tes who worked for all most tw years to make sure all the voters in the city understood what the proposition meant and how it impacts them sevlgs and the livelihoods of all in san francisco. finally i want to thank supervisor yee but there l the mb thofz board of supervisor jz board of education and other elected officials for all your support and endorsement for proposition c. the reauthdization of the land mark ledgeilation allows our department to continue to provide finding for children and youth service for another 25 years, but it allowstuse fund young people tupe the anal of 24. our transition aged youth which is a key key policy decision that we greatly appreciate that the voters aproveed. these are young people who are disconducted

from education and employment opportunities and unforch natly connect would inn the crimial justice system and [inaudible] and are mostly homeless young people thmpt legislation also extends the grant cycle which helps stabilize the non profit agency as well as create a new 11 member over site committee for the department. the passage of prop c was very timely and actually is quite crucial to support all the working families in the city. these are data that we found from a report that the human services agency issued that year and they estimated 3 saith percent of house hold of children in san francisco are living below the self sufficiency standard. the one thing that is more alorm is more than 27 percent of house holds with children live below

the self sufficiency standard but living above the poverty level so you see that squeeze. all these families living between the poverty level and self sufficiency stads standsered can't access critical aids which is why having the cherj and youth fund is important because it allows families to high quality and affordable care that allows them to work and allow them to be able to support their children. in 2009 the insight center estimated 18.8 percent of all san francisco house holds with and without children earned too little to meet minimum needs without public or private assistance and today that number has increased to 27

percent. the census shows that poverty in house hold income shows a wide disparity by raise and ethnicity. data shows 28.6 percent--20.6 percent-maybe i shouldn't quote that. the census is showing that there is a high disparity from families within the city that have incomes-i can't read that. >> you can keep going >> you understand. i think this is why it is very important for us and thank you once again to supervisor yee and board of supervisors for requiring the city to have a equity materic and that was

written in prop c and we'll develop a equity matrix so we can understand what it means and the impact for the xhern and families when we have high disparities apround income and housing. once again, the startling economic data i presented speaks to the fact that dcys and the children and youth fund is crucial if working families. last fiscal year, dcys worked the the partner tooz provide service for after school programs for children in kinder gaerten-8 grade [inaudible] in total we served all moestz 56 thousand concern and young people last

year. according to the 2013 american community survey there are 112 thousand children nob nub within the city and we serve 56 thousand of them. we intentionally fund programs in high need neighborhood serving high need children and familys trotie to close thoot opportunity and equity gap. this chart shows a race ethnicity comparison between the total use that the programs served in the last fiscal year compared to the total youth that are in our sfus k-12 system. [inaudible] higher proportion of african american youth compared to other young people within the total

population. dcys values partnerships and as uheard earlier fill [inaudible] talked about the partnership with the reck and park department which i greatly appreciate. we also partner with the office of early care and education the human services agency, department of public health, [inaudible] we know to make a change around the gig social issues we need to work together and come together so the impact of our funding and impact of the services are great. of note thrks vast majority of all of the partnerships and these partnerships are realized through work order relationships so we send money to other city departments and that is because other city departments have expertise and

knowledge around these areas. key budget priorities. this year we want to solidify key work that was previously funded last year with one time funds. several weeks ago the mayor and superintendent made a announce. oincrease in summer programming and that translates to another thousand slots for union people and work with the school district to insure we meet the needs. work force development is the same. the mayor is prioritizing summer jobs between the age of 14-24 and we are asking young people to apply so we can place them in private sector job as well as city jobs and it is to alloy

them to have a opportunity to be expoezed to work while-whether their are in high school or education settings. we continue to fund violence prevention services and continue to support the immigration program. last year because president obama declared a deferment program for undocumented concern and families we stepped tupe the plate and worked with our legal services, non profits legal service agency in the city to provide funding for them to work with families to apply for that deferment program. other areas that we are prioritizing is our own departmental cost. not sproizing but dcys this year will experience a significant rent increase, so

our rent will increase, our it will increase so there are the regular costs of business increases and we are also bringing on additional consultant to hup with equiety anal and community programming. we increase funding for grants it the community and we'll work with xhounty stock holders to develop a plan to allocate the grant dollars knhing into the budget focuss on the growth for fissile year 16-17 and 17, 18. we'll extend most thof grants for the next 2 years. it will allowtuse stabilize the cpo's and it gives time to plan. it will also give time to seat the

new over site and advisry committee so we can work with them on commutety engagement. i want to shairb with you some thof compiteing needs that we are faced with. we are working with our key stack holders to develop a plan. just wanted to highlight there are looming issues we heard such as the cost of doing business, minimum wage impact, the need for after school programming and summer service and early care and education service and transitional [inaudible] services. planning for the future. we are going to start and we will be enter into the 5 year plan cycle. we'll start with the community needs assessment in fiscal year 16

and 17 which is data driven and include a equity analysisism in fiscal year 17, squaen we'll crete the service allocation plan which is the plan that will become the funding road map and we'll aquilize that plan. we'll carefully consider the dem ographic changes and attention to population change and partner and talk to all of our partners in terms owhat they see and the needs they have. which that my presentation concludes. >> thank you for your presentation and all your hard work and look forward to talking more during budget season and being a part of the planning process as well. sfr

visor yee >> thank you. when i look at-thank you for your presentation. i look at slide 3 of the presentation where it has a graph there. i notice td the right hand side the percentage of youth served by age, that you have all the ages accept for 0-5 and i also realize the partners you work with, there is probably [inaudible] is there a reason why you don't count them in this or are these gist grants you directly administer >> these are grants we directly administer. we partner with the office of nob naur and education and they are the holder for thitsies data for

birth to 5 >> for those-i see there are 2 chunks, one with [inaudible] early childhood education, generally [inaudible] 9.3 million and [inaudible] >> the 9.3 million dollars is primarily for the wages which is our wage augmentation program. wage subsidy. i'll refer to my office of early care and education effort. the first 5 work ordser primarily for the family resource center. [inaudible] fund 25 family resource centers throughout the city >> in your competing-one of the last slides in the competing requests one of them

being the wages or minimum wage piece, is that for the early education field, the minimum wage-are you taking care of that or is the office of [inaudible] taking care of it? >> office of early cairb and education i can't speak for them. our minimum wage impact analysis is folkeded primary on youth wagesism making sure we maintain the level of youth in the youth employment program >> okay. so it is less about salaries of the non profits >> right, it is not around salary for non profit, it is aroned wages for young peeal in the youth employment program >> thank you >> sproovaseer mar >> thank you mrs. sue. i

approximate tr report. inel rr looking at the controllers office and it seems like w the aadditional funding and the equitable proach i'm proud of the work that is done. way back to [inaudible] that is celebrating early years, the revolutionary set aside the childrens fund and tom [inaudible] efforts with the grass roots coalition we have public education and richmond fund. i want to ask specifics, the transitional age youth additional programming, you mentioned that it is being expangded, but what is the percentage of expansion of the age group? >> it is 18-24 and right now what we plan on doing we will do is talk to the [inaudible] nat provide services the population and work with them to renegotiate their grant so

we can alow them to to bill up to age 24 and work with them on how mouch it cost. we are in the process of working with them on that >> on the economics of children and families that fall bulow-all is the poverty line that is 18-20 thousand a years. it is really low and you use the term self sufficientancy stapdered soiowen went on line and [inaudible] see there is a wide raimpg where you infants versus teenagers like i do and seems the self sufficientancy standard can very from 50-100 thousand dependent on the age of 2 kids for a family of 4. what is the age that you use with you say that 27 percent

are not-fall in the middle range where they are not below poverty but still don't meet self sufficientancy standards >> school age. this is based on a family with school age children. if you rafamily with pree school age children that cost >> infant is about 100 thousand a year and preschoolers is like 90 thousand a year so parent with younger kids are squeezed more >> yes. one reason why ewhee chose to make sure we highlight this is to call out the squeeze that our middle income families experience in the city because of the cost of livering is very high we want to make sure that we number 1 understand the data and figure out new ways and policies and practs to insure we support our working families

and that using fram poverty numbers isn't enough. we need to understand the context that these families live in >> i i'm glatd mu chel [inaudible] i guess we need to look for more funding and early care given the high cost for babies and infant and toddlers. as we look for a elder index as the baby boomers become senior boomers this same type of economics is helpful to look beyond the low poverty level for seniors for more of a elder index like insight does. as we try to find set asides or steady funding stream frz the aging population is helpful burkts it is good to learn from the early care in childhood and history of culmins effort in the sit a. thank you for

preventing a very equitable and strategic proach to meeting the needs of children and families in the city. >> thank you very much. appreciate your presentation for being here and look forward to continuing discondition. last up and not least michele rutherford is here from the office of early childhood and education. colleagues this is the last presentation today. thank you for sticking with us. >> i think we are ready to

go. >> good afternoon supervisors. [inaudible] deputy director of the new office of early care and education and representing the office today because barbary carlson the director is iowa. we want to thaj supervisor mar for setting the stage of our presentationism we want to answer your questions today and because the office is new give you a framework of what we are irk working on and what our thinking is and

respond to the questions. we are excited about the office and what san francisco can do in the field of early care and education. really our main focus is on accessible, affordable and quality fraall san francisco families, but certainly with attention to those children who need it most. like in marieas presentation on dcys, the [inaudible] included in prop c and part of the that reauthorization include assigning fundsing to the office since the beginning in [inaudible] inoffice is responsible for managing the p fund for early edand that sntd t isn't what we want to do over night. we are work on a

transition with first 5 to consolidate the funds fl to the office and consolidate and align the work and the bord is just seated our citizens advisory committee and we'll work closely with them about how going forward we'll use the existing funds and plan strusteejically to support families. child care really came from a place where a lot of people thought of baby sitting and there is a change primarily because of brain research and understanding of about early brain development and the opportunity to make a difference with poor children and disadvantaged groups and to support families. using early care as a economic support is a win win win. it is a ecpneumic support and driver for providing quality options for

families so they can go to work and feel good where their clern are and early support for children so they reach school ready to learn and with the executive functioning and all the great things that quality early education can do for them. this first slide is just-this our pie and this represents 39.8 million the office manages and [inaudible] the bulk is in subsidize. we have programs for california works families and are subcontract out the state contract and have a homeless

initiative in infant and toddlers who in shelter or had a recent shelter stay and siblings and also a low income subsidize for infant and toddlers thinl city because it is the greatest need and most expensive care. in our work force support we have our wages work force subsidize so we are helping subsidize the wages of the work force, but there is still dismal t. is frustrating for us in a-in order to be able to keep it affordable to feed a parent you can't pay the folks in the classroom what they deserve to be paid so that is wrun of the big policy delimas in the field and it isn't unique in san francisco, it is a national problem. we also

have a work force registry that we pilot for the state that is helping gather good data on our work force and tracking portfolios and it serves the providers and employers in terms of transferring the work force managers and teachers professional history with them so that is something that we are working and support the provider association and we do a lot around capacity building both pelth health and melthal helths consingitation in the classroom and inclusion support sfr children with disabilities and special needs. we have a big investment in facilities which i'll talk more in depth

about and a number of other capacity building ainitiatives. that is a overview of the office keeping in mine when we bring peace to the office we'll expand thoot 3 to 5 subsidize investment. this is just a breakdown of the slice of pie so you see the number of kids enrollment that support. this is a mix of state contracts and funding that we received and local subsidy dollars invest td. we fill in the gaps with the local money and want to make sure we maximize the state resources first. there is 50 million in state contracts that go dracktly to 28 state contractors who operate multiple sites and so

everything we do has to keep in mind what that system looks like and how we work in tandem with that system and comp lment that subsidized child care system in the city and there are part ners in delivering services. those are a total of 5 providers. one of the things in terms of the policy issues kw response strategies that we are working on, we manage san francisco pilot that allows us to have a higher state reimbursement rate. the state has a single rate throughout the state which is a problem for us because our cost of care and i have a sloyd to show the rate disparity for title 5 contractors. it is our number 1 policy problem because as we try to support those providers if the state isn't paying their fair share it is a problem. it

is a problem for them to keep their doors open let alone provide quality care. that is a big challenge. we have this pilot that allows us to pay a slightly higher state rate and that pilot is due to sunset. it also allows us for families to stay in eligibility for subsidy longer. the state medium income ceiling for eligibility is 43.200 and the pilot rate allows them to stay in the subsidy for 53 thousand. that is for a family of 3 and it changes depend on the size of the family. we also are working on the state reimbursement for the vouchers

which is slightly higher rate and our goal really is >> student regionalize the rate. senator [inaudible] is a champion in sacramento and worked with all the legislative representives and hope to have the subset repealed this year. [inaudible] that is our goal. we also are interested in policies that allow increased eligibility period. the way the state rules around eligibility work is there is a lot of families having to report all their changes and the feds are pushing for changing in the area as well because the research show-what does it do [inaudible] the family remains eligible for 60 days and they are out. it is

disruptive for a child. [inaudible] getting a 12 month eligibility period is something we are pushing for. to improve access and poier tuization for homeless families. [inaudible] we are working with the department of education around their plan response to the federal child care development rules. we submitted public comment and have a deep interest in how those rules work fundamentally. the more that is improved, the easier the other wurk we have to do will be to support our families and providers. this next sli
