we can do as a city. i think this is officially just the one week mark as we stand here. i've talked about my own personal journey in recovery and a lot of that i think that i emphasized some of the problems that i see. i think that probably i didn't talk enough about the things that really inspired me to want to work with mayor breed. how inspired i was by the leadership that she showed around the tenderloin initiative and the leadership that she's showing on programs like this. so it's not all bad news and it's a lot of the good news and the optimism that i see and i want to be a part of and i'm so excited to be a partner on this on the board of supervisors. to the extent that this is something that you want to rave about or complain about, my door is open and i look forward to working with all of you. and thank you so much. thanks. [applause] >> thank you so much, mayor breed, and thank you supervisor really looking forward to working with you. so, as i mentioned earlier this is a really phenomenal

partnership and we're going to get to hear from some of the partners. we're going to start with allison murphy, who is with city wide, who is that housing program director at city wide. [applause] >> hi, everybody. my name is allison murphy. and i work for ucsf. [applause] i'm a social worker and a program director for city wide supportive housing programs. thank you so much for being here. it's great to see so many supporters of this project. thank you, madam mayor and supervisor dorsey. and ucsf is thrilled to continue our work here at 1321 mission and we're excited to be part of this innovative collaboration with our new partners at dish and compass, family services.

just like with all of our other supportive housing programs, our clinical services are going to be here on-site to work alongside our partners at dish and compass to support the residents of 1321 mission in stabilizing their housing and achieving whatever goals they have. we're really excited to get to work and to provide a stable and supportive community for the folks that are living here at 1321 mission. and we're thrilled to be continuing our work as a part of the terment in solutions of homelessness here in -- permanent work here in solutions in homelessness here in ucsf. and thank you for having us as a key partner in this program. and to everybody who is supporting this project. thank you so much. get to work.

>> thank you, allison. and next we'll hear from denise riggins, the property manager from dish. [applause] >> good afternoon, everyone. welcome to this beautiful celebration of supportive housing done right. everyone experiencing homelessness in san francisco deserves the dignity and a home as beautiful as this one. at dish, we are thrilled to have been selected to operate this site, and look forward to working with hsh, our resident community, ucsf city wide case management and compass family services to provide a safe and joyful and inclusive community. while dish was contracted to provide the property management services, our focus is on fostering community where residents feel safe, feel valued, and feel empowered to achieve their goals and to put homelessness behind them for good. i have also experienced

homelessness myself and had faced structural racism facing this crisis. i'm deeply proud to be here today with my dish family and all of you. the site staff are part of the backbone of the homelessness response system and our continued success is dependent upon investment, in not only beautiful new sites like this one, but also in supporting the workforce, many with lived experiences, not unlike the residents that we serve. join me in taking a moment to appreciate those who show up every day to ensure that our residents get the service and care that they need. thank you for sharing this moment with all of us. we look forward to continuing our work with the mayor and our team at hsh to ensure that all supportive housing communities can provide a solid foundation of recovery from trauma of homelessness. thank you. [applause]

>> thanks, denise, and thank you for sharing your personal story with us. that means a lot, and it really helps to bring home how important this is. so next we have mary kate bacalau from compass family services. [applause] >> thank you so much, director mcfadden for the introduction. i am the policy director at compass family services. and i feel so lucky to be standing here. our executive director erica kisch wanted so badly to be here today and she just celebrated her 20th anniversary leading the agency and she's been waiting for an opportunity like this for the 28 years that she's been serving compass family services for more than a hundred years, compass family services has been helping and supporting the most vulnerable san franciscans, whatever it takes. and today we have a continuum of care supporting at-risk and home little families, and we --

homeless families and we are so thrilled because this is our first foray into supportive permanent family housing. [applause] 1321 mission is a beautiful modern building in the heart of san francisco with something truly special. 160 units with enough bedroom capacity and community space for 40 unhoused families. that is a lot of families, that's more than a hundred people, most of them children, and we will be able to permanently break the cycle of poverty for those kids and their parents. and i cannot say enough how much that means to compass, and our partners at the city, and in our non-profit partners. when i first toured the building and actually every time that i walk into this building i'm struck with a sense of beauty and spaciousness and light. and the sense that anyone would love to live here.

and everyone who walks through that door with a key in their hand is going to know that they matter to their city. they're going to know they belong to this neighborhood and to this community, and every parent most importantly is going to lay their head down at night knowing they can give their kids the stable, happy childhood which they deserve, which is really the foundation for stable, happy lives. so i am so grateful. compass is so grateful to our partners at the city, and to all of the extremely hard work that hsh has done in partnership with the city to acquire buildings like this and to bring projects like this online and to get families inside -- people and families. so, mayor breed, thank you so much for your remarks. and supervisor dorsey, it's wonderful to have everyone here and to lift up the potential and the hopefulness in this project thank you. [applause] >> thanks, mary kate. and next we're going to hear from linda lockhart who is a current tenant at the building.

linda. [applause] >> hello, everyone. welcome. mayor, thank you so much for everything that you do. you stole my line though because i was going to say it takes a village. it really, really does. it starts with you and then goes down to people like me and when all of your hard work -- everybody's -- city wide never left my side from the day they came to my door and i was over at work -- i am sorry, i get very emotional and i'm very passionate -- your passion -- it just trickles down to someone like me who is just an emotional wreck, but in a good way. it's all positive. and it was funny, when we had a meeting and met the new management, i started crying and they were all staring at me and i said it's positive, all good. because i'm just so grateful. and it breaks my heart that someone like me have suffered

chronic homelessness because back in the 1980s, i owned my own home in sacramento, and look where i am today. but look what i am today. i went to my first giants ballgame and fell in love with san francisco when i was 9 years old and now i get to be a resident here. i'm proud to be here. soma -- i have lived here since 2012, i'll be honest, i spent most of that time at harbor light, which i love, and a lot of it absorbed into me and i will never forget those tools they learned. i have been sober two and a half years and it's funny -- [applause] a little asterisk. i'm sober but i'm not clean but i'm working on it, and i'm sure and i'm hopeful that you will have programs here that will help people like me, because

when you have it right in your building you have to go. i mean, come on, you have to go [applause] i mean, and i -- there's one thing and i will say it and i know that my sister will say this, but i didn't. i didn't go to one meeting and shame on me because when i managed to not pick up a drink that is a god thing -- just a god thing. and i worked with jason, and he's a wonderful man, and we just had such a great rapport and i'm so glad to see you here supporting me and the whole project. i want you to know that you have a lot of projects and a lot on your plate every day, but this one is successful. and i am so appreciative. and it's funny, but the camera does put on 10 pounds because you look fantastic. you do. you do, you look wonderful. and so with that, i will say thank you for everything. i love my apartment. it looks so cute.

[applause] can i go now? >> thanks, linda. that's why we left you for last, to get us all going. so -- so we're going to have -- we're going to have q&a now, so that's good timing. so we have a few minutes for questions and answers and there are a number of people in this room who can answer the questions. so hopefully you're all ready to do that. but let's open it up then. open it up to the floor. you have a question? it can wait, okay, okay.

>> [indiscernible] [question off microphone is indiscernible] >> goodness. i don't know. i'll just be honest. you know, as i said, we were able to quickly move and acquire 25 hotels that we entered into agreements with that helped to house 2,600 people. and we did that in lightning speed through project home key and our relationships with some of the hotel owners and we were able to move quickly to purchase some of those buildings without them going onto the market. and we have been working with a number of people who developed properties like this and we have 100% family housing building that we're purchasing and a number of other properties that i'm really excited about and that we have been able to move faster than i think that had we not been under an emergency declaration and as you know, we

have continued that to a certain extent but there's been some orders that we've had to lift, so as we move forward we're just going to try to do everything that we can to move full speed ahead. but, definitely, the bureaucracy does have an impact on our ability to deliver these projects faster. they also make building these projects more expensive as well so it's really tough. we in the city have acquired a number of actual properties where we know that we can build, but, unfortunately, the challenges, you know, of dealing with building housing in san francisco persists. we have over 70,000 units that have been entitled and they are not necessarily being built in rapid speed. we're trying to at least commit to 5,000 units a year that are being built here in the city and we have not yet in past couple of years reached that goal. so we're not going to give up,

we're going to keep trying, and, you know, my hope is that we are able to deliver faster and avoid the gridlock that makes it difficult to get ahold of buildings like this. thank you very much. thank you. >> so i just want to thank everyone. we have an opportunity for a tour after this and so if anyone would like to see what a room looks like, please stick around but i also want to just thank you all for coming today. this is a great day. [applause] (♪♪)

(♪♪) >> hi everybody. i am san francisco mayor london breed and i am excited to be here today. i want to thank the members of the community college board of trustees for joining us, including the president and other members. then we have the former trustee. this is a seat that we are filling today. thank you so much to john rizzo and a little who are joining us. as well as alex randolph who stormed on the community college board of trustees. we have our chancellor here.

so many wonderful people who have helped to keep this community college running the way that we know it should. i see members of atf, the union, or joining us here today as well. it has been sometime since our member had to vacate his seat to the community college board, but he and i have stayed in close contact because city college is really important to him. it's really important to everyone in the room here today. regardless of our differences of opinions, some of us, and one way or another, have been profoundly touched by the work of city college. growing up, this was the place that most of the people i went to school went. i didn't even know what college really was until i was in tenth grade and fortunately, i was able to end up at a four-year university, but i was planning to go to city college myself.

to not only prepare me to go to a four-year university, but to prepare me for life so i could be ready for any opportunity that came my way. when i became the executive director of the african-american art and culture complex we had so many young people who were in high school, we didn't know what to do, what they were going to do with their lives. we had young people who were over the age of 18 and had dropped out of high school. at the african-american art and culture complex we spent so much time helping people registered for the ged classes at john adams campus. some of them had gone on to not only be part of city college, but to play sports in city college. my brother got his aa degree from city college of san francisco. so many of us have some new stories like that. we know this is an important higher learning education institution in our city and we know how people feel about it. they love city college. they want us to work together to

ensure the longevity of city college, and that's why making a decision like this to appoint a member of the board of trustees is a very challenging one. blending all the needs of what needs to occur was really important to me. so i am really pleased today. i'm actually over the moon excited today to announce that i have selected morel green to serve as the next member of the community college board of trustees. [applause] i have known him, but because he was part of the community i grew up in, and you just know people. you know them from school, you know them from hanging out at the cultural center, you just know them. there was always something very special about him because ultimately, what i appreciated about him was he was genuinely

always a good person. he always made himself available to be supportive of people. despite the fact that he went to washington high school, i don't really hold that against him. we have our friendly rivalries, but at the end of the day, we care about our community. we care about the city, we care about seeing opportunities exist for people like the ones we grew up with in our community. so that is where he -- that is where his drive comes from. it comes from growing up in a community and seeing so many african-american men lose their lives, get lost to drugs and to criminal justice system, and i know, in his heart of hearts, he wants black men like him to grow up being the norm and not the exception. he has spent his entire life working towards that goal. back in the day he worked for me

at the african-american art and culture complex. i was probably his favorite boss of everybody. and what i appreciated about him was his patience, his drive,'s understanding, and how he worked with the young men of the cultural center and how he helps them to think outside of just their environment and what could be possible. they had a lot of respect for him. they said what is college? went to college? you went to clark atlanta university? what is all that about? the conversation he was able to have with them and how he got omega boys club, which he participated in and now serves as a board member, how he got them to be more actively engaged in the work that we were doing. so he has worked at so many colleges, mostly spending a lot of his time helping people with their essays, helping them with applications, helping them and guiding them to pursue whatever their wildest dreams are and really being a mentor, the big brother, a friend, and advisor,

when you think about it, it was, you know, hard to find people who would even take the time to meet with you and talk to you about those things. but he wasn't just sitting around and waiting for someone to talk to him. he took a lot of initiative to work with our kids, to talk to them, to encourage them, to hold them accountable as well, but more importantly, to demonstrate that he was here for them. and that was a big deal. and his entire career and working at places like city college, working at places like skyline college, like milk college, just in the bay area, working in los angeles while his wife was doing her residency, he was a supportive husband. i know he is so proud of that. working in los angeles at that community college and coming back here to work at west valley, you know, everything that he has done, and all these various capacities in all these community colleges all over the

state of california have centred around supporting, helping, uplifting students to ensure their success. so when the opportunity presented itself and i found out that he was back in san francisco, his hometown where he grew up, i couldn't think of anyone better to serve in this capacity then someone i admire, i respect, i trust wholeheartedly. no one more so than him. i want to swear him in at this time. you guys can get excited about that. [ cheers and applause ] are you ready to see your daddy sworn in? do you want to stand by him? you need to hold him -- hold his hand on the other side while he raises his hand. there you go. are you going to help them too? all right. here we go. please raise your right hand and repeat after me.

i merella green do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states and the constitution of the state of california against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that i bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that i take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation, or purpose of evasion, and that i will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which i am about to enter, and during such time as i serve as member of the board of trustees for city college of the

city and county of san francisco. >> congratulations. [applause] >> it is of traditional african culture that i requested, and i was given permission to address you by my elder, who is my father-in-law. i would like to begin with a moment of silence for both our african-american and taiwanese brothers and sisters who were murdered and others physically and emotionally wounded by the senseless violence in both buffalo new york -- buffalo, new york and southern california.

thank you. i greet you today in a moment of amazement. this is a celebration and i want to acknowledge and honor your presence in time. i won't be long. to the honorable mayor, i thank you for this appointment to the board of trustees of city college of san francisco. to our honorable dignitaries, of both the city and county of san francisco, and specifically the illustrious city college of san francisco, i'm honored to become part of it collective group that takes the time out of our already busy lives to provide service to others. to my lovely wife, dr. janelle greene and my children, corinthian and providence, i thank you for allowing me to share myself with the community and the residents of our home town. not your hometown, my home

town. additionally, to my family and friends, both here physically and in the spirit, thank you for your continued support throughout my life. 's graduation season so this is important. let s. be genuine and thoughtful to the class of 2022 as we see them parade around the city in delight this season. i was fortunate enough to attend my first graduation at the age of four years old. it was in a purple graduation hat made out of construction paper and glue, along with my favorite red and white hawaiian shirt that i graduated from the preschool program at city college of san francisco in 1981. [applause] it was because programs like this that allow my mother to complete her credentials to become a head start teacher and wally don't remember much about the ceremony, i often look at the photos that were taken and

think about how that moment played a pivotal role in my pursuit of education. throughout my time in the san francisco unified school district, and my apologies, madame breed, clearly the greatest high school in the city, george washington high school, i always knew that higher education was an option in my pursuit to becoming a productive member of this society and that is why i am here today. i am someone who is dedicated to the advancement of higher education for all people. to be born and raised in this city and to still be her as a resident is a rarity within itself. i feel that it is my calling to assist those in which i pride myself in my area of expertise, which is educational leadership and management. with a concentration in higher education. what i promise you today is simple. i promise my attention, dedication, persistence, and

advocacy for all students at city college of san francisco. i hope that i have your support, your trust, and your assistance as we all fully understand that it takes a village to raise our children and teach our adults. please know that i take this mayoral appointment seriously, as i understand that this opportunity allows me to further assist in life transformations that not only affect students, but their families, neighborhoods, and our city and county as a whole. with that, i shall close by saying thank you. go warriors, tonight, and go rams forever. [applause]
