a time when so much of the country is not safe, won countless cities refused to permit a single pride event, and people refuse to bake birthday cakes or create floral arrangements for people celebrating things -- same sex americans, or when our president prohibits gay pride flags to be waived at our u.s. embassy, and also prohibits transgender folks from -- trans folks from enlisting into our armed forces, san francisco proudly remains a sanctuary for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. for their commitment to improving the relationship between law enforcement and the lgbtq community, in their work to ensure san francisco remains a sanctuary for all lgbtq people , it is my prelate -- pleasure to honor the san francisco police officer's pride alliance in celebration of pride
8:01 pm
month. i thank you for your service and your advocacy and i would like now to turn the floor over to an officer and the pride alliance. [applause] >> on behalf of the pride alliance, i would like to thank you for this recognition. it means the world to us. a little history on the pride alliance, it was created in 2001 when a group of courageous san francisco police officers who identified as lgbtq establish an organization because they felt the department needed to change and that the relationships between the lgbtq officers and the department needed to be flourishing and needed to change for the better. i don't think those officers would have thought we would have had a rainbow s.u.v. rolling around the streets of san francisco or that police officers from the department, lgbtq, straight, allied, members of the command staff and the chief himself will be walking
8:02 pm
around the month of june wearing pride patches, which we would like to thank the commission and the command staff for allowing us to do this to begin with. we created this project for two goals mainly. first, to shed light on the youth homeless crisis within the city of san francisco, into support larkin street youth services and their fight to end youth homelessness within the lgbtq and people of color community. and to really show that san francisco police department is moving to become the forefront for lgbtq relationships and change with law enforcement as a whole. we want to show people in the community that if you have a problem, that we will take it seriously. we are there to serve the community, not just lgbtq, but people of color, straight people , everybody in the community who we serve, and we want to make sure members feel comfortable coming to us, and like pastor meghan said, we want to be that friend to you and we want to be that person that you
8:03 pm
8:04 pm
>> okay. next up is our supervisor from district three, supervisor peskin. >> thank you. i would like to invite shane watson and donna graves up to the podium. when our office is all received notice of this year's pride month special commendations, we immediately thought to honor the brilliant co-authors of the citywide historic context statement for lgbtq history in the city and county of san francisco. there's a lot to say about this monumental effort and how it started, but let me start by speaking in my own personal role as somebody who has championed historic preservation and advocated it in the northeast corner of the city. long before i came into elected office in the 1990s, i was community advocate and helped save the colombo building at number 1 columbus avenue.
8:05 pm
i became acquainted with the history of the black cat and the paper doll that this board of supervisors has landmarked today , and we ultimately saved one columbus avenue from the wrecking ball. that was right at about the same time that the carmel fallon house was on the chopping block, and the story of the context statement, i think begins in that effort to save that 104 -year-old victorian design by castro descendent carmel fallon at the intersection of market octavia and paige, led by a brave group of folks, the friends of 1800 market, that included luminaries like alan martinez, who later on joined the historic preservation commission, vincent marsh, denise lapointe, and many others i think commissioner martinez is
8:06 pm
here in the audience. that effort ultimately led to the preservation and land marking of that edifice that we recognize today as the building that houses the san francisco lgbt center. that preservation effort was informed by an understanding of the historic -- historical sites is not just simply about the geography and physical structure , but more importantly, about the cultural significance of the communities that inhabit that space and geography. i think that is what we are celebrating and honoring today. out of that effort, grew the first historical context statement of its kind in the entire country, pioneered by the friends of 1800, one that focused specifically on the history of lgbtq communities and the spaces they inhabit in san francisco. fast-forward a number of years, and along came shane watson and donna graves with an idea to expand upon that 23 page document, and in concert with
8:07 pm
the lgbtq historical society, and funding from the city's historic fund committee, which was money from the settlement of a lawsuit on the old emporium, the fantastic document that we and the authors, the brilliant co-authors of that document, is now the citywide historic context statement for lgbtq history in san francisco. it is an astonishing 365 pages of in-depth research that chronicles the history of san francisco's lgbtq community from the 19th century, and leading all the way up to the 1980s. i should say, normally we think of history as something as half a century or more, but the history of aids and the aids epidemic in san francisco is really part of the history and is included in that context statement. donna's reputation in academic
8:08 pm
circles is renowned and includes a host of publications on california landmarks, california 's japan to town and rosie the riveter. shane's more recent resume is no less impressive, specializing in the chronicling of lgbtq history , but extended to historic evaluations of ocean avenue, and a number of sights across the state of california. with respect to the rest of their bodies of work, it is difficult to imagine a project more impactful than this context statement. it is rightfully earning them the governor's historic preservation award, and the california preservation foundation's trustee award for excellence in historic preservation. it was the inspiration and foundation for the national park service is lgbtq themed study, the first lgbtq history project in the world to be commissioned by federal government. it is significant because our history, and even our planning process in the city should really be driven by much more then the share -- ear
8:09 pm
physicality of the urban environment. the context statement stands for principles that i think that are far more significant, that our history and understanding originates with the people. it is about the people who form vibrant communities, families, chosen or otherwise, and come together to be self-sufficient communities. it is an old principal, reiterated maybe back to the days of aristotle, but reiterated by jane jacobs in the middle of the last century, and all too easily forgotten. the lgbtq context statement as a reminder of the humanity of our history, of the critical role that the lgbtq community plays historically and currently in san francisco's fundamental identity. there's a lot more that i could say, but with that, i want to thank ms. graves and ms. watson for their outstanding contribution to the movement and the advisory committee, which include some of our here used -- heroes.
8:10 pm
congratulations and i'm delighted that your parents are able to join you here all the way from houston, and with that, i will turn the microphone over to you. and i only have one bouquet of flowers, so the two if you will have to fight over that. the floor is yours. thank you and congratulations. [applause] >> thank you very much, donna and i are grateful, especially to you, supervisor peskin and lee hepner for recommending us, also for your ongoing support of lgbtq preservation and historic preservation in general. thank you for that. as you mentioned, this project was funded by the historic preservation fund committee. we would not be here without that group of people. they were incredibly supportive
8:11 pm
throughout this project. thank you to those people. >> thank you. i would just like to share something that shows the surprising impact of this work. the citywide lgbtq historic context statement for san francisco is on a website called academia edu where i placed some of my writing. that site sends me frequent notices when people from all over find, read, and download the report. just since the beginning of pride month, people from the following places have found it in hanoi, pretoria, salon, lagos , shepherd's bush, part of the u.k., brazil, lyons, mexico, sacramento, addis ababa, brooklyn, washington, d.c., new jersey, samoa, minnetonka, and reading, california. i don't know whether that makes you tear up, but every time i
8:12 pm
get one of those messages, i am a little bit for clumped, and i hope that knowing that this work on our lgbtq plus history that everybody has supported is providing sustenance and inspiration around the world. it makes shane and i incredibly grateful to all of our partners and to the historic preservation fund committee, the city of san francisco, the board of supervisors, for ensuring that this document was created in the first place and is now being shared so widely. thank you. [applause]
8:13 pm
>> up next is our supervisor from district five, supervisor brown. >> thank you. thank you supervisor mandelman and your staff for organizing this today. today, in honor of pride month, i would like to commend gary mclean, "many of us know as a legendary marlena of marlena's bar in hayes valley. unfortunately, gary was unable to make it today due to an illness. his dear friend is here to accept the commendation on his behalf. marlena is one of san francisco 's and district five's greatest icons. he has done a lot for this community. over the years, he has uplifted voices and showcased queer art in district five.
8:14 pm
he has selflessly taken many people into his home, making them feel safe and welcome in the city by the bay. when i imagine what san francisco values would be like in a person, i think of marlena. he is someone who truly embodies the open to all philosophy. always opening his home and his heart with a kind word and a positive outlook on a changing city. for close to two and a half decades, marlena's helped space lgbtq people in hayes valley. it was a place to celebrate queer art and culture. before the freeway was torn down , it was also a place for black and brown lgbtq folks from the surrounding neighborhood to have a place to feel accepted and welcome. the bar itself was an outlier in the hayes valley, but that is what made it so special. many of us who visited and
8:15 pm
remember how the bar's electric decor, history, and culture it made us feel like we were being transported into a magical world anybody who had been in there, if you were down, marlena would give you a kind word to bring you up, and if you were a little saucy, she would actually make sure she put puts you in your place. now as a proud mother to many, marlena continues to be a legend in san francisco. i'm so happy and honored to commend a true san francisco hero, gary mclean, a.k.a. marlena, and i'm hoping that she is watching this on t.v. today. i know you have a few words. >> yes. thank you. first of all, marlena, i know you are watching, i love you. on behalf of gary mclean, better known as marlena to his friends, i would like to thank the supervisors, especially vallie brown from district five, and
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
>> okay. that brings us to supervisor from district seven, which is me [laughter] >> first of all, i want to congratulate everyone of the honourees today for pride month. it is a really great selection of people that we have chosen, especially that we -- the one i am going to be choosing. my 2019 pride month honouree for district seven is dr. steven tierney. come on up. [applause] >> there's a long list of accomplishments attached to my honouree's name, but let me just start by underscoring the most important ones because not --
8:18 pm
dr. stephen turney, multiple generations of lgbtq youth are alive today, not just surviving, but flourishing and paying for the gifts of another chance to live a healthier, happier life. dr. stephen tierney began his career after graduate school and continue to dedicate his life's work on caring for youth for decades while in boston, he founded the sydney burnham health centre for lgbt and homeless youth, which is a fully licensed primary care and mental health clinic. as well as the boston gay and lesbian adolescent social services, or even what we call the boston glass, which would provide safe space, education, and housing employment services.
8:19 pm
when we were lucky enough to have dr. tierney join us in san francisco in 1996, he became the executive director of the health initiatives for youth, also known as hi-fi, which was an innovative program that served as an incubator for new programs in services for san francisco transitional aged youth. he worked with former supervisor and current bart board member, devon duffy, to lead to the mayor's task on san francisco response to the crystal meth epidemic. his forward thinking and understanding of this epidemic is the reason that there are programs and services, to this day, to address meth addiction here in san francisco. he spent the last 15 years training the next generation of community-based adolescent
8:20 pm
psychotherapists as professors -- as a professor at the california institute of integral studies, and we could use every single one of them to make sure our children and our youth are living lives that are healthy, stable, and peaceful as possible now in his spare time, dr. tierney volunteers and performs suicide intervention and prevention training, as a response to the alarming trend of youth suicide in california. on top of all this, dr. tierney is also an ordained weakest priest and serves as the c.e.o. of the san francisco mindfulness foundation and is a full facilitator of the meditation for people in recovery groups have the san francisco zen center, providing access to recovery and wellness through
8:21 pm
meditation for hundreds of youth and young adults each year. dr. tierney, it is my immense honor to have you as our district seven resident honouree for this year's lgbtq celebration. thank you for your service. please give us some wisdom. [applause] >> thank you. i came to this work and dedicated my life to working with young people when my 17 -year-old brother died by suicide because he had been impacted by the heartbreak of a slick -- of exclusion and being in systems where there was no reasonable and safe and accessible mental health services for young people who were going through that search for self -- self that he was going through. i decided then, and have worked ever since, to have services that would make a difference, and so in boston, and here in
8:22 pm
san francisco, with the mayor's task force that led to the creation of the castro youth housing that opened the dimensions clinic for youth and a number of programs such as that, we have the opportunity to really change the lives in the life expectancy of young people who are dealing with exclusion and violence, and the other things that young people deal with. and all of the programs that you mentioned are still in operation today. some including the ones in boston that have 35 -- that are 45 years old. to be able to be here, again, the last time i testified here, i was the director of h.i.v. prevention for this city, and when i took that job, the number of new infections a year was 1150, and when i left that job, the number of new infections was 480 a year. what i said then, and what i say now, is all of the things that we talk about today, all work
8:23 pm
done by collaboration. the youth housing in the dimensions clinic were done with young people at the table. when we created the magnet clinic for folks in the gay community, that was done with people from the community, and each of the things that i have done, i believe has worked to the degree that it has because it was never about who was in charge of who might end up having such a wonderful honor as today, it was always about collaboration so that nobody would feel that heartbreak of exclusion ever again. thank you. [applause]
8:24 pm
>> all right. now it is the supervisor from district nine, supervisor ronen. >> thank you. colleagues, it is my great pleasure to recognize communities united against violence, the district nine honoree for lgbtq pride month. pablo espinoza and lydia salazar , the coexecutive directors of this exceptional organization, as well as kyle and dominic who are here today. thank you so much for being here and thank you for your patience, recognizing all of these amazing heroes. we celebrate you today for 40 years of grassroots leadership
8:25 pm
to build safety and power within lgbtq communities, as the oldest lgbtq antiviolence organization in the country. it began his mission to transform trauma and deliberation in 1979. following the assassination of harvey milk, ended a time of increased violence against the lgbtq community. particularly in the castro. launching a safety whistle campaign, they emphasize mutual aid and collective power, and then built upon the same approach by training community members to b.p. advocates and becoming the first lgbtq organization to provide direct services to lgbtq domestic violence survivors. since its inception, they have been an innovator from addressing domestic violence within the lgbtq communities, to organizing transgender people to stop police brutality, to becoming the first lgbtq membership-based agency in california to both provide direct service to survivors and
8:26 pm
organize them to lead change, policy advocacy campaigns. they have been at the cutting eight -- edge of social change movements. today they have expanded their opportunities for lgbtq survivors to develop themselves as leaders in their communities by designing a 40 hour anti- oppression curriculum that builds skills around community accountability and violence prevention, that connects their local work to larger movements around prison abolition and racial justice, and ultimately prepares their members to engage in policy advocacy and social justice campaigns. as the community continues to come under attack, one gender and sexual oppression are on the rise, when a transgender woman waiting at a bus stop on castro street was brutally assaulted and in a totally unprovoked attack, when a preacher slashed cost, and delivers a sermon calling for lgbtq people to be
8:27 pm
arrested and as -- executed, we know that their work is more crucially important than ever. where there is a need for leadership to protect the safety and health of our lgbtq community, they have delivered. you have set a high bar for healing, for resilience, for liberation, and community power. from the city of san francisco, thank you so much for your continuous and transformative efforts to make san francisco a safer city for all of us. we are so incredibly grateful to your work and can't wait to hear one or some of you speak on behalf of this amazing organization.
8:28 pm
8:29 pm
person, an out person, somebody who may go to a drag bar, may want to do activis activism in r community and to do it in a healthy way. over the years, we have been one of the few programs in the united states that works with lgbtq people that identifies domestic survivors and that's a small population of the community who continues need a lot of support and services because we have in this country a stigma to say what does it mean to be in a relationship. we're living in very tumultuous times politically and socially, but i think that we've always been in tumultuous times and i think that one of the previous speakers had talked about what
8:30 pm
does it mean to struggle internally as an lgbtq population, having different backgrounds and histories. quav has done a lot of tracking against lgbtq people and we live in this information age where we have a lot of information accessibility and we are seeing now, i think, for the first time just how prevalent against lgbtq people and it's important to invest in what it means to be a survivor of violence, what does it mean to look for counseling and support as an openly transgender person, as someone who might be still closeted in a place where they work. we sometimes see ourselves in a bubble here in the bay area when it comes to the lgbtq
8:31 pm
populations but we still have dealing with a lot of violents and discrimination in our own city. so we want to continue to lift up the voices of not just those folks who are here and surviving and being open and proud of being lgbtq but also folks that we have lost and we have lost a lot of community and we track a lot of death and a lot of violence again lgbtq of colour, and as you know by being on social media now, a lot of black trans women continue to be murdered and we want to lift those voices up and thank you for lifting our voice and celebrating the 40 years we've contributed to the change that is possible. and i want to also take this
8:32 pm
moment to just thank our staff and i don't know if anyone else wants to say anything but i want to continue to thank the folks that i work with and the tremendous hero work that they do and to our board and to our volunteers and to our supporters and to our donors, i want to say thank you very much and thank you, supervisor ronen. [cheers and applause]
8:33 pm
>> last but not least, our esteemed supervisor from district 11, supervisor safaye. >> yes, thank you. long anticipated. [ laughter ] we have to do what you did last time, president yi, and start with district 11 first next time. [ laughter ] but anyway, very, very honour and happy to be here today to honour a friend, life-long devoteee to the lgbtq community
8:34 pm
and their causes and leader in district 11, mr. steven currier. steve, come forward. i want to give a little background on steven. at the age of 12, steven and his family moved to florida but he was born in new hampshire in th. his fear wa father was in the m. he graduated from dillon high school in 1976. just a footnote, i was 3 years old at the time. prior to graduation, steven participated what was similar to the jrotc, the apptitude battery of the services and received a perfect score and a perfect score in his sat exams and applied to the air force academy
8:35 pm
and all three turned himself down and he decided to follow into his father's footsteps into the air force. in '76, he spent six weeks in san antonio, texas and was deployed to a altas, oklahoma ad in 1979, me was honourably discharged. it was a reminder of the injustices many of our lgbtq experience even before don't ask, don't tell. it was his tenure in the service, steven began to take college courses and following graduation and getting the gi benefits, he ended up graduating from oklahoma city university with a degree in vocal music. he moved to san francisco in 1983 where he managed multiple
8:36 pm
law firms all over the bay area until his retirement in 1991 and that's when the real fun began for those in district 11. he was the president of the outer mission merchant's and resident's association from 1998 all the way to 2015. so any department heads left in the room or any elected officials will note that steven is a prolific email writer and he is very detailed in his analysis of things that are happening in the community and he holds everyone, including me, accountable. steven along with omra, dealt with issues of quality of life, land use property, recreation and park, open space, playground issue and was heavily involved in saving the geneva car barn called the geneva barn house. it is on the slate to be demolished and two of historic buildings on the national
8:37 pm
registry in district 11 and we are just about to open the first phase of that work, $15 million renovation this fall and we will have performing arts programming for youth, which was the overall vision of the board members of which steven was a part of. he helped also resurrect and put a lot of time and effort into balboa high, being one of the most sought-after high schools in san francisco and was deeply involving in cleaning and greening his area of the city. steven worked closely with the san francisco police department regarding upgrading the diversity and training and we saw some of that today, community policing and he was part of the pride coalition of the sfpd, working to upgrade with the budget during the years from 2004 to 2009 along with chief heather fong and captain
8:38 pm
jim link. lynch. teach volunteered with shanty, the aids emergency fund and served on several nonprofit boards, the st. luke's episcopal church, the san francisco girl's choir, dignity of oakland and steven was appointed to sf undergrounding task force which we're super excited about that we now have bonding authority at pc that will allow us at some point to get aggressive undergrounding in part of the city that hasn't experienced them. i'm happ honoured to say we ape pointed hiappointedhim to the pn activistism and works with our office.
8:39 pm
steven and his partner of 27 years, mr. ken kaloni living in the outer mission neighborhood and have been homeowners for 26 years. thank you, steven, for being an advocate, a friend and holding me accountable, for always fighting for district 11, when many have not chosen to. and i see friends in the audience today that are part and parcel of your advocacy, and also, this is something that wasn't here in my notes but i know from personal experience, all opening up your home to have a wonderful, wonderful holiday celebration which so many people from all over the neighborhood and community come and participate with and it is one of the highlights of the year. i think it was the first time in over a decade that i haven't been to your house for the holidays. i know you all took a wonderful trip so we're looking forward to that next year. thank you for being here today. ithank you for all of the wonderful things you've done for the city and thank you for being
8:40 pm
a part of this wonderful celebration. (applause). >> it says on here two minutes and if anybody knows me, i can't even say hi in two minutes. >> do your best. [ laughter ] >> i want to thank you and i want to thank the people behind me that are here to witness this and i'm humbled, humbled with the people that were honoured before p me becaus me because ia big drop if the bucket. but i was raised in florida, grew up in new hampshire, and the only one in my family, including my mother, my father and grandparents, brothers and sisters that graduated from high school and let alone college with a higher degree and it was put upon me i needed to succeed and i needed to succeed not only on my own but to provide for myself and my family. i did move here from oklahoma
8:41 pm
and i picked up again yesterday, the mayor of castro, and read the whole thing yesterday again. and i recall, i was in oklahoma city on november 27, 1978, when in this building two people were killed. one was mayor george masconi and supervisor harvey mill. i immediately moved to san francisco after that happened, after i graduated from college and knew i wanted to do something big. but in the '80s, like you said, i volunteered for different aids organizations because we were inundated with men being sick. even partners of mine who have passed away and i spent my years in the '80s working at law firms, 12, 14, 16 hours a day and taking care of people, including my former partner who died in 1991 a few months before, in july of 1991.
8:42 pm
and i retired soon after that because i was ill with something totally different and miraculously i had surgery and i'm here today and i metmy met e partner who has given me all of these opportunities to do all of the things i've done up to today. there's a mentor in this room and he doesn't know i'm going to say this. but he and i worked closely together when we started and it was then, supervisor amos brown. [cheers and applause] >> -- who i looked up to and worked very closely with in this building, not only in district 11 because back then district 11 was not a district 11, but issued city-wide. and in 2000, when we did have district elections, there were
8:43 pm
about 97 people running for 11 seats on the board of sou supervisors. one of the things i thought of in those passing thoughts was that dan white lived down the street from me and i thought it would have been full circle if a gay man won the supervisorship of district 11 with a person who had shot two people at city hall and he represented district 8 at the time. it didn't happen, but i continued to do what i needed to do and that was to take care of my neighborhood, to work with people like mary harris with the district 11 council and members of omar that are here, everything from cleaning and greening to going -- and angela would know how many board of supervisor's meetings i've been
8:44 pm
to forever and ever and committee meetings. i did enjoy it. it was a long fight. with that knowledge that i have now, i'm able to help neighbors in issues that we were dealing with and one of them is supervisor safye brought to the planning commission, which is limiting the number of bedrooms in a house that were next door to me, a two and a half bedroom, one and a half bath that was bought and nine bedrooms were going in and we negotiated down. so it was with that advocacy that i have in my mind that i'm honoured, i'm honoured that you think of me. and two minutes are almost up. [ laughter ] >> but i want to thank you, supervisor. you're a great friend and i love you to death. >> thank you. >> love you right back, buddy. [cheers and applause]
8:46 pm
>> thank you, everyone, for joining us and happy pride to all and congratulations once again to our honourees. i want to especially thank supervisor mamdelman for his opening remarks and helping us lead this joyous occasion. madam clerk, let's go to number 43. >> item 34 is a resolution to authorize the public work's director to educate an agreement with various cities following a declared local emergency, to require reimbursement providing aid and affirm the determination. that's item 43. >> i think the house has changed to roll call, please. there item 43. (roll call).
8:47 pm
there are ten ayes. >> so the resolution is adopted. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> 44 is a resolution to determine the issuance of a type 21 off-sale beer, wine and distilled liquor license to prime now llc doing business as amazon prime now located at 888 tennessee street will not serve the public convenience and requesting the that california department of alcoholic beverage control deny the issuance of the license. >> ok. roll call, please.
8:48 pm
(roll call). this resolution a adopted unanimously. madam clerk, please call item number 45. a resolution to support california state assembly bill number 1076 authored by assembly member fill ting to provide efficient arrest and conviction relief through the california department of justice aautomating the process for those already entitled to record clearance relief under existing laws for those incarcerated
8:49 pm
persons, fair and earned opportunity to reintegrate into society. >> supervisor brown. >> thank you, president and madam clerk. today, the first reading of ab1076. ab1076 is a sensible piece of legislation that will provide relief and advance the goals of restorative justice for 8 million californians. this will review databases to identify people eligible for dismissal or expungement or
8:50 pm
conviction records. the doj would examine all arrests and conviction records dating back to 1973, to find folks who are eligible for automatic relief. current law does allow individuals to clear arrest and conviction records that are eligible for dismissal through the petitioning of the court. yet, less than 20% of people who have a right to clear their records do so. many do not know it's an option. others lack the resources to hire an attorney to file the petition and shepherd it through the court system and add as a result, many find themselves in prison for life. as a city, we have said to the world that we must do better at instituting restorative justice. ab1076 moves the state forward on doing just that.
8:51 pm
folks who have paid their debts to society must be able to access jobs, housing and other opportunities without encountering road blocks removed if they had the means to do so through the current system. it and i wani want to thank my s for cosponsoring this resolution. thank you. >> i think the house has changed again, so roll call, please. (roll call).
8:52 pm
there are ten ay session. >> this resolution is adopted with 10-0 vote. >> madam clerk, please call the next item. >> item 46, ordinance to amend the administrative code to expanded the displaced tenant prams to cover tenants where the units will no longer be restrict bid a regulatory agreement or other affordable housing restriction within five years and market rate rent and tenant buildings is more than 20% of the household income. >> thank you, this legislation proposes to expand the displacement tenant preference that representative will increase to 40% of their income due to the loss of government issued affordable restrictions. this is only available for owner move-in evictions or fire and
8:53 pm
gives applicants higher priority in many housing lotteries and has been highly successful. mohcd has reported there's still room in this programme and this legislation will expand to protect tenants living in housing where affordable restructions expire, including housing developments that one, have affordability restrictions lasting until the tem of their r contract. as afford ability restrictions expire, they are no longer in a contractual requirement to maintain below-market rents. in recent years we've seen examples of these e expirationsn south beach marina apartments and 737 post in district three. in my district, affordability expired at the filmore housing.
8:54 pm
it will expire at finance projects an early inclusionary projects in this city. in some cases, the city and owners may be able to negotiate deals that permanently preserve affordability and in other cases, it will not be feasible. we need to make sure we are providing options for tenants facing loss of housing through no fault of their own simply because an affordability option will expire. this bill does that and i look to working with all of you. >> can we take this item, same house, same call and without objection, this is passed on first reading unanimously. madam clerk, the next item. >> item 47 been to appoint
8:55 pm
