of the.com boom and we are able to reep the benefit of that in the next.com boom and even if it is a long term investment and we are seeing the fruition of that today and finally of course, i appreciate mr. chui bringing up that this is a collaboration among multiple departments and dollars is one source and we are also interested in working with planning and dbi to see what other solutions that we can provide through the city, whether it is for example, figuring out, ways to get the non-profits exempted in certain areas where they can't go, but would be below market rent thank you to the committee members for working with the arts non-profits on this effort as well.
11:01 am
>> thank you for including the arts and community based cultural based institutions and i view this as a critical part of the battle against displacement of not only low income residents from the city but some like lopez who came to the board talking about their housing displacement but i know that many arts groups and community based organizations are facing that same kind of displacement. i wanted to also add that i believe that mr. decany coming from the non-profit sector and community arts group will be coming up with good guidelines and so we insure that it is good for the two million going to the arts or community based organizations and as someone who has worked in many of the non-profit organizations that mr. brian chui and others have funded over the years i have confidence that they will look at a package of support for non-profits including sharing of space but also technical assistance and that is so important and needed as we help

11:09 am
have 100 to 120 youth that go out of homes each year and they receive treatment in services while their families here may receive the case management but they are not receiving intensive treatment and so the purpose of this grant is to fill that gap so that the families will receive the supports that they need while their youth are away that they can also increase the amount of contact between the youth and the family members. and insure that there is a plan that is actually going to work and be implemented once the youth return home so that they can live safe meaningful and productive lives. >> great. thank you very much. >> colleagues any questions at all? >> okay, well we will move on to the budget analyst report, mr. rose. >> mr. chairman, members of the committee on page 20 of the report we note that the united states department of justice, the second chance at grant requires a 100 percent matching funds for this grant of
