so that's another partnership effort but wherever the mayor says they need the tools. i've been impressed and we're going to do everything we can to support that >> you know part of that we've looked very detailed at the best talent in the city and i must tell you your nonprofit managers are the best talent in the whole country. if you mentioned bridge or chinese development corporation or mission housing development. all of those are strong based nonprofits are star developments that their managing managing for all different incomes and we're going to use that talent. that's certainly the direction i'm heading towards.

the way we've run the poverty housing in the past didn't work. people lost the vision of what they're doing and they didn't integrate the needs of the residents to the rest of the community. we stopped investing in the very people we were housing. and to me if you keep that in mind, i think we find new solutions. that's why promise and choice are to invaluable to us how you invest in the people and make the connections for them to succeed >> (inaudible). >> the housing authority capital budgets has been cut and cut again and might happen again

on october 1st so if you can't provide the money that we need does it come from capital? >> what i believe and this president buildings is that sequestration is wrong it dramatically under funds programs and we have a lot of homeless folks going to be homeless again. we have homeless veterans that will be coming back on our streets. so public housing is one example of the defendant stat effects of sequestration and if we as a nation can get our priorities right and ask everyone those who

have done well over the decades to contributor their fair share. unfortunately that's what sequestration has done. so have we tried to find ways to insure that public housing doesn't suffer given the bad choices by some in congress >> absolutely. it's not about just bringing up in private capital but whether you can have a grocery store or about creating a partnership that opens up public housing housing to be part of the community as the mayor said. yes part of it is getting new and creative source of capital but? not a neither nor. the federal government should be

doing their fair share and with the cuts we've seen we need to do more. and the president has a budget that would significantly increase housing i hope congress funds that budget. but we're not going to depend upon on congress we're going to continue with the great leaders to save public housing >> last question. secretary (inaudible). mr. secretary can you tell us >> the first thing the president said his greatest education was on the south side

of chicago. he learned a lot of lessons and he has asked the entire constant to travel around the country and learn the lessons from the community that have not just envisioned but create revitalizations. he told us to learn but the other message he wanted to make sure i got out if we're going to continue to live up to the ideals of our founders in america if this is a country no matter where you come from or what you look like if you work hard and play by the rules he can get ahead. we need to live up to those ideals and that means in neighborhoods where traditionally kids have had a tough time getting ahead

and even though their lifespan was determined by their zip code we can't allow that. for promise zones his promise is to quadruple our budget and all those investments will help what the community of admission has become >> anyone else? okay. thank you >> thank you. what you beautn

(clapping). on monday we move right under you can see our building and

what's the name of this building? fox plaza right there. we're super excited to move. one of the things we started around fifth and midgets was a program called sf clean streets. we started in february every friday for thirty minutes we pick up trash or whatever we found in the street and adopted to the city and we've pickup over 35 hundred pounds of trash. that movement has inspired this day of service but he want this to be going on. we will be continuing in our neighborhoods to make sure our neighborhoods are clean and

department had of dwp is really we depended upon them and i call mohammed at all times of the day and before it was ed lee and when ed lee was out here personally cleaning the streets earlier in the morning i was a community orientationer and we used to do our own clean up of the neighborhood with the high school students and ed lee then department head used to come to chinatown to inclusive deliver the dust bags and stuff. it's really great to welcome you all out here. i want to say it's important we all participate in making our city as beautiful as possible

whether it's the spreadsheets students at the carr michael the only school that serves our children through 8th grade. i think it's also important we're not all out here once a year. which when is so amazing if you're regularly out here cleaning the city this isn't just one day our regulating helping to clean our city and i want to say thank you. so let's get out there and clean our neighborhoods >> all right. one more speaker when the mayor launched the giant sweep program he didn't want it to just be dwp or

the carr mistake students one area we need to do a lot of work on is the transit system particularly our buses. there are people who get on the buzz sz they trash our buses and tag them. so the giant sweep has reached $0.84 it out to the transportation department. please welcome mr. reiskin >> as the other former public works director i thank you for being here. particularly the young people. it was nine hundred years ago that the people of san francisco figured that public transportation was very important we were the first

transit foundation in the united states but as a puny transit system once that was called the people's railway it's really part of the public realm like our public buildings and our trains and our buzz stops we should think of them in the same way pare the leaders here have about a great partner but this gentleman was saying can you incidental someone walking into city hall and starting to puck put a sticker on the doors we won't tolerate that we should have the same obsolesce for our trains and other assets. as the mayor said we want everything to look good and save and ordinarily.

but the mayor and i had an opportunity probably a year ago now to invest the square and i was impressed besides you having beer in the refrigerator it's a time and this may have changed but jack was telling us something like 95 percent of the square people lives in the city whether you're still at 95 or not a lot of you are riding our bikes in the city and we would like to take some of the million dollars that we're spending that dwp is spending to try to clean up our system we'd rather direct that money to buying now a buses and believe new bike lanes.

you kids all live in the city it's about taking pride in the city. i could say we're spending million dollars dollars cleaning up after other folks but the muni of the city is exactly what is happening today you coming out and being willing to compete see who can get the buses clean. and mohammed thank you for inviting muni and the sfmta into the giant sweep. we welcome the square we're right across the street from you and glad to have you in the neighborhood and glad to have the bicycle safety around carr

michael school at the great urging of supervisor kim. i look forward to seeing the shiny new buses arrest all right. are we ready to go to work. yeah. >> while you're out there working please number one priority work safely. if you see items that you are doufbl of talk to a supervisor. most of them will be around in a vest. places, dates, and times please don't touch things our doufbl which. it's a little bit hot today so drink a little bit of water and a at the end of the day we'll all come back and enjoy the great work payroll thank you union square and everyone and let's have
