shoulders and like to transition from the cap that is now disbanded to this because i believe the experience on the cca will bring an experience to the new body and thought my time on the children's coalition i was advocating for the cca to be strengthened in more of an oversight committee with more accountability this is something i'd like to be part of i've been an activist for over 10 years and as a form homeless youth i think that is important for those the most disconnected and marginalized i'll be happy to answer any questions at this time. >> if you have any. >> great i don't have any questions supervisor katie tang. >> for all the planners if all

of you could state what you achieved i know we have a lot of applicant shed light please. thank you supervisor tang i say my number one priority is meetings and people come to the meetings outside of that i hope we could have more communication with our constituents with the young people and get more youngest people involved in the oversight committee and have constant communication we're hearing their opinions how to improve the process not only having the community meet throughout the wu year but rallying our goals back to the youth and taxpayers. >> thank you thank you. >> okay. next up carmen is she here?

impactful and enabling me to work as a single parent and in a crisis that support it structural additional in my professional life it is really impactful i've had the opportunity to oversee programs awarded by this department historic so as a parent i really bring that lens of experience but also the professional lens of the landscape and the impact and quality of those programs personally my son was in third grade when we first moved here in after-school program and that put our families into country we tried different options when we got on a ymca bus with one of his friends he wasn't eligible for that program we went down to the children's council and didn't leave until we got some

support and able then to get him into a ymca program that made a huge difference the equality quality of the program he went to some schools an elementary and middle school and was able to get it programming free due to grounds on true dcwf in high school he did out of sight affirmative became his friend and started the workforce program and high school is a challenge time for our family there were times he didn't get do school and living with his father or me and during those times show up for work now out of high school he can maintain a job i've seen it's impact and
