2023-2024. >> thank you mr. clerk. this is an item that actually continue from last week due the increase of dollar amount from previous $2.25 million to $3.5 million. >> thank you so much chair chan. i want to again thank you and everyone on the team for your work on this over the last few months. with this being the second meeting where this item is discused i don't think i have much to add that hasn't been said, but that never stopped me before so if you indulge me. i'm kidding there is a positive

aspect not mentioned that i did feel i wanted to express and that was the preand post apec outreach strengthened the relationship between office of economic workforce development and office of small business. i gave a general thank you thin last meeting but i have heard from a lot of businesses and residents how much they appreciate the city has these officers and how helpful thaes have been, so this has been a xirz that is worthwhile and i think will pay dividends for years to come so thank you. of course, my thanks to everybody on this committee and with that i appreciate the opportunity to be here. >> thank you. supervisor engardio. >> thank you. we heard last week a number of taraval merchants came to public comment and described the years of disruption they

face and at the mercy of sfmta to finish the muni track replacement as promised by the end of the year and some businesses reported a lot of up to 70 percent of sales so it would be a travesty if we got new train tracks and there were no businesses for people to visit so why i work would the budget chair and with our director of the office of small business to request $1 million of left over apec fund toward helping the businesses suffering on taraval. as i said last week, it is worth repeating every week and every day, we are one city, so we can help businesses who suffered last fall and those who continue to suffer today. we must come together help a major part of our city, which is taraval and spending a portion of the apec funds to help taraval. it is about saving businesses and tax base and it benefits the city as a whole. >> thank you and yust

appreciate both for your leadership here as well as supervisor melgar who also represents part of the taraval street merchants and together i think this body has really worked together to support the merchants, but i know just begun to make sure that these support and relief are distributed timely and also equitably so a lot of work ahead of us and i also look forward to having a ongoing budget conversation with city departments how to create a fund now that we have these type oof fund going and are these type of relief program with that model for many other relief to come, so thank you and with that, let's go to public comment on this item. >> we invite memberoffs the public who wish to speak on item 1, now is your opportunity to line up to speak along the windows to your right and if you approach the lectern you

will be given two minutes to speak. >> thank you for having us today. scott, executive director for yerba buena community district and thank you to the supervisors and leadership through this process and advocacy for community and all the support that went through that. also, i want to echo supervisor dorsey's comments about office economic worse force development and office of small business. that relationship that expanded through this process has been game-changing for our community and so kudos to [indiscernible] and katie and her team. we are proud where this can go and how we can continue to develop relationships for our community and make our small businesses and cultural oregs so strong so thank you all, appreciate your support. >> thank you much for your comments. next speaker, please. >> happy valentine's day

supervisors. first off, my name is desy from cultivate labs doing work in soma. we really appreciate the love you are showing to the small businesses and cultural organizations in south of market, apec was a trying time for a lot of these organizations and the one thing i like to say is that, who ever chosen to administer these funds should try to charge the least amount of administration fee. sometimes when granting is done, 10 to 20 percent is set aside for administration and a pot of money like this, that could equal support for at least 20 different businesses and organizations so thank you. >> thank you much for your comments. and last call for public comment. madam chair, we completed the queue. >> public comment is now closed and colleagues, i like to move the item to full board with recommendation and a roll call, please.

>> on that motion to forward the ordinance to full board with positive recommendation, mandelman, aye. melgar, aye. chan, aye. we have 3 ayes. >> thank you the motion passes. mr. clerk, please call items 2 and 3 together. >> item 2 and 3. item 2, resolution authorizing the mayor's office of housing and community development to expend soma community stabilization fund dollars in the amount of $200,000 to address various impacts of destabilization on residents and businesses in soma for a term to commence effective upon approval of this resolution through june 30, 2026. item 3, resolution approving and authorizing 1) the execution of a first amendment to the amended and restated loan agreement with octavia rsu associates, l.p., a california

last year and expenditures were approved by this board july of 2023. we then issued a rfp for the remaining $200 thousand in august 2023. we received one proposal from bishop we determined to be responsive to the rfp and here to ask for approval to expend the remaining funds from the community benefit agreement to this project. happy to answer any questions you may have. >> supervisor melgar. >> thank you so much chair chan. so, i am interested in 78 haight. you are redoing the loan agreement. there is a history behind this. >> [indiscernible] director of policy. these are two separate items. >> but they called them together. >> yes. do we want-we can do the presentation for 78 haight.

>> i'm sorry. >> we'll move on to the 78 haight presentation. >> are we taking public comment separately? >> we are going to take public comment together. >> that's what i thought. >> thank you. i have been dispensing the stable phraigz fund for quite some time. i think the last time-we appreciate that. we don't have any questions on that, so let's go to 78 haight presentation and then have the bla report and go into details of question. >> good morning chair chan and supervisors melgar and mandelman. my name is ann here to present on item 3 relate d to the increase permanent loan for 78 haight street. the purpose of this resolution is request approval of first

amendment loan agreement to increase the city financing by up to $8.5 million for total loan not to exceed 35 million 306 thousand 233 dollars. 78 haight street is a 63 unit affordable housing development constructed on a small infill city owned site on haight and octavia streets. it is one of the last central freeway parcels to be developed as affordable housing. the parcel has been long envisioned to be supportive housing for tay 18-24 and support service will be provided by larkin street youth service. the remaining 31 units are studios for adult households. the project was intended to include separate child care fronting octavia street which is no longer feasible and will be repurposed for a few additional units and smaller

commercial space. the project history is that tndc selected to be the developer. the project then received 9 percent tax credit allocation under special needs set aside in 2021. the project closed on construction finance april 2022 including a long-term city ground lease and $26.7 million gap loan. soon, the project was halted due to unforeseen conditions at the adjacent property, mount trinity baptist church at risk of collapse if construction proceeds. in 2023 after outreach and multiple meetings able to reach a agreement to work on a plan to stabilize the property. in january 2024 the city affordable housing loan committee approved the request for increase loan to support the restart of the housing

project. this slide shows the increase in project cost which is substantial due to the cost of stabilize the neighboring property, construction cost escalation over the last 2 years remobilization costs, current high interest rates for the construction loan and increase in associated soft cost. in addition projected operating cost have gain up. the $10.5 million additional cost is proposed to be funded by increase loan of up to $8.5 million and tndc contributing. tndc is applying for funding and subsidies to reduce the city gap loan. the project is urgent it restart in march so it can meet the tax credit deadline where

it needs to be completed by the end of 2025. this slide depicts the permanent financing, so includes the loan amendment increase of $8.5 million. with approval from the board of supervisors for this increase loan the project would remobilize construction in march and be complete september 2025. mohcd fully supports this request and happy to answer any questions. we also have representatives from tndc and mount trinity baptist church. thank you. >> thank you. >> good morning. nick monard from budget legislative analyst office. item 3 is resolution that approves a change to the loan agreement between the mayor office of housing and octavia associates which is tndc. the loan is increasing by 8 and a half million dollars, which

is funded by a combination of housing trust fund money and general obligation bonds proceeds. we detail the use of the loan on page 8 of the report where you see the project cost increased by 10 and a half million dollars due to construction on the neighboring church to make it resilient and bring up to building code standard to redesign the project in light of the child care center no longer feasible, and other escalations and cost due to the delay in getting construction started. the total 10 and a half million dollar is funded by combination of this loan that is before you today as well as $1.1 million developer equity that is taken out of the fee to tndc for this project. i think that is a appropriate sharing of risk given some of the delays in getting this construction started and the associated cost increases for

this project are the developer responsibility, so i do think that makes sense. as noted, this loan requires tndc to apply for other funding to help offset this increase in city funding for this project. if they-the loan specifies certain federal sources they need to apply for including continuum of care funding which cannot be used to offset to restore the developer fee but also have to apply for project based vouchers and veteran vouchers which could potentially be used to restore all or portion of the developer fee that is up to the department to decide. again, we do recommend approval of item 3. >> thank you. supervisor melgar. >> thank you chair chan. thank you mr. monard. so, this project and the population it serves is very

much needed. it is a very under-served population, but really very little about the loan amendment makes me feel good. the fact that it is so expensive that we are putting in more money for damages to the next door structure, but what particularly bothers me the most is that we are now saying the childcare, which was such a integral part of this project is no longer feasible, so i like to understand why it isn't feasible when we have millions of dollars rolled over from baby prop c for this use and i know that for transitional age youth parents the rates of child abuse and neglect are higher then anyone else's so child care and services for this population is like really really important for their success. i want to know what options were explored, why it is no

longer feasible and who made that decision? >> thank you. good question. sheila director mohcd. child care spaces by state licensing are required to have a certain amount of outdoor space available generally on site. a few years ago the city was able to negotiate with the state so licenseic grant the ability to provide outdoor space off-site but it has within walking distance of the primary facility and meet safety and visibility requirements. with this particular site location, we had originally thought would make that state licensing requirement and they would be able to walk the kids to a nearby park. >> which park? >> [indiscernible] >> huh? >> [indiscernible]

>> coshland park, so not patricia green but up the hill a few blocks and further discussion with state licensing it was too far to meet the requirements. >> what about the mini park? did that- >> the patricia? >> no, the mini-park between on laguna. that is one question. the second is what about the roof? >> they would have to design separate egress for kids if they were to use any nob [indiscernible] which reduce the amount of space in the building because you have to have two stairwells. a separate stairwell specifically for kids to use. >> was that considered or just we designing with it was too expensive? it rights off different money, money specifically for

childcare, right? >> [indiscernible] my understanding is that we were going to work with [indiscernible] child care services for the child care center. they were going to provide the child care services there. i can assure you we looked at all the different parks in the neighborhood to see if any of them would be able to meet the environments of the state licensing requirements. the issue was i think there were two issues and speaking off the top of my head. one issue was they did not want to cross a major street with kids, because this is supposed to be for younger kids. the child care center. so, the park which was within distance was actually like across like a heavy traffic street so that was one issue, and the other issue, the park close by, i think the park you mentioned does not have the play structures the state

licensing requirements require for the park to meet the licensing requirements, so i think because of that neither of the parks which were within the radius we needed would qualify to meet the state licensing requirement. >> that explanation makes me feel worse because if one provider didn't want to be crossing the street i wonder if a different provider who specializing in this population would be willing to do that in order to serve them? what about the roof i ask again, because i think if it were any other affordable housing i would say okay, that's--it makes it more expensive or whatever, but this particular population needs this service. like more then anyone else. and we have millions of dollars of baby prop c rolled over. i don't see anyone here from

the department of early childhood. were they consulted? do you work with them? what happened there? >> hi, there. [indiscernible] mohcd. the street issue is a licensing requirement. regardless how traffic flow is, no licensed provider is able to cross the street. >> patricia green to far? >> it is too far and the other doesn't have the structures. in regards to the consideration about the roof, the project is designed to have one stairwell to change and put two stairwells would be significant redesign and cost more money. the alternative is look at fcc, family child care center on site like one unit that have licensing up to 8 children that can help provide support for this. we can certainly look at that. we haven't been able to because there is no actual outdoor space and to your point, we can't use the roof because of

egress requirements, so it is very much limited but we can look at that. we have been in discussion with [indiscernible] is also agrees this wasn't a perfect site. we were trying to fit a square in a circle and make it work for the population, but it is very very difficult based on the licensing requirements. >> yes. it seems like we should have known that before we started designing the building. if this is the population that we were going to serve. again, it-nothing about this makes me feel good or have confidence that this is going to be a successful project given the cost over-runs and damages, the fact we designed and promised something to the community that turns out isn't feasible and we should have known that from the get-go. thank you for the explanation. >> what is the state requirement for walking distance? for child care facility. >> i don't know off the top of

my head. >> that's a problem. >> we can find it too. i- >> you should know though, right? >> hear me out, the reason why i said that is because patricia green is 0.2 miles away, it is 5 minute walk. i understand that there is the crossing of the issue. patricia green i think meets the requirement and let me tell you why. because, in chinatown where there is [indiscernible] to meet the child care facility requirement as well. those are the questions i have. trying to understand. to understand the requirement. the walking distance is fairly similar and in fact i work on that specifically making sure that when there was a vendor

moving into [indiscernible] was going to cause children service in chinatown losing their license as well because of the state requirement, so i do understand that. it is a very critical element to it, but i think it seems like--let's hear about why isn't patricia green a option specifically? both in distance and other requirements. >> patricia green doesn't meet safety requirements because it is open to the street so the street wants to see for this young age a fenced in space. >> i believe all child playground are fenced in in the city of san francisco. >> patricia green has that open- >> sure. but the child playground is fenced in. >> the playground has the large climbing structure which isn't age appropriate for the young kids. i can follow up with lif and office of early care and education and outline some of

the specific state requirements around this. >> sounds good. thank you. i don't see other questions on the roster or name on it roster so go to public comment. >> members of the public who joined who wish to speak on items 2 or 3, now is your opportunity to address the committee. step up to the lectern, i'll start your time. >> good morning. chris comings director of housing development for tenderloin neighborhood development here to speak in support of mohcd for funding to help the 78 haight project and fund permanent repairs to the neighboring mount trinity baptist church which is a important community asset to the neighborhood. the project was delayed given structural conditions at the neighboring mount trinity baptist church and we worked tirelessly and took a very long time to collaborate with the church members to come up with

a optimal solution that worked for the city, for tndc and mount trinity baptist congregation. the funding will help support the circumstances of the delay caused by the structural challenge and also of course fund permanent repairs at the church. tndc does understand the city has limited funding for projects like this and we are working hard to identify other non public resources to help capitalize this project. as a example we are talking to the wineburg foundation about bringing potentially upwards of $2 million it to help offset the capital cost and the permanent structure repair tuesday the baptist church. we really are committed to delivering this project. we will look back at the child care requirement and the requirement around potentially operating a family child care center, which tndc does do at other properties and we urge you to support the funding request for 78 haight and mount

trinity baptist church. thank you. >> thank you. any other members of the public who wish to address the committee? madam chair, that completes the queue. >> thank you. seeing no more public comment, public comment is now closed. before i call on you supervisor melgar, i think from the public comment reminded we i have a questions about the church. i am interested to understand, when we are providing and supporting the church for necessary repairs and share cost, which how long is that going to take for us to complete the repair? >> we expect the construction repairs on the church will be completed june of this year so about 6 months. >> wonderful. is there a possibility given the fact there is the ab 2011

and some other legislation coming from the state that really allows the city and really allowing the city and churches to work together to identify sites that could be feasible for housing development? could there be a conversation or can there be a conversation to really understand the conditions of the site and whether that could be a possibility for the church as well? because we are spending money to repair and investing just curious. >> good morning. certainly we thought about that initially. we thought about potentially asking if there could have been a merge with the two propertiess. at this time we are not able to merge the church with our property but in the future should the church want to engage with mohcd and the city potentially using their site to

build affordable housing we would happily have that conversation with them. >> that is wonderful. it is good we are supporting the church and continue going as a church, but love to see the-exploring that possibility. thank you. supervisor melgar. >> thank you. one last question and that is, folks talked about the possibility of having a family child care provider on site. i wonder if there are any units in the design that would accommodate that? >> i can answer that. one thing we are trying to do is with the redesign of the commercial space on the ground floor, we are trying to add residential units on the ground floor and make the commercial space smaller, so we can explore trying to have a family child care center on the ground floor, try to reconfigure some of the enclosed space into a partially open space and see if that meets the requirements so that is something on the design side we can explore.

>> you can explore it, but it is not a requirement of the loan? >> not currently. >> we can request that as a condition of the loan. >> okay, thank you. >> so, colleagues, i am in support of moving these two items forward, but i see the nodding from supervisor melgar and vice chair mandelman. i think we do have questions. love to get the answers of those questions. we will not-once this voting out today, it will not be coming back to full board for the vote until tuesday february 27, so would love to have those answer before the first vote at full board to give us some time. with that, i like to move these

two items out to full board with recommendation and roll call, please. >> on that motion to forward both resolutions to full board with positive recommendation, mandelman, aye. melgar, aye. chan, aye. three ayes. >> thank you the motion passes. with that, mr. clerk please call item number 4. >> item 4, resolution approving and authorizing the execution, delivery, and performance of amended and restated lease no. 17134 for building 49, located at 701 illinois street within crane cove park between the port of san francisco and the young men's christian association of san francisco (ymca sf) that would among other things, reduce the seismic improvements described in the existing lease, eliminate all rent credits for any seismic work performed by the ymca sf, require the ymca sf to open the public restrooms no later than july 1, 2024, delay the rent commencement date to no later than october 1, 2024, as defined in the amended and restated lease; affirming prior findings under the california environmental quality act; and authorizing the executive director of the port to enter into any additions, amendments or other modifications to the amended and restated lease that do not materially increase the

obligations or liabilities of the city or port and are necessary or advisable to complete the transactions which this resolution contemplates and effectuate the purpose and intent of this resolution. madam chair. >> thank you mr. clerk. today we have james hurley, port development project manager from san francisco port. >> thank you and qu good morning. jamie hurley from real estate and development division with the port here with forest [indiscernible] the port's legislative affairs manager and just have a couple brief slides to run through on this item. so, just to give you the background as you may recall,

this was a lease that was brought before this body and then ultimately the full board last june i believe, and ultimately executed with a commencement date of august 1 of 2023. the master tenant under the lease is ymca of san francisco and they have two subtenants both local organizations. one dogpatch paddle an aquatic center and the other daily driver is small food and beverage. the reason we are here is seeking recommendation for approval of an amendment to the lease. the reason we need to amend the lease has to do with the need to make a change to the seismic retrofit strategy for the building, and this change in the seismic scope is really required to bring the project back into financial feasibility

and insure successful project delivery. we worked very closely with the ymca design team, the structural engineering team and port engineering to insure that the new seismic scope will meet the code requirements, building code requirements and will provide and are still provide for building that is enhanced seismic resiliency as compared to the existing condition. so, with that, there are just a very few changes, amendments to the lease. one is that with this change to the seismic scope, we will be eliminating the need for the port to provide up to $500 thousand in rent credits to share the cost for that seismic

work. and then due to the delay associated with this need to rethink the seismic scope and redesign the project to accommodate that change, we are pushing back the rent commencement date from july 1 of this year to october 1 of this year, so three months more to complete the project and get the building open before rent begins. and then the last thing that i wanted to highlight is that, there are public restrooms in this building that are very important. everyone is eager for those to be open and available to park visitors. right now there are porta potties out there, so this amendment will access rail the requirement for the ymca to open and operate those public

restrooms no later then july 1 of this year, so we want to make sure that they are open and available to the public in the height of the summer months. so, we are here today at budget finance committee with your recommendation we anticipate being at the full board on february 27 and as i mentioned, the restrooms would be open july 1. we expect the full building to be open in early fall, so it is about 6 to 8 month construction period. port is poised to issue a building permit to the ymca so they can begin construction pretty much immediately upon approval by the full board of this new lease or lease amendment. so, that concludes my presentation. happy to answer questions after the bla report. thank you. >> thank you.

>> item 4 is a resolution that approves amended restated lease between the port and ymca related to building 49 in crane cove park and pier 70. this is a change to a very recently approved lease the board approved june 2023 and which changes which described by the department include pushing back the rent commencement date from july to october of this year, requiring the ymca to open restrooms to the public on july of this year as well and then reducing their obigation to complete seismic improvements. in the original lease the seismic improvements met certain standards recommended by the american civil society of engineers and including steel reinforcement of the building wall and roof. that work will no longer be done, so it is a loss to the city of approximately $1.4 million and instead, the ymca

is going to reinforce the building with plywood and bolts which the port staff told us meet the port's building standards. this does result in additional half million dollars in rent to the port over the initial 10 year term of the lease, but again, that is less then the value of the work of the seismic work that was part of the original lease. given how recently the lease was approved by the board it raises concerning questions about the port's process to vet ymca proposal over the summer and their ult ability to carry out the work they promised to do on the site and now this building will not have the benefit of that seismic improvement work. i'm not sure-we recommend approval because this was one of two proposals. putting it back out to bid didn't seem a feasible option

and they are continuing to commit to do tenant improvement work part of the original lease including bringing the ing port up to building standards but we will be reviewing the port assessment of their tenants with a closer eye in the future. >> thank you. i think the realty is the port is diversifying your portfolio of tenants. sounds to me you are diversifying the portfolio of tenants portfolio. you do have diverse cruise terminal and ferry building and fisherman's wharf and also a very now crane cove park which is a new addition to your portfolio. i'm interested to see a more comprehensive approach or just want to learn what is your

comprehensive approach to such a diverse tenant portfolio in lease agreement and capital improvements? there are clearly very vastly different kinds of capital improvement and while you are also have the concerns of sea wall, and it is very complicated and i just like to learn more. i think this is a one good snapshot of here's the brand new property, you adopted-not brand new, but you know what i trying to say. it isn't traditionally what port is trying to do and new in terms of newly renovated and new agreement with many different players coming into the space, so interested to see if this is approach to port property moving forward, then is there a way that you know

how you can be consistent with that? i don't have any questions at the moment. anymore questions, but i see supervisor melgar is on the roster. >> thank you chair chan. thank you mr. monard and port staff, thank you. so, i read the bla report and also had concerns about that and i will say that on the other hand, i'm thrilled the ymca has gotten the lease for this building. i have a personal connection to this building and that is that my dear dear friend paul nixon who was one of the founders of the community center, which i worked at for many years used to take low income at risk youth to this building to teach them how to kayak, which is not something that a lot of poor kids in the city get to do.

in fact, there is such a huge inequity about who uses our bay and who gets to learn how to sail, how to kayak, how to do all these water sports and paul was a teacher, a long-term teacher at macatear high school and devoted his life to poor kids so i'm so glad the ymca is taking this over because that is their mission. i would love at some point to see if we can name something there after paul, because he definitely-that was his spot and generations of black and brown kids from the mission, bayview learn how to kayak and do water sports because of him and this building, so i will support this. i will work with supervisor walton and the ymca to see if we can do something about that,

but the history of that place offsets the concerns for me at least about the ymca being the lesser. >> paul nixon was a very dear friend of the port and beloved, so something we can look at and again in addition to ymca there this is aquatic components that carries forward his legacy of icmaing available lessens and bringing in camps, students through dogpatch paddle one of the subtenants. >> he was a constituents of supervisor mandelman and his widow pat still lives in his district. >> thank you. before we go to public comment, i believe we have clerical edit to the legislation.

the clerical edit with the changes and page 1 lines 10-13 and it is to add language with no change to initial term of 10 years ret ret roactive to august 1, 2023 to extend for total term up to 34 years 11 month with base rent of $92.809.80. is that correct? i see nodding. no one saying anything out loud but nodding is good. >> yes, thank you. >> thank you. with that, let's go to public comment. >> thank you madam chair. we invite members who joined today who wish to speak on this item number 4 now is the opportunity to address the committee. >> good morning. i apologize not knowing what the issue is. i just came in.

if there is no declaration of conflict of interest, i do believe it isn't valid. [indiscernible] you need to declare your conflict of interest for everything now, otherwise--you know. i said that before. >> thank you much terry. seeing no other speakers, we completed our queue. >> thank you. seeing no more public comment, public comment is closed and colleagues i like to move the item to first make the amendment that we-i have read before public comment and move the amended item with the clerical edit to the full board with recommendation and can we do that in one motion please and roll call? >> yes, on that motion to amend this resolution to accept the clerical edit and forward the resolution to full board with

positive recommendation as amended, mandelman aye. melgar, aye. chan, aye. we have three ayes. >> thank you. the motion passes. mr. clerk, please call item number 5. >> item 5 is a resolution authorizing the tax collector to sell at public auction certain parcels of tax-defaulted real property, as defined herein. madam chair. >> thank you. thank you we have amanda from chief and policy office of treasurer tax collector office. >> good morning. amanda freed. item 5 resolution authorizing the tax collector to sell tax-faulted property at public auction. the auction is governed by state law. property becomes eligible for auction when a owner fails to pay taxes for 5 years and we are required to offer properties for auction that remained delinquent 9 years.

the 159 parcels listed for auction today are a tiny percentage of the 210 thousand total parcels in the city and county of san francisco. more then 99 percent of owners pay property tax bills on time and in full. of the 159 parcels, there are 7 with structures or lots that could accommodate a structure, 18 time shares and remainder are unbuildable parcels such as very small sliver lots and underwater lots. we scrutinized each parcel today and provided you with a memo outleaning our processing the process and parcel of interest in your district. we research the characteristics and ownership history, sent mailings to the property and any other related addresses on record for the entirety of the time the taxes were delinquent. parcels with no non concontact information we take additional

steps that exceed state requirements, including mailing notification to all contiguous parcels to make aware of the upcoming auction. we also taken additional steps to bring all available resources to bear for any occupied property where there could be a individual at risk of losing their home. sheriff deputies visited each occupied property to provide in-person notification. we worked closely with adult protective service recollect mayor office of housing community development, home ownership sf and hera to provide social services, financial counseling and legal assistance. once approved by the board of supervisors the list of parcel subject to auction will be published in the newspaper of record and available on our website and the auction will take place online beginning april 22. happy to take any questions. >> thank you. i want to first thank you and your office working with some of our constituents over the

removal of 3548 to 3550 20th street which belong to murphy ralph for one more year. this is the same property they requested removal from last year. i believe there is concrete effort to trying to pay the remaining or to try to actually pay the bill, so to speak, and i would like to really support that efforts. i think there is concrete effort to try to do that so i will be supporting the removal of that property from today's list. supervisor melgar. >> thank you chair chan. just a question. thank you so much. ditto to everything chair chan said. thank you so much for all your work. my question is about the process. i know a lot of it is dictated by state law, but is there a effort to work with non profit

housing developers to alert them to this or advantage them in any way in purchasing some of the sites? >> yes, there is a lot of action on that state-wide and here in san francisco. last year or the year before supervisor safai passed some additional legislation around the auction so we now provide our list when parcels are three years deling delinquent to mayor office of housing community development. they have been phenomenal partners. we sent the list, they reviewed, had a number of meetings going through the parcels. the realty in san francisco is the parcels oen the list are largely unbuildable. they are sliver slots, underwater lots, time shares. there are not parcels of value that for construction, but i know partners at mohcd have been working closely to make sure we dont miss anything and we act as early as possible and

there are additional ways that non profits and the city can acquire delinquent before auction. >> thank you. >> thank you. with that, let's go to public comment on this item. >> members of the public who joined today who wish to speak number 5 now is your opportunity. madam chair, we have no speakers. >> thank you. public comment is now closed. with that, i like to first remove the-i like to-doesn't sound there is any other items intend to remove from the list, so i am going to make that in one swoop. the motion to remove 3548 to 3550 20th street from the list and to move the amended list to full board with recommendation and with that, a roll call, please. >> on that motion to remove

>> thank you. i don't have anymore questions about this item. i think the proposed amendment was very clear to instead of the blanket waver of 5 years for hsh to then come in compliance of the procurement requirement at the end of the 5 years blanket waver, i propose the 2 years of facing in the procurement process for different kind of contract. different existing contract that went through the procurement, those were sole sourced as well as the new contract, the amendments was on the record that i put it on the record last wednesday. i am just going to-i don't have anymore questions. i think that supervisor mandelman was very clear since december of where he's been. no questions about that, which i appreciate. i am still where i'm at since

last wednesday about the amendments that i would like to see moving forward without it i will-i need to really reconsider my thinking around this legislation, which i will not be able to colleagues to say this could go out of this committee with recommendation today. i think no matter how it goes i like this for it to go out without recommendation just allow us some conversation at the full board to make sure that colleagues are aware what we are voting on. supervisor melgar you begin a swing vote on this issue which sure putting you in a tough spot but i appreciate your continuance you request for one week from last week and just allow you some time since you are new member of the committee. >> thank you so much chair chan and i appreciate that. i'm a new member of the committee and wrapping my head around all the issues and have to do more dual diligence

because i'm coming up to speed and i chair always have appreciated and admired your thoughtfulness and demand for accountability for departments and results oriented approach to things which is why i wanted to be on this committee. i think that since we heard this last week, i did request some further information from the department, which i did receive and also had the opportunity to have conversation with other colleagues who are not on this committee and folks in the community, so i am ready to support the legislation and that also means that since we are staying on this committee and have a very tough budget year coming up, i will also

closely scrutinize what goes on, particularly as it pertains to our district on the west side chair chan, because i'm eager to have this department be successful in getting folks out of homelessness and into permanent supportive or other housing, so that we can get our city back to a path of housing first of making sure that people are not suffering on the streets when they cannot pay the rent , so i am also grateful for my colleagues and their speens in all this. thank you. >> thank you. vice chair mandelman. >> i just like to be added as cosponsor. >> thank you. lets-sounds like we are good. we know where we are at. let's go to public comment on this item. >> members who wish to speak on

this item number 6, now is your opportunity to address this committee. >> you can't stop homelessness if you keep being afraid of daring to say what you really feel. you need to say what you feel. stop being afraid. because it is a endless situation. that is how it goes, guys. so, you are responsible. you have to be responsible. say what you feel. you dont like to be ordered to do something, so why are you doing it? it's not good for you. >> thank you for addressing the committee. with that madam chair, that completes the queue. >> thank you. with that, seeing no public

comment, public comment is closed. thank you. i just wanted to say before we move this item if i may colleagues. i will move the item to full board without recommendation and hope to have your support on that and want to articulate the reason why. i think a few things happening. i don'ts know if you all see the 7/11-we received public comment specifically about 711 post street and that there is also the most recent concerns with the 935 kearney in chinatown as a location, and for me is, not just about a public process with some of these projects that department of homelessness and supportive housing put forward. it is both reflection on having

the waver on top of the covid emergency declaration waver for all procurement and seeing how we need to have accountability and oversight. it is complex and diverse in terms of both solutions and problems that we tackle that i think it is good to facing-to put in a faces to get this to the departments to get to where everybody needs to be, which is a procurement process for the city and if we have issues with the procurement process itself, let's tackle it separately. that's really has been my intent and i think there is a lot of issues with this department and we can definitely problem solve it in many different ways. this is not a end all be all legislation. with that, i like to move this item to full board without recommendation and roll call please. >> on that motion that the ordinance refer without recommendation to the full

board, mandelman, aye. melgar, aye. chan, aye. we have three ayes. >> thank you. the motion passes. with that, do we have any other business before us today? >> madam chair, that concludes our business. >> thank you, the meet is adjourned. [meeting adjourned]

>> for us, we wish we had our queue and we created spaces that are active. >> food and drinks. there is a lot for a lot of folks and community. for us, it started back in 1966 and it was a diner and where our ancestors gathered to connect. i think coffee and food is the very fabric of our community as well as we take care of each other. to have a pop-up in the tenderloin gives it so much meaning. >> we are always creating

impactful meaning of the lives of the people, and once we create a space and focus on the most marginalized, you really include a space for everyone. coffee is so cultural for many communities and we have coffee of maria inspired by my grandmother from mexico. i have many many memories of sharing coffee with her late at night. so we carry that into everything we do. currently we are on a journey that is going to open up the first brick and mortar in san francisco specifically in the tenderloin. we want to stay true to our ancestors in the

tenderloin. so we are getting ready for that and getting ready for celebrating our anniversary. >> it has been well supported and well talked about in our community. that's why we are pushing it so much because that's how we started. very active community members. they give back to the community. support trends and give back and give a safe space for all. >> we also want to let folks know that if they want to be in a safe space, we have a pay it forward program that allows 20% to get some funds for someone in need can come and get a cup of coffee, pastry and feel welcomed in our community. to be among our community, you are always welcome here. you don't have to buy anything or get anything,

just be here and express yourself and be your authentic self and we will always take care of you.

all the time and what can i do why not bring this ice cream shop and (unintelligible) joy a banana split or a great environment for people to come and enjoy. >> we're the ordinances of the hometown and our new locations in pink valley when i finished law school we should open up a store and, and, and made everybody from scrap the first ice cream shop any ice cream we do our own culture background and a lot of interaction and we're fortunate we can get feedback and serve to the king of ending and also

>> you are watching san francisco rising. [music] today's special guest is mano raju. hi. i'm chris and you are watching san francisco rising the show about restarting and rebuilding and reimagineings our city. our guest is mano raju san francisco's public defender great you could be here. actual at this time us about yourself how you became the public defend and why it is important to provide legal representtation to people that can't afford council. >> i started in contra costa

county graduated from berkeley and a liven deputy for you a number of years special jeff recruited me to san francisco the former elected public defender of san francisco and i began as a line department here and then asked me to be training direct and the managers of the felony unit the unit most serious case. after he passed away, i was appointed to be the public defend and electd and recently reelected. but you know what i think about what you know the story of public to the office i like to start with my parents. they come from a farming village in india and dad was the first in family to finish high school. there were a couple people in his village who saw him and encouraged his parentses to pursue studies and move in the country when i think of what public defenders dot most person thing is to see our clients so than i can hopefully realize

their full potential that is important to me and to our office and the cult usual of our office. >> you know the right to a public defender was developed in 1963 in gideon case ensuring the right to a public defender. we take this very seriously in our office. my vision is that anyone in our office should be representing the people represent the same way they want their love 1s to representd and people think if you have a public defender representing you in san francisco you will bet better than a private attorney. we will leave no stone unturned no motion unfiled and try to perform the highest level for clients >> that's fantastic >> often when people think public defenders they jump to the idea of somebody defending somebody in court your office does more than courtroom representation. >> i'm an elected public dem

felonieder i campaigned on that it is important we break the mold of what is public for our office on accomplish. fiercely defending is the core of what we do and that will never go, way. as the only elected public defender there is an elected da and sheriff in every county. in the state but one elected public defender. it is important our office pushed envelope and engage in the national and state wide and local policy that will impact community how public safety and our clients. we have local policy directors, state policy director. we are active in sacramento in trying to make the law change in order to be more humane system for our clients. we are believer in advocating for community power. we have two 501c3's in bayview

and fillmore that are be more magic under the umbrelast public defender's office. these are youth empowerment organizations that do programming throughout the summers. which back pack give, ways to kid school sflois start the school year and believe engaging youth will prevent them from become clients. and put people on the path to thrive. we have a program, end of cycle program. culturally competent social workers going to the jails and finding out what the individual needs. we'll fight for their best legal outcome in the case. and the position of trust the fifth amendment protects the conversations that our clients can have with us. we can use that to really encourage a trusting rep and telling us what they need and be frank and connect that individual with the substance

abuse or mentor or housing or employment and educational opportunities hamp that individual needs to thrive and reach their full potential. that is another piece behalf we do. 17 units across our department and you know we take collaborating across units something we try to do every tail to meet our mission, vision and values >>. a part is ensuring recidivism does not reoccur >> of course the left thing we want to see is a client to return to be a client again. we work intentionally from the moment we start representing a client with our skilled staff and other members of our team to try to figure out what is that future going to be for the client when they leave our care? >> now, some critics argue public defenders have a heavy case load. how is your office mechanicing this and what issues are most important to you. why we have a heavy case load.

unfortunately, this is a problem across the country, public defenders are not funds equal low to da offices our fund suggest 61% of the da office. and the police department has 14 time the our budget. and there is the sheriff's department and any time the entities are detaining our cloinlt in i way it is up to us to defend this is manage we are working on locally. and alsoination wide to change that. we need more staff and every wing of our office. the logo is greater than one. so we know that we need to be greater twhoon individual in the office and use our teams effectively and strategically and skillfully and put in more hours to make sure we reveal truth and make justice happen in courtrooms. greater than one also symbolizes the fact we are collaborating

with other communities organizations to try to support and help our client and move policies that will help our clients. an example of this is the pretextual stop campaign we collaborated with 110 organizations throughout the city to convince the police commission to pass the general order that stops some of the stops traffic stops for things that don't impact public safety and lead to often con41ational interactions with the police and civil yens and. we wanted to minimize that mostly the shootings we read about and the the violence of inneraction gets in car and tragic occurrence that can happen. by collaborating we can be powerful than the sheer numbers in our organization. >> sure. so you know like cities cross the country san francisco struggling with fentanyl and

homelessness, how can our office contribute to help mitigate or solve those problems? >> one thing we can do, again often times with community based organizations; is to really try and figure out how we address the demand. you know. treatment on demand. again. finding people opportunity with housing or employment opportunity. you know mitigation or just any form of counciling that helps people. move in more positive direction in a way more inviting oppose to co hearsive. now we don't have enough beds for everyone who needs that intensive treatment. contributing to staffers to get more funding for people to get treatment they need. because the reality is there will always be someone to fill the need. we work on the demand, which

evidence based there was fee of dealing with addiction will move in a more positive direction. >> then, finally, what else would you like residents of san francisco to know about you and your office? >> i think what i like the san francisco residents to know is how muchow important it is that the public defender be aggressive. right now we had a huge backlog of cases in san francisco. there were over a housand passed the last day. a right to a speedy try and have case passed the last day. we had to plaintiff and against the court t. is important this we have an independent public defend 30 is willing to do that. and we got a good decision from the court of appeal and now the courts move quick and are honoring this and the effort from policy team to 850 bryant

the courthouse is to draw attention to this issue it is important we have an aggressive public defender. had someone gets convicted for something they did not do it impacts their family. clients are greater than one, it is important we fierce low defend. the same time because when someone gets convicted of something they did not do they are less likely to access the j.w. they need for stability or housing and then will impability a lot of people and lead to more issues on the streets and affect public safety. also to realize we are a public safety organization. we have social workers and take this social worker mentality or support facilitative prop and get cloinlts to a better place. when our clients get to a better place we are all safer

>> thank you mr. raju. we appreciate the work. thank you for your interest in the development. you know i wanted to say if anyone wants to know more about a lot of the initiatives and unit in our department they can go to you tube we have a dairy defender series. and people should look at that to learn more about the different units. also we talked about the dibilltating impact of convictions we have a clean slate program exsponging hundreds of records every year. and people can go to our website sfpublicdefender. org and move their live in a positive direction >> thank you very much. >> thank you >> that's it for this episode we will be back shortly for government government i'm chris manners, t t t t t t t t t t t t

>> every one, we're going to get started. i'm going to call this meeting to order. it's february 8, 2024. we do have quorum. roll call. >> vice chair. >> here. >> member freedeboch. >> here. chair william. >> here. >> we do have quorum and i'm going to read the land acknowledgment. we acknowledge that we are on

the unceded ancestoral homeland of the ramaytush o alone land. thank you. we move to our highly anticipated item, number 2 which is our transitional youth housing fund proposal. i'll turn it over to member. >> thank you, chair williams, good morning, every one. so this is been a little a little while coming, just in terms of background. we had funding that we applied for some acquisitions to buildings and then in the youth housing fund, we ended up

getting grants through the project home key and so the fund was reimbursed. there was also some unused funds. they did an analysis of the amount of unfunding. there was basically 19.2 one-time funds of that, while 10.7 is one time 1.5 acquisition funds. and just to remind folks because of the first two years of the fund, we had the, the initiative was held up in court. we ended up still collecting the funds and they were released the third year so we have one-time funds for that. so members for the audience, that's a helpful piece there.

and so, the homeless emergency service provider associations youth committee got together and basically went through a process of checking capacity in each of the youth providers and coming up with ideas about how this money could be spent. you know, it's a little bit trickly because the one-time funds were limited. but there was some funds in there that were on going which was really beautiful which was not the case for the families. and so, the groups that gave input included the homeless youth alliance, larken street, booker t washington, third street youth, lgbt center at the crossroads, so really a broad spectrum and five-keys a broad spectrum of organizations

that provide services to unhoused youths. so the proposal, the first piece of the proposal is to have, to acquire a small site and this could look like, you know, buying a house, or a large flat, and basically create supportive housing, there were very proposal is very deliberate about trying to find something outside of the tenderloin. and that, that would be coupled with 3.7 million annually in support services at the site. so it would be a unique program with shared perm nature housing for youth that has a lot of services attached to it. and then, there is also 8 million dollars in rapid rehousing.

and this was very deliberately targeting youth that are leaving transitional housing and there is been a log jam there, where there has not been enough of the short-term subsidies. these would be three-year subsidies and funded over at 4-year period. and this is really about making sure that those exits out of transitional housing are supported. so folks are not in this revolving door where they're back to the street and back to shelter and transitional housing, so just trying to move people from there and there is also, there is also some down funding on monies from the state previously that are ending. so this state losing capacity there. and then a proposal that was really championed by third

street youth around,ing around targeting subsidies towards youth that are impacted by interpersonal violence. and it's something that they've been seeing regularly and that said at 2.7 million to serve 15 youth that, that would be 3-year subsidies. so a smaller much more targeted program but really, this is an issue that keeps oncoming up in a lot of different fronts that i think there is been a big report that came out of the homeless department around just a need for increased services for populations experiencing violence. and then the last piece, yeah that was a smaller one for 15 and larger for 60. this last piece is part of the on going expenditure and it's subsidies which is basically what they look like is local section 8 partnered with support services. so people use it in the private

market but it's different from section 8 in that it's local so you don't have the documentation barriers and other stuff that the federal government dollars has and you're very intentionally working in the support services there. so that's for 50, i keep wanting to say kids that is at 3.7 million. and that would be basically that would ramp up over to your over two-year process. that's the proposal. i just want to make some more comments, just want to note that that there is been a lot of concern, because on our last, we did this same process for families and that went out to bid which is wonderful. so the moneys went out to bid

but just a small portion went out to bid. and it was just a few million instead of the 25 million. and the way it was structured was not at all how the committee recommended. we were recommending five-year subsidies that were deep that had support services that were plentiful so that after the five years, the families can transition out. and the rfp which went out to proposal which is how fun is disbursed and organizations apply for it, had a limit of 1100 subsidy cap for rental assistance, which we don't think, we didn't think was at quad, we were thinking up to 3000. and the case management ratio is one case manager for 60 families which in the way that when you're serving families, you're serving the needs of the kids so that's 1 to 180 not that 60 was bad enough.

and one case manager to find housing for 60 families which is not the standard at all and what, what best practices or at least in san francisco, you know, 1 to 20 they're trying to move to 1 to 15 case management ratio and in the program they've been successful finding housing for folks. it looks similar 1 to 20 and 1 to 25 ratio. so we're really really concerned about that. we're not voting on that today but i'm making these comments because we're hopeful that when this money goes out, it goes out in the way that we're intending. a lot of thoughtfulness went into this and a lot of--same with the family proposal, you know, we got a lot of input from people who were personally impacted and people who are providers who are seeing what is working and what is not

working as we're trying new things. a lot of these things are new interventions and the providers is figuring out what is working well and what is not working well and really putting a lot of lot in sharing, that's the collaborative thing, sharing with this, have you tried this and that and coming together and saying, okay, based on all the experience this is so rich this is the proposal we would like to see. you wanted to make those comments as well. and i will stop there. sorry for talking so long. >> thank you, so much for all of your hard work and all the providers who put so much thoughtfulness to this proposal. we're going to open it up for public comment. >> at this time we'll take in-person public comment followed by phone public comment. members of the public who wish to provide public comment in-person, please line up at the poed um now. --podium now. each person will have two minutes to speak.

>> speaker: good morning, members. my name is marty regan i'm with street services and co-chair of the committee hespa. this proposal is all about flow in and out of the homeless response system. moving from one program to another is absolutely crucial for young people in a transitional period of their life. a well functioning means nobody stays in it forever. this well thought out proposal provides 158 unhoused youth with housing over the next three years. it's worth note thating they only dedicate 8% of their budget for transitional age youth. despite tape making 10% of the population. asylum youth and pregnant youth along as lgbt youth threatened

their well being and humanity. we need to bulk resourced to prevent these vulnerable population frz falling into homelessness and becoming our future adult population. i also want to mention that eviction protections have expired so many are bracing for nonpayment of rent for those who may have lost jobs or unplayed. --unemployed. so anything that we can keep them housed is critical especially as the mayor and other leaders is trying to pass legislation that jeopardizes housing. thank you for your proposal for these funds. >> hello members of the scoh committee.

this propose is to teens become housed. this proposal helps our youth who are dealing with unhoused, on homelessness to become housed. i speak also in the subsidies for there is a change. for the teens that are ensured enables them to pursue their passions like going back to school and work. i would also like to thank you and each member and thank you to our access point partners and lastly thank you for your continued support of unhoused clients. >> speaker: good morning, good morning, every one. my name is miguel carrera i work in the coalition of home business.

and working with the families. so why we focus on youth. so first thing i want to say why we focus on youth, i have two youths, 22 and 25. so, yes. we have so many many parents, families, homelessness, we living in shelters, living in cars in rvs in the streets and tents. we youths. with no opportunities. so we need to invest more in our youth community. our youth community, our children is the future of san francisco. it's the future of us. we already, i have a 60 years old. couple years more and i retire. but our kids and the leaders they want to take lead of the city and we have to invest in them. so i really want to ask, please

and thank you for supporting the proposal type and i really want to working together, thanks working together to pushing really hard to this many is okay for the youth. because we already passed this money last year. sxl this money that they have to keep for the youth and we need to find to make sure that every single penny is going for the house and service for the youth. thank you so much, have a good day. >> speaker: good morning, chair and members, good to see you, thanks for getting up early. i i'm jess i use he and him pronouns. i live three blocks that way. everyday i walk in the neighborhood and we have a sad situation in there are hundreds of people suffering and living and dying here on our streets

and sidewalks. and many of them are young, very young, younger than any of us in this room. and i think it's an excellent for us to spend our city's money to actually help people here. when i heard that there is 19 million dollars identified that we can spend on youth housing, i was very eager to be here this morning and tell you that's an important thing that we should do. our city has plenty of money and if we can spend this 19 million dollars to house young homeless people we should do that urgently and immediately. as a person who lives and works right around here, i can tell you that we really need t.i see a lot of people both young and very seriously ill who would be better served if they were living indoors. so please and thank you. >> speaker: hi, everybody. good morning, i'm hope, i use

she her pronouns and director of family compass service sxz chair of the provider committee. i'm here to share that the family providers are enthusiastic to support this. there is significant significant unmet need across the population, including parenting and unaccompanied youth, and transitioning youth. we hope that you can support this proposal and getting the dollars on to the street in an expedited way. thank you. >> speaker: hi everybody i'm selena i'm the organizing director of homelessness. thank you all for being here and i feel like this proposal really will help our youth especially because it 8% of the homeless budget goes towards

the youth yet 20% of the population are the youth. i also believe that the flexibility of subsidies will help the youth to be housed and i think this proposal is important to help the transitional age youth to be able to have a place to be able to go home and also those that are experiencing violence to be able to have the right necessity like resources to be able to be better. so thank you all for the members for putting together this proposal. thank you. >> speaker: hello city council, i'm not a big speaker but i'm my name is bill raulings, and i'm a member of the san francisco community.

and a proud member. and i would like to think that i, you know, put my best foot forward but i'm, i'm caught off guard by homelessness. and i know that a lot of other people are as well. and just to piggy back on what that young man was saying, that's why i rushed out and i wanted to catch him, there are so many homeless individuals out there in the community. i mean a lot of them are even protesting against, being able to you know, touch this 19 million dollars. i know that there has been some money granted because i've been told about it.

i know that even maybe i've been given that portion of it. personally. but i have yet to receive that. and it's like. just kind of given, the demographic on it, how would i, kind of question being, how do we get get a portion of this money? is it possible? or is it out of reach? for 32-year-old young man. thank you. >> if you want to leave your information here, we do have provider. >> this particular proposal is

for transitional youth, so it would not serve people outside of their 20s. however, most of the funding in homeless department goes towards adults such of yourself. so i think, i do have staff person here, mr. carrera who can chat with you after the meeting and kind of figure out what you've done so far and what possible next steps can be. yeah, thank you. >> speaker: thank you very much. >> thank you to all our public commenters. do we have anybody online? >> members of the public who wish to provide public comment over the phone, please call 415-655-0001 and enter access code 26609211728 then press

pound and pound again. if you have not done so, press star-3 to line up to speak. a system will indicate that you have raised your hand. please begin please note you will have two minutes. moderator do we have any public comments on the phone? >> speaker: hi i'm coleen director of public policy for youth. we prohave programs for former and foster youth. our goal is to help foster youth. in addition partner organization of san francisco [audio breaking up] first place provides case management for youth in order to help them the need for independence. we have served a total of 120

youth. proven a successful and investing in models like this invaluable helping with homelessness. therefore proposal before you and urge is enough. so thank you. >> speaker: hi, this is chris en evans, i'm on the homeless oversight commission but also have worked on our city our home coalition. and i wanted to thank and commend this body for working on looking at all the aspects of the funds and where the unspent money is and ensuring that the recommendations for the best use of those funds. as we know the department has prioritized ocoh plan, and it's

important that we honor, and provide not just shelter but also housing for transitional age use and families. is support the commission make ing the recommendation. thank you so much. >> for the record, there are no more in-person or over the phone public comments. >> thank you, so much ivy and thank you so much for all of our public commenters. i'm going to open it up for committee for any comments or discussion. >> i really love this proposal. i want us to encourage that hsh

and anybody else that spends this money pays attention with the subsidies to use it effectively, because it's well planned out for two-year subsidies and two-year subsidies. but if people leave earlier, there will be money and how they use that in light of the features. i think makes for affective use so i encourage that that be a part of how this money is allocated. >> thank you so much. >> member friedenboch? >> i make a motion that they adopt the recommendation that's

came from the hespa subcommittee. >> thank you member. is there a second. >> i'll second. >> seconded. >> vice chair. >> i think i have to abstain from the vote because i work on third street. >> member friedenboch. >> i don't want it to be a conflict. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> member walton. >> yes. >> chair williams. >> yes. all right so the motion passes. thank you every one! [applause] really happy we got to this point. and thank you every one for

coming out to multiple meetings to make sure this happen. as a former transitional youth myself, this is very important and honored for all the hard work. thank you. we're going to move to item number 3, our budget priorities and liason planning, and i'm happy to welcome radhika, welcome to the committee. >> good morning, can you hear me okay? okay. it's really nice to meet you all. as you know, i'm radhika, i'm the new homelessness policy specialist and, controllers office.

so before we actually dive into the details of the process, i put together some information for us just for context setting. and to that end, we'll first review the committee's priorities and values that were previously shaped by the ocoh plan. then i would like to take some time to remind us the context that is affect us all. and then the last thing, will be that we talk through the process and timeline for the committee to make its recommendations over the next several months. and i'll offer some related prompts for discussion for you all to engage in today. great. so the first priority i want to discuss today, that really again comes from the combination of the investment

plan that was put together in 2021, as well the needs assessment in 2022 that helped focus this committee's work in a dressing inequalities. there is two prominent ways that this priority shows up in our city our home funds, the first is dis aggregating by data by race and ethnicity to inform all decision making. then using the insides from the dis aggregated data to prioritize population that's are disproportionately impacted and face the greatest barriers to access housing through the existing homelessness response system. this is achieved by programs that focus investment and specific neighborhoods in san francisco as well as those that taylor services according to the population needs.

the second priority is a wider array of programs to meet diverse needs. and this is a priority of the committee that comes from a wide range of programs that meet people where they are. this is meant creating intervention that align with the various factors that contribute to homelessness. this shows up in a whole host of ways across the service areas of the fund and so it takes many different forms and this is a sort of, you know, set of examples that we've outlined for you here. for example, it can really look like meeting the specific housing needs of adults, families and transitional age youth within the housing service area and it can also look liken shoeinger system flow by paring temporary

interventions and services such as shelter and safe sweep sites and behavioral health service wz more permanent housing solutions. i'll give you all a second to adjust, i know there is a lot of context on here. that brings us to our third priority which is to prioritize permanent solution to see generate system flow. the committee has prioritized the housing first approach and recommended programs that recognize permanent housing as the solution to homelessness with low barrier and individualized services. bolstering helps create outflow and leads to better turnover and leads to house loam.

on the flip side when housing is not available beds turnover slowly and serve fewer house holds which affects the length of time and people remain homeless and therefore daned for high cost interventions also increases. in tandem the work of the committee has simultaneously prioritized interventions. through prevention programs. or those that help return folks rapidly to housing. the fourth priority by increasing funding and bringing resources to scale. the committee has set out to

prioritize ocoh funds on how to most effectively leverage of funds when needed. this again like much of these priorities shows up in many different forms across the funds. so this has really ranged from using ocoh from matching funds to fortifying federal funding for prevention resources. so this is the priorities that i wanted to have front of mind. as you know from the office

presentation, the source that funds ocoh, the receipt tax is considered highly volatile incense i have. in the last two years, revenue has come in roughly 60 million dollars under the expected amount. there is a couple of contributing factors that you have heard directly from the controllers office. the first that this is funded by a small taxpayer base. so any change has a large impact on the revenue that comes in, so it's a small pool that is really contributing to this tax space. the city has also seen high levels of litigation recently which points to the growing complexity of the tax regime but also points to the fact that i made before which is just a few pairs can have an

outside impact on the revenue outlook. so this is further impacted the amount of money that is coming into the ocoh fund. is we'll look at the forecast again, should be at least a little bit familiar from the last meeting. so the most resent projection from the fall shows that there is a pretty large delta between what was previously project asked what we now ct sort of knowing the context of what we know. in the current year alone which is fiscal year 23-24 projected revenue to come in is about 38 million dollars less than our prior projections. and the prior year fiscal year 24-25 and 25-26, there is

nearly 96 million dollars less in revenue over the two years. the 43.8 and the 52.1 million dollars there. and ask as a reminder as you saw in the most annual report most of the fund has been allocate asked we made a lot of good process in terms of implementation of programs. what that really means is that most of the fund is already carrying a lot of on going cost. so because we made such strides in implementation, there is a lot of on going costs that baked into the fund.

in march we plan to conduct a second set of liason meetings and this is meant for you be able to have a time to do a deep fiscal dive and learn all the relevant details of the budget. february is focused on program and march is focused on the fiscal side. and at the march meeting, the committee will receive updates on the updated revenue forecast

which is part of the controllers office, sort of budget process. as well as hear from departments regarding their ocoh submissions for fiscal year 24-25 and 25-26. so by the end of march, after both sets of liason meetings, the committee should have all the information and context that you all need to vessel your set of priorities. so that by april you can share the recommendations with the mayor's office with the department of public health commission and homeless oversight commission. so again just a little bit of recap programmatic deep dive coming next week so you know

where the spending is coming at the six-mark. so the implementation progress, all will have a really good sense of where we're under spend is landing and what are the implications to that to each of the fund. looking ahead to liason meetings, a couple of things that we should discuss about actually who is available and who are the other folks that would like to join these meetings.

there is a meeting that is scheduled and we don't have a liason for permanent housing and also please, express interest if you're interested in joining that meeting. then there is going to be the prevention meeting that is scheduled on february 12 at 4:00 p.m. and member preston is the liason for prevention. mental health, a bit of an update that is scheduled for february 14, at 2:30 p.m. and it sounds to me like member cunningham-dening is no longer part of the committee so that meet ising already scheduled so let's put that in the permanent housing discussion as well and how we want to tackle that.

and the next is hygiene meeting which is scheduled at february 15 at 12:30 p.m. and freedenbach is the liason for hygiene. should i go ahead and open the prompts. >> yes, let's open them up to the liason, i know i'm not available at these times. are these flexible since member cunningham is no longer with the committee. >> unfortunately this is difficult to schedule because

we want the fulle department representation and so having to work with with those folks our preference is to keep these slots. >> we have a member who resigned so we want to identify and then we can try to find a time that works. but it will have to be that week. we have our meeting on that thursday. we're trying to get the information into people's heads before them, the committee meeting. so it's just the scheduling logitics issue that we have to find. >> i have a conflict so i will not be able to join that one. i could do the permanent housing on the 14th at 4:00 if

there are other members that want to join. >> i can do the behavioral health if they can't find. it seems like they can find another one i can do behavioral health and housing one as well. >> i'm willing to participate in homeless and health. >> i've already got that. >> yeah, but it's another member. >> we don't need to. >> we can have up to four. >> oh yeah yeah yeah. >> so member friedenbach it sounds like you can join the permanent housing? >> yes. >> all right.

>> i don't know if this will impact the schedule of the liason meetings, but i need to be excused from the next meeting on the 22 and that is going to cause a non quorum, so i don't know if you want to change a liason meeting to that, i don't know how to deal with that. >> the regular meeting is february 22, and member said you're enable, we can have the committee because there is a quorum vote to excuse you. but that means at that meeting there will not be a quorum. the thing, the only voting item on the february 22 meeting is the officer elections. officer elections by bylaw has

to be at a regular meeting. so scheduling a regular meeting does not solve the need to vote on that one. all the other items are informational. but it is sort of, you know, budget updates as was shared. so there is the logitics to schedule the hearing around those items would be tricky, given that we would need additional liason meetings in march. >> thank you. >> is there any down side to pushing the officer election and approving the minutes to march meeting? >> i mean, no down sides, it would just be required to do that. it will have to wait until

there is a quorum to do any of those meetings. we can do the minutes anytime. so it will have to move into march which there is a lot on the march agenda, so we just have to be ready to go through that. >> i know we've been trying to get officer elections done since november. so do we need to approve member's absence today. >> you can do that today. do we have a quorum? >> you can do that today. i would wait until you take public comment on this item. >> sounds good. okay, do we want to move to the discussion prompts and then we'll take public comment after. >> thank you. so switching back into the content, as i mentioned, end of

february liason meetings will focus on the program side and implementation process and in march it will be an opportunity to do a fiscal deep dive with the departments. so something that we heard from departments and really want you all to get the content that you need, out of these liason meetings, we wanted to set aside some time today to really have some discussion around what it is that you all would like to learn from those meetings so that we can prepare departments accordingly and you can get the content that you're looking for. so, that's that first prompt is what would the committee like to learn from those meetings. and the second has to do with the current budget context. and so just a reminder again that we're looking at about 96

million dollars delta from the projected revenue from fiscal year 25-26 and 24-25 over the two years and general fund is projecting an 800 million dollars deficit over the same time period. so we had a chance to refresh the committee's over arching priorities that have informed the budget recommendation process in the past. so given the big fiscal challenge ahead of us, i really want you all to discuss today how that interacts with the over arching priorities and how you want to think of those as you consider all of these big challenges ahead. so those are the sort of two big prompts. >> thank you very much, i'm

going to open it up member friedenboch. >> yes, something i've been in xhaoup occasion with the controllers office staff, but it would be super helpful to know very clearly in each of the categories the on going funding that has been pro occured. so you know, like what are our commitments already are in terms of money. versus, the unallocated. so we have clarity and the other piece is the same on the one time. sol that it's very clear what is the run time by the end of

annual report, we didn't get the pro cured numbers so it made it look like there was a lot of unallocated money sitting there. but i don't think that's the, that's the case. because some of that money, for example, if on going subsidy, we have not spent the money down for the rest of the year but that's procured. so having that money is going to be helpful to know how many money we're going to have in termds of addressing the shortfall which is very alarming and trying to figure out, you know, our budget priorities which brings me to

my next over arching thing around the priorities which is i think the basic budget priorities in my kind of budget situation that i've been engaged in is really trying to protect successful programs that are moving people out of homelessness. we want to be able to do that. and in terms of what we need from the liason meetings is some measure of success, because we want to be able to see, we've been doing these investments how are they working? and so are people staying in the housing? all of that stuff, so i think that would be some basic information there would be helpful.

so those were my two broad points. >> thank you very much, member. over to member walton? >> for the february deep dive meetings, i'm interested in very specifically what this committee proposed and how the departments report back what they actually implemented and funded and numbers related to that. how many placement and temporary subsidies were issued and how many are still on the plate which i think speaks to your concept of success. but i would like to ask them to define to us how they how they identify success so we're clear on numbers what we hope for and

what is happening. so we have a real sense of activity. and then that builds into your second part which is more budget related and that is are there funds that they project will be unspent and that will be more for march even if they're pro cured and allocated. i would like them to structure their presentation based on what that committee has proposed and what they've done. so it's very clear and we don't get caught up in apples and oranges trying to figure out what they're presenting and what this committee previously approved. >> thank you so much. >> okay, for me what i would like to see in permanent housing? i would like to talk about acquisition, so what are the

plans for acquisition over the next few years. you would say that's also a budget priority. i think we've done a good job of acquiring buildings but i think we can do better and i think we can acquire more buildings. and that to me is the most sustainable plan of any other options just owning buildings and owning property, yeah. there is that, for prevention, i want to know how many people were turned away so how many people were not served. for mental health and this may go into the shelter and hygiene categories, i would like to see how we can match cal aim dollars. it's really complicated, i have tried to look into it and if somebody can break it to a five--year-old that would be helpful for me.

and for shelter and hygiene, i would like to know what the affects of rv closure are? where do people end? were people housed? did they end up back on the street? i would like to know that. and i would like to know if we closed that. did they sell the rvs? what happens to that capitol? i know they were like 7 5k each. and then some other priorities off mine, i think we just can always to better when it comes

to dv which has been very under funded for years and years and thousands of people get turned away every year. and we know with covid the rates of domestic violence got worse. and also larger family sizes so four or five, six member households. and then measuring that what does that look like. >> thank you. >> thank you vice chair. i'll just jump in and say that i would love to hear a report on pregnant people and housing and coordinated entry. streamlining that for pregnant people and women. i know we had a lot of conversation buzz this population but i have not really heard what has been happening in terms of progress, in terms of access for folks in that area. and i'll second all of what the

other members said here. and also how are we leveraging state resources? are there other pots of funding that we can leverage that we can support. it's very significant, i don't want to under fine that, this is a big deficit. this is a big big chunk of funding, member walton. >> based on things that were said, one very specific request to particular hsh is that we heard several times earlier in this meeting that 8% fwoez to tay and they represent 20% but

at different meetings, some difficulties that some are in the system and i want them to clarify how that all fits together. so that we have a sense if that covers if they're in the family. i think that would help us understand very clearly the balance that we need to adjust for. >> can we do a shout out welcome to the middle schoolers. hi. >> welcome. >> so awesome. >> 7th grade class. >> fantastic. welcome welcome. >> member preston do you have any items? >> i think a lot has been touched on. i want to hear about the scope

of the programming and the target populations and what we know about individual success in these programs. but all of the information has been very helpful and i know that's just getting a real understanding of who these programs are reaching and how we're moving people individuals into success. >> wonderful. >> i just want to add on prevention, i will not be at the meeting but the loss of the state funds and what impact did that on our overall efforts? and that was in the dhsh presentation but it's pretty significant. so i think, you know, that may be some. the thing about prevention

funds is that we can think about them one time. i still think that we're still feeling after affects of people losing their housing. with the coordinated intake for families, we saw 30% increase of new families becoming homeless. families are becoming homeless so we need to make sure that we can turn that around. there may be ways to do that with funds. i'm really concerned about the state funds because we're hearing a lot from folks that are not able to access temporary rental assistance as a preconvenience tool. >> thank you, i'm interested in

that information as well. all right, i think we'll open it up for public comment and feel free to comment if you want to. >>er members of the westbound who wish to provide public comment in-person, please line up at the podium now. each person will have two minutes to speak. at this time there are no in-person public comments. we'll now take public comment over the phone. members of the public who wish to provide public comment over the phone, please call 415-655-0001 and enter access

code 26609211728 then press pound, and pound again. if you have not already done so, dial star 3 to line up to speak. a prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. please note that you will have two minutes. moderator, do we have any over the phone public comments? >> speaker: hi, this is kristin evans with the homeless oversight commission. i looked at the ocoh website in terms of unspent and allocated dollars. you know, the information that is available to the public is very limited at this stage, at this point, you can see the annual report that shows that there is over 400 million unspent money in the fund. so to have this conversation

about such a shortfall, really premature without having greater clarity about the buckets of funding that have been allocated but unspent as well as those unallocated. so i would ask and reiterate what commissioner, committee member friedboch can ask for, up-to-date, realtime data of what has been sent, what has been allocated and unspent and what has been unallocated. because we cannot make decisions with the limited information that we have at our fingertips today. thanks. >> moderator are there anymore over the phone public comments? ford record, there are no more

over the phone public comment. >> there is one in-person, public comment i believe. >> members of the public who wish to provide public comment in-person, please line up at the podium now. >> speaker: my name is jason young, i just have a couple of questions, how would community members such as myself go about getting more information for these liason meetings? in regards to like, you know, this particular issue because i see like a lot of people like myself that are not as well versed some of the things and the funding and the priorities and focus as to what is going on with this particular issue. and i think that's important because if you don't know, you

don't hear about it, you don't know about t you just come and go. i think that will be important. thank you. >> thank you so much. and we, >> speaker: thank you, i just wanted to say the same thing he said. we work a lot, day in and day out with our a lot of our youth. i'm at u.s. f, i'm at the school district. we do tons of things but we want to figure out how to be part of these meetings. is to i'm going to say this personal story. there was a young man, i showed up to amen's group, he came and he he didn't have no place to g.a younger kid coming from

l.a. got into trouble trying to figure out situations. i let him stay at my house. these meetings, we would love to participate and see what we can bring to the table to help out our youth. >> do you have a couple of meetings after this meeting ends, i can walk you through some of the way to see get involved. >> yes, ma'am. >> thank you so much. >> yeah, we can use your help. >> thank you, i appreciate your work. >> speaker: i'm sorry i was too slow to responding to your comments.

miguel carrera from the coalition of homelessness. i hear each of you guys presenting different issues. and i one thing i was putting more attention when julia and, ms. williams staying talking about the domestic violence. why i bringing to my attention. so i have the city don't put enough attention but don't put enough resources to women's partners number 1.

which they stay in private places so all of these families, all of these families, the city, i don't know how phones but they blame, because they don't see in this families. specific money for these women pregnant and these families who suffer domestic violence. i don't think how many numbers of families suffer domestic violence. i would love to see something like that.

these families need to have housing. we need to find places. sorry. it's very important for them. >> thank you. thank you for your comment. >> hello i'm jessica hernandez i work for the coalition of homelessness. i just want to speak an important issue you all know about the issue of not having enough resources for anyone. especially for housing. i can tell you that i'm working with a lot of client and as of now, i have no success getting anybody into the housing, the for everything is oh there is not enough resources. and you guys mentioned that there is a lot of unallocated money there is one that has not been used. why hasn't that money been used?

why is the family suppose to wait a lot of time experiencing a lost trauma until this money is allocated. i have an example, there is a huge case about a baby needs that needs housing asap, he's in the hospital with heart disease and all i got, oh there is not enough resources. and because there is not enough resources there is no place to put him. why should we wait? we need this money to be allocated serving the community as it should and also touching the area, i work with families in rvs. and we are working in solutions, we're working on putting them in a safe parking site in the same time, we can put them into housing. so we can assess as much people as we can. i can go out there and spend

hours but when i come back with this, oh sos, there is not enough resources. there is nothing to provide. so i urge you guys to a lo date this money, put it into use and don't let it just sit there because there is families waiting for it. families that need it right now. it's important, thank you. >> thank you so much to our commenter. any other public comment? >> that concludes our public comment section. >> and thank you to the committee for your recommendations, that we're in. i know there is additional information that needs to be brought to have a more ro dust position about what our priorities are going to be.

i really appreciate everything weighing in the liason meeting. and we're going to move to item number 4, future items. >> i want to mention one that has been on the docket for while is the housing authority. >> actually we do have them on the schedule. >> we're going to push them out because march is pretty crowded but they did respond that they were willing to come. >> and as a reminder, we wanted them to come and address homelessness. so looking at their annual plan

and including the vouchers and emergency housing vouchers, like we would really like to figure out how to collaborate better. and making sure that folks are prioritized for those housing resources. >> i was going to say some clarity with the stock. it needs to be addressed in order for to be quality housing. >> that found a unit, got the

inspection, were approved through housing authority and were just told that the section 8 vouchers were being pulled away and moved over to but it was a torturous situation they were able to move in and got the vouchers pulled. it was really really upsetting. talking about what jesse is saying, a lot of communities are saying, a lot working on trust from the family's

perspective; the person they're working with is not the person in the authority it's the person right in front of them. the providers, it's a set up for the providers and it's a set up for the family. that was really, some legal decision came in and that's why they changed it. that was really really not okay, yeah. >> all right, i had two other things on that. just brad too and what other, if there is still, are they still developing any rad? are they still carrying down any units? okay, so i would like more information on that and then prevention, i know a few years ago, we had a domestic violence provider come speak and they were saying there needs to be more focus on domestic violence in public housing and prevention from them entering homelessness, that's another area of prevention. >> that's great.

>> did you want to to a motion to excuse member? >> yes. >> i move to support member preston from missing the february, the march, february meeting, sorry. >> no worries. >> it's been moved by member walton and seconded by member freeden boch. we'll take roll. oh public comment. >> so for this last agenda item, members of the public who would like to provide public comment, please line up at the podium now. each person will have two minutes to speak. members of the public who wish to provide public comment over the phone, please call and

access 26609211728 then press pound and then pound again. if you have not done so, dial star-3 to line up to speak. please wait until the system indicates that you've been unmuted and you can begin your comments. please note that you have 3 minutes. --2 minutes. moderaters, do we have any over the phone public comment? for the record, there are no over the phone public comment. that concludes our agenda. >> so we'll now move to a vote on excused absence. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> member walton. >> yes. >> chair williams. >> yes. >> yes. >> and we now move to adjournment. is there a motion to adjournment. >> motion to adjourn. >> moved and second. >> vice chair. >> yes.
