Banks asks headcount and cost to reduce backlog; Greene will follow up

And when it comes to headcount by trade, what would it take to maintain a work order backlog in NITRA Section 9 portfolio?

So right now we are maintaining the backlog because it has not increased.

And that's with our 1,700 skilled trades right now.

And I can give you a breakdown by craft if you're interested or follow up.

If you can get us that and also to what would it cost to get the work under work order backlog from where it is now down to $200,000 and maintained over a five-year period?

So.

Chair, we will definitely follow up with that.

But I do want to note one thing that's very important is that work quarters are not just numbers on a page.

Right.

Work quarters are actually physically doing the work.

And so the most important thing, for example, that we've started in the past.

I get that.

Yeah, past couple of years is the relocation programs.

Because a lot of work that we have to do, most notably, as a gentleman on the panel just said earlier, asbestos.

You know, asbestos is something that we have advocated for in the past couple of years to get hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to do asbestos, not only in vacant apartments to make them asbestos safe and remove the old tiles, but also in occupied apartments.

But what that requires is a resident really making a significant change.

They have to make a decision to move either to a hotel or to another unit while we do those significant repairs.

So we want to get repairs done.

We're looking for funding to do that.

But logistically, a lot of this is also working hand in hand with residents.

I'm on the ground every day as, you know, every day as well.

I'm at properties every single day to make sure that we are pushing these cases as quickly as possible.

There is logistical challenges.
