5:00 am
time. in the mills i see new neighbors coming in and not wanting us to do carn a val when we've been doing it for 50 years and they leave after two or three years and those of us that stay do our culture events. i would ask if staff can work with that i am not sure if our city attorney can weigh into make sure we let people know. thank you for being considerate and thinking about the 10 year lease agreement for local businesses. one thing i think that this commission has shown time and time again is that projects that lift the community and grow the community as well are the most
5:01 am
successful projects that happen and the most impactful and that's part of your legacy, right. not only you are just building a great building but you are also lifting the community up and you can't put a pricetag to that. this is a great project and i'm glad you have community support. with that, madam secretary, can we take roll. >> can we get a motion? >> yeah, i'm sorry. >> motion by chair rosales. >> second it. >> seconded by vice-chair scott. >> commission members, announce your vote when i call your name. commissioner scott. >> yes. >> vice-chair rosales. >> yes. >> chair bustos. >> yes. >> the vote 3 ayes one absent. >> great, motion passes. thank you. madam secretary, if you can call the next item. >> the next order of business is agenda item 5c.
5:02 am
workshop on annual housing production report fiscal year 2018-2019. discussion. madam director. >> thank you, madam secretary through the chair, this item is annual -- >> can we -- excuse me, ma'am, we're already -- can someone let her know we're starting the next item. thank you. madam director. >> so, this item is annual housing production report. as you know, just about two months ago we presented on the 2017-2018 and we've now completed the 2018-2019 and we're pleased to report that the number have improved considerably but i'm going to turn it over to jeff white to give the overview.
5:03 am
>> >> good afternoon, commissioners and director. i understand that time constraints so i'll try to go through this in a good clip. so, jeff white, housing program manager. and i'm here to present the results for fiscal 18-19 of the housing program and for ocii's major development project areas. you probably recall just a few months ago you saw an annual report. we were delayed due to changing the format of the report and we should be back on track. keep in mind the results that you are seeing are for as of june 2019. the report is in draft form so to the extent you have comments or suggestions, we're open to hearing those and when we get incorporated to those comments we'll get the draft circulated
5:04 am
to interested parties and then post that on our website. thank you. >> so i'm going to go through in the same format report so overview of the housing program and the projects areas and the fiscal 18-19 results including marketing outcomes and then more specifics on housing completions and starts and projects and construction. a quick overview on sir tive kit of preference highlights. and then the small business enterprise and workforce highlights. here is a map just as a reminder. i'm sure you know this well of the three major projects. starting in the north you've got trance bay and then mission bay
5:05 am
north and mission bay south and then hunters point shipyard phases 1 and 2 in candlestick. this slide is a overview of all of ocii's housing production. it shows both market rate and affordable and over all there will be more than 21,000 housing units of which 32% will be affordable. >> which serve all the way from extremely low income to moderate income san franciscans. i have the income for a four-person household on the slide and the rents for the two bedroom unit for those
5:06 am
households, for example, would be $1386. i want today give you a quick update on some changes in the funding environment for ocii's affordable housing. i think you have seen in the past the typical funding instructionture includes low income housing tax credits and tax exempt bonds. they come through the state tax credit allocation committee and the bond allocation comes from the california debt limit allocation committee. so, the change in the environment that is happening that we're seeing is the state is now finding the over subscribed for the bond allocation 3-1. there's about 10 billion in demand and there's about 3 billion in allocation
5:07 am
available. so, as a result, the state has decided to in 2020 to go to a competitive allocation process. before, through the end of this year, it was like over the counter meaning when you are project was ready, you just go submit an application and would get the allocation, assuming everything is good with your application. so, what that means, and this is kind of moving and changing day-to-day. in terms of how we're understanding how that's going to impact the projects in san francisco, that will impact the mayor's office of housing and community development projects and ocii projects. the takeaway at the moment is what we're concerned about is it could end up having a really severe impact on our funding because the -- part of the competitive process includes the high cost component.
5:08 am
san francisco, we tend to be extremely high cost. to the extent projects throughout the state have an application and they tie, the tie-breaker, as it existing now is basically something that would disadvantage san francisco projects. so, we're watching it closely. we're working really closely with mocd and our advocacy partners to lobby to have some emergency regulations put in place that won't disadvantage our projects. so, nothing else really to report at moment. we are lucky with one of our projects get on application in last friday for the last over the counter application period. so that project, we hope, will be fine. so, i'm going to jump back into the report itself.
5:09 am
so this slide as well showing this showing thehousing productt area and shipyard phase 1, 31% of the housing is complete and at build out 29% will be affordable. in shipyard phase 2, 3% of the housing complete today. 31% will be affordable at build out. all three percent is complete are affordable project is alice griffith. ok. in mission bay, over all, 89% is complete and over all 29% will be affordable. mission bay north is complete. mission bay south is 80% of the housing is complete today and 34% will be affordable. in trance bay zone one, 40% of the housing is complete today
5:10 am
and build out 43% in zone one will be affordable. so this is just a visual representation of our housing completions in fiscal '18 and '19. we had 1,072 units that were completed and 152 units started construction. and funding activities, we had $51 million that included a pre development loan for shipyard phase 1 and a gap loan for the project in mission bay south. >> this is repeating what i just said but i want to highlight its fiscal 18-19. it's a strong year with housing completions. so more than 1,000 units and it
5:11 am
is low income housed. i'm not going to go through them one by one. you have those in your report. one of the takeaways is and it is 89% of what we have completed to date and all three project areas is family rental.
5:12 am
i will just jump through these. in fiscal 18-19 we had one housing start and this is 152 units and some units to help coming from sunny dale. and we've got a lot of projects in construction. this slide shows we've got 1266 units and six projects and 536 of those are affordable. there's one smaller project in shipyard phase 1 and two in mission bay south and three in transbay. so i'm going to jump to an overview of our marketing ocii
5:13 am
affordable housing. we had the housing preference and we'll be starting to apply the neighborhood housing preference. that only gott got adopted in al of 2019. so as a marketing overview of the results, we had 359 affordable units and four different projects that reached 100% occupancy during the reporting period. and of those units, we had more than 20,000 applicants.
5:14 am
and they went through the process. so of the lottery units we had, 13 certificate preference holders were housed and they were households that returned to san francisco and they had been living outside of san francisco and this is the marketing outcome by project. where going to have the cop workshop just following my report and as highlights, you can see over the past six years, the trend and a higher number of cop applying for housing, which it reflects the extra outreach we've been implementing over the
5:15 am
past four or five years now. this slide shoes some highlights of the small business program and workforce. the developers are working co-operatively to meet the 50% goals and 30% of the contracts or $30 million were awarded to sbes in fiscal 18-19. 52% in professional they performed 300 hours of work. and just to highlight the housing accomplishments that we're reporting, it is a result of everybody at the agency a big
5:16 am
design review and real estate folks. and the housing team, elizabeth, kim, pam, and annie wong. so a big thank you to all the hard work for the housing staff. with that, i'm happy to take any questions. >> thank you. do we have any speaker items on this? >> no speaker cards for this item. >> anybody wish to speak on this item? mr. washington. >> how are you? >> blessed, dressed but i'm still looking for success. how is everybody. i'm glad to be back. this is my first appearance at the ocii. i've been east in baltimore. my daughter has a nice bar and
5:17 am
grill. a nice establishment. you see i gained weight. [laughter] >> yes, you did. i'm back without a fact and i'll be going back there. i just wanted to stop by and make a cameo appearance. i see things are just moving along as usual. quote-unquote. but primarily one of my main objectives is the filmore to baltimore. i'll tell you about that later. so, my primary objective is the filmor and it's primary involvement that when it's going to go down and now that we have a new super supervisor in district 5 for one year, there's a lot of changes. it's so complex. it's a big game changer.
5:18 am
so i'm going to but, because of all the changes, in the last few years, it's time for us, me the community and residents to have a sit down. it's not going to be complex. i know the holiday season so don't worry about november and december. when the smoke clears, in politics here in the city by the bay. we're going to go over some great changes in our community. we've got the migration going on and then that toolbox, which we have the new office of rare

5:20 am
i just want to commend the staff for a very thorough report and just kind of lays out i think in just easy to read and easy to understand but the impacts that come back i think are, we have great collaboration with our city partners and private partners and i mean, on local hire and affordable housing and on production. it seems like we're meeting our milestones. i know the work, the staff is working very hard so i want to say thank you. >> thank you. i just want to echo the same things. you are working very, very hard and the fruits of your labor is definitely showing and it's also second nature for this
5:21 am
organization to keep doing all the righteous works so i want to thank you for that. >> i too want to thank you, jeff, and pam, the full team. especially for this report. the full report. it was in lightening more than i would have even asked for. i'm impressed. thank you. >> thank you and maybe madam director if there's a way we can share this information with the mayor and the rest of the board of supervisors so they know the great work that is happening by our staff and the local partnerships. thank you. madam secretary, next item, please. >> the next offered business is agenda item 5d workshop on marketing and outreach report. fiscal year 2018-2019. from the mayor's office of housing and community development. discussion, madam director.
5:22 am
>> thank you, madam secretary. through the chair, this item again is a continuation from the prior item on the annual housing production report this is specific et and the fiscal year 18 and 19 and housing and communities development and we have team team here with us and introduce the mayor of housing team led by benjamin. >> hi, i'm pam sims. i'm a a senior development specialist in the housing division. i'm here to talk about the fiscal year 18-19c.o.p. annual report. as you know, eligibility c.o.p.
5:23 am
holders were displaced in the 1960s and 70s with agency action in the western edition. the hunters point areas of the city. currently there are 950 active c.o.d. holders with affordable housing that me might apply to that said they don't need to satisfy all of the resident criteria for units being offered. for fiscal year 18-19, o.c. i. has mr. white said, we had four rental projects leased up for a total of 246 available water units. for those units, there were the
5:24 am
c.o.p. coordinators, zoni soniak daniels and they be engage and apply for affordable housing. she's responsible for cop mailings confirming eligibility, issuing new certificates, obtain subsidies for under income c.o.p. holder applicants and responding to questions c.o.p. holders have which often means, oh no, i am so sorry. which often means c.o.p. holders may have, how do they prove residency? and assist c.o.p. holders through lease up and sale processes. as of june 30th, 2019, there were a total of 950c.o.p. holders engaged. 1,815 are housed in affordable
5:25 am
housing units in san francisco. 1,618 are known deceased and unfortunately we don't know the status of 200, 2,500cop holders. of the 950 holders a total of 314 have used their certificate ones and 427 individuals have never used their certificate and holding on to them for that special opportunity and 209 applications are received for housing in fiscal year 19-19. of the 209 applications received for housing in the last fiscal year a total of 24c.o.p. holders were housed and 29 were weight listed and three holders were denied for credit, criminal or another barrier. 14c.o.p. holders were over income and five were under
5:26 am
income and 134 withdrew or there was no response from them. this is group we're interested in and will focus on in the next fiscal year. outreach accomplishments for the last three years shows that in fiscal year 18-19 while we had more c.o.p. holder applications for the number of housing the number of c.o.p. holders that were housed was down a bit in comparison to the past couple of years. this could be due to the fact that oci had 247 units don't to lottery verse what's we had seven projects or 350 units go to lottery. also, in fiscal year 16-17oci only had three projects go to lottery or 186 units, however, of those, one was a very popular and 100% subsidized dr. davis senior housing and one of the others was the pacific point
5:27 am
development in the shipyard at 50% area median income. i think it's fascinating. quickly, i want today review the information we learned in the 2017 survey of active c.o.p. holders that was conducted by lake research partners. from the 114 respondents, we learned that c.o.p. holders tend to be seniors who have smaller households, living rental housing in san francisco, who are interested in senior housing. they often need assistance and are interested in rental and home ownership opportunities in the western edition and the mission bay area. additionally, they are primarily black females who are older than 50 years of age and most comes under $30,000 a year. or 30% of area median income. as a result of the survey, oci is requiring income chairing above and below 50% of area
5:28 am
median income as mr. white pointed out. a mix of unit types in comprehensive services to all age groups and all request for proposals and annually providing a list of coming soon units in the western edition and ensuring compliance with early outreach requirements and annually meeting with housing counseling agencies to determine effectiveness and continue to inform, educate and educate cop holders about using dalia when applying for housing. assuming available funding, new outreach efforts would like to complete include preparing for an investigator to search for additional individuals who may be eligible for cop. especially individuals who were living in-house holds we know were displaced.
5:29 am
using social media resources to locate individuals. we will be preparing for the design and implementation of an interactive map to assist individuals who think they might be eligible in better determining their eligibility for cop. when we reach c.o.p. holders we want to engage with these individuals. early outreach notification allow c.o.p. holders the time to think about living in a particular community and to address any issues for instance, credit, that they might be facing. we're very excited about the launch of the c.o.p. holders' club to provide support networks for c.o.p. holders to stay engage by attending workshops and applying for affordable housing opportunities. so, in the audience today is the c.o.p. coordinator, sonia mack
5:30 am
daniels. she will take advantage. o.c. l. will continue income in all affordable housing being developed and we will find out what made an opportunity attractive, why did they stay engage or why did they decide to withdraw from the opportunity. maria benjamin, sonia pack pack the coordinator and sonia delgado the b.m.r. rental housing manager are all here and we're happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you so much. do you have any speaker cards? >> we have oscar james. >> mr. james.
5:31 am
>> oscar james again. first of all, i want to say, the certificate of preference office that puts the information out i have a card that comes and i get five of these cards in my house and i can't get the family members to move to -- well, anyway. they do a good job getting this information out. to certificate holders. one thing i want and i notice it might be off the sur joke, and i've been crying for a number of years, to try and get the grandkids certificates of preference also. we have a lot of them who would love to come back to the community but unfortunately they don't have a certificate. i have one son who was born
5:32 am
after we moved and i never used my certificate of preference even though i bought a home. i never used my certificate yet in hopefully if i get mine out, and turn my home inform my daughter's name i can get a senior place away from the kids. i whoa love to see some of the grandkids get certificate. ms. london breed, i used to bring that up then. maybe you guys could blow in her ear and have get that for the grandkids. but like i said, they're doing a tremendous job in getting out the information and i know, i have some my wife has some nephews and nieces that live in maduro and i forget what the other place is. we were telling them about
5:33 am
certificate of preference also. they do have certificates and they were relocated and i talked to people who is out of the city and tell them to get in contact with the certificate preference information and some of them have and they've been blessed getting the information to them so they can give it to the other people who it is going around where the list should be getting larger. thank you, very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> casandra. >> >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. thank you for being here. thank you for i was asked by
5:34 am
zonia to come and speak. i want to just -- i'm a certificate of preference holder. i was a infant when my parents were displaced. they were vibrant artists in the community. my mother was from sweden and she spoke very little english. my father drove a cab and was a sculptor. very young man. when i was a baby, we moved. and no one told me why. my family would drive back to san francisco over and over again when i was a little girl. i never knew why. i was very artistic and i was cultivated to love the arts and i never understood these trips back into the city. my father was a proud sa sil yan
5:35 am
and he would talk about it and dream about it. i grew up and went to college. i got a bachelor degree at u.c. berkeley and i lived far from high school and went to community college first and got my masters degree and living in berk re. i'm an artist and engage in the arts and music. and when the outreach office contacted my father and i guess 2015, he called to tell me about this program and they said it's a scam. it's a scam. i know it's awful in the bay area to find remotely affordable housing if you are in the arts and i teach at a college as a lecturer and so it's kind of scattered work but to return my father here and mother through their daughter. so i thought it was a scam. and even when my father kept pushing me to look into it, when i did, brooke was working in
5:36 am
sonia's position and i was skeptical but i sent in my birth certificate and got this certificate mailed to me. i remained skeptical. i thought what kind of program could this be? it doesn't make sense. ultimately, i was called by thie these people calling me? what is their motive. and so, the private investigators who reached out to my family ultimately i now live in san francisco and return to san francisco and i'm the first in a lottery for the measure a building and so it took me a lot of work. so i just wanted give -- my family spoke of this beautiful african american neighbors and now i get this was a very rich community. thank you. >> thank you.
5:37 am
>> ash washington. >> can you come up to the mic. >> my name is ace. i was born in that place. you know my history i don't have time to go but one day i sat down to talk about it because it's one extreme to the other and i want to congratulate the staff and and when she first came here and and she did a wonderful job and i don't know -- you came on the same time and that picture and so, they did a wonderful job and it cannot be denied. i'm just going to talk about right now, the next two minutes. is history young lady. she can understand.
5:38 am
she comes from where she can. i was born and raised and i came up when development agency, i knew mary rogers and when they tried sued to try to get the master lease and which i would call a certificate of preference and whatever you call it right now and i'm honored i believe able to have this and none were on ex september foon ex septembs morales and i hear in the report there's a whole big list that we don't know who the people are and there is a list still it's called the master list. and waypack sued some of their hard on money we got from the federal government to get that list.
5:39 am
so i won't go into it. i've got one minute left. i'm honored and amazed and i have to get your photos because they're doing a wonderful job. i got to give it to you. you are part of the new era. because right now we don't have no time for era. in the three eras are misguided leadership, failed effort, and the most egregious violation that ace on the case cannot stand is undermining the community. everyday we had a level that we started and we starting a whole new era and we have london breed, queen b the mayor and all this new stuff going on so i'm just happy. i'm tickled, not tickled pink but tickled black rit now and and thank you, very much. >> thank you mr. washington.
5:40 am
no more speaker cards. is there anybody here here what and are there any questions or comments. >> no questions. just a comment of joining the others with congratulating you, pam, sonia, you know i just bother you all the time. all the time. but i thank you that you make yourself available for that and if you don't have the answer, you find it and you come back and pam, for this thorough report, full can annual thank you so much maria, as a team. >> thank you,. >> vice-chair. >> i echo the bank and i have some questions and i just jotted them down but one of them, i'm interested in the usage of dalia
5:41 am
by by stakeholders. there's a percentage that is still doing business and i am just trying to see whether dalia is a good tool. >> again, pam sims. and actually, dalia continues to be a very good tool for our cop holders as you know are elders. and actually the number of paper avenuapplications was up for 189 versus 17 or 18. there were six paper applications for cop holders out of 209. >> that's excellent. >> another question i have is, because i keep getting confused in my mind about the rent subsidiaries is the cue foundation the only vehicle for rent subsidies? >> unfortunately, that is the primary go-to organization for rent subsidiaries that are on
5:42 am
going there. other organizations that may help with deposits or application costs, moving costs but for on going rental subsidiaries, the key foundation is pretty much it. the housing authority vouchers are another good source. unfortunately our housing authority isn't right there right now. it could be a couple years before any vouchers are available for them. >> how does the cue foundation obtain the money to provide the subsidiaries? does it come from the city? >> yes. >> and if you want a more comprehensive answer, maria can answer that for you but yes, it comes from the city. >> ok. >> i'm trying to wonder why the city doesn't do it directly or do more of it? >> maria benjamin. it does come from the city, there's a limited amount, it's really expensive rental
5:43 am
subsidiaries. you know, because they're on going for as long as a person is living in the unit. and there are -- there's been work done to review and figure out other funding sources for more rental subsidiaries and i don't have anything real to tell you right now about it but we know that there's a need for more long-term rental subsidiaries. >> without the laboring, the point i thought that the tipping point and some other private sector actors that are doing charitable types of ventures that rent subsidiaries could be or would be parts of their programming, does that make sense? >> again -- >> if you put it out maybe you will happen and someone is listening. so then, my last, i know you want questions chair bustos. on the western edition list, and
5:44 am
the interactive map i thought they were both great items and certainly the interactive map is very creative. so this list of coming soon units in western editions since aa lot of folks said western edition is the place, how is that list comprised. obviously with the mayor's office of housing and then secondly, who gets that list? is it just blasted to everybody? >> what we've done in the last couple of years and i think you may both have received it is we do a holiday letter. and in the holiday letter, we always add in there because we know what c.o.p. holders wanted to hear and we list all the units that go on to their website and they have this tool that allows me to determine what units will be coming on in the next year. and we put those units, whether they're rental or ownership in the a.m.i. levels for individuals and it goes out to everybody who is 950 on the
5:45 am
list. >> thank you. >> thank you, vice-chair. i just want to say thank you so much. there's such a difference between when i remember back in 2009 when i first joined the commission when it was redevelopment and now even the way you presented it, this really is about public service and i truly believe that you have done your best and are continuing to do your best, especially with the steps that you are outlining to maximize success. this is really awesome work that you are doing and even having the investigators, i remember back then when mayor newsome when i worked for them he said go to redevelopment and talk to the executive director about putting in $100,000 to find some investigators to go out and find people so i'm glad that we're
5:46 am
using all means necessary to locate people that rightly deserve the opportunity to come back. please, keep up the incredible work of this public service that you are doing. and know that you are actually making a huge impact in the lives of people. so thank you so much. madam secretary, next item. >> the next order of business is item 6, public comment on non agenda items. we have one speaker card. oscar. >> you see me coming up here but as long as they have an agenda i'm going to be on it. >> thank you. anyway, two things i want to speak on. one, you know, back in the day, we had a training program, the ocii was redevelopment agency had a training program. larry hollinsworth and i forgot
5:47 am
the other person who they were trained for property manager, management, anyway, larry hollins worth, he managed the jackie robinson and another unit up there on cashmere in hunters point. can you try and get another training program to train some of these people in these projects who want to be property managers to manage some of these units that is in there and also, not only do they train them, when i first came back in the '70s, they trained a lot of people like under ms. dunbar for property managers and different things dealing with property. but that was a training program the redevelopment agency had. i think it's time for this agency to come up with that type of program again. to train people in the community and wore going to upgrade and
5:48 am
help people in the community to process teprosper and be succesn life. we need to have more training programs for them. the other thing i brought, i know we're not glide as big as glide and thanksgiving, but my church is having a thanksgiving dinner for anyone who don't have a place to go. thanksgiving, my wife and myself and members in our church are preparing food and i'm going to claim good cook. my wife also i'm smoking eight turkeys and she's baking 11 turkeys and we're doing ham, we're doing everything that grandma used to do for thanksgiving. so, homeless, whoever, don't have any where to come, come to st. john's, i'm leaving some flowers for you guys. come out and participate. it's going to be from 12:00 to 4:00. like i said, it's just a pleasure to be a servant and i know you guys are servants who
5:49 am
have done things for our community, various communities and i really like and respect each and every one of you individually and keep up the good work. >> thank you, very much. >> thank you. >> anybody else wishing to speak? seeing none, i'm closing public comment. madam secretary, please call the nueces countnext item. report of the chair. >> there's no report. >> next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director. madam director. >> thank you. i'll go quick. i do want to note that after the commission's actions and the candlestick point amendments in october -- >> sorry. [laughter] >> in october 15th, planning commission took action on the item and it was unanimously approved and staff is working with five point to complete the confirming changes to the sub phase application.
5:50 am
and i also want to note this is timely that three projects that are undergoing lottery that were issued in october and november one is 106 unit in folsom street with 12, we got 6,900 applications and 12cop holders applied. the next one is another one in mission bay 3 east and lottery was issued in november and it's a 56 unit rental housing affordable unit, 6,700 applications and 16cop holders. and there's one that is block one and trance bay lottery issued in november. this month and 156 below market rate home ownership units and we had 496 because home ownership is limited for one cop holder and i'll go through the stages of the application process and so on so this is just the same
5:51 am
