Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Any further documentation you could provide to the committee would be helpful.
I guess it's concerning, just because we often talk about how many millions and how many thousands of dollars are being spent on something—and I appreciate that there is work being done and I can respect that—but after listening to several different witnesses over the course of the last several weeks, it just seems as though every time we turn around.... Of course, they're asking for more funding, but how do we use that funding so that we no longer have 500 people being turned away at shelters?
My next question, then, would be.... Yes, you've committed to additional funding for shelters in 2021—in fact, over $300 million—so what is the progress of this funding and how is it being allocated to shelters across the country? How many women's shelters and how many men's shelters?
Again, this is not going away. It was intended to be fixed years ago. We heard from one particular witness that 20 years ago they had an endgame of 10 years and were hoping to have this situation solved, but today, again.... You're insinuating that you're not going to stop until it's solved. What is it going to take? How can we best use these millions of dollars that are being poured into these programs? Money doesn't solve everything. We need action and actual programs.
