i was going humanity the people you don't knows i have a friend of homeless people they have touch stories and going back something you stated about the number of people that returned to families friends and loved ones we often hear complaint oh nothing is done all it the same but the reality is the numbers would be rising if we didn't do something i'm sure you have a better way of articulating percentage given the fact so much is given or being done especially with the howard's costs being going up people that found shelters and living together and it is bears repeating those numbers, in

fact the fact they're staying stagnate is quite an accomplishment it means other people are being moved out it is not a stagnate system thank you for all of that. >> commissioner. >> beven and team so much for the wonderful presentation i want to congratulate you on the navigation center when i read about it was absolutely wonderful so congratulations can you tell him what's the difference between a specialist one 2. >> the specialist one is more of a - and they have a year of homeless experience or work with the community there could be a - specialist twos are leaders

prior education certificates just more experience. >> more experience more knowledgeable. >> when we saw people we saw the mental health issues were more common. >> when i walked around the neighborhood and stuff i've nos besides the handles i'm noted speaking about them there wish a lot of mental health issues so there was a program with sf you could it was a piloted project project that san francisco hesitate in partnership with santa clara county at a time so you could get someone into ssi if they have schizophrenia i've noticed people diagnosed with

schizophrenia so they'll be admonish indemnify difficult to engage and it take more time to gain a rapport with my comments just as probably wanted to specialist more advances team to be working with them. >> thank you, again i want to thank you for the wonderful work and real thank you for not only coming to share but coming with solutions and we dba can get engaged with the population so thank you. >> commissioner. >> i think this is first, i want to thank commissioner adams for bringing this up this is a tremendous education for me this afternoon and i think our story could be told all over the city i think you have a wonderful story to tell in terms of what is being done many people think that the homeless situation is

not changed in terms of the homeward bound i guess i have a couple of questions in terms of sxhats motive be more familiar the story is not realized for the - is the trend going up and down with the numbers and i don't know if in the myth we attract more if other cities send them to us is that presenting trend continuing we have a fifth harder and harder and still effected but on the other hand the burden is greater against us so if you can make comments and i guess the other area i have trying to understand the capacity of the navigation center it sounds like you have people coming in and

out and the story get them on their way and more need a more permanent solution and hoping you're looking for the conversion of sro's so those are some of the any questions and the other one how do people on the street found out outside of the police kaktd them so we're interested and this came up we want to make the embarcadero and the waterfront we're involved with a little bit more attractive to the tourist like commissioner adams so we should have a case worker fund by the port and fisherman's wharf which is the association other local community groups to have a pro-active sort program we want to help the issues we see in front of us and how we can do that while it sound like case by

case the port has been working with our group can we have a more concerted effort and working with the other organizations to get funding funded and deal with that proactively. >> i said a lot. >> i'll try to pull this together and issues i should have raised the two myths people don't want the services and san francisco is a designations not successful with homelessness and as for let's talk about the inflow we had a hearing had supervisor farrell and where the homeless count a consulate that works with all the counties in san francisco the numbers 61 percent of the people homeless in san francisco were living here and something happened lost a relationship or job and become

homeless 39 percent came here for something i'm a gay man, i knew i wanted to live here it could be me i had more of a safety net 29 percent of the population is lgbt this is a strarlg number and for that population it is straggling it is 29 percent of young adult and 29 percent of seniors not in any other city the numbers are high for young people they live or leave the easier and come to san francisco but the east coast industries are 5 percent a lot of lgbt people are job lost or relationship lost away from homelessness but 61 and 39 the

folks testified to supervisor farrell it is the same in santa clara and lemonade people come to san francisco for students what happened when the opportunity doesn't unfold i believe that will there also be homelessness yes. the mayor said we are going to end homelessness but president obama made a commitment we've been implementing that next year we have to end be homeless nensness so i do feel that and then to the navigation center point we've got to meet people where they are this is this most important thing not to give people al not waiting listed or things not work i think that taking an active role is significant i think we can have an impact here and to usual request where to house people

we're looking moment mercy housing through skroez and the mayor stats in his staechlt we've hoping the google's and the twoerts and others come down the stat of navigation center was 3 to 10 days we've having had difficulty with not having a fax machine to send people to qualify for benefits and ramping up their case manager on the first 6 or 7 people move forward into howard's we hope that is a average stay those are one or two days stay they'll bring our stays down but the best thing there's no curfew not a metal detector there were a couple of gentlemen put in bun losses with seniors and they asked to be

moved the vibe is ditch i don't blame the provider 3 hundred and 300 and thirty that's a lot of folks to move around everyday and folks takes months to get next to someone that is drunk all day so i say the state of mind are not optimal we fight to make them better their definite not where they could be and to prioritize embarcadero it is a positive benefit. >> commissioner adams you want you to get the final word. >> beven thank you and our team this is near and dear to my heart it is one the social issues to admits there's a problem and sometimes in our

society wetion people and pass to down the line let the police deal with that it is everybody's problems not just the mayor we have over 60 billionaires a good example when the bank in canada had the unifies they take the homeless people out of the city to show this clean wholesome image they're doing the same thing in the presidio that's not dealing with the problem that is hiding this is a facade you know i'm really glad that we're taking the lady and another thing people don't talk about ride sharing was the govern he shut down all the mental hospitals here in san francisco because of budget cuts a lot of people on the streets have mental problems the officers

deal with them everyday and bench your group we don't want to talk about it this is these are our neighbors and parent and anyone in this room can get a bad drug or alcohol problem have a stroke and you can find using your world is upside down most people come to san francisco because of dreams come to california but you believe; right? and it effects people didn't matter are your race or age or income it effects a lot of young people this is a problem and i'm so passionate i run everybody more than and can't get away from it i see a lot of homelessness people this is the richest nation in the world and you go to other

nations you don't see that there's a disconnect we're as a society have a responsibility as mayor edwin lee i know that homelessness is a subject for politicians it is not being a politician but doing what's right and anything the port can do any citizen in san francisco join the partnering and keypads you know i'm sure there's a lot of homelessness people have brains people in prison they got a miss pass in life sometime you you know we don't know how bless we happen to what time on the wrong side and send you down the wrong path thank you for coming and i'm glad to my fellow

commissioners saw this i see it evidence and i feel and i know that those people out there some of them have lost hope when you lose hope you've lost everything i'm hoping to give that hope back to them san francisco is a city it's progressive with a social conscious and a backbone that will take it head on and deal with that you i want to say commissioner adams there's a reason i want to be director of hope the i am going is in our mind a flurry like to say i'm not running an office but a campaign about changing people's lives it is you have to keep telling people's stories thursday the second train with the house of worship in san francisco i don't know if you're

aware of controversy and archbishops we're going to st. mary's and how do you respond to homelessness on your doorstep the thing this is shocking any clergy felt they didn't know how to talk with someone they couldn't respond how you emphasis deescalate the consist i'm excited to continue to do this work the house of chopper are the ones that should be recommending remembering us i have a job i feel most fortunate you know. >> supervisors thank you for coming here i have a request to make would love to have you back to gusts an update especially the

navigation but i hope you'll come back and tells you one of the stories of success from someone along the port and hopefully, you'll figure out a time to come back and give us a success story. >> we'll work on it thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> all right. commissioners, i have a few more things very much beven and brenda and scott and champion lazzaro a couple of things to report i'll be done about the executive director report i want to note for you and the public we will cancel our may meeting next one is may 268 and also our june 9th meeting june is the month we have one month to month we're proposing to move the june 9th
