sidewalk and you pay them 1 $84,000 per year that is a insult on the people here think ing they are getting a good deal. that is not good. pay them an amount of money to live in san francisco, pay them the same amount of money you pay the god damn pooch squad. you are getting better representation from me and i am not paying god damn union dues. it is disgusting. you know god damn well you are not paying them enough money. you ain't doing nothing but giving them kibe els and bits with no benefits. it is disgusting. the god damn poop squad makes more than a medical you student

council and rudy and the community partners, jobs of justice, living wage coalition and thanks to the workers here for several hearings we have had on this issue at least for the last area. by the way, i want to remind us there are going to be a few nonprofit executives to ask you not to pass this legislation. ask them what they make compared to the lowest paid worker. some makeover $200,000. they will ask you not to support this legislation. they have plans for you to do nothing. nothing is not an option. we urge you to please vote yes, for the amendments. we support the amendments and the role played by the staff of fewer ander reason -- ronan's office. thank you. >> i want to speak for myself.

you know, when you look at and listen to these stories of people trying to take care of il ders, disabled, -- elders, disabled, poor, it really breaks your heart, and payment you look at what is necessary to pass, you know, a $2 wage increase, you know, in the city where it is filthy with wealth. it is really kind of mind-boggling. it really makes you look forward to the time when we can get rid of this profit system and have workers control society. >> hi. i am kimberly, and i don't know

what to say that hasn't been said or what you don't already know. this is my son. i wrote something down fast. i have two jobs. in haim care and work -- in home care and community health and partnership. i just warrant to say i don't want to be on welfare for the rest of my life. i work full and part-time. i qualify for welfare because they know i don't make enough. it is embarrassing. i want to be like an independent woman and make my baby proud to have a uniform on when she goes to work and take care of people and help society. it is embarrassing i have to carry the food stamp card to the market. it does nothing for my self-esteem. i appreciate the government for assisting people that don't have enough money. i want to transition off welfare

, and i am not ability to no matter how much i make. i still get the food stamp card. there is no pride to walk into the market with my nursing scrub s on -- i do in home care so i do wear scrubs. it is it is no pride in walking out pull out my food stamp card because i can't afford to buy my baby food. that is because -- am i done? at $15 per hour i can't afford to buy my son food. it is heartbreaking. i want to be like that independent woman. i am a single mom. it is hard at $15 per thousand dollars, you know. it is not quite fair to go cook a balanced organic tasty meal in their home, yet when i come home

, you know. [applause] >> thank you for your comments. [applause] >> good afternoon, supervisors. although i have several organizations that i am affiliated with. what matters is i am here with solidarity with ihs and nonprofit workers. both groups keep this city functioning, healthy, and running. i would be remiss not to ask you four your commitment and support to pass the mco with the amendments that have in fact been worked on and put forward.

all i want to say is, let's pause and contemplate that for those that only care about profit and don't have any qualms about exploiting workers, well, they don't have a maximum, they don't have have a cap on what their profits they will be and what prophet fits they will -- profits they will seek. it takes such a struggle to get a raise for a basic minimum for low wageworkers that do suchness work. if we really care, this is a quote i came across a couple days ago. if we care it is not about me, it is about we. we collectively can raise the minimum compensation ordinancena san francisco -- in san

francisco. >> good afternoon. i am here to represent and give solidarity to those -- solidarity to those that want living wages. people have to work two or three jobs. that takes away time they need to spend with families. if we want san francisco to function and grow we need to think about those that have not, not just those that have. thank you. i am in support of living wages. >> my name is ann jane. i am a member of church women united, a coalition of women's faith groups. we send our newsletter to over 100 churches in in this city whose denominations support us. i am joining with many who thank you for passing what you have

passed. i also am joining with many who are remarking that in our society of very unequal means of living that there is much more to do and that what -- the people here will keep working for a greater increase in the wages of these folks, the home healthcare workers and nonprofit workers, but thank you for this much so far so good. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i amroma guy. i want to congratulate you for having a breakthrough in the modern labor and government resource development and pathway in the city and county of san francisco. yes, we have great wealth, but

this struggle is new as of today i support the amendments because the path is new. i have been in nonprofits on the governing side, service side, but i really want to emphasize the importance of bringing in ih ss today. they are the modern -- i was going to say women's movement which is true -- labor movement. i really applaud you you as people who have chosen to attempt to to govern us and we who come to elect you. i want to add one more think about the ihss workers that many of you know about but wasn't named today. i was out there. my experience and i have had

experience with ihss workers with individuals i have support ed over the years. of course, all poor. one of the important partings of i hss work is that it reduces acute care and higher level care in our hospitals and in our acute centers which reducing the harm for those having this experience, but also reduces the cost of what budgets come to you every year. i don't know if you have calculated that. it would be nice to do it. secondly, i think ihss workers provide essential consume -- companionship.

>> good afternoon, supervisors, i am truly moved by all of your mobilizing. i am here on behalf of the women 's collective. they are here standing behind me we look after people, we clean houses, we look for children, and we are here to support all of these amendments. we are here following the light

at the end of the tunnel, fighting for struggle to make sure that this industry is paved with honor as it -- honor as it should be. so we are here to support you in your mission and these amendment s that are very favorable to all of us workers in this industry. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, president and supervisors. i want to urge that the entire

board be unanimous on this. i want to suggest that with the minimum wage we were due to get out of the $3.75 about $2 in cost price increases so, you know, that is for the cost going up. we are in squinting range. i want to thank you for putting it together and sticking to it. 18 months of saying no, of hear ing that, saying no money, we don't don't have enough money can't do it and other people giving excuses has been hard. i think of friends that lift the city that -- left the city that worked in home care that gave up this shows san francisco has the spirit of the city that knows

how. i want to thank the supervisors that led for so long on supporting us. fewer and ronen and yee and kim. everyone agreeing to this. i humbly want to thank the mayor it is the kind of mayor that we hope that you will be, and we appreciate you coming step by step further along. it means a lot to have a yes after 18 months. you know, we are still at it. we will keep working. home care workers are going to have their heads higher knowing that we are appreciated. >> i am allen wong here to stand

in solidarity with nonprofit and home care workers after harris versus quinn made home care workers right to work, we saw saw the devastation on the union and workers across the country. i knocked on the doors of the home care workers in san francisco and i met and talked to many of them. these were people living in tiny inlaw apartments. these were workers that gave up jobs to take care of family members. these are the folks taking care of the most vulnerable people in the city. with the experience that i saw and the people i spoke to that i learned from, you guys are like angels. you are doing incredible work to take care of most vulnerable

people. i feel strongly about this. you should be very proud of the work that we did to make this successful. i am so happy that the board of supervisors is doing this. i want to thank the board member s that took the initiative to push this issue to get this to a resolution. thank you all. >>

to the local picket line. when we say we believe women, we actually say we value women's work. we have to say both of those things. the ihss workers are 80% women of color. this is a gender equity issue, racial justice issue. i thank you supervisors for standing with the workers and women and the people of color during this work and nonprofit workers as well. this is caring work. they are caring for people. this is the women's work that needs respected and fully valued thank you for your leadership. laws.

we have been at this for quite some time. i i i -- i am hoping that for this labor movement we are getting getting a piece of legislation soon i hope these are passed with 11-0 vote today, not 10-1 or 9-2. i hope this is 11-0. we have total unity i want to thank you for participating we urge this moves across the finish line with the flag up today. thank you. >> iny you -- i think you should support it. i think what we need is to have a freeze right through. those people making $100 million a year we should ask them to come down.

if we keep going up that is what the president has in mexico and europe. we can't sell stuff because it is so expensive. everything collapses. i recall when 10 cents an hour was a wage. you are so good. i think good education, good job , start everything a business are real growth. we have growth next week is going to be over and we can't expect him to get raises. it is a big picture. we need to look at the whole thing. talk to make the millions, bring it down. that is reasonable. as the country's future is at stake. thank you.

>> how is it going? i am robert with scia10 two one. i am sharing on behalf of two long time janitors at tenderloin housing clinic. people with family. people who are going to be affected by by the compaction that is caused by this mco raise and something that i think you guys should consider how are the people who have been at this agency for so long been instrumental to people's recovery from living in un sheltered situations, how are they impacted? the first comment is from veronica who recently had her fourth child.

she is a janitor. my job exposes me to dirty and sometimes dangerous situations. janitors do a lot. we don't get paid for it. after work i am going home to four kids. i don't have time for a second job. minimum wage is not enough to pay rent, bills and child care. people like veronica are not making much more than the mco raise by the fact they worked there for five, 10, 15 years. i also have comment from john. my story is almost like everyone else. i live and work in the city of san francisco. i have two jobs with the rising of rent, food, car, gas, monthly park parking working paycheck to paycheck 17 hours a day. it is not enough but a start. i have to do a lot of over time for the high prices of co-pay

for going to the dentist. one job should be enough. that is it. thank you very much. >> exactly 30 years ago i was in rammed k -- in the medical center being rehabilitated. i learned quickly about the kindness of strangers. in home support of service. help is quite a bitsying a real live person if you are young or old. we are trying to keep the thread s of our society, fabric together. where is the future? are there going to be homes for

all of the families you carry on your shoulders for all of the districts representing san francisco, this is a huge jump to what the standard is going to be set for, and i want to tell you the best way to comment a worker is to show them on what they have on their paycheck. the best comments to give a worker. it shows that you understand on our shoulders are the families we are trying to put food on the table for, the roof we are try goes to provide. in home support service work is not easy. it is very painstaking hard job. when those elderly seniors are left behind have no family, this is the family that becomes their s. they are the ones that show dignity to the elderly people who have taken care of the city. i want to ask every every one of our supervisors to please stand

up. please stand. on everyone of your shoulders you can it is if you don't want to. i thank you. when you take this vote it took a collaboration between the mayor and that board of supervisors with this leadership this. is what delivers and the san francisco families wanted. they want to make sure on your shoulders i carry all of these. [applause.] >> i am debbie speaking for the san francisco human services network and the nonprofits that expressed concerns about this legislation. we all agree nonprofit workers need andy serve higher wages. we have been saying this for 20 years.

the discussion is not about whether but how we do that while guaranteeing the sustainability of our organizations and services our clients rely on as we have detailed in our letters, we have concerned about the funding and unintended consequences of the legislation which ask an unstanded mandate for the nonihss nonprofits with a potential cost of $20 million. everybody declared victory. this is not a win until it is funded. we must ask the board and mayor four commitment today for full funding of the true cost associated with this legislation this needs to be a shared city priority. when you talk about this next year this needs to be number one and not part of the ad-back process. we need the same protections any other ihss does.

we appreciate the creation of a working group the proposed make upto discuss the complex policy issues involved lacks expertise around experience of how to run nonprofit organization. we ask you a the language to eliminate specific numbers. simply let the controller cobs -- constitute the number of the policy conversation to address the impacts. i ask everybody to commit to the fight for $20 million to pay for this. thank you. >> next speaker. hello, esteemed board. christopher christian son with the ilwu local 10 and ilwu

>> 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.

good morning and welcome to the san francisco county transportation authority meeting for today, tuesday, october 23rd. our clerk is mr. alberto quintanilla. mr. quintanilla, if you could please call the role. [ roll call ]
