priorities from the youths' perspective. i would take these into consideration when i think about the different issues that other departments are presenting, such as pedestrian safety issues so i appreciate everything that has been presented. even the environmental piece of this. if you can bring it up some of the things you brought up, if you didn't bring it up, i may not think about it. as i go through my thought process what i want to support on the different issues, your voice is going to be considered. >> thank you very much for the recommendations. i want to mention that the voting thing i wrote the resolution for the san francisco unified school district. they can pre-register.

they have a program now. i think an evaluation of that program you might request that from sfufc board members to request a hearing so you can get an update how many have they registered, how is it implemented in the program and how effective has it been? i am interested in 24-year-olds. many of the recommendations are very, very good. i want to mention that i heard from pg&e they are replacing all lights with led lights. that would be helpful in the endeavor about pedestrian safety. i want to say what i was surprised i didn't see is youth employment because in the past i have spoken to many youth and they mentioned youth employment especially during this time

where there is a wealth gap that many of the youth want to supplement their own parents' incomes. i was surprised not to see anything on youth employment. i would urge because we have covered a lot about protections and sanctuary cities look at expanding backca opportunity -- daca opportunities. i think id is important. to get a job, employment, those things you need an id. i would just recommend that maybe since we are -- the city has done wraparound services around our sanctuary city to protect undocumented folks we might center on the youth eligible for daca and expanding opportunities to have those fees

waved for daca applicants. i. >> i want to say we are in the process of the youth employment for next year. the background we didn't have enough to have it in this year. we have a commissioner spearheading it next year for sure. we are in the process and in particular trying to create a youth employment council. you will see that coming next year down the pipeline. >> oewd gave a presentation on youth employment. >> thank you for that. >> thank you commissioners, i appreciate your presentation and your thoughtfulness. we will go to public comment. if there is any member of the public, please line up and we will take your public comment. then to the general public here for the item in the early in the

morning we will get back to you as well. public comment is two minutes. come on up. >> i am tiff chang. i work in district 8 for transgender nonconforming youth, maybe the first in the country. when i was 10, i wanted an ipod. i started measuring the cost of things in ipods. let's take a moment to measure the budget in houses. back in april the medium cost of a house in san francisco was estimated at $1.6 million. the services for lgbt communities is $1.2 million, less than one house.

lgbt communities one house. youth leadership 300,000 that is a room in the house. supervisor cohen that is a room in one house for youth leadership. that is for services for seniors and disables me, my grandma and friends belong to is 3 point $2 million for two houses. finally what if you were to measure in terms of sales force towers. homelessness with one of the highest rates of income inequality $45.3 million. 2.5 floors for housing and homelessness. thank you. >> this is for item two. youth commission that we are taking public comment for. i am not sure if those comments

are for that. >> i thought it was a hearing on special projects. >> this is a special hearing that started at 4:30 p.m. for the youth commission. i suspended the public comment for item one. this is public comment for item two the youth commission budget priorities. if you would like to talk on the youth commission budget priorities, i invite you to come up. youth commission budget priorities. >> i am going to close public comment. >> budget priorities. >> i appreciate you spending time on the youth priorities. i came for the jail commission because the youth commission consulted with us for priority

one about the alternative to incarceration. i appreciate the excellent recommendations. there are three we are excited about to highlight. first the idea that the board of supervisor in the city and county of superintendent should not build any new incarceration facilities. i agree that we can save money by not incarcerating more young people will be excellent. resources and fuel for funding the other priorities presented today. second, the restructuring charging for felony theft. if someone steals a cell phone there is no balance involved that could be a misdemeanor. that would save money. third the priority presented about having transitional issues

between 18 and 24 on juvenile jail and probation instead of adult system will sav save moned prevent unnecessary suffering of people young making a first mistake being put in the adult system. thank you very much. >> any other speakers for the youth commission budget priorities? welcome. >> i am ed son. i am 18. i have lived in south market since i moved here from the philippines when i was 7 years old. i am here to speak on behalf of the pedestrian safety campaign and why it is important to south market. there is a lot of things that we have to worry about when it comes to safety as pedestrians walking streets in day or night

time. speeding cars and poverty and crime going on in south market. we are worried about people and our safety from those dangerous people, and i am advocating for that campaign because, you know, as pedestrians we deserve to walk the streets safely in night tame or daytime. whether that is through brighter lights to replace old ones or providing ways where pedestrians such as myself and elderly people to cross safely from the streets is really, really important. i can only speak on behalf of the south market. i do hope this campaign can branch out throughout other neighborhoods such as the tenderloin and hunter's point. there is a lot of dangerous areas around there. iit would be been fish to focus

-- beneficial to focus on this campaign. >> next speaker. >> i am with yana. i would like to talk about pedestrian safety. to me it is important because in front of market there is lack of sufficient lights on our streets which makes it a big impact to me and everyone in here in the market area. because of this it leads to a deeper problem like stalkings. everyone here that experienced that already. in my program we some of our youth are going home around 8 and 7 due to they need help with homework and stuff like that, and i go around 7:00 or 8:00 at

night and sometimes i have to take the longer way because i don't feel safe taking shorter ways going home because of the homeless people and the lack of lights in the streets. i just want to talk about pedestrian and light safety and how we support it. thank you. >> next speaker. seeing none i am going to close public comment. public comment is closed on item two. >> i appreciate the last two speakers talking about is it the lights at south market. that is just to remind me self. i got hit by a car and almost died south market at nighttime. >> thank you for sharing that. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are going to take a motion to file

this hearing as heard. if i could take that without objection. please let the house reflect that supervisor fewer and yee are in the house. this is heard. at this point i would like to call back item one. i have still a stack of cards. at the top i have anna de la santos. mariamarie lata. you can't read the first name. castile. daisy, troy gas fire, please come on up to the podium so i know you are here. >> i am troy gas fire. i was homeless about a year ago.

thanks to doing volunteering at hospitality house, i am no longer homeless. i want to say tiffany jackson who got up here to speak as senior employment specialist at hospitality house. when i do the phone three out of four of the phone calls are for tiffany jackson. if we had 20 tiffany jacksons we would reduce the homeless people in the city. she works tirelessly every single day. i would urge the city to one day shadow her to see how you can get unemployment people that have been homeless for years into jobs and into a secure situation. tiffany jackson is a hero to me. i urge other people to follow her example. thank you. >> thank you, troy, that is very

markly, jillian an, andy burns. go ahead. >> i am jill yancey the program coordinate for the groceries program. we have had the opportunity to expand the partnership was social service and faith-based organizations to serve over 2000 this year. as we have grown we strive to be innovated in partnerships with what we form. we want equity for participants. in january we established a new partnership to serve the homeless veterans with disabilities for home delivery groceries. in the tenderloin we have served 70 with the partnership with the

hope community center. they make the deliveries by car. walking around making the deliveries on foot allow them to deliver more times. they do not have to find time to partltofind parking. our program extends beyond those we serve. we developed partnerships with recreation and rehabilitation center, the clients with disabilities are the volunteers who make the door-to-door deliveries are seniors. it has provided an opportunity for the client to engage in the community and develop job and life skills. our program expands across san francisco and serves residents of every district. if you want to see us in action we invite you to ride or walk along with our partners. >> greetings.

i and andy burns program manager for home delivery program. i want to thank you for the support fighting food and security in san francisco especially for the home delive delivered groceries. we serve 2000 every week. they get a bag of groceries. they have a hard time to get out to get groceries. that is a 10 fold increase in the last three years as a result of the support from you all. we have calculated based on the demographic info in the needs assessment there are probably 20,000 that qualify. we appreciate your support. thank you. >> next card is for daniel castro. >> michelle casanno. i am executive director of rich

monds neighborhood center. we are asking the high school youth in district one and the service we say can provide. as c bo concerned about youth struggling. we pride ourselves in the impact and out come of the work we do. we think the beacon expansion to middle school is great. payment with the middle school expansion, high school services are cut despite 20 years of proven outcomes as well as adapting to the strategies. i have our deputy director to tell you more about the impact of the cuts. >> thank you, a special thank you for supervisor fewer. we serve thousands of young people every year. the result of the shift is impacting the gorge washington high school and the employe bear

reducing money for other crams at high school. there is still what we see as 28 $7,000 net loss at our school. this significantly impacts the most under represented and vulnerable populations. our programs for the beacon serve everyone from black students at the black student union, latino, gender sexuality, inclusion for special needs to socialize with peers. these are important programs that are for young people from beacon. one of the things we recognize is that while there is a shift to middle school the services

are important for the high school students. at george washington we serve 2100 students. through the beacon we serve 1100 students each year. daily average we have gone from serving 29 students since we first opened in 1997 when people said that high schoolers won't come to after school to serving 100 to 150 students every day. we urge you to consider continuing to fund the robust programming that represents an investment of $6.5 million from the department of children youth and families. >> thank you. if i have called anyone's name please come up. seeing none, eli if you are here, come up. next is .

trauma and abuse. i have experienced homelessness, domestic violence and trauma myself. to live a successfully flourishing average life, i would at least need knowledge of countless resources of which i have lacked knowledge of until recently which i was kicked out of my home by my abusive stepfather this past sunday. if it were not for my lyric families and staff members i would have been committed suicide by the end of wednesday evening. they have helped me not only find shelter but gain knowledge of and about housing opportunities and resources such as food and personal care products. if i had not had such a great team of leaders behind me, how would i have even defined the information of such resources. i have spent two years at

low-income people in san francisco to reduce hunger and improve health. vouchers you might have heard of a program currently operating. incentives are market match or double up food bucks. the committee and force have recommendations in the budget. you heard from the food security task force $1 million. it is about $1 million from the soda tax advisory committee. the way they overlap it totals 1.4. we can send more details where that comes. both groups included recommendations for these programs because they have seen that it works. we can provide more information. they are good at helping people receive food assistance. vouchers targeted people on ssi who are not receiving food assistance get more. i hope you invest.

1.4 is the total. you will see that from the two committee in the coming budget. >> i am jill roy son from the california allowiers of the arts -- lawyers of the arts. i have some materials for you. >> as you get that together next is sandra davis, robbie h, spencer, john, william, patrick and eva gomez. start your time at the beginning. >> thank you very much. one of the questions raised earlier by the superintendent was whether or not the c yf, the r.f.p. was resolved that left gaps. that is a question. they said no gaps. however, we were funded california lawyers for the arts

program which is an arts work force development program is funded for nearly 25 years by the cyf and not funded in the next cycle. we are the only program in work force development in san francisco that focuses on all of the arts. there are two programs funded in media. we focus on performance arts, literary and visual arts. we provide opportunities in all of those areas. we think our youth are 100% are low income. 97% are youth of color, and we find that there is also in your packet some letters of support from the youth who have participated in our programs and talk about how essential the program was to their development and to their sense of self.

i want to draw your attention to one young person who described this program as a place of solace for their development. the program has an alumni program that continues to serve the youth who participated in the program. and who also provide opportunities for current youth to do job shadowing and provide mentorship to those folks. the program was founded in 1993. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> sandra davis, john, william, patrick, eva gomez, jackson.

tiffany jackson, jacqueline jones. >> i am spencer with boys and girls club. i would like to read a letter. deer chair. i write to urge the committee to support increased fund egfor the services in the 2018-19 budget. one of our cities largest and most influential youth organizations. the city's funding is far too low based on need and high cost of doing business in our city. as you know, the department of children youth and families recently competed competitive process for funding for services over the next five years. it is flawed in three main ways. one, not enough money allocated to out of school time funding. this is for both poor and

working class families. two, the funding in several categories with no relationship with families especially public housing. three, too little money to teenagers. the dollars targeted at teens are exclusively for youth's work force development. we believe in the development and provide a lot of services. there is more that teens need than just youth work force development. they have made the boys and girls club looking at a significant reduction in services across the city and one site closing. it has meant a lot of things to kids and families through comprehensive one stop programs and services, strong extended day learning, partnering with sf

police department to provide positive engagement with youth. we support working families by providing nine week in the summertime. thank you. beverly, shawn, kelly, tony and theresa land rich. >> good evening you called me earlier. i am the program director for the coalition. it is for justice and accountability. the coalition was founded in february of 2015 in response to the brutal murder of a transwoman in the bay area district of san francisco. basically take community mobilized and started an initiative to end the genocide against transgender women. a key part was to design media

materials that will be distributed through the city. basically what we did is a media campaign in november. it was 100 buses and it ran for 30-days in november, which is like for trans people in terms of public awareness. the 2015lgbq violence prevention provided the transgender women are seven times more likely to feel unsafe. lack of access of housing, basic health and safe space esto gather and socialize. our response is to have a program for financial support and providing stable housing for the transgender women as well as

providing legal documentation clinic to provide 100 women access to transport and gender changes on their document. we have this and i don't want to take that much time and hopefully i can send out a follow up. thank you. >> all right. thank you for staying so we can all speak about our asks. i am the executive director of next village we serve seniors and disabilities in the northeast part of the city. we use volunteers to help people age in place and host over 200 social culltural and educational activities for the seniors with disabilities. our ask is $50,000. it will allow us to add back

services to 140 income challenged people who aren't able to pay a new annual membership fee that they are requiring of village members. our village provides services using volunteers. if we can find a volunteer to help make someone's day better we would like to do that. >> next speaker, please. >> i am employment case manager at hospitality house. i want to thank you all for listening to us this evening. i would ask you prioritize employment services for homeless job seekers. you know, i work in employment and we used to help people, you

know, get guard cards because most of our clients are homeless, but not all of them. this last month in april i helped place at least 17 people in jobs, and two of them got housed. then before that, one of my clients was homeless with two jobs. then he stopped doing one job and got housed. he is housed now. when they get jobs we do everything. we don't only do employment. i tell them send me your check stub. they send it to me and i put them on the housing waiting list, in the lotteries, we do everything because the budget cuts, you know, we still help them with clipper cards, work

clothes, thank you. >> so real quick. john are you here or not here? william? patrick? eva gomez. tiffany jackson is gone. johnson is gone. beverly anne kelly and brooks. do you want to go first? >> i am speaking to you as the legislative director for the california lions for retired of americans.

disabilities caucus of the party chair. i want to talk about you listening to people who truly need help to live in your city. this is extremely important. for the past 10 years i have been working on legislation to make it possible for seniors and those with disabilities to live in their community. here in san francisco in their community. i am just going to talk about pedestrian safety. we have worked on three bills and we have gotten some things done. one is to get signs in senior neighborhoods for people to slow down to 25 miles per hour. the other we went and could not

get the legislation so we went to caltrans and we got them to change all the rules about the timing on red lights so that you could change that timing and do it in the city. we hope you can do that so we can get across the street. i do want to tell you the man who worked on all of these did not live to fruition of what he worked on. his name was david grant. he was a senior living in the city. he was on the board of cara. he worked on pedestrian safety.

>> thank you. i have beverly upton, shawn brooks around tony and anyone else that needs to come down, you are more than welcome. we are not leaving until everyone has a chance. >> good evening and thank you. pardon my voice i am getting over a cold. beverly upton, executive director of the domestic violence consortium. we gather all of the programs that receive funding in the violence against women grant pool. i am trying to represent them today. one of the reasons you don't see violence against women as anybody's priority is because every community says it doesn't happen. we don't have it here. we know that is not true. every community, my community and all of yours has it, and it is important.

we heard a youth today talk about her experience, their experience with trauma and domestic violence. so many of our youth and immigrant families in san francisco are suffering from the exposure to domestic violence as children and in their own homes. the san francisco domestic violence consortium is around since 1982. we do not receive funding. we are asking you prioritize the funding through the department of status on women through direct services not to department build. in this national political atmosphere, more and more people are coming to the community for their issues. 22000 called the crisis lines for domestic livens only that is not stalks or sexual assault. that is 50,000.

how many went to the police department? 1500. to the special victims unit half. da's office half. 500 cases going through the criminal justice system. that is super-pour because people -- superimportant because people's lives were at stake. thank you. shawn brooks and tony. come on. >> shawn brooks. good afternoon. i am the chief programs officer for the sf marin food bank and long time resident of san francisco. i believe hunger is able to be solved. it should not be a talk of life that parents and seniors skip meals to pay represent. not acceptable low income

immigrants avoid the programs for fear of being deported and separated from families. the frail elders and adults with disabilities don't have enough to eat because they can't access the food assistance programs. i would add my voice to end hunger by asking for support of farmers market file food pantries where they distribute the free pro dos every week. we need your help to ensure the grocery programs can deliver to isolated and vulnerable neighbors who cannot access the services. we are asking for funding to expand the congregate meals. we need you to speak out to ensure that all of your constituents are accessing the cal fresh program because they aren't and we can't end hunger

without full utilization of that vital program. thank you for your support of the hunger program to improve the health and well-being of our neighbors and save money by reducing the burden on costly services. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, i am okay trivia scott. with plow shares a veteran organization in the san francisco bay area. i am a former member of the collaborative. i am here to speak about an issue deer to myself. i am a post 9/11 veteran and iraqi freedom veteran. 80% of the veterans left the military without a job. two in five reported being homeless in the past year.

more than half of the san francisco veterans are at risk of ptsd. 46% of those in san francisco were considered at risk of suicide. reallocation of the funds for heck has had a direct impact on my program. i haven't had to make playoffs, i haven't been age to actually hire for two positions because of the funding. with my community partners in the san francisco area who had to make layoffs, those individuals were individuals who were doing outreach for us and individuals who were locating and identifying veteran on the streets for us. without their partnership we can't identify those at risk for homelessness or those who are at risk of ptsd and those other things.

thank you very much for your time. >> next speaker. >> i am becky. i work at the san francisco food bank and member of the food security task force. i want to commend the board of supervisors for commitment to end hunger by 2020. i also want to remind you one in four people in this county are still at risk of hunger. it is a huge number. our food bank does a missing meals study where we look at the gap of meals provided versus those missing. we estimate 29 million meals missing every year. we have a long way to go. i wouldn't express support for the food security task force funding request this year. especially i want to call out home delivered groceries funding. we are grateful to provide home delivered groceries to 5,000 folks right now there. are 7,000 more who need support.

with your help we can get there. thank you for your support. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. alateen notice cultural -- latio district. it is important to get the culture districts up and running. there are issues with displacements. some including lgbq, transgender, filipinos and others. this process was long. we hired a consultant, three meetings, focus groups with youth and nonprofits, interviews and reached out to 4,000. it is important that the support is there to properly assess the community to best serve the community long-term to make sure we keep san francisco diverse. thank you very much for your

support. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am executive director of library users. i want to thank those for being here to the better end. >> being hard core. >> here to the bitter end. with respect to priorities at the library they went to spend $3 million on implements a drive see threatening technology radio use frequency stamp sized inserts into every material, books and so on. they lay people open to having what they are reading be revealed by anyone with access to the technology. they also have a privacy threat which electronic frontier has

supervisor yee? >> did you want us to take one minute? >> sure, give your one minute summation. i would love to hear your thoughts. what is one more minute? it is helpful to drafts the resolution. >> i will write it up. as i was listening to the presentations there are many departments. it might sound like a lot, in terms of what floated up to the top for me. here are some. i am interested in the group van ask. one of the first presentations i forgot who it was for the group vans to buy new ones so the paratransit. they are not getting around to

bring people in isolation. employment i am interested in employment pathways for youth in general. i also want to put something in there that there should be emphasis on helping seniors and people with disabilities if they want to be employed. make sure there is a pathway for them. i would be supporting increased food security, and that one i guess goal of sustainable funding to eliminate the wait list. i would be supportive in getting us closer. the pedestrian safety piece is always there to me. the neighborhood was mentioned several times to my surprise. i am supportive of trying to

give funding to make sure this is implemented. the senior strategy campaign i would be supportive of that. families for safe streets, that is important that it is hopefully supported. if it is not i see urge we continue to support their efforts. they are the voice we need for pedestrian safety. the last thing that floated up for me was joe wilson's group that mentioned employment for homeless 1.$4 million that was used for something else. i would be very supportive to see that happen. >> thank you very much. you can't remember what i heard a lot of it. but i just want to echo about the
