vash households so they already have va case management but we will be bringing more services to the property, and we're still working on that. but there is a 25:1 case manager to resident ratio in the hut vas 14dh at least initially, and we have a 25:1 ratio for the work that we do ourselves. >> okay. and it sounds like the va related services are provided by sources to plow share. are there other services that would be provided by other entities? >> no not at this site. there will be hud vash case workers. we have space for them to meet with residents on-site. we provide -- we sort of hold the clinical envelope for the

island. we have the program manager -- we're there 24-7 our staff are on call 24-7. the va is there during business hours. it works well together the partnership. >> that sounds great. i'm certainly very supportive of any supportive services that you can build into the program. it's critically important to the success of this development to have on-site services and case managers and space to that for even just group recvational type of uses. i'm sure you're working on that as you have in the past on other projects. i do have a question for staff, i think i saw in the lease that it said the use is specifically for housing, so is it okay that we don't also specifically mention the for services and is that consistent, like fine with the d for d? >> yeah, it is consistent with

the d for d. i'll take another look at the language, but i think the services would be considerednessconsidered considered ancillary to the housing but i'll take a look at that. >> okay. and one question about the rents. does that commence at the execution of the option agreement or at the actual start of those -- i guess i don't know when -- >> on occupancy. >> on occupancy? okay. >> yeah. >> okay. thank you. >> yes, mike. [ inaudible ] >> let me just say that i am so pleased to have you here today. this is just the first formal action that we've taken on a specific project, and it is the start of the affordable housing project that will go on on treasure island so we're really pleased to see you, and it is this vision of permanently affordable housing

not in the private market. it's done by nonprofits and -- and that collaboration between source to "politico" share and the chinatown community development center i know that you've done great projects before at 1510 2id s. we just had a great breaking in mission way, and i think that's an example of a collaboration between two nonprofits, one which provides the great social services the other provides the housing development capablities and it's the type of collaboration that we would like to see. so i would also like to say that this is an important site because it's going to be the first development together with the other one which mercy will be doing, which will be on a very important street for treasure island. it's the shared street which is a concept which all of our urban design and our architects

and our staff really fought to have and we want to ensure its success, and the way that it's going to be successful is if there's active uses along that street. so we are very interested in the design. you've got a great architectural team. methune and solomon are one of the best architects of housing, affordable, but we want to hear what those ideas are and make sure that you come back to us as you develop those design concepts and the concepts for the project because we can give you our insight. but very very pleased to have you today. before we take action on the board, i would like to open it up to the public. are there any members of the public who would like to address the board. >> hi. i'm sherry williams with one

treasure island. source to plow shares is one of our charter members, and let me just echo some of your statements about how wonderful -- this is really a milestone. when you're doing this work for decades, and you finally see site control for affordable housing that serves veterans, i just think we should take a moment and really celebrate it because it is exactly what we've all been working towards for such a long time. they've provided hundreds of people already on treasure island a place to heal. one of the things that we always thought as one of our key members was that you know treasure island being a former military base, folks that had been trained for war and sent to war now have a place to come back to heal and rebuild their lives, and they've been in the process of rebuilding hundreds of people's lives since they've been operating their housing on treasure island, and now they're going to be doing it in a permanent new development, the very first affordable on the island and i'm just so

happy to see this come to fruition, and of course we'renthusiastically supporting this action. >> any others. >> thank you for listening today. my concern is there's not enough room for the veterans housing for people with families. there's only one or two bedrooms available for people in the current existing state so from what i understood, it was targeted towards older people but there's no room for families. like i mean i have two children right now. i live in a -- i live in a two-bedroom home on chanette court, and it's not enough because i probably want to have another child, i want to be stable i want to have somewhere for me to grow into and right now all they're concerned about is people that

are -- in a senior state or they're developmentally disabled or there's something going on not really developmentally. but they've been maybe i nom inoculated with something, so for seniors, but not with families. so if there's a space that could be made for active veterans that have maybe a family of three or more. even if it's just a very small percentage like, 10% that's available for families that need at least three bedrooms. so if i have three children as a female, i can't live in a two bedroom and a big closet. i need at least a three bedroom and a front room so i can sleep in the front room and the children can have their space. so i'd like for you to consider maybe expanding on what you currently have made and then

make it better. thank you. >> let me just say that we have a broad housing program, and the fact is affordable housing that will be for families as well. that is certainly the -- there's -- there's different groups that do different types of housing and certainly, there will be one. thank you. are there any other comments? yeah no i'm sorry. we have a motion -- we have a motion and a second. all those in favor, say aye. all those opposed. the ayes have it. thank you. next item, please. >> item number nine resident relocation advisory consultations update. >> so while we're waiting for the powerpoint to come up we provided an update last month,

and we -- following the -- the open house that we'd had on january 20th and today i wanted to give you an update on the progress that -- that arws has made in -- you know in engaging with existing residents on consultations on what their benefits are and what their options will be in the future. so although we're about four years away from our -- from the project that we -- we just discussed being ready for occupancy we do want to start the process of engaging the pre-dda market rate households in the discussion about what their rights and benefits are so that we can -- we can inform the construction of our affordable projects as they come forward. so we had the january community meeting. we've been conducting the

household interviews and our intention is may-june of this year to be issuing letters of eligiblity to residents. as i mentioned at the -- previously at our open house out of our roughly 200 potentially eligible households we had 155 residents representing 113 eligible households attend in the breakdown of those households we have some households that hold section 8 vouch vouchers and so they will automatically be qualified to take affordable units as we build them and then 170% potentially over income households for which we'll need to build transition units, as well, although some of them maybe will qualify for affordable units, and part of what we're hoping to learn

through these discussions with residents. so as of last saturday arws had completed 94 interviewed so not quite half of the pre-dda households and they have an additional 18 scheduled for saturday the 23rd or saturday the 24th. and we did have -- we had 11 no shows or missed appointments and follow up with those households as well as reaching out to other households to sign up. we originally were taking appointments on tuesdays, fridays, and saturdays, but the demand has been overwhelmingly for saturdays, so that's what we're focused on now, and we plan to continue the consultations through the end of april. so now, part of our communication will be where it had been more open-ended, we're really trying to get people in by the end of april and

following up with phone calls and door knocking to get people engaged. and if necessary conduct the -- the conversation in -- in the resident's households. and as i mentioned it -- following -- after the interviews we plan to send letters to each of the participating households summarizing our kind of joint understanding of household status eligiblity and benefit options so that we have you know a clear record of at this moment in time where -- where households stand for both the households and for our records. the -- some of the feedback that -- or things that we've learned through the interviews we've had to date there is a great interest in home ownership opportunities with more than 60% of households indicating an interest in home

ownership which could either be market rate or inclusionary for sale affordable home ownership. some -- some interest roughly one in eight, have expressed an interest in the in lieu payment, and asked about when that benefit might become available. and then, there's been some discussions about the complexities of urban housing options some interest from multifamily households in splitting households at some point, rather than remaining roommates in perpetuity. and then also some discussion in how changes of number of household members affects the size of the tran transitioning unit that would be offered to a household. i'll go into a little more depth on the first three of

those, just kind of highlighting some issues that we're evaluating and may come back down the road for additional discussion with board members on. in the home ownership area, one treasure island had been in discussion to plan a home buyer workshop. originally they were looking at january but with us initiating this process they had scheduled that out to may so this is a first time home buyers' workshop that's open to all households, pre-dda, post-dda or tidi households one treasure island households so help inform them of what it will take to qualify to buy a home and to help them with some of the financial planning and some of the other aspects of that. as you see here it's a

three-part workshop series but in addition we're working with san francisco housing development corporation to have an april meeting in advance of those particularly again trying to target those pre-dda villages households to give them additional information on the down payment assistance benefits that are available under the thr and r's and also give them more understanding of the income certification requirements to qualify for an inclusionary affordable unit. on the in lieu opportunities, the -- when the thr and res were being drafted back in 2010, the public comment that was taken in through that process led us to have an early

in lieu provisions within the thr and r's. the thr and r's don't establish a specific time frame for that but looking back on the records of the public meetings and the presentation of the tida board the presentation was around that potential five to eight years following the execution of the dda and even when you consider the roughly three-plus year delay that we had for the ceqa litigation, we're entering the front end of that window. when you take out that we're about to leave the back end of that window. so i think we may be recommending that sometime in the near future potentially next fiscal year, we make an early offer to households that won't be able to stay through the development of a

replacement replacement unit but subject to further conversation. on the affordable housing options, you know there's -- there's a lot to cover with the residents on what it takes to be qualified but one thing that is kind of clear in the way that the thr and r's were drafted, they--they're drafted with the assumption that if someone could potentially qualify for an affordable unit they would certainly pursue it. and those -- so that under the thr and r's, the default for failing to qualify for an affordable unit or complete the paperwork for an affordable unit is that you're given an overincome unit. so -- but you know it's not -- the decision of whether to pursue an affordable unit or a market rate unit is more

nuanced than just do i qualify for a lower rent because you may also be offered a different number of bedrooms if you're moving into an affordable unit. so people are sometimes trying to make very significant choices with obviously long-term implications for the household depending on what they choose. and so we're looking at that and also some people might choose not to pursue an affordable unit because of the disclosures involved in the income recertification recertification processes. but then, also you know, depending on the composition of a household, they might qualify for an affordable rental unit or they might qualify for an affordable unit but because those are priced with

households as different percentages of area median income people won't typically -- well would not be able to be making a choice between an affordable for rent or an affordable for sale they'll be making a choice between their inclusionary -- or their transition unit under the thr and r's and an affordable rental or an affordable for purchase option. and also you know just to highlight again that for those that do pursue the affordable for sale, they are eligible for the down payment assistance, just as households pursuing a market rate for sale unit would be under the thr and r's. so these are some of the kind of issues that were -- have kind of come to the surface and we're evaluating what potential policy recommendations we may make down the road related to these. so going forward, as i

mentioned we're going to be continuing our outreach to try and complete as many consultations by the end of april as we can. at this point, you know i think we're trying to learn -- to get a good sense of the community and the range of interests and preferences, and a representation of you know numbers of households that may be qualified for affordable housing and so forth. so if we don't get to 100% but if we can get to 75 or 80, i think we'll consider ourselves successful at this point. and then we'll continue to review those results with the board at the may and june meetings possibly with, as i mentioned some policy recommendation going forward, including potentially extending the in lieu. and again during that same time frame, after we've

completed the consultations issuing the summary letters back to the households to give them the memorialize where the current status of each household is. with that i'll take your questions. >> thank you. >> i -- just one sort of -- just my personal experience with being called to do the survey and as you probably know it's a very political time, also and i'm getting i don't know how many calls a day, you know about one candidate or another candidate or something like that, and i do believe i was called by somebody -- you know somebody doing that for just sitting the tida work. and i -- you didn'the didn't really

explain initially what he was calling about, so i just assumed it was some meddlesome call from a politician or something, so i did what i always do. i'm sorry. i'm really busy. call me later, hang up. but now i realize that was probably somebody i should have talked to so perhaps if they could state clearly at the very beginning what they are calling about, it would be helpful. it would be nice if i could just listen to everybody who calls, but it doesn't work that way. but i would certainly give them a lot of time because it's great work and it's very important, as you pointed out. so it's just one more step towards the final re-christening of the two

islands, so thank you. >> thank you, bob, for the update and show us that we're moving along. some questions at the last board meetings and the one before that, i asked the consultant to make sure he have a timeline that can be more or less like an ex-set spreadsheet. for instance if you look at the first slide that you provided and you put your circle for the meeting, your presentation is absolutely great. it has -- it had the supporting documents, but i think we're going to get to a point after we've exhausted and doing everything that we're doing. the outreach is going to come to place, all these meetings are going to come to place. so we're going to have all those meetings, rather than see it at the back, let's see it up front now. let's see the consultant, sfhdc go to the way of the committee

meetings and be there it needs to be transparent it needs to be obvious so that when someone comes in and says they are not at any meeting, they do not have any time then, that proceeded sheet will be available we can send it to all the stakeholders. i'm speaking from experience now. i'd like to see that. those workshops in home ownership, that is a given. i'd like to say that. the second thing you mentioned and in the outreach are we just limiting the outreach to also 30 people on the island, you know the main land and sfhdc when they sent out, how did this outreach, this combination of the stakeholders that we're reaching out, are they solely the population that we're targeting or are other

folks also being invited to this meeting? for me i'd like the clarification. and also some of the concerns that you mentioned has to do with splitting households i didn't really know how to qualify that. sometimes we really need to know what are they talking about here you know what do they mean by splitting households any of these issues. and i know that we talk about the guidelines, it's part of what all these workshops are all about, specific guidelines that we have development over the years that right now should be a template as we're conducting all these workshops so that before we even get to the selection the residents really know what we are talking about here. we need to have that template be present at every, every meeting workshop, and opportunity, so that when we get to work in april, another

month, then, the residents themselves will know we can do decisions for them, but either-or, and at that time we're ready to move to june or whatever, let's pull that altogether and make sure we already have that and all the implications impacted to make those decisions and we also have a timeline to move all those things forward. thank you. >> thank you, linda. paul did you have a comment? >> very similar to linda's coms. you know, at -- comments. at first blush i thought oh, we've only reached half of the folked in consultation and i think it makes a lot of sense. but my concern is when this period closes that we don't get folks saying hey, i was never offered that opportunity or i didn't understand what my opportunity was. and i imagine some folks are

saying like you pointed out, i don't want to disclose information. i'm not interested. is there some kind of documentation that says they don't want a consultation or they're not interested for whatever reason they might have? >> yeah. we will be following up with households and if people delaine to be decline to be interviewed at that time that's certainly their option. we've opened up a resource center in one of the vacant units in the island, so this phase of it is really to have staff available conducting it on a sunday, as we did last weekend conducting 16 interviews on a saturday so that you know that kind of intense availability, you know we will continue to have arws under contract for five years, and you know we can always

make people available for phone interviews or you know if there are additional requests coming in schedule periodically a saturday where we get a number of requests built up and we'll schedule a time on island but it was kind of this intensive outreach will come to a close but we'll continue to engage with residents and make opportunities available to them. but like i saed trying to capture as much as we can in this window. also to director richardson's questions in working with the san francisco housing development corporation and their conversations with tidi and scheduling this event they really wanted us to demonstrate that we can fill an event like this in terms of having one on the island as opposed to requiring island residents to go to one somewhere else in the city. so initially the outreach

is -- an enrollment is limited to the island because we are trying to demonstrate that we can fill it with island residents. it will play into the factor of whether we choose to have another one on the identifies land. but yeah if we get to may and things have not filled up we would open up the enrollment to a larger part of the city. in terms of splitting households there's kind of two common scenarios. one is that a lot of households on the islands are roommate situations. you have disparate individuals who have been living together in a roommate situation for more than a decade and they're trying to look towards the future at some point not being roommates. in other situations we have households where we had a

family with -- with some cases young children that are now adults and they're wondering about potential opportunities for splitting into multiple households, so those are kind of the situations that we have where you know a household is -- is interested at some point in having multiple glowing options. >> yes. >> quick suggestion. i know that on our tida landing page there's usually some shortcuts to a couple of things like upcoming events or featured. i couldn't find a spot to connect to this a transition. could we put this somewhere prominent prominent? it's great that we're trying to communicate to people but

there is a contingent that will come to us, as well so i think it will help if it's prominently displayed on our page. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> are there any other questions by the board? thank you very much for that update bob and so this is not an action item. next item, please. >> is there any public comment on item number nine? item number ten, discussion and future agenda items by directors. >> do directors have any? yes, sharon. >> yes thank you. so myself and actually another director have joined not long ago, and i understand there's been a lot of work done on a couple topics that i would request to see if we can get an update on the board. i would defer to the president on the timing of it and whether it's appropriate at the full board or perhaps at asub

committee. the two items that i'm interested in one is an update on the status of the ferry, where things are with that how are discussions going with mtc. and then secondly maybe an updata's well as a refresher on the toll conversations and some of the assumptions that were put into the thinking when this was last before the board. >> i think we can certainly do that. >> yeah. >> both the ferry, and it would be weda the agency that governs the ferry operations. >> yeah. it would probably be tima for both of these as this point. >> yeah. >> tima has been working with whta on a potential operating agreement but right now, it would still be with tima.

>> so if we could have an update on those items it would be helpful to the full board. >> it might be may. next month we've already got a full agenda but i'll look at may-june and work with tim on timing. >> comments or questions? hearing none i think -- >> adjourn. >> yes. meeting adjourned. >> thank you. >> thank you. >>

the state of california. test text1 underline test t what we're seeing unfortunately more and more is with homeless youth, youth who are on the street in our city in our state through really no fault of their own. we're seeing, especially for test text1 underline test text1 italics many of larkin street's clients, young people who are escaping challenging test text1 underline test t households, really looking for places to go and unfortunately they find that the streets were a better option than their own home and so that's some of the challenges that we're test t facing here in san francisco but really also, up and down the state of california. test t we have some troubling stats, where one test t in eight americans lives in california but one test text1 underline test in three homeless youth live in our state, and te one test t of the five individual's experiencing homelessness in san francisco is under the age of 25. so what test text1 underline test t we're really seeing is this multiprong approach that

we have to have. we can't just treat this test population as we would treat test text1 underline test text1 italics young adults. their test text1 underline issues are different their reasons are different that test t they're on the street. that's why it's so great to announce this $2.5 million grant to market test tstreet. we were able to implement some money into the homeless youth and housing program and identify four counties in the state where we could get money to test t 2.5 million to test text1 underline each of those counties so there was money test tex propped to santa clara te county san diego, l.a. county specifically targeted to homeless youth. and we didn't want to test t overly delineate where the money was going, so it test text1 under could go to rapid rehousing, could go to supportive housing, could go to shelters. we really wanted the agencies in those particular areas to figure out what the test text1 underline test t most

pressing need was, and we're honored that in test t san francisco here larkin street was the recipient for $2.5 million for that grant. their work is absolutely amazing. 75% of their test text1 underline test text1 italics client test text1 italics actually end up exiting and end up in a home so their track record and their success in their work is unbelievable test text1 underli and frankly phenomenal. we're just so honored to have them as one of our major agencies here in san francisco. test text1 und so with that i wanted to introduce our test text1 incredible test t mayor who's just been really fighting for this issue when he was a supervisor. he continues to fight for this issue during his tenure as mayor, it's mayor mark test text1 underline test text1farrell. [applause]. >> so thank you, te phil, and good morning, everyone. it is great to be here along with assembly te member continuing and jeff and test text1 underline

test t cherilyn. this is a great morning fore the city of frisk. homelessness as assembly member continuing mentioned is one of the most intractable issues here in san francisco. it's been an issue that all of us inside of city hall have worked on. i have prioritized during my time in office and it is a challenging problem. it's not going to get solved over night. there is no silver bullet answer test text1 underline but mornings like today, we can actually say we're making progress on the issue, we are truly making a difference in people's lives here in the city of san francisco and to me, that's what it is all test tabout. larkin street youth i'm test going to take a minute to sing their praises and sing test t cherilyn's praises. since they opened, they have served over 5,000 youth in the city. and that is no small number. that is an te organization that has had a significant impact on the city of san francisco of our homeless population of our

vulnerable population of our youth here in the test text1 underline te city. larkin street does so much through youth programming. test text1 underline test text1 italics cherilyn and i test text1 underline were together years ago worked on a project in district two, and that program has been an incredible success inside of district test text1 underline two and i'm incredible proud to test part hership test text1 itali with test text1 underline test text1 italics cherilyn. it's an honor to be here with test tex you today. we want our youth here in san francisco to be chasing down their dreams and aspirations, not thinking about where their next meal is coming from. that has to be our mindset in san francisco, that has to be the reason behind all of our efforts and making sure the next generation of test text1 underline test t san francisco kids has a much brighter future than we all had here growing up in our city. i'm going to -- in a minute you're going to hear from

anubis who's a larkin street youth client here but i just want to highlight here what an test t amazingly humble person he is. but 16 years old previously homeless, and test text1 und i was reading about test t him beforehand sleeping in cars and his test text1 friends' couches, and now he's here an larkin street. he has an internship, he's enrolled in test text1 underline test tclasses he has housing. this is a success story in san francisco that we need to celebrate. we need to be there for a long time to come and partner together. this is just the beginning of a journey together but this is the stories that we are making these are the successes that we are having on our street, and we need to take them one by one in the city of san francisco. so it's an honor to be here today. you know as test t test text1 underline test text1 italics assembly member continuing ting mentioned this $2.5 million is wonderful for test tex the city of san francisco, but

it would not be possible without assembly member ting. you know it is test text1 underline test amazing to have him up in sacramento representing san francisco and fighting for san francisco. what he didn't mention was something we heighted about a month ago, that he secured test tex $10 million for navigation centers here in san francisco up at the state test tlevel. this is advocacy and this is representation that we have not seen in a long, long time that is really coming to bear on the streets of san francisco, to the people of san francisco, to our every day residents and it's something that needs to be test text1 underline test t celebrated and test text1 uhonored, so phil thank you for all of your efforts and the job test t that you are doing on behalf of the citizens and test t residents of san francisco. these are great test text1 underline test t stories we can tell in san francisco. again, we have a long way to go in terms of our homeless situation, but every day when we have stories like this to highlight, when we have things like this to celebrate, it

keeps us test text1 fighting every sipping will day and let's not forget, we take this one individual at a time. so thank you for being here today. it's an honor to join everyone behind me and i would like to introduce someone who is leading the fight on homelessness in the city and county of san francisco, someone who has been with us just a short time today and that is our director of housing and homeless authority, jeff test text1 underline test text1 italics kozitsky. >> thank you mr. test text1 mayor and thank you assembly member ting, in addition to as the hey i don't remember mentioned, helping bring this money to san francisco and the homeless youth in san francisco. in san francisco, assembly man ting have been working very hard with me and members of my staff to address homelessness here in san francisco on a number of different fronts, and we really appreciate your leadership and all the work that you test t and your staff do. and of course, thank you inform larkin. test text1 underline cherilyn and i have test t worked

together about 16 years now, including the development of the second supportive housing for homeless youth that was built in partnership with chp and larkin in the city and test county of san francisco. and all of this work makes a difference. i know sometimes it's hard to look around our street and think that things are actually getting better but things are actually getting better. during the past few years we've seen a nearly 15% reduction in youth test t homelessness in san francisco, we've seen a reduction in veterans homelessness and family homelessness and while there's a long way to go we are starting to see some pretty significant successes, and events like today test text1 under help test text1 italics memorialize the efforts that we need to take on behalf of people living on our streets. i just want to close out by test t reminding everybody that we are going to close test text1 out test t homelessness not just? san francisco but in this state and in this country, we need to

start with young test text1 undpeople. test t if we are ever going to solve the problem, we can't have young people with their families and on their own because the next te chronic homeless population. we need to help them now while they still have the opportunity test text1 under to become their best self-s, and thanks to people like assembly man ting and mayor test text1 underli farrell and test text1 underline test text1 italics cherilyn. we're hoping young people get off the test text1 u streets, get housing and jobs and move on with their lives. thank you all for being here today and it's my pleasure to introduce test text1 underline test t cherilyn adams, director of larkin street. >> thank you, everyone. it is really great to be here on this beautiful morning and celebrate this test t investment in yung people in san francisco, test text1 underline test t especially being flanked by three folks -- and test t four with anubis who have been remarkable leaders and really

have brought incredible resources to the city, and now with this investment with assembly man test text1 u test texting's help into san francisco from the state. i think it's important before this investment, there was $1 million a year for the past 25 years that the state has invested directly in young people who are test text1 underli experiencing homelessness. that's with the state having a huge number of young people experiencing homelessness. we test t have unfortunately in california the highest test number of people between the ages of 13 and test text1 underline 25 experiencing homelessness. so this grant in santa clara san diego and l.a. will test t go a long way to support young people who don't have test tex shelters, who don't have access to homes or services, and we hope it's just the beginning of efforts across the state. sb-# 18 is going to create an office of test t homeless youth and funding to support this. that would not test t have -- test

text1 underline test texsb-1918 wouldn't have happened without philstarting this process and really investing in young people in california. locally, we will use these dollars to expand services in our engagement center open the center for more hours, expand case test management access to emergency housing behavioral health supports for young people across the city. we would not have been able to open these hours without this funding and we hope to continue to use it to leverage additional support to build out education and employment programs to continue to expand test t housing. as jeff said we've made great progress in the city on addressing young people experiencing homelessness in reducing the numbers, but still 1300 young people on test t any given night lay their heads on the sidewalk here in the city or in a shelter so that's not acceptable so we will continue to work to leverage additional funding. we hope that you will all support housing for all in june so that we can bring additional te resources across the city to address homelessness. test t

it is my now distinct pleasure to introduce somebody who i have had the great chance to work with over the test text1 past year. he is a leader he test tex teaches me things every day and he has been both a role test text1 underline model for other young people and been active in setting policy and te helping to inform policy on behalf of young people here in the city, as well as working directly with young people here at larkin street, so test text1 underline test t anubis please come up. test t [applause]. >> test text1 u good morning. it's an honor to be here with you today. my name is test t test t test text1 italicsanubid dougherty, and i am from san francisco. i have two generations here on my dad's side and three on my mother's side. my mother was homeless when she was pregnant with test text1 underline testme. she had cerebral palsy and is unable to work. my brother and i lived with her test text1 u mostly. we'd find a place, get evicted when we couldn't pay rent and then we would couch surf.

but i preferred sleeping outside to staying in a shelter, and so i lived on the streets for six years on and off until i couldn't go on. i was tired, test and i was done. when i saw test t camilla an outreach worker from larkin street around the end of 2016 i was more test text1 underline test t receptive. te she said are you interested in a new program we have called test text1 und pathways? yeah sure i said. larkin street helped me find an apartment and test text1subsidize my rent. i've been on my own for so long i didn't want to go anywhere with a lot of oversight. test we found a place for test tex me at the francis hotel. from there, the change has been test t radical. larkin street's helped me get my ged, and i test t joined their youth advisory board and advocacy and leadership program. from there i've done work with the city and state to test t advocate

for youth homelessness programs. today, i still live in my own place through the pathways program. i was taking classes at city college and in january test text1 underline test t i started an internship at an outreach worker for larkin street on the same team that helped me get off the streets. test text1 und it's surreal and so is standing here test text1 u speaking at a press conference with the mayor of san francisco and a state assembly member here in the haight where i laid my head on the very concrete you are standing on test text1 under right now. until i was ready for more larkin street gave me food a place to sit for a few test text1 underhours, do my laundry and take a test text1 underline test text1 ita shower. now, i have this organization to thank for my new life. their compassion has deepened my trust. without larkin street, i would still be te homeless; te i could be dead. thank you for being here for listening to me and for supporting this important new funding for young people like
