sadly that are struggling on our streets are experiencing a lot of challenges. and we want to thank you. we want to thank the discovery polk community benefits district for its work and its contributions and being partners in this effort to make sure city safer, to make sure city cleaner, and we know that there's so much work to do. this process has brought so many businesses together and i am just excited to be here today to sign the legislation that made it possible. this is your victory. we're going to get to work to make san francisco an even better place for each and everyone of us. thank you so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you, very much, mayor breed. of course, our next speaker is a long-time champion of community benefits. the author of the legislation and help make them possible. supervisor of our district 3,

aaron peskin. >> thank you. so this is the 15th community benefit district in san francisco. as i like to say, all of our districts are created equal. district 3 is more equal. why do i say that? because we have five of the 15 community benefit district. when i first became a supervisor 18 years ago, there was one business improvement district in san francisco. one. the city of berkley had more. san diego had dozens of them and i tred to figure out why was san francisco behind. and the answer actually was because the state law didn't think about places like san francisco, where we had mixed-use neighborhoods. the vibrant communities of polk street, north beach, and so we had to create our own law.

that became article 15 of our business and tax regulation code. that began, what has spread all over san francisco. now let me say, it is very rare that people come together to celebrate the fact that they all voted to raise their taxes. that is exactly what we are doing today. it stays in the community. it does not mean a diminishment of city services. it's services on top. i am very bullish on polk street. it is remarkably a vibrant community. i want to salute the lower polk neighbors and the lower polk c.b.d. which was at the forefront, that gave suzanne and the steering committee the vision that the c.b.d. to be extended in a northerly manner. there's going to be an economy of scale. christian mar tan, who does a remarkable job of running the lower polk c.b.d. is going to be the staff to the middle polk

discover polk c.b.d. this makes a ton of sense. larry stringer from our public works department is going to continue -- you are in trouble. it's all good. it's going to continue cleaning your streets and emptying the trash cannes. thicans.this is a real boone foe city and county of san francisco. i'm delighted. on behalf of all of my colleagues, who the voters passed it by yes, 50.01%, we voted unanimously to allow this c.b.d. to move forward. thank you, mayor breed. this is actually the first time, since mayor breed has become mayor i've been involved in an official signing ceremony and i cannot be more delighted. i want to shout out jaoquin torez and chris corgis who did a remarkable job.

[applause] >> they came in and they brought me a list because they knew the election would be tight. they asked me if i knew those people because we needed just one or two more properties to vote yes and i found one guy who i knew, who actually was on the east coast. he said, yes, that is on my desk. i said, you have until 2:00 on tuesday to get back to the city and county of san francisco, vote that ballot and that is what took us over the top. thank you chris corgis. i want to shout out northern captain joe english ler who has joined us. with that i'll turn it back to jaoquin torez. >> we all know if it wasn't for the hard work of the steering committee, in addition so many community members today, this event today and these resources couldn't be made possible. and it does take leadership, tenacity and commitment and i couldn't think of a person that exemplifies the definition of those words more that dr. suzanne markle-fox who i

would like to invite up to speak to us. the director of the steering committee who made this possible. [applause] >> thank you. thank you so the lower polk, the discover polk community. you can tell i'm nervous. thank you very much to the lower polk community benefit district. it really was not only our fiscal sponsor but also our mentor for all of the process that we went through since may 2015. thank you to debra neman who was another informal mentor. shared her knowledge and experience and we definitely want to follow in her tracks. i'd also like to introduce you to the president of our board, tiffany yang, who is a brilliant young woman who is going to be taking this to the next level. the wonderful thing about this community benefit district is

how property owners, neighbors, business owners and the faith community all came together to work on this. it was an amazing experience for me. it really demonstrates the vibrancy of this community. as others have said before me and will say after i'm sure, that our goals are a cleaner, safer and even more vibrant business community in the discover polk area. thank you, everybody. [applause] >> thank you so much, suzanne. really, congratulations and savor this moment. it really is an anchor for so much incredible work to come. i want to point out, you can sense there's a community here supporting efforts like these. i did want to shout out again, i know exercise peskin and mayor breed also recognized some of the folks from our fellow community benefit districts across the street who have come here to celebrate. it's a strong community of folks

who believe in the leadership and the impacts that this work can create across san francisco. christian martin to support these efforts along polk street. deb neman and her work in san francisco for the c.b.d. and simon bertrand from the tenderloin community benefit are all here to say thank you. congratulations for those who are willing to take on a leadership role to make benefits happen in our communities. but it also takes merchants. as well and their support to make this work happen. so, ray baird supported this benefit district idea early on. providing refreshments at community gatherings. ray, we want to say thank you so much. invite you to come on up and say a few words. >> i'm no politician. i'm not great at doing this. i'm just humble merchants with a

beautiful store back here. it's great we have the back drop of my store in the back there. whoever masterminded that did a really great job. thank you to everybody who came out today. there's a lot of sharp-dressed people from the city that are here. i feel a little under dressed. i'm excited for the opportunity that the c.b.d. brings us. i kind of wanted to relate it to some stories that were in the news recently. there was a horrible story about some crime that happened in the tenderloin and the footage from the cameras that the c.b.d. installed were very beneficial to the police and so i think that's one of the resource that's is going to be of great benefit to us. we need it. i don't want to be a bummer and remind everyone about how hard the streets of san francisco are. we live here and know the reality of that. filmore has beat cops. the news came across, i was watching on the news the next day, we had an incident at the

store where we had to call the police out. i talked to the officers and i said, we want beat cops too. they said well you need an advocate to get in there and stand on the throat of the people at city hall and at the captain's office and things like that. so hopefully, what this c.b.d. promises for us is advocacy for this great community that i'm so happy to be a part of. i'll just wrap it up and i want to say thank you for all the work, all these years. you know what it's like to have to canvas and cold call and do this to grind it out. way to go. [applause] >> that concludes the speaking part of our program. now we're going to do the signing right now. chris, if you can get it set up. i'd like to invite michael from the add cad mow of art academy. suzanne, ray. tiffany, come on up as well.

. >> i love that i was in four plus years a a rent control tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling

and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day that i went to the session, i notice this unit at 616 harrison became available, b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery. there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom

furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a >> good morning, everybody. good morning!

my name is >> in the community that when we build affordable house north a community, we build it for the residents in that community who need it the most and who can barely afford to live here. china town is an amazing neighborhood by it has low income residents who badly need affordable housing. a great project is being built nearby, 88 broadway, which also includes. this will provide 178 homes for

families and seniors many of that's really exciting. many of the affordable unit in the senior housing development are unfortunately still too expensive for the seniors who live there. in fact, 56% of all seniors living in all of district 3 are at 30% of area median income and below and for chinatown, the percentage is even higher. opportunities for affordable housing must reflect neighborhood needs and that means, this senior housing cannot be set at affordable levels that chinatown seniors can't afford. the city is making these senior housing units even more affordable. today is why we're here to announce that we're going to be doing this by buying down the affordability levels on 13 of those units, which will move

these homes from 60% of area medicinit willcost $710 a month. the deepen affordability is made possibility through the city's investment of $1.5 million. this investment represents my commitment that when we build housing that our city meets and we need to make sure the people in these communities where we build affordable housing can qualify for the housing we build. i'm truly proud of the work that has gone into this project.

i want to thank bridge housing for john stewart company, the port of san francisco, the mayor's office of community housing development. i want to acknowledge our community partners in this effort. china town community development center, the chinese progressive association, the community tenants association, and i also would like to thank barburcy coast neighborhood for this support. this is a project that is a part of this community and we haunt to make sure have a real shot at being, maintaining and continuing to be a part of this community which is why this investment is important. one of our champions on the state side, as it restate relato affordable housing and someone who is working hard, not only

for the residents here in china chinatown, our assembly member. [applause] >> thank you. it's fitting that this morning, as it's been raining, just as this press conference is starting, the sun is coming out. as our city has been experiencing the intensity of the housing challenges that we have, today is a bright spot and an important announcement on how we move things forward. let me start by thanking mayor breed, your city departments for your investment in real affordability. and ensuring projects like this move forward. as a resident, i'm grateful to you and what everyone here is doing. i will say as a former supervisor of district 3, i want to thank the neighborhood associations, particularly the barbury coast neighborhood association, our non-profit organizations from ccdc and the

pca and i want to thank bridge housing and the john stewart company and others, for moving forward this important project. i will say, as a chair of the assembly housing committee, i want to thank governor brown and my fellow colleagues for voting and signing ab14-23. some of you may have known that we had to get changes to our state-public trust law in order for the 88 broadway project to include a childcare center, as well as to have the mixed income affordability that is the hallmark of this project. it takes all of us working together to ensure that we are addressing our housing challenges. this is exactly the kind of project that we should be building. projects that build affordable housing, community, that takes care of families, immigrants and seniors. this is what san francisco is about. i just want to thank everyone who has come together for this

important announcement. thank you. [applause] >> i'd like to introduce one of the partners in this effort who is helping with the development of this project, maria debore, the vice president of development for bridge housing. >> thank you, mayor breed. good morning or good afternoon. my name is marie with bridge housing. we're one of the co developers along with the john stewart company. it's a mixed-use multi-generational development with a broad range of housing needs, including affordable housing, middle income housing and housing for the formerly homeless. the project includes retail, a community-serving childcare center with programs and supports for all children of all income levels and incorporates a robust services plan that tends to the needs of the seniors, families and formally homeless

tenant populations that will be living there. the john stewart company and bridge housing are co developers on this project and are very excited about the deeper vulnerability levels at 88 broadway and 75 davids project. the 30% units will serve very low income residents. it will be one additional step towards meeting the deep and continuous needs to create affordable housing opportunities and will be reflected i have housing needs in the chinatown and broader community. the proposed project will pursue the city's goal of integrated a diverse population with the family and senior components of the project. a.m.i. levels will range from 30% a.m.i. to 120% a.m.i. with five 30% units. at the senior building, rents will range from 30% to 70% a.m.i. and will include a 28%

homeless as well as the 1330% units that were just added. the developers have done extensive community outreach and held close to 30 public meetings to obtain approval for the 88 broadway and 435 david project. early planning began in 2014 for this project. when most 'em parked on a goal to form the 88th broadway working group to the community input while conceptualizing this affordable housing project. as a result of early engagement and the relationships with the community, the city's vision to create a broad range of affordable housing is finally moving forward. we're excited to start construction in the second quarter of 2019 and we'll have the first apartments become available for residents in the summer of 2020. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. chinatown community development

has been an incredible force of working with the community to make sure that our seniors have access to safe, affordable housing. and they are the ones who brought to my attention the concerns about the ability for the residency, the seniors of chinatown to have access to these particular units, because the affordability levels were too high. at this time, i'd like to bring up reverend norman fong, the executive director of chinatown community development, to say a few words and talk about the incredible work they continue to do to support our seniors. [applause] >> ok. first turn to the person to your left and right and say you are beautiful. you are beautiful. mayor's office of housing. all right. it's a beautiful day in san francisco and we're here at heart of san francisco. this is it. this is where our city grew

from. until today, there are still many seniors that live in chinatown in single rooms. i think we can do better. today, we celebrate every -- the mayor. [laughter] and others who added some. of course we want more but today symbolizes the heart of san francisco's showing real compassion for seniors that should not have to suffer at the golden years of their lives. also i i want to celebrate the team. i want to celebrate c.p.a., the community tennis association, seniors themselves who said we need to get more affordable housing. this change of percentage from the 60 to 30% is a big deal. so we have to do more of this. mayor breed, i know you will do more where we can find a way to build more affordable housing reflecting the true heart of san francisco and making it beautiful. all right. [applause]

>> we do have a representative from the community tenants association. we're going to ask her to come up now and say a few words. [applause] >> hi, everyone, i'm resident of

community tenants association. glad to see the future of both the housing project have set aside for seniors, however, i believe a lot of seniors cannot afford or don't even qualify to apply on the income requirement and rent level is at 15% a.m.i.

>> now we have a good news. the community and may have have been advocating for lower threshold and now the requirement of 13 of the units are lowered to 13% a.m.i. levels. we should see mayor breed and all community members thank you for your work.

[applause] yes, this is just a first step. the city and the community still need to work to fight for more housing. they want to use this opportunity to ask everyone to vote yes on prop c in november election. prop c will provide more housing for individuals, families and homeless people. it also helps to create a cleaner city. most importantly, the tax increase suggests will not effect individual or small business because it targets large enterprise that has revenue above $15 million. prop c will adjust the current housing crisis. vote yes on prop c. thank you, so much.

>> we have the chinese progressive association. [applause] thank you, mayor breed. thank you everyone. thank you to c.p.a. for those words. i'm the organizing director at the chinese progressive association here in san francisco. we are an organizing educating and organizing working families, youth, tenants and seniors in san francisco. i think it's fitting that we're marking progress for the struggles for our community to find affordable housing. here in the heart of chinatown, which has such a long legacy of community advocacy and it has led to the types of livable community that we've been able to build here in san francisco and in chinatown. we have a long way to go and we're proud of being part of that legacy. we're also proud members of the chinatown coalition for housing justice. which is a coalition of

organizations based here in chinatown that began organizing back in 2015. around the time we really saw the very impact of gentrification starting to hit chinatown. with s.r.o. rents going up drastically from an average of $600 a month to $1,000 a month. and seeing the influx of developers trying to profit off of the housing that we believe should be preserved for low income seniors and families who are working and providing services to the city of san francisco. when we first learned about this project, we were concerned about the affordability levels. it was part of a whole program of work that was happening at the time. conversations, surveys, forums that were being held in chinatown because of the concerns of the community that, even affordable housing was just far beyond the reach and i appreciate the mayor for naming that. these developments need to be accessible to the community that they're committed to serve and

we have to recognize that affordable, for someone who is working a minimum wage job in san francisco, is very different from affordable for someone working a different income. we have to make sure that housing units are successful to all and we've lost too many already of our working families. our blue collar workers, our immigrant families, too many people have had to mom to antioch and out of the bay area in order to survive. the members of the chinatown coalition for housing justice, we are really happy today to mark this progress. and to show when community partners and developers and the city come together to really think about the solutions and recognize the needs, we can come up with creative solutions to make san francisco a place that all of us can afford to stay. thank you. [applause] thank you. i want to thank you for being here. thank you to all of our partners that are here today. we know that san francisco has a

long way to go to address what we know is a serious crisis, as it relates to affordable housing. and part of my goal, as mayor, is to make sure that we support the surrounding communities, especially as i said, when we build affordable housing and a neighborhood, it's important that we look at who is in that neighborhood and how are we going to make sure that the people who are part of that community that shop in that community, that are part of the fabric of that community, have a real opportunity to maintain their lifestyle in that particular community. that's what this is about. but we have to do more. we have to make sure that we do everything we can to build more housing at different affordability levels because, as we've said before, you know, someone making minimum wage, a family of four, it just varies for each family. we need to make adjustments how we provide housing in san

francisco and working together we'll do just that. thank you so much for being here today. [applause] breed. >> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. when i meet with seniors in the community, they're thinking about the future. some want to down size or move

to a new neighborhood that's closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. that's why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. so how does this work? prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2% growth a year. but when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the -- which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. that's where prop 60 comes in. prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able

to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the property value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. if you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. this means that if your existing home is worth $1 million in market value, your new home must be $1 million or below. if you're looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than

105% of your exist egging home. which means if you sell your old home for $1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than $1.15 million. if you sell your existing home at $1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than $1.1 million. know that your ability to participate in this program expires after two years. you will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. so benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. for more, visit our website,
