Morano thanks providers for their work, acknowledges complaints but appreciates staff effort, and invites Jody Rudin to begin.

Frank Morano

First, before you begin, actually, I'll say, you know, a lot of us who are trying to do the right thing by our veterans or people that are in shelters generally, we're quick to complain.

Frank Morano

And sometimes I'm concerned that that has the effect of people like you or other providers that spend a lot of time and effort trying to

Frank Morano

help people that that leads those folks to feeling like their work is not appreciated.

Frank Morano

Know that however many complaints I have about Borden Avenue or any other facility, I really appreciate and recognize the work that not only you do, but your staff does.

Frank Morano

Thank you for doing it.
