the prop k. >> good morning commissioners, policy and programming director. last week, at the december 5th board meeting the motion to approve the item did not pass after considerable discussion at the board. the commission generally agrees with the programming of the funds to the street resurfacing but the commissioners couldn't agree on the second part of the recommendation to transfer on the $4 million in prop k funds programmed to street resurfacing to manage lanes environmental phase. the board requested to see more evidence that the managed lanes would improve congestion without negatively impacting freeway corridors or local streets and a

more holistic approach to congestion and other areas of concern. in light of the robust discussion, we have advised staff recommendation to only approve the proposed programming of the state funds to street resurfacing projects and this is a request to approve on first read to meet the state's timeline of december 15th of when we need to submit the applications to the california transportation commission and we would defer action on the fund exchange to provide more time for staff to complete planning studies and address commissioner's concerns. there's a list of street resurfacing projects funded by the state funds and a map that you can't see particularly well -- yes, you can see it. >> if we were to approve this as revised given the december 15th

date, this would be the final approval, not the first read, is that correct? >> that's correct. it would be approval on first read. >> is there a motion? made by commissioner farrell, seconded by commissioner tang. colleagues -- are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. and on the item as revised, same house, same call, the item is finally approved. next item, please. >> clerk: item 11, programming 2.813.264 to the san francisco municipal transportation agency non infrastructure project, this is an action item. >> i want to start by briefly thanking colleague commissioner

tang and her staff and my staff who listened to i think very sophisticated discussion we had here a number of months ago. i want to thank tilley chang and the ta staff and miss lafour but particularly commissioner tang, she did a lot of the heavy lifting. with that, commissioner tang? >> thank you. i echo my thanks to the ta staff and as well amber crab as well. i just encourage our colleagues to look through the packet. there is a revised organization chart where you can see the new structure for the program. so we have decided to move everything to fall under the sfcta because i think it will

work more well with the schools and needs brought to our attention and so i think all schools will benefit from this change. we have found a way to address this without reducing any of the funding to the nonprofit partner agencies. i think overall the out come was great and i look forward to continuing the discussion another day. >> thank you commissioner tang. i neglected to thank the mta and department of public health and san francisco unified school district for really coming to quite a number of meetings and being willing albeit with a little reluctance at first, to restructure this. and thank you commissioner tang. is there a motion to approve item 11 made by commissioner tang. seconded by commissioner yee.

>> good morning everyone. thank you for being here today. i just want to thank all of you for coming and give a special thanks to the va who is here joining us, they're important partners in this project. the owners of the site, there they are. thank you for making this site available and for being partners with the city on this and other sites to help address homelessness. we want to thank the nonprofit providers running the site, everybody from dish, if you can raise your hand. many dish staff are here and providing services on site. everybody from the mayor's office and their staff. thank you very much. this is an important day for --

sorry and dell seymour. i forgot my other boss, the local chair of the coordinating homeless board along with ralph peyton who couldn't join us today. this is the opening of a new supportive housing site in san francisco to serve chronically homeless veterans, that adds to the 70 units we have, and this is important in mayor lee's desire and hope to get -- i shouldn't say desire and hope, his initiative and order for us to get 1,000 people off the streets during the winter and this is 70 more units of housing to help achieve that goal. we have a few people who are going to give remarks today. first i want to invite beth stokes, the director of community services, beth as many of you know has been long time activist and leader in

homelessness and used to be the executive director of hamilton family center that i used to be the director of back in the day and has done work in southern california and here in san francisco. she is new to her job and we're happy and blessed to have beth stokes here. beth, thank you. (applause) >> thank you jeff. as jeff indicated, i'm new to my position and i'm here to express my gratitude for all of you who have helped us get where we are today. welcome to the auburn, the new home for 70 u.s. veterans. (applause) (cheering) it is truly an exciting day as jeff indicated. we're deeply grateful for mayor breed for being here, we know it's been a challenging time for the city and the city family. so thank you. i want to thank all our partners in the room this morning, there are many.

to those who are not with us, to get us where we are. where we are today in addition to the 70 homes is closer to ending chronic homelessness to veterans in san francisco. we have 11 veterans who have moved in and one moving in today. that's great progress. i wanted to loosely quote something i heard from mayor edwin lee that i heard not long ago that was u.s. veterans fought for our country, they shouldn't have to fight for homes. i was very moved by that and it's something i wanted to share. i wanted to -- acs is proud to be part of the team effort to provide solutions to homelessness in the form of supportive housing and ecs will continue to partner in supportive housing in san francisco. for this project, the master tenant and lead service provider and proud to be part of what is

a collaborative effort. with the finish line in sight, in all of our collective efforts to end chronic homelessness for u.s. veterans and moving closer to a functional zero number is a remarkable accomplishment that requires great partnership and the auburn has many. i would like to begin, you know, the planning actually to thank a variety of people, i wanted to start with mayor edwin lee's former office of hope and acknowledge that effort and how that started. that has been carried forward with great determination by the department of homelessness and supportive housing. i say new but i know it's been over a year and a half. ecs would like to thank the numerous community members that helped to make it happen, many in our city family, our city

supervisors for support and great effort, veterans administration, thank you. we would like to thank the department of housing and urban development. hudd has truly been a partner, particularly with the obama's administration, the efforts of the president's wife and call to action to end veterans homelessness. and we would like to thank our local san francisco housing authority and of course san francisco local home for efforts collaborative. and their work to hold us accountable to get to the zero number. so thank you. and the san francisco association of realtors. in these partnerships new people step forward and step to the table and we're grateful for their efforts and they help us turn a building into a home with their welcome home project so thank you to them.

last but not least, ecs would like to thank dish and their co-directors and their team. the operations of the auburn is a collaborative partnership with dish. and with dish, we're excited to have the opportunity to work with them. this is our first effort in working with them. we're very excited, we thank them for their continued excellence and continued effort to get us where we are today. thank you. our board of directors and the remarkable team at ecs. along with dish who rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to ensure u.s. veterans had keys in their hand before the start of the new year. this includes our director of housing development and asset management and her team. liz is here in the front row. anna cooper, and i would like to thank scott ecker, and others

leading the supportive housing team and i want to invite everyone afterwards, we invite you up stairs to room 302 to look at the accommodations at the auburn. with that, i want to turn it back over. thank you. (applause) >> thank you beth and thank you for acknowledging this is sort of a bitter sweet moment. many of us are mourning the loss of mayor lee but we're grateful and lucky to have the leadership of london breed who is currently our acting mayor and mayor breed has picken up the tradition that mayor lee had of calling me at least once a day -- (laughter) when there's a homeless person on the street and needs help. that gives me great comfort, because like mayor lee, mayor breed is leading our city and has so many things to deal with, i can't even imagine but takes the time every day -- not

saying move this person out of here, but hey, i see someone suffering, i see someone struggling, could you please get your team out to help that person. please join me in welcoming and thanking acting mayor london breed. (applause) >> thank you. thank you jeff so much. i'm so excited about being here today. i was with mayor lee when he made the announcement after our first lady michelle obama basically challenged cities all over the country to end homelessness for our veterans. and mayor lee took that challenge very seriously and has really stepped up and pushed aggressively to make sure we as a city not only end homelessness for our veterans, but we do everything we could to provide the wrap-around services they need to be able to live with dignity. and that's what's so amazing

about this incredible place here. 70 homes with supportive services. i know there's been support for veterans for so many years and mr. simpson, i'm excited to welcome you today to your home. you served our country and we are now here to serve you. it's the least we can do for people who have put their lives on the line time and time again. and i'm just really proud of san francisco for stepping up to the plate and providing the services. over 150 homes already provided for veterans in the city. we are well on our way to making sure that we end homelessness for veterans. but we can't stop there. we have to make sure that we stick to mayor lee's pledge of getting 1,000 homeless people off the street. it's cold outside. just imagine what it's like to have no place to go.

just imagine what it's like to have no bathroom to use on a regular basis. the struggle that we see on our streets are struggles that so many people deal with every day. it's why we have expanded our shelter system and adding 75 new beds to our system so we can accommodate more residents. the creative ways -- we have to provide more creative ways to get more people off the streets and part of what i'm so excited about in the work that jeff is doing and the mayor's office, yes, we have to have shelters, yes, we have to work with different organizations and navigation centers and all the options we have but our goal ultimately is to make sure we find people affordable, stable, permanent housing so they can live in our city in dignity.

that is really the end -- (applause) of where we want to get to. so i'll tell you what i'm really most excited about. our emergency navigation centers, our behavioral health sites, the interfaith council winter shelter, our heading home campaign, which specifically i have worked closely with with park police station. they have done an amazing job in helping us work with people and connecting them with loved ones and returning them home to other places throughout the u.s. we will utilize every resource possible to work with the folks in the streets to make sure they're cared for. just this past week we cut the ribbon on the respite center, people who are out on our streets who are maybe dealing with health related issues, where they go to the hospital and then put back on the street

and they can't get healthy, when you think about even our own personal lives and you think about when we get sick, we have a home to go home to to get better. just imagine if you're living on the streets and you get sick and you can't take care of yourself and you don't have the support and you can't stay in hospital for the extended period of time you need. all of these things, all of these things are going to help make our city a better place for all residents and make the quality of life a better quality of life for all residents and as jeff said, it's not just pushing people from one end of the city to another, it's about trying to find out specifically what is going on with that individual person and what we need to do as a city to wrap around those services to make sure they get the help and support they need which is what people like dell seymour continue to push for every single day. i'm picking up the mantal to

continue the work that we know mayor lee cared so much about, and here today is a testament to all the blood, sweat and tears to get this job done, 70 people's lives will be forever changed because of the project. i want to thank every organization and group that's been a part of it. i have a list because it does take a village. it takes a village. and i want to start with the department of veterans affairs, the department of housing and urban development, the san francisco housing authority, delivering innovation in supportive housing. community services, homes for heros collaborative, brilliant corners and the patels basically working with us to allow this space to be used for this particular purpose. it's been amazing, i know it's

been in your family for generations and you both grew up here. this is an amazing testament to your family to allow us to use this for this particular purpose. it's going to change and save lives. thank you so much everyone. (applause) >> thank you mayor breed. good thing about being the emcee, i get to come back and say what i forgot to say. (laughter) it's not out of a lack of love and gratitude i forgot to thank my own staff from the department of homelessness and supportive housing, margo, randy, emily, chris, thank you for all of the work you did to help make this project happen as well and help the 70 people who will be moving in to the site. we are blessed to have mr. simpson here today, one of the

new tenants of the site and i think mayor lee and many others have said it well, people who have fought for our country shouldn't fight for a place to live. every individual deserves to have a roof over their heads, certainly the people who have served our country so well, he served in conflict in vietnam and we're so happy to have him be part of the auburn community. thank you for joining us today. (applause) >> i'm elden simpson, being around all you great people -- it's good to meet people who put this all together.

and i thank you. (applause) >> thank you very much for being here and for your service to the country and for saying a few words. we appreciate your presence here. i'm going to close it out with the person who will be managing the site and doing the hard work of keeping the building going, denise works for dish and will be here -- her staff will be here 24/7 making sure this facility is a decent, safe quiet place for people to live. she's going to say a few words and then take those interested on a tour. thank you very much. (applause) >> hi everyone. i wanted to welcome everyone here. i did want to say thank you to our fiscal sponsor for being here and supporting us through the project.

and i want to thank the ecs collaboration, which is extremely critical and important and that dish is fiercely committed to ending homelessness and the case managers, desk clerks, janitors, people at the ground level to welcome our veterans home. we have 11 veterans -- we're going to wrap this up, i have a move-in a little later. we'll make it 12. and happy holidays to everyone and thank you for all of your work and collaboration and i am extremely, extremely grateful that the auburn is here. and we're looking forward to having the building leased up by the end of february is our goal. thank you. and whoever wants a tour, we'll be there. thank you. (applause) ♪

welcome home, man. >> good afternoon everyone. i'm barbara garcia, director of health. we have mayor london breed and supervisor jane kim. we're so happy to be here today, we're opening a new part of the respite providing services for those who need that kind of support from our shelter system. this respite has been open for

over 10 years and providing over 45 beds for those needing support around alcoholism and around another 30 beds for those coming out of hospital who need additional support. these are focused on the shelter system to ensure that those individuals who need more medical support and i want to acknowledge supervisor kim who has been a champion for the expansion, particularly when she spent time in the shelter and saw that many individuals needed additional medical support. this took about two years to open with the renovation and with the staffing and we're so happy today to be with you to open these new beds, as well as the fact that the staff is there already, we have served over 3,000 homeless individuals in the past 10 years providing the upmost care for these individuals who really need support and provide them the additional support to continue their pathway into housing. at this point, i would like to

ask for mayor breed to give us some comments and she has been a big champion around homeless issues and very happy for the respite to be open today. thank you very much. (applause) >> thank you. i want to start by thanking director garcia for all the work that her and her team have put in to really making this dream a reality. supervisor kim has been an amazing champion on this expansion. and our mayor, mayor ed lee actually had an opportunity to tour the facility. he was really excited about what it could do for some people that we know that are facing challenges, our most vulnerable population. we think it's as simple as showing up to a shelter, but just imagine if you have a medical issue. just imagine if you have a wound or something going on with your body that basically you have not

been medically treated for. people who sadly are living on our streets need medical support, too. often times, imagine when we're in the same situation and we stay home and need time to heal, this is what the respite center is going to provide, a place for people to heal, a bed, a safe space, three meals a day, support they need and 30% of the people who have been helped in this respite center have been permanently housed. that's been amazing. the staff is not only providing the medical care, they're providing the social services that go with helping people transition into permanent housing. our goal has to be to make sure people are taken care of and this is one way to do that. to go from 45 to 75 beds is tremendous. which means we have a larger

capacity to serve more people and that means everything for the person using this service. so i'm happy to be here today. i want to thank the staff and everyone who has been active in making sure that this space is not only providing care, but is providing compassion and support and resources because we want to make sure it's a wrap-around service that will eventually help people into something permanent where they have homes to live and the support they need to be sustainable in our housing market that is so challenging for so many. thank you for being here and with that, i want to turn it over to my colleague supervisor kim who has been a champion and an important part of making this possible. the funding and all of the things we needed to do to get this place open, she was a fierce advocate for that. i want to turn it over to supervisor kim. (applause)

>> thank you. thank you mayor breed for being here today. it's a little sad to be here without mayor ed lee. i had fought and advocated for $4 million to expand the medical respite shelter and i remember the day he called me and said he was going to make it an important piece of the budget. while it takes some time for the build up, it's amazing we have this resource in our city here today. director garcia mentioned why i came to fight for the medical respite shelter, it was because when i was appointed acting mayor, much more briefly, my staff decided i would spend my first night as acting mayor in one of our single adult shelters in my district. in my first night there it became clear to me that

homelessness is not just a poverty issue, it's a public health issue. the residents staying there were far oral far older and sicker than i imagined and we're seeing so many brothers and sisters aging in places on the streets. so i worked with director garcia to fight for our adult shelters and to see what the nurses are doing every day at sanctuary, next door, they are doing god's work. our residents need to see a nurse every single day and need the medical attention they can get at the shelters. the expansion of a 24/7 medical respite shelter is a huge resource in our city. i don't need to tell anyone what we're seeing on the streets today, people are so sick and to have this resource with increased beds and 24-hour

attention from doctors, nurses, psychiatrists is how we address homelessness in san francisco today. i want to thank director garcia, who has been an impassioned person working on this and to dr. barry stephen who is not here today and kate shuten and dr. alice chen. and finally to president breed, who knows -- probably the supervisor who knows my district the best on the board of supervisors, she's in fact the only colleague who constantly asks me of the needs because she knows our residents there. i want to thank you for your support and for your support of

a safe injection site. we also have to address substance abuse in our city as well. thank you for being here and i'm incredibly excited to double the expansion of the medical respite shelter here today. (applause) >> thank you supervisor and mayor breed. i'm honored to be able to present our doctor and medical director of the respite dr. kelly egan. dr. kelly egan has professionalism and compassion in the way she has brought the new respite expansion and all the patients she serves directly. so dr. kelly egan. (applause) >> thank you supervisor kim, mayor breed and director garcia. as medical director i have experienced this program's transformation first hand in recent months. medical respite has served the

sickest and most medically complex people in homelessness. in the past we have accepted referrals only from hospitals and now we can accept them from shelters for people who are too sick to stay there and are at risk. i want to put a face for the clients we served. we recently cared for a gentleman with a new cancer diagnosis and he needed a place to rest and recoup rate. without a bed -- (laughter) without a bed at respite, cancer treatment may not have been an option for this gentleman. and we have been working with a woman working intensely with physical therapy, she can walk and take care of herself now again and ready to go back to the shelters. and we're seeing an increasing aging population among the

homeless, people who are cognitively impaired and unable to keep themselves safe. they receive behavioral health, primary care, assistance with medications and referrals to psycho social services such as housing. personally i want to thank the staff of medical respite and sobering who provide the care day in and day out and shelter house street medicine, these are the care teams that provide compassionate and patient-centered care for our patients every day. i'm proud to be a part of the team. thank you. (applause) >> here are scissors for the supervisor and mayor to share.
