moderate income we have a massive gap in terms of our production of moderate income housing and housing at the high ends of low income this is seemed like it make sense to politically apply to offer a somewhat higher ami percentage four group housing we before we introduce that amendment we've worked with the district attorney's office and we're advised we could do that the city attorney didn't have as much time to review those things so shortly after the hearing we were advise by the city attorney's office that under prop c we needed to keep it at 55 percent thank you to the city attorney's office for was it also does to do a continual review and after the hearing we will, of course, honor that

4 buildings tmcs over 4 hundred residents we represent from young kids up to seniors and affordable housing is something that is necessary for everybody there is too much luxury housing being built and therefore to have group housing to be excluded to be be mandated not inclusionary group housing is a disservice to all the residents of san francisco because there's a lot of people that are struggling i myself was homeless at one point my son is homeless a vet i know many many people who are homeless or struggle to make it or people living in a tiny sro home for which of years it is important we get the homeless off the streets to give them back their dignity and make that

easier for them to be able to turn things around quickly you see me, i'm the president of the association on disability but 2 analyses years ago i was homeless to be able to turn things around quickly housing is crucial so i'll express about you to remember we need to include housing for ink including those are the thirty percent a lot of of us are struggling we want our dignity back thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm alexander a community planner with the tenderloin community association we're happy to find out that supervisor wiener's amendment will be withdrawn we didn't support it, in fact a lot of people turned out and go like

like this to say we approve inclusionary hope to have group housing the way it was written many of us agree an inclusionary dial is to aid i hope you'll vote to apply inclusionary to group housing thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i just want to explain i support the statements that were made by the previous speaker who represents the same community where i'm from and want to congratulate you on further maturing rollins the earlier proposal was nodded o not beneficial to the community i want to point out that health care is a pretty good ouch u all

the next target to include health care pertaining to dental programs for people that don't have coverage a lot of people don't - are having tooth decay so the next guess rehabilitation allocation for health care include that as well as i want to step back on another topic for the things with the sheriff's department the sheriff kept that person that murdering murdered that female at pier 14 he explained he followed the constitutional law those charges were dropped against against that person and he has until 12

clock maintained to release that person so if he's following the procedures he's going against that and that female was murdered that's discussing and that sanctuary law is in violation of the constitutional and people that are treated like they're not here illegal. >>was not fair to kate steinle so we need to withdraw this thank you >> >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you for holdings to hearing i'm sam with faith fools i work and little in the tenderloin i want to say i support the inclusionary requirement for group housing but the number of people that showed up today for the discussions that are promoted by

the proposed amendment tells us really that the slice of the pie for affordable is too small 12 percentage is too little and seek to raise the cap it brings to bear a kind of competition for a small pills of the pie part of the large conversation how we the the affordable and low income and that's a very nuance conversation that i think has to happen in places other than a subcommittee of the board of supervisors thank you for your thoughtfulness there guess no easy answer onto how we look at it your patience is much appreciated thank you. >> next speaker >> hi good afternoon to everyone and my name is emmy i live in

tenderloin 10 years i'm a board member of the tenderloin filipino american community association i'm here today to support supervisor jane kim proposal to include group housing to comply with the inclusionary ordinance it says all developers create a market rate housing must provide 12 percent of the units are prices affordable to households earnings 55 percent of ami we believe that is all these market rate developers should contribute to affordable housing stability but insuring they comply with the inclusionary ordinance i'm a senior and have health concerns and i know that many low income

filipinos living in the selma tenderloin are being displaced because of the not affordable housing i'm concerned about the proposal supervisor wiener to only provide affordable housing for households making 90 percent of area in the mind protect arena or rather than the inclusionary ordinance those are alarming the present for developers to not comply with existing inclusionary ordinance many low income people seniors people with disabilities middle-income families not able to stay in san francisco if market rate developers like group housing developers will

provide - >> thank you. >> thank you. your time is up >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (clapping.) >> ma'am in hat, sir can you wait - yes come on come on you're next you're next. >> can you help her out? thank you >> oh. >> i'm a resident of tenderloin for 20 years now a member of the tenderloin filipino-american community association

first, i'd like to thank supervisor jane kim for proposal to insure that our proposed housing should subject to the same requirements as mandated in inclusionary ordinance i have lived at alexander residence at the senior housing for 20 years i wouldn't be living in san francisco had it been for the tenderloin affordable housing i am concerned that if the proposal supervisor wiener is passed this will offer double housing crisis in san francisco so i ask supervisor wiener to reconsider his proposal and withdraw this amendment to inclusionary housing to 90

percent of area middle income but support supervisor kim's proposal to insure the group housing compliance will have inclusionary ordinance thank you (clapping.) >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm the vice president of the council association i'm stressed because but this basically is asking for this companies that has the money and funds and resources to give more money saying to them please you have plenty don't give we're going to pay for the necessities we all low income have to give

more if our rent gets raised we're not going to be able to survive cut food and health care and, yes pay more rents does that sound logical to anybody so, please vote on something percentage that makes sense we're struggling to pay real things like cell phones and food and those who have the money to do not so good thank you have a good day. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please >> good afternoon. i'm james i live in the tenderloin and month of my remarks are directed to supervisor wiener because of what. >> sir, sir actually your remarks have to be directed to everyone. >> okay. i came to san francisco and have $35 in my pocketed i worked and got out of the shelter and go on sro now

i'm old and disability and poor so at what point is if described that which con judicious i should be sent from san francisco because i can't live here anymore we need housing we need housing we can afford not to put more in that only people with money can afford thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please (clapping.) come on you guys know the rules show our spirit let's see okay there it is please. >> next speaker. >> >> thank you i'm colleen from the sthoilgz foundation i'm glad to hear about the city attorney's amendment soiled this legislation will go forward as written i think that one of the reasons

why this is an issue that is so important to us because for sthoilgz we've been in the tenderloin for 65 years and i've been working at st. anthony's for 10 years over the lifetime working there when i started working you know market rate small ramps without kitchens were actually affordable to our guests people on ssi and people on extremely low income arrest ssi is the maximum amount is $889 around $10,000 a year those types of rooms are no longer affordable for people another motivator they used to be it would be great to talk about

ways to expand the housing opportunity for people that are lowest end of income in our city and i would love to be part of that discussion as we go forward. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm the general meadows i live downtown for 40 years the housing situation this right here represents the 12 percent and this represents the 80 percent of housing that we for people that have more money than we do our city shouldn't be put under the burden for the places i think you should work for the benefit of all people there are hardly any homes for the salaries what you're doing is

fort worth about the poor you're saying that the poor - the poor are here you know this why are you working them so much but at what costs will you do this the more you push with people with more money the less poor people will be able to stay and when the higher prices the poor will be pushed out it effects everyone there are a lot of proposals in the group housing room for them and us the poor needs housing like everything else so build housing for them not in a building but rent housing and then at the same time make housing affordable for other people that is fair if you want

money you'll continue to push towards this but god is looking at you >> next speaker. >> oh. >> hi my name is hi carol i live in the castro i'd like to thank the previous speakers for their comments supervisor wiener and colleen from st. anthony's and alexander from tmcs as i observed this process over the spring i've noticed it went down as a the community spoke out the neighbors in the tenderloin came into relationship with the developer i am happy to see people coming and talking to each other like taking into account the desires of the current residents and neighborhood is really important and the general we need more

housing for everyone in san francisco at all levels thank you for all your work on that. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors david elliott louis an activist for a number of tonight organization including the county participating and we'll have a network of another member here a couple of things i'm grateful that supervisor wiener withdrew his amendment the amendment and the one that supervisor jane kim and commissioner avalos put forth i totally support we have to not only for the inclusionary percent of housing but look at the percentage of ami at 55 percent of ami is good having inclusionary housing at 90 e.r. 80 percent ami is not

good and that's not the inclusionary that 12 percent go onsite the 15 percent is a low new i know that supervisor jane kim has done better we can be more inclusionary and have more inclusionary housing with a lower ami cut off no more than 50 percent of ami that helps not only the middle-income but the middle-income poor people are left out of the ami inflation but people that are working class might have a chance we have a housing trust fund a quarter of a million dollars that is unsent come on time to realize release those inform people that fall to the
