item 8-a, request for proposals to develop and operate approximately 60 units of affordable family housing on block 56 in the hunters point shipyard reveemt project area. 8-b, informational on 1450 franklin franklin street. marketing outcomes report, seven for sale inclusionary below market rate units, hunters point shipyard project area. madam director? >> okay. commissioners, the first item, which is -- we're requesting

was proposing an issue for a developer to develop block 56. if you have no objection, we'll release that this week, and then, we'll do this conference, get the responses back, put together a panel, and come back to you with a recommendation for approval. so this is just the first phase. it's still again in parcel a, but it's a lengthy process, so we want to start the process. and then, the next two items, marketing outcomes, and we have sam simms here to speak to those. [inaudible] >> but this was ownership -- a home ownership program, and that was impressive, that we

had two c.o.p. holders, and it's out of the nine inclusionary units within the building. also, 51, 52 innes. it's for sale, and we don't want to see fore sale units very often. if you have any other questions, we're available to respond. we now have an extensive marketing outreach program, and you can see that in the staff materials that's provided. so if you have any additional questions, we can answer them, as well. >> great, thank you. commissioner rosales? >> yes, thank you, vice chair bustos. i do have a couple questions for pam. this was excited, i have to say. you know, when i'm reading this, i'm very touched by the

fact that our efforts are incrementally making a different in people's life. i want to commend everybody, not only the staff but the city in achieving these results. the part that interested me, as i mentioned earlier, was in the western addition. as we know, that's a very desirable, if you will, location and district for c.o.p. holders for obvious reasons, to have folks come and buy back homes -- buy back their homes, right? i would love to be able to see more -- more stories like this. and so then, when i moved over -- i was very happy when i read that and then, i went over to the other report, to the

shipyard, and i go wait a minute, no c.o.p. holders apply? >> yeah. >> why is that? >> i -- that is a really good question. we target to the c.o.p. holders, c.o.p. holders that have been over income at the rental opportunities, we write little notes specifically on their postcards saying this would be a really good opportunity for you. for whatever reason, and we don't know yet, it's just not a place where the c.o.p. holders have applied. that said, rent burdened households, households that are getting assistance for their housing and displaced tenants, they love the shipyard. so it's just an interesting phenomenon right now. that said, we just launched

eight, nine units in the shipyard yesterday, so we will again be reaching out to the c.o.p. holders with special notes on the postcards that the h.p.c. is doing a spectacular job is reaching out to households, offering workshops. they're going to start a -- along with bayview-hunters point, multipurpose senior services, the two organizations that have had the most success with c.o.p. holders. they're going to start a very exciting program that i'll be detailing in the c.o.p. annual report, but i think the commission will be very pleased with it. >> that's great. and i guess one other question, just out of curiosity, do we know if these successful c.o.p. holders in the person addition answered our survey? >> i don't know. i don't know. i do know that they're both

households that procrastinated. they never saw themselves buying. >> i saw that. >> it's almost as if they went into the process kicking and screaming, but at the end of the day, they were super excited that they were able to purchase. and i don't know if any of you were able to go to any of the open houses at 1450 franklin, but these units are spectacular. i mean -- and the amenities are lovely. it's a very nice development, and these households are happy to live there. the woman, the senior who has her granddaughter living with her, her granddaughter said it was like a -- living in a movie set, so it was really sweet. >> and mr. green's saying he grew up in the western addition, that was very touching. so i want to do a shout out to meta because according to this

report, they work hard, and they worked hard in helping misbrown and her granddaughter -- ms. brown and her daughter, so i hope we have other folks like meta in getting folks to the table. the other thing i would say, is i know that land is scarce everywhere, but to the extent that the city -- i read in -- i can't remember if it was the chronicle or the examiner, that there's some excess bond moneys or some money that supervisor peskin or the mayor are targeting for additional affordable housing opportunities, that they're repurposing, and some of that money would be available -- would be potentially available or at least you're targeting it

as an additional tool for the city to purchase and preserve, if you will, affordable housing, but to make acquisitions and then create new affordable housing in neighborhoods in san francisco. i would hope that the western addition would be one of those since so many folks want to go back home there. >> thank you, commissioner rosales. commissioner scott, you were going to say something? >> yeah. i'm just saying, it's great, and the outcome stories of helping them succeed in becoming homeowners, working with them with that support against all the bumps in the way. but i'm wonder when you send out the cards, i have six siblings, and we're all c.o.p. holders. the only thing i got was a form to fill out to check and see if we were listed, and we were, and i have a couple brothers that have their -- they stay in touch. but i'm not getting any

mailings, and they're not getting anything sent finding out that we were holders. so when do you send them out and who exactly do they go to? >> thank you, commissioner. we send them out to -- we send them out for every new development. we send them out right -- like, no later than six months after the start of construction for early outreach. and then, as we get closer to the construction completion, then, we send out another postcard about six to nine months before construction completion. and then, our third postcard goes out after we start marketing, so there's a lot of correspondence that goes on with the c.o.p. holders. but i'm not sure why you and some of your siblings are not receiving the information. so maybe we can talk about that and maybe sure that you're on

the list. because sometimes something will change, and we get -- we do, we get a lot of returned mail, so if anything shifted, then maybe it's -- it's an unfortunate over sight. >> i don't say that just myself and my siblings because we know so many that are holders, and they haven't said anything about getting cards as things, you know, have possibilities or opportunities. >> we had a lot in the mid2000's. there was a survey done, and there were a lot of c.o.p. holders that said they responded, do not contact, and so, therefore, they're still in the database, but because they said do not contact, we have respected that, and -- however,

if beiin fact they do now want be active, just call the c.o.p. number, and the c.o.p. program coordinator, she'll put you back on the list. >> so we can work with the commission. >> absolutely. >> and make sure we have the right documents. >> madam secretary, please call the next item. >> mr. president, we should have public comment on these items since they were noticed. >> is there anybody wishing to speak on this item? >> clerk: oscar james. >> i just wanted -- oscar james again. i just want to put a little clarification on a certificate -- i'm a certificate of preference holder, also, and a lot of peoples that i have known who grew up in both western addition and hunters point, a

lot of them moved out of san francisco. a lot of them moved in different places in san francisco where they didn't -- they -- they may have gotten a card sent, if they're getting ready to rent units out or have united for sail from the ocii or redevelopment agency, but the agency, their addresses, they don't have. there were some people that lived in sacramento and also that lived in hercules, but they didn't get their mail. when i told them, a lot of them got into the dr. davis housing units. so usually what i end up doing is word of mouth in telling people that they are entitled to a certificate whether they

lived in western addition, hunters development, or any areas that the redevelopment agency went in and did redevelopment. i also told one of the commissioners, in yerba buena, there was a lot of people that had relocated out of there, and a lot of people got certificates, and a lot of people there aren't getting information about the certificates also. basically, what we have to do is tell people word of mouth to call the ocii to get on the list. the other people that we may know who have certificates, to call and get on the list, or tell other people that you may know who may have certificates, but to update their certificates. because what i'm still asking for the agency to do is bring the clause in for the grand kids to get a certificate of preference also. i know the agency worked on that one time before, and commissioner singh was the last one who was on that with

commission leroy king, who has since passed, but they were trying to get that one time before, and morales was here, also, when we wethey were tryi get that. so maybe they should still, you guys look into getting certificate of preference grand kids to get the certificates also. because me, i have a certificate, but i'm a homeowner now, okay? but my kids have certificates also, and they get their mail. i get five different cards at my house for certificate of preference holders. and i tell my kids when they come to the house that they have -- you know, the mail that came there. but we have to do word of mouth to those who we know who's moved somewhere else. miss julia colmas's kids, two of them in sacramento. they don't get those things also. their daughter is a property manager in western addition on

the -- is it golden gate? on turk street just before you get to sky, and she's a manager, and she don't get the certificate of preference. i spoke to her also. so those are the kind of things that -- why peoples don't get the certificate because they moved or something like that, so we have to tell them word of mouth. >> thank you, mr. james. maybe there's a way we can coordinate with miss simms and the team to get in touch with those comments. is there anybody else? i'm closing public comment. anybody else want to make public comment before we close it? okay. commissioner singh? >> we received an e-mail from president mondejar that next week she wanted to start at 2:00 instead of one, because mercy housing or something, she

wanted to attend it. i have no objection to that. >> thank you. okay. so we're closing public comment on this, and commissioner comments. madam secretary, please call the next item. >> clerk: the next item is business is item nine, commissioner's questions and matters. mr. vice chair? >> anybody wishing to comment? seeing none, okay. >> clerk: the next order of business is item 11, and there's no closed business. and the next order of business is adjournment. >> move to adjourn. >> second. >> and we are moving to adjourn at 2:44. thank you. >> clerk: thank you.

>> let's talk a little bit about the format and get this party started. all right. after you make your opening statements, i have two little bags. my little bags. the questions have been divided into, how will you get it done? and working with the community? you all have had these questions in advance, most of them. so they shouldn't be a surprise to you. but each candidate will be asked one question and a different question at a time, okay? and we'll go through the questions. if we run out of questions, we'll recycle, all right?

[laughter] all right.
