I welcome all the witnesses and thank them for the significant effort they put into this detail. My question is in regard to HAP and RAS. What are the performance targets in regard to how much we are spending on those? Is there a significant difference in how long people have been on them when they get their house? How are targets being set in that regard? It is very hard to discern how the Department is even setting targets because everything seems to be bunched together. Is there a more streamlined way we could look at this?
