members. >> we went on a diet. >> did the mayor wish to appoint anymore. also i notice on the looking on the forward calendar nothing mentioned about the very important senate bill 1404 that relates to the issues you've talked about housing. this is quite interesting and quite how can i put it in a way that we the community have to lobby not in this hall but in the state capitol with governor jerry brown because it looks like he'll be around if for the fourth time in a row but audio effectively this 1404 obviously is going to be in the business

of mayor ed lee and what he's doing now but the bottom line i think there should be a special hearing on this in the community for which this impacts the communities. on another keynote i'm sure you're aware of check our history i've been here requesting this commission come to the western edition to talk about the obligation and it's been i don't know why it's been hesitant but here president you've got hoof history in the western edition that will be appropriate that before this thing comes up i think you need to come to the community and hold the meeting right in the middle of our community so we'll have some empathy so this is on

urban renewal i'm respectfully requesting that and let us come to you guys and do a presentation like everyone else to really show what we have been impacted by the urban renewal. as and mentioned before i am redeadlocking all my energy to put documents to assimilate to the world what i've viewed for the last 25 years a that's why i have not been here but when i took a break to put this together the game changes constantly here you call city hall i call is silly hall. >> thanks. any others speakers >> no altercated speakers.

(sirens). i'm going to wait. so first i would like to say thank you very much to

mayor lee for joining us today. thank you. we have supervisor jane kim. thank you for being here. we have the housing and community development. there he is. hi olson. we have tiffany from the office of community investment and infrastructure. we have bank of america here and merrill lynch and i want to say a special thank you to bank of america for sponsoring this event today so we can celebrate. we have a board member that hasn't hasn't arrived yet. is dennis here? this is a well designed building that fits into this urban care. there are things

that you might not know that i will share with you today and you may have all of this history. this site used to be a good will warehouse and damaged in the 89 earthquake and was vacant for a long time. in about 2007 the parcel was programmed for affordable ownership housing but unfortunately because of the economic downturn and the mortgage melt down it was reenvisioned and fortunately then into affordable rental housing. that was coupled with the incredible demand for renters in the city of san francisco and allowed the project to move forward. the site is very small. you wouldn't quite know it considering there are 50 affordable units on this site but it's over a quarter of a

acre, .27 acres and shaped like a t and wide top and skinny handle and from a design point of view it's challenging and from a staging construction view difficult. we're lucky and grateful to the team that met the challenges and came up with an amazing design and able to build the building and i don't know if you know this but we're excited they were honored with innovation award with design build issues and i have to say that was an incredibly well deserved award and congratulations to the team for getting that award. [applause] so demand for rental housing in san francisco really all of the bay area but especially san francisco continues to sky rocket. our leasing team receives more than 2800 applications for the 60 units

here and while we are excited to welcome the 60 households that are residents here our work is not done. there are many, many households searching for affordable housing opportunities here in san francisco. but again as i say we're very excited about our new residents and in fact you will be hearing from one of wally gilbert and tell about the importance and for the residents this is making a tangible difference everyday. affordable rents means that families can pay for other essential items such as food, health care, transportation, education, child care and this is really important of course for the residents but it's really important to us as well. our work goes beyond the bricks and mortar and even though it's

a beautiful building we're proud you but this is opportunities to connect with each other and programs and service that help them thrive so with that on with the program. it is my pleasure to introduce the next speak are, the executive director of the san francisco community and investment and infrastructure tiffany boheath. [applause] >> thank you anne. i am thrilled to join all of you this morning as we commemorate the shared vision, mission and valued. this incredible housing department for 60 low income families located in the heart of soma is really a testament to that shared vision. it is has been 20 years since we first acquired this site for affordable housing and through the last seven years and bridge has been our partner to build

these homes to stabilize lives and improve this neighborhood by doing so. 474 that toma wouldn't have happened without the leadership and support of our mayor, mayor ed lee. the mayor set a city wide goal of 30 housing units by 2020 with the majority of the homes within reach of lower and middle income families. with this development and the other city funded developments [inaudible] also by bridge down the road and trans bay and hitler gardens in district 10 the city is well on the way to meeting that goal and this is no accident. this is due to the mayor's commitment and tireless effort that will help ensure san francisco remains a vibrant city for all san franciscans. i want to acknowledge and thank kim ki

-- supervisor kim and this is backed by her vision and leadership by the district supervisor that we push ourselves and we push our development partners like bridge to provide quality housing for those in need. certainly we owe a tremendous thank you to bridge. it's been a long and windy road when you were selected as developer in 2007 but it was worth it as we stand here today. working through the complex process and san francisco and the economy was wavering then demonstrates your commitment to affordable housing that improves the economic status of residents and advance the revitalization of this 6th street corridor. certainly this day wouldn't be possible without the advocacy and the stewardship

of the south of market project committee and i'm not sure if i see any members here today but really unsung heroes. without them our community partners in this district we wouldn't be here today. they supported the former redevelopment agency's efforts really to develop in the last 10 years many units of new construction, the plaza apartments, even rehab hotels in san francisco. it's really because of their stewardship and advocacy and certainly i wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the work and dedication of the commission of community investment and infrastructure, our chair is here today along with our commissioner and former redevelopment commissioner. today would not have happened and our district 6th representative commissioner as well. thank you commissioners.

today would not have happened without the commission's work and dedication to building sustainable and thriving communities. consistent with the commission's objectives and goals 474na toma provides needed housing and create jobs for san franciscans. i am proud to say this development with bridge and contractors have achieved business participation for the professional services contract and well over 1/3 of the very people working on this building are from san francisco, and certainly lastly i would like to acknowledge, and i know there is an acknowledgment component as part of the program but these folks that worked tirelessly day to day on the city side deserve acknowledgment and we wouldn't be here without olson lee who serves with the mayor lee of community development. i think you involved with this for 20

years -- 18 years. pretty close. i think that takes it and the mayor lee staff and kevin, anne romero and takes a village at least on the city side because it's taken so long and our housing staff, george bridges with contract compliance and focialer agency staffers who aren't here today and deserve a shout out and michelle davis and others and certainly i see my colleagues in the city and paula johnson from the mayor lee on disability and she did the disability check on this building, certainly a labor of love and because of the mayor's charge our director has his hands full but he moved this along and certainly the planning department which permitted it and i want to thank you all the for your participation and i will introduce our site

development leader with bank of america. [applause] >> good morning. what a beautiful day for our grand opening. i am ari. i am here representing bank of america merrill lynch that invested in the land of over $32 million to make this beautiful, beautiful project. i would like to thank bridge housing for your hard work on this, the community on office investment and infrastructure -- did i get it right? >> [inaudible] >> the city of san francisco, and the many, many organizations and people that worked tirelessly to get this beautiful project built. today we're celebrating 60 new homes that will be permanently affordable to the great and diverse

residents of san francisco. bank of america believes that we are better when we are connected and it's true. we are better, stronger city. we live not only next to the founder who created a huge company or the software engineer that works there or the lawyers or the bankers but also next to our teachers and our firemen and the many families who are having a hard time living in this extraordinarily expensive city. that is why we at bank of america are one of the largest investors and lenders into affordable housing. just here in san francisco for the past 10 years bank of america has invested over $400 million and 27 projects to make this a better city. those

investments have leveraged over 1.2 billion dollars, created $54 billion in jobs for people that live here. the bank supports the mayor's vision of building many more units in san francisco including 10,000 permanently affordable units, and we look forward to working on the preservation aspect of that plan also. i am personally happy and honored to serve on the mayor's task force and we work to innovate and build those 30,000 units. we are honored to work with amazing organizations like bridge housing and the many people here that built this housing and do the good work and fight the good fight so congratulations on building these 60 wonderful homes, and i look forward to many, many more grand openings, and now i would like to invite and the reason why we built this housing wally

cancer. before that we were living a block away from here in a room or a shared place with a friend. i kept praying for a place of my own where i could enjoy some peace and quiet and privacy. when i had opportunity to move in this building it was an answered prayer. i went to the door of my new apartment for the first time and i had ashes of my husband. i cried and i cried, but they were tears of joy. everything is here. i can walk to all the places i want to

go to, to the church, to the farmers market, and to the main library. thank you for everything you have done to make this happen. this is the best place i ever lived. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you loli for your account. it really makes our job so much more meaningful hearing stories like yours. good morning. i am project manager at bridge housing. thank you for taking time today to celebrate the successful completion of the beautiful development. this development
