40,000 units and i say that they go to the homeless people first and then the low income folks and we need to stop criminalizing the homeless and repeal the measures and the un said it and the violations of the human rights. and the reality folks, is that we cannot end the homelessness, unless we end the evictions. next speaker, please? >> >> and from the program director of the national youth network from 1979 to 1993. and i am also the founder and co-founder of the rocket street youth service and san francisco needs to provide more housing for those and the additional

for the family and homeless youth, 18 to 25. and there needs to be the wrap around services and the wrap around services should be i also want to point out that san francisco, is a beacon for the run aways, and you know, and we have la, and seattle and san francisco, and new york are where run aways usually go, because you can't get any further once you get to the west coast. and so, if the people are going to come here, and then we have to have the services to offer them. and if we don't have the services to offer them. then, they are just going to become like what happens what happened a couple of years and a number of years ago, is that they come here on the bus and they go over to the polk street and that is why market street

was and the various neighborhoods throughout the city and we need to meet them where they are at and get them to be productive, thank you. >> my name is john nolty, and the housing for the youth, and no new funding, on this, and we talked about it today and i was, going to point it out for the lgbtq youth. and no more doors. and the youth needs a wrap around services for the

population. and we need more education because obviously, if the youth are going to stay in san francisco, they have to have a living wage once they to the education, to live and stay in san francisco once they graduate from these programs. and turned out over 25. more a case management is needed for the population and productive, and so, to be productive and not called back to the risk behavior. and lastly, please find the funding. to secure, for the lgbtq youth. thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> i am a resident at 1049 market street and mid market

and they are trying to force us out of our space and but over the last few years, we have watched as our nation become politically more divided and more youth are actually coming here to the city. but, in the same token i see more cuts happening in the organizations that serve the lgbtq communities center, or the people here in the city. and one of them being new leaf, to the tender loin center and the medical clinic and so with this influx of people coming here i see more budget happening and banning people from sleeping in the parks and so it seems like, rather than helping people you are finding ways to criminalize them and a lack of funding. and i just want to address that you know, affordable housing and it just comes back to

affordable housing and unless we have affordable housing in the city here, we are just creating a revolving door and these people are just going to end up back on the street. so, and i think that, and i think that the representatives that are here to represent the gay lgbtqs in the community need to do that and have your priorities right and condos should fall somewhere far below that. and i don't see that. i see a lot more condos going up but i don't see any affordable housing going up. and so i think that the priorities is a big issue here. and so, i would really like to see that starting to be addressed here in the city, thank you. >> thank you. >> and as the next speaker comes up, speaker cards,vyer gill, east and isabel and karera and adele carpenter.

and jw from market street and isaac langford. >> and let me know when to start >> go ahead. >> i am a long time san francisco resident, and also i am currently fighting an eviction from 1049 market street. and for the past years, many young people have to live at home with their parents, because they can't afford to get their own place to live in this country. and if a kid is kicked out of their home, because they are lgbtq and they are suddenly homeless, and in today's job market that is practically a death sentence for them. and the homeless people sleeping there over night and a number of them are youth and to walk to the work from the district and my job at 13th and full so many there are homeless people all over the place.

i have them the resources for the homeless as much as i can and i give them change and sometimes i give them food and chat them up. but the city has more resources than i do, in the much greater quantity and faster than what the mayor is currently planning and the city of san francisco could do so much with just the right attitude and there is always resource and people that you have heard from today that we are ready to do it. kefl has been in the top ten economies of the world and the state is as rich as any country in the world in the top ten and

15. the youth that are kicked out of their home and again i am homeless and so i like how market street is a safe haven to the lgbtq community, and also, it helps, all kinds of homeless youth like stabilize, and like the diamond youth shelter and the larkin, and the

ga house. and i think that they need to be notified of larkin street and this calls for san francisco and it is recently visited with los angeles, and over there, and that is the huge issue and i feel like it needs to be over there and the homeless youth and in los angeles and san francisco. but, since going and it costs a lot of money and i have to say that san francisco should donate their money to eliminate the homeless views in the next five years. and so hopefully california can improve on that. thank you. >> thanks very much.

>> next speaker, please? >> >> i have been homeless. and here is my house. >> and this is... and he saw the conditions in which i live

with my children. and i hope that he is able to share what he witnessed. >> [ speaking in a foreign language ] and especially for all of the homeless children, and the gay community.

>> and to offer them housing. >> thank you. >> >> thank you, very much. >> and next speaker, please? >> and thank you much for all of the work that is provided for in this issue and about the and about the lgbtq people. and all of the homeless children in san francisco, and so, when i give you one more. and the last, and the recommendation that i want to give you to everybody and all of the people in san francisco is first, we will have to put in all of the full attention and all of the homeless, and

all of the children. and so, why, because? all communities in need and there is a lot of education and all communities, and they need a lot of consciousness, and to understand. we have to work and rather we have to, put in all of the people and in the money and the mayor, to put in more money so that we will have the housing for all of the youth. and so, when i am sharing with you, one experience, and so i would like my wife, and my wife, and she is a teacher and in the valley and the high school, and she is teaching the high school students, and when she is doing this and they are doing it in the school, and to

the youth, and that they need to be able and to have a group of youth and that they will have with the school and they will know what i am talking about and they are going to be 200, and they are in the school and they know what i am talking about and there is only, there is one, who is taking the lid and creating the group was my wife. and they, and in this school. and so... >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> and good afternoon, and i am a licensed street youth and i would like to begin my time by speaking about the age of 17 and in 2007, and that the economy was on the decline and it was to receive, the high school and proceed to a college education and i would like to

make it clear that there are barriers to the dem graphics that i represent, and and the youth that have never had a mother or a father. i grew up with my grandmother and passed away, and i tried from 17 to 21 to go to college and get an education and there were barriers and she passed away and i became homeless. if you have the services that are available to you and, there is a cut off and there are also the transitional services that help to do it to move forward.

thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> >> good afternoon, and my name is pw and i am with the youth experience on homelessness and i stated to walk in and it is just a lot of recollections of the government and the example will be the line change from 940 to 730 and quiet hour, created and complications and made it very and more difficult for the people to get it on the smaller space.

they should be the ones to regulate and make the rules and not the government entity. and a while ago, mr. com, spoke about kind of the paperwork that we need for the housing and let's cut this paperwork down and there is no need for this and the housing is a right not a privilege, and let's create more housing. and let's also create an open home program and the homeless to gain on it. and renovating them and turning them into homes for themselves. and let's a policy and for the tax incentives to keep the buildings vacant and where does all of the money come from? look for further than federal government. there is always money for foreign aid and to the other country. and until then there is just a approve and over a billion dollars, for next year.

the war to be won is the war on poverty and homelessness. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> and still, good afternoon, supervisors my name is adele and i am a staff member, at the san francisco youth commissioners and i know that they are looking forward to joining you on the special order this afternoon to speak about the priorities and answer more questions but i did want to write a few things and during the item that you are working on that are particularly relevant to addressing the housing needs among transitional aged youth and they are working with supervisor avalos's office to implement chapter 12 n of the city's administrative code which is the ordinance that requires, youth serving city staff as well as contractors to be trained in the lgbtq competency and in addition to that the youth commissioners will like to see the development of the trainings resourced and as well as the city departments to begin

including sexual orientation and gender identity in the intake to track the out comes for lgbtq youth and the youth commissioners for the last few years have been advocating of course, for to meet the full time, unit goal for the housing plan, and that was meant to be completed by 2015 and we have the youth town hall and affordability this month and 60 people attended and we have that, and they are working on the full report that a few of the recommendations that came out about that, which actually increased the less resource and reports for the young people who are encountering a possible eviction and the rental subsidies as well as just, undertaking efforts to educate the young people and the transitional aged youth on the housing and tenant rates and it will be happy to see the level of planning and coordination that the city has taken on in bringing the leadership. and they would like to see the industry increase in the investment by including the pay

in the upcoming children's legislation as well as that creating our bridge and to take effect and on may 5th, with the motion of support for the proposal for the transitional youth and the executive director in accordance with the tay sf priorities. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please? >> good afternoon, i am the lgbtq conference, of the harvey milk democratic conference theme. and for the june 14th, conference at the lgbtq center is housing and healthcare for all. and you hear that the housing is first. and because it is primary issue but many of us know that the

many lgbtq folks healthcare is tied to housing. we can't just relocate without consequences and this is especially true for hiv, and aids survivors. the great fear for those of us who used here in the 60s and 70s to san francisco is our current displacement. we are living now in the affordable housing, and we fear losing that sense of security and well-being due to eviction. and the high rate of eviction is in district eight and puts us as a district in crisis, it

sometimes results in such despair that suicides result and we really need the stronger eviction protection and prevention. and lgbtq seniors are vulnerable and scared, we heard harvey milk say in 1978, hope, you can do this. thank you. >> >> thank you, next speaker, please? >> hello, my name is isaac, and i would like to share some or a story out of my life. and i have been living in san francisco for about a year and a half now. and so, i have been helping numerous amount of people get help for different types of

services. but i feel like there is no services for me because i am on social security and i tried to look for apartments, and i got a job recently, but due to being homeless, was like, i have to get up at 6:00 in the morning every day from sleeping on the concrete to going to living with different friends and it makes it different to work and the job was firing the people and so on social security is easier and so i decided to stay on social security and so i tried to look for housing because the first and coming up and so i have been looking for housing and i just gave up because i can in the find any type of houseinging

>> line up on the side and we will be wrapping up the public comment soon. >> i don't know much about the politics or statistics. i do know that what i have been experiencing in homelessness has been and getting help from the drop in centers and i feel like you guys have been a big help and there are things that you can work on and i feel like it is that, and you know, it

was next speaker, please? >> >> and four weeks and i am on the larkin street youth services. >> pull it up if you speak into the mic. >> hi, i am victoria weeks and i am in the larkin street youth services and when i first got into san francisco i came for school, and when i became homeless i did not know any services that i could use, and i have heard about it and i was in a group home in sacramento. and that is how i found out about this service and i believe that to help the kids get off of the streets and for the adults we need to pass around the message and let there be known that there is hope. and there is housing, food and shelter, and thank you, that is it. >> thank you, next speaker, please?

>> yes, my name is kevin, williams and how are you doing, today? >> and yeah, i would like to, you know, and i am, not from san francisco, and from california, and you know, and i would like to just, you know, and..., (inaudible) and you know from being homelessness. and yeah, it is a... and it is a... it is a, you know, it is a struggle being homeless but you know that it is something that we have to go through because it is part of living. and you know, it is like, you know, you know, i want to focus on the people that you know, bothered like other people and like, or the log instead, and because you know that some people they come in the city and they start terrorizing the city and that is what happened, and that is why, you know, some people get all of mixed and something like that but you know, i see that it happens very much but the people that lives in the out skirts of san francisco and they come in the city and start to terrorize the

city and start the burglaries and and the hate crimes and that is where you will get all of your rapes and murderers and all of that, and the shooters and killers. but i would like to see a bill, and the done and get the housing and let them come back in the city and you know tha, is a problem there, because they come and terrorize the city and you know, i would like to see that and because you know, you are in the homeless person and you know, there is not an average right person to start with and so you know, and i am disco and you know, i want to see that happen. and you know, thank you. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker, please? >> thank you, supervisors and

everyone, assembled and all that i can say is that this would be a... and it is just basically the crux of it is dollars and cents and the city is growing, and tolerance and it is acceptance of all types, and there is, or definitely is dollars but now we need to match it with cents. and a good lady about the paperwork, and if you will increase, and know that, and the employee the supervisors to increase your digital presence and see how something like this in a tablet, and $256 e-bay with a pen, and if you have application forms that you can fill out on the party and have the keep the records of it and you will have to take it as well as scaring people away, and secondly, and the shoe box unit paradigm and it is critical and it is very, very very important the novelty that

it takes to build it up here. 500 or less, and in the temporary, and so the people will be housed and given them, and if not and something vocational that can give them for four or six months. and it will be allowed to earn much more than the 500 or 800 for a studio and that can be done and so i will ask the supervisors to talk to the people and the ellison or page and all of those people that want to comment, and the city, to offer them even an incentive. and to fund this type of housing because the people are in pain. and the people are in pain, and thank you. >> >> thank you. and are there any other members
