our ability to implement a conserve active program that works. folks this will not come without introvert but i refuse to let people die on our streets any longer because we refuse to compel them to help themselves (clapping) and i'm grateful aim gravity that public health director and a ingress number of stewart's and homeless advocates have adapted this approach thank you. this is the city of sftv and we have to help those who are homeless because they don't have the capacity to make decisions that save their own lives

(clapping) but housing in san francisco in 2014 is not only a concern of those on the streets and that's why we're here today. this place the shipyard which we see today is reborn for a foundry for ships for a new community. mayor brown we're honoring the commitment you made to this community and so to the southeast sector and thank you senator feinstein and nancy pelosi for your unwaiver support for your leadership in winning $850 million for a thorough clear up he a smooth transition from the navy to our city. around us under construction are hundreds and soon thousands of

new homes some of them 2 and 3 berm homes. more than 25 percent will be affordable and the rest will be priced according to the market many full in reach of our middle class families. yes housing. i know some of you have been looking around here is a well, maybe this is where we ought to be. with those views of the downtown skyline and ready to be moved into this summer and on a clear day you can see the junior bay

bridge from our front porch and while the 49ers will never play in candle stick thousands of children will be playing there and we'll replace the stadium with housing beginning next year. the shortage of the middle income people is a problem we've let foster it's a crisis it's a crisis that sparks fear worried that speculators worried to make a quick buck will soon threaten them with eviction. it pushes young families out of town once you have a kid only so long an a a single apartment is going to work. as companies move everywhere

because their employees can't afford to live here. there's no easy decisions so in frustration some people turn to ease targets instead a commuter shuttle bus or a company's ipo or even toast. well, my fellow san franciscans we need this. let's be clear we are all responsible this is a crisis of our own macro. for too long in san francisco we tried to have it both ways more money for affordable housing but fwooven the projects that generate those fund build more homes for in case o middlesex families and slow them adopt and

a limit where they can live and we were surprised when it's only available for the weight. some of us who decry our housing krois crisis were the same people who slowed the pass of clean up. you know, i know something about those issues it's where i got started in mrikdz 30 years ago as an advocate for our cities folks. reverend norman fong and jeff and so many others remember we stood together to stop the wrongful eviction from immigrant. and one summer night a army of

police officers marched the international hotel and in defines 3 thousands of us surrounded the knowledge and we only slotted the evictions by it's a turning point for the movement in this city. our resistance that night helped to pave the passage of rent control by the board of supervisors too years later and the light maybe better my passion for housing making sure san francisco is a place where people of every background can call this home burns hot in me that's why in my first term we worked together to place the

affordable housing on the bottle we had a 1 and a half billion dollars for the residents over the next year's but i'll be the first to say it's only a start so today, i lay out an ambitious new challenge by completing thirty thousand new homelands by - homes by two two. i want to insure that 1/3rd of those will be per diem available to low income families. our retail and a service workers and teachers our home care workers and nurses. today, i'm announcing the 7

principles around which we must rally all our sources to make sure we build those thirty thousand homes. first, let's protect our resident from eviction and displacement we have some of the best yes. we have some of the best tenant protection but the real estate market threatens our committal and i've joined a diverse coalition of folks to reform the israel act we must stables at risk rental unit. it still allows protection for the resident to remain in our city third we musty vitality and

rebuild our public housing. it's time to end the cycle of poverty housing. we know exactly what i'm talking about. in 2013 with new leadership at our hurdz and full support of the obama administration we can provide save housing. thank you city administrator and the housing authority commission (clapping) we're building on a plan in sf that will integrate mixture no objection community. we've started about hunter view. your problems in the making

won't be resolved overnight but last year hud award our effort with 6 and a half million dollars and there's maintenance mechanics 24 of those position filed by residentism and next week i'll be traveling to washington for permission from hud to spend more dollars to revitalization our rebuilding of 4 thousand you housing units by two two. this will lower our down payment for housing. your middle class is suffering they make too much to quality for affordable housing but not enough for the new construction

so we must explore new private-public partnership and launch thousands of new homes in reach of the middle class and new initiative for inclusionary housing and a land trust. and today, i'm announcing a needed captains to double the payment of the cities down payment program increasing assistance for the blow home boroughs they can help 2 thousand 5 hundred folks buy a home by 20/20 clb. first parlor we must built for affordable housing faster we're a leader now but we need to

build more of it with fewer delays in december i signed a clue of order for project. if we continue those efforts we can add 4 thousand permanent rent e.r. rentals. we must continue to build especially re7b8 units that were even in san francisco the more option for housing our residents have the less difficult it becomes to find a home. in particular by building a neighborhood like this shedding nearby candle stick or visitation valley we expand those to mid income families and finally, we must make construction of new housing

easier. you know, they to get tens of thousands of homes feast we need to stop blocking them. to supervisor weiner we need new ways to support infrastructure through the reinvestment of 49 district. well, some of you will look at this plan and say this will require us to do more i say exactly. ladies and gentlemen, when it comes to houser project we can't keep doing the same thing and we have to set aside the doildz and so next month i'll quote-unquote the developers and city departments and tenant advocates

and realtors and prosperity owns. i'll are is having ask them to achieve the goals of rerehabbed homes by 20/205 and implement this plan. you know, ladies and gentlemen, i know we can do it because in the relatively short life of our city we've faced and overcome 2k5u7b9ing challenges i'm not talking about earthquake from the gold rush to the building of railroads through wars and lib ration movement the story of san francisco is one of rapid spurts of growth. it's a story of new industries and steroids that brought people

more than most places santa fe san francisco has represented. over the time we grew west and south turning cemeteries and a sand dunes like the western edition and the sunset. today, we grow in places like the shipyard and the new transbay district or along our waterfront like pier 70. whether it was the irish who come to pan for 0 gold or the african-american who came to work in the shipyard or latinos with who fluid for work or lgbt 0 who came seeking freedom each new wave of newcomers has come with this tension but my fellow

san franciscans our city hasn't been a postcard frozen in time never been a city to slam shut the doors of opportunity to those who came after us when we tried to stereotype a group of people they've been the ugliest chapters in our city. so today as our population again grows in numbers and our skyline groups i call b upon us to grow as well. my friends keeping this city a place for everybody to live whether you've been here or 60 days it's a challenge we must confront together. so as unthinkable it was mr. king who said it best we may

have come on different ships but we're in the same boat now. it's a challenge we must confront by insuring every san franciscan that can work has a job. it's a challenge we confront by assuring every san franciscan is a afford to stay here it's a champ we confront by improving our schools and transportation system and keeping our streets safe. we're one city but we celebrate the success of all our resident and we share in the responsibility of those who are left behind. it's that same city that thousands will come up or come out to support a kid who soufrd from cancer and was bat kid.

to find new opportunity i say get involved. you're now part of this city and must be part of the solution. acknowledge our impact and make it a good one that were understand that the homeless man you see sleeping in the doorway thought at one time was inevitable too but you may also one day find your that way. help clean up our local park and respect the history of those who were here before you break bread with your neighbors. because it turns out san francisco changes us more than any other group of new conforms will ever change san francisco.

it's the opens our ideas and new ways of thinking it makes us special and at the cutting-edge if not more so than the late. my fellow san franciscans we've come a great distances and there's still too many in our city owe too many we have to help to insure this will be their city as well our work is far from done. nelson mandela taught the world a thing about bringing up people together and reminded us that after climbing a great hill one only finds there are many more hills to climb and we may take a moment to rest and look back at the distance but only for a moment we have responsibility we

dare not linger our long walk together is not ended. let's go forward together in 2014 and keep the state of the city vitality and strong and insure that san francisco remains a place where everyone can afford to call home. thank you and goadjourned.
