oversight and monitoring of the site. this is prioritization for youth when face month appears in employment. youth involved in public systems who dropped out of school and those who are not documented. but we also hope to see that this initiative will lead to a year rounld job initiative in throughout the year >> thanks for being here. priority number 2 fully fund the fund for homeless teenage youth. so the mayor's office of housing has the goal to provide 4 hundred new units.

there's still 1 had the and 87 units to be built. in the meantime the housing deficiency remains inaccurate. with the passersby the proposition b the housing trust fund the city can allocate some of the funding and move towards reaching the goal. it's we as a city would like to see the successful transition projects. at the same time the effectiveness should be tracked so the youth commission calls on

the mayor's office to address concerns with the housing which will help the effectiveness of the housing models. the youth commission is open to the creation of such an evaluation with the guidance. we urge the mayor's office of housing k pa efforts to help the providing of units in 2016. priority number 3. so priority number 3 is expanding the cultural training so we can track the city services. this is a project i've been working for on the past two years. in my work recording the l g t center as well.

i partnered to make a film and i'd like to acknowledge that michael baxter is here as well. it's our idea that no city is in compliance 13 years later. there's several barriers that city departments don't gather information so, so there's no idea to determine the outcomes they experience. other roadblocks there's no department to over see the compliance. we urge the supervisors to develop a timeline as well as development the planning and

prelims. the board of supervisors call on city departments to begin collecting information on joined identity in the beginning fiscal year. we're grateful for the safety committee for holding on upcoming issue on june 6th. i'd like to turn to over to the commissioner >> priority number 4. hi i'm rachel. we have a joint youth commission joint education committee the supervis supervisory body we worked to highlight the programming for students not on track to congratulate under the b are lgb

requirements. we spoke about the importance of the education and held on off-site with our creditor parts with the boys and girls. our permit is around the evaluation of the quality and recovery of the programs and the need for youth input of information recovery. we believe an authentic project for youth not on track to congratulate. the student advisory council - . thank you

>> good evening how are you guys doing. i'm angel. i'm 21 yvenlgd counter chair of the youth commission. i was appointed by supervisor cowen. i was in the juvenile facility and since i got off probation i've serviced wore two years now. i want to acknowledge the assistant chief. at our juvenile probation commission it was announced a new system he will be equipping

his folks with weapons. and he has really referred to a facility incident in which the y b example p l encountered an incident. we believe that in equipping juvenile folks with firearms it wasn't been suggested in equipping juveniles with weapons that would lead to less criminal activities. the commission is city waiting

for training protocol in training. the youth continues to have the general trend about the juvenile department. the youth commission would like to say that any department hiring the juveniles should be - we as president training for those high-risk juvenile offenders. now i'll be introducing item 6 by our chairperson >> hello again so when the chief said early this year announced a proposal san francisco youth commission thought it was not the best idea

for the youth with mental health issues. i spoke at a panel on the tenderloin they felt the need for more community based integration. there's 09-1-1 operators are not trained or not enough of them are trained to like police officers that are trained to deal with people in mental crisis and not enough police officers. we felt it was better to get training then putting tazer in the hands of 89 trained folks. we hope they fully implement

this model and just thinking that the fact there's been issues about putting weapons in the hands of sfd we don't think this is the best thing for san francisco. i would you're going to stop the proposal in the future. and next up we have angel again >> sorry our committee has a lot of priorities this year. so on march 7th of last year the youth commission held our joint hearing. we heard steroids about go youth interactions. the youth committee provided the

police committee that requested the police department implement those two policies to improve conversation with youth. and it included train that basically will show the police officers how modern day youth act today. number it would be that widespread discretion to be distributed at all high schools under the police website and l g s website. and number 3 to establish a memorandum of the police and how the police can come on campus to arrest the youth.

the chief said to recommend that all those policies be approved. i want to not that 2004 the youth commission believes that we can guide the relationship and delineates the respectable roll in the police handing youth offenders. we call on may lee to inform through on the above recommendations. the youth has reached you tell for lisa who would be great to handle this trans. on december 2006 the

transportation department opened a new hall. i'd like to repeat that again, this new institution has ma flaws $2.2 million it will cost taxpayers. we yours the outdoors recreation area that had a been unuses. during this recess the department adding agreed to apply 2 of the detainees that the new yard q require a soccer field and tense court and two

significant courts. last year, we highlighted the fact it was unclear that the detainees were loud their outdoors time. we ask their continued their outdoor day activity. and kids should be allowed out one hour a day. we ask the youth juvenile department be given the necessary tools. finally we p want to say the recreational area has been demeanor mat for seven years. now i'll introduce commissioner >> hello chair and i'm nicholas

i'm currently a junior. so the first priority i have four today is to both run and sustain the free minnesota youth program. the preminnie it has been a long with the severe cuts to yellow school buses we've been unable to get on the streetcars. i could go on for a while about why youth needs to ride the bus. youth are required to go to school. many youth don't have the option

of big driven by their parents. personally he live 1 mile from school and when you have to go to school and it's a struggle we think the transit needs to be affordable and letting kids go to school is not in the best idea. to make transit attractive to our youth i personally am in to transit but that's not case of a lot of my friends and families. it's not the case that mooney is an attractive option. in the city of san francisco we loopholes talk about how wonderful it is but there are

folks in the city that are not able to afford transportation. i have a friend in texas she talks about how, you know, transit is somewhat foreign to her and to be honest even in san francisco it's foreign to quite a few of my friends and family also. so while there are issues other than costs the youth commission holds the opinion one of the bet ways to increase transit is to make costs affordable. youth needs to assess their transportation for jobs and other activities. so we're really, really excited to say that mta after years of

advocates by various organizations that the muni program kicked off and since then 28 thousand youths applied to the program and varies bans organizations and departments we're working on an outreach program. as far as a recommendation we're very, very grateful of the city departments especially mta for the successful implementation of this pilot program, however, the concerns mentioned therapy 16 months concerns we feel are those a part of our youth so we urge the members of this board to work with the city in order to make this successful throw

out reach programs and funding. and when credit expending this program consider a wider array of youth and transition youth because they face the same barriers as youth do but we charge them $66 a month for a muni pass and it's you know, i have friends that have to do that and have to do that very soon and it's definitely a hardship for them. so when considering the long term of our youth. i want to talk about supporting the eligible and documented

states and for the student arrival program this defers action as a act of prosecutoral discussion. this year 9 hundred and some applicants and nearly have of those coming from california and nearly half in 70. and while this provides a great opportunity for young adults in san francisco and throughout the united states there are a lot of barriers financial and a $465 application fee. so the youth commission following a model it was put

forward by the los angeles unified school district they created a process to allow them to get resources to apply for our program. and working through the - with the san francisco unified school district the office of immigration affairs the ask the advisory couple who are our counter part of the we successfully starred a website and it's also on page 37 and 38 of the budgetary document we handed you. and this website saluted legal and other services to apply for the program that he this helpful with the history forms. so we want to thank the members of board y
