11:03 pm
our bodies. we shouldn't have to explain what it is we need when it comes to any health decision thereby protected and the fact we have to now fight against policies that provide technical detailed around what you can and cannot it is really offense and it is our bodies it is our choice and we should be able to make any decision we need to and we shouldn't have to talk about whether or not in raise or inner safety net arrest this and that not part of the excavation i'm proud no, when rodeo wade was overturned 2 years our director of the commission on the status of women kimberly through the vision leadership created the bayview adoption rights coalition as a way - we figured
11:04 pm

11:05 pm
nicole stated but more importantly it can't be a conversation that we have at the board of supervisors. this can't just think or be an ordinance we have to demonstrate with the voters of san francisco what our values are and how we'll continue as a city to fight against any injustice that reproductive rights health and freedom will continue to be protected in the city in whatever way possible one of the things i want to touch on we have two of those crises pregnant centers in our city that have been to women and efficient when you're going to said what all your options you're told like you'll go to hell if i get an abortion we don't need people telling someone we don't know what they're going drove and what it
11:06 pm
leads to the fact up and coming those kinds of centers exist and people are not aware of what they are when they're walking into the doors another reason we need to make sure that signage is appropriate and make sure that that we are using every resource san francisco has to protect reproductive rights in any way, shape, or form and so that's what had ballot measure represents and the reproductive rights act will do a couple of things declare a policy of the city for the comprehensive reproductive rights freedom and require our department of public health and dr. colfax the director be located here today to provide public library information where people can access repulsive services including the city supported clinics all over san francisco and prohibit the use of the city

11:23 pm
$20 million of millions people across the united states and i think about the helpers and that i wake up in california and in san francisco we have leaders that understand that access to deposition is healthcare and that the ability to have the autonomy it critical for the individual our families and community health and well-being so the central access we're proud to establish with a coalition partner and leaders with new grant programs to protect and providing funding for partnered hood and other key partners to make sure that anyone in need of adoption care whether you live in san francisco or california or other states can come to san francisco and the funding is not enough. so we have to make sure we can
11:24 pm
continue to booster the resources to expand the access. so across the country continues to impact really cruel and callous measures it restrict access to essentially healthcare and body autonomy in san francisco o in california and san francisco we have an obligation and responsibility to every tool to use it to stand healthcare and this measure introduced and built on it san francisco long history of taking bold action in support of justice a unique model for other jurisdictions to adopt and building on san francisco leadership as the leaders and we urge san francisco to stand up for san francisco values in support of this measure and we also thank mayor london breed for her leadership bringing this

and losing everything, the red cross gave us a list of agencies in the city to reach out to and i signed up for the below-market rate program. i got my certificate and started applying and won the housing lottery. [♪♪♪] >> the current lottery program began in 2016. but there have been lot rows that have happened for affordable housing in the city for much longer than that. it was -- there was no standard practice. for non-profit organizations that were providing affordable housing with low in the city, they all did their lotteries on their own. private developers that include in their buildings affordable units, those are the city we've
11:51 pm
been monitoring for some time since 1992. we did it with something like this. where people were given circus tickets. we game into 291st century in 2016 and started doing electronic lotteries. at the same time, we started electronic applications systems. called dalia. the lottery is completely free. you can apply two ways. you can submit a paper application, which you can download from the listing itself. if you apply online, it will take five minutes. you can make it easier creating an account. to get to dalia, you log on to housing.sfgov.org. >> i have lived in san francisco for almost 42 years. i was born here in the hayes
11:52 pm
valley. >> i applied for the san francisco affordable housing lottery three times. >> since 2016, we've had about 265 electronic lotteries and almost 2,000 people have got their home through the lottery system. if you go into the listing, you can actually just press lottery results and you put in your lottery number and it will tell you exactly how you ranked. >> for some people, signing up for it was going to be a challenge. there is a digital divide here and especially when you are trying to help low and very low income people. so we began providing digital assistance for folks to go in and get help. >> along with the income and the residency requirements, we also required someone who is trying to buy the home to be a first
11:53 pm
time home buyer and there's also an educational component that consists of an orientation that they need to attend, a first-time home buyer workshop and a one-on-one counseling session with the housing councilor. >> sometimes we have to go through 10 applicants before they shouldn't be discouraged if they have a low lottery number. they still might get a value for an available, affordable housing unit. >> we have a variety of lottery programs. the four that you will most often see are what we call c.o.p., the certificate of preference program, the dthp which is the displaced penance housing preference program. the neighborhood resident housing program and the live worth preference. >> i moved in my new home
11:54 pm
february 25th and 2019. the neighborhood preference program really helped me achieve that goal and that dream was with eventually wind up staying in san francisco. >> the next steps, after finding out how well you did in the lottery and especially if you ranked really well you will be contacted by the leasing agent. you have to submit those document and income and asset qualify and you have to pass the credit and rental screening and the background and when you qualify for the unit, you can chose the unit and hopefully sign that lease. all city sponsored affordable housing comes through the system and has an electronic lottery. every week there's a listing on dalia. something that people can apply for. >> it's a bit hard to predict how long it will take for someone to be able to move into a unit. let's say the lottery has
11:55 pm
happened. several factors go into that and mainly how many units are in the project, right. and how well you ranked and what preference bucket you were in. >> this particular building was brand new and really this is the one that i wanted out of everything i applied for. in my mind, i was like how am i going to win this? i did and when you get that notice that you won, it's like at first, it's surreal and you don't believe it and it sinks in, yeah, it happened. >> some of our buildings are pretty spectacular. they have key less entry now. they have a court yard where they play movies during the weekends, they have another master kitchen and space where people can throw parties. >> mayor breed has a plan for over 10,000 new units between now and 2025.
11:56 pm
we will start construction on about 2,000 new units just in 2020. >> we also have a very big portfolio like over 25,000 units across the city. and life happens to people. people move. so we have a very large number of rerentals and resales of units every year. >> best thing about working for the affordable housing program is that we know that we're making a difference and we actually see that difference on a day-to-day basis. >> being back in the neighborhood i grew up in, it's a wonderful experience. >> it's a long process to get through. well worth it when you get to the other side. i could not be happier.
