to be transported into a floating fish market? find out as we hop on board on this episode of "what's next sf." (♪) we're here with the owner and the captain of the vessel pioneer. it's no coincidence that your boat is called the pioneer because it's doing just that. it's the first boat in san francisco to sell fish directly from the boat. how did you establish your boat into such a floating fish market? >> well, you know, i always thought that it would be nice to be able to provide fresh fish to the locals because most of the fish markets, you would have to do a large amount of volume in order to bring in enough fish to cover the overhead. when you start selling to the public that volume is much less so it makes it hard to make enough money. so being able to do this is really -- it's a big positive thing i think for the entire community. >> a very positive thing. as a third-generation fisherman

joe as his friends call him has been trawling the california waters for sustainably caught seafood since an early age. since obtaining a permit to sell fish directly to the public he is able to serve fish at an affordable price. >> right now we're just selling what a lot of the markets like, flat fish and rock fish and what the public likes. so we have been working for many, many years and putting cameras in them. there's the ability to short fish and we have panels that we open and close so we target the different species of fish by adjusting the net. and then not only that but then the net sort out the sizes which is really important. >> joe brings in a lot of fish, around 20,000 pounds per fishing trip to be exact. >> we had one day one time that we sold almost 18,000 pounds. >> it's incredible. >> i know, it's hard to imagine. >> but this wasn't always the case for joe. >> the markets that we have left in california, they're few and far between, and they really are

restrictive. they'll let you fish for a couple months and shut you down. a lot of times it's rough weather and if you can't make your delivery you will lose your rotation. that's why there's hardly any boats left in california because of the market challenges. my boat was often sitting over here at the dock for years and i couldn't do anything with it because we had no market. the ability to go catch fish is fine, i had the permits, but you couldn't take them off your boat. >> that was until the port commission of san francisco rallied behind them and voted unanimously to approve a pilot program to allow the fish to be sold directly to consumers right off their boats. >> the purpose of the program is to allow commercial fishers to sell their fish directly from their boats to the end consumer in a safe and orderly manner for the benefit of the overall fishing community at the port of san francisco. we have limited the program to certain types of fish such as salmon, halibut, tuna and rock

fish. crab is restricted from this program because we did not want to interfere with the existing crab sales on taylor street and jefferson street. so this is not meant to favor one aspect of the fishing industry more than another. it's to basically to lift up the whole industry together. >> and if joe the program has been doing just that. >> it was almost breathtaking whenever i woke up one morning and i got my federal receiver, my first receivers license in the mail. and that gave me permission to actually take fish off my boat. once we started to be able to sell, it opened things up a bit. because now that we have that federal permit and i was able to ppetition the city council and getting permission from san francisco to actually use the dock and to sell fish here, it was a big turning point. because we really didn't think or know that we'd get such a positive response from the public. and so we're getting thousands of people coming down here

buying fish every week and so that's pretty cool. they like the fish so much that they take pictures of it when they cook it and they send us all of these pictures and then they ask us, you know, constantly for certain types of fish now. and when they come down here the one thing that they say is that they're so amazed that the fish is so fresh they could eat a little bit during the week and it's still fresh all week in the refrigerator. so that's really cool. >> the fish is very fresh and the price is super. i don't think that you can get it anywhere in the bay area. i can see it, and i can stir fry it, wow, you can do anything you want. i just can say this is a good place to shop and you have a good experience. >> this program supports the strategic plan in terms of engagement, people being connected to the waterfront, and also economic vitality.

because it's helping the fishermen to make ends meet. they have no guarantees in their businesses, not like some people, and we want to do everything that we can to help them to have a good and thriving business. >> how does it feel to be able to sell your fish locally kind of in the traditional way, like your grandfather probably did? >> when i was a kid and i used to work in my dad's fish market, a lot of the markets that we sell to now are second and third and fourth generation markets. so i remember as a kid putting their tags on the boxes of fish that we shipped out of monterey and ship down to l.a. so it's kind of cool that we're still dealing with the same families. and this is probably about the only way that anyone can really survive in california is to sell your own fish. >> one of the advantages of this program is the department people that pull in the fish, they can find out where they caught it and find out more about the

fisherman and that adds to their experience. the feedback from the fishers has been very good and the feedback from the customers have very good. and there's a lot of people coming to the wharf now that might not have done so. in fact, there's people that go through the neighboring restaurants that are going to eat fish inside but before they go in they see the action on the dock and they want to kind of look at what's happening on the boat before they go in and they have a meal. so it's generated some conversation down at the wharf and that's a good thing. >> as you can see by the line forming behind me getting ready to buy fish, the pilot program has been a huge success. for more information visit sfsport.com.

>> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively. the assessor's office is a big one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected

assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. for every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. but i think what most people don't know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. so it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. so this is an incredibly important part of what we do in

this office. it's an interesting place to be, i have to say. my colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. in my day-to-day life, i don't think about that role, being the only asian american assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of san francisco well. by being the only asian american assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. i hope by doing the best that you can as an individual, people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background. i grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents,

were immigrants to the united states. when my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. they had very little money, and they didn't know how to speak english very well. they came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i can't imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. so my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. as we grew up, we eventually had a small business. i very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. we went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. it really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and

viewing public service the way that i do. one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. >> make sure to be safe, and of

course to have fun. >> and then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why you're doing what you're doing, you know, i think you can't go wrong. it's funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. i became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, i'm shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, i'm sworn in and serving on the board of supervisors. for many of us who are going through our public service, it's very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader. sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. and i think how i was raised, i

like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with -- out ways to work with people to get things done. i hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of city government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. >> take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the one-on-one counseling. >> i wouldn't be where i was if i didn't have very strong people who believed in me. and even at times when i didn't believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do what i did. if there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether it's being a doctor or being in politics,

running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think it's really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful. . >> my name is dave, and i play defense. >> my name is mustafa, and i am a midfielder, but right now, i am trying to play as a goalkeeper, because they need a goalkeeper. >> soccer u.s.a. is a nonprofessional organization. we use sports, soccer in particular to engage

communities that can benefit from quality programs in order to lift people up, helping to regain a sense of control in one's life. >> the san francisco recreation and park department and street soccer u.s.a. have been partners now for nearly a decade. street soccer shares our mission in using sport as a vehicle for youth development and for reaching people of all ages. rec and park has a team. >> i'm been playing soccer all my life. soccer is my life. >> i played in the streets when i was a kid. and i loved soccer back home. i joined street soccer here. it was the best club to join. it helps me out. >> the tenderloin soccer club started in the summer of 2016. we put one of our mini soccer pitches in one of our facilities there. the kids who kpriez the club team came out to utilize that space, and it was beautiful

because they used it as an opportunity to express themselves in a place where they were free to do so, and it was a safe space, in a neighborhood that really isn't the most hospitalable to youth -- hospitable to youth playing in the streets. >> one day, i saw the coach and my friends because they went there to join the team before me. so i went up to the coach and asked, and they said oh, i've got a soccer team, and i joined, and they said yeah, it was he for everybody, and i joined, and it was the best experience ever. >> a lot of our programs, the kids are in the process of achieving citizenship. it's a pretty lengthy process. >> here, i am the only one with

my dad. we were in the housing program, and we are trying to find housing. my sister, she's in my country, so i realize that i have a lot of opportunities here for getting good education to help her, you know? yeah. that's the -- one of the most important things that challenge me. >> my dad was over here, making some money because there was not a lot of jobs back home. i came here, finish elementary in san francisco. after that, i used to go back to my country, go to yemen, my country, and then back here. last time i went back was a couple years ago. >> i came here six months, i know nobody. now i have the team has a family, the coaches. amazing. >> i'm hoping for lifelong friendships, and i'm super inspired by what they've been

able to achieve and want to continue to grow alongside them. >> i love my family, i love my team. they're just like a family. it's really nice. >> street soccer just received a five year grant from the department of children, youth and family, and this is an important inreflection point for street soccer u.s.a. because their work in our most important communities is now known beyond just san francisco recreation and park department, and together, we're going to continue to work with our city's most vulnerable kids and teach them to love the beautiful game. >> i want to tell everybody back home, i hope you all make it over here and join teams like this like street soccer u.s.a., and live your life. get a better life. >> right away, just be patient,

and then, everything will be okay.

>> good morning. oh, my gosh. this is not only an auspicious occasion, it is truly joyful. it is my tremendous pleasure and honor to ask you to give a warm welcome to our mayor,

london breed. you've got it. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: all righty, huh? we're getting started, but today is really a very happy occasion. i am so really honored to be here to celebrate the opening of 83 new 100% affordable housing units in the city and county of san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: what's so amazing about this project is not only are these units 83 units for formerly homeless persons but for formerly homeless families, people with children who will have a safe, affordable place to call home. 50% of the units will go to people who unfortunately were homeless on our streets here in

san francisco. that is something that we can absolutely be proud of. but we know we have more work to do. we know that we have a long way to go, but i am hopeful, i'm optimistic because not so long ago, i stood in this very room with a number of nonprofit organizations, a number of leaders in affordable housing and homeless services. we stood in this room, and we talked about an unanticipated amount of money that came to the city and county of san francisco. we did not expect this additional revenue, and i am proud to report that not only has the board of supervisors and i worked out an agreement for those funds, but i signed that legislation today. the eraf funding will go into effect, and as a result, right

next door to 1036 mission, we are going to build 250 new affordable housing units, 100%, for formerly homeless individuals. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: 250 units. and i've got to tell you, it is a great time to be mayor in san francisco, because although we know that our number one challenge is addressing homelessness and trying to make sure that sadly people who are struggling on our streets get a safe and affordable place to call home, folks are hopeful about the future of san francisco. we're out there working every single day with so many amazing partners, people who are willing to invest in projects just like this. i just want to thank t.u.c. and people like dawn, for your commitment to support and build

affordable housing projects all over our city, but your work in rehabilitating some of our affordable housing projects so that those places are also safe and the conditions of those -- that those residents are living in are good and quality conditions, as well. so i am just really excited to be here today, and i am so excited for especially the families, the people who are living here, the people who will be raising their children here and walking their kids to school from this very place. it's an exciting time in our city, as i said, and so many incredible people to thank, including dawn falk and tndc. thank you to the mayor's office of housing and community development, and the office of homelessness and supportive housing for providing the wraparound services necessary to make sure that these families not only have a safe and affordable place to call

home, but they thrive in the city and county of san francisco. and congratulations again to all the families, thank you to all the employees and all the folks that are going to continue to work with us to ensure that we continue in san francisco to build more housing opportunities like this for so many of our families and so many of the folks who need it the most. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor breed. you honor us with your presence. please join me in welcoming our supervisor, matt haney. [applause] >> supervisor haney: thank you, don. thank you for your leadership in making this come to fruition and for making so many more opportunities for community housing. i am so excited to be here as the district six supervisor. this is actually my very first

ribbon cutting as supervisor, and i couldn't imagine a more appropriate place and a more appropriate partner than tndc to be doing this with. this building and what it represents for the future of our community, for the people, for the residents who are going to live here, for our commitment to make sure that no family is homeless in our city, i think, is just such a powerful statement and a joyous occasion. i was a school board member for six years, and one of the most heart -- one of the most painful things that we have in our city is that we have far too many families who are without stable and secure housing, many who are either on and off our streets or in the shelters. some of whom are in studios or doubled up, this is the way we solve that problem, by building housing, by building housing of different types where we actually have not just one bedrooms, but we have two bedrooms, we have three

bedrooms. we know that families need to be able to have secure and stable housing as they grow and commit to place. i'm also very excited to see the open space that's here. i got to go, and if you haven't yet, go up and see the beautiful floor. it's in soma, a place where we're in need of open space. south of market is a place that needs more affordable housing. it's also a place where families are, and this needs to be a safe and clean and affordable place for families to be, and i look forward to working closely with tndc for the residents here. and thank you to all of the people who made this possible, all of the organizations, the investors, the staff of tndc. i know it's a huge operation to make sure that not just that we have housing, but that the people who live here are supported, and that they know that they have folks to talk to and places to play, and that

they're stable and secure over the long-term. so thank you for your leadership. i look forward to being at the next ribbon cutting. this is the first of many with mayor breed and her staff and certainly with tndc and congratulations to the residents. we're here to support you, and we're so proud for you letting us be a part of this today. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor. there can only be one first time. that's us. [laughter]. >> thank you. and now, i'm just so pleased to welcome to the microphone, gabrielle tolina, who lives here at 1036 mission street.

[applause] >> oh, wow. i just want to say thank you for building a place to call ours. and just thank you for having me this morning. sorry. i'm nervous. imagine watching two decades of homelessness and shacking up a number of six people in a two bedroom apartment or a total of 12 people in a four-bedroom apartment. my son and i are tenants here at 1036 mission with the tenderloin development corporation. from being homeless and staying with many members in my family to staying in a shelter, my journey to sustainable housing has been the most traumatic but humbling experience of my life. i'm a firm believer of the saying wellness starts from home, and how could my son and

i have any wellness or a place to focus on his childhood development with no place to call ours? being a single mother, there were so many obstacles that i faced that i couldn't see the light in and i didn't want to put my son through. but i knew if i didn't face these circumstances, i wouldn't be able to break the cycle of poverty and homelessness. i am the oldest child of ten children and being polynesian, we put our children first and no family is pushed out, but i didn't want to burden any family -- my family anymore. i did not want to take way from giving my siblings their own space, so i faced my fears and took advantage of every opportunity of finding sustainable housing. what i mean by taking advantage is utilizing every resource and program i qualified for as a stepping son to get my son and i where i needed to be.

the cha willings i faced through my journey with every supportive case manager has brought me strablized housing with the tenderloin housing development corporation. thank you for giving me son and i a place of peace, a place to grow, and a place to call our own. [applause] >> gabriel, you are the person who gives this home meaning. many different institutions helped finance the property that we see here, and we wanted to feature two of them in particular for their leadership. first, please welcome rich gross from enterprise. [applause] >> thank you, and for those of you that come to these, you

know that following the mayor or the resident are the worst two places to be on the list, so i get both of those. enterprise has a long history with tndc. you may be wondering why i'm carrying a mug with me. this is a mug from the ambassador hotel, which is the first project with tndc, since then, we've invested $10 million with five projects. since then, we've given grants to tndc, we've been dumped in a pool on behalf of tndc, and we have a member on the board of tndc. we know that san francisco is one of the most committed cities in the country for affordable housing. we work throughout the country

and we know that the crisis is worse here, but the commitment to affordable housing is the strongest here. we know who does the real work on these projects. the developers, the tndc project managers are the ones that stay up at night, worrying about cost overruns, the ones who have to worry about 40-page check lists for finances, the ones who have to fix things when things go wrong. so i know that the really heros of these projects and affordable housing projects in san francisco are the developers. so tndc, thank you. we are honored to be partners with you. [applause] >> thank you, rich. please welcome james lesucci

from chase bank. >> thank you, don. if you haven't already toured the project, definitely do that today. it's such a beautiful project. i love the unique perspective on the jungle gym on the second floor with the piece of drift wood. kids are going to love that. chase is so proud to be a partner with tndc and proud to be a partner with the mission. this is a great project, not just for allowing the residents to live, but to thrive. i really want to thank tndc, but i also want to thank the project manager, who you're going to here from next, chris cummings, who made the project come to fruition.

i want to thank all the partners, and the california department of housing and community development. lastly, communities like this are so important to chase, so i just wanted to say thank you for having us and allowing us to be here today. [applause] >> so what fun. i get to introduce the project manager for 1036 mission street, chris cummings. [applause] >> hi, everyone. again, it's chris from tndc. i'm very lucky when i joined tndc in 2013, 1036 mission was the first project assigned to me, and at that time it was still very much a vacant parcel of land.

but we are here, five years later, a beautiful community asset, and i am just so proud to be part of a team that put this project together. i only have a few minutes to speak so i figured i'd use this time to share a quick story that embodied what a community process this project really was. i remember well into the design process, one of the questions was how we should design the beautiful courtyard on the second floor of the building to best meet the needs of our residents, and we had a lot of great design ideas on the table but we could not make a decision, and we decided the best way to make a decision is to talk to more people about it. so we did some community outreach. i talked to a dozen people here at tndc who came up with some really good ideas, and our

design team, as well. the idea is 1036 mission is going to how's a lot of family -- house a lot of families, so let's make it interesting for kids, and we did. fast forward to 2018, i remember a very specific day i was on-site for a field assessment. the building wasn't quite done yet, and residents had not moved in yet, but fortunately there was some residents on-site signing their leases, and i happened to be up in the courtyard checking it out, and one of the managers brought them up stairs to show them the property they were moving into. i remember as soon as the family got up there, one of the boys in the family saw the giant log we have, and immediately ran up to it and climbed to the top, and yelled, i love this place. i promise you, i'm not embellishing it. i would love to standup here

for 20 minutes and call out the names of every single person that had a role in this job. but i would encourage people to pull out the list in their fliers and look at the list of everybody that made it such a successful community asset for it. if you have time, go up to the courtyard on the second floor and take a look at it. it's a really special place. thank you so much for joining us here today, and i hope you enjoy your time at 1036 mission. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, chris. words fail me. just -- so one of the great things about being the emcee is i control the microphone, and so before breaking up, i get to share a couple or three thoughts. one is that i'm really proud, tndc has several properties, including 1036 mission street

that are part of the filipino cultural district, so it just is a great honor for us to make the ground floor commercial space here available at a very low rent to want of our long time partners, allies, and sister agencies, somcan. they are planning on moving in here before the end of the year. second thing, i see casey back there. will you raise your hand, so casey -- [applause] >> by the way, mayor breed, casey, you met when you did your first walk along mission street, and you stumbled on 1036 mission street, and there was casey to meet you. so casey tells me 150 children live here, including three who were born since the property opened. it's a -- and then, i can't

quite help -- i won't call it reminiscing, but tndc first eyed this empty parking lot 11 years ago. okay. it's kind of a sad commentary on what it takes to get affordable housing built. it's not as bad these days. we've seen the great recession, and we've seen double digit construction cost increases. there have been a lot of problems along the way and a lot of problems solved along the way. in some cases, there's nothing that i could emphasize more than tndc's gratitude and our feeling that while we're the ones on the stage and our name is on title, this is truly a community asset, we would never be able to come close in doing this alone. in particular, every project

tndc does, virtually every project, our key partner is the mayor's office of housing. there are too many to call out -- many people that are here, you all are contributors. we want to thank you all for it. so i will close. we are doing a ribbon cutting, so this is instructions to people who want to be in the picture. we're going to do that immediately after we close right here in front. we have units available to visit, numbers 207, 506, and 902, so that's second floor, fifth floor, and ninth floor, and of course don't miss the courtyard, don't miss the rooftop garden, and there's food. thank you all for coming.
