4:13 pm
heard about the budget coming out then i tried to be reasonable i said i'd come and talk to you guys because i found out only 3 cv ls is being fund and none of the cb os is being fund. so when you're talking about staff i'm the poster child i live, eat and sleep and have developed my own program and for the 8 years i've been taking care of the funding. last year we got only $20,000 and we're told we're not going to get it again, this year. i'm dealing with the hash it populations. we just had a shooting right
4:15 pm
4:16 pm
it's a save place for us to learn and to help each other anti inside the program. this is another way to meet up with your friends. and the yes program it's a big help because especially for the null immigrant youth to give guidance and support to the things they're facing daily and especially for the null immigrant youth >> i'm going to read a couple of more names. (calling names)
4:17 pm
>> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm a member of the program. yes, this program is a program for youth i can go into save place instead of going somewhere and getting into trouble. i want you to support the program and another program called youth summer. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the south market community. so we're here today because our youth program has been completely cut from d c y f. we don't have a high school in
4:18 pm
our neighborhood so a lot of our.org is down on the ground. our program started because there was a lot of conflicts before the immigrant groups therefore for summer camp we didn't want to duplicate but we wanted to support the youth leadership. we do political education we also help youth with housing issues. this program is really important to them because it not only give them a sense of belonging in helping them transition from culture shock as immigrants it
4:19 pm
also empowers them to have a large community. so we hope you said support our youth by restoring our funding. >> thank you. next speaker >> i'm the executive director for the south market. we've been very happy to be partnering with programs and a unfortunately we were kit by 22 percent of what we currently have. it's a small non-profit education this has had an impact
4:20 pm
on our ability to help girls. we provided education on sex and nutrition and a variety of other issues. and we know that girls are not getting in school. and your considering cutting our art program. and finally our college and career programs will only serve girls for 50 hours duty u cut down from 90 hours. we're concerned about the reduction in our serves. in addition we're really a small staff of 3 and so we're facing some potential staffing rescues.
4:21 pm
i want to thank d c y f for their partnership and encourage you all to review what's been our previous funding level. thank you >> the organization with oasis for girls; is that right. >> we're going located in the western area and we work with the deaf and hard of hearing. we took a hit we're going to be losing $25,000. and in san francisco there are 2 hundred and 50 youth that are deaf and hard of hearing. last year alone with the support
4:22 pm
of d c y f we placed 20 youth with jobs. this summer we'll placed 15 youth. and i'm just readily sad and disappointed to know that the disabilities community isn't being represented in all of d c y f. i only saw two agencies that were ript folks with disabilities. it's up setting come to you >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm the director of the african-american art and a culture complex we're
4:23 pm
going to be losing half of our funding which is concerting because we have have to eliminate all of our after school programs and summer programs and some of our staff. this is a huge part of those concerns. this would leave a huge segment of our community under served it is the population from public housing and it would render the program attend folks no where to go. those programs would be eliminated from our curriculum. we rely a lot of a lot on our grant.
4:24 pm
we would ask that there are any consideration would be given we'd appreciate that. >> good afternoon. i'm jennifer. i'm the director of the boys and girls services in san francisco. i want to thank the staff. i wanted to speak about two things we've been disappointed in one is a simple reduction in funding and the second is the process. we've been required to submit applications individually for each of our 9 sites. we did so with a lot of specificity in the community we serve and those look different in the different community and
4:25 pm
yet we received the same funding amount for school year and summer. it doesn't make sense. we have clubs that serve smaller clubhouses and the larger ones get the same funding. we in our clubs last year provided 2 hundred jobs for the boys and girls club in the teams. we have comprehensive career and education programs. and this is the specialized k to 8 program we received no money.
4:26 pm
so we're really disappointed about it and hope i will reconsider getting back some of our funding thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker >> i'm a project coordinator in the workforce program at c y c. i want to first thank you for funding our program but as the new proposal they have cut funding for my program. and c y c has always provided it's for the youth that come to our case manages and the youth
4:27 pm
can get back on track. the kid have made mistakes but they're making an effort to restore any misconduct and spleefk the c y c has been great in providing education for the asian city. so i have kids in tenderloin and our program understand the needs of the community a lot of the families are immigrant and parents don't have the status to get a job. so this is helping the families and helping them asked you in the long term and it's
4:28 pm
disappointing. i have a lot of kids who want to grow after high school and into college i hope i reconsider the proposal and look at the youth population that are being - >> thank you, very much. next speaker please and. >> with have a mission to build community with the lesbian and gay kweerp and questioni- as su may know we have over 25 hundred
4:29 pm
kids we've seen horrific acts of one thousand of our students have reported attempting killing themselves and we can't calculate what that trauma costs our communities were two years we tried to have a great program working with staff and teachers both who are receptive with the program and who are not comfortable with the program. our model has been adopted middle school and balboa school
4:30 pm
and in our packet you'll find a model of practice and letters of support from principles. but the hud hazed identified our program as unique. we were shocked we weren't going to receive fund. this would eliminate our program from the san francisco schools >> thank you very much next speaker. >> i'm on the board of supervisors for our district. >> i'm a 15-year-old student. the reason i recommend the
