Voting analysis

One title appears twice on Pete Aguilar's filing list — an affordable housing resident services act, recorded in two forms. Resident services are the staff and programmes attached to subsidised housing rather than the housing itself, and they are usually the first thing cut, because a building without a caseworker still counts as a building.
