Thank you, and thank you for the work you do. It's incredibly important.
Marika, I have a couple of questions. In terms of how we proceed with this, I'm going to assume that co-op housing is one of the models that could wrap around the proposal you're suggesting and that the creation of co-op housing is, in some ways, a modified version of the same model you're talking about.
This links back to the earlier questions. Women who age into care and into the need for affordable housing often emerge from very marginalized economic communities, from social or physical marginalization and threats, and require specified care and care that is unique, care that is different from what it might be if men were present. In fact, the presence of men may undermine their sense of security and sense of safety.
Would you support a carve-out that was aimed specifically at aging women to create communities for women who have emerged from these vulnerabilities to make sure their situation is spoken to directly, as opposed to a more general housing fund that was simply competed for by all groups equally?
