in 5 americans experience mental illness in their life time and this statistic shocks the-is the suicide rate which is that suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the u.s. and the third leading cause of death to union people ages 10 to 24. the numbers prove this is a serious condition, there are still significant barriers to seeking treatment. we still have a strong stigma attach today mental health treatment that makeatize unsafe and unaccessible to those that need help that seek t. in san francisco we are committed to equal access to mental hent, in other parts of the country this is not the case. mental health is less prioritized and given less resources. the neg tchb view of mental health is even in communities

of color and taw bu. that is why it is important to continue supporting cultural comp tent provider jz 234 creasing language access for our non english speaking community members. this issue also effects our youth greatly and i know that we'll continue supporting our school wellness centers to provide more counseling and services for our students. today along with supervisor se mar i'm introducing a resolution to recognize may as mental health awareness month in san francisco. i also want to recognize that today as supervisor mar mentioned, the san francisco police department and crisis intervention team work group is holding their first annual award sair moan to recognize the work of officer, faculty and volunteers who have dedicated time to training, crisis intervejz teen team to

provide crisis invention. since they have the ceremony today many are unable to itend, but we'll be providing a special accommodation on tuesday june 2, here at the board of supervisors. i hope that more programs like this will allow us to build a stronger culture in san francisco where we support those with mental health issues rather than vilifying them or ostracizing them. i hope that with increase awareness more people will be willing to seek help without tion. the milthal health board of san francisco and san francisco health network will hold a resource table at the behavioral health services building at 1380 howard street all month long so

colleagues i hope you support this effort. the rest i submit >> supervisor avalos >> thank you madam clerk. colleagues first off i want to thank those that approached me about the young boy who was in a muni fatality. a boy going to school. i'm not sure what the whole story is, but he was hit by a muni bus and i'm not saying it is muni's fault what so ever, but it was just very very disturbing. i know we work very hard to make operation zero a realty in san francisco and this is something that hit hard and close to home, this young boy who was killed. i think it is

important to acknowledge these deaths when they happen. i just want to recognize this happened today and it is on my mind disturbing me all day that this could happen to a young residence here in the neighborhood that are unsair in the streets. just thought ied with bring that up. i also have a memoriam for a long time resident, stanley frances cord. he was a retired deputy chief are san francisco police department, he died while meander ing onson [inaudible] on april 21. a life long residents, [inaudible] wife of 61 years and stan was a [inaudible] graduate of graud loupey elementary school, [inaudible] balboa high school. he went to city college of san francisco and san francisco

state. stan was inducted into the united states army in 195 wn rfx transferred to arm reserve in fiver 3 and haun rbl disharjed in 1956. work frd the postal service before entering the san francisco police department in 1953. he was promoted through the rank thofz police department, sergeant,ue tenent and captain and retired as deputy chief in 84. [inaudible] volunteer on alcatraz and found there every monday for the last 28 years leadertorys to anyone lucky enough to follow him. he afs life long neb of the church of epitchany and served as ccd teach, math lecturing are [inaudible] stan was a member of the outer mission merchants and rez dent [inaudible]

retired san francisco police officers and many others. stan was a aved day hiker that morphed into a day walker. he could be seen throughout the city e neighborhood or on the trails of san bruno mountain. he believed life was best spent as a gentle meanderer. stan was a great grie and plissed by families and friends. for someone that spent his life walking there is no better way to go in the activity he loved the most. stan will be greatly missed in the neighborhood. i also have a couple other measures i would like to introduce. people may have heard of the bruny height residence who rented a house and had a rent increase by a dramatic amount, i think 800 percent to the rent. the landlord was able to increase the rent because before that

the building was under rent control, but once the landlord had removed in the building than the landlord had the ability to remove that building from rent control and raise the rent. it was a single family home with a in-law unit that was removed. we have seen through the planning department betr r 2 to 3 in-law removals each week that come to planning and seems to be a method that property owners are using to be able to have a building as a single family home with a in-law unit to be pluved from the rent control pool. we are actually moving forward with a ordinance that requires the removal of a in-law unit to require conditional use. we can craft this to be something that might be in place temporarily at least while we

see high levels ofovictions, but we want to make sure we are preserving the ability oof people in san francisco who have been the house for years to maintain rent control so they can maintain a level of affordability. that will be introducing. also there may have been news about a housing bond that i have been working and want to thank my colleagues mar and supervisor compose for signing on as cosponsors to what i call the sustainable communities affordable housing bond. we all know our ecanomy in san francisco is booming. it is booming like it never boomed before, but it isn't booming in a sustainable way. we are seeing unemployment rates that remain high in certain parts of the community of color, african americans and latinos are not doing as well in san francisco and we are also seeing as we build new

housing that eviction, displacement is going on in a dramatic way like it has never done before. we need real dramatic and aggressive action of affordable housing crisis. i want to thank mayor lee of a 250 million dollar housing bond. i appreciate it and the is the right thing to do, but think we haven't had a dialogue in the city of what the true size of the bond should be and also it could be additional commitment we make with the wealth and property tax tooz funds a larger bonds mptd. there are real benefits that come when we build and create new neighborhoods jz make public housing much safeer and stronger that actually has untold benefits on all of san francisco. there is also things that happened in the communities with the different levels of development across

the different commune aezties of san francisco that need addressing. i'm not sure that is addressed in the 250 million housing bond and hope we can engage in dialogue as to what shape the bond could take. i agree with the mayor on looking at a down payment assistance loan program about having a program for teachers and other service providers in san francisco. i believe that we really need to look at construction and rehabilitation, affordability housing, building housing from scratch and public housing needs to be restored and requires housing that is rented but they require to remain affordable. we haven't done language in the mayors proposal about housing coopsquz trust and how how hozing trust can may plai role in making housing affordable in san francisco and don't think we straessed the needs that exist around san francisco when we see such

disproportional development going on. if you look around market street there are high rise buildings and going up and different parts of the nairbld on the eastern side but in district 11 and richmond district we don't see housing going up. we haven't seen the effect development can have on the commercial corridors to promote transit and pro mote diversity and economicic tavety. these are things we can apply by using bond and think how to build the corridors for the 21est century. if you have been to district 11 you look on mission street and the corridor hasn't dwepd much in the last 70 yearsism zee housing that is 2 or 1 stories on a transit corridor that is the busiest in the neighborhoods, well below

what the permitted heights and we actually need public and private dollars that help stabilize and revisalize these parts of san francisco and it isn't just district 11. i would like to be able to think we can engage in a real strong effort, consider evethen larger size of the bond with the wenth we generate in san francisco and the wealth we all benefit from to make sure we rebuild the city for the 2 1 century. colleagues i want to thank supervisor mar and supervisor campos for signing on to this 500 million dollar housing bond. my goal is really to go to the ballot with one measure, one measure that is larger in size than what the mayor is proposal and larger than what

this misher is, but one that looks at sustainable growth and housing development and affordable housing development for the century. thank you colleagues >> thank you supervisor avalos. supervisor mar >> i wanted to echo supervisor avaloss point about sustainable communities affordable housing bond. i want to thank the mayor and jeff buckley for the working groups that may office has participated in. i especially want to thank the mayor for working group 2 which is low income housing priorities which focuses on the most vulnerable residence of san francisco like families senior and [inaudible] win the association of bay area government and mtc with grant funding from housing and urban development there is a good tool used by uc berkeley

researcher, miriam zook and others that help identify which communities might be next at risk from the missions take over of city hall from friday highlighting the crisis and state of emergency for the mission to many other neighborhood where there are transit corridor squz threat of loincome working families and seniors to beevicted in the coming years t. is critical to look at tools like what uc berkeley developed. the mayors 250 million dollar bond is a good step, but not near enough of the funding needed by the housing crisis. the housing element of the general plan suggested 50 percent of the housing should be affordable. the rejinal housing needs assessment said it should be at 60 percent and the housing balance initiative think it should be 33 percent and above. the cities existing sources

such as housing trust fund which we pass adsfu year uzago incrugzary fees and redevelopment tax increment, san francisco may be able to build clous to 5 hchb new net affordable hose over the next 5 years, but it is short of the level needed to address the imbalance of new housing production and the current pipeline of approved development it is at 16 percent affordable low and moderate income compared to 84 percent market rate and luxury housing the city is building. i thipg the imbalance is highlighted friday when many community coalitions from had mission and allies. through the halloffs city hall so i think the antedisplacement coalition and organization for bringing that voice and that crisis to city hall. i also think that the cities imbalance of housing

right now is especiallyly acrut and growing and the neighborhoods are experiencing the greatest brunt of development prusher especially the mission, but also long market street and other transit corridors. equally critical is there displacement crisis that undermine the diversity and nature of our working families, neighborhoods in the city. in 2014 we say 2 thousand evictions and over 400 housing units removed from rent control through ils act conviction squz condo convers and doesn't count the short term rentleds on the market pushing out affordable housing in the city. i think the city committed 700 million to transportation funding over the next 5 years by combining a 500 million bond and 30 million dollar per year set aside and transit impact fee. we need to secure mitch more for

affordable housing. that is why the affordable housing bond is critical. my hope is we have a measure moving forward and that there is a lively dialogue in the next few weeks as we put it on the ballot. i think the new funding for 500 million dollars dedicated to affordable housing is critical for the next 5 years to deal with the crisis raised. the new funding serves need for family, senior and homeless and supportive and special needs housing as well as first time home ownership for teachers and first responders and others. i like how supervisor avalos identified the san francisco community land trust small site acquisition and other ways to really insure that we have new sites to have affordable housing before they are flipped and changed and taken off the market as well. with 500

million from my calculation the city has 100 million to kb a neighborhood stabilization trust large number to fund 600 or more units of at risk displacement over the next 5 years, 200 million to build tupe 1 thousand affordable units to keep pace with the run away scale of market rate and luxury development in the neighborhoods most impacted by gent fiication and displacement, 100 million to lands bank tupe 15 new sites before they are flipped and lost opportunities, 80 million to fill the gap. i hope west side court is considered in addition to putraro and sunny dale and twunt million to expand the down payment assistance program for teacher squz other 1st time home buyers. i'm appreciative of supervisor achb lose and compose and hope we move forward with one affordable housing bond that is a

sustainable community housing bond and at the levels that we need during this crisis we face as a city. thank you. the rest i submit >> president breed >> today i'm proud to introduce the 254 million dollar affordable housing bond alang with the mayor and supervisor cohen, christensen, farrell, tang and wiener creating affordable housing and rehabilitation existing affordable housing wothat we have is a highest priority since on the board and i'm grateful we are partnering in this effort. together over the past a little thoerfb year we dedicate a million to refurbish housing to move in homeless families. we invested 5.4 dollars for needed elevator repair in the 9 public housing developments and launched the

rad program to rehabilitation 4600 public housing units and over the next 25 years we have about 250 thousand new people wanting to live here in addition to the 800 thousand that live here and many struggling liver here. san francisco has the highest or second highest sthichb country dependent on the report you read. between 2010 and 11 we added about 1 new housing unit for every 10 residence. we need to build about 18 thousand new affordable units in the next 7 years, but in the last 7 years we built 1/3 of the number. i know how hard it is to find affordable housing in san francisco. i dealt with it myself and know we need more

affordable housing and that is why we laurn this bond today. i know some will argue the bond already a quarter of a billion dollars isn't big enough, i understand that and get it and i just want to reiterate a couple point here. this is not the only money that we'll have to deal with affordable housing. in the next 6 years we'll spend over a billion dollars to build affordable andb middle income housing not to mention we have to think about the cupsty and tublt effect ivly build faster. when we talk about over a billion dollars in the next 6 years of building new, it will take some time. increasing this bond to 500 million, i understand the

logic, thit isn'ten thonly means to affordable housing. thank tooz the voters the affordable housing trust fund, access to ocii funds that are decreasing over the years, developer fees and federal and state funding and hope that this bond can help us to move a lot faster in developing these project jz provide additional support for the program. also i keep in mind the last 2 housing bonds the city pass would r the 2/3 vote failed and want tosy a ballot measure-one measure go to the ballot and want it to be successful and don't want to see it raise taxes and don't want to change the cities bonding capacity in any way. a larger bond requires raising taxes or diverting funds from our other

plan bonds so parks, public health, earthquake safety and muni. the first option raising taxes puts us in a real situation of having sth bond fame leaving us with nothing for affordable housing instead of 250 million and only sacrifice one invest frment another. this phaund the right cause, the right size at the right time. we need this housing and need for t for those struggling to pay gent need to be possible in managing the city money and bonding capacity. we need this for public housing and reabof existing housing and we sneed it for those who don't have housing at all so i'm really hopeful that we come to an agreement and move this bond forward on the ballot moving forward. thank you colleague squz the rest i spub mitt >> supervisor comp os

>> thank you very much and my thoughts go to supervisor avalos and to the community in district 11 and the family of this kid who died tragicly today in another accident. i have a couple points and let me begin by talking about the housing bond and i approximate all the comment that have been made and do want to thank mayor lee, president breed and others for putting this item forward, but i will respectfully disagree with the comment that this is the right size of a bond. let's be very honest and frank but what is happening in san francisco. if you take the mayors projection of what he wants to do at face value, if

we build 30 thousand units oaf housing and 15 thousand will be affordable, just to build that we are talking about 3.7 billion dollars, so one billion dollars over the next 6 years is only a fraction of what the mayor himself has said is needed and when you look at 250 million dollars it is a drop in the bucket. the notion that we can tell the public that we are addressing the housing crisis with a 250 million dollar bond to me i don't believe that is the truth, that is the realty. we are dealing with a crisis and percenting what is i think at the very best a ban dade.

there is a saying in spanish, that what the mayor tried to do here is [speaks in spanish chblt you are trying to cover the sun with one finger and it is just not going to work. quite pharyngly the 500 million dollars that supervisor avalos is talking about is a fraction of what is needed. we are telling some of us at least 2 colleagues have already come out against what my community in the mission called for which is a mooreatorium of luxury housing because they want more building of affordable housing is and in the mission we need to maintain the level of diversity, the level of displacement, not for thing tooz get better, but just main tay where we are. we need to

build 24 hon unit of housing and you need 600 million dollars in the mission alone and the mayor is talking about 250 million dollars. something that doesn't cover half of what one neighborhood needs as a response to a crisis respectfully, i disagree. now let's talk about this mooreatorium and as colleagues know this luxury moreatorium was introduced last week and look forward to a conversation and discussion. i'm formally introducing a motion that allows the board of supervisors to hear thet mayor as a committee as a whole. i noted before in the 6 and a half years as a supervisors i have never made a request to have a matter be heard through a

committee of a whole, but think the gravity of what is happening is such that that is needed and it isn't something that i'm saying alone is actually something that more than a thousand people that came to city hall friday came to my office and second i formally make that request. today i'm introducing that motion to ask that the board of supervisors hear the luxury mooreatorium we interas a committee as a whole. let me say that i appreciate the fact that 2 of my colleagues have taken a keen interest in the luxury mooreatorium and respect the fact we have different perspectives on this. lut me make a couple things clear, yet t is true that we have an emotional reaction to what is

happening in the mission, but emotional reaction doesn't mean we haven't thought about the proposal that we put forward. it isn't simply a motion that is driving the policy proposal that i hope is given tew consideration by this body. it is actually based on policy rational as to why the existing policy that focuses on the building of luxury housing hasn't wurged for this neighborhood. it based on fackual data that includes a reg recognition of the fact that 10 thousand people are displaced from the nairbld, many latino and working class. it sauls based on the fact that even if you believe in the market that there is limited land in the mission and that unless we do something different by the time the city

is in a position as supervisor breed said, it takes time for the city to do anything when it comes to housing, but by the time you get to the a position where you can acquire the limited amount of land that is available, unless we do a pause on luxury ement dedevelopment that housing will be gone and know now land to build affordable housing. i welcome the request that has been made to have the chief economist for the sate do a report on the luxury mooreatorium, but i note a couple things. i hope that as we move forward with this request that the mission is not held to a higher standard. i have since i have been on the board seen supervisors requests things that are specific to their district including
