“Yes, I agree, Commissioner Waters. This is such a moment to celebrate, Stephen, and thank you so much. This is such great news. I know there's always work to be done, but a couple of questions. I know that the county has been working on gap financing and moving that deficit to be less of a deficit, and I know our municipal partners are as well. So is that sort of a... a signal that at least what we're doing seems to be working because i think about the housing stock available for our residents in this program you are finding housing but i i just wanted to get affirmation about that unless you…”

“Thank you. I'm looking at your slide. And Sarah, welcome, by the way, to Wake County. Yes. Thank you. It's good to see you. Good to meet you. I'm looking at your slide about the zoning in Wake County and how you show the variability among municipalities with zoning issues related to mobile homes. And I'm curious, given that the county often serves as a convener and a bridge builder of conversations on affordable housing, And given that mobile homes are a form of affordable housing, I was just curious if there's any room for conversations at the county level with our municipal partners on…”

“Great. Thank you so much. And then finally, for people in the community who want like a main number or a main website, you know, I know there's a no wrong door approach, right, that we're trying to demonstrate.

“Okay. Thank you, colleagues, for the good questions and for the good answers. Morgan, I appreciate all the detail that's gone into this and thoughtfulness that's gone into this. It sounds like I hear you saying this does serve an identified need for non-congregant shelter for single women. I hear you saying for women who are victims of domestic violence, this could be an option, potentially. for single. Could you talk a little bit about, I wanna ask here a little more about the medical respite services. Are there other community partners who are providing those services now?”

“And then the follow-up, I think, to what Commissioner Adamson was talking about, Interact is also a partner and could be a partner for women experiencing domestic violence. Is that right?”

“I just want to echo, too, the thoroughness and the comprehensive work you all do and also accessibility as well. I want to thank you all, your staff, for being accessible to our residents when they have questions and accessible to me as a board member when I have questions as well. So thank you for that. And could you just restate again for the public, why does more frequent revows make the system more transparent and fair? Sometimes I think that bears repeating.”

And kudos to two Rotary Clubs in Western Wake, the Apex Sunrise Rotary Club and the McGregor Rotary Club hosted a big Oktoberfest event on Friday and Saturday at the Cocoa Booth Amphitheater in Cary. and the beneficiary of the funds was to Neighbor Up, so we had Neighbor Up as part of our housing presentation today, and they're just such a wonderful resource, so all the proceeds went to fund some of the work that Neighbor Up is doing, and secondly, I had an opportunity to participate on a panel discussion of our Wake Leadership Academy, and…”
