finding the authority was in ofr 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 of the city as it relates toó we could cure e in an mou and the default. foeand -- what the city had agr to was body of the housing authority. and that the mou would also help with out sourcing would help provide needed resource as we went forward in the transformation of thek. >> so, what we do is

implement all correct ever actions that were identified in the hud report. and i like to say we have largely actually resolved the findings with a couple that are more long are term that we are still worng os it relates to the full transformation auth. the housing authority received technical assistance from hud here today. to assist authority completion of the transformation of the ■q]d assets. and real iegz t goal of the housing authority become an asset manager versus one who is responsible for■3■e property management. so we continue doroads.

and the city full filled the assumptions of the authority's financial functions of the program and the public hou me a transition team lead and later as the coe of the authority. and as the city employee, it is really essential i'mearing hat its has been a privilege of helping the city realize the larger goals of the affordable working diligently each day with our staff and contractors to ensure we fulfill the requirements and roles and responsibilities as mandated by our fundser, hud. a great things the city did when i came on, we had a transition team. part of that transition team djbrought financial resource,

meaning individualings who were financial comp tent in doing financialtate understanding financial transactions and the work need in the putting control system so that we could be stable as a and as you know, our cfo board times around the different ntrols that have been put in place. we have seen the value of that work. by where the housing authority sits today in its ability to understand where it is at any >> one of the things that as we have done all of this work and when we realize is that are growing, transition,■fn3on experienced. our strides continue to be

strong and moving forward in this work. i would like to share the past year an increase of transactions. required close out of 4 asset m and city grants ued to complete the rehab of 650 costing 16 million result in the transactions during year end close out fiscal twoochl then the min%x■ layoffs. of 90 staff during fiscal22. which have a direct impact on the finance department's ability to complete the financial closing entries year in reconciliations and this financial transaction in our

fiscal yea then pandemic impacts. pandemic had animpact on the authority and the entire nation 2021-2. greatly impacting our 2021-2. communities. during this period, the authority with other city de to our under served communities in san francisco. that enhanced safety,■] food■= sustainability. internet access and addressed other which placed stress on the resources and operations of the authority. because we were dng a■sll of this work to ensure our residents along with all residents in thes city and county of san francisco were stable during an unstable time. the pandemic. >> authority emergency housing voucher program where the harris/biden

administration provide emergency housing vouchers to all housing authorities across the nation to help during the pandemic,biliti individuals in houses. individuals who32 kenot have a place to stay were so, we addressed individual lean unhoused in collaboration with department mandated■qy hud added extra responsibilities when we were stretched with resource. so. as it related t our work and the increase the upon 70% cr transactions, with the assistance from our external financial consultant.

authority's finance teamor fina closing processes. and provide an updated financial schedule to odd tors as corrected entries■/ were identid and processed but timeliness was s and this work that i speak about as it relates to submitting needed our financial schedule system no different than what we do every year. the increase of transactions by 70% really stretched us far greater than what our capacity was. with all of thehbnó;i mandates unforeseeable circumstances a ambitious housing conversions throughout conversion of sunny sdpael potrero and transitioning to a new role as contract managers and also losing resources in the form of the layoff of authority, staff to

transition the administration of the programs to the third party contractors; all this was happening at the same time. with that there have been pains as we move forward to commroeth the agcy. with that said, i like to discuss how this affected hud's assessment prosecute of the authority for our fiscal year 22. the p'yubc housing assessment system which is knowns hud scoring system upon they use it for the annual assessment of public housing authority's across the nation. the scores public assessment system, is based is . management operations and the capitol fund program. and includes 3 designations.

high performer. which is 90oi standard performer, between 60 less than 60 points. thisqne on the public housing structures. and may 17th, r.2420ice that it points on for fiscal 2022, thell to the fiscal year 22es described 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 the finances of the housing authority. there iso material impact to our residentses that we serve

and to the leasing plan we have brought before this board for we will continue to with our leasg plan of issuing over a thousand housing choice vouchers and issuing over 700 project based vouchers■á■ l continue that work there is no material ■nimpact to any our developers. we will continue our relationips with our developers and continue to re subsidy as committed by hud and will pay our subsidies as required by our cts.cont so the issues that lead again to the fy22 designation is not■wrial. and the authority makes stead progress in conversions from public housing to th system and proactively

forecasting itself to make significant impact and augmented nabl rent in an ambitious project in collaboration with the city and our partners. xat . again, it is real iegz the large are housing goals and affble housing goals of the city and county of san francisco for our residents the city san francisco housing authority remains financially stable and ableo participate in this work as intended. in the may 17th authority lette hud acknowledgedv this its loca office are hud local officer■ñ s not expect that the operations will be impacted.

and that temporary designation. so f2023, which will come out in october/november in the last quarter of the r, we expect a designation of standard. hud also concluded the current prosecute jections indicate again that likely to be a standard performer for 2023 score and how do we know that is buzz as i talked about of 70% for officials the transactions exited friday sunnydale and potrero and the many things ■%th the pandemic and the many incu. and we are byack if youingly to our normal stabilization with

what we consider nmatransaction size. addial low for our 2023 we have submitted designated time of june 30. we have met those requirements that have created this conditional i'd like to say my

goals as the that the

housing authority that we run that this agency has the are prm in california and in the nation. and hud has provide again the expertise to do this. by providing the consult that are working with us today. 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 going to introduce our first pick want reminds the board because i thank you is really important. e months ago regardineast, which we now have two publicng . east and north ■v)v a significa

amount of work■? development. we have beyond the annual subsidy,e are adding 9.2 along city to which plaza east to fo stabilizing plaza east and■■ñ t for year 2024, which we the housing authority wiloon be moving into, we'll add an additional more than 1 million dollars along with continuing to ensure we pay the insurance exspends tours to the funds use dollars. as we know and as i shared, insurance rocketed across the nation. our insurance bill for plaza is

quite hefty. and soga minimize the impact on the operations of plaza, the authority is also going to contiue to pay those bills for insurance. along with that, in our leasing plan we are adding 60 million dollars in vouchers for this year along with adding another477 million dollars of subsidy for -- project based vouchers. overt 2021 including when we'll do in this half, we have over 800 million dollars if we project that out for 804 million dollars

over 20 years for that which we paying 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 t say that we are healthy. we take o ding designation sxeers move forward and -- the great news about the work that we aring doing and the designation is we don't have a material we had saw in 2019. i'd like to turn overand ask if wellow first pick to present and then ask questions of all of us that you might have.

thank you.pgñ pleasure to be here and honor, frankly. transformation that to talked epic. in the world of public housing the reason why i say this is because i had [inaudible] to say department in 1987. in 88 the issued a report the national commission on distressed public housing a watershed moment for the dmpt admitting that our 1.2 million units a portion was distressed. under main

under managed. . something had to happen to fix that evolution of the public housing program from 88. that was hope 6. as the board t the recipient of a■■ hope 6 gra for north beach and plaza. and if nor beach is an example of a true i went back after 25 yrsressed by the property was managed and up kept over the last 25 years. that's t[inaudible]. so, my time at hud was 6 director and then the deputy assistand secretary for all of r programs before i fascinated by here in san francisco because you have taken a significant step on

portfolio. we my partneri, 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 remembe henry cisneros was secretary of me went to the meeting with the first 20c offered them a suggestion. he said if huit to do over again would you dot same thing?■@■l■0<

we would use develop and private propertyr work that is part of transformation that you are in now. and unfortunately tonya mentioned, things that have become troublesome you guys weathered that storm of now it is time t finish off the transformation. transformation i had i were here for two weel ne

between the housing authority, . so, one of the things we will help tonya with and the board de new resource in ways that strengthen the over sight section 8 program. right? because wt 20 years ago, public housing is now project mechanisms for rung the two programs are different. it will require transformation of the admtr how the housing authority does its job temperature is■■ not ea. it is complicated. of there are, lot ofovi parts that is where gave dave and i had i can helpá(. so i was voted as one of the 50 most important people■. in the first 50 years.

only because in my view we thought outside the box. we gave latitude to hsing 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 1988 and converted to 14 up00 units of privately owned they transformed the process internal low to be play that new role chshgs over site role we will areere gratifyed be here becauset my own career after 35 years with hud.l

in the history of the public housine nothing 19 upon 37 to the day. this period of history will mar. look at the way public housinge significant moment in the hior san francisco will be a positive part of that. i will turn it over to about th. good morning. board president and commissioners. a to be here. i'm dave former secretary f th center. i spent 30 glorious federalreti8 24 years in both public housing

and theprograms. in addition too the disasters. there are some things that get . my background is in financial management. i'm licensed [inaudible]. i am a former tenant. i understand the importance of the programs. ps families in times of need. this is critical for me as worked through my careers and asked to come here work with you. this housing agency is for a billion dollars entity. th & p500 company

this is huge endeavour you the expertise required isju something strong working on your behalf. we are here on behalf hud field office they p come in and help. we near contact with former colleagues at the field office in terms of when we are here to do. i want to talk about couple things the very first is t fin reporting to hud.

ghee all of that 25 years ago i want to explain why that is. the way that letter reads if you don't see your financial statements in theahement. a late filature this nothing else matrs. that2022. not that your properties did pass muster because they dom it is the fact that the financial statements were not submitted within 9

make sure submitted the financial statements and they did. submitted the financial statement it is by 6:30. that problem has been cured that failure has been cured you will not see that or should2024 for . i want to read the language. hud said the san francisco office of public housingoes not expect that the operations will be temporary trouble designation. indicate that likely 23 score.■

and just keep going here. important to say your development deals and completion are not impacted by a destination for 22 that will go scores and sfaft there has been new inspections your plazaimpro funding that you improve the property. from 42 in 2022 to a 59 in 23.■t upper close to the■ property

pagsz. north beach as much property. it brings update score above. you are that will be 80% of the it is safe to say it is on target in■ terms of assessment. second thing i want to convey this is important. inner conversation for the field office the concerns i want us to keep an eye of they said the authority in the city invested funds of plaza east for maintenance and repair it is the understanding the authority will invest 5 million in the city additional two to plaza east need this is should have an impact on the authority inspection scores of plaza each past of our visit we

did an assessment and the technical assistand needs and came up with a pl -- spoke to t there. we did believe something 13 visits. a couple we toured the property talked to the housing authority finance people and operation's people. and reviewed oure in there, we e el office one thing they were concerned about, one, making sure the sunny valley transformation gets done. they were making

approval from the special center,iven in providing amount of section 8 vouch are funding.■ second thing they want us to pay attention to is the second report that they did on sunny sxrael potrero they hade have a detailed plan to get past thato it is contractors that do that. going back to plaza east.dt your auditor ror don't know if you have it i

23 it is a growing concern when an auditor tell us it is i concern than i say way things are going now this may not continue unless you make changes to thexx operations of the. property. when i locked at financial■f pl couple things there is no reserves. in real estate you have your collect the rent. pay expenses and save a little rainy funds for the future there is no rainy fund in plaza east that is a prp problem. the money you get fm hud and the rent.

large portion i was you know making 5.15 an hour at the time with achild. so but you pay what the collectn 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 enforce the lease is critical to the success of the programs.■; we will do work on plaza east i improve finances and things of this nature. it will require assistance from the board and the city in terms of the enforcement. one of the properties we locked 1101 connecticut a 3 year old

property. you know that new property. now the housing agency provides daily operators of the propert some above and beyond i will call it depreciation of the property. in other words it is --t will happen in 7-10 years if you not able to do w need to do. so that will be very operationas will be critical. in any other property you bring in, the other thing we did in component is the special ley application center piece was the expanded progr over site. the housing authority has a■m gd contractual framework for the

section 8 program. but needs additional or■■9 oversight. when i talk about expansion we develop■o■q a plan allow the ag to do the qualit assurance quality control overnight two vendors as it relate tos■/@y th files they put together. going back to the needs of the agency, impacts the financial condition of the properties.

it prevents or helps with damage. unit is damaged and you are ab to enforce the components of the lease, you are able to minimize the damage. as impact because the less the properties allowed to lease enforcement the more cherry pick of tenants. if you for example sent 100 tenants to the properties for whatever you know 50 or 60 units you have and toendz pick when they want rather than follow the housing authorities plan. so where as we will not look at credit reports. it is if you are not able to enforce loses they i seen this nationwide not just here. they just try to cherry pick and

follow your rules. and the third impact onion 8 score figure you don't collect rent or leases [inaudible] will suffer. th 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. okay, 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 tenan not paying rent? how come there is in reserves? i don't understand. you usual now you don't have reserves why is i saw there was a of uncollected rent. on financials and i can tell you

if the property is not maintained if the design of the prop adequate and in this property, the design of ty of why you have low scores access [inaudible] the backyards of the units. there are issues with the plumb nothing that proper5e costs. you have revenues down and nsoing up those reserves disappear they are utilized.■l >> due to maintenance. >> yes. okay.questions? anyone. >> what i want to you both for being present today. and proproviding the perspecti and national perspective on

positioning of the s housing authority. one element that we discussed in our briefings -- as well as around the nature of partnershi necessary not only with the city but with our affordable housing partners. when we look at the i don't at large, it would wonderful to hear anything further or may share now or the future how they can continue to strength thaen partnership with the providers in terms of payments and system partners. we have talked about that. in addition to the concerns raised as we havead bumps along

way.■÷ ifting responsibilities among contractors. capacity issues. among contractors and seeing where we as an authority can lean in further. the partnership approach and aline amith th city approach for pursheur suin. that help us do so much you mentioned, working on two combrms the transformation we seek to authority. and as you mentioned it is quite an epic achieve that lediju has been pursuing. i'm having to snep more fuely post default issue.?i■w

all the tools can be on as a city and that includes the housing authority and resources d partnerships this brings to bear to ensure we work with each other and realizing a st. john's impacts for our individual part manage them on a daily bas.ing like both reicomments you have

claire fighting the directi we need to continue moving in. again, that support partnership helping us identify how to strengthen updat partnerships today will be of continue has been coming up in conversations we had as a commission and also we further the investment it is in ways. plaza east an example.■s city around not only is the housing authority bring new investment dollars to bear alcohol be■1 awarded future dat for plaza eastself with its dep making investments like the one the top of the community investing in community and show willing is city support for what is seen a forgotten neighborhood or public housi site. and our instengz this is in the the narrative.

s in the the experience. properties.at any so i think well is an alignment opportunity for you tak can tak position inment spectacle the city lead and coordinate nothing is falling through the cracks as we this transition to a oneity approach.■ up until the hope 6 program was envisioned housing authorities were an island to themselves. the city did not view it as their responsibility. federal government said this is your -6city. you need to take responsibility. and until;p the hope 6 said, th new transformationilve relationships. relationships withdevelopers, city, tenant.

l typically had not been part of the world. but we uaw erred in that. the responsibility of a housing authority today in your position is about p better partners the better management better you will be in the long run. important the relationships matter here. they matter in the city a housit to say fromy putting the housing authority as the center of the activity. remember. 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 long-term land lease and take advantag o developers use to dot transformation or

and lease the land.■5xf >> we talked about this reasonable that our conversations with hud in pursuit rad was leadership of the city under ed lee with strong support from mayor breed to ensure the director of housing at the time lee was

driving that conversation and we were all coordinated as one to hospital goal of realizing the radt supported 3,000 units. and movin i partnership. absolutely. it i balance and tension held for all of you to move in the same direction. i think i believe we are in alignment with that conversation in terms where we want to go as a city of san francis. and drawing on resources we broing it bear to support the tenants and putting them first in our cosa any additional commm lediju or commissioners here? i want to say, thank you to the to hud. for make you available. and his involve am in the programs has been relevant for us. so we can see the layers of

detail necessary to be ash tuned to which we know what is■ú■■ concern. you mentiond and what is not a concern that has been resolved so we focus on the other issues that we need to tackle. just a big thank yo tth you making serious time with us. anythingeb close. thank you again. i relish the opportunity to have seasoned, mature, professionals retired and have been the short time we have been togeth

[inaxudib]sing authority. today i will cover the 9 months ending june 30. 2024. stage my focus will mainly be othe year end forecast column for each stark with the housing choice s. voucher program. the admin subsidy revenue.

wases in line. with the budget of we were insure by the reason for that is the.■ñtp we will continue to gethud. for the [inaudible] park year numbers will cover short fall you will see now. but it is too hard to forecast that. when we did include in the forecast and when it came to this we did update the new admin rate that were puçt 3% increase. and increased operation that went from 89 aa half % we included in the forecast p. up to 91%.

taking that in consideration the yeesh end forecast for admin fe. i will move to operating expense. on the operating expensefront, as tonya talked about, w have budgeted for the infrastructure upgrade now we haveud 1.5 millim that allocate across housing oice■c voucher. we antic the increase in allocation be about

300,000.ñ; moving on to emergency housing voucher. as you see we did the same thing where we increased the admin 3 rate 3% forach that went on to the emergency housing voreased the forecast w had for the emergency housing ■■ lead to an increase■n o about 190,000. the admin fee subsidy fee re we got from hud. >> on the expense front, obviously the expense increase in the admin fee revenue. and those increases in the and

[inaudible] expense are in the cocc [inaudible] revenue. it is a wash. but other thanthat, the expenses are in line with what we forecasted. this were■íved budget. moving on to the cenal office call center. the revenue is what i talk bodies increase in fee expenses. now capped in the so that [ina revenue. the expense increase by 267,000 the revenue by we have an incre. most approved budget

there is ancillary revenue. on the expense front. will decl. as relate said the employees and increases come to fruition. again, we talked about the spend. what we had budgeted.up. includedth our next slide will cover the hope 6 program. this is the property for plaza east and north beach again on this front, the subsidies this we get from hud is transferred to the properties

for them to cover the expense. we gave them last we're. specific low to cover expenses that were on thepa team. report. we gave them monies to cover for the insurance costs. so far for■ q1 and 2 given them 400,000 to cover for insurance. for paza east. next housing. on the public hughesing is machine theis set aside to pay off the pension liability and with draw that as expense in due.

we talk about the investment program fweel detail. >> ck pause what is the outstanding exposure we have around the pension payments we have to make? >> there are two on pension liability for the [inaudie] we g to 14 million as of 9. . 30. keep inspect mind we values and have not discuss third degree a pension liability for the current employee that number is million. >> next is the mod rehab program. what you see is what you get. sorry. the next mainstream. rev

very sporadic. following that g comment, hi a question for you. thank you for the presentation and i had a chance, thank you for ging me a copy of talk points i reviewed detail in a so this is a long question. and i'm trying to piece things together you talked about increase to the admin fee. >> >> i understand that there have been significant changes to the housing authority overt last several years, which is really necessary and has been a lot of great work that has been done.

and part of that and included they know there have been pivot and a necessary reduction in so. is there a connection between the addition of admin fee? with the abit when we talk about having resources to be able to have understanding of -- housing authority at our policy level? will those admin fees go towards -- providing more of the

when you talk about staffing fo really long for periods of time that is not sustainable to be able tohat manner and so -- ways to address that. there are address tech logically and policy changes. andcedure changes and other components. will the admin fee go toward that or is that a different bui foundation? >> to answer your over all question. yes. the admin fee that we get which is through the increase w■s talked about will cover the expense for eachhe programs. of different[r programs when we

are going to deliver is more the board in finance. in finance we taking on we lost people in finance due to reduction and costm looked at stream lning■d operations. to over come. deficits. the majority of the reduction and i w tonya speak to this. >> thank you. commissioner kim for that question. acknowledge so some of the fees some of the fees end up on the .

tell be a conversation weville in legal about what where are the fees going? forth. because some of the fees are also conneted to our contractors work.

yes. one of the tasks one of the thirpgs th ws when you are talking about. is having enough staffing adding they were talking about this today without me as we prepared for this not to give me an additional about that is one recommendation. we do kno strengthen our ability tomonitoring you ars the goals that weontinue to wor first pick and train staff to

understand howfective and effic. and it was the w this we a originally started out doing when we came but we really need. strengthen our ain't to do it. have the upon appropriate training and that work will be durnd their leadership with us. >> thank you. upon one more comment to this. just in csidera earlier comments, when itto mak allocations, ■[■óweg about in if the context of what does a one 73 approach look like? where dot resource make theallo. that is an outstanding question we have to delve into.

>> okay andur last slide is the summary of all the different ran. and -- you know keep in mind this slide is misleading because i want to make sure the monies we have are restricted to the programs. can only be spent on those programst in the a free for all. >> this is a final slide.■p >> just in relationship to vouch are management a vations and auy we have, i know this some new b on conversations around upon funding resource to rad and other developments. when and how will we see or have i discussion allocations, those available budgets for us. will we dohithe mayor's office e

dev mission's goal is aiming to train young adults, youth so we can be a wealth and disparity in underserved communities like where we are today. my name isîsosa. i'm the founder and executive divmission. we're sitting inside a computer lab where residents come and get support when they give help about how to set up an e-mail online. create a résumé. we are also now paying attention to provide tech support. we have collaborated with the

san francisco mayor's office and the dar technology to impld band network for the residents here so they can have free internet access. we have partnered with community technology networks to provide computer classes to the seniors and the becomes a hub for the community to how to use technology, but that's the parents and the adults we have been able to identify what we call■ a stem date. the science technology engineering and kids should be exposed no matter what type of background or ethcity■r or income status.

that's where we actually create

magic. >> something that the kids are really excited about is science and so the way that we execute that is through making !3■s■xs. and as fun as it is, it's still a chemical reaction and you start to understand that with the materials that youd to make the slime. >> they love adding their little twists to everything. it's just a place for them to experiment and that's really what we want. >> i see. >> really what the excitement behind thats're making something. >> logs, legos, sumo box, art, drawing, computers, mine craft, just awaking attention is like one of the biggest challenges that we do have because, you know, they're kids. they always want to be doing something, be helping with something. so we just let them be themselves. we have our set rules in place that we have that we want

them to follow and live up to. ande also have our set of expectations that we want them to achieve. this is like my first year officially working with kids. and definitely i've had moments where they're not getting it and you're trying to just talk to them in a w that they can make it work teaching them in different ways howhe can get the light bulb to go off and i've seen it firstand and makes me so happy when it does go off because it's like, wow, ■sdm)elped them understand thi concept. >>0 love playing games and i love having fun with my friends playing dodge ball and a lot things that i like. it's really cool. >> they don't give you a lot of cheese to put onthere, do they? you've got like a left. >> we learn programming to mak.

we do computers and■é programming. at the bottom here, talk to them and weess tse buttons to make. and this is to turn it off. and this is to its own. if you press this twice, it can do any type of tricks. like youan move it like this and it moves. this. >> like, wow, they're just absorbing everything. so it definitely is a wholehearted moment that i love

experiencing. >> the realities right now, 5.3 about 6.7 african americans working in course, those tech companies are tfuders.so i con hard with them to close that gap and work with the francisc district so juniors and seniors come to our program, so kids come to our stem hub and be o . it's a big challenge. >> wecte, but we've all just been trying to work together and let the kids mo from each department. some kids are comfortable with their admission, but if they want to jump in with city of h just try to collaborate to in the community. >> devmission has providedwest.

they teach you how to code. how to build t own mini robot to providing access for the youth toips with adobe and sony and google and itdevmission has definitely brought access for ■r our families to resources t our residents may or may not have been able to access in the past. >> the san francisco house and development corporation gave us the grant to implement this program. it hasn't been easy, but we have been able to see now some of theucc stories of some of those kthhe opportunity and continue to grow within their education become a very citizen. >> so the computer lab, they're doing the backpa. going to be able to do the class. you still want to

. yeah. go for it. >> we have a young man by the name of ivan mello. he came here twos ago to be pa digitaltsusic lab. graduating with natural, fruity loops, rhymes. all of our music lyrics are clean. he came as an intern, and now he's running the program. that just tells■w you, we are only creating opportunities and there's a young man by the name of eduardo ramirez. he tells the barber, flyer? and he says it's a program that teaches you computers and art. and i still remember the day he walked in there with a baseball cap, full of tattoos. ce clean hair cut. i want to learn how to use computers.u) graduated from the program and he wanted to work in i.t.. well, eduardo is a dreamer.

right. so trying to fin him a job in the tech was very challenging, but that didn't stop him. through the effort of the office of economic work force and the grant i reached out to a few folks i post mates decided to bring him on regardless of his legal status. he ended his internship at post mates and now is at hucity. that is the power of what technology does for young people that want to part of the tech industry. what we've been doing, it's very innovative. helping kids k-12, transitional age youth, families, parents, communities, understand and to be exposed to stemsubjects. imagine if that mission one day

can be in every affordable housing community. the opportunities that we wuld create and that's what i'm >> first it's always the hardest and when theyley really won't see you, but it's th p paving forward for the next one behind you that counts.

when i got here i thought that it was too easy. so i said one day i'll b supervisor. and when i run this place it will be ran and i didn't think that it would happen as fast as it did,b did. and i came in 2002 and became a supervisor in 2006. and six months later i became the permanent super] shop. >> with all of those responsibilities and the staff you're also dealing with different attitudes and you have one hat and put on another hat and put on another hat. and she's able -- displayed that she can carry the weight with all of these different hats and ll maintain the respect of the director, the deputy director and all of the other people that she has to come in contact with. >> she's a natural leader. i mean with her staff, her staff thinks highly of her. and the most important thing is when we have things that happen, alot ofemergencies, she's

right by me and helps me out every time that i have asked. >> my inspiration is when i was a young adult was to become wom. well, i made some wrong decisions and iw+ ened up being incarcerated, starting yan adul. when i was in jail they had a little program called suppers program and i -- supers program, and i met strong women in there and they introduced me to construction. i thought that the fire departmenul because i had a criminal history. so i looked into optoind of con. while i was in jail. anthe pgr in, they re-trained us on the rights and i chose construction. and cement mason didn't require chool diploma at that time so i figured i could do

that. when i got out of jail they had a program in the philmore area and i went there. my first day out i signed up and four days later started to work and i never looked back. i waspouring concrete. and my first job was mount zion emergency hospital which is now ucsf. and every day that i drive y ucsf and i look at the old mount z ense of pride knowing that i had a part of building tha■u did. i graduated as an ■;ap worked on a retrofit for city hall. i ved looking at that building and i take big pride in knowing that i was that retrofit. my first f foren job was a 40

story building from the g up. and it's a industry and most of the times people underestima women. challenge for me. >> as a female you're working with a lot of guys. so when they see a woman, first they don't think that the wona0 is in charge and to know that she's a person that is in charge with operations, i think that is different. it's not something -- i mean, not on only female of color. >> i was thefcement shop and i was the firs crew supervisor, in the shop as a woman. when i becamtwo, the supervisors would not help me. in middle, they'd call me aewiia female trying to get somewhere that she oh, it was terrible. it was terrible. i didn't have any support from the shop. they supported

me, they didn't, they talked aboute sometimes i had some crying, a lot of c behind doors, not in public. i will call and wouldtors. pick up the pne nalk, talk, talk, please help me. what i going to do? ha and disheartening, it really was. but what they didn't ■kuerstand is that because they didn't help me i had to learn it. and then probably about a year later, that's when i started tod studied them and i learned them and it mad me a gopervisor and i started to run the ship the way that i wanted. it was scary.: but the more i saw women coming through the shop, i sawange coming. i knew that it was going to come, but i didn't know how long

it would take. it was coming. in the beginning when ifirst came here and i was the first woman here as a finisher, to see the change as it progressed and for me to beermanent assistant superiement shop righ, that's my highlight. i can look down atmy staff and see the diversity from the women to the different coaches in herr go through what i went through coming■ up. and i foster and help everyone insteof away. i'll talk to women and tell they can make it and if they need any help, come talk to me. and they knock on my door and ask how i move up and how i get training. i'm always encouraging to go to school and encourage them to take up some of the training with d.p.w. and i would tell them to hold strong and underst things that we go through today
