for families? >> thank you for the question rated the studies around family homelessness differ vary significantly from the strategies for single adults. research tends to show the homeless family the primary predictor or cause of homelessness for families is income. this simply poor. whereas a single adults have generally a high incidence of addiction, mental illness, tend to be older primary healthcare needs. so that research suggests strategy we should incorporate is what around income. we have -- in this budget proposed increases in family rental subsidies for 30 more families. we also of the state now -- subsidy program right housed over 100 families now in the current year. that just since december. those

expand by the suitable number $59 so hopefully get a portion of that. additionally the existing family rental subsidy programs in partnership with health and family center and catholic charities. again, the strategy being that increase these families incomes, stabilize them and housing and couple that with job training or placement in the job now to get families to a place where they can pay rent on their own overtime. >> in addition for families who may have the higher-level need we do a family support housing site, both in the pipelines there is allspice of housing but also existing supportive housing for forward place families who may have a need for high-level intervention in the sites. >> i guess you mentioned your increase in the budget to support 30 more families for subsidized housing i guess. is that adequate in terms of the need? >> yes. that saga and family hopelessness. we are working with some providers and

advocacy organizations i what would it look like, what, proposal would it take to end family homelessness. if you look at the numbers, and without being definitional, homelessness is often a broad definition that equates knowledge families run shelter or maybe in cars on the shelter waiting for families that might be doubled up families who are sros families were not in an unstable housing situation in on the street. we took a broader definition and use the data reported by the school district the numbers of homeless kids is about 2400. again the broader definition. of that, though, only about 400 to 500 of those phones that narrower definition of the shelter waiting list. trying to massage that figure out well, is it our goal or intentions of all the families who may be indoors" maybe not all of them

must not change their housing situated it could be a generational family situation. it could be something that works for them. the need to dig deeper into his the needs of those but the other ones, again, strategies that look at rentals of these that look at the housing pipeline to the members opposite housing member of the housing bunch, set aside with an offer for will housing set-aside particular units for chronically homeless families. work with the housing authority to prioritize homeless families in placement in the public housing. currently they get five points higher of bonus of pipelines in terms their scoring. so, no, subsidies are not enough but were landing on the number between 20 and 30 million policing could actually and they might homelessness in

symptoms is that unlike senior adults. 6 to 7000 single adults the number of surely homeless families is much more manageable and manageable in a way that were able to quantify it.. it is not represent in a proposal here is doing were working on. >> thank you. i look for to seeing what the final proposal looks like. supervisor tang >> thank you for your presentation mr. roark. i wanted to shout to you about navigation sent. i did have an opportunity to take a tour of it and i learned a lot adding its wonderful new way of trying to tackle some of the challenges that some of the homeless individuals or family space trying to whether to shelter or permanent housing. so, i know you had included 1.5 million general funds to continue operations after december. how long to anticipate that funding would allow it to stay in operation. that funny would be for, i believe it is the only year one

of the jaws it. correct? and the potential move. the site of the navigation centers that now, close to 16 commission, will ultimately be developed and housing so we will have to revote the navigation center so that funds represent data operations there and the transition to a site that would be yet be determined. again, the continues to prove prove successful. were still sort of in a pilot phase. it is really showing a lot of promise. were really know what has we open us housing as of this effective way long-term way to get long-term homelessness into permanent housing and promote exercise from homelessness. that was sort of a long lines for second question i mean it is no sir early and i really like trying how you are trying to eliminate all those barriers for services and kind of put in a cohesive area of the different access

points are normally someone would have to go to maybe for different poems over the several months all in one place. i hope that the goddess of whether the navigation center continues to weaken the lessons learned from that and apply it to judgment your existing structure in some way. >> that is a thought, supervisor. to look at it is this emergency shelter system which has over 1000 beds and adopt navigation center approach in a system. it is proven again effective. getting 22 dojo that space number getting 22 of these folks housed, moving from an kimmitt dr. mcammond to housing the span of a couple months suggested this pretty effective intervention. >> great, thanks. >> supervisor mar >> i am guessing the part of aging seemed and office of

education. a minute? >> will present next >> unappreciative value of the human safety net needs into the mayors of budget your own innovations, our city is really trying to ensure that to ease suffering, and to struggles of many many people that are not being advanced by the economic boom in our city, but it is really enlightening how, from the very young with office of care and education, to the booming compilation of seniors with the department of aging and adult services, how you balance these huge needs. it after the different offices have mentioned how though the budget is really a good one for this year, they are still significant gaps to food insecurity, with the building population of seniors and their needs children and families in our city. about us that after

they are done. >> thank you. collects any further questions? a turnover to -- >> good morning supervisor. enhancing department of aging alkyl. as you know, were made up of four divisions. in unsupported services which is ask a part of half of our department, the office of long-term care, protective services, and then we have the office of the veteran services and office on aging and information refer and consultations is our fourth edition. if you turn to go start has it up, page 7 of the report before you, you will see there are three things we want to highlight today. those are really either populations of people that cut across all four divisions were areas of work that card across the four divisions. first is the quality assurance and clinical consultation unit. this is something that we came out of

the community living fund work and that a version and committee immigration work a number of years ago. we have seen the successes that that program. wash that across the department to answer all four divisions. it is also part of alder street is a planning work we have done. two of its long-term immigration, dementia and alzheimer's, living with dignity, was involved in key portions of those reports. a country veterans office,, i am not sure if you had known but in the past we have had to be close on fridays because we needed a day for the small staff to catch up with all the paperwork that is needed because it is all about interviewing people making sure that what people they get. so, we are looking to do some expansion this year so that we can open

on fridays and have the outstations that we have had in the past and been unable to have in place for us. we found not only have a main office but having outstations is enormously helpful in reaching out to veterans who not always know that their access to services and support. and benefits. the last is something we are really excited about. his work on right now the --. this is where were going to physically have our information referral assistance and consultation unit. you also have all the benefits. i discussed medi-cal, in one spot and as part of the work i was put up the long-term care integration strategic plan, will be moving in creating a case management intake focus and managing the waitlist. right now, we have case managers in all parts of the city. i think 25, 30 of them

working with younger adults with disabilities and older adults. but in conversations in our community dividers, this idea of having one place where people can call in and we could manage on how people access that particular service will be i think really helpful to the community, but also hopeful to --. press to determine what unmet need might be out there as well. turning to page 8 you will see the highlights of the mayoral enhancements. at the top the list is the community living fund, which to date, has been a fun about $3 million that has funded and supported people who are either in institutional care, and are willing and able to come out and back into the community, or it is supported people who are headed to institutional care and qualified for institutional care, who was deemed with the

appropriate sports could stay at home. so, this would augment that fund by $1 million. the next poet highlights our home delivered meals program. last year the board and mayor together put about $2 million into food security related to younger adults and older adults. so this would be another enhancement to that work. he would bring our meal program to about 1 million meals. the next item is our community services activity centers and i think some of our district we refer to those at senior centers barroso mitered our centers or roxio can do younger adults as well. this augmentation is a two-year part. it would help us to support the centers in the new work that they have undertaken. even though we have had a downturn for many years, and unable to expand in many ways, we have had growth in the arena

of volunteers, technology, we certainly are in heaven demanding more data from the folks that we contract with. so this would help with those items. the fourth bullet is dollars though be targeted towards a technology council those form just this past year. the council is comprised of people who work in the world of technology, businesses who are serving older adults may be use technology. committee providers, number of city departments, and you have really been looking at how can san francisco address the needs of older adults and younger adults with disabilities so that there included in this digital world that were all part of and not be excluded. it certainly looked that our counterparts in

other parts of the country, but i think one poorly, and other parts of the world, the things they are doing there i did say yesterday i was at the innovation summit and i listen to a gentleman from a major city in japan talk about the use of technology as they have this ever-growing baby boomer population and a shrinking younger adult population. it was quite interesting. then, the last is really very pleased to talk about. this fits with not only are alzheimer's disease and dementia strategic plan benefits with the lgbt senior policy recommendations grant that was just him out about a year ago. this is support for lgbt dementia care project which would not only create a curriculum for this particular population and their families, and friends, but also, to do an outreach massive outreach programs to people to let them know that only about the disease but what is possible.

with that, i would take comments i guess i should say here that we are still in conversation with a budget analyst about his recommendations are not in agreement at this point. shift >> thank you for all your hard work i do think some of special those i think that is really exciting with you to be able to be happening here in the next year. supervisor yee >> thank you. great working with you and your staff. on these issues. and your responsiveness to their needs and your sensitivity in terms of even knowing what their needs are. a lot of times we provide services and wonder why nobody shows up. i guess, the best example of what i have seen needs met or at least beginning to recognize there is a greater need out there than services is the partnership

that we create in district 7 to open up the place over at the westport playground. i do not know if you have had a chance. it is open it has been open from us a year. i was there recently. was totally packed probably were people there then should be. in fact, it was only written about two or three weeks for the word to get out. it was already packed. a couple things though. the services there are great and it seems like one of the more popular programs that they have there is your computer type, how to use the computer. i should be taking these classes. i mention this to other seniors in the

district. we need more of those. so, i am glad were putting some money in there. also, i want to say that it is really a good thing that is lacking and i recognize it with a program that there is no referral piece in there. seniors just, their issues and their provided the services but there is no staff there to actually give referrals to do that health issues were housing issues were any of these things. i just it is a great companion piece. again, i am glad you recognize that i hope that we can expand our services not only in district 7, but i just see the need or the city. thank you i must. >> supervisor mar >> thank you for the great news about the budget. and the enhancements. i want to thank you and your staff for the

great leadership,, but also the coalition serving the elderly senior and disability action network. as you mentioned the conversations on the innovation summit the japanese cities i think realizing that the baby boomers are shipping supervisor yee and i are baby boomers and -- data report in san francisco that one purpose of the city that are baby boomers were aging gracefully many of us, some with severe needs, and our city is really doing our best to address that. but i fear that we are not planning for the huge boom as -- national domestic the elder boom, wherein san francisco will see our population grow from one in five seniors to one in three by 2040, 2050. it is one of those things where i see the budget

having about a quarter of the resources for dos which i think is really great, but i fear not planning for the boom that is before us. i want to say that some of those senior activists are working with a number of supervisors on a potential dignity funds. as national domestic workers alliance calls it, as we age we need to age with dignity. that means caring not just for housing and shelter but it is also congregate or social interaction and also dancing to get things working, but it is also housing as rebuild the city, build build build, there needs to be much more senior affordable housing as well. i want to say on the food security issues they raise for my things really great the home delivered meals has been increased really appreciate that. i know the food security

task force and the tenderloin securities passports howitzers huge gaps. another supervisor be looking at it there still waitlist of three and 40 individuals that have not been met by the budget and illuminating that three and 40 person waitlist is really critical as well as another 4400 individuals, but i know how much that will cost. as the budget analyst analyzed food security we found that one in four people in san francisco young and old right risk of food insecurity. so, the board's commitment to reducing fast agree and ending food is dirty and hunger by 2020, i feel that we have to do much more dumb appreciative of what was done in the budget. i also wanted to just acknowledge, too, that the digital divide is hallowed by the budget analyst report of over 100,000 people not having access to broadband

in a think the definition of what high-speed to the home is really different than what our city's technology department is looking at. we need to do much more that seniors have access to technology. that is where the technology council with seniors from many neighborhoods is so critical and really appreciative of marie -- and the community living for camping and their activism on closing the digital divide and really fighting for a city that aging family, that promotes digital inclusion for everyone. i have think commissioner farrell for calling a -- top of the technology committees but it is for the 85-year-old person they need some advice and is isolated in her home with the children that do not have access to do their homework . we call that the homework gap. onto safer senior activism, acknowledge marie and

then those folks that are working on a dignity funds, as well but i want to just say that i think are still come gaps with food security, and as a couple of other ones the coalition of aging -- serving the elderly identifies in terms of the growing numbers of people in san francisco senior centers that especially the staffing at the aging and disability resource centers. it is not just the aging population. it is also people with disabilities. lastly, case managers at thearious centers in our city that are doing with seniors, some who are aging differently than previous generations, but still with tremendous needs and case management critical that seniors do with everything from criminals trying to abuse them to many other needs in our communities. as the board was forward, i think they are number of staff gaps to address. i think for the right presentation as well.

>> apex shifted supervisor tank >> alannah i want >> i want to comment -- the program seniors can actually obtain the cards and actually eat a meal for free. in their own communities and so i know we have 19 avenue and -- is been very very successful and i they pop up. when i talked to the restaurant owner he says that at least 100 seniors coming each day to get their meal and allows them to really interact with each other but those who are able to be mobile and go out to the community. i think it has been a wonderful program and i hope that they will consider continuing to expand that into other districts and neighborhoods and i think it is a great win-win situation to take advantage job for restaurants that have kitchen to you do not have to go and use resources to staff

it and build it out and allow seniors to integrate in the community so i thank you for your work on that. >> collies, any other questions or colleagues will move to mr. rose's report, please? >> i am sorry. i apologize. >> i will be quick. tomorrow i am barbara carlson director of the opposite early care and education. just a few quick highlights. on the last night i received a conference presentation from a deputy director, shell rutherford back in april. which was able to watch to the miracle of the internet blogs in an airport in san diego. the first thing is as you know with the advent of proposition see we have a transfer of the public education and return funding dedicated for preschoolers the bfa program. from the first five commission to our office at 40 women do not. it is very large increase in the budget this year. we are working very

very closely with the staff of the first five to plan for this transition. as you may know, from this expenditure plan earlier this month we are work ordering over the bulk of those funds to first five for the first year of the two-year budget cycle to administer the program so that we have minimal disruption in terms of program delivery. and get this adequate time to work with the senior staff there in the senior staff in our office as well as with the community to figure out what is the best way for those funds to be administered moving forward. as a process that i think is going very well and you hear that from ms. -- later today. secondly, we have recently the appointment of our citizens advisory committee, our new advisory committee, and we are charged at the office, as you know, that abutment of the citywide plan for early care and education to be presented to you in early 2016. we have had a thank you for the

great appointments. we have had two meetings. we have got a group that is required to meet four times a year but is been willing to commit to meeting monthly and even more frequently during this year so we can present the most robust complete plan possible to you with adequate opportunities for further community input. so, thank you for the apartment of that committee. in terms of our budget, we will have some new funds for facilities this year they will be generated through the québec plan. the developers fee there is 1.4 million available to new and existing providers to increase the number of early care and education slots in the to designated areas market octavia, and the eastern neighborhood. those funds are ministered through our contractor, left, and the decisions about those made to the interagency facilities fund. then, finally, we have an

augmentation of $500,000 to continue to align childcare rate the state regional market rate levels. as you all know, we have a good challenge in early childhood educator we reduction the high cost of living and you for this time many times you forget we the history of cuts at the state level. we build our city programs on those states and federal funds. so with the cuts over time, and the state budget, our providers, both are contractor providers they might hear referred to as our title five group, and all are providers who accept children who are using vouchers whether those vouchers are funded with state funds, federal funds, or city funds, are struggling. so we are likely to see slow increases at the state level in terms of increases both in the standard reimbursement rate for contractor providers. read

5% last year. we learned. another 5% this year and also increases the voucher rate. we are committed to keeping our city funded subsidies at the same level of those increases in the voucher area so for our axis program for homeless families, for our city childcare program, which funds subsidies for infants and toddlers and for subsidies directed to our families who are in the child welfare system. we want to keep those vouchers at the same rate of increase as the state vouchers. so, with that, i will take comments.. i also want to say that we received a budget analyst report that we are not in agreement at this time with the finance. >> thank you. supervisor yee >> thank you. i am glad you brought up the issue of state system. the majority -- the biggest piece of revenue that

comes into serve those families either working or going to school, and are low income i am a comes from the state. some of it of course comes through kenneth but those are more voucher orientated. the state funding, a lot of it goes right directly to our childcare centers. the issue that they face for the last 10 years seems like forever, the reimbursement that they get is pretty limited, or has been cut, while they have no other way to reduce expenditures because he restricted in terms of your ratios of how many adults you need from a children. so, you cannot just cut staff like some other services appeal

to serve the same number.. they are struggling -- the city has stepped up in the last two years while the state has struggled and trying to figure out how to do things right. they have not figured it out yet. this year were not too sure. though for getting close the advocates out there on getting close to getting the state to understand its needs. so, i know that the support that is needed these last two years continues to be needed for this year. what are we doing about that? gleefully supporting a piece or not? that is the first question. >> in terms of the title five contractor provider supervisor yee?
