sector analysis and leveraging traditional financial data is another thing that i think ended up being a unique approach to what we've seen people do previously. >> thank you, i have nothing further. >> this is an action item. what is the board's desire? >> what is the recommended motion? >> for the board to approve the summary of recommended actions one through five. >> if you look at your computer screens it's the bottom section, one through five that is staff's recommendation. >> i'll make a motion.
6:01 pm
>> i'll second. >> there's a motion. there's a second. commissioner driscoll. >> we did this last time and it led to problems. i do note the editing on item number one. i'm not going mess around with that one today, but does this take out the partnering issue the other six we adopted in january? it's not clear. she's five are sim -- these five are similar. >> number one is modified to remove the word passive. just that we would take $1 billion -- >> replacing previous number one with the new number one. so the six from january still stands. except the one item i'm crossing out, passive and recommendation number one. >> in addition to that, we're
6:02 pm
recommending the board approve the four items. >> and strategy six. >> that is correct. items two through five are action items towards number six, the board approved in january. >> i still don't see the original number three and was wondering what is in the new five. i couldn't see that. maybe it's in there. >> in the recommended action items? >> we continue to proceed with strategy areas one through five as written in january. >> so recommended actions which are the continued collaboration and engagement. so if you look at your screen, we determined those didn't require additional action
6:03 pm
because those are next steps and so number three on theton -- continued collaboration are bullet points on what the plan is. >> i'm going vote against it because the lack of clarity. >> let's clear it up. what's your lack of clarity? >> i can't figure out how the five covered the six in the other changes. >> so in the summary of recommended actions, numbers two, three, four and five fulfill the directive under strategy six. it was to define the strategy. >> i can help with this. >> if we look at item six on page one of the memo, so not what's on screen, define an
6:04 pm
approach to identify. what we're seeing is items two through five in the summary of recommended actions are the approach that we are going to take. >> that's six. execution. >> that's right. >> and no changes in two through five except two are not going hire another -- [laughter] >> i'll make the amendment to this motion. you're basically saying what staff's recommendations is your motion? between listed numbers one and two say to implement step six of the january 24 and tie them in that way it will be clear two, three, four, five refer to number six. >> that's fine. >> fair enough. >> i do not want the same
6:05 pm
clarity problems that occurred last. >> that's a good addition. >> thank you. >> that was an amendment. >> if the maker will accept the amendment. >> i will accept it as a second. >> the motion passes. >> we have to vote. >> we to -- we do have to vote. >> as long as you accept the amendment. >> and i concur. >> we have a motion by commissioner paskin-jordan and a second by commissioner casciato and there was an agreement from the maker and any questions from the board as to what is in front of us? any questions from staff? any discussion on this item? okay. i will call for the motion in a moment. i just want to highlight one
6:06 pm
thing, i said this before. all divestment actions we take or restrictions we need to track and see how much it's making or costing the system. and i intend to make it a policy but it's probably a good practice any way for transparency purpose as staff so can you work on that so in the near future we see what's going on with the numbers. i say that because had we done this a year ago, hes corporation has been up 50% and that's among the five we're going divest. they're up over 50%. w dax energy up over 73% in one year on a one-year basis. so the stocks we're going to be getting rid of, had we done it a year ago we would have lost a
6:07 pm
million dollars on. that's a reality the board needs to meet the shortfall somewhere and find better investment opportunities. be sure we're tracking this from the date that anything passes. >> roll call vote, please. >> yes. >> commissioner paskin-jordan. >> yes. >> commissioner stansbury. >> yes. >> commissioner safai. >> aye. >> commissioner driscoll. >> yes. >> commissioner bridges. >> aye. >> motion passes. thank you very much. this was our last item on the agenda for the day. we don't have -- do we have [indiscernible] on there? >> no. >> meeting adjourned. thank you for your time.
6:08 pm
6:09 pm
>> 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.
6:10 pm
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
6:11 pm
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.
6:12 pm
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
6:13 pm
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
6:14 pm
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
6:15 pm
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
6:16 pm
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
6:17 pm
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
6:18 pm
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.
6:19 pm
[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
6:20 pm
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]
6:21 pm
>> 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.
6:22 pm
>> 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.
6:23 pm
[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
6:24 pm
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.
6:25 pm
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
6:26 pm
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
6:27 pm
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.
6:28 pm
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. >> i moved into my wonderful,
6:29 pm
beautiful, affordable housing march 7th. i have lived in san francisco since i was two-years-old. i've lived in hunters view for 23 to 24 years now. my name is vlady. i use titus and i am the resident commissioner for the san francisco housing facility. from the very beginning, this whole transition of public housing and affordable housing was a good idea. but many, many residents didn't think it would ever actually happen. it's been a life changing experience. and i'm truly grateful for the
6:30 pm
whole initiative and all those that work on the whole sf initiative. they've done a wonderful job accommodating the residents, who for many years have lived in delap tated housing. now they have quality housing. i was on a street where the living room and the kitchen and stairs. it wasn't large enough to accommodate. the children are grown. i had the accomplish of having a dishwasher in my home. i really like that. [laughter] i really like not having to wash dishes by hand. we still do it from time to time. the mayor's office has been a real friend to us, a partner. we know that our city supports us. i love san francisco. just to be able to stay in my community and continue to help the residents who live here and
6:31 pm
continue to see my neighborhoods move into new housing, it's been a real joy. it's been a real joy. >> good morning, everyone. good morning. thank you all so much for being here today to announce the launching of the rising up campaign to reduce youth homelessness here in san francisco. as many of you know, every night, there's over 1200 young people in our city who are experiencing homelessness and our goal is to cut that number by at least 50% in the coming years, but to do that, we need pard partnerships from all levels of government, from the provide
6:32 pm
sector, from our nonprofits, and we're excited that so many people have come together to launch this initiative. most important for things like this to be successful, and we need leadership, leadership from city hall, and i'm so thankful that our mayor, london breed has taken up this issue of youth homelessness. it's a great honor for me to introduce to you all our mayor, london breed. >> the hon. london breed: thank you all for being here today. many of you know that before i became an elected official i was the executive director of the african american art and culture complex where we work with so many young people. in fact, the phrase, tay, which is transitional age youth, young people between the ages of 18 and 24 came out of a lot of the work that the african american
6:33 pm
cultural complex did, along with mo magic and larkin street and the department of children and families in order to identify ways that we can do a better job of serving young people who unfortunately may not always have a support system. i remember when i was that age, struggling in college, trying to stay in college. the frustration, the expenses, how much it cost for not just the dorms, but you know, even in a roommate situation, the food -- i mean, basic needs -- books and borrowing books, and just the challenges that exist sometimes for young people who sadly may not have the support they need, so i can't even imagine, when, you know, many of them don't even have a place to call home. and in san francisco, it is estimated that about 1255 young people that are tay youth actually live on our streets, and 49% are lgbt.
6:34 pm
we have to do a better job at addressing this issue, dealing with the challenges that exist take real, thoughtful solutions. things that are not just for today, but are sustainable, things that are going to matter and make a difference because what we want to do is make sure we break the cycle of homelessness. we want to take care of this young population so that they don't continue to live in this kind of situation. and so today, we are proud to announce that the city is launching a new program that is a public private partnership, and this is absolutely going to be incredible. it's called the rising up campaign, because what we want to do is we want to lift young people up. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: you know, i just meet with two incredible young people who are
6:35 pm
going to be speaking here today. one, zach, who i already know, who served on the san francisco youth commission, an impressive individual who's been doing great things, and yesi, who is in college, where is she? right here. she's in college, and let me just put it out there, we need to keep her in college, so i'm going to be asking you all for some support to make sure that her tuition is paid so that she can finish. so -- i'll just keep going. can you hear me? so this program, this campaign is possible because of a public private partnership, as i said, and san francisco is investi investinging $6 million in this campaign, and tipping point is here, and they've invested $3
6:36 pm
million in making this possible. [applause] but we couldn't make this program work with just money. it's our nonprofit partners that help to make this program actually work effectively for young people, where the goal is to keep them housed and provide a subsidy and to make sure they get a good paying job and to make sure that we're supporting them through social services and other things to just really help them become self-sufficient. and larkin street services, and cherylyn adams have been at the forefront to help people struggling with homelessness, but they have done incredible work with the tay population, so together, we are going to make sure that this program has the support it needs to that we can end youth homelessness in san francisco for good.
6:37 pm
[applause] >> the hon. london breed: and let me tell you, it does take a village. it takes a village, along with wi the nonprofit support, and a number of partners, including the department of children, youth, and families, human services agency, the confidence of economic and workforce development, the department of public health, and the san francisco unified school district. and i want to also put out there a call to the business community. we're going to still be looking for dollars to help with subsidies, we're still going to be looking for good jobs for young people, those internship opportunities that are paid for the purposes of helping to cultivate the next generation of leaders here in san francisco. so this is a campaign, this is a campaign to end youth homelessness, and i am looking forward to doing that with our incredible partners. and i want to thank each and every one of you for being here
6:38 pm
today. [applause] >> now it's my honor to introduce daniel murray, the c.e.o. of tipping point and one of our first donors to the -- private donors to the rising up campaign. >> thank you, jeff. [applause] >> thank you, mayor breed. we commend and appreciate your resolve to address our city's homelessness crisis. we're proud to stand with the mayor and with jeff and the city to tackle this issue together. when tipping point announced our $100 million commitment to cut chronic homelessness in half by 2022, we knew we would have a long road ahead. this work does not happen over night. in order to achieve this goal, which is also the city's goal, we must do a better job of identifying and supporting vulnerable populations earlier in their lives.
6:39 pm
50%, 50% of all chronic homeless individuals become homeless before their 25th birthday. these are our kids, the future of our city. what tipping point has learned over the course of 13 years is that when you support the right solutions, the right leaders, the right partnerships, great out comes with possible. we've seen that with larkin street. we've been partnering with larkin for seven years now, and they know how to get results. over 80% of their clients have stable housing upon leaving their program. and we know that they can't do it alone, as the mayor just said. supporting the young people living on our streets required an all-hands-on-deck solution.
6:40 pm
this collaboration between the city, larkin street and private philanthropy is the only way we're going to see the change we all want for our community. we must all take responsibility and hold each other accountable. we've cut homelessness for transition aged youth by 2023. but even with the right metrics, partners, and leaders, you need the right stroategy. that's what i love about rising up. it also builds in a housing subsidy, but build in for education and keeping a job. these are all the critical things that we needed when we were young, and that's what today is all about. it's about giving young people like zach and yesi an opportunity to change the course
6:41 pm
of their lives. this time in a young person's life should be about finding one's self, not finding a home. so thank you, thank you, mayor breed. we're incredibly honored to be partnering with you on this. [applause] >> right now, it's my pleasure to introduce the director of one of our critical partners around addressing transition age youth homelessness, cherilyn adams, the director of larkin street. [applause] >> good morning, everybody. i -- this is such a monumentous day, and i am just so incredibly honored that the mayor has announced this, that the mayor is supporting this, and that
6:42 pm
your leadership is bringing this to happen. this is huge. and jeff, your leadership has been amazing. we have been fighting a long time for youth homelessness to be at the forefront of the conversation or a part of the conversation about homelessness. we have worked with daniel on this as a partner, and many of you in this room have made this happen. so this day, this campaign, about bringing together the city, city departments, a number of departments, and philan tloepy to significantly reduce the numbers of young people sleeping on our streets is huge. we are excited to be the ang core or hub of this project, but we will not do this alone -- anchor or hub of this project, but it's going to take all of us -- new door ventures, so many of us that have been working so
6:43 pm
hard to make sure that as the mayor said, that t.a.y., that we know that t.a.y. are, that's a group of young people who if we do not intervene, young people that are experiencing homelessness, will be on the streets for a long, long time in our adult population, that they need housing, and education, and they need case managers to care about them, and they need everybody in the community to see them, and so by launching this today, we say we see you, we're going to help you, and we're going to make sure that it is unacceptable to have young people sleeping on our streets in this city ever again. so thank you. [applause] >> one of the most -- or the most important partner in the rising up campaign are going to be young people themselves who are experiencing homelessness or struggling with housing
6:44 pm
instability, looking for pathways towards self-sufficiency, so we're very lucky and honored to today to have yesi, who's a larkin street client, to share some of her thoughts with us. yesi? [applause] >> hello. i'm a little nervous please . please be patient with me. my name is yesi, and i'm 22 years old. i'm from e thiopia, and my family experienced poverty. because of that, i came here to get an education and better life. in ethiopia, women are not able to graduate college and go to school. conversation about sexuality and mental health are considered taboo.
6:45 pm
i thought living in america, everything would be magical and perfect, but it was not. our home, i didn't have to deal with racism, especially i didn't have to worry about being homeless. when i came to america, i experienced so much, including homelessness and racism. i was adopted by a family here in the bay area, and i got kicked out. i didn't know where to go. i was lost and confused because i didn't know anyone. a friend recommended i go to larkin street, where i got a bed, and i got a case manager. that was 1.5 years ago. since then, i got housing, and i joined larkin street youth advisory board to help bring youth's voice to the table.
6:46 pm
also, larkin helped me prepare for college and navigate the system. because of my mental health, larkin street is patient with me. they're very assuring and that makes me feel comfortable in asking for help when i need it. i'm a sophomore in college now. i want to get my bachelor's degree, and with larkin street support, i will continue to achieve my goals. thank you. [applause] >> when i finish school, i want to get a good school and help my family back home. i want to bring back what i learned in america about lgbtq issues, mental health, gender, and sexuality. in ethiopia, the media gives you a false perception of america. in america, everything is not perfect, and nothing is handed to you.
6:47 pm
thank you for providing morrissey roerss to help young people. i know this campaign will help many more young people like me, and if i can do it, they can, too. thank you. [applause] . >> thank you, yesi. now we're going to hear a few words from our friend and colleague, zach. >> good morning. my name zach frenette, and for the next 45 days, i will be a larkin street client. as i'm beginning to age out, there's been a lot of reflection on growth, on what's succeeded, on what hasn't. i'd like to begin today just by thanking everyone for being here, for thanking the leadership of our civic leaders,
6:48 pm
mayor breed who has known me and supported me for over two years, someone who gave me a shot before i had earned it. and i think that's what we're here to talk about. so often, the young people who end up experiencing homelessness on our streets, really, all they need is that shot, that chance, that opportunity, that moment. and for me, that moment has happened, and it's happened through the support of the city, it's happened through the support of this phenomenal organization. i can't say enough good things about cherilyn and her leadership over many, many years on the issue of homelessness. and it happens with the support of our peers. some of relationships that i've built in the past few years have stemmed out of this organization, both from the support of some of their staff, my case manager, keisha, i'm going to put you on blast.
6:49 pm
everyone give her a round of applause. [applause] >> and last, but certainly not least, the incredible individuals who walk-through these doors. yesi is someone i've known for over two years. we've been partners in our work on the youth advisory board, and for the better part of 18 months, next-door neighbors, as well. and that's really what we're trying to build out here. i think we all know the stats, we see it efrd. -- every day. we know that if there's one young person on the street, it is it's far -- street, it's far too many. we need more resources. ending youth homelessness is something that we can do, but it
6:50 pm
will take all of us. so thank you all for being here. [applause] >> thank you very much, zach, and thanks all of you for being here today. we now have to begin the hard work of helping prevent homelessness for 500 youth and helping 500 youth who are currently struggling with homelessness find housing and to find jobs, and to do that we're going to need all your help, so before we close it out, i just want to make a call to the community. we are currently looking for 500 jobs for young people. we currently have our friends from the golden gate restaurant council, from the hotel council, they have committed to help finding jobs for young people in the hospitality sector. our friends from rediff are here
6:51 pm
