>> sounds good. i'm tonya lediju i'm the ceo authority for the city of san francisco. and i'm choosing to come down and face the board this morning as we talk about the transformati authority and where we have been and >> i like to talk about the progress that has been made toward accomplishing the transificati and the transformation of our housing authority in and my role as the city auditor in the controller's office with the team i conducted an assessment q) management control, control

systems and staffing and provide recommendations for correction of organizational weaknesses. in 2019, shortly thereafter the u.s. department of husbanding quality assurance division conducted a financiaagement review and management operation's review. the 2019 report in issuance of hud's march 7, 2019 le finding the authority was in breech of contracts with hud for section 8 and public housing programs along with the fact the housing authority was in short fall. >> and so -- as i came on board, as a city employee to help realize the large are goals of the it relates to housing, we were in an determining how we could default. for the authority. and -- wha agreed to was to become an over site body of the housing authority.

and that the mou would also help with out sourcing would help d resource as we went forward in thekg transformation of the work. >> so what we began to do is actions that were identified in the hud 2019qud report. and i like to say we have largely actually resolved the findings with a couple that are m that we are still working on as iull transformation of the housing authority. housing authority has been received technicafrom hud consultants who are here today. to assist authority in the ability to reach the of the transformation of the restructuring of all of our assets. and real iegz the goal of the housing authority become an

asset manager versus is responsible for property so we continue down that roads. and the city full filled the assumptions of the authority's nancial functions of the program and the public housing program by app the transition team lead and later as the coe authority. and as the city really essential i'm wearing two hat helping the city realize the larger goals of the affordable housing side at the same time working diligently each day with the authority and all of our and contractors to ensure we fulfill the roles and responsibilities as mandated by7 fundser hud. and as move forward in this work one of the great things the c on we had a transition team. part of that transition team brought financial resource meaning individualings who were

financial compm tenting financial statements understanding financial transactions and the work need in the putting control in our system so[= stable as a housing organization. and as you know our cfo presented before the board the different controls that have been put in place. we have seen the value of that work.oday in its ability to understand where it is at any given time from a financial perspective. >> one of the things that as we ha there are growing, transition transformation pains have experienced. our strides moving forward in this work. some things i would like to share the past year an increase of volume of financial

transactions. required close out of 4 public housing asset manager used to complete the rehab of 650 units.ing 16 million result in the unsuburban volume of transactions during year end for fiscal min layoffs. of 90 staff during fiscal 22. which have a direct impact on the finance department's ability to complete the financial closing entries year in reconciliations and this added financial transaction in our fiscal year 12 then impacts. pandemic had an impactl on the authority and the entire nation in 2021-22.impacting our communities. during this period, the authority with other city

departments provided services to our under served communities in san francisco. thatnhanced safety food sustaina addressed other needs. which placed stress on the resources and operations of the authority. because we were doing all of this work to ensure our residents along with all si county of san francisco were stable during an unstable time. the pandemic. >> authority neighborhood the emergency voucher program where the harris/biden administration provide emergency housing

so we addressed individual lean unhoused in collaborat with continuium care in the homeless t department mandated by hud added extrawh were stretched with resource. so. as it related to our work and the increase the upon 70% increase in min transactions with the assistance from our external financialy's finance team worked to complete the financial closing processes. and provide an updatedj financial odd tors as corrected entries were identifyd and processedess was impacted. s and this work that i speak about as it relates to submitting needed change in our financial schedule system no different than what we do every year.the increase of transactions

by really stretched us far greater than was. with all of the circumstances and ambitious housing conversion of sunny sdpael potrero and new role as contract managers and also losing resources in the form of the layoff of authority staff transition the administration of the programs to the third party contractors; all this was happening at the sametime. with that there have been growing pains asorward to commroeth the agency. with that said i discuss how this affected hu assessment prosecute of the authority for our fiscal year 22. the public housing assessment system which is known as hud scoring system upon for the annual assessment of public housing across the nation. the scores public housing

assessment system is based on 4 areas. one is physical condition. financial condition. operations and the capitol fund program. and i designations. high which is 90 points and above am standa and 90 points and troubled is less than 60ts. this designation is done on the housing structures. and that world. on may 17th 2024 hud sent scored 55 points on for fiscal 2022 the challenge this is lead to designation as i not as severe as those that lead to the authority's 2019 default and troubled status. in other words, what i'm stating is that there is no material impact to theeauthority.

there is no material impact to residentses that we serve and to the leasing plan we have broughth before this board for 2023. we will our leasing plan of issuing over a thousand housing choice vouchers and issuing over 700 project based vouchers. we'll continue thatr is no material impact to any of our developers. we will continue our relationships with our continue to receive our subsidy as hud and will pay our a su contracts. so the issues that again to the fy22 score and designation is not material. authority makes steady progress in conversions from public housing to the voucher system proactively make significant and augmented

[inaudible] rent in ambitious project in collaboration with the city andur partners. we are xat body thatwork. again, it is real iegz the large housing goals and affordable housing goals of the city and county of san francisco for our residents the city san francisco housing authorityins financially stable and able to participate in this as intended. in 17th letter. our authority letter acknowledged this its lol office are hud local office does not expect that the operations will be impacted. and that this is a designation. so for 2023, which come out in october/november in the last of the year, we expect a designation of standard. hud also concluded the jections indicate

again that likely to be a standard performer for 2023 score and how do we know that is buzz talked about i70% for officials the transactions exited friday potrero and the many things that happened during the pandemic and the many expenditures on that weincured. and we are back if to our normal stabilization with consider normal transactions for ph a size. additionally more important low for submitted our financial statement by the designated time of june 30. we have met thosements that have created this [ i'd like

to say my goals as the ceo ishe housing authority that we run that this agency has the best housing choice vouch are program in california and in the nation. has provide again the expertise to do this. by providing the consult apts that are working with us today. and we are also moving forward with the fair class to rad with the city which is fundsamential and meeting the large are goals of the city. with that, i'm to introduce our first pick consultant. before i do th i want to reminds the board because i thank you is really important.

where i came before you months ago regarding plaza east which have two public housing developments. east and north beach. we are doing a significant amount of work in that development. we have beyond the annual subsidy, we are adding 9.2 million dollars along with the city to which plaza east to condition moving it forward and stabilizing plaza east and then for year 2024, which we the housing authority will soon beinto we'll add an additional more than 1 million dollars along with continuing to ensure we pay to the funds are not used from the 2.2 million dollars. as we know and as i shared,

insurance has sky rocketed across the nation. our insurance bill for plaza is hefty. and so again to minimrations of plaza, the authority i going to continue to pay those bince. along with that as i share leasing plan we are adding 60 million dolla for this year along with another 477 million dollars subsidy for -- projectas b vouchers. overnight last 3 years if 2021 including when we'll do in this calendaryear we have over 4 half we have over 800 million dollars if project that out for 20 years 804 years for that which we -- are for today.

for hap contract we have over 750 million dollars over 20 years for the last 3 years including what we projected for this year. i say that you will to say that we arehealthy. we take our ding deseers move forward and -- the great news about the work that we aring doing and the designation is we don't have a material impact. as we had saw in 2019. i'd like to turn overand ask if we allow first pick to present and then ask questions of all of us that you might have. thank you.

pleasure to be here andhonor, frankly. the transformation that tonya talked about is epic.sing the reason why i say this is because i had [inaudible] to say that. i started with theepartment in 1987. in 88 the congress issued a report the national commission on distressed public housing a watershed moment for the admitting that our portfolio of 1.2 million units a portion was distressed. under main tained. undemanaged. . something had to happen to fix thaton of the public housing program from 1937 to 88. that was hope 6. you as the boa the recipient of a hope 6 grant for north beach and plaza.

and if north beach is an transformation i went 25 years and was impressed by th this property was managed and up kept over the lastyears. that's the [inaudible]. so time at hud was the hope 6 director and t assistand secretary for all of hud's public housing andrams before i retired. i'm fascinated by what happened here in san francisco because you have taken a significant step on transform your portfolio. we my partner david and have come here to be a touch stone to our own careers to see this transformation complete. in a way that it was hopefully designed to be done as part of hope 6. i remember henry cisneros was secretary of hud at time. me went to the meeting with the

first 20 agencies and offered them a suggestion. he said if huit to do over again would you dot same thing?lop and private

property managers and over see their work that of the transformation that you are in now. and unfortunately tonya mentioned, that have become troublesome you guys weathered that storm is time to finish off transformation. so the transformation dave for two weeks and it will need authority, developers and thew- city. so one of the things wehe tonya with and the board to talk about how to distribute the new resource in ways that strengthen the over sight section 8 right? because what was here 20 years housing is now project based section 8. mechanisms for rung the two programs are different. it wil require transformation of the administrative aspects housing authority does its job temperature is not easy.

itted. of there are, lot of moving and i had i can help. so i was of the 50 most important people at hud in the f 50 years. only because in my view we thought outside box. we gave latitude to housing authority who is had been this this stricter under funds world. for over 60 years. i got example in my career of successful transformations atlanta took 12,000 unit in 1988 and converted to 14 upon,000 units privately owned section 8.kéey transformed the process internal low new role chshgs is over site role we will are here gratifyed be here because it will help my own

career after 35 years with hud.ry of the public housing begin nothing 19 upon 37 to the day. this period of mark something significant. the history of the program and francisco will be a positive part of that. i will turn it over to dave toyed talk about the details. good morning. board presirs. a pleasure to be here. i'm dave former secretary for the assessment center. i spent 30 glorious federal government now red. 24 years inoth public housing and the to responses to the

there are some things that get lost in the sh my background is in financial ma i'm licensed [inaudible]. i am a former i understand the importance of the programs. how it helps families in times of need.wa this is critical for me as i worked througho come here to work with you. this housing agency is for a billion dollars entity. that's like sp500 company this is huge endeavour you manage as a board. the expertise required is

tremendous. something strong working on your behalf. we are here hud field office they pay and asked you to come in and help. we near contact colleagues at the field office in terms of when wee to do. i want to talk about a couple things the very first is this issue with the financial reporting to hud.n5 ghee all of th years ago i want to explain why that the way that letter reads if you don't see you!á statements in the federal

government's requirement. a late filature if you can't do th nothing else matters. that happen in the not that your properties did not pass muster because they dom it is the fact that the financial statements were not submitted within 9 months. make sure submitt statements and they did. submitted the financial statement it is by 6:30. that problem has been cured that failure has been cured you

not see that or should not ine. i want to read theg# office of public housing does not expect that the operations will be impacted by the ary trouble designation. indica likely score. and just ke going here. important development deals and completion are not impacted by a destination for 22 that will go

away shortly issues is scores and sfaft there has been new inspections your plaza east property improved based on funding that you provided to he property. from 42 in 20 a 59 in 23. upper close to the property ? pagsz. north beach as much really nice property. it brings update score above. you are good and that will be 80% of the score. it is safe to say it is on target in terms thing i want to convey this is important. inner conversation for the field office there are a couple of concerns i want us to keep an eye of they said thehority in the city invested funds of plaza east for maintenance and repair it is the understanding

the authority will million in the city additional two to plaza eastúe need this is should have an impact on the scores of plaza each past of did an assessment and the technical came up with a plan. we contractors there. we did believe something 13 site visits. a couple we toured the property in there. the housing authority finance people and people. and reviewed our conclusions there in there, we talked to the field concerned about, one, making

sure the sunny valley transformation gets done. they were making sure that approval from the special center given permission providing amount of section 8 vouch are funding. thing they want us toay attention to is the second report that they did on sxrael potrero they had findings 125 they pu detailed plan to get past that contractors that do that. going back to plaza east. your auditor report iw if you have it i assume? 23 it is a growing concern when

an auditor is i concern than i say the way things are going now this may not continue unless you make changes to the operations of the. property. when i locked at financial statements for a couple things came out. is no reserves. in real estate you have your collect the rent. pay expenses and save a little rny funds for the future there is no rainy fund in plaza eas 9f that is a prp problem. the money you get from hud and the rent. i made certainortion i was you know --

ay what the lovelies you make that collection between the two you can make the property work if you mean don't collect part of that the rents from the tenants you start getting in serious trouble. ability to collect rent andease is critical to the success of the programs. we will do work on plaza east in tef potential ways to improve that score in thef this nature. it will require assistance from the board and the city in terms of the enforcement. one of the properties we locked at 1101 connecticut a 3 year old property. you know that is a new property. now the housing agency provides vouchers the on site daily operators of the property.

after 3 years you start seeing some i will call it in other words it is -- what will happen in 7-10 years if you not able to do what you need to do. so that will be very operational will be critical. to maintain that property you bring in right? thing we did in sunny valley component is the special application center piece was the expanded program over site. the housing authority has a good framework for the section 8 program. needs additional or needs qb some expansion oversight. when i talk about expansion we develop a plan agency to do the quality assurance vendors as it relate tos the files they put together. going back

to the needs of the agency impacts the financialz of the properties. it prevents or helps with damage. unit is damaged and you are able to enforce the components of the lease, you are able to minimize the damage. as an impact because the less the properties are lease enforcement the more cherry pick of tenants. if you for example sent 100 properties

for whatever you know 50 or 60 units you have and they --oendz pick when they want rather than followhe housing authorities plan. so where as say we will not look at credit reports. if you are not able to enforce seen this nationwide not just to cherry pick and follow your rules. and the third impact on section 8 score figure you don't collect rent or enforce leases [inaudible] will suffer. that's the extent of my comments here and i will turn it back to doctor lediju in case there are questions. >> i have one. when you speak about plaza east and the reserves. normally they have reserves all of the sudden they don't have reserves which puts them in a bad space.

why is it due to tenant's all the tenants not paying rent? how come there reserves? i don't understand. you usually have you don't have reserves why is that? not paying rent or -- from when i saw there was a lot of uncollected rent. on financials and i can tell you if the property not maintained if the design of the property is not adequate and in this property, the design of property is parthy you have low scores you can [inaudible] the backyards of the issues with the plumb nothing that property. that nksz your maintenance costs. you have revenues down and expense going up reserves disappear they are utilized. >> due to maintenance. >> yes. >> okay.

any additional questions? anything to >> what i want to thank you both for being present today. and proproviding the perspective and nationalwu perspective on positioning of the san francisco authority. one element that we discussed in r briefings -- around the nature of partnership that is

raised as we have had transitions and bumps along the way. shifting contractors. capacity issues. among contrac we as an authority can lean in nership approach and aline am with the approach for pursheur suing investment and . that help us do so much you mentioned, we are two combrms the transformation we seek to complete for the authority. and as you mentioned it is quite an achieve that lediju has been pursuing. i'm having to snep more fuely post default issue.

housing authority and resources and this brings to bear to ensure we work with each other andn's impacts for our individual properties and thetners manage them on a daily basis. fromów heads sounds like both reinforcing the have made and claire fighting the direction we need totinue moving in. again, that support and partnership helping us identify how to strengthen update partnerships today will be of strong interests to me and i in conversations we had as a

commission and also seeing how we further the investment it is in plaza east an example. conversations we have with the city around not only is the housing authority bring new investment dollars to bear alcohol be future date for plaza east and the city el departments making investments like the one i the top of the meeting something like community and show willing is city support for what is seen a forgotten neighborhood or public housing site. and our instengz this is in the the narrative. this ise the experience. of tenants at any of our think well is an alignment opportunity for you to make sur take a leadership to posi spectacle the city lead and coordinate nothing is falling through the cracks as we continue this transition to a one cityapproach.

up until 6 program was envisioned housing authori island to themselves. the city did not their responsibility. federal government said this is your city. you need to take responsibility. and until the hope 6 said, this new transformation will involve relationships. relationships with city tenant. all these playersly had not been part of the world. but we ush that. the responsibility of a housing authorit is about partnerships the better partners the better management better you be in the long run. so it relationships matter here. they matter in the city and to the but i want to say from my experience what isutting the housing authority as the center of the activity. the housing authority owns the

land. our original hope 6 deals fraught with a lot of concern about selling off public housing. our answer to that was do a long-term land lease and take advantage of tax credits thvelopers use to dot transformation or and lease the land. weked about this reasonable that our

conversations with hud i pursuit rad was leadership of the lee with strong support from mayor breed of housing at the time lee was coordinated as one body to hospital g of realizing the rad transformation that d 3,000 units. and moving in the new partnership. absolutely. it is delicate balance and tension held for all of you to move in the same direction. alignment with that conversation in terms where we want to go as a city of san francisco. and drawing o resources we broing it bear to support the tenants and putting the f in our conversations. >> any additional comments from lediju or commissioners i want to say, thank you to the hud. for make you available. your experience and history and involve am in the programs has

been relevant for us. so we can see the layers detail necessary to be ash tuned to which we know what is a ern. you mentiond and what is not a concerresolved so we focus on the other issues that we tackle. just a big thank you to the 2 of you making serious time with us. anything= from you tou again. i relish the opportunity to have seasoned, mature, professionals retired and have been the short time we have been together, very valuable and i look forward to nd helping us continue the transformation as designed. many years ago before i came on board. i'd like to thank the board

[inaudible] for theity. today i will cover the 9 months 30. 2024. and at this stage my focus will mainly be on the y end forecast column for each stark with the housing choice voucher program. the admin subsidy revenue. wases in line. with the budget of we were insure by son for that is the. we will.n continue to get [inaudible] for the [inaudible] park discount of the year and those numbers will cover short fall you will see now. but it is too hard to forecast when we did include in the

forecast and updated it it came to this we did update the new admin rate that were published a3% increase. and increasedhe operation that went from 89 and a half % we included in the forecast p. up to 91%.tion the yeesh end forecast for admin fee revenue increased by 600,000. i will move to operating expense. on the operating expense front, as tonya talked about we have infrastructure upgrade now we have budgeted 1.5 million. at allocate across housing choice8voucher.

we anticipate tha increase in allocation about moving on to emergency housing voucher. as you see we did the same thing the admin 3 rate 3% for each of the leases that went on to the emergency housing voucher. forecast we had for the emergency housing vouchers for the remarndz of the year that lead to an increase of about 190,000. the admin fee subsidy fee revenuee got from hud.

>> on the obviously the expense increase in the admin fee and those increases in the and [inaudpense are in the cocc [inaudible] revenue.it is a wash. but other than expenses are in line with what we forecasted. this weredget.5o moving on to the central office call center. the revenue is what i bodies increase in fee expenses. now capped in the revenue. t [inaudible] fee revenue. the expense increase by 267,000 the revenue by 267,000. we have an increase there. most o approved budget

there is ancillary revenue. on the expense front. will decline. as relate said the employees and increases come to fruition. again, we talked about the infrastructureat anticipateed go up. budgeted. included in the forecast. the hope 6 program. this is the property for plaza east and north beach. on this front, the subsidies this we get from hud is transferred to the properties for them to cover the expense. additional 730,000 we gave them last we're expenses

that were on the apa team. report. we gave them monies to cover insurance costs. so far for q1 and given them 400,000 insurance. for plaza next is public housing. on the public hughesing is machine theis set to pay off the pension liability and with draw that money as expense in due. about the investment program fweel to greater detail. >> a quick pause what is the outstanding exposure we have around the pension payments we have to make? >> there are two on

pension liability for the [inaudible] people what we have been talking to 14 million as of 9. 30. keep inspect mind we values and have not discuss third degree a pension liability for the current employees. of right that number is 234 million. >> next is the mod program. what you see is what you get. sorry. same as the next mainstream. the revenues and expense are very sporadic. >> great comment, hi a question for you. thank you for the i had a chance, thank you for giving me points i reviewed them.

detail in a bit. so this is a long question. and i'm trying to piece things together you increase to the admin fee. >> correct.and that there have been a lot of changes to the housing authority overnight last several years, which is really have been been necessary and has been a lot of great work that has been done. and part of that and included in know there have been pivot necessary reduction in staffing. so. is there a the addition of admin fee? with the ability.

when we talk about having resources to be able to understanding of -- housing authority at our policy level? se admin fees go towards -- of the foundational -- structure needed? talk about staffing for instance pe hard really long for periods of time that is not to be able to ask female work in that manner and so -- the ways to address that. there are ways to a tech logically and policy changes. and procedure changes and other components. will the that or is that a different fitted or way to build a foundation? r all question.

yes. the admin fee that we get which is through the increase we talked about will cover the expense for each therams. of different are going to deliver is more ational efficiency across the board in finance. in finance we taking on we lost people in finance due to reduction and cost am so we looked at stream lining to over come. z?thedeficits. the majority of the reduction and i will tonya speak to this. >> thank you. commissioner k for that question. acknowledge so some of the fees staffing and t fees end up on the

contractor side as well. tell be a conversation weville ga what where are the fees going? andforth. because some of the fees are also connected to our contractors work.

yes. one of the tasks one of the thirpgs that will be happening with first kick is when you are talking about. is having enough staffing adding additional staffing. they were talking about this today without me as we prepared for thisme give me an additional thing to about that is one recommendation. we do know we need to strengthen our ability to do right that is the goals that we endover meet as we continue to work with first and train staff to understand how to doient low. and it was the w this we

ut doing when we came but we really need to have enough staff to do that. strengthen our ain't to do it. have the upon appropriate training and that work will be durnd their leadership with us. >> upon one more to this. just in consideration of earlier comments when it making new resource allocations, we in if the context of what does a 73 approach look like? where dot resource make the moste to be allocated. that is an outstanding question we have to delve into. >> okay and i think our last slide is the summary of all the different programs we ran. and -- you know keep in mind leading because i want to make sure the monies

we have are restricted to the programs. can only be spent on those programs it is in the a free for all. this is a final slide. >> yes >> just in relationship to vouch are management and vouch are budget allocations and authority we have, i know this some new questions will b raised based on conversations around upon a j) funding resource to rad and other developments. when we see or have i discussion about t allocations, those available budgets for us. will we do this ince of house something will we have a presentation h clarity on that? is it happening soon within a quarter or two? i'm curious about that. >> so for [inaudible] to rad it designated based on discussions it is a 10 year plan

for the 3667 have been doing on staff and joe does that work we are forecasting an working along with hud in our budget tool. two year budget tool so we s two years what the budget look like and estimation. we are working with hud the team we work with in projecting out potential low what will our reserves be year over year?hing i like it protect is not getting in where we have a wait list and people on their for many years. and so we have to end the fair [inaudible] to rad portfolio andbring

parking need to be open to the sky, without obstructions, like canopies, roofs or cables and should always be clear of tables chairs planters and other furnishings. emergency responders need to use ladders to reach windows and roofs to buildings and the ladders need unobstructed overhead clearance and room to be placed at a against the building. clearances needed around the ladders to move equipmt and people safely up and down. so not all parklets can have roofs askop width of the sidewalk in your area. please make sure that your electric cables are hung so they are out of the way and (indiscernible) to the structure, they can be pulled down by cable connections need to be powered from an outdoor reciprocal in the building facade because hard wire connections are much more difficult to disconnect quickly.es to the shared spaces program will ensure safety and accessibility for
