practitioner. i was at a meeting in the institute of learning they have 8 thousand calls monthly search and seizures with the very problems their lesson so many. we have to do some innovative outreach to help our search and seizures who are place bound because they don't have the support to get out with other services with outreach of schools and other public entities in the city often not thought of as common ground places >> thank you. okay. thank you. >> realize i've taken public comment too early, however, any public comment on this item?.

organizations like c.j. c.j. and m-3 as well as the developers to provide solar training to young adults. i want to phone call on m-3 today ways that is the community based organization that's a 501-c 3 a that's done some i didn't believe work in san francisco providing a mostly breakfast to people who are looking for a beacon of light to contribution from their challenges of what they've been exercising and we're presiding u providing a resource whether its job training or other services. i am could you today because my peers would like me to resubmit my application to continue to be the chair and with this i think

it's great. a couple of thoughts as we the red directorship work with the organizations. i think one of the things we listen to orchestras and foud what their needs are and taking those recommendations back and presenting under no circumstances those to the committee. it's been a big challenge over the years because we should focus a little bit more on increasing the communication with that organization which is responsible for the federal dollars that are coming down the pike. with that said i'll to continue to co-chair the y came back. we've been getting a lot of transaction particle with collaborating with the youssef and community based organizations and will be glad

to continue to serve on the w came back >> thank you. any questions. >> supervisor breed. >> how many years were you on the y came back. >> one year. >> can you talk about your accomplishments. >> we have done some off site workshops and think tangz if you will to better develop the communication as a consultant, if you will, to the youssef. that's been a big part of what we needed to do on the y came back. some of the other things we've done is listen to the community based organizations in a way that we could go back and make and present those recommendations to the i sever. so - >> what's in one sentence

what's the mission of the workforce and advisors committee. >> to be a liaison, if you will, to the community based organizations on their on behalf of to talk. how many community based oeshthdz are there >> that's a great question. i know it's 4 of us. yeah. >> so there's just four nonprofits. >> there would be nonprofits 80 that are ref funding it's approximately myself it's been 7 of us. >> thank you for the question. >> yeah. sorry about that. >> supervisor breed. >> hi, and thank you for being here i want to know how is your attention on that committee. >> attention i think it's pretty sterile considering i have to chair the meetings but i

think a lot of the attention with the organizations is pretty good as well so - >> okay. so have you for example, missed any meetings during this year. >> no. >> that's great, thank you. >> (laughter). >> would you like to have the first workforce vifrment do xhae what direction? >> well, for the most part i think just to support the community based organizations better and more effectively i think that's where the rubber hits the road. a lot of the community based organizations don't have a voice ease nancy pelosi i put in this position to be their vehicle to express what their concerns or

what is working well, so the best practices can be utilized by other community based organizations >> thank you. let's see the next person here is dionne. and are you speaking for - >> good afternoon my name is tim waters i'm the program director for the young community. mr. dionne can't make it here today but asked if i would if it's okay with you to share a statement >> absolutely. >> thank you. first and foremost i'd like to apologize that i'm before you today. supervisor yee and supervisor breed and 0 supervisor cowen it's truly an honor to be

recognized for the advisory committee. a few weeks prior to becoming aware of this meeting i was in the attention of the swearing in of the first african-american mayor in the city of hawthorne. with my nomination it would be a notable strength as an individual i've dedicated myself to the community and the resident of district 10 for well over 3 years by creating and implementing and seeing through various better time programs. in the long side we'll continue to slide for the uplifting growth. as we continue to advise the workforce investment san francisco over the cities workforce needs and solutions needed to resolve them. my humble regards mr. dionne

>> thank you. any questions? thank you very much. thank you >> next person is (calling names). >> hello. i usually go by lilly. i do have my name and application a little bit history about myself. i actually started in the workforce rule as a coordinate in china town providing employment services for low income a lot of young people. i left to get my master's degree and since i've been back i'm the coordinator for the committee that's collaborative and focused on district 11.

i'm also the jobs policy advocate. >> okay. any questions. >> i have a couple of of questions. >> supervisor cowen. >> i didn't have an opportunity to talk to you or but can you talk about your workforce experience. >> u6. >> your workforce experience elaborate. >> i started in terms of specifically workforce i worked with young people ♪ district 3 >> what did you do with them. >> i provided services directly to people cover letters pea that stuff like that outreach to the community and focused a lot more of building up their self-esteem and preparing them for the

workforce. definitely have passed the young people that were part of my program they were immigrants most emigrated like in the last 3ish years so they had a huge learning curve and i maid they were prepared to go to work and learn the laws that applies as a young person in san francisco. that's a lot more direct services. in terms of what i do i'm the coordinator for the hall of justice that focuses on sfeesh for people with high barriers to employment. and kind of identify what our barriers for adults in the services. so trying to see how we can help people with different abilities like access like the workforce

system in san francisco so we have a really good department economic workforce development but for district 11 we found there's a lot of people that are again limited english spanking speaking so they have bad barriers they might have documentation issues and not enough time or experience there's a mri i can't do of different barriers. so we're trying to figure out ways to support them and a not just training them but also trying to advocacy in terms of workers rights and building a cooperative.

i help them >> what did you hope to accomplish. >> i actually hope to bring more of a wider community voice. i work with a lot of people i've talked about district lifting but i work with a lot of workforce cooperatives all over the city. i want to get a better sense of what's going on in san francisco but i want to make sure that low and moderate income folks have jobs in the city and so i want want to make sure we keep those ideas in mind when we're doing anything to support people. i think it's easy as policymakers to elect people on the committee or stuff like that to lose sight of the actual

people we're servicing. that about all the different possibility of what is a barrier for them to access employment and i would want to hope to add that into the conversation >> so you think it's not happening right now. >> i think it is i think you can always add more. >> so i'm looking to get a feeling for what exactly tangible you said a wider community voice that's an intangible thing it's also challenging but how about a specific piece of policy or legislation or a goal in the tech industry wild to see an there in latino workings by 50 percent in two years. what exactly are you looking to do i want to know concretely so when you come back for

reappointment okay. how do we measure our success? >> i think that it's very hard for me to go with numbers i know that when i was in my coordinator he helper we were focused to make sure many the young people fulfilled concern requirements and it didn't reflect the type of work that was done so i don't think i can give a specific 15 percent of people in san francisco are going to have jobs. i think that for me pits more of making sure there's other - their supportive services >> hue do we know you've been successful. what i'm trying to understand is how do we quantify and measure

success how do i know you're doing a good job on this board that was just an example maybe it's not 15 percent just for example purposes for you what do you hope to accomplish maybe you can help me refraets my question if i'm not being clear and a uh-huh >> i'll let supervisor breed take a stab at it. thank you for being here today and showing interest in the particular committee one of the challenges we face in san francisco the numbers look good we're doing well, our unemployment numbers are down but that means nothing for me even when i which is before

being on the board. some of the people that have some of the difficult obstacles in their way like with job opportunities they're not connecting. this is an important committee and the only person i know for a fact that has helped deal with those obstacles your mentioning in terms of barrier removals when i think of barrier remorse i think of taking someone to the dmv to make sure they have identifications and the person i know dionne hook eerie know he works for young community developers and i know on a day to day basis this is a challenging population one that i know needs job opportunity and

needs serious barrier opportunities i know he's doing that work i hear what you're saying but i don't understand how it leads to both sides of pope's people who actually are walking away with employment opportunities that are sustainable. i know the system i'm not a fan of it by at the end of the day are we helping people not only organism those obstacles but helping them to get employed and what are the effective ways you can bring to the body to help us 80 get to that point >> so as part of my position as the policy jobs associate i'm working on a more citywide version of how we can employ people in san francisco. i'm focused on the first policy

and trying to see the first source on paper is really good, i think we can improve it and make sure there's that connection between what the policy is and actually employing people in san francisco. i think that it's good to have those direct services. i am more of a policy person >> so your - i got you. you see where the barriers are and i you look at a policy solution to help with the solution that's your interest and expertise >> yeah. >> great future. >> i'd like to follow-up on the question. in regards to the work experience you've had the experience in general can you give me an example where you've

seen n some issues or barriers - they can be minor barriers to move it the agenda so that some policy has been created or some solution has been created to deal with those barriers do you have any examples where you've been involved >> in terms of specific policy or barrier removal. >> barrier or more to bring some place to the dmv but for instance, if i see 20 people having the same issue i tried try to have a solution for the system it could be a policy or change. i realize don't think ♪ terms of you personally did it

by yourself >> when you're talking about barrier removal that goes with the work i'm currently doing in district 11 we know there are a lot of people f with limited english capacities. i'm working with this right now and hoping i'll be able to follow through with that. we're currently looking at american people e s l class. we focus on the jailer industry but the outreach is called u s f and we're trying to put together where it's very specific industry very small a class so we have a little bit of control over who's there and we're not

just shooting for something two big. and then we can expand that in the future. so, i mean 0 that's one of the examples where i, you know, in my experience where i started working and identifying there are language barriers in this community. i'm starting to think of how >> that's a very good example. but i think part of this - i'll ask this question i have some experience in terms of moving and breaking down barriers. any other questions. seeing none. thank you very much. any public comment on this item?. seeing none, public comment is closed for this item. okay. we have 3 applicant and two seats. one of the applicants needs the

residency waiver. any thoughts honey this >> supervisor breed . >> i wanted to make a few comments i know mr. parish i think he's a wonderful person but i'm not completely familiar with his work and ms. wong this is the first time opportunity to hear from her. she definitely has a certain level of expertise that could be beneficiary to the committee. i wanted to put my thoughts out on the table as i started to in questioning about mr. booker. i know him as t.j. because he's informal and i've had to send people with challenges to him

directly at the young community developers not only did they do an incredible job with working with those individuals but many of them are still politely. the young community developers has p had it's challenges bus it's one of the most effective organizations in dealing with people who were formerly homeless and people who have serious barriers whether they've been incarcerated you name it those are entities i've known for a fact deal with the kinds of challenges that i personally have to deal with in district 5. i'm not in each stance a fan of residency i waivers but the work he does impacts san franciscans
