and support they're also getting health care this is the federal poverty level the mid tier this is where it comes in this is project 5 hundred an initiative really led principally by the department of hand-me-downs an effort to target 5 hundred of our poorest families in inform and moving them out the poverty a midnight approach attempt to address all the multiple barriers 3 families are facing in addition to income things to or things utilization housing and behavorial issues with children so when you look at how to do that the only way in our economy to get people out of poverty is to work sincerely cash transfers didn't do it alone when you look

at the minimum wage in san francisco being what it is 1225 an hour two parents full-time the minimum wage close to $51,000 a year when you couple that with childcare you're getting closer to that family of self-sufficiency that's not - maybe the stress level of making ends meet is lower so that's what you've of our interventions is based on getting employment someone into employment but getting full-time flo into a career path lard that's what we'll focus on with the 5 hundred. >> single adults a similar slides again what we're trying

to look at the single with no which were no dependents and the sever sufficiency standard is lower but again minimum wage for a single person is $26,000 a year which we want to move past in addition to income supports cash transferred is critical for our families and single adults is health care and security two principle ways it hass interferences is through cal fresh the food stamp program the affordable health care honestly changed the lives of thousand of individuals in san francisco for many access to health care we enrolled for medi-cal are

they're certifying for getting them and dph our partners on health care are on the health delivery side we enrolled over 90 thousand individuals into medi-cal and now have over hundred and $70,000 thousands that's represents 20 percent of our population the chart has shown growth considerably the next growth is in the cal fresh a lot of the individuals open medi-cal receiving the health care are eligible for food support so internally our ceo partners are getting families on cal fresh and increase that caseload significantly budgetary and problematically how are we doing this if you receive medal we'll almost

triple our caseload and not create a triple workforce but to train and deploy o deploy our workforce to do multiple programs so a case worker can enroll families so it creates efficiency we're attempting to take advantage of. >> classroom through the chair i know they've identified that cal fresh issue or the food stamp issue so many people who can qualify not signed up and we've funded a special outreach team to target the pomgsdz we knew to increase the eligibility are we continuing that and how to enroll the estimated 20 thousand

h s a for people eligibility for cal fresh. >> thanks for the question so in negotiations with the mayor we have still ongoing we have proposed a whole host of 2k3wib8g9 workers for cal fresh and medal that are supported through the federal and state this is important and the number we're landing around 57 so that will again and we'll be crossed trained in the dual k3wr0r789 we based that on the expansion 20 thousand it is important to note our work is not done when we enroll a family or individual there are on and on or continuing eligibility requirements we have to recidivist 2k3wib89 for every single household everyday so, now we have hundred and 20 thousand people on medi-cal we're done no, we have to recidivist those households so

it workforce needs to be increased in terms of outreach we have an in reach and outreach they've asked the question are they on cal fresh if not get them enrolled a whole host of initiatives with the food bank the school district and we have the internal capacitate and the technological capacity to enroll the folks. >> sir a quick question you and i have talked about this how in terms of people that within your purview in support of housing the magnitude of families that are not signed up for the benefits they could be. >> you know it is actually an

series strategy since they are at least contractually under our purview one of the other initiated we're push for the mayor nauptd the increase of the levels of housing size currently from one to thirty to hundred and proposing to drop our sites one to 35 but the expectation is that onsite case managers through sro's we'll be doing the ascertainment work to work with the clients are they on benefits to make sure they're doing it themselves on web applications we think that one to 35 is a manageable number and the krorltz recorded they've highlighted that as an area we needed to address the lower than expected benefits update rate

among the housing resident. >> thanks. >> now sort of getting into the problematic budgetary weeds what's our poverty it is cal works we have been fortunate over the last few years under the governors administration that finally the state has taken an active roll in looking at cal works it is a comprehensive program of self-sufficiency and work alone will not do it for families particular the families that are not on and off aid but for a a long time the caseload has been flat for a number of years that is an indicator folks have been on it for a number of

years we need more and more every family starting i guess next month will go through a standardized ascertainment a very, very comprehensive comprehensive interview to get at what are the issues the strengths and barriers to getting into employment and the path to self-sufficiency like children's needs etc. but now in addition doing the ascertainment we have this tools what the ascertainment may reveal in terms of fund through the family state stabilization initiative that in a sense parks a family in this stabilization sort of path and does not require that family to engage in workforce activities they're not read and the stable shut up provides the integral health and

tutoring for kids whatever it it releases stabilize the family and gets them into the employment education or train again funded through the state another big path we took advantage in the federal program and continued with the state dollars our states not program our successful program that is now statewide about hundred and $60 million we have hundred and 32 clients we placed in subsidized jobs hundred 1514 have xiltd in the world of work we're seeing encouraging data matching with ed do he d and the ultimate goal of that internal

is not just to get income into the pockets of low income families but to prepare them in the world of work to retain that job in the private sector without a subsidy or find a different job the earlier indications 60 percent of completion or more are resulting in permanent jobs through the subsidized jobs i'll note that for the first time the state has recognized that housing are absolutely necessary to g to get families from welfare to work they've funded a $2 million hours program and we got 10 percent of the share even though we have only 2 percent of the statewide caseload we've placed 6 thousand families the way

we've structured the program place a family with a program and stabilize that and about begin to subsidize that through training. >> the single adult does the strategy if look a whole lot different but i'll note what we see in the demographics and the circumstances of single adults the caseload tracks unemployment the unemployment rated more than the cal works the residents at cal works is generally flat the caseload of single adults has declined the same timeframe has dropped so the single adults tend to be more poor in and out of jobs and more able to take

advantage of american people economic recovery there's not a core group of adults not on public assistance that number could be around the 5 thousand or more mark we're getting yet to see a flattening that medians we need those comprehensive interventions for mental health and employment and includes assistance with getting open federal disabled if they're not able to work and the cap program needs to recognize that as the principle income for single adults we need to be geared towards employment and housing and less towards maintaining someone's eligibility and what that means inlay persons speak we want to keep folks on cash assistance we want

to not be distvend for not mailing in a form one of the manifestations we're seeing a lot of single adults that we house through the california cal cap getting evicted because of cash flow to keep folks on aid more consistently we've seen a growth in the caseload of 14 percent because the folks are not be discontinued this is a good cutting-edge segue to our housing and homeless i've been up here a lot and you've heard a lot i know that supervisor farrell agrees the corner stone to ending homeless is supportive hours we've expanded supportive hours under the h s a as you can see

through this graph every year we've increased and last year, we've added quick math over 2 hundred units for veterans and families and transition aids youth and the mayor proposed an additional $14.5 million for more than 5 hundred supportive units in 5 units across the city that is not rescued in this slide it is exist and the commitment to getting single adults into housing coupled with an increase investment or continuing in the navigation center that is really starting to become the avenue into housing for chronicallyly homeless folks cam open the

street and not in shelter by couple of those many of those being existing from the navigation center we'll see the effects of the navigation center on the population and add i mentioned already but i'll note again, the increased investment open the service side of affordable housing with services and the serviced are there to meet not only to maintain folks in the housing but hopefully help single adults and folks exit the housing and temple tenants rely lessen emergency assistance care ems calls incident that end up being resolved from the department of public health budget instead of fund the services we've stone shown to be able to reduce the costs and better equip folks for

exits that one $.8 million drops our caseload to hundred and 45 with that, i'll conclude the dhs from the department of did you want services the colleagues are here to present i'll answer questions now. >> commissioner eric mar. >> yes. to the homeless population i could wait until the end supervisor farrell but it makes more since to ask now i want to say thank you it is incredible we're as a city investing in improving the sro buildings and reproducing the navigation center i wanted to thank beacon hill and the staff for incredible work and also the investment in the mobile

integrated health practice and other great programs but it says a lot what our city is trying to do with lifting people out of poverty and homelessness i want to thank the coalition on homelessness we we know how the dis displacement is impacting the city i think the new homeless versus the chronic homelessness do we have numbers open the homeless people requesting shelters or various services. >> not sure we have this data specifically but what we have is the report open the homeless count we start in january of 2015 that not only has a e nutrition of folks that asked those questions how long were you homeless homeless in san francisco are you a veteran all

that rich demographic information we need, however, that we need in order to taylor the internals but as you said what is the daytime and the eviction and the high rental costs that result of that and this bye product of that we don't know with that but in a few months. >> it only tracks within the boundaries of san francisco but my guess the families that some have been living in in their cars or bigger vehicles at time and if they can't stay in the city pushed to other surrounding areas all the way to ann intoxicate where is that information the impacts and the push back to further areas of

the bay area. >> that's aloof data i don't know if we can practicing track if folks are not there the night of the count or the survey within thirty days if their vehicle lae last yearly housed it was noted how many people were in vehicles but in terms of the mitigation out it is hard to track the day on someone that goes from county to county we know for example 40 percent of 39 single adults recorded in 2013 person homeless somewhere else than san francisco we are placing 7 or 8 out of families outside of san francisco by in terms of homeless in services and leaving to another county is difficult to engage. >> i want to say the

announcement from this morning thanks to supervisor farrell for holding the hearings over the past year the supportive housing and different models those commence is really i think good bank for the buck in addressing the issues of hoping people get on their feet i have another point do we track the ages that age range of homeless people i know that when we talk about poverty in the city 1/3rd of the children in the city are in poverty 2 hundred percent of the poverty level the overall population is seminars we'll see with baby boomers like myself angling rapidly the numbers of people and probably homeless

seniors i'm wondering how jefferson h s a is addressing that how are we addressing the elderly boom and the elderly poverty boom it is going on for the next 20 over and over thirty years i believe the elderly will be 1/3rd of the total city populations and good chunk will be in poverty or homeless as well. >> sherene is here better equipped to answer that question i'll asking answer that on a robust community level from in home community services that is the corner stone the providing care with seniors in homes but all the other you'll hear about it whether nutrition or transportation or senior centers and maintaining the ability for

seniors to remain in their community and homes and the more care that is dignified that's the framework for guiding everything we're doing around seniors if you are talking talk about seniors in the shelters it is the same intervention not thinking about where what institution we're placing that senior in but what are the options for affordable housing option for the seniors in shelters and a i had a sidebar with olsen lee sort of the needs and the families and seniors one the biggest needs is growth is seminars we'll continue to focus on senior housing is critical and on the services side to cue up did seniors out of shelters into affordable housing is incredible and the partnering

with mow is critical. >> the reason i'm raising this yesterday as many seniors and people that disabilities and tenant rally id to talk about the need for eviction protection a 73-year-old being evicted with disabilities she'd 12k5b8gd but i'm sense this is we're seeing more people with disabilities and seniors pushed into homelessness that's why i'm asking about seniors no poverty during the daytime process. >> uh-huh. >> thank you. >> schooe. >> thank you chair hi my question around family housing - homeless families and it is great you were able to get

funding from the state and service to the homeless families and some additional hours i'm occurs i guess i'm not getting a since of what is the magnitude of the issue here of families in terms of homeless families. >> what would be some - what do we need to fix it h s a approach we look at data that is different from the school district for example we've seen reports over 3 thousand kids in the school district are homeless the definition that they use is much different from what we and hud uses the federal housing development many kids are under housed and sro's and conditions that are unstable we're that

looking at lacking a night time addresses that's what hud uses right now our waiting list is hundred and 50 families a waiting list for shelter down from 270 or 280 about a year ago one factor is opening up a priority for public housing for homeless families one is a significant investment by the board and the mayor in rental subsidies not just the $2 million in state subsidies but several million dollars in need based and short-term rentals rapid housing for cherts and services eviction preservation not only prevents homelessness but

prevents homelessness from eviction and preventing that union from going to market rate that is about affordable housing preservation we have money in housing - we have you don't see families on the street within the homeless count i think maybe 70 or 80 families are on the street or in their car the reasons behind the research has shown it is really about income than other things you see mijz and addiction generally i'm generally listing it is about income that suggests the poverty deals with income so the increasing abatement and getting trained what we are looking at

what the subsidize programs not yet but we want to get to a place where families shouldn't be in line for shelters families should be in line for subsidies we want to get with a waiting list of zero to urge families from shelters and put them into a housing model and the coupled with the housing training and the other things to get that family up and anti of poverty the approach that really the nation is taking many jurisdictions have gone to the zero family approach and redirecting to money towards housing and looking at housing is a short term housing not hundred or 80 days in shelters not good for kids or families. >> so approximately did you say

hundred. >> it is about i said about hundred and 50 it is about hundred and 48. >> looking at our numbers that will- if we were to let's see another $5 million for families housing that seems to be the number you'll need to take care of. >> so of the absolute numbers that sound like it is right the subsidies it is tied to market rate housing and what unfortunately, we've had to do is make that decision is it better to have a family homeless in san francisco or houses in other county waiting for a unit we can acquire without the rents medium rents $34,000 if a family can move to another county with better rent we're still providing those services and support that's what our

nonprofits are forced to do. >> you probably said it the $2 million for the 6 of homeless families. >> it is actually we've housed 66 families with less than $2 million we have several million dollars we have allocated to how's house 2 more families. >> those families are housed elsewhere. >> yes. the last numbers were 70 to percent. >> and that's recorded from the - >> it really is a new it calls for a new strategy around the support programs give us an example the way that the cal works works if families move to another county other than
