what it needs to do a needs assessment. this is very variety to our city at this time because of what is happening. with the homelessness, not only with the drugs, but even with the fireworks. you can be a commission and just think that you know, you're going to be involved with policy making and running your mouth on mundane issue while the citizens of san francisco, are suffering because the quality of issues have gone to the hogs. the citizens but we need to do this on a raw footing. and that is where the military comes, not the military per se, but who has commanders, we need

a commander who can do who can lead the emergency services. and work with the commissioners, not all of you but some of you all, so you really know how to run a first class city. today this is not a first class city. because people from all over the world are writing to me about it, thank you very much. >> thank you, caller. >> good evening, caller, you have two minutes. >> hello my name is cindy guzman i'm coordinateeter for the relations, i'm calling on the police commission to consider a proposed ordinance brought by a commissioner carter overstone who was

introduced back in february and community groups are overwhelmingly. still has not yet. we want the commission to recognize the urgency of this. you know the fact that there are racial disparity in stops by police, the fact that if you only have 5% of the population in san francisco, the african-american about 27% out of the stops are of african-american that there is racial bias associated with these types of stops. and you know, we can also see that when we have these types of stops, that increases the chance of potential violence, on community members.

shots to the body and, you know, and this was as a result, you can see that the community is very much concerned about that. and one of the things that we have a sizable community located in san francisco, one of the reasons for pretext stops could be if you have to continue from the rear view mirrors and a lot of them have. like clearviews, hanging from their rear view mirrors, but it has been used as a course stopping form to the community members. including one of my close friends that that has happened to. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller, you have two minutes. >> hello my name is david, i'm a resident of district 1. the following is a quote from our founder if he--felicia

zones, i'm going to call it what it is, anti blackness in terms of racial profiling. i've grown tired of talking to commission and to the board of supervisors, what is the urgency? if the tables were turned, i know there would be an urgency, when are you going to address the hare much and unjust statistics which is your responsibility as you took an oath to uphold the law for all san franciscoians, i'm tired, not tired of to quit but tired of beating a dead horse. we sought help from attorney general. in quote, we understand the low level traffic stops which was just discussed by the brief color starting to be discussed among officials and take flight nationwide.

often disparity has been demanding via traffic stops for months. the black san franciscoian is three times as likely to be stropd for traffic stop. this is one of the worse black statistics anywhere. since the reform, the racial disparity level has gotten worse. routine traffic stops make up a large majority about two-thirds of stops. proven that they stop black people disproportionately and arrest black people even more disproportionately. it's long time to take them off their hands. would also like to understand how all matters related along the elimination as we have requested. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes.

>> speaker: good evening, it's chairperson and members of the commission. this is the amos brown, president of the san francisco aacp and baptist church of san francisco. i just talked as a pastor and civil rights advocacy, to pledge my support for holistic approach to the problem of crime and homelessness in the city. san francisco must be delivered from simpletic and realize that it takes all hands-on deck, loving mercy and welcome with their principals of their god. we can be better than who we are now. or we're too busy pointing fingers at the chief and at the

commission. this needs to be a weighsing and if we don't know how to work together as dr. king said we're all going to perish as fools. in black community, we have over our share of lawlessness, that's because of a lack of opportunity for the most part but in addition to that, we need to be firm about policing and professional and being compassionate in our communities to do the same in all other communities. we must work together if we're going to save the city and give o our report that he deserves considering the high professionalism that he has given us in this city.

>> good evening, chief, i'm avi fry. i'm here representing the aclu of northern california as a deputy director of criminal justice program and as a resident that it san francisco living in the mission district. i'm also calling to address what seems to delay in implementing stops in san francisco. on behalf of thousands of aclu khafter members in the city, we have worked tirelessly in community with other organizations and groups and it's been over a year since, an understanding was presented to the commission. it's been months since commissioner over stone

presented the idea. the community is waiting to get this process under way. there is no safety justification for continuing for stops and in the meantime, the delay is resulting in real harms. it's resulting in the hafsh to the community. and into violence and even death. and so on behalf of oufr members and our organizations, i ask for a greater sense of urgency in getting this off the ground before tragedy strikes again, thank you so much. >> thank you, caller. >> good evening, caller, you have two minutes.

>> speaker: good evening, commissioners, this is from the public defender's office, i have the callers call for urgency beginning the general order. that commission introduced two months ago. we still have weeks and months of working groups and town halls ahead of us, so it's dis heartening to see that we're not months away. but we do have a practical issue that i want to point out that i think the commission wants to claim quickly. seems to have disappeared from the commission website possibly because of the redesign. i'm asking that if you can make those public again so we can see the point coming from the community. thank you. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes.

>> leslie senior, glide is proud member of the community driven coalition to end by stops which now representatives over 60 local organizations who are united in our goal of pretech stops. some of my colleagues have called in this evening as well. i appreciate you prioritizing the addition. and we're hoping that it does proceed in a timely manner. this discussion has been formerly initialed, however we have yet to know about when the working groups will convene. i last asked the body on june 8th. we're looking to having a clear timeline and that includes a tentative list of dates and simultaneous town hall and a working group that incorporates the voices of community stakeholders and people who are impacted. because these racial disparity as said a couple of times this

evening, they're persistent right now and the need to move quickly is doubly reinforced by san francisco ranks the worse in the state when it comes to black rates. so we should proceed aggressively and no approach to addressing these harms. and i ask that we initial these process soon, thank you. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes. >> good evening, this is proun, kurning my son who was murdered august 13th, 2006. to this day, he has his case has not been solved. and as a moerlt i'm still looking for justice for my son. cause is coming up right around

the corner. and i'm still looking for justice and helping other mothers and fathers who lost their children to homicide. as i call in for justice, and hoping that the police commission can expedite or do something for unsolved homicide. and with that, i thank you for listening to me. >> thank you, ms. brown. members of the public if you have any information on the murder of abry ana costa, you can call the hotline. thank you. >> thank you, very much next line please. >> line item 2, adoption of

as far as property crime we are up a total of 7% over this time last year, 22372 property crimes compared to to 951. the good news is we're down burglar's 25%. that's 29,015 compared to 29086. our biggest driver is lars re. lars reis up 16,2 19. included in that category with auto burglars which we're up 8% from this time last year. 10001, compared to 9264. although we have made some progress in reducing that percentage over the last couple of months which we're going to continue to do what we can to

drive that number down. in terms of our violent crime ,z our gun violence is down from last year, 121 incident last year, 103 total incident this year, difference of 15% decrease. come sides with firearms are down by 3. 17 this year compared to last year. and our non fatal shooting victims are down from 101 to 86 this year. homicide clearance rate is around 64%. year to date we did make a homicide arrest this week that i'll talk about shortly. in terms of the station break down the significant data is mission station leads the increase in homicides, they have 8 compared to 2 this time last year. they view as a decrease fromle

this time last year to 4. northern is down by 1 from this time last year, park is down by 1, remains at 0. terwell is up 2 nr 020 to* 2. and tender lauren is down from 3, from 6 last year to 3 this year. as far as our guns, we have ceased a total of 5 19 total guns this year. and of that, 217 are ghost guns, 91 of ghost guns. that's about. significant incident over this last reporting period, we did have two homicides for the weekend ending 3. one is 400 block of arrest there has not been a arrest.

the victim was in the street unresponsive as officers arrived they conducted life saving efforts which were unsuccessful. the victim died in the hospital from his injuriesment many heard gunshots and we are canvassed the area for private civilian cameras and we do have some information that we obtained on this case to follow-up. i'll give updates as this case progresses. the second homicide was on june 1 in the day view district at third street and khafter. the victim was lying on the ground next to him. initial statement by the vehicles prior to being identified. our video review from evidence that we collected showed that the victim was at a pizza

parlor when he got into an argument with this unknown person. the person that's been identified and arrested actually, was arrested the next day. and this was some really good work by our investigators who because they know the area, know the people in the area were able to actually put this case together very quickly and arrest the suspect for murder. so that was really good work by the investigators and the patrol officers in the case. the couple of shooters that happened in july fourth, 9:59 there was a shooting. she was struck by a bullet. no suspects were seen and no

arrest were made. that is under investigation. victim was a street performer was on the sidewalk when unshown suspect shattered on the foot. we do have follow-up information that we're looking into and hopefully we'll make progress in that case. shooting in the fourth, was in the 200 block of rich in the southern subject. a subject and asked to use the restroom when he was refused by the employees an argument ensued and subject left restaurant. a restaurant employee followed the subject and followed him in the street at which time a fight took place, the restaurant being shot. and wounded. the injuries are not life threatening and that case is still under investigation. no arrest has been made in this arrest. couple of significant arrest, on july 1, victim security

guard on walgreens was stabbed after admonishing a suspect fortress passing in that store. the victim attempted to place the subject under the arrest. the suspect took out a knife and stabbed the victim several times. while officers were drafting a warrant, the person left his approximately and taken the custody. le and after the arrest for vandalizing pd vehicle. the victim is in stable condition and expected to survive the incident. and series of organized retail thefts. this happened over the past few months and several of them

resulted throughout the area being burglarized. police are leading investigating agencies on june 18th, an american while driving the vehicles. and multiple counts for burglary and robbery and warrants out of brentwood and san francisco. the state attorney general office has expressed rate and our investigators will cult with our district attorney as well as other interested agencies and the state in this series of arrest. the very significant, we golt a number of these in the city and

these were prolific suspects, those were burglar details. couple of some of the strategies, we've had an increase and shots fired in the day view and as a result we adjusted our deployment over this fourth of july holiday weekend. we increased our third corridor and increased our presence with tick post and some of the housing development in the district where we've had multiple shots fired. we plan to make adjustments as necessary. also in the ingle side additional resources were deployed. there were three incidents, the station participated in ten

community event including merchant laws, meeting with community groups and planning for out coming community and police colob rated events and also to address concerns which is corridor which is a part of this policing plant for this year. so we hope that those strategies will do the couple of things and address the concerns meeting with members of the community. last thing on the investigative side is our driving. unfortunately we had no side shows over this holiday weekend. i do want to report progress with really good work being done. that's under the special operations bureau and really in collaboration with the district stations who always get resources to these events and we know about them, when we

think that they're coming. this is resulted in approximately 40 vehicles that have been seized as a result of follow-up investigation. and i want to reemphasize if you come to san francisco and participate in these events, even if you're not caught, we will not give up on pursuing you to be held accountable for the danger of these events. with that, our follow-up investigators have done some really good work and approximately 40 cars have been seized. and that has resulted i think in us having some success and driving the side showdown in our city. so we'll continue to work on that. and last thing to report in terms of significant incident, there is a west of angel island. this happened on the 30th of

june. our boat collided with the sale boat, the victim did not survive the injuries. the marine union was part of that and we were not able to save this person. and that is that is it for my report for this week, thank you. >> thank you, chief. i'm going to turn it over to my fellow commissioners, i don't see any questions or comments. commissioner ye. >> yes, i just want to talk about the graduating class, i want to thank for representing us in the graduation class. also i want to thank the chief and her staff for i guess,

security, we will lose the walgreen. this walgreen helps seniors with their medication and what we are doing is we lying on the board of supervisors. i heard a joke, it's a serious joke. they say that only the wal green shows receipts of over 100,000 in all loss of things stolen than they can have the wallgreen. this is ridiculous. the walgreen in san bruno now caters. are we going to wait until the

wal green on san brun o closes? i have over 100 complaints about it. we have some offices, like office of percy, because it goes beyond the call of duty to do a good job. but we can do better. and chief of scott knows about san bruno. i accompanied him, he visited a few stores, we do business, we up lifted one another. i'm asking they contribute to the city. save the wallgreen on san bruno and felton. thank you very much. >> thank you, caller. sxao

and we have 20 cases who's investigations have extended beyond a 9-month period. this time last year, we had 28 case that's had gone that far. of those 20 cases continued open, 15 of those case right side told. we have commission has 12 pending cases and decision wz dpa and there is one case that is still pending with the chief. in terms of the weekly trend, we have not met in a while so this is a three-week summary. in the past three weeks, we received just 26 cases. and top allegations are 36% of allegations have been with allegations failing to take the required action. most of those are for allegations wanting a police report.

and 14% are for alleging sfrd behaved or spoke inappropriately to the public. if you want the complete list they're on the website. in terms of the district break down, i just tried to talk about the top districts that have come in and those would be in terms of allegations that have come to dpa and the top district is, mission and again the allegations are concentrated around officers taking failing to take required action and making an appropriate comment. and that's a new search permission when which reported three weeks ago, there was only allegation that came out of mission, there were five this time. the largest second agency was

outside of the police jurisdiction, one of the new things that we're doing is making sure that when people call, we're making referrals to the appropriate agencies. so it's frequently the case that people will come in and/or call into the office with complaints about ice or dea or other jurisdictions with information and my staff is trained and we make referrals and that's the second largest allegation that came in and referrals were made by our office. 64 cases were received in april.

and in may 59 cased received. there were a total of 109 allegations and total 120 allegations made by the public in april. in terms of the audit, the 22, we held an opening meeting with sspd to initial the annual of compliant with a-coin 8-10. and i'll continue to give you updates with those but we started those meetings last month. in terms of out reach, we had a no your rights presentation at the family youth and family system of care providers. the attendees developed a presentation to better integrate families with systems to develop planning and implementation of city services.

process is on going, we recognize the need for urgency and are moving often and continue to thank the public for their comments on that. i also wanted to as a commissioner ye shared, that the commission spoke at class 275 graduation class. 6 were bilingual it was great to welcome them and to get to meet some of the cadets at that event. as director henderson noted, i also attended a event hosted for the first time in-person since covid. i was able to ex speak to the mediator, things were very happy to learn that the commission was represented there.

and members mediation program is really a world class restorive program that provides a great way to resolve some of the disputes brought to dba, i think after--we'll work to agendize, because i think it is, it is underappreciated in a tremendous program that the dba can get. so thank you to all the mediator and to the department for the officers who agreed to participate in the program as well. and that's all for me. >> can i just say, thank you so much for participating and attending commissioner. the mediation folks and mediators themselves they pay

attention to police commission and it's a big deal that you came and did the walk through and answer their questions. they know who all of you are. and they pay attention to the issues that culminate in the cases here. so i appreciate that you came, but i will probably be inviting you and the others to come back in the future as well. it was one of the things that was important to them, so thank you again. >> thank you, thank you, director henderson. also as updated position regarding the group and listening sessions will be provided on the commission website. we encourage people to continue to email us with the comments and suggestions. we receive information from the department.

and this had been tied to the millions of dollars that has been given to organizations to stop hate crime, the portion of that can be utilized for restorive justice. so i would like to thank paul henderson, i would like to see him smile a little bit. i think he's a wise president who made some good comments. i appreciate what y'all do, but i have to run the boat because i've got too many people who ask me francisco do this and do that, and i say come on man, i cannot work miracles. all i can do is say something but i'm not even saying something to doing more. thank you very much.

[♪♪] the tenderloin is home to families, immigrants, seniors, merchants, workers, and the housed and unhoused who all deserve a thriving neighborhood to call home. the tenderloin emergency initiative was launched to improve safety, reduce crime, connect people to services, and increase investments in the neighborhood. >> the department of homelessness and supportive housing is responsible for providing resources to people living on the streets. we can do assessments on the streets to see what people are eligible for as far as permanent housing. we also link people with shelter that's available. it could be congregate shelter, the navigation center, the homeless outreach team links those people with those resources and the tenderloin

needs that more than anywhere else in the city. >> they're staffing a variety of our street teams, our street crisis response team, our street overdose response team, and our newly launched wellness response team. we have received feedback from community members, from residents, community organizations that we need an extra level and an extra level of impact and more impactful care to serve this community's needs and that's what the fire department and the community's paramedics are bringing today to this issue. >> the staff at san francisco community health center has really taken up the initiative of providing a community-based outreach for the neighborhood. so we're out there at this point monday through saturday letting residents know this is a service they can access really just describing the service, you know, the shower, the laundry, the food, all the different resources and referrals that can be made and really just providing the neighborhood with a face, this

is something that we've seen work and something you can trust. >> together, city and community-based teams work daily to connect people to services, >> good morning everyone. [speaking spanish] act one, scene two. thank you so much, eric. i'm the ceo of tndc. it's great to be here with you to celebrate this ground breaking of 70 affordable homeses at 180 jones. today is a milestone for the tenderloin and for the community that came out to celebrate with us today. we're here because of the power of the community and the community voice. in the tenderloin for the last

40 years in this neighborhood developing, advocating and in community with all the residents, families, children, and individuals that call this place home. in particular, we have a tremendous amount of activism and a tremendous amount of core families and children that really highlight our day and as you can see on this bright, sunny day, they really propel us forward to continue doing our work. and in community and in neighborhoods, we advocate for strong community and really represent the needs of all the families in this vibrant place. years ago, activists came together, several of which are here today. i've seen you, i see you, and the idea was to really look at this small lot and see what and imagine what type of housing and what type of services we can provide the community.

luckily it was purchased and preserved for affordable housing. it's very important because the tenderloin many times gets a bad wrap. it's understandable. communities and people are facing challenges and barriers to housing. we all know it. we all feel it. in many families, lack access to quality food and mental illness programs. but this is how a community comes together to address those challenges and strive through inspiration. and this is what makes me really proud to be with community as we celebrate occasions like today. more importantly, 180 jones is a reminder that community driven solutions work and they benefit all of us.

thank you, eric. because of the activism in the tenderloin community, we're going to be moving some dirt today and we're going to begin the construction process to celebrate the 70 homes for individuals and 35 of which are for people who are formerly unhoused. that's very important. and, with all good projects, this work is never done alone, it's done in partnership. i'd like to thank mayor london breed, eric shaw, and the mayor's office of housing and community development and this whole entire team which is here today. thank you. supervisor dean preston, please join us. [applause] former supervisor matt haney and jane kim who were pivotal

in this work because of the year long -- years of work that took for us to be here today. the california department of housing and community development and their huge support in this being one of the first projects using housing accelerator funds. silicon valley bank. kay hill contractors. [applause] architects vanmeter williams bullock. [applause] waypoint consulting california housing partnership. tndc staff. [cheers and applause] and, really, the countless others that have been in partnership with us to make today a success. thank you all for joining us. it is sunny. let's smile. i know have the privilege and honor to introduce supervisor

dean preston. [applause] >> supervisor preston: thank you. thanks so much. wonderful to be here with you all and really thrilled just to be here as part of this ground breaking ceremony for the 70 new affordable homes that will be built on this site, on this site that's in the newest part of my district. for those not paying attention, as of a month ago, i'm pleased to report that the tenderloin is now part of district five and it's thrilling to be here with you and representing the tenderloin today in city hall. i know there are a lot of folks and you've mentioned so many of them who came together to make this possible knew that i could name them all. i think you've done a good job of hitting on all of them. but i do want to remark on many of the community folks who

helped push so hard over the years to make this happen. and i will say in my first few weeks representing the tenderloin as my staff and i have done extensive outreach and had over a hundred meetings with community leaders, we have really been struck by the incredible level of community organizing here in the tenderloin. and what we see time and again as we meet with folks and learn about their work is that incredible love and commitment for this neighborhood and i think the project that we are here celebrating today is a product of that neighborhood commitment. it's made possible by an extended community benefits and negotiation related to another project in the neighborhood and for over a year, the 950 market street coalition led by

nonprofit leaders and community advocates fought for in one significant community benefits for the neighborhood including the funds to purchase and develop the vacant land here at 180 jones as well as seed money that would go on to facilitate the creation of the nation's only transgender cultural district. so i want to sincerely thank the community leaders who made this possible and that includes the many talented staff at tenderloin neighborhood development center, as well as the central city s.r.o. collaborative. it includes tenderloin residents too long a list to name them all, but david elliott lewis who i see with us today. it includes honey mahogany from the transgender cultural district.

and i also really want to thank the prior district six supervisors jane kim and matt haney for their leadership and their support of this project as well as the mayor's office, director shaw, and the mayor and their team for bringing this to fruition. so it is thrilling to be here today. i know you have many speakers so i won't go on, but i will ask you to join me in welcoming jacob goldstein, tndc project manager to speak now. welcome, jacob. >> good morning. thank you. thank you so much for joining on site today. my name is jacob goldstein and i'm a project manager on tndc's housing development team. i've had the honor of leading 180 jones for the last three years. it's been a long road responding to the city's initial request to develop this parcel of land to today's

ground breaking event. even in an industry known for complexity, 180 jones has had a unique set of challenges. fitting 70 homes on such a compact site has not been easy and i think 180 sgroens has had about as many financing plans as people gathered on site today. that said, for all of these challenges, 180 jones is also an example of incredible state and local investment in affordable housing. we were able to take advantage of the streamlined approval process under senate bill 35 as well as the state density bonus law to maximize the size and lay out of the building. 180 jones is funding through the california's new housing accelerator program and we're thrilled to be one of the first accelerator projects to break ground. [applause] on a personal level, standing here today is a real full circle moment. when i first moved to san

francisco in 2010, one of the very first bars i went to was none other than aunt charlie's. that first visit to aunt charlie's showed me there's so much more to the tenderloin than what you might read in a headline. it's a place of strength and diversity, of queerness. this was the block of the cafeteria riot in 1966 and today it is the site of the world's first transgender cultural district. [applause] this is the neighborhood that 180 jones will be part of and i can't wait to see the site transformed into 70 homes where residents will be able to thrive. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, jacob. i would now like to introduce monica hernandez, deputy director for housing community

development. >> thank you. hi everyone. i love to see all these smiling faces. on behalf of governor gavin newsome and the california department of housing and community development, it's my pleasure to congratulate all of you and be here in celebration. this is a momentous occasion. it's mott just historic. it is a testament to the city of san francisco. leaders across san francisco. tndc, the mayor's office, to it all of you and a testament to the love for this community. and, it's a testament to partnership. partnership with city and state and the california housing accelerator which jacob mentioned. i'm going to tell you a little bit about that. we have been facing four decades of housing crisis and we were looking at about $3 billion of backlog in permit and shovel ready projects just sitting there that would have left projects like 180 jones in

limbo. gavin newsome responding to our urgent need of $1.5 billion. and last september, we released our application process and developers up and down the state responded and we went from permit and approval to award in just 60 days. that is unprecedented. [applause] and, in february, we announced the first tier of 27 projects about $900 million in awards and today we are at number two ground breaking. just two out of 27 have broken ground in such a short amount of time. so congratulations again on that. all of us working together with the shared sense of urgency is what brings us here today. projects like 180 jones are

complex. we heard about how difficult it is to get 70 units on a smaller parcel, but it also takes creativity and funding. there's about almost $24 million in funding from the housing accelerator. another $15 million from acd's multi-family housing fund. and approximately $30 million from the mayor's office of housing and community development. [applause] as we're gathered here in the heart of the tenderloin, we are celebrating community, compassion, and collaboration. we're standing on opportunity. opportunity for residents here to not just survive but to have a place to grow and thrive. this project is ideally designed in a transit oriented area creating climate-friendly housing that benefits not just the residents, but the community at large and the planet. we look forward to holding this up as an example across the state of what beautiful,

quality, affordable housing can and should look like. so thank you again. congratulations and please invite us back for the ribbon cutting. thank you so much. [applause] >> thank you monica. i would now like to introduce katie fischer, director of community development and finance at s.v.b. [applause] >> thank you very much. good morning. my name is katie fischer and i have the pleasure of representing silicon valley bank this morning. i want to give you some numbers to honor the challenge that we're up against here. about 12% of the country lives in california. however, 28% of all people experiencing homelessness live in california. 31% of all homeless veterans in the country live in california.

36% of the national population of unaccompanied homeless children live in california. as many here now, the definition of homelessness is varied and it often includes individuals with temporary shelter. california accounts for more than half of all unsheltered people in the country. that's nearly nine times the number of unsheltered people in the next state, texas. i want to honor the connection between mental illness and homelessness. mental illness proceeds homelessness. and tndc has an award-winning phenomenal services arm that offers outreach, advocacy, conflict, resolution, addiction, reduction, harm reduction, translation -- [applause] it's a critical element in the housing first plan and it's the only way to sustain long term permanent supportive housing. this will have one full-time social worker and a second

full-time worker. one other thing in terms of numbers, studies show it costs about 100,000 people anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 to take care of somebody who's homeless. think of emts, police. it cost about $52,000 to permanently house this person per year. so it's about half the cost. when you add in resident services, this project will cost about $56,000 a year compared to $100,000. so it's quite cost effective to do this. as the bank of innovation, i want to applaud the accelerator program. it came out of a number of projects not receiving a tax allocation which have become further and farther in between from receiving. also, san francisco's a loss for local operating subsidy programs. starting in 2008, since then it has supported 1600 housing units with an additional 1200 in the works.

that's a critical subsidy i want to pause in honor. senate bill 35 was opposed by two east bay cities that i won't name, but it is the key to getting a lot of affordable housing, including this one. thank you tndc. thank you, jacob, lex, phenomenal project managers. honey, i see you. and meg mcgrau, may not be here, but the financial consultants are the huge projects and the glue that makes it happen. so thank you very much. >> thank you, katie. and, i'd like to introduce our very own curtis bradford. >> thanks, boss. i've been wanting to say that for a while. my name is curtis bradford and i'm co-chair of the tenderloin peoples congress and long time resident for over 15 years.

i'm really excited about today because this is a long time coming. i was really fortunate to be part of a volunteer as a resident leader with a group called 950 market street coalition. it was a group of residents that came together folks like david and cathy over here and steve and felicia and awesome gale seagraves and steve and others along with support from folks like rio and pertiba and alexandra from s.r.o. collaborative. with their support, us residents were able to enter into negotiations with 950 market street, the big development one block down here at the corner of turk and taylor and really worked on developing a benefits agreement that worked for the community. remember an entire block of the tenderloin of the community. full of rich history for our neighborhood. and we wanted to make sure the community got something in return for that loss. and the building of below

market rate budget rate condos in the tenderloin wasn't going to house anybody from our community and we knew that. and so we wanted to find a way to ensure that this project would actually build housing that works for our folks. and so that's where this came from and this is the result of that effort and that negotiation. and so i am so excited to see this actually happening. and, it's proof that when you empower residents, you empower community and you give them agency in their own lives, great things can happen. [applause] so we'll have 70 units right here for our community and i cannot wait until that day and i'm going to be excited for the ribbon cutting as well and i have to thank the mayor's office and the folks from the state and the bank and tndc's amazing staff and for all the work that it took since we signed that community benefit agreement because a lot of work has happened since then in

order to break ground here today. and i want to thank them for making a resident-led vision come to reality. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, curtis. now, i would like to introduce eric shaw. director shaw. please. [applause] >> good morning. my name is eric shaw, i'm the director of the san francisco mayor's office for housing and community development. i am happy and excited to speak on behalf of mayor breed. she is here in spirit. she is my boss. she is a visionary. and she has a deep commitment to making sure that we are creating affordable housing forrern and not just housing, but homes for people. i remember her walking through one of our projects. we were so excited about the unit count and the

affordability. and she goes, we're the linen closet. how is someone going to grow up here how is someone going to be able to lounge and enjoy themselves? we really are thinking about the idea of creating homes and running it within community. and so i know that in particular right now, the community of tenderloin, i want to thank them right now. i know that the office of community development part of the mayor's office of housing community development invests hundreds of millions of dollars to this community and to community organizing and to tenant protections and to really supporting lifting up, leveraging the community voice and putting the resources to realize the community vision and this project, 180 jones is the example of that. so i just want to applaud the community and the residents for really making this happen. also, we know this is actually bigger than housing in terms of

the needs of this community and i was just on the call, my fellow department directors from the office of homelessness and supportive housing to manage the safe sleeping site here. with the police chief, with the fire chief, with the office of planning and so i just really want to recognize it does take a whole infrastructure of very committed people that just mobilize both their expertise, their staff, and their resources to really bring together the mayor's vision to create safe, affordable homes for people. [applause] and, with that too, we also understand there are stages. so the mayor's plan focuses on safe sleeping sites. i want to focus on keeping us safe during covid and realize housing was one of the things to advance public health and safety at that moment.

but we can't stop at giving people safe sleeping sites, but make sure we have a continuum of opportunity for people to live and to thrive. so from safe sleeping to the services being needed to housing built to hopefully home ownership which we're investing in as well as our office. and finally on the city side, i just want to pat ourselves on the back a little bit. i just really want to recognize julia sabori and the team. i'm really excited we have pusheded over the past two years to integrate housing home ownership and the cultural district program together to make sure we're being responsive to the particular needs of the transgender community making sure that we're investing. we just invested $1 million in universal basic income for black transwomen this year. and really making sure that the systemic barriers that have impeded people being able to thrive and one of the most resource and abundant cities in

the country that we are getting the most resources where people need it most to really make sure that they are -- they feel like they're san franciscans and they feel loved in san francisco and they can thrive in san francisco. with that, i do also want to thank the state for the housing accelerator fund and i think monica knows this. it's pretty expensive to build in san francisco and there are a lot of cities that are catching up with san francisco around the idea of affordable housing. and so i really want to thank the leadership of h.c.d., monica, are gustavo, secretary castro ramirez, and the governor for allocating the funding for the accelerator program and it is imperative that we have state support and

programs like the accelerator program to get our projects built. so the mayor is at sacramento as much as possible talking with secretary -- with governor newsome, not secretary to make sure san francisco has the resources to vote to tax themselves. and, with that, i also want to thank them, but i'm going to ask for more. can we all ask the state for more? >> as you should. >> all right. and so, with that, we have four projects that are going to be breaking ground. we have eleven ground breakings this year with the support of the accelerator fund. i'm excited for that and finally, once again, i want to thank my friend and colleague morillio. we've been joking about that. but it's so amazing to have strong leadership. i want to thank don folk for his vision as well. and the team and my team. i want to thank the banks

because they help fund things. i want to thank the community once again and, jacob talked about this as a project manager. you know, the buck literally stops with them. the decisions that are made, the coordination and the stress, the community engagement and so i just really want to thank our project managers as well on this. on behalf of mayor breed. on behalf of my fellow directors, on behalf of our time i want to thank you so much and i'm excited to turn over some dirt. >> thank you, eric. and i see that this crowd and this community loves the shade. so, with that in mind, i just welcome you to -- we're going to move some dirt and get a few photo-ops. if you want to move dirt for you, you can. after we do the first photo. you're more than welcome to wear a hard hat and pick up a shovel. so thank you so much for coming out. we really appreciate it and we really appreciate the shade. thank you.

>> on the count of three, one, two, three. [cheers and applause] >> i'm sergeant and i'm a transmale. >> i'm an out gay man. >> we're married. >> i knew i was gay when i was 16 years old. >> i was probably in elementary school that i knew i was different. >> i had that fear that my parents would accept me. >> it wasn't as accepted as it is now. >> i was in the navy don't ask don't tell. >> i was in high school and i would have other students come

up to me and say pretty awful things. >> it was hard because it was trying to cross that bridge of religion for my family. >> it took almost ten years to be exactly who i wanteded to be. >> we met 0 work. >> we got married in mexico. >> we wore two dresses. >> we have my 9-year-old boy and 3-year-old twins. >> here we go. [applause] >> i along with our lgbtq public safety officials will be marching in pride this year. >> it's going to be very symbolic. >> it's a celebration of what our family is. there's a lot of pride with this uniform. >> one of the reasons i initially got into law enforcement was the representation that i wanted to be for other people.

>> you know, we're all on the same side at the end of the day. >> i've marched 205 years in the parade. >> i feel like this department has been able to creatively save space for somebody like me. >> a lot of departments across america, it would be a different story. >> it's really great to be a member of this lgbtq community and to see the pride and love that comeses with it. >> love is love. >> in august 2019 construction began on the new facility at 1995 evans avenue in bayview. it will house motorcycle police and department of forensic services division. both sfpd groups are in two buildings that need to be vacated. they will join the new

$183 million facility in late 2021. >> elements of the cfi and the traffic company are housed at the hall of justice, which has been determined to be seismically unfit. it is slated for demolition. in addition to that the forensic services crime lab is also slated for demolition. it was time and made sense to put these elements currently spread in different parts of the city together into a new facility. >> the project is located in the bayview area, in the area near estes creek. when san francisco was first formed and the streetcars were built back it was part of the bay. we had to move the building as close to the edge as possible on bedrock and solid elements piles down to make sure it was secure. >> it will be approximately

100,000 square feet, that includes 8,000 square feet for traffic company parking garage. >> the reason we needed too new building, this is inadequate for the current staffing needs and also our motor department. the officers need more room, secured parking. so the csi unit location is at the hall of justice, and the crime laboratory is located at building 60 sixty old hunters point shipyard. >> not co-located doesn't allow for easy exchange of information to occur. >> traffic division was started in 1909. they were motor officers. they used sidecars. officers who road by themselves without the sidecar were called solo. that is a common term for the

motorcycle officers. we have 45 officers assigned to the motorcycles. all parking at the new facility will be in one location. the current locker room with shared with other officers. it is not assigned to just traffic companies. there are two showers downstairs and up. both are gym and shop weres are old. it needs constant maintenance. >> forensic services provides five major types of testing. we develop fingerprints on substances and comparisons. there are firearms identification to deal with projectiles, bullets or cartridge casings from shootings. dna is looking at a whole an rare of evidence from -- array of evidence from dna to sexual assault to homicide.

we are also in the business of doing breath allyzer analysis for dui cases. we are resurrecting the gunshot residue testing to look for the presence of gunshot residue. lifespan is 50 years. >> it has been raised up high enough that if the bay starts to rise that building will operate. the facility is versus sustainable. if the lead gold highest. the lighting is led. gives them good lights and reduces energy use way down. water throughout the project we have low water use facilities. gardens outside, same thing, low water use for that. other things we have are green roofs on the project.

we have studies to make sure we have maximum daylight to bring it into the building. >> the new facility will not be open to the public. there will be a lobby. there will be a deconstruction motorcycle and have parts around. >> the dna labs will have a vestibule before you go to the space you are making sure the air is clean, people are coming in and you are not contaminating anything in the labs. >> test firing in the building you are generating lead and chemicals. we want to quickly remove that from the individuals who are working in that environment and ensure what we put in the air is not toxic. there are scrubbers in the air to ensure any air coming out is also at the cleanest standards. >> you will see that kind of at the site. it has three buildings on the site.

one is for the motorcycle parking, main building and back behind is a smaller building for evidence vehicles. there is a crime, crime scene. they are put into the secure facility that locks the cars down while they are examined. >> they could be vehicles involved in the shooting. there might be projectiles lodged in the vehicle, cartridge casings inside the vehicle, it could be a vehicle where a aggravated sexual occurred and there might be biological evidence, fingerprints, recovered merchandise from a potential robbery or other things. >> the greatest challenge on the project is meeting the scope requirements of the project given the superheated construction market we have been facing. i am proud to say we are delivering a project where we are on budget.

>> the front plaza on the corner will be inviting to the public. something that gives back to the public. the building sits off the edge. it helps it be protected. >> what we are looking for is an updated building, with facilities to meet our unit's needs. >> working with the san francisco police department is an honor and privilege. i am looking forward to seeing their faces as the police officers move to the new facility. >> it is a welcome change, a new surrounding that is free from all of the challenges that we face with being remote, and then the ability to offer new expanded services to the city and police department investigations unit. i can't wait until fall of 2021 when the building is finally ready to go and be occupied and the people can get into the

facility to serve them and serve the community. it's nice to see such a wonderful crowd in san francisco. i'd like to thank you for being here and thank supervisor dorsy for marking the moment and all you have done. you revitalize our downtown and brought people back to work safely. that's really important for all of us as we rebuild. hi, everybody. hi team. good to see you all. i'd like to thank the gap in teams that brought this vision to life. today's a really important milestone for the company.

we mark the official ribbon cutting and opening of our new creative and hometown hub in san francisco. right behind us. [ applause ] the teams worked to bring the vision to life and our reimagined space including collaboration, spaces where our creative can image and work and build their visions hand on. it includes open workspace that's flexible. the future work if vision can come to life and includes our four retail stores. that will bring shopping and vibrancy into this part of the city and allow us to showcase our future innovations for each iconic brand. with old navy, image lab on the end with grap, digital gallery inspired space with

forward in the future. it also means the world to represent this district that this company and everybody is doing such a great job revitalizing and reimaging. it's an honor to be apart of it and represent the mayor. everybody in the city and county of san francisco. thank you so much. i appreciate it.

it through wiggens. feel it through pull, porter, belly, moses. d. lee. this is not d. lee's first time around. you feel it through the guys and that's how you get the sensation again. i'd like to say thank you you all and as always [ beeps] everybody else. >> i am assuming andrew has nothing to add. let's bring up stephen curry and clay thompson. last time we won this stef gave a speech and how important the fans was and the journey with his brothers and

getting to the mountaintop and clay said whatever he just said. i'll start with clay instead. 941 days. when you came back in the cleveland game did you have an idea how much people loved you and appreciated you and we missed you? >> i mean. [ applause ] >> that goes both ways. i love being a resident of the bay area. i mean, just really mature draymond. he has the maturity level of a third grader. just seeing everybody in the neighborhood so excited and standing ovation from the chef and waiters. that's what it is about the

little wins. they would tell me about the little wins during my rehab. that's something i would take for the rest of my life. just the small things in life that inspired me to keep going. whether it's taking a picture with an old lauddy lady r young kid. dub nation has no bounds and we have fans from all walks of life. [ applause ] >> if you get a second bulldog would it be named ca nnoli. >> i was watching a lot of chris farley videos. i would put-on semipro or chris tucker. me and peter are big friend people. >> stef, to win game six you were as emotional as i ever saw you. you cried on the court. >> who cries on the basketball court. no crying in basketball.

>> tell us about being overwhelmed in there? >> tell me about what that meant. >> i think everybody that's been said on the stage if you say it out loud or internalize it you carry the journey with you every single day. to know what we have been through and my brother went through for almost three years. what we went through as a team to retool, regroup, rejuvenate what we had. just like taking snapshots of the last three years all of that came out. once we change buildings and carry the championship dna with us. the emotion was everything i got to the real questions what

will they say now. >> i don't know if it makes you goodnow. i have to play for coach kerr and go to paris. >> it's just amazing. an amazing feeling. everybody that has a part in that is the most important thing that trophy is nice. >> finish it off for andre andre and draymond. finish off the parade before we jump into cars with the kind of thought and o ohmage to fans. >> we have grown up in y'alls

eyes. from 2015 when we wondered what shaving cream was because we didn't have the ability to grow that stuff and know what we have carried the last eight years. how cool is it. 7 years to the date from game six of 2015 to game six of 2022. [ applause ] >> the exact same day we celebrate another championship. to know, we represent you guys. the life that you give us. the inspiration. the free males meals and standing ovations in the kitchen. >> i love those. all of that matters. this is what it's about. entertaining you guys and giving you something to cheer for. it's giving us the opportunity to go through amazing things that we haven't done in history and representing the entire bay area. it means a lot. dray went on a vacation but for us to know we have all

been here the entire time and try to continue to build this. we are back having a practice raid in san francisco. >> before we wrap-up i need your leadership. all of you to organize the team photo. let's get it done. one final photo. get on the tv cameras. get all of your instagram stuff. line it up, here it is. .♪

♪ i can actually grow roots♪ ♪ here not have the fear of ♪ ♪ being upgraded .♪ ♪ and so i'm grateful to all ♪ ♪ of you who've gotten ♪ ♪ together andhave made this ♪ ♪ happen .♪ ♪ [applause] so the beautiful ♪ ♪ thing about being here is ♪ ♪ what i've experienced is ♪ ♪ this is a reflection of my ♪ ♪ own culture.♪ ♪ i am biracial, filipino and ♪ ♪ black american and i have a ♪ ♪ son who is six years old and ♪ ♪ he's.. so i call him my ♪ ♪ future baby.♪ ♪ truly he is a reflection of ♪ ♪ this community and i'm so ♪ ♪ grateful to be raised around♪ ♪ children who look like him .♪ ♪ and who he can actually ♪ ♪ relate to.♪ ♪ again we are here andwhere ♪ ♪ rooted and he had grow up ♪ ♪ with them and not have this ♪

♪ fear of making friends and ♪ ♪ then leaving .♪ ♪ i'm also an entrepreneur so ♪ ♪ this building has been ♪ ♪ giving me the opportunity to ♪ ♪ continue running my own ♪ ♪ company where i've been able ♪ ♪ to own my own time and the ♪ ♪ one thing i do understand is ♪ ♪ everything starts with an ♪ ♪ idea and it starts with a ♪ ♪ unique idea and in order for ♪ ♪ you to be successful in that ♪ ♪ idea you need five things.♪ ♪ you needtime.♪ ♪ you need support . you need energy, resources and funds and you need that division so everyone can see and follow and align themselves with what this community is. we all have a mission that's our call to duty. what do we need need to do to make this happen and it has to be instilled in values in which we can all come together and have a gut check.

when you havethis type of community where you have differentcultures coming together with different economic backgrounds, there is somewhat of an explosion that happens . so everyone has to get to know one another . i have to know what works for meand i think that we are forced to understand one another in this type of capacity . i'm so grateful that i also see there's also community organizations here because i do have a creative myself i connect to the essence of who they are and i really am about the grand experience. i do consulting anddesign work. it is really about how you want to feel when you get there . i think that's what it's about andif any of you do energy work like i do , you're going to manifest how you feel so if you want to feel safe youhave to surround yourself with people who are safe . if you want to feel like that you have security, you have to

make sure that you're surrounded by people have that same type of understanding. but i think the one thing that starts every one off the starting line is the way you think and your philosophy. you have to be on that same page in order to nurture one another so i'm grateful for the organizations thatare here . i'm excited for my sons to be exposed to that type of energy. i want to get too much time what i'm grateful forthe part. it's so nice to have that as in our front yard . that's what i call it. that's our cart. and i love that it's open to the community because my son makes friends every day. new friends every day so it's beautiful. i've also been able to support the surrounding organizations and companies. that live and run their businesses so for me it's about how i feel if i'm going to

spend my resources so they make me feel like i'm a part of the family as well so i'm going to invest in their success and they add to the community here . one thing i do know is when you launcha brand is that you have to manage it and that has to be based off of what are the benefits , how do we all processed on the amicable culture of the community and i think he to this community is that we have so many different cultures coming together in which we can learn from one another and to this community and right now we're kind of a blank slate in a way so we're waiting for that to happen and so that's kind of where i am right now is definitely the management of it. i love how clean it is and i love for them to keep this budget to be able to keep it clean like this.it's awesome, right? and as far as like safety and security i hope that's also a

priority here because the community i would hate for something to happen to my neighbors . because we all kind of look out for each other and that's what's running to the businesses aroundhere is looking out for each other so would hope we would create a community of safety and security . andconvenience for everyone . so thank you again to everyone who made this possible . ijust want to let you know that the work that you put in has made a huge difference . [applause] >> good afternoon. my name is now, young chinatown community development center. you know, i had a written speech. it was on my phone. forget it, i'm not going to bother. you can't follow zoe dorado

with a written speech so i'm going to speak from myheart . this has been a heavy weekfor us so i'm grateful to be here . just yesterday we had a fire in one of our buildings. we had a stabbing. fatality in front of another and sometimes it makes you question how hard this work is. how challenging day-to-day can be. but coming to a moment like this,seeing this building, seeing the residence here , seeing the leaders here reminds me of why we do this and why we struggle through the hard parts of this work to makethe great part-time . i want to thank course all the partners have been here today . i have made thishappen . i do of course want to get a special shout out to our team chinatown. whitney and kim back there, the way your hands. i was going to call youguys up but i forgot to read my speech .

thank you so much to the hard work ofthe chinatown team . due to the partnership with meda. thank you meda for choosing us to be yourpartners, frankly and i want to make three points . i was trying to be inspirational but ican't after all these incrediblespeakers . one , i find it amazing that this building is not a hold to residents but home to a bunch of community-basedorganizations . because to me housing at the very top level is a place of stability . it's a place to make whole. it's a place to rest and a place to find shelter away from all the hard things in the world but when we care for buildings, when we care for residents and our communities the residence can do miraculous things and get back and i think they can get back by becoming theleaders , the future leaders forcommunities like the mission . they can be the next hillary ronan, the next london breeze.

that i think is going to be the gift of this building back to this community so iwanted to acknowledge that. that housing is not just housing . it's a place to grow leadership if we do it right and we need to do it right. the second point i want to make is that this relationship that we have with meda i deeply cherish. and i've come to cherish it even more in this moment where we have so much tension and he is in our communities, within our communities, withinour city . the fact that we can sit down with the mission-based organization. do something so special to, physically build a building together means in many ways we are married to this and it means when we have issues with each other we have to talk. we have to work it out. we have to go home at night and have dinner. we have to talk, we have to

work it out and i hope and i want that relationship to extend beyond this organization but also into our communities andmake this a bridge or communities like chinatown, like mission share so much in common , we are working folks, we're in a way where housing, we the places where in his really really for me incredibly gratifying that we can be part of meda's journey to become an anchor for this community to build housing, to control its assets and fulfill this vision of my talk lead cc and i want topoint at eric because i know you share that vision and that's why i love you . don't know if you talk about it publicly but when we talk behind closed doors eric knows that's where he wants to go and he wants his city to go and i think that's exactly where we need to go .

sothank you meda for letting us be a part of that . the last thing i also want to say is that chinatown cdc is. we're going to be in this buildinga little bit and continue to property management and provide resident services but i want to be clear about our intention . this is a building run by the mission and it is our intention mohcd, when you guys are ready and of course meda when you're ready our intention to make sure this building becomes meda's so in mission-based organization can run a mission-based building and we canjust be a friend at that point . so luis the entire community, iq for letting us be a part of this. this is an inspiring moment i needed this and i'm so glad i can be here today . [applause]

>> good afternoon everybody. my name is hillary ronen and i'm the lucky one that gets to be the supervisor of this district and i thought i was goingto be lucky going after malcolm . then they have to give this amazing inspiring speech. you guys havereally the anti-here . i just want to say that we've gotten so lucky. i feel madame mayor that we're always in the mission doing these groundbreaking's and it is the best by far part of our jobs. really nothing brings us more happiness and much more joy and more of a sense of accomplishment but i have to say this building is even extra special. i don't know about all of you but when i write down all. and i see your gorgeous beautiful face staring down at

me all that difficult stuff malcolm was talking about just sheds away and i remember how they had this vision for this space where they wanted part because there wasn't enough green and open space on the side of the mission and how they wanted affordable housing with community-based organizations on the ground floor. maria was there, miriam was there and antonio was there. so much of their families and it was just a dream. to now see the reality, see the kids playing and seeing this marriage between two noxious affordable housing developers but community-based affordable housing developers . it's just like's the load and reminds us that we're going to be okay. at times are tough, they seem to be getting taller and

tougher but when we got each other's backs and we work together that were going to be okay and we can makedreams a reality . congratulations . thank you forproducing this building . that makes me feelbetter every time i nearest thanks for all your inspiration . congratulations. >> good afternoon everyone. i'm withu.s. bank community development corporation . like malcolm i had written statements i was going to share with you ridof a lot of numbers . things to do and all that but i really can't. i was inspired by your work. the 20 years that you've been fighting for this project . i'm honored to be here. i'm also here to let you know that behind the stereotypical bankers there is a lot of

people who truly care about what we do. it's not about the numbers, about change. it's about changing people's lives about changing neighborhoods. about asking forwhat you want whenyour voices are not heard . but we hear you . we truly are you. i've worked with an organization with 600+ people atthis point fordedicated to making the world a better place . numbers matter . we're still dangerous,however it's the human story . it'syour stories . it's your poem that was so touching especially during this time . whether it be local or state or international, your poem really touched a nerve and i thankyou for that . i'm going to take your stories. the end of the day we sell a story. the numbers are there but it's the story that makes the

difference. thank you very much for letting usbe here . i really appreciate it. it's an amazing project. both meda, i really appreciate. [applause] >> good afternoon. i'm the executive director of the california council and i am so excited to be withyou here today . one of the distinct privileges i have within my organization is in partnership with housing and community development leaving the affordable housing sustainablekennedys program which one of the funding streams help make this project a reality today . and our core mission and my organization is to create a lead, thriving communities and said to support that self-determined goal and when i

look around today i see help and i see a community thathas come together to make an incredible project come to life so congratulations to all of you . one of the things i think is so important about the affordable housing sustainable communities program and where we are today is that intersection of affordable housing, equity goals and climate change. we all know that we need to be creating a community-based that gives people sustainability, both in terms of their daily lives but also our ability to live on this earth. so the goal of this program is to buildtogether all these elements in a way that's holistic , that builds upon one another and gives us better community spaces for our future and that can be hard and one of the things that is important about making this come together is when you have partners that are willing towork together to think about solutions and come up with ideas and ways to make it happen . this is an exciting year for us

or the affordable housing sustainable community program is in our last funding round we awarded over $800 million to aroundthe state to project like this. in the governor's budget , he proposed another $1.5 billion for projects that create show that housing is climate solutions and that by bridging these two together we can solve some of our most pressing challenges and address the needs in a way that is meaningful and sustainable. so i guess my asked to you all is as more of these applicants and programs and partnerships for to be able to re-create what you have here and webring them here to show you how you've done it ? can we use this as a project show how you can do 100 percent electric, large projects, use san francisco in a way that meets all the needs of the community is what you've done your is game changing and it's something we can replicate acrossthe state . ireally appreciate being able to joinyou here today . thank you .

>> afternoon. we're almost done. thank you very much. first let me talk briefly to some of the people. [speaking spanish] it is great to be here. you got not one buttwo members of the administration , meaning myself and we are here to demonstrate that for the state of california, this partnership is so important.

this partnership with the city of san francisco who is doing a terrific job in prioritizing affordable housing. mayor, your administration has been fast in prioritizing affordable housing.the partnership with meda, chinatown tec and the state government. it's very important. and we have in sacramento historic investments at the moment in affordable housing. for the last couple of years we've been doing is we've been entering that we at first that we choose what the state priority is to create more affordable housing and then we harmonized those priorities across the dozens of multi family housingrental production programs that there are . and this project here exemplifies it, embodies so well those priorities. let me mention three. first deeply affordable. when i hear that the units will

serve individuals and families that earn between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income that is essential. because housing for people with very low income is the housing that has been under produced most in the state of california for many years we have to ensure that housing that is deeply affordable, it costs more money but it's worth it. it's absolutely worth it. the second priority is fair housing. to ensure that we have inclusive projects, inclusive communities of opportunity and malcolm you and i don't agree on everything but i've been learning a lot from you when we know that we have to invest more affordable housing not just in the more affluent areas

in the more well resourced areas because we know a lot of affordable housing in the state of california has been created in areas of concentrated poverty but it is just as important to continue to build affordable housing in stead of government in neighborhoods and communities where you protect and retain the cultural heritage .where people in good and bad times that were living through stick around and they want to stay in this community so fair housing is essential the third lynn explained so well. the connection between warehousing is being built and the ability to have a cleaner air. less pollution. that is a factor of where we build on the proximity to restaurants and the things that matter mostproximity . get them out of the car. walk to a job, to the school, to theplaces they need .

this project is such a great example of the kinds of things the state government is prioritizing in a time where we havehistoric levels of investment . we need to maximize those resource andcontinued to create the housing . and with that let me bring to the stage the biggest champion ofaffordable housing in the city of sanfrancisco, arguably one of the biggest champions of affordable housing in california , mayor of london breed . [applause] >> first of all thank you gustavoand let me say this . don't tell the governor this but you are my favorite person insacramento . and he's my favorite person in sacramento because he understands why a project like

this is so important to the people of san francisco and ha been very supportive of the work that we do . because it doestake a village. in fact , these projects that started as a supervisor ronen mentioned we've been a number of these groundbreaking's in the mission and these projects started when i was on the board of supervisors and you were working for the supervisor of this district and this community rallied and came together with data. also experience about what was happening specifically in the mission. i want to see change. wanted the city to invest and at that time mayor lee made a $50 million investment to begin the process of analyzing this district and looking for properties . this was a parking lot and other sites were in the places that we were able to purchase.

and to work together to come up with the resources to make sure we made theinvestments . those resources involve money from the city that we couldn't do it alone and get itdone this past in bureaucratic years. we wouldn't be here right now . and the fact is we came together. we worked with thestate . we worked with the speaker of the house who was an important part of this project in particular and others in the mission . as of today, this is a 649 unit that we've been able to open in the mission community so far. with more to calm. and i wish it was a lot faster. but here's thething and what i remember when i started on the board of supervisors as well . there was a lot of push for more housing opportunities but

what i remembered in the fillmore and what happened to the community i grew up with there is all this housing was built but we weren't always able to get into the housing was built in our community . that's why this community joins me in fighting for neighborhood preference. so that we can make sure that when we tell the community we're going to build housing that there's a real opportunity for the people who actually live here to have access to these units. that was so much more important to me than anything else. a commitment tothe community and because of that we have neighborhood preference with this project . we want to end youth homelessness and shirley adams is here and i'm so glad that we have used speaks that do extraordinary work for young people and our goal in the city is to do everything we can to end youthhomelessness so housing for transitional aged

youth in this project as well this is a dream . this is what's possible when we come together. this is what's possible when we work hard to do extraordinary things. can youimagine being a kid , hanging out in this courtyard. and i don't know if kids still play hopscotch andjumping jacks and all that stuff weused to play. maybe video gamesbut they need to beoutside anyway . but playing in this courtyard , yelling up to the window, , i'm going to go to the park . heading up the store to the park to enjoy their neighborhoods and to grow up talking about these experiences . this is the dream. it's so much more than housing. it's a community. filled with community-based organizations who been doing extraordinary work.filled with meda and ccc who believe in affordable housing for

people in san francisco of all ages. this is an extraordinary project and i'm so happy to be here today and so proud to represent the city in this way. now it's time to do what we've all been waitingfor even though everybody's already moved in . covid put us in this situation so we don't want to miss out on these milestones even though we couldn't stop people from moving in needed thesehousing units right now so here we are , ready to cut theribbon . are you ready? supervisor ronen are you ready? yes, let's do this!>> four, three, two,one .
