2:08 pm
hopeless families used to have a way out but are now completely excluded due to the rehabilitation of public housing and so they have really no way out of homelessness. families who are living in single-room occupancies as families experiencing homelessness in san francisco are excluding from accessing any homelessness housing or services because through the entry, they are blocked from ever accessing those services. so these housing choice vouchers are vital so that families can be able to get out of homelessness and this is really the only exit these families have to get out of homelessness. thanks so much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is robert hoffman. i am a 20-year resident of district six and i work with the

2:18 pm
wanted to express my support. from thank you for coming today. thank you very much. >> not it makes a difference but successive waves of inflation have *have raised wages and it s out the lowest wage level in years, contributing to fueling wealth and economic growth. the government's expanded role in the housing market will exacerbate housing costs. this principle is universally understood among economists and also benefit tax production, obviously. government intervention tends to benefit monopolies and this is obviously in scandinavia and

2:20 pm
>> so i want to thank the public for coming out and expressing their opinions. as you can see from the public, just this small number of people that came out today, there's -- you can tell there's a lot of needs and different needs and obviously today only represented .1% of all of the people that could come out and navigate. there's always an issue of, you know, where do you put your resources when you have limited resources? do you put it on the immediate or do you put some of the funding or resources in the prevention? and there's always this tension between well, somebody needs it right away and at the same time,
2:21 pm
we don't ever pay attention to the prevention piece. as the result is what we're seeing right now, actually, that we're never going to decrease the number of people that are going to be homeless in the streets. every year it's been going up because more people are coming into that type of situation. so i'm kind of glad that we've had this opportunity, very unique opportunity in san francisco this year with funding. i think we put a lot of resources, spread it out on the first round of it. and i think this particular piece of legislation creating the footbal affordable housing s
2:22 pm
somewhat of a fund. for instance, a lot of it will lend itself to the strength of trying to prevent others to become homeless. and as i was speaking to chair fewer when she introduced this, originally introduced this, i had some concerns about the approach and mainly what if we don't spend down on a certain amount and the money just gets stuck there. there's so many needs that we're hearing, that i hate to see it get stuck in a pot of reserve money. so in going some of the changes that were made, in particular your section on page 2d, you
2:23 pm
know, where it starts talking about after two years making a report and then doing an analysis of where the funding caps are and having flexibility in terms of a discussion at that time and we're not spending it down. where can we spend the resources so that we can actually help people on streets, help people from coming onto the streets. i think with that amendment, i would like to say to you, supervisor, fewer, i'm supportive of this and i know i have not put my name on it, mainly because of my uncomfort level. so i would like to be added as a cosponsor and thank you for doing this. >> thank you very much. i'm honoured. supervisor mandelman. >> i'm jusi just, very briefly,o
2:24 pm
think you for your leadership and chelsea, if you worked on this, as well. but for your leadership on housing issues certainly before i was on the board but even in the short period that i've been around, copa and then eraf one and now two, one of the things striking to me is how many set asides we have in our budget for various savored purposes but when house housing is the greatt crisis in the city. we have a very menial fund that gets set side every year, which is $30 million, which is completely improve sufficient te need now and being bold and continuing to find other sources of funds is totally the right direction and thank you for your work on this. of course, thanks to everyone
