way we should make go san francisco a restorative city. >> thank you right on. >> so without the known years - i have a couple of things to share first thing i hear over and over human services talking about they want to create a new rules what it means to create more rules we want to make more rules more rules to a single homelessness woman and lgbtq in the shelters no, we have to change those behaviors we need to do something different we have a have creativity with the voices of the people in the shelters to come together to tell us how we can put in a

resolve any issues inside the shelters we can't create rules anymore we needing need to stop and using those words again poor families and children's it is ineffective for me peppering i believe for that my workers' compensation who are homeless people and second thing i building my two coworkers jennifer and nick were talking about the friendship so there's no reason for mothers and children have to wake up at 6 o'clock it is cold in the morning we have to be a little bit human and understand this so i hear mr. joys to hear oh

we working to implement the rules i don't want the rules i don't want rules i want to have agreement and work together and like working together with you guys to put in disagreement and working forbidding the people that are homeless and the solution is housing thank you very much. >> hi, i'm dwayne aim i'm a community housing partnership formally was homeless and i urge you guys to follow through with that because i know people that are sick and in those places are getting shifted out and need the help and without those shelters i don't think i would have made so, please i urge you to support

this. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is do is james trashing from the community housing partnership i want to thank supervisors and supervisor kim and joys and the coalition of the homelessness for their awesome to create this and take a step back and go forward from here i'm sick of coming here i it's not that i don't enjoy our company but we need to look at we got rid of poverty and with all those efforts we put up aggregating and changing this great country but until that time as long as she recalls are necessary they should have the resources to heal and be a brief

step on the way to permanent housing so we pause the health dialog and bring more resources into the shelters when we receive people from the shelters and going 0 come into our permanent housing it makes a stronger community and people suffer less trauma and it is - i'd like to caution us about health it is not just health as in healing people that are already suffering when is half of preventing it from happening in the first place we know people that go through the system they are displaced through economics through secretions e evictions and loss have a job we don't want to construct a system for only those who are deemed bureaucraticly can assess housing and services in the

shelters but a system that makes sense for all thank you. >> hi, i'm with the community housing perspire i'm the community organizer the first time i spoke on lovbt issues in shelters when i was homeless in a shelter i was extraordinarily sick and dying with hiv i came up here and spoke i was couple of in the shelter the night preflg and i remember they were saying they were going to throw me out because i was loud you remember homelessness kits liquify expectancy by 20 years i'll call your attention to the issue that everyone that is in the shelter has a form of - homelessness cause post

traumatic stress disorder that causes conditions for people i'm hoping we can apply new resources and not new barriers for the people they have enough hoops to overcome we can bring the housing community together with the shelter community to work on the additional resources to build that community that will start helping people in the place they're at one of the ways to do that is looking at intercommunity peer partners to work on a stability for the shelters clients when we move on they have a foundation for stability thank you. >> hi.

>> (speaking foreign language.) >> i don't speak english i only speak spanish. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i've been living on the streets for the last two years. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> it is also rough and dangerous. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> last year, i lived in a shelter in jam there were a lot of rules that were retarded speeding i wanted to work, however, the rules of the shelter for bid me from doing so i worked or lived in the

very beneficial coming here today and allowing us the people that are living in the facilities to have a say so it plays a bigger part in our decision making the overall concept has changed i feel the money and precedence and time the main factors in this situation mainly you need to find order in our operations that is as a math concept simplifying the issue to make it easier if you're main issues what you type of people needs help the city has plenty of money there are putting signs where the dreams can happen you know there are winners and go big and i because we have the confidence as a city as a whole i feel like because you have

those different people that need to be tended to the staff can accommodate it so increase the staff make it happen we're pitting too much money into high-rise when we could you guys would not be in the panel if you didn't want something bigger this is one of the major aspects shelters are meant to be a flow not permanent it is temporary they could keep going keep it as an even flow those people need housing okay. those shelter are not meant to camp and post up for years a lot of those people view mlk and the elderly and transgender people and so many things that play a part you guys need to make it happen i have

the money. >> hello, i'm chris williams i'm grateful thank you for the opportunity to speak my story a brief i krienld across country to fight homelessness and hunger in the country i intend to make san francisco my new home my julian off point to pay it forward in my way i could using 38 my tenants of arts in the first few most i feel ill equipped in all fairness i've witnessed a desire to make a difference on both sides of the valuation i'm thankful for the programs you, however, i've witnessed the disparities and

the inconsistent sisters and the housing focuses and housing folks with more needs than an overnight bed and meals i can related the frrnz for the inconsistent search-and-seizure acids the exit plans and concert and quality of life scenarios and the activations but i believe this is not a place for the time sensitive femur furthermore i'll quote the charter and bar gravel failures but that's old news i'm homeless and tired as i speak i'm ill but i'm not deferred in continuing in my journey to wrestler that the inequalities and make a difference in the life of one more human being i believe the support services is one way to castle with the tide as the

human plot in an unprecedentcy of bans we don't need to rehash the old acronyms if you plan to fail we need action by passionate spirits that doing the right thing is more than a political karma but the right thing to do because it is the right thing to do period we need funding for the well trained and well paid resources required to effect real change thank you for your time and consideration. >> good afternoon. i'm mark ann anthony i was once homeless 14 years ago i can tell you horror stores in the shelters the staff was not formally

one won those are people that should be dealing with this i don't know if they even meet anymore so the other thing i'd like to continuance so we can where i know this back and get the information they say their giving and i think the other thing i'd appreciate if someone takes an action you're saying the schools could be cited it sound like joyce crumb is giving excuses that's my main problem do better to hope i mean put passion and concerns to help people live better give them tools to live their life better all we get is excuses i think we need to hear from the high team the high team are laying it down and doing it and it seems like they're very

important on this hearing i'm also concerned how this meeting was posted to my type of notice as to whether this was going on so i think i have thank you. >> can i mention the tech companies they're giving out they're giving out some monies for this i want the tech companies could be reminded to invest some money into our shelter systems. >> i apologize your time is up if you want to wrap up with our last sentence. >> this is probably a long photograph. >> you're welcome to submit our comments to members of the committee separately. >> i just i'd like to continuance so we can get to the solutions we need more people in the department of public health the department of human services

are that are serious more dehumanizetion kcmo from the department - >> thank you thank you very much. >> okay i don't see my other members of the public that want to speak so ask our vice chair if we can close public comment. >> public comment is closed. wanted to give time to colleagues to make my closings comments. >> thank you, supervisor kim and for her ongoing efforts around this very important issue i thank you the h s a and the department of public health for their presentation i know that ms. crumb and mr. walling ton are conscious and the last thing i'll is to the department of public health is that further analysis of the data that i have i think would be really helpful

and if there are ways to create additional strategies in terms of how to address the needs of the some of the populations is very helpful to i supervisor kim. >> thank you supervisor campos i just wanted to thank the members of the public that came today it was a lengthy hearing as also an important issue and an issue with a lot of different angles and i think that you know beyond the meetings we've been engaging in it is important to have the members of the public to active gave me and an opportunity to educate the rest of the board as well as the public that are watching and wanting to learn more about how to address homelessness in our city thanks to the public for shareing their stories so thank

you for spending our time to advise us on the issue i wanted is to reiterate this of the called because of the rules it caused you know a really big conversation dialog around issues that have been long-standing within our shelters how we provide care to yields that live on the streets this conversation as evolved to something far bigger than whether or not we should have uniform rules a conversation of what do schools impose in terms of the godmothers gaps in the shelters one of the largest ones is the ability to provide health care services and housing for folks after the shelters i want to summarize some of the next steps one, of course, is what we've talked about creating a different model from the conversations, of course,

addressing to the work this is happening 3 full-time nurses and having enhances medical professionals on our hot team is a welcome edition and the medical respite it was put in the agenda and to do the plans this fiscal year to open up an additional 20 bed rest pit shelters next year and hearing on and on on top of we would like to enhance the services in our existing shelters i said over 50 percent of our homeless or sheltered residents are older actually, it is b 7.2 percent between 40 and 59 57 percent between 40 and 4 or 59 and 40 below 60 we're talking about folks over the age of 40

and not thinking of a place where the seniors is staying how can we think that what i'm hearing from the community a need for the additional services we expect our shelters to provide looking at restorative practices within our shelters i know this is something that supervisor mar and i and supervisor campos are familiar with with the work skill i actually, the school district as an alternative to the suspensions to keeping our kids inside the classrooms that is a similar look we're talking about here and also opportunity for more radical housing it is unfortunately getting more and more expensive and finally i'll mention former supervisor duffey is working on a new application

for a center restore prying trying to intact individuals that have not been traditionally in our system in wheelchairs and comes up and hopefully that will you know learn interesting things from that pilot so this conversation continues really looking forward to working with human services agencies department of public health and the mayor's office on disability and all of our stakeholders both the service provider and our clients in the industries that are on the streets to continue to refine and work on a better quality system i think that is important it is not a blame game everyone is a resource between human services agencies or department of public health those policymakers need to think about how better to resource our agency to provide the quality services that you expect and deserve as a form of respect and

acknowledging did you humanist i think this feels important our office would love to take the names of folks that are not invited we'll take our contact information please come to my office to add our name so we can include you in further conversations. >> supervisor kim would you like to file this item. >> i'll make a motion to file at this point if we need a new request it will be different than the rules it was what the agenda was but deserves another conversation if under another title. >> supervisor christensen do you have a motion by supervisor christensen we can we'll take that without objection. again, we want to thank everyone for coming out and thank you for your time you said you know that

the h 40 is pretty young we want to thank everyone for coming out and madam clerk, any other business before this commission? >> there are no more items mr. chair. >> thank you. the meeting is
