recommend is what works. and then you know, u know, as a commissioner, i have to bet clear for myself on what power i do have and what i don't have. the department to make policy changes and we aim to do that, and also to say, i have worked in thseen staff treat clients very badly. i've seen people punch cl heard that urban alchemy was f. i have witnessed it myself. i want to offer all of i'll go to my questions to the director. so with the housing exits said 55 percent were to other i'm curious, is that type of housing placement?
7:27 am
?ment good morning, commissioner thank you for your question that includes transfers to permanent housing.may include somebody moving into section 8, it can permanent housing where everybody has a lease definitely cons positive exit from the homeless response system.hank you so much. >> so the our man torial, i just you can say a little bit more on what is happening with that. >> so ye, the units e listed as john torial are in of being turned over. so there was a wide range of thin those, i don't have the number in front of me. some of them are are in process of being turned over and gener four weeks of when the unit is vacated that itthe next pe so some of those
7:28 am
aountsds are within the time frame. off line for longer period and it's for two reasons. one is it have extensive damage it takes longer to schedule some work, sometimes it even ing on the type of work that needs to be done.are some agency that's are under staffetheir janitorial so it's taking them an our typical expectation of three to four weeks, those providers ensuring that they're filling all of their positions. obviously, we've talked a lot about sweeps, shelter occupancy is at 93 percent.ask how has the sweect the department been discussed internally and kindlike if shelter ak pont see is at 93 is the plan generally? >> yeah, so you know, talk about internally is we continue to house people, ue to provide
7:29 am
shelter for people. we are going 24 hours in response of anything we know about make sure that we're offering to people and offering can reoffering, and we couple of weeks what our we're still seeing a number of because people need different things at different times offering what we have. and we will be to see if we start to get to where we can't offer and if we will have to come up with a plan for increasing but you know, we just have to keep track of it.you have not reached a point where there will be no more. >> thank you for provide thating information. and far as likke behrsaid goes. just curious, my understanding is a y services are at capacity by the providers.there families on the side of the providers? did that make sense?
7:30 am
>> i'm not sure i understand your question.from family services that have longer wait list than they have, like 30 ous how is that going to work with the need to the families there? >> marrian do you want to answer that? >> marrian salking about permanent housing or all of the above? >> yeah, i want to miss speak so i'm saying in generaservice south side beyond over taxed.if there is been conversation and just in general, anything you want to comment on that, really.the favor family plan is the response over taxing the family system and rolling out those temporary housing and increasing the rapid rehousing lots. and there is a plan convene the providers and understand what they have the add within their contracts and work from there. but yeah, that's.
7:31 am
>> are there any assigned to merced folks? >> there no specific assigner thlast kind of out reach and s in to create access to the services that we have available in our system currently. nk you. and, oh yeah, and my question was, so i read that govern newsom had 3.3 billion for prop mental and behavioral health.curious if the department is affected?believe that came out and the due is december 2024, we will be work our dph partners on that. >> awesome, thank you. >> thank you, commissioner guerrero. commissioner laguana.thank you,
7:32 am
commissioner guerrero, i'm here because of the benefits what you said was you. so i have three suggestionsto data displays in our graphs. on slide 17 i also sent some questions which i received the answers to, i believe that will be circulated all with the rest read it allowed here. but specificallyis there a possibility, this is directedto you or whoever, i think you're the right person to talk to about this.ity that we category for self sustaining, in
7:33 am
not requiring subsidies anymore? do that. >> the reason i ask, you have commissioners who at run time were the aries of these service sxz now self sustaining, that's obviously, to be possible and often will not a verity of whatever reasons.possible, we should optimize and we should be attention to to icies and approaches may increase the likelihood that people may be self part what is not measured is not approved. can we get a month over month chwe can do that. >> yeah, give us a little bit >> so the question is on the can we get a month over month change? >> yeah.get a sense, is it
7:34 am
i think now in this moment and time, that's ion to. slide 27 cost estimates the commenters pointed out that when folks are city is not paying for. i would like to see what estimate is for rv housing programs. by the way, the cost estimates breaking it down, i think it's really helpful, i for the community and for the public to understand the of these different approaches. >> yes. >> we can definitely add that in. >> just so we have clarity around what these policy apprus and hopefully so we can make wise to reallocate our resources.
7:35 am
first one is pretty quick. assistance, you know, i was hear that we're offering relocation assistance to folks, it sounds we're moving towards offering shelter is not concord ant with offer of shelter. and we've seen a lot around that. the question i have is whenget to relocation assistance. how many time is needed to assess, where would they go? it sounds like this may take may not be something that we can turn around in five minutes, i'm gu >> thank you, mary, chief
7:36 am
depu there are some folks to relocate. that can take 48 hours, 24 hours, jusreservation tickets all that kind of stuff and then you have folks that arethep you have folks that they have identified somebody that can go back with and there needs to be to kind of that bridge, resolve whatever the issues are and get them back. it's under the umbrella is our problem solving work and that's the conversations that hawith those, those their relatives or whatever it is that we're trying to or whatever service we're trying to connect them that may be outside of the
7:37 am
from a speck tum of 24 to 48 hours to to just a quick follow-up question on that. youwe make that contact with somebody and they're in that come ten do we initial contact? are we make contact with us. walkkeep that conversation going? >> at a high it's really the case manager or problem solve that her is assigned to thagoing connection with the here ever it is that they're trying to okay, so it's, yeah i can see that it be case by case basis. and just out of curiosity, is it u give me a sense of how many people that you ve a phone or a way to communicate?
7:38 am
do you t the percentage is there? >> i can't tell you but i'm sure i can get that information from my low-up with you.folks that do not have an actual phone and you to facilitate them getting in or being a bridge for them. all right, i appreciate that. thank you. last question, slide 19. the vacancies of, in our psh. i red press reports and i read that we have some shelter available.looking is there any
7:39 am
possibility that we can of these units that are awaiting for referral?as a temporary i know that's a tricky ave the street to home program where people can come treet. and we're looking to expand that as much as we can but need these psh units , some of related to the extreme need for that.but, to get the vacancy down putting people in who >> yes, just throwing some i'm a fond of that idea. a quick follow-up question on just that. when vacant tracking the turnover
7:40 am
rate. i run a tracking business, our be high but there may be a location that are vacants for month end, tracking the turnover rate and aging and deputy director sanders, i can see you busting at the >> thank you. >> marrianyes, we do track the number of days that a unit stays empty, that's part of thank you so much, i'm done, thank you everybody. >> laguana, commissioner evans. >> so, i don't thinthat the body that the city had change in policy impacting the homeless community that pretty major this week. there were two official communication was the mayor's police and the
7:41 am
second was a police notice. citation that people experiencing homelessness can chronicle report that a man was placed in handcuffs, placed in thpolice squad car, all of thinks belongings whis belongings were taken, all. he was eased to the sidewalk with nothing. the standard posted a video of a mahad his belongings pulled out hands, and ficer that i did not recognize, i don't think is the homeless operation team, i don't know that he has experience dealing with and the trauma was yelling at relax, relax, relax.
7:42 am
i chan has requested information to understand th sweeps and this change in policy that has lead to now criminalization, people now we know from long that people's more bidity that are impacted by their sweeps. when people have their belongings taken, they're likely lose id, medications, safety gear,s it harder for us to do our job in getting safe and stable exit from homelessness. the mayor's policy is
7:43 am
i want to be please that saw is that it's no longer policy for san e. if you refer to the documents that i referenced, there situations now where police and dpw the only twoinvolved in going sweeps where no notice is r it's clear that g given insufficient time to pack up their belongings and are designed to move visible homelessness, signs of visible homelessness. to take people's tents, it is not to give time to pack it up.out that this budget reduces the amount of out conducted. so our ability to sweeps is
7:44 am
also being impacted.in the hoc's team shelter are functionally at capacity. for adults we're 94 percent that those are being r specific. so my first question.ate for this department to communicate or to the department of management to sfpd and police dpw, a simple statement about the impact that these sweeps on people experiencing homelessness so that ge to prevent
7:45 am
the loss and survival gear. can we do that? >> are you asking me if commission can do or the department. >> the department. >> the commission can do that. >> so the police put out a notic citation and then they t, to see access shelter. >> right. >>have not communicated e departments. the impacts that the knis research experience in this depanot have a policy statement from this department that talks aboutthat, that it turts. >> i think the commission can do that if e do that. we've definitely had the conve we can issue policy statement that says t conversation a lot because this is a obviously, thwe
7:46 am
know about best practice we do that.walk up shelter is the dolores shelter? >> and can confirm for the record how are available and if there is turn away and how many people are >> we can, we can actually provide that information we can send it to you in the meantime, yes.clarify that officers that access to shelter beds, can you confirm how many shelter beds they have access to each day? >> well a set number that we have committed to.need to replenish. >> given that we've
7:47 am
>> but if we need twe get how often those beds are being used by lfpd? >> yes we can, but -- ~>> i've spoken to officers in eld and they don't know >> there should be. >> and before puttingin handcuffs, has been as brief as don't want shelter right? >> well team has been offering people shelter. >> so out and i'm witnessing people in handcuffs. i personally have seen two people put in handcuffs. >> i understand, but going out 24 hours in advance. >> so i went back, and i appreciated report focused our progress in the last fiscal year.a full 12 months. on the housing vacancies we
7:48 am
had 436, and this report shows 793 vacancies. this is a chronic problem. it is verythat this in the sense that it's been not decreasing quickly enough. so my request is on the vacancy data agendized item each month to talk about the vacancies and what resources are needed to get these online.y one of those units, that people sitting in shelters for months and years. we need to get i'm sick and tired of seeing this every month. it's been a year.out seeing this,
7:49 am
i would like to see this agendized every month until that number to an acceptable level. >> commissioner whilethe number is too highú:in inventory. >> it's 800 year to year based i also convey any extreme disappointment that talking about rvs for over a year. we've had members of the community displaced, come and speak to us. money is there. i'm familiar with the back enanigans and i say cut it out.there are legitimate
7:50 am
reasons to not move forward e ones that i'm hearing is not legitimate. and i, i am very concerned this body is completely being shown if we just simply talk instead to get clarification accounting, it was my understanding that we were going to have that presented to >> we were hoping to present it to th and i said that back in march that we would have it ready by some of the report information thwe verify so for this meeting, we will do a full presentation.it was 'embrged by the mayor's office. >> it was 'embarged.
7:51 am
>> i don't understand why the mayor's office is concern report that is part of our normal doing that is required by had youed. mean, we work with had youedsinger, we work with the mayor's office, we our providers, we want to make sure that we're all aligned we do every time it comes out. that threport that we've got the right data.to do that and make sure to come back with corrections.that was not fully correct, so we will >> i look forward to seeing the data. want to call out the hoement on what is happening.tics is getting in the way
7:52 am
of us getting things done. i unthat with kamala harris being national candidate and being called bit media, the san francisco, the are all under that that newsom and bre of these actions, but i want to reiterate for the sake of polisee and theaterics homeless people are being harmed.r evans, can you and next on the list commissioner guerrero and i'll give an opportunity for commissioner laguana to speak.utu to everybody who concerns, this is and i want to i appreciate everything everybody does. i questions into basically
7:53 am
thre also has to do with questions brought up. the communities that are vacant because they we that can be accountable for at's a lot of units for peopthat works on it or is it each own maintenance team? you know, be allocate asked really focused on so that after month and find out that we have place that's actually house people that the taxpayers have paid for that ione way or the another, needs to work. back to some that needs a lot damaged by the previous tenant or client.
7:54 am
if i were to rent by a housing at the regular marketplace and play regular rent. ani had a party on event on, i d the unit there would me, that concern with charge me take my sedeposit and even take me to small claims court.there for somebody that has destroyed is there? so some understanding of that would be nice.'s it regarding real estate. >> speaker: regarding oncinger each provider have their own crew fixing the unit. we have points hiring a t will go from sight to
7:55 am
site, that's an regarding the people that do high level of damage to the suffering from other issues that honestly they don't have to really pay for the damage, we try to in other places, sometimes they end up better locations because they're not able to take care of themselves. in some cases those are individuals that also g. >> i mean setting a fire to a place is >> you know, if i were to do that, to a bathroom here, i would be prosecuted. >> ses, that happens. arson is arson. >> thank you.my other question is
7:56 am
in the west side, i know this is ae for the resident of the west side.site that has more residents re vocal. why did we focus on doing it on the west and where do we have in mind now, i read at on a caravan, they moved to the zoo roadthe zoo road before and it was causing a for the there, parents that i can their kids to the handic there, and it was a conflict, and just another thought, just
7:57 am
before i driving on freeways, so if i was going d along the water front finallto san mateo, luckily i'm better now. but empty land, around been any conversation about putting a safe protected rv site for these familiesed over is still within the city boundaries? and is, who provides these rvs? you know, i'm new to family, it's hard enough to get an nd of housing, does someget me an rv for free? whoto these folks? how do we get these are my three questions, thank you. >> city attorney: thank you, commissi say this that and some people support each some people own
7:58 am
their rvs. when people are displaced we try to find places neighborhood for them to be. we have tried a number of er of sites where we're working with the the fire department to see if we can get you know, if we can makeso we've done fit test one that we thought was going to be great. we still are looking engaged in some conversations and we have not nailed a siteeen living and we don't as a e is a lot of empty land maybe, but i think part of i've been asking this r departments of our real estate department et cetera, kind of w
7:59 am
because people can live in rvs and really challenging to get a space whoever jurisdicti i few of them but we have not been able to >> how long does it need to be?st city requirement taking over a space but, you not our department's area of expertise that'sdepartments and that's why the fit test happens and say, what they're requirement would be when we're and my last question, on page we talked aboutwe talked about exiting, 55 percent exit housing placement, that is understood, that two percent exit to exited to shelter. so want to understand it, they went
8:00 am
frhousing to shelter, they preferred to go into so thatbe cumulative of 15 percent. deputy, it's not a preference that they go back into sometimes it can have a different number of ranges associated with why they are t housing into a shelter, it could be of affordable, their subsidy is up and afford to pay on their own. it could be because they're goinocess which is associated wise may be. i would not lean in on preference at alk you for explaining. that's it for me. >> thank you, commissioner. guerrero. >> thank lking about this, i'm remembering back when the commrepresent supervisor safai, said, we need outwards. i mentioned that i
8:01 am
vienna to do the field study there, you walk down the street people out doors, that's it. obviously, that lot of things that would be difficof policy changes that i think we could replicate. a movement by social housing alex lee, who have attended scott wiener.my point is just to say, we need to start looking outwar and we did discuss in forming does i also remember when we formed focus should be to uplift the strategic plan. the sweeps they do not work in support of the strategic plan.that's the obvious, you know, piece that we should try to commission. so yeah my question is and advocate to demonstrate with the data that what is happening w with the
8:02 am
sweeps is not a in alignment with supporting the five-year of the plan of the department.the police notice, that they said this is the reason it also stated na it unlawful to inflect cruel and unusual punishment. as you saw in the standardof people's hands i believe to be and unusual punishment. it's not the way.trauma cultural competency, what does it mean to throw it out the window because of this policy change.the other thing, i want to add, i think that you know, i ran a program that was and then subsidy and then e.i learned is people
8:03 am
have to be go into placement.get themselves together whether it's their disabilitgoing back to school. a lot of people don't ans, that's not what you to follow tenant guidelines. and people are still in aneed of needing more support my point to the sweeps losing your medication, take psych medicines, if it, so people losing their medication in these safety issue and not only for the residents indoors and s right? like i mean people
8:04 am
sometimes i don't somebody is throwing bottles in my direction but the losing their medication in these sweeps to amplify the behavioral health that we see when the resources are already over taxed.know somebody that worked that will put out some messaging what we see as a impact negatively on these sweeps of deaths that we will be seeing as well. so i juprovide that context and that's my comments >> commissioner laguana. >> i want to thank the speaker order, i just wanted to respond but i appreciate and actually applaud keeping the meeting moving forward way, so first of all thank you for that.
8:05 am
second of all, i want to publichow deep my appreciation is for you and your advocacy t into this commission and the detail that you showto every meeting, to the friendship that you and i have, to so much i've to what i think unity as a whole and to this body. see us up here and having exchanges and they don'thave internal relationships and so i want publicly conveying my deep respect for you and yo i was not going to say that was going to say real quick is on so when i saw that it was being delayed and to catch up with you on this because in late last night.
8:06 am
the department has tohow they verbalize it but i can maybe belittle less cautious. but what they got from the and the challenge is if it goes out a flawed state, it can cause damage. and so it has, lot of clean up.clean up than they were anticipating. my released within a week or two possibly the most, so it should be releads by the i probably won't be able to persuade you that it was not politics.had a conversation about those issues they do appear to want today convey is they're working on a that will be on the website that will increase thrency and accessibility of the survey data. i think we can see that soon and that we continue this work been
8:07 am
advocating for. as you heard me today asking data and provide us with data that with help and the larger conversation. i think it's important for all of us understand that where the actual conversaand where we need to engage with at, and i would hope concentrate our efforts and to way to speak in consensus darity, that conversation has to be with the public because it the public that is informing how government responds. and it is the public that needs be persuaded of of whatever the data the ethicacy of any given supports, that conversation needs to happen with the public. s i hope we will have, that data supported, conversatwe get from point a to point b in the smartest most affective way so we can help the most amount need
8:08 am
to somehow keep at the top of our heads meat of that conversation is happening in the public.that our elected officials are thth representing the public. they have some ability to influence but we're part of that conversation. to think about the importance of that it's not of random people public that needs to be persuaded and that's where i think the lion share of with respect to people losing medicationme and the public. i'm not sure what survival gear includes.
8:09 am
>> just to wrap this up, you document that would help educate the public. >> is that what you're prt. >> yes i'm open to creating a document to some structure and some guidance people many of worn. i'll be happy to work with you on that. >> let me just interject. i have 9 questions that i'm not going to go through.to say, as commissioner laguana, here data and people, i think facts are political climate and we need to get to the facts. and i think we get do that
8:10 am
so i think if we lead with right thing and we don't always with the people. so i think, having an opportunity forcome to a commission meeting but i'm going to ta public, a lot of work is done outside of these meetings. and lead with that only, lead with that those that with are those experiencing homelessness, period. so with that, the commission decides on how so we will have a conversation on this want to approach moving forward.time on this, purposefully becabeen in this, we've been in this for a now and obviously, the department has done soional things in terms of moving this forward. but there are a lot of rink lz
8:11 am
and it's our get in the trenches a little bit more.like to move on. we have our next which i want to apologize for those see the complete director's report but it will be online, certainly go online to get that report. and i think there is also a page, i think rgot to print front and badge, there agenda which is agenda item number 10. i need to look forwar okay, this is plementation of our hsh ng services provide your presentation, hopefully it's not too long. >> and we will have an opportunity for the publ provide public comment and commissioner as well. >> thank you. have a public presentation so if we can get that up, that be
8:12 am
wonderful. >> funded unit so this is er that, you know, we feel have done a really good funded by the federal government.
8:13 am
and all unit in our portfolio will be inspected so we can go to the next slide. just logitics, tenant the time it will take place and mails and signs will be placed on the door the property manager. this is really important to us, possibilities when you do an inspection. one is that the community passes thed inspection and the other is fails inspection because of the reason that it's or property manager. so then, the property maowner are responsible for fixithose and the third is that unit fails because of the resident either has too much they are blocking for example, the door and that a safety
8:14 am
issue. have to make sure that the corrections can happen so we just so you note, the dimension of the amount of water that is happening, about 150 buildings in our portfolio, we're talking about 9,000 units altogether. locally funded over 6,000 units. and about e. we did a pilot project to put together this program. and maybe just take a quick look at the site. onsite three, just as a sample 14 of the units. five units fail and most cases, the responsibility of the fixing with the property manager in swede off situations associated with tenants.
8:15 am
site 3, a little bit larger the units passes, 39 of the units failed. 18 fails because of the tenant issues. so you have most of was associated with property manager. so in case, you know, we work with the property ke sure that the mitigation happens and to one question that we have received is is the failings related to? so next slide, that will you a sense if you take a look at the signs, there electrical issues, conditions, smoke ve been removed, sometimes it's done by tenants th smoking in the unit and they don't want so the idea is to fix the better conditions and fix windows and make sure that the units are, you know, at the standa that we want to have.
8:16 am
as we're rollout also have amend the, the program agreements with resiallow the inspectors, once again, they're third party inspectors. so process, every single resident will be sign the program agreement that they have some questions, one of the paragraph with extremely confusing, we have corrected that. we are resident and we're work withing the provider thata mistake, that has been fixed. our goal is to increase the quality of the housing that weoffer our residents. so we ges that we think are going to be
8:17 am
great. for example, the man hewhen subsidies are terminated in the just populated by employees of the city.ing to include providers working in this space. so we're making improvement trying to make the housing trying to be more including equity processes and systems. that's my presentation, if you nswer. >> thank you, we're going to open up questions or comments around the inspections, please make your comments. >> speaker: jordan she and her, i'm i got clarification around this. and i think this would be positive especially since, the thing is suspicious when we hear the word inspection obviously, because there are lot of very unscrupulous providers, i'm glad there is a third party.
8:18 am
that needs to be, it needs big conversation either way. long as i've had several salvatore. el this should have been presented to us before this wa i feel like, this and the whole n policy because we don't have context on this, what is going on and i had an article where some things may be outdated.submitted before i had those conversations, so thank you so much. >i just say that we absolutely agree. this is something ve come to the commission. we're making sure really understand what rises to the level of cning, but everybody agrees. >> when in sure that the public has an opportunity e comments. thank you for your presentation. >> yes, sir. >> speaker: for starters where is group?also i am pieed
