subsection in the ordinance. the deletion of a red dante section. clarification to the definition of affordable housing and that definition to affordable housing providers for support of services and have a master lease by affordable housing covered by this ordinance. in addition to the same tracking requirement to the contracting section required that olse tract to the board of supervisors on an -- annual basis. thank you for providing me to make these amendments to the record . >>supervisor jane kim: i second those amendments.

>>supervisor scott weiner: with that said, let's go to public comment. i have one public comment card. >> thank you for your attention on this important issue the land use hearing when we had over 50 people out to testify for the community support. i'm here for legal services for prisonser with children receive this as a critical human rights issue to end discrimination against people who have been formally incarcerated and i urge you to adopt this as amended thank you very much. >> thank you mr. chairman and good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be here in front

of the board. i'm marsha rose. i'm quite familiar with this issue. my organization published a guide to housing rights of people with criminal histories back in 2008, i believe and we've worked on this issue with legal services with civil rights advocates throughout the country for a number of years. we were involved in earlier discussions about this ordinance but somehow we were not included in the recent discussions and i did write to you with a number of recommended amendments. some of which i believe supervisor cohen's amendment will cover but unless there were some that weren't specified

without seeing it in writing. one item that i did want to call to your attention is to #9 -- the look back period for housing it's currently drawn as a maximum of 7 years, of course if there is a maximum that people can choose to do but in general when you have housing requirement for providers you have more specific requirements through contract or other federal or state provision that preem. the 7-year look back is a very long look back in terms of housing access and it is being changed all over the country even by quite conservative housing authorities that don't have the same political spirit of inclusion that san

francisco does. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you. i will ask you you i question. you can make your final point. >> certainly. i want to make sure the local operating subsidy program we were under contract with supportive housing to work with the mayor's supportive housing and department of public health and human services to screen with the aim of screening them in and maintaining housing security and the look back period in those guidelines is three 3 years for a misdemeanor and five 5 years for a felony. i would urge you to consider shortening the look back period in this ordinance. thank you for your tremendous pioneering work on this. if we can be it assistance to you in helping you implement thiscious we are happy and proud to being in san francisco with this progressive inclusion policy. thank you. >>supervisor scott weiner:

thank you, ms. rosen. next speaker. >> good afternoon, committee members. my name is roxanne with civil rights. i help coordinate our second chance legal clinic each month residents of san francisco come to our legal clinic looking for help to overcoming the barrier they are facing a past arrest or conviction record. this new policy is vital in eliminating unnecessary barriers an allowing people to access meaningful jobs and housing. these opportunities are critical for successful reentry. an allowing people to stabilized their lives which

in turn stabilizes families and economies and promotes and increases the economic social fabric. please vote yes on this legislation and thank you for all the work that you have done so far. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you so much. is there any additional public comment? yes. please come forward. >> i will be brief. i'm very excited. for the first time in six 6 years we have left right and center act of this board and with people of san francisco and the groups of san francisco working together on a major expansion of human rights. it's a very exciting moment and shows what we can do. i want to thank national housing law project for the thoughtful amendments. always at the last minute things come uptaking a look over them with some of my colleagues with affordable housing and we find them very reasonable in line

with what they expect to do. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much. is there any additional public comment on item no. 5. if there is none, we'll close public comment. supervisor cohen and supervisor kim has moved those options of amendments. we'll take those without objection. >>supervisor jane kim: i want to address miss rows and we talked with the mayor's office of housing and we included the language brought in that definition and we appreciate it actually being able to make that clearer. i believe that has been included. on the look back issue, i would like to make it three 3 years as well. this has gone through the issues and i think there is a general agreement upon that. of course i understand what you are saying, you can certainly advise housing

developers do do a shorter look back because it's not a mandated 7 years, you can always do less and still be within the jurisdiction of this policy. so i would encourage that advocacy to happen but this is a good way to move forward and also consistent with other legislation that have passed this year most recently with the immigration due process for all legislation which include a 7-year look back and policy makers perspective it's better to be consistent and can be confusing to a lot of stake holders. i agree and very sympathetic to your advocacy and appreciate that you have come forward to talk about that. so, supervisor cohen has made i believe also a motion to move this forward with recommendation. i would like to second that motion. i also thanked your office in particular andrea and this

is certainly a moment us legislation we are very excited we are going to be able to do this together. >>supervisor malia cohen: i would like to address andrea also. thank you, we couldn't do this without you. >> >>supervisor scott weiner: the motion is to move item no. 5 as full recommendation to the committee as a report. i'm supportive of this legislation. it's long over due and we have a significant challenge to make sure that people can get work when they come back into the community. they need work and housing an that's how we ensure that people are successful when they we enter into our society. this will help them do that. we will take that motion without objection. >> mad clerk is there any

additional business before the committee? >> there is no further business. >> then we are adjourned. [ meeting is adjourned ] >> >> >> san francisco recreation and parks department offers classes for the whole family. rec and parks has a class for everyone. discover what is available now
