Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you are aware, one of our initiatives is called SOPHI, sale of public housing initiative, which in the smaller communities, if there are surplus unoccupied public housing units, our preference is to allow the residents of that community who would fall under one or two of our existing home-owner programs to take possession of that through a sale. I think that will give those individuals who have some form of income and who can afford to maintain those homes and pay the mortgage, although it may be small, the opportunity to purchase those homes that are surplus to our existing needs. Thank you.
