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 82 you did refer this to the outreach other than through community organizations attorneys there's really no disconcert outreach >> the most important outreach when those people get their lecture notice their finding about the preference because very there to inform them.

>> the landlord has to to the tenants there's this program you may not be to quality for . >> they a have a certainty amount of time. >> what's the average. >> you know what vanessa. help me out how long do they have once they get their notice of intent before they have to be out? >> so they have a little bit of time and look for another. >> - and enter the lotteries we find they're entering the lotteries. >> they have to qualify for all the requirements. >> exactly just like the cop people. >> if they don't qualify for the next one they can apply

again. >> yes. until they use the certificate. >> it's only used ones either a rental or purchase. >> we're applying they wrote into the owners it is part of the down payment assistance home if they want to use the down payment assistance we'll give them the priority in the funded. so >> that's a lot of handholding you have to do well, right now you have 82 that could increase. >> the 82 is probably we've only been in business since april. so i think that is going to be the biggest push there were a lot of people waiting for this. we were told to go back to january 1st, 2012, toe people

that were evicted back that far so, you know, we had a waiting list of like about 40 people 0 who were waiting for the program that had already been evicted since april. on an ongoing basis there are not will like next year we'll not see 82 people with the requested certificates it's gng to slow down if we had 10 a month that will be a lot >> i have some more questions i want to understand the numbers whether 82 or 10 we're not talking about individuals but households. >> we're talking about individuals because we're

counting the individual certificates but those individuals might be part of a households that's moved in. >> like a family. >> absolutely. a parent with kids absolutely. do we know when we say 10 participants that is 10 households >> well, we, found out that's very good. roadway it is 10 certificate holders but we can easily find out how many people are in the households >> yeah. because the others issue i read the attachment that came from the planning department and i don't know if you can speak to this but what jumped out at me on 5 it says on november 5, 2013, mow cd has conducted 7 lotteries in 2013

including 7 lotteries for 3 thousand applicants only 17 with or cop holders for the unites when i looked at the 17 and hear of the number you've he presented 17 hundred it's kind of raises in my mind a small percentage of cop holders are partnering and why is that. and then i don't will i support of the ellis act i'm worried about that that the ellis act preference came in practical terms trumpet the cop program >> yeah. but it won't. >> why. (laughter) here we go. so without giving you a full report on cop stuff we're looking forward to providing for you soon. the cop holders that we are

working with and brooke barker is here. there are various reasons why they won't prefor one property or qualify for individual properties. and some of it is eligibility some of that at the don't meet the developers eligibility criteria. and others have preference or choice they don't want to apply for some of the inclusionary opportunities that are available. we can - we are working on creating eligibility requirements that are across the board in the mayor's office of housing and community development propes
