update on the certificate of classification. will it be improved a lot better >> no. we're about to do a presentation on another item related to the fact and we'll touch deeper on the co p program. >> certainly hass as part of the mou as the mayor's office 90 days after project lisa is a report that the mayor's office of housing i community development prepares we transfer it to the commission and, of course, the annual reporting on the overall marketing so the next meeting we'll check on how we're all doing. >> we and i'm not sure you're the person to answer this but on attachment b we've received the

names and the fees associated with the professional service containments on the project and i'm just wondering is it possible i think i've asked this before to have an identification of the m b e category by ethnicity so i'd like to be responsive to the concerns we hear that african-americans are not working on or having access to contracting opportunities on our jobs based on the report we've received that is not an accurate assessment but if we had information with the items we will be better informed is that possible. >> yes certainly even though our program is targeted at the small businesses to the extent we have the information through

our database and a and other verifyable sources we provide thatblast whether it's an m b education on the documents we will provide that information. >> thank you. >> i don't have my specific questions do we have a motion. >> commissioner singh moved. >> commissioner mondejar second. please call roll >> please announce our vote. commissioner mondejar. commissioner singh. commissioner rosales. madam chair the vote is 3 i's >> that item passes. next item please. authorizing the preference and successor of affordable housing

to the extent that the preference is consistent with an enforceable obligation and applicable laws discussion and action for 2014 madam director >> thank you madam secretary commissioners and members of the public thank you, again, for joining us this item is recommended to a proposal for the commission to adapt an ellis act policy a separate entity if this office we've adapted a polar to give a preference for people who have been displaced because of ellis act evictions in response to the mayor's office of housing and itself community development we have reviewed that proposal their implementation manual and proposed a policy change for your consideration that relates

to provide ellis act folks with other enforceable obligations i want to ask jeff white the housing manage to start off the presentation and joined by another colleague. >> great, thank you director bohe we've got here today, we're going to give you a presentation the mayor's office of housing affordable housing unit maria is going to describe the reason the city has taken action around the ellis act and going to she'll describe how the city is going about implementing that action and i'll come back and describe ocii implementations of a preference for the ellis act

evicted persons. >> maria. >> good evening. i'm marie a benjamin from the mayor's office of housing of community development. in december of last year oh, you'll help me >> in december even if this last year the mayor and board of supervisors intensified the assistance ordinance because of the rising race of evictions throughout the city due to the state law of the ellis act. and the ellis act is a way that a landlord who owns a rental controlled building can go out

of business in essence and evict the tenants that are living in the building and sell their building to a new landlord. what we found is that a lot of the companies that were selling the buildings were selling to an affiliate of their own company and to get out of the business of rent controlled landlord and the motivation is rents right now in this city between 28 for a one bedroom 28 hundred and 38 hundred almost $2,900 a month so there's an incentive for going out of the rent control landlord business. so the judge so you can see the rates of the ellis act evictions

one hundred and 70 percent in 2010. the overall eviction types went to 38 percent due to the market we're in. the home prices in 2010 went up 22 percent that increases the rent amazes e amounts in the city. this is hard to see between 197 and 2013 those are the ellis act evictions it's throughout the city. we believe on a per capita basis san francisco is the highest city with the highest level of ellis act evictions in the state so the mayor and board of supervisors put together this emergency displacements program unfortunately, the people that are being evicted are in rent control units and the rents were

$600 a month and evicted into a market of $3,000 a month. so it's very difficult for folks to find a place once their evicted from a rent controlled unit the mayor's office of housing of and development asked to look at the ellis act program that's why i'm here. we also implement the cortex o p program so it makes sense for us to dot ellis act. what do we do. first of all, i can't say enough or loud or strong enough that the ellis act housing program in a way impacts the cop certificate holder.

cop certificate holders still have the first preference throughout the city in all affordable housing units in all of the city sponsored units. those are also in our inclusionary program our affordable housing programs all of our affordable housing cop and certificate holders get the first preference. what we do we give ellis act housing preference holders that come after the cop program or other cites specific preferences that will come after those and before the general population or the san francisco residents. we - the board of supervisors and the christmasing committee that put together the eligibility requirements

recognizes that someone who moved into a unit their rents were high enough and probably able to make it in the market but people that have been in the unit for a longer are the ones targeted. so the program is that you have to have been in your unit for 10 years. we will also will allow you to be in the units years if you're disabled or have a doctor illnesses so it's for folks that a significa a significant impediment >> so this year we implemented the program in april of this year and went back to 2012 we were able to give certificates to anyone who was ellis act

evicted from january 12th through now. as of is end of last month we had issued 82 certificates these those are people that qualified for the ellis act program and of the 82 we've housed 10 people. there were over 8 hundred people from january 1st, 2012, to today that have actually received an protecting eviction but not everyone has applied for a certificate and not everyone is eligible. as a comparison we put the cop numbers this is a quick update on the cop program. it is still alive and going strong. we're still issuing certificates every month we're issuing certificates and issued in 2014 so since january we've issued 38

new certificate of preference program certificates. those are people not in the system before. there's over seven hundred active people in the on our list we send nos notices to people this year in 20140 we've housed 9 certificate of preference holders with more on lists that have not been listed but in buildings are leasing. this this is i'm going to turn it over to you. >> thank you. >> thanks maria i'm going to walk throw in about 4 sliced

more of the mechanics of how this is going to be applied. so i'll yeah. - if you have questions we'll go over that. the e i p doesn't apply to the assisted affordable housing projects currently didn't apply that's why we're requesting this now. and the mayor's office of housing and community development has are requested that ocii has a deep certificate holders in new affordable housing. and ocii affordable housing includes the ocii for the or otherwise subject to ocii enforceable obligations this is a inclusionary housing units. i think maria a touchdown on the e i p certificate is through the

mayor's office of housing so they'll be qualifying folks that are evicted. that certificate holders will come before the certificate of preference holder and before san francisco residents and workers. it applies to projects with at least 5 affordable units so something p had 4 units that wouldn't apply let's say their inclusionary it wouldn't apply to the units and then that applies to 20 percent of the affordable units in a project for example, a one hundred, one hundred affordable projects only 20 of those units can be accessed but is e i p certificate holders. the preference is lids on a

project by project basis to insure the consistent obligations and not apply if prohibited by state or federal funding sources or in violation of the applicable laws or enforceable obligations. the preference only applies to future projects would not apply to ocii accentuated housing projects with previous development approvals for example, a d b.a. loan, however, it would apply for example, to alice griffith phases one and two and that loan was approved by you in july but we have sxhertd language and the developer add that the commission chooses to adapt the

ellis act preference we'll include the preferences at alice griffith. the e i p is applicable with the loan agreements and ground leases all of which are subject to commission approval. per the housing prelims that ocii has with oc d mc d provides the marketing plan and so provides staff to implement the application of the ellis act housing preference. staff present this proposed inclusion of this preference in ocii assisted projects to c cac and hunters point shipyard and tb transbay and all were supportive of the proposal. so if approved today staff will

work with the developers to incorporate this into the document and in the plans that the ocii will review and approve. per the housing prelims mou they're required to provide marketing reports within 90 gais days of completion with the marketing prongs. that includes the information on the applicable applicants with religions to the ellis act so we'll get feedback send e at the end of the martha project. so consistent with the recommendation of the board of supervisors which consider the ellis act preference to be a temporary response to the housing country staff will review the ellis act prefrj

after 3 years and recommend to continue or rise or terminate the preference. that concludes my presentation. and maria and i can respond to our questions >> thank you. do we have any speaker cards >> we have one ace washington. >> mr. washington. >> i am quite puzzled by this whole situation this whole scenario of all the game changes here. from this redevelopment to the ocii from your former staffer olsen lee being on the oversight board that approves what you ail do yet he's involved with the mayor's office of housing he's involved with the mayor's office of housing community development.

well ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion my opinion means a hell of a low we have a situation here with the city and county seemed like they don't have enough people to do the things for the next year so search warrant you have is people in this administration that are playing triple and double rolls this needs to be sit down and analyzed so you'll come out to see something p is fishy if this city and county don't have enough money to get people into doing the same proms but you use the same people ero it didn't seem right human resources historically i'm looking you, you all have been changed from one capacity to another capacity and dealing with the mayor that is going to impact our community. we've got an oversight board

what does that economist of they have the most cancelations >> excuse me. my thoughts are number one if you break down the tree that is going on in san francisco particularly with the redevelopment agencies i guess i got to go so sacramento and get ahold of jerry brown and talk to mr. willie brown i'm so confused with what the hell the city government is doing and me being involved you've got those game changes to keep people off and now new staff it's heading up this program with the ellis act. let's go know the real facts it's okay that you staffers meet

on monday but itself history shows that something is going on what you're leaving out in the input of the communities and it will nip you in the butt. if you think i'm the only one that is clektd out >> any more speaker cards. >> no. >> do we have questions or comments from commissioners? commissioner singh would i like to start? >> you think it is a very good program. i like that and how long it takes to hospital all those guys 82 days >> i don't know if we'll ever house all of them but they have

unlike the program they can only use their certificate one time so depended on how urgent their need. i think we've housed 10 householders since january 2012 some of those folks are been couch to couch homeless and a lot of them are seniors. so we had a big pool of people to house at first on an ongoing basis some that folks have resources and wouldn't apply for the certificate and go off on their own but as long as we can keep our units coming i think we'll be able to put a dent in that. unfortunately a lot of the folks can't afford like cop holders can't afford the inclusionary

housing it's geared towards a higher income so they're waiting for one hundred percent affordable housing or housing that is based on thirty percent of their income rather than a set of rent. so, you know, so they'll waits for those unions as they become available but they'll face some of the same obstacles >> other things you said back there they're selling would this are corporation and selling the other are corporation is there something we can do about that. >> there was a lot of legislation at the state level that was proposed some not so successful and some still in question we'll see. mayor ed lee is this is something he's at the forefront of state level so hopefully

something will be done >> thank you. >> okay commissioner mondejar is deferring to my questions. i mean, i generally support of the item obviously. i'm just trying to make sure i said how it's going to work so i can explain it to others folks because i do know many people, in fact, who have been subject to ellis act evictions unfortunately, a long term residents and so i'm trying to get my arms around, if you will, the target population because i think so it's not everyone this is ellis acted but i'll call long term he residents or tenants 5 and 10 year do we have a handle on that number i mean with what the ellis act victims, if you will, what is the base number we'll be looking at and

we don't because the rent board those are privately owned buildings so the rent board doesn't have the data on who's in the building but they have data on the rents that are being charged and those kind of things but not the actual tenant until the landlord files the notice of intent to withdraw and all the rent board gets are the names of the tenants. we're finding that sometimes, the, you know, those people have been in the unit there are different tenants in the units that maybe the one person is still on the lease but their additional folks in the unit. and so we're working those people if they can approve they've been in the units for 5 or 10 years with a disabled and

document their pg&e bill or other tax returns or intent to kill anything that shows many say their addresses for 10 years they'll get a certificate your question is how many. you know, we don't know. we don't know >> does the information on the displaced tenants come through the rent board how do we know who to reach out. when a landlord files a notice of the president to withdraw the unit they have to send their tenants post on the building and send the tenants information about the ellis act. so that's how people know about and it's on our website the application is on our website. i neglected to introduce mr. -

we get a lot of calls from folks that are evicted she helps people to maneuver the process to see if they indeed quality >> those are notices in multiple language. >> yes. part of the requirements and the rent board is pretty good about letting us know we can sometimes tell from the location of the building when people call us we have to provide multiple languages sometimes and yeah. their supposed to send it out in multiple languages. >> is there part of the outreach if there's outreach collaboration with the community based organizations i know plenty in the mission that folks

gravitate to when they're facing evictions. >> we're connected with those communities based organizations, in fact, we've used their expertise in creating the procedures and policies they were a lot of agencies that were involved in the development of the ordinance with the board of supervisors and the mayor lee's. so they've been on the ground since the idea came back we're trying to get as much as we can out there and certainly all the tenants organizations and the counseling organization and he legal service providers are aware of the ordinance and send people to us all the time >> okay. great. do you have questions i have a few others >> so like commissioner rosales

i'm trying to understand the program. and so you're saying it is not going to apply to new housing can you explain that further >> well, it applies to null built housing only 20 percent of the units. >> only 20 percent. >> will be set aside. >> i mean say there's a building that has one hundred affordable units two scenarios one building with one hundred units and others certificate holders no certificate holders will get into the building our first priority is the c i p certificate holder but if we have a hundred units and set aside 20 and is there are 40

ellis act people for the 20 units there will be a loiter, of course, for those and they'll fill the 20 units and the rest will have to go back spot general population lottery and take their chances. >> and the second. >> that was the second if there's more cop holders then the ellis act don't get none but. >> but if no one qualify you can too the next holders. >> yes. >> i see what you're saying. so you said there were to day 8 hundred really you only issued
