9:20 am
hearing on educational and support services for unaccompanied immigrant children presentations from the san francisco unified school district and department of public health and human services agency and family and children services regarding educational services and support services from provided to increased numbers of unaccompanied immigrant children arriving in san francisco. >> thank you mr. clerk. i won't repeat what i said. it's estimated to the department of homeland security thousands of children have fled to the united states a substantial increase from prior years and estimated that the number of children entering the united states will exceed 60,000 individuals with 200 to 400 youth crossing the border each day. san francisco has been a city of refuge for
9:21 am
those escaping violence and at san francisco high school one of the schools in san francisco that welcomes youth that recently immigranted into the country has sursurpassed 25% of the enrollment. i hope we can get a clear sense of the resources available from the city and the school district and get clarity on whether specific resources should be houses and whose jurisdiction as well as specific expertise is most helpful. i want to recognize lonnie kent from the mayor's office who is coordinating efforts among the city departments and targeted this issue as a top priority so i want to invite her up first to start off the hearing and again you will have two minutes. we will sure to interject with some questions along the presentation. thank you. >> great. thank you for having
9:22 am
me. so i think maybe to add one wrinkle to this is sunny was supposed to up load the presentation so i didn't bring it with me. >> oh actually she doesn't -- do you have -- >> i don't. >> we normally ask folks to bring it on their own. [inaudible] yeah. she normally doesn't do that, sorry. >> [inaudible] >> okay. well, we can if you like go to ken epstein and max from department of public health first better. >> i can grab it. >> but if you want to make some introductory remarks you're welcome to do that. >> i will do that.
9:23 am
>> [inaudible] >> sorry for the confusion. i will take blame for a rookie mistake so i will go ahead and just do a quick introduction so in response to the request the work group, the city work group that we have been working together put together this presentation to provide you guys with an overview of what the city has done to respond, and then also has looked specifically at some of the questions of how we are specifically coordinating with the school district. so what i do want to talk about before we kind of dive into the details is the way as the city family, the way we have come together to talk about this is we talk about this as a developing story. we don't think it's over. when we
9:24 am
meet from one week to the next many items changed so we learned to be nimble. we expect that we will see between 300 to 500 children by the end of the calendar year so the plans efforts have been around that. the direction from the mayor has been that our leaders, advocates, city employees and members of the community must continue to help the children feel welcomed here in san francisco. this isn't something we do once but need to continue to working on it and we need to stay engaged. this will continue to -- this situation will continue to develop i think in november it will change again once the federal government starts to reengage so i just brought some quick steps. california by the end of august from january 1 to august 31 has
9:25 am
seen 4680 children placed here. 208 of those have been to san francisco so we received between four and 5% of all placements. the trend has slowed in terms of children crossing at the border, so we expect the trend of children coming to the city to also slow down. i just want to talk briefly about what the mayor has done so far, his leadership and advocacy on this issue. back in june he hosted a briefing at city hall for leads and community leaders to and san francisco to be part of the solution. it put us in a good space with one of the federal partners and we reached out to talk how to work together opposed to some of the negativity they're receiving. the mayor traveled to san francisco on numerous occasions starting in july to emphasize
9:26 am
the state leadership and legal representation. this is before the rocket docket established. he saw this coming and was having the conversations early on. he joined other mayors across the state and penned a letter to the federal government he believes that all local jurisdictions should be responding proactively and embracing the children as they arrive in their cities and continues to be a liaison to state and federal representation and the white house in forums and engagement so there is constant dialogue going on. what we're seeing from the community members and what we seeing is constantly being translated up and we're looking forward to hearing something back from them, so that's kind of -- from a leadership and advocacy standpoint kind of what the mayor has been doing and he asked for city coordination which all of the folks in this room today and what they have
9:27 am
been working hard at. we had several meetings mostly to share information and our resources are available to meet the specific needs of the children in a culturally competent way so we have been having this dialogue and again it's ongoing and changes from week to week in terms what we need to do and we have a good handle on it but for a while it was keeping each other informed. our department heads met with legal providers early on. we wanted to make sure if we have resources available in the city that we are making them available to them which includes kind of how to engage with families that have been through trauma, any other needs that the children might have and my colleagues will be able to talk more about what came out of that meeting and finally adriane will talk about this, but we also created a low resource guide for services specific to the
9:28 am
children and not just any immigrant children but for this particular surge so that's kind of been a kickoff to this collaboration and then all of our collaborators are here to tell you specifically what they have been working on. >> just a quick question. i assume that the brochures for the youth are in languages? yes. in the news we primarily talk about central american youth crossing the border unaccompanied with adults. do we know of other youth coming here in the same fashion? >> i haven't talked about it specifically with the office of refugee resettlement and we have been focused on this but that's a good question. >> okay. thank you. so following the presentation we do have ken epstein and max rosha
9:29 am
from the department of public health and for the members of the public who are following it will be followed by a presentation by the human services agency and then we have sfusd and brian hsu from the mayor's office on housing and community development and civic engagement and affairs. i wanted to note that the director of cyf maria su will be available for questions during the presentation so thank you. >> thank you commissioners and supervisor for this hearing. i am representing barbara garcia and the department of public health. i am ken epstein and the director of children youth and families and have max, the deputy and as well as christine the director from family services and i want to start by saying that we all know that the
9:30 am
experience of the refugee children crossing the border starts in their home, continues to their crossing and ends up in the stay here and each episode is filled with health and mental health and other concerns that lead to extraordinary trauma around the crossings and we have been hearing the stories over and over again. in terms of the health department we were called together to coordinate our services and basically we have put our efforts into two main bucketets. one is service coordination and the other is service capacity via primary care and other specialty services and what we mean by that is the decision was and is that ree is a safety net available to youth and the young people and their families we wanted to make sure they could access the serv
