living on the street i got to tell you also that google has been an amazing i really personally or presenter they've stepped up to the plate and say what did you need to san francisco we want to volunteer and contribute whatever it takes to be a real community patron and it is contributing money but their employees are getting involved their employees are volunteering and making commitments to our school our children and future they need the support the most and there's no way in a city like san francisco any of our kids should be sleeping on the street this is why this is so amazing and important i'm so grateful hands up and larkin street another organization many my district that has done amazing

programs for that kids that end up running away in the hate street area and larkin can support and work hard to support them those are the programs on the front line that's why the funds are important they need to increase their capacity to help more of our young people on the street mr. mayor unless just really an amazing day i'm so honored to serve as a member of the board of supervisors growing up in human being housing u publics i public housing and now make policies to get our families off the streets into homes i'm grateful to google and supervisor kim for the work and grateful to bev and almost daily with a question for support for family or a homelessness individual together go we can change homelessness in our city

homelessness in 10 years and continues to have a place 0 go to his website and see what he's doing we are blessed to have the leadership of supervisor jane kim thank you (clapping.) >> i think during the holidays and mr. taylor as the cold weather approaches homelessness continues and increases on the minds of so many of us in the elected offices that are responsible and other to every individual that lives in san francisco just last week we had a family that we're familiar with that called to let us know she was going to get evicted and homelessness she didn't know where to go those calls are the hardest is wantonness that offices handle a couple weeks before that an individual called me and worked in south of market

and walking down the street and saw a mom and child open the street he took them into his car and drove them in the city from shelter to shelter he called at 10:00 p.m. he was frustrated he couldn't get the mom and child off the street there was so many partners we're announcing today are incredibly beneficial to the families we want to reach i believe that the city has done a lot to address homelessness and particularly homelessness families we're seeing in the mrarlg particulars the numbers continue to increase it account close to two hundred plus kids homelessness and we know that homelessness amongst families is increasing we have to continue to do foremosttion stunning

about this we have not done in this between hampton and the family services and the district we take for granted what our institutions provide and the partner important walk around certifies when justin and i spoke earlier about the partnering that hampton is gone and our teachers and the counselors councils calling him the first time they're to help students without homes those are the most regarding families beyond the home you think about every aspect that a child showering in a sing and finding clothes with are clean to go to school all of those things matter in a child's education and hampton will help see teacher to provide the resources

to truly be able to help our families is incredibly important you know we i really excited that people choose to participate with two partners sheryl listen and justin around the issues of homelessness when we looked the other policies there are two amazing organizations that serve our youth and families $2 million is going to go a long way for us to improve security amongst the families and great to have new leaders and partners with hands up it is a new company that came up encouraging in particular all individuals if the sector to go into public service i when i saw hands up two years ago i thought how we can address the social

issues no our city and often come up kind of speak also but when hands up came up with the stories directly to our residents and offering our residents a way to help each individuals that is really exciting we have an incident we have a child he wasn't homelessness but lives on treasure island and one of the needs was deferences and dental care we do provide through our low income system but hands up raised the money to get the deferences and it's amazing to see her smile and carrying her son at&t park and coming to our office and be able confident speaking with other adults to advocate for her son thank you to bufferin and our mayor to

make sure that we are also looking for new things to help our families this you initiative. >> the supervisor kim said she's as comfortable standing in is shelter or in the town mar mentioned this person has worked at the board of supervisors from mayor brown and george moscone and the rec and park department and we're glad she's shepherding subcontractors with the state government we have justin steal the portfolio manager for bay area and hayes
