federal money that comes in after year one. >> the leasing costs are annual the way that the value works is they set their fair market value every year so for this year we know there fair market value rent is we can go up every year hud resigns the value around 2 percent and is that accurate an sro but those sro's have a bathroom in he each unit and other amenities but for an average in chinatown or the tenderloin or the mission what is an average sro rent. >> supervisor as i think is also noted in the report the range we're seeing in our older
9:01 am
master leases that have been before the board have 4 hundred to $700 per unit hover those are often based on deals that were struck as the year 2000 and the renewals were not a reset to the ami reflatter so if we went out to the marketplace today with a sro facility and had to raise it the seven hundred number maybe the down side it would be higher the board knows the dynamic in the marketplace whether sro or the r m b amenities that's a dynamic that's changing the sro market and the numbers even though this is a master lease
9:02 am
not to value. >> just a layperson could you define what an sro is if it has a bathroom is still can be a single room occupancy 50 that's a defines between a studio and what is a amenity being the restroom and enough power for a micro wave that's the difference between a studio those numbers as i think are in the report are over $2,000 per month per unit that's a big gap between where we're another we're in the reasonable place given the unique nature of the facility and the capital renewal gives us a facility and reduction in what we expect to see in maintenance and repair. >> so ms. freed of the veteran
9:03 am
population i know for people that live in sro's there's a large number that are seniors with disabled among the veteran homeless population are those numbers higher curious out of the veteran homeless population. >> the colleagues from the va can speak to that but, yes we find because of the population we're looking for the folks with acute needs they all have a disabled whether mental or physical this building has two elevators. >> colleagues www.drnpa.org. >> on page 16 we note that including the rents and additional costs ftsdz utilities
9:04 am
the total cost to the city are $27 million plus that's over the 10 year term of the master lease that's shown in table 3 on page 16 of our report on page 17 we report that the proposed resolution states that quote the master lease rate for the property has been determined no greater than the fair market value and the first year rent of 1 thousand plus per unit or one million dollars $82,000 plus was based on negotiations between the real estate division and the landlord the for all for the property was difficult to evaluate towards the bottom of page 17 as supervisor mar mentioned the proposed rent 6 is one thousand
9:05 am
$190 for sro unit the most in the first year which is $399.54 percent more than the unit per month master lease between dph and the landlord hotel at 7:30 ellis street they can't recommend approval at this time because the board of supervisors nor the budget analyst has been given specific time to evaluate the terms, however, in the board of supervisors didn't approve the master lease the city will losses many units and hud funding dollars.
9:06 am
>> okay. thank you, mr. rose and to our team for that report colleagues any questions ms. freed to clarify i know this is a short timeframe it is not what we want to see but understand this is a time pressure with the federal dollars and my understanding they have actually pulled their support for projects already based on the timelines the threat is clear we will loss our funding. >> hud released a selection we submitted on application for the project and were awarded one of the conditions is being in contract with the housing authority by october 6th they pulled the award for another

this town and one of the things that struck b me about come back to san francisco was the lack of care if you don't care enough for veterans today then authorities bigger problem you're going to face later is what are we're going to do about them until we do something about the homeless vet then the problem that ms. city and counties around the nation there is no one that the veterans feel like they can go to they go to the streets and end up in prisons and jails we can stop it we can do it today by offering the veterans a place to stay i wouldn't be able to live in the city i was born in without the hud system i couldn't afford it i plead with you taking into consideration that by the went
