the most cost effective thing that we can do is to move people to self-sufficiency. The goal here is to do just that, to improve neighborhoods, especially low-income neighborhoods and public housing areas and to get people, if we can, to focus on what they need to do to get to the end game, which will be in my opinion a job that will help support their family. The concept is, if I can, to work with the housing authority so that there can be ongoing discussion on how to get there, what path do we need to take to get to that end game?
