8:09 pm
given the common ground we focused on better cooperation between your service providers to serve clients betters on our streets the need to increase the homeless outreach program and to enhance the homeless team to serve is homeless population on our streets and to strengthen the team through more sports and latest to provide flexible programs for folks to get off the streets. i do again want to thank all the folks in the stakeholder process it was beneficial and particularly bev martinez and want to turn it over to to the talk about the end results the stakeholder and we have other dp

8:11 pm
in terms of the funds the total amount was kept but we did redistribute those fund instead of adding two things to the program we're redistributing those dollars to a street medication teem we're going to obtain strengthening the infrastructure of the homeless outreach team we reduced it by one senior social worker and we also are looking at the make up of the team and the training they'll be having to look at the excess for the lgbt looking for them to provide additional support in addition to being the port hill, if you will, into the team martin luther king a they'll be doing more services on site on the street and we'll be looking at many exists for
8:12 pm
the points specifically. and more presence of the team in the various neighborhoods so expanding the number of those outreach members. and then looking at the civiltion by these to transfer those to the permanent housing that's appropriate for an individual client. this shows the addressed team not 5 total but 4 total and the yellow looks at the new positions. this is the 1 response to street messes we're looking to add a nurse practitioner with a nurse on the team and enhancing the specialities to be part of the health team. in addition, i was talking about in terms of it is san francisco

8:15 pm
position of looking for the stabilization room will help to facilitate that. >> do you have a rule with contractors that refuse to comply. >> that will be in our housing area urban health division. >> we've made several complaints with dbi and it's incredibly frustrating we continue to provide 70 percent of the incomes for the landlords city are taxpayer dollars that are bug ridden and elevators don't work so folks on the street are refusing services and on top of that we're rewarding bad behavior and providing profits through taxpayer dollars to landlords that are not taking
8:16 pm

8:18 pm
cultivation of the homeless program we've got x number of people off the streets and you get i can't answer that but the public who is participating in the hearings want to get the answers to the same questions i don't why you get answers to the questions but the citizens are denied the same answers you have the mayor's office who is doing everybody to criminal lists is homes people are hired to push people along go over there where we don't see you where the tourists don't see you. people going off into the street the homeless problem is getting worse and worse but we see nothing to keep people from
8:19 pm
becoming homeless only after they're out of their home that anybody shows interest i call the programs that the city calls available there's nothing but call us back when you're in the street and we'll help you and the mayor is trying to keep the homeless out of the library you don't need to do the outreach go to the burger king and you'll see tons of them the commission is trying to criminal lists to keep them out of the restrooms or a place to stay >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> yes. passport war field i'm not involved with a this directly you i can say certainly
8:20 pm
at least one outreach person a has presuming bely been at library but i want a lot more visibility for the program for the public. at the library it homeless outreach program has been along with the social worker pretty much inevitable there's nothing about the posting of the availability or persons to help the public no reports that i'm aware of that come to the library commission with respect to the services that are provided. when i go to my local branch liberal there's lee at least in the basement a whole range of materials to people who are homeless like where you can get lunches and food bags and where can you get a shower or a bath
8:21 pm
etc. at the main library which is generally conceded to be the primary place where the most homeless people are there's absolutely nothing posted along those lines. i particularly asked the security staff whether i was simplifying somehow missing in this main library there isn't the level of information for the homeless folks that's available at the branch they said no, it's not posted. i want to not so much to have the technical reports about the staffing and structure but some little portion that will make what was available visible to everybody including those who are not homeless but may be in contact or voices advise the
8:22 pm
homeless as well >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> dr. espanola jackson again. you know this is nothing new. it's been going on over the last 15 years homelessness for the people in san francisco. i've stated it has been made by design. we're moving poor people out of san francisco let's be real about this. you know you ail sit here and have commissioners, you have other board members come before you and rubber stamp everything that comes through instead of asking questions you have the community come and try to give you the facts i give you facts and what occurs? nothing. nothing occur. you have and it was mentioned you have all those departments
8:23 pm
here at the mayor's office. where did those funds come from and where it is going what was it set up to do it was to help the same people that you're talking about today has that done that no they find money at the end of the year you didn't find nothing you transfer money from one side to another side and use the money inappropriately you're going to talk and nothing being done >> that i is there any additional public comment with that supervisor farrell any final comments. >> thank you for putting this through a month ago and the last comment to the dph staff look
8:24 pm
forward to seeing in make an impact on the city. >> supervisor tang. >> before we take a vote i want to thank the dbi staff for responding to needs as well as the office just to be consistent with my vote initially unfortunately, i won't be able to support this today. we have a sensitive conversation the last time but to organizational some of the comments previously my concern is we are so close to the be budget process not to take supplemental victimized on their own specifically the annual listed cost associated with that not to ignore the issue that needs to be addressed in the city with homelessness but today i'll not support this >> thank you supervisor tang we need a motion to move forward
8:25 pm
supporting this rectify. >> supervisor farrell is making a motion and sending of seconded by supervisor mar. >> supervisor wiener. >> i wanted to thank supervisor farrell so far his work which when this first came up we had challenges around homelessness and mental issues on our streets we don't have enough outreach workers and there are different problems in different parts of the city for example, in the castro and market area there are unique issues we don't have nearly enough homeless outreach resources so i hope and expect this will help. and i've been assured that by the author and department i hope i get a node those researches are not for a you couple parts
8:26 pm
of city but for the whole city and make sure that all our neighborhoods that need the resources have access to them. i will say that one of the challenges that we have around budget is in the general budget the mayor proposes at the end of the may and we have thirty days to do the allocation the mayor has a lot of the cards in terms of the significant abilities concerns but we'll do add backs the boards limited where the board has more of the cards in terms of supplemental appropriations so there is an incentive in our budget process when you want to make an expenditure to move the dial to
8:27 pm
do a supplemental i've not done a supplemental except when we did our mid budget cut. it's been tempting for example, i've asked we double the size of our park patrol that costs 2 point accomplice million dollars. i made the request in the mayor's office we requested in the years past as well and it's not happened the mayor has every right in the world to propose what he wants to propose so it becomes tements to do a supplemental the mayor is either signing or vetoing it. so the process in a way is designed do encourage the board if you want to actually make dramatic changes in terms of the changes to do the supplementals. that will be challenging self-we
8:28 pm
ail start to do supplementals in terms of we believe that the mayor has under fund and we want to fund at a higher level it - i'm sensitive to supervisors concerns but i want to express my frustration there are times when we as a board don't have enough leverage in the budget process include some of our real priorities in our bulb but with that said we have an emergency situation on our streets and need more outreach workers so despite those concerns i'll be supporting in item >> supervisor mar. >> i79d to thank supervisor farrell and others for having a
