have been talking about for a while. a housing dashboard. it would have the housing being built that year. i just use these numbers as illustrative. it would break them into a market rate, affordable. look at the conversions. you could end up with a much lower number. also put the pipeline in there that shows what we know and the planning department is talking about that is approved. if you get a mix of units and how many of them will be affordable, market rate, and audits. it is affordable, [unintelligible] >> let me ask you, from the report, where you briefly at the

former housing director for the city. dodge the report brings up some very important things and i think, for the first time, many of us have been saying these things for years. finally we have legislation to deal with the student housing conversion. when you are making a quarter of $1 billion a year for profit and you can renovate them for cash, when that money grows, they will buy more. we need a law that says they can't keep cannibalizing the housing stock. we are for middle-class residents. i think supervisor chiu is talkinga bout limiting rentals -- talking about limiting rentals to corporate executive suites.

not everybody, but a certain number of organizations that we have came along with the city and forced the ordinance. the big problem that you all have heard about for many weeks now is the housing trust fund. just to get us back to where we were, we need $60 million a year to get an even bigger start. in terms of what has been approved in the last year or so, where are we really falling behind? it not only helps you decide to vote for or against a project, there is an alarm for you, an early warning for policies. and we have 20% of the housing in the city available, and 80%

that is market rate housing. you have a chance to make adjustments. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. i am on the board of directors of the coalition for homelessness. when we talk about affordable housing, the first priority should go to folks that don't have housing. i am talking about the 6000 homeless folks, the people on fixed incomes that are talking about a working-class, teachers, and first responders. these are the members of the community that we should be responsible to take care of and focusing on. there are people that are guaranteed housing in this city, and the city has settled on shelter bed as a solution. if one is lucky, you get move into something that is not

permanent housing and you get stuck there like i did for four years. i have to take a roommate to be able to afford my rent and afford food. of those luxuries', the low- income and not have. -- do not have. most people don't have their own bathrooms. there are families that lived with small children that are not meeting their growth and development milestones. if you are expected to live in a single room occupancy, this is unacceptable and grossly inhumane. homeless thus is not going to disappear until we make providing this population's housing a priority. it means creating permanent a low-income housing. the overflow goes to the general fund. the vacant building in its alone, let's all homeless as and

give those -- let's solve homelessness. focus on giving people jobs and education so they can return this great city to what it once was. [chime] i challenge supervisor wiener living a week in an sro. >> i'm tommy, and every day, i see that people are desperate. they are scared to death that they will lose the place they have, and even if they are paying 60% of their income on rent. even if it is a small room in a basement without heat, windows, or good circulation. it is better than the alternative of living on the streets. a whole family can be living in

one of those rooms. babies were continually bitten by bedbugs, every night. or roaches crawling in their mouths at night when they got into their beds. how do you explain that to a child? how do you explain why they have to live in squalor? the city has lost its moral compass. many of these poor and working- class folks are signed up on waiting lists. they wait patiently from year to year, hopeful that their number will be called and they will be one of the lucky ones who actually get a unit. some die before they ever get called. they find themselves at another dreadful place, caught in a vicious cycle of poverty that can't and because the rent is immorally high and still going up in more and more market rate units that have over 10,000

homeless over 2000 homeless kids in the school system and a section a waiting list that exceeds 30,000 applicants. it is unconscionable that we haven't made affordable housing for the poor and working-class our number one priority. no more market rate housing. the child in the room with his family that needs to see that the moral compass points in the right direction. thank you. >> supervisors, thank you for commissioning the audits. i was really impressed with the results and seeing the things you can build on. i am fortunate to be a long time homeowner in san francisco. we need to look at more secured funding sources for affordable housing.

we need to look good those that have a little better means. even those that have a lot better means as possible for the mechanisms. please also look specifically at the legislation that was changed collect payments be made later in the process and move that back. it has actually worked against the goals of producing housing. i also think that the housing fees are too low. when we think about new developments that are going to bring and thousands of workers that will be looking for housing and struggling against the people that already live here, we have got to think about more new construction. i know that one development in the upper market area is going to be charging 4500 the month for a 2-bedroom apartment.

those residents are certainly of a better means and can help out the city in different ways. service workers, teachers, everyone at work here should be able to live here. >> i am a graduating senior at the university of san francisco as well as an intern. as a student with almost a non- existent salary, renting a bedroom with four others, we have had to venture to look for alternatives to live comfortably. whether this means locking out for affordable means that the local chinese supermarket, i have grown to love these bases that offer the low-income residents the ability to find affordable alternatives. this lifestyle is sustained by the fact that we have affordable housing in the city.

should it continue on the same trend with the city not meeting the goals for all income levels, the diversity of people and services that allow the culture to sustain itself will be at risk of displacement. an effective and reasonable first step would be to monitor project proposals. i support the creation of a real time housing to be placed on every project proposal so that the planning department, planning commission, and the board of supervisors understand the implication of each project and if it continues to meet the needs by the house in general plan. the trust fund be used for the construction of affordable housing. the city's low and extremely low-income residents. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am an intern at south of

market at the community action at work. i would like to speak on behalf of one of our fellow family members that is also a member of the program. he lives with his father-in-law and a 1-bedroom apartment with two daughters and a wife. it is very difficult for them to find a low-income affordable housing because we cannot afford to rent an apartment. that is why the people of low- income need affordable housing. i would like to say there are a lot of immigrants here in san francisco. we love the city. there is a lot of transition happening, and the way it works here is different from where we came from. we tried to live the american dream and we hope that you can take care of us as much as we love this city. i have high expectations for the city and we hope and pray they

live up to the expectations so that you can take care of us and we can keep on for the city, letting people know that it cares for the people. we will do whatever it takes to make sure that even moderate- income housing families are equally taken care of. >> i will keep it just a bit short because the last couple of months i have been looking for affordable housing for myself and my son. i have been looking around, there are some ideal ones. there is a long waiting list, or the family housing is nonexistent at all. i hope that we can find a solution to this problem.

>> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for the opportunity to speak here today. it is no news to everyone in this room that we have an affordable housing crisis. we have seen the displacement of low-income and working families from soma, mission, western addition, and they view. we have low-income families getting by without access to dignified homes whether it be living in garages, or the ever-present threat of eviction. my partner is one of the first lines of defense for low-income san franciscans at risk of eviction. the work she does is exhausting but doesn't come close to the experiences of many of the people that are fighting to save

their homes and fighting against evictions. often she can't go to sleep and struggles with how to piece together what ever support her organization can provide that makes the difference between people being able to stay in their homes or be evicted. my children go the public schools, and every year, two or three children have withdrawn and have left the city. there are 15 clauses in the school. that means they're forced out of the city. they don't have the choice to move to the suburbs, but low- income families that can't make ends meet. i wanted to speak to some of the community planning effort that the organization i am part of has been helping to lead i together. there is a publicly undecided

with the transit station and is in the heart of a working-class neighborhood next to open space, schools, and the site is currently maintained as a half- empty parking lot. they refuse to respect the planning process. >> thank you. i will call ten more names. if you want to live up after these speakers. these are all the cards. >> i have an activist -- the

need is even more pressing there are thousands of units being converted over this city. and it is all being done surreptitiously, and i am glad that the supervisors are finally waking up about this. the average couple walking through the tenderloin looking for a place to live isn't looking for a $1,700 furnished studio apartment. not only is this and diminishing the tenth rental stock - - tenant rental stock, they're not

voting. they're looking for their condo somewhere else and they will go to that district in the vote. think about that as well. thank you for all your work. >> i am of the council of community housing organizations. of wanted to thank you for providing us with this reporting in the data. i wanted to echo what others are saying about the need to have real time reporting with each new project whether it is washington, cpmc, whatever it is. to know how that particular project is helping us meet our goals for moderate and astronomical housing. second, in terms of our low and very low incom production

targets, i wanted to echo with the before -- what was said before. whether we're talking about a gross receipts tax, some are attaching revenue neutral to that. we need to make a real commitment to local sources of funding for affordable housing. and to echo what turley said before me, the city needs to take a lead in looking at surplus properties that the city owns, and that the city allied agency and the school district alone, and how those can be used for affordable housing. to the city's inclusion area

housing program, the only real program will have to meet our moderate income needs. part of the technical committee of around inclusion very housing, we have heard a lot about the desire for developers to pull back. we have also heard and saw a representative who designed the feed deferral program that cost the city $10 million. we need to make sure we don't keep doing that. >> i am a representative of the low-income family. most of the family lives in sro and can't afford to rent even a small studio because of the

economy right now. some of our family are forced to live in a shelter because they don't have enough money. please held our family have affordable housing for the family. >> for us, affordable housing has been echoed through years of me working there even before my time. even affordable housing is

really a must. we're seeing a san francisco production pattern out of balance with the real needs of every day working class people. we hear that with over 200 families that we work here. we are seeing that with thousands of condominiums in the neighborhood, still in the pipeline, there for the city really needs to put a cap on market rate housing and prioritize affordable housing. we are seeing a lot of families being displaced from other neighborhoods, starting to live south of market and tenderloin which isn't a problem to us.

therefore, the fight for affordable housing is within the low-income community. we hope you consider the dashboard idea and protect the existing residence by making sure -- he also wants to rent as well as on their own units. we really hope that affordable housing will be your priority. >> on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition, to correct a small misperception, the washington project kicked in $9 million to the mayor's office of housing that goes to very low at a low- income housing. it is also leveraged water to

times for that segment. -- one or two times for that segment. however, going back to the legislative analyst's report, i wanted to commend the excellent work from planning that has done the city proud on this. god willing, this will change the conversation around are very difficult issues that the family is facing. i agree with the testimony we have heard today. it is vivid and incontrovertible. we are making san francisco very unaffordable. i will say that insufficient attention has been aimed at the production of housing. and in particular, virtually none of the arena and goals. it took two or three decades to get to the point where we are now by consistently, year after year, for decades, under- reducing the amount of housing

that we are told again and again that we should be building to address employment, transportation, and growth. it is hard to imagine that we will address the fundamental san francisco affordability if we don't change the amount of housing we are producing. you hear the need for it, but we can see that the funding for it, that the federal, state, and local levels, are collapsing. i can't imagine how it turns around if we don't start building lots and lots of housing for along time. >> i have a couple specific requests. please ask the planning department to provide for the last 10 conditional uses that have come before the planning commission the housing analysis done on those projects as well as the generic description of

the project. i think it will be helpful to see the real world. no. 2 is the planning department giving automatic renewals and extension for projects approved that haven't started construction. they should do in analysis of the existing need whenever there is an extension, because we of the project on three and four extensions already, particularly on the hill. the-ford needs to be done not only for the planning commission, but when it comes to the board of supervisors, you should see the dashboard. there has been a boom hall last couple of decades.

hi and housing is what we have been producing. we are still not really focusing on what we have got. one of the things we have this terrible tracking and computers, unless something has happened dramatically in the last couple of months. the planning department does not have the ability to track through to sail on a project from permit application to permit to subdivision because they are all condos, to sell price. there is no excuse for us as a city to be so far out of whack on our ability to track on computers. it is an embarrassment cantonese to be remedied. >> supervisors, i have been a

resident in san francisco since 1969. i was homeless myself, rehabilitated, and retired. in looking through the report, thank you for commissioning it. the numbers are useful, and adjust to underline one. , it says here that the marketing of affordable housing units should begin no later than 60 days from the certificate of occupancy, and that in several cases, the marketing did not start until 5-16 months after. we have been talking about affordable housing and we have a long delay now until it is actually in place.

there should be some kind of -- how to keep them accountable. >> good afternoon, supervisors. peter cohen, a long afternoon, and we have heard some tremendous public testimony that tells the story, a very human story that the data earlier reinforces. i want to punctuate a few things that we think really are the contacts for why we are facing a difficult task, but we're willing to face the analyst's office report again. very insightful and very well done, pushing this not to be too comfortable with just doing fairly well. it shows us that in all of our categories of very low, and

moderate-income housing we have hit 50% of our need. if he took the tax credit, we did about 83%. i know we are not just excluding moderate and middle income for that. our need for market rate housing is only barely half that. the projections for the pipelines, we have maybe 30% that is again, below market rate. we have a structural problem here that we need to face. fundamentally, we need restore that tax increment financing. i can tell you we're not stopping to get back to where rework. it gives us a great opportunity to think big and about how we can go beyond restoring low- income housing funding. i wanted to show you just one graph, if i may.
