11:46 am
drastic steps in the housing policy the only way to house people to make a bold step so we're here to say that is time to step forward for working people and step up for working families and need to begin to make them a priority in my district prior to the great recession you could find an affordable housing but now homes are north of one million dollars in the sunset homes well noting of one million dollars in the bloifts approaching one million dollars not for working-class and the market took care of of itself but our chances and opportunity to make a bold move and steps towards working families over the decades
11:47 am
produced 23 thousands of low income housing when a redevelopment agency we produced housing for working-class but no consistent funding stream for working families i'll repeat no consistent funding stream for working families so if you're a janitors if you're a laborer if you're a pledgeer or carpenter and a hotel working or noose no housing designed for you, we don't have the funding we need to make bold steps in the coming weeks we'll talk about inclusionary but i stand here today in full support of everyone that supervisor katie tang we need to step up for working class families. >> (clapping.) >> when the teachers are trying
11:48 am
to get housing and have the lands for free they've come across the reality money streams there is funding for the paraprofessionals but not funding streams for teachers when we can't fill the positions we're in a entries around housing for working people an important aspect of what makes our city strong the next person i want to bring up local local 261 speak from their appreciative mr. josh. >> (clapping.) >> thank you supervisor safai and thank you, of course, to supervisor tang for bringing in forward and to the mayor and all of us we at local 261 join the others members of the building and construction trade to do something special over the past several years that's the most successful hiring program in the
11:49 am
country. >> (clapping.) >> a wouldn't have been possible without the leaders from government and lavish and housing advocates but that breaks down it all breaks down having a chance for local resident to get a job working with the trades from the community and breaks down when they seek to support their families and started a family and be a local hire in san francisco it breaks down when you don't have housing so this is a follow proposal here to talk about working families and middle-income housing generated and building trades everybody coming together like i said local hiring works when we have what? >> housing what do we forbode to build. >> housing human resources all right. let's pass this law. >> thank you next i'll have to say we can't do this would you
