state who has the power to assess our progress on this transfer plan in hault the transfer. when we had negotiated had asked for 18 months in terms of coming in to compliance and that was rejected by the staff at the california department of public health. and we had no choice but to agree to their terms which was four months. we have no choice but to stand up and say this is bottom line. so we are asking the folks who

do have the power to do this, the governor and our public health officers for the state of california, to declare a state of emergency and you know, go back to the drawing board and stop the transfer of patients not require that we continue to transfer all patients. thank you so much colleagues, and i ask for your support. >> again, i want to agree and associate my comments made by supervisor ronene and i want to thank you for your taking the lead on this supervisor milgaard. before we take a vote on this imperative for resolution, we need to open up the item for public comment. >> clerk: seeing no members of

when there is a reasonable shortage of nursing home beds. and the best thing to do is for laguna honda to fix, its policy and its practice while the patients are there without transferring them and putting them at risk of desk. i really appreciate everyone's support, laguna honda to do. making calls to nursing homes to try to transfer people is not something that people should be spending their time doing.

thank you for your comes. mr. adkins let's hear from the next caller please. >> madam clerk, there are no further callers on the queue. mr. president. >> seeing no other speakers public comment is now closed and madam clerk now on imperative resolutions. >> clerk: stefani, aye, walton aye, supervisor chan, chan aye, supervisor dorsey aye, mannedleman aye, mar, mar aye, milgaard aye, peskin aye,

this meeting is adjourned. good and welcome to -- i am scott

weiner, i have the honor to represent san mateo county. and we were able to recently retain in the budget $12 million in san francisco east neighborhoods. and specifically that funding is as follows, $5 million for the sunnyvale hub for the amazing rex -- rec's center, and for the market and the artwork space. each of these investments will

directly impact this amazing and over time tragically neglected community ensuring that kids have a safe place to play, ensuring that people have direct access to produce and street safety and of course supporting local artist. i first want to talk about sunnyvale hub. as you know, i want to thank all the members of the community today. sunnyvale is a public housing community whose residents are largely low-income and people of color. this community has for so many years lacked access to just basic community services that so many of us take for granted, such as access to fresh food, access to a public gym where

people can exercise and access to safe places for young people to play. while so many san franciscans live within an easy walking distance to a public recreation center, the public gym for sunnyvale is within two miles. it is very necessary and will be a great place for families to gather and play and much needed sports and a healthy and social outlet for youth. many who don't feel safe traveling to other neighborhoods. kids deserve to be kids and to come and play soccer and everywhere else, to do arts and crafts with their friends. residents of all ages will enjoy

the wonderful new recreation center. i want to thank the mayor's office of housing and community development and parks and rec and for making this resource a reality. and for the san francisco produce market. not everyone knows about it, but it's the best part of san francisco that is a place where farmers from around the state can come and sell their fresh produce, supporting our local farmers, and is the only non-profit wholesale produce market of this scale in the country. with this $5 million investment, the produce market will be able

to upgrade its facilities and surrounding infrastructure directly benefitting the neighborhood and those who rely on the market and there is a lot of street changes that need to happen to take the market into the modern era and to make it really sustainable for the long run and supports economic development and food security for the southeast portion of san francisco. finally, i'm really excited about the funding that we were able to attain for the box shop, a collaborative artwork space in bayview point offering studios for the artist of the bay area focusing on arts and hopefully will continue to exist in a new space. we know that being an artist in san francisco is not easy to say the least. the cost-of-living here is just extraordinary for everyone and

we have seen far too many artist having to leave san francisco, and san francisco is all about arts and culture and we support local artist. the box shop is that space, a space that what so many artist lack and a space to create beautiful art. that's what the box shop is. while some may have to leave, i hope there are spaces and we want it to be sustainable and to have a permanent space. so i'm proud to be here today with various community leaders that you will hear from including mayor breed and supervisor walton. now, i would like to welcome our mayor, mayor breed. [ applause ] >> mayor london breed: thank you, senator weiner. it's so great to be back here in sunny

dale with the work that needs to continue. we have been here over the years for numerous occasions. i remember when i became mayor taking here and talking about a lot of the promises made to this community over the years, and after governor newsom after federal funding brought hope to sff with the south community around rehabbing and redeveloping a number of public housing in the city. but it couldn't be about rebuilding the homes but supporting the needs of the community. that's why the fact that our state senator scott weiner understood the value of this project and the needs for us to bring together the resources to make sure that it happens and is delivered is so significant. fortunately senator weiner

understand the south east sector of this city, and the president of the board of supervisors, mr. walton, you are the beneficiary of this senator because we are talking about nearly $12 million on the southeast sector of our city [ applause ] investing in this community finally. [ cheers and applause ] i know larry is happy and since being part of this community born and raised and see it give back is something that happens once in a lifetime that is truly extraordinary. we have other members here and we are talking about folks who are investing even their own money to making the hub happen. whereas the boys and girls, and we have rob here as well. the boys and girls club will have their facility. we will have a

community hub and child care center and this is happening because of people of this community and that's what we want. i can't wait until we make the investments in sf market because that fresh produce that comes from the general street will come right here in a community that we open and that is long over due. [ cheers and applause ] so, senator weiner, i really want to thank you for your support of focusing on this community. i wish it wasn't happening in bureaucratic years because it's 15 years in the making and we've been able to build a few hundred units here. we went from almost 800 units in this community and when it's all said and done, we are talking about 1700 units filled with life, filled with fun, filled with home, filled with family

and filled with opportunity. thank you so much senator weiner, we appreciate you and we appreciate your advocacy and we appreciate you to be sure that all of san franciscans are included in these wonderful opportunities. i can't wait until we open up all of those places, right here, the rec's center, the gym, all of those that make this an amazing community. thank you for your patience, understanding and feedback and for speaking over how our community is not delivering as it should. thank you all and to all and thank you for blessing us and we are going to get this done. thank you

[ cheers and applause ] >> senator weiner: thank you for mayor breed and for deeply understanding that people deserve to have a safe and just wonderful place to live. i'm so excited about this project. next, i want to welcome up the president of the board of supervisors supervisor walton who represents southeastern neighborhood. we have a long relationship and friendship. and he is very, he is such a fierce fighter for this community. he holds all of us who hold citywide office accountable to never ever ever forget this community because we know in the history of san francisco, far too often

for his vision for this and the mayor and mr. walton. it's these situations and it's amazing that we have leadership that knows where these public dollars need to go. i appreciate that. i hope they get -- >> we have a long standing campaign with our recreation and parks. we have seen the streamline and it's a place with rec's and park and it's a great

thing. lastly, as an affordable housing developer, most of the time we are building housing in communities where there is nobody on the site to begin with. sunny dale is a completely different situation. we walked into a place that had a vision and the mayor mentioned, larry and drew and those that work with the boys and girls club staff and we are all behind with what led to the team development. it's phenomenal to have the opportunity to work to fulfill the promise that president walton talked about earlier. i want to thank you for working in this community. it's one of the most important experiences of my life.

i will thank you and turn it back over to the state senator. [ applause ] >> so, to make the hub successful, we are going to rely on our non-profit community partners who do amazing work supporting our young people. i want to bring up two folks from our non-profit. rob connolly from the boys and girls club, monica walters of children's services. >> [ applause ] >> good morning and thank you so much. i would like to start of course by thanking senator weiner for hearing the needs of our communities and championing them from sacramento and mayor breed and sf board of supervisors for their contribution to the low-income investment fund. that is a big

part of our funding here in the city as well as the states. we believe that early quality child care education is so important. we know that good preschool education is essential for the success in kindergarten and beyond. this is important for families of san francisco. we have been working closely with all of you to make this possible and this investment is marking a new milestone for the community and we are committed to the success of every child and we could not do it alone and that's why the mayor and the board of supervisors has really made a tremendous difference in our ability to succeed in our mission. by working together with you and our partners at sunny dale, we want all of our community members to feel invested in this project and to the success of all of our

children. together, we are raising san francisco. >> thank you so much. >> [ applause ] >> some of our young people and staff from the club at sunny dale will join me. let me first just say, rob connolly, boys and girls club of san francisco, i'm super proud to be here today. i love the spot we picked because you can look right over, you can see where the hub is going to be, where the gym is going to be. it's so exciting for me. boys and girls club has been in this community for 31 years. i have been responsible for this site for 23 of those years and we've had some tough times here and times when we wonder can we do this work successfully? we wondered should we stay here? should we move to an area outside of the community. we have three really small rooms

here, and it then became apparent that something was going to change in this community and the leaders in the city were going to look out for the community and do something profound. so i am incredibly proud and it's been a long time coming here and to say thank you to our elected officials. senator weiner, thank you for all you do. you do it in a really quiet way at times and you are good at what you do. i appreciate the fact that you answered the calls when people like me make them and you find ways to support the community. i'm really grateful to everything that you have done. mayor breed, we knew that when you went into office, that communities like this was going to benefit in a great way. when the mayor came in, i thought, all right, there are going to be

some promises delivered on. thank you for everything you are doing. and supervisor walton, thank you for caring about your community, he's got five sites and your support of this community, i have seen you many times to support many things and support my staff and drew and others. you do it from your heart and i'm really grateful for everything you do. >> i want to also acknowledge the young people behind me. we are excited and we know what this can mean, but this is yours and we are really proud and whatever amount of time it's going to be, this is yours. this is your hub. we have the tag group, teen advocacy group. you have spoken up and attended

hearings with rec's and parks and thank you for allowing the young people to be heard and congratulations for all of do. [ applause ] i will just finally say to my staff out here, star leads this site. jb is here as well and dede is in the crowd and the professionals here that work everyday for the young people and for the families of the community. thank you for your leadership as staff and my senior team is here and some have been here for two decades now to make sure this ran well. and the promise that is going to be here in the next couple years is really exciting. thank you all and thank you to the officials for being great

leaders. >> [ applause ] i'm sorry, i have to come back because i forgot to thank erik and the mayor's office for all of their great work. [ applause ] senator weiner: next, i want to bring up mr. elias, from the farmer's market. >> hello everyone today. i would like to thank you especially senator weiner for bringing the funds. you have heard a little bit about the sf market. we have been proud members of the bayview point for many years. if you are not familiar with us, please come out and take a chance. we have bring food from farms around

california around distribute to restaurants and more. we have a collection of warehouses but i like to think of it as food infrastructure, critical infrastructure. come see me and we'll give you a tour. if you want a taste of it, there are those bags and it's for you all. please take some delicious produce home. while connecting this from farms and consumers, it's critical because it's a non-profit enterprise who employ 500 people and those jobs provide job diversity and it's a great job and we support food access and we match make between food

pantries and provide to those who need it and to our merchants to maybe food that is not sellable. we distribute 4,000 tons of fresh food everything that leads to 9 million pounds of food which is greater than anywhere in california and i don't know of any place bigger than that nearby. the funding is coming to the market thanks to the senator is going to allow us to ground break this new warehouse. to us it's a big deal, but the impact means it's going to be a new building and where we want to be and will continue to be able to have jobs and we'll be able to provide the services to the city as we really want to.

the funds will help sf market with jobs and continue to flow in san francisco. we are excited to do that. please take some food on your way out. thank you, mayor, thank you supervisor, thank you senator. we are so happy. >> senator weiner: i got a produce bag. finally, i want to bring up charlie from the box shop. >> [ applause ] hello, my name is charles. i run the box shop. it's a collaborative art space in hunters point. i would like to thank senator weiner and california, everyone. the box shop is a place in hunters point and we have tools

for artist and makers. we have been serving the community for the past 20 years, and hundreds of amazing works of art have been produced there, public works of arts that have impacted thousands of people. like many other local arts organizations, we face many pressures including the high cost of real estate. unfortunately we are going to lose our least and have about two more years at our current location, and this funding is really going to help us to purchase a new building and to create a permanent home for the 100 plus artist and the thousands of people who used the space. i really want to invite everyone if you haven't been to the box shot at ten hunters point which is next to the two new parks they are building, and we have in the last couple years paid

140 artist to paint 140 murals inside the space and created a great amazing collection of the bay area work. we are really looking forward to serve an art space in san francisco for the industrial arts community for many many years to come. once again, thank you very much to senator weiner, and the state of california, and i look forward to working with london breed and the board of supervisors. i'm sorry because i'm a little bit nervous. i'm just super excited and looking forward to make a difference in people's lives for years to come. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> okay, that concludes our speakers, we are happy to answer any questions from the press. >> okay. >> oh yeah. >> sure.

>> [inaudible] >> there are questions about the project for the funding. >> okay. >> everyone is still doing fundraising. so private donations. >> come on up. >> [ applause ] >> that's right. hello, everybody. i'm larry jones and i have been here all my life as a resident, advocate, whatever

hat, i wore it. for 13 years, i want to say in this project in this community is something that is needed badly. it's going to change lives and change people's outlook perspective on living. we have been impoverished, underserved and we have new direction, we have a new light and the negative vibes are now being deleted. supervisor walton, we love you, mayor breed, we love you, and senator weiner. you cannot imagine how this is going to change where you have this place for kids and it is accessible and you will not believe how the kids will be able to enjoy this facility and

we can do better and live better. it's different than just funding. the bureaucracy did what they were supposed to do. they stepped up. we have been in this situation for decades. i want to say thank you to everyone of this community and thank you for bringing this back which is what we deserve. thank you. [ cheers and applause ] >> okay, anything else? >> okay, now, we go to monkey pox. >> okay, the mayor will. okay, thank you, everyone. we want to do a big picture. let's do a big picture to show to our beautiful community.

>> you are watching san francisco rising. today's special guest is jeff tomlin. >> hi. you are watching san francisco rising. to show that is focused on restarting, rebuilding, and reimagining our city. our guest today is the director transportation of the sfmta and he's with us to talk about the agency's 23-24 budget with the muni equity strategy and new projects across the city. welcome to the show. >> thank you it is good to be here. >> i see the sfmta's budget for

2023 and 2024 has been approved. how will it help provide a strong recovery during the next few years for our riders, operators and staff? >> it has been a challenging couple of years. covid wiped out the basic finances. our agency is funded primarily from transit fares, parking fees and a fixed set aside for a general fund and covid has meant we have lost more than half of our parking and transit for revenue. we are not expected to recover them until 2027. this budget takes a one-time federal release funding and spreads that out between now and 2025. and our task is to rebuild trust with the voters that sfmta can actually deliver on their goals and that includes things like making muni faster, more frequent, and more reliable.

includes making our streets safer and making everyone feel safe riding the bus. it means taking advantage of the amount of change we're going to experience in order to advance equity so that we invents -- invest the most amount of money in communities that need our services the most. it also means supporting san francisco in its larger economic recovery. basically two years between now and 2024 in order to build trust with the voters and figure out how are we going to find muni moving forward because it is in 2024 and 2025 when the one-time federal release fund went out. >> are you planning on starting up? >> as a result of covid, we have 1,000 vacancies in the organization. that is why muni service is not fully recovered. this budget allows us to fully staff through 2024, which means

we can restore muni service, invest in safety, and invest in other programs in order to make the transportation system work better for everyone. >> can you talk about the mooney service equity strategies? as you move out of the pandemic, how has that plan been updated? i have heard there are elevator upgrades in progress. >> we have been working a lot on equity during muni's recovery. we have been basing our work on the muni equity strategy. this is the plan we update every two years that looks at the changing demographics of san francisco and helps us direct our transit resources where people need it the most. that means people with low income, people of color, seniors, people with disability, children, all the folks who have the fewest choices. during covid, when we had to strip back the transit system, 13 quarters of the workforce were in quarantine, we directed

all of the agency's resources to the equity neighborhoods. places like the bayview, chinatown, the mission, the valley, and even through our recovery, we have continued to deliver the best muni service's so -- to the neighborhoods that need it the most. right now we are still operating more frequent service in core lines in equity neighborhoods than we did precovid. and the result of that is extraordinarily high ridership. we are finding, for example, by investing in the frequency and reliability on lines like the 22 fillmore, that we are getting 133% of precovid ridership, even when the overall system is only at about half of the ridership recovery. that is 133%. that is on weekends. we are at about 96% of precovid ridership on our main equity lines on weekdays.

we're also investing a whole variety of infrastructure projects aimed at making transit work better, particularly for people with disabilities. on the market street corridor, our elevators to the subway station date back to the 1970s and need significant renovation. right now we are busy working on renovating the elevators at the station. we have completed the elevator upgrade for the eastbound platform. we are now working on the westbound platform. that will modernize the elevators and make them a lot more reliable, and make sure that we can continue to prioritize people with the fewest mobility choices. >> that's great. changing topics slightly, i understand the improvement project is halfway completed. have shared spaces made the product -- project more complicated? >> yes. lots of things have made the terminal project more complicated, including things like covid and supply chain

issues. we learned a lot on the first phase of the terra vale project, which rebuilt the street from sunset boulevard to the zoo, including rebuilding all the infrastructure of the streets, the underground utilities, to modernize all that infrastructure and make it more resilient, and make sure that we do not have to rebuild the street, hopefully in any of our lifetimes. we also learned about the importance of collaborating, particularly with neighborhood businesses and residents. we want to make sure that we are constructing the city's infrastructure in a time that the city is suffering and we are not adding to suffering. we're doing things like partnering with the mayor's office of economic workforce development to support neighborhood businesses through programming during this time. we are also making sure that businesses that create shared spaces in the parking lane, some of those need to be moved out of the way while the utility work is done underneath them.

we are making sure that we will either move those platforms and outdoor eating areas back as they were, or help local merchants rebuild them so that we are not adding to the burden of local businesses and that we help everyone recover in this challenging time. >> quite right. finally, many of the sfmta vision zero quick build projects have been well received. can you talk about the evans street project? >> one of the things we did during covid was dramatically expand the rate of what we call quick build projects, which are fast-moving projects using simple and cheap materials in order to redesign streets and test out new ideas and see how they work, as well as get a lot of feedback from community before moving into a larger capital project that converts all of that plastic stuff into concrete and trees and, you

know, curb extensions. what we have been finding is that our quick build safety projects are able to cut severe injury and fatalities between 25 and 75%, depending upon the location on the techniques that we use. so we are targeting streets that have the highest rate of traffic crashes, particularly injury crashes and fatalities. we focused on evans, which is really important connector for all modes of transportation between the bayview and the central neighborhoods of san francisco. also a street with a terrible track record of severe crashes. on evans, what we are doing, again using paint and plastic posts for the time being, is taking the lanes that are out there right now, and converting them to one lane in each direction plus turn pockets. what we found on streets like valencia or south bend this, or

-- south van nass, is a street with one lane in each direction plus a term pocket can move just as much traffic as a street with two lanes in each direction. left turning vehicles mean the two lanes of traffic are never really available for through traffic. these road diets that we do have been tremendously effective for improving safety outcomes for all road users, without exacerbating traffic. they do make all cars slow down to the speed of the most prudent driver. this week we are getting started in partnership with the department of public works on work to restripe all of evans between third and cesar chavez, and as part of this work will be collecting a lot of data, talking to industrial users in the industrial district and talking to folks in the bayview commercial district and in the

mission about how it is working. we will make some adjustments along the way and if it is successful, then we will start another project that is more capital-intensive to make it permanent. if it is not successful, we will turn it back the way that it was, having spent very little money. >> thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on the show. thank you for the time you have given us today. >> it has been great being here. thank you so much. >> that is it for this episode. we will be back shortly. you have been watching san francisco rising. thank you for watching.

sever this particular recommendation from the broader resolution for designation of multiple neighborhood and community outreach periodicals. our office received an inquiry of the award of chinese community contract subsequent to the introduction of the resolution for award of all the advertising contracts. as a result of the inquiry from (inaudible) our office further reviewed the submitted bid from the newspaper and we recognize we overlooked material provided, specific to the newspaper circulation numbers, which was a component of the evaluation. as such, we have reevaluateed our scoring and have revised the scores for this particular outreach periodical designation. more specifically in the circulation component the newspaper receives 3.18 points for circulation which results in the newspaper becoming

the highest scoring bidder for the chinese community outreach periodical by.25 points. so, recommending the newspaper be designated as the chinese community advertising periodical which replace the recommendation for wind journal. additionally, i do want to note oca found we mistakenly forward to include the (inaudible) though in fact our evaluation our initial evaluation in fact should have been recommended. so, we have amended the resolution to reflect these two changes. if i'm not mistaken i believe these are substantive changes that may require the item to be continued.

>> question to the city attorney. are these substantive changes? >> deputy city attorney ann pearson. the addition of the neighborhood periodical but removing wind journal and replacing would be. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you chair ronen and director for the explanation and the update on this somewhat complicated matter, and i just wanted to make sure i'm understanding, because i have some conflicting information. so, the amendment would add the wind newspaper-would retain world journal as the community outreach periodical for the chinese community, but also add the wind as a second one, is that correct? >> no, actually, oca

can only recommend the highest scoring proposer, and so that is why we are retracting our recommendation for wind journal, which is now a lower scoring then wind newspaper and again as i mentioned wind newspaper with the revised scoring is the winner essentially the highest scoring by .25 points. >> okay. so, the amendment would replace world journal with the wind because the outreach periodical for the chinese community city wide? >> that is correct. >> my staff made a amendment that includes both world journal and wind as both of them, but-i guess i don't-- >> maybe i can explain. so,

what we submitted as the revised amendment or the amended resolution yesterday to the clerk does replace world journal with wind, because wind is the highest scoring. that said, it has been i think practice or guidance from the city attorney office that the supervisors can in fact add periodicals or change that recommendation. >> uh-huh. >> differ to the city attorney on this. thank you. >> great. this also the amendment-there is a additional amendment that adds the potrero view serving on 1, 2, 3-maybe 6 neighborhoods. >> correct. >> why do we need to add this or make the amendment? can you explain that again? >> yes. as i mentioned before, in our initial scoring

potrero view actually was noted as the highest scoring in fact i think they were the only proposer that submitted for this particular category. the documents we submitted initially when we introduced this does indicate they should have been awarded, we just mistakenly forgot to include potrero view so like to add it now. >> so it was a oversight? >> yes. >> okay. i'm supportive of the amendments that you presented and i just maybe have a more general question. why-particularly the chinese community outreach designation or periodical designation, why wasn't this caught sooner, because it has been very awkward in the process and-yeah.

>> yes. thank you for that question supervisor mar. so, i would note, we do as a office do take protests and inquiries very seriously and when they come in we do review them and see if there is anything that our office should have done differently. normally when we are recommending--before we come to the board we do issue generally a notice of intent to award. there is a protest period where any bidder can object to the scoring. that did not happen in this case. it is now something that we are looking at in terms of the process for these particular advertising contracts and it will be our process be revised next year so it highlighted a oversight on our part for our recommendation coming forward. >> got it. we did have a hearing in the budget committee on the original item probably a couple months ago, so

in this case the complaint or the appeal happened late in the process and got- >> that is correct. it happened after we introduced the resolution, but again we have to take it under consideration and make corrections as needed. >> thank you. thanks. >> thank you. can we open the item up for public comment? >> yes madam chair. members who wish to speak on the resolution and joining in person line up to speak now. call 415-655-0001 with meeting id and press pond twice. for those in the queue continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted and that is your queue to begin comments. madam chair, no speakers in the queue. >> thank you public comment is now closed. would you

talking about adopting the recommendations of the guaranteed income advisory group, and then working to establish the city policy in support of guaranteed income. this resolution today is based on the work from former colleague supervisor matt haney who authorized legislation to establish the income advisory group to advise on guaranteed income and universal basic income. one issue we should consider is whether the various pilot programs we established are working, and how we can move from pilot program to policy change as the title of the report states. let me just say as we begin very clearly i'm a strong supporter of universal basic income and guaranteed income. the covid-19 pandemic has exposed what is a ongoing and often theme in the city and that is one we truly are a

tale of two cities and something that has gone on for quite some time in san francisco, and i think it is shown in how inequitable the recovery has been for different communities. in my district working families and middle class families are being squeezed with the cost of every day living on the rise. whether it is rent, transportation, child care, access to good and healthy food, families need support, and they need cash relief to help them get through the challenges that we face on a daily basis. the advisory group was comprised of community representatives and department leadership. i want to thank treasurer sis narrow office for providing the initial infrastructure. i also want to thank jim pew from universal income project for meeting with me

earlier as we were preparing for the hearing today. i agree with him, people closest to the problem should be the ones most involved designing the program and overall program design. so, in that i like to invite departmental representatives for comments. i believe we will begin with deputy director (inaudible) which lead the projeth. cheryl davis, from human rights commission and deputy director suzy smith from human services agency. let's start with (inaudible) >> goodern moing. thank you so much for allowing us to come and speak. again, my name is (inaudible) i serve as chief assistant treasurer for city and county. we provided presentations and i'll walk through them and give a high level. we were honored to staff the guaranteed income advisory group. it was well

suited given expertise in banking and social justice work. san francisco guaranteed income group was created to advise the board mayor and appropriate city departments. i want to thank the second slide shows the diverse and deep knowledge that the members had on the committee and then the advisory group. jim is here and dr. davis and (inaudible) will speak after i speak about it. the recommendations in the report examine how to move from pilot to policy. while maintaining the strength of the city support for pilot development implementation and ultimately achieving scale. the process that the group went through was significant and if you go to the next slide you'll see they established shared principal including defining what guaranteed income went and cash assistance a diverse definition across the scope and grounding san francisco in what

they thought was the most meaningful way to address systemic economic disparities. >> are we viewing slides for the presentation? >> i think they were handed out, were they not? >> hard copy. >> sorry, we are on the slide that says shared principal. sorry about that. thank you. thank you supervisor. define what guaranteed income and cash assistance was since there are many definitions out there. the process also involved deep learning from experts. you will see the subsequent pages the background research that went through. we had staff that did sigcon research analysis as well as hud leadership come and speak to the advisory group itself and spoke to community activists around their experiences and needs and a lot of the

community activist that help design and shape some of the programs that we (inaudible) also included inventory of the pilot and programs that exist in san francisco. the recommendation you move forward after you see the slide with process and we have this here for you on the website so you can see any details if you like but i won't go through in detail. moving forward with the recommendations-noted on the slide states coordinate and align through centralized guaranteed income unit. these recommendations reflect a belief correct and unconditional cash transfers are effective anti-poverty tool. it is really clear and important to us the notion of unconditional is strategically intentionally part of the definition. that the investment to craelt create and run them pras is needed to bring thecurrent field of san francisco to scale and

addressing the systemic needs we have within san francisco. in addition the recommendations and the first core recommendation is to coordinate and align pilots and policies through a centralized guaranteed income unit that staff to support the city wide work. that includes looking at research as well asfunding. the second recommendation is center community voices and the planning. the implementation and evaluation of the work itself. this includes focus on racial equity and changing the narrative from scarcity to deservedness abendance and dignity. critical hone in on the opponent this is not about need, but really about changing the definitions of deservedness to elevate the conversation and recognize the shift these funds were striving to

achieve. and lastly, the group recommends the city think big and pursue structural sustainable and scalable reform and strategy. this includes strategies to expand cash support through the tax system itself similar what we saw in covid. deeper investment for families and children focus on youth. expanding access to public benefits. in addition one of the outcomes of the advisory group was online resource that provides insights to policy and program staff to begin the journey for developing guaranteed income efforts. happy to take questions along with my colleague. i call up suzy smith from human service agency as well as dr. davis who also lead and spearheaded robust powerful discussion this morning about the guaranteed income. >> good morn chair ronen, supervisor safai and supervisor mar. thank you again

for calling this hearing today. suzy smith deputy director at san francisco human service agency and honored to represent hsa on the guaranteed income advisory group which includes stakeholders with lived experience, foundations, practitioners and advocates. i want to speak briefly about hsa role in this work and on a couple recommendation that touch on implementation. one of our goals in the gi space is help protect guaranteed income payments from negatively impacting people public benefits. proud we partnered with the california department of social services early on to identify legal pathways to exempt gi income from certain public benefits. since we work to help establish the legal authority and regulatory pathways and process

actually exempt income san francisco we applied for through the exemption authority and process to submit two guarantee income waver applications so people do not center to choose between receiving guaranteed income and benefits like cal fresh and cal works and we will play that role in applying for the states for the wavers as more programs are implemented in san francisco. i are want to lift up two recommendations from the report we will be acting on specifically. one of the recommendations is thinking about which population to focus gi pilots on. the report recommends considering racial equity and targeting periods of critical transition in one's life. recommends specifically using a life course approach to target guaranteed income intervention, storing sensitive life stages that can

really shift the trajectories and reduce disparities and increase wellbeing so things like first time pregnant moms, or foster youth transitioning out of care. towards that end, hsa will be applying forfunding from the state guaranteed income pilot initiative to provide guaranteed income for all youth exiting child welfare and juvenile probation. this is a first in its kind state of california is investing $35 million in guaranteed income and to prioritize populations are foster youth and pregnant mothers. we haven't gotten the funds but i think will be competitive in our application. in the an ticipation of the funding engage youth and cbo designing the process. to the point about

evaluation, the state has already secured an evalwaiter to understand how these different models are implemented across the state. what are the most effective components. research has proven gi is effective but there are nuances when it is layered with what else and which populations these efforts can be most effective. excited the state will have a evalwaiter and we will seek a local evaluator assuming we get the funds. second under the think big recommendation the group recommends pursuing reforms that both expand and increase access to public benefits. our department has and will continue to do this through the leadership roles in state-wide association. these advocacy efforts with allied organizations locally and across the state resulted in significant policy changes like expanding medi-cal to

all undocumented residents and assets limit frz thing like medi-cal and expanding the funding that cal works families get every month so these are significant advocacy pushes my department and allied departments locally and across the state have been pushing for years and continue to push. with our touch points with nearly every (inaudible) we look forward to continuing to partner in the collective and important work to institutionalize guaranteed income practices and change the narrative. thanks again for drawing attention to the important issue and happy to answer any questions the committee may have. >> good morning. i will try to be quick here. i just are wanted to first formost thank you for for hold ing

the hearing and advancing this work. i also want to point out and thank you for mentioning as well, britany (inaudible) who is online was working with supervisor at that time haney's office because the hrc had been working with abundant birth projict and other initiatives and want to icmasure the coordinated approach is something we have been working on quite a while to get them listed to understand where resources were happening and also understand the impact and the evaluation so the coordinated efforts have been and continue to be very important to us. it is work we will continue to support. last year or i think last year we hosted a session a forum arond that and working with michael tubs and folks to talk specifically about that. also worked with derrick hamilton who was a part of the

conversation this morning leading the work nationally on baby bonds and having conversations around guaranteed income. the other piece that is really important to me and the office the human rights commission is around community sentards. the work we have been doing is informed by community and it is going to continue to be and we want to center that as we build out-we are redesigning the human rights commission, the department to have a division that focuses on economic rights to support this. britany (inaudible) will be leading that and then arond the deeper investments, the cash supports the baby bond, the work already done for k to college but also thinking about it in terms of how we support entrepreneurs, how we support the care in industry and able to sure up that and making sure whether it is seniors or young children that there is a support system and understanding there are gaps in that regard, and also thinking about it in

the connection to jobs guarantees and understanding that when we plan sometimes for our workforce development training programs, that there is still a gap fill and that people are being penalized to going back to learn and become more self-sufficient so thank the treasurerophilus for the leadership in the work but want to make sure as we continue this work that we are intentional, that we are thinking about how to collaborate and that we are not duplicateing the wheel but actually supporting and leveraging the work already been done. thank you. >> thank you mrs. suzy smith and director davis and najel for your presentation today. i think one thing and dont know who would like to comment on this, but it sounds like we have a number of

different pilot programs going already in san francisco. maybe najel or director davis you can talk about it, but it would be nice to hear-you mentioned abundant birth project but sounds like there's a few that are already happening. maybe you can spend a couple minutes talking about those that are already in motion and then the coordination effort you are talking about. >> i will let tagel-there are over a dozen city wide right now and so there is the arts yurba buena has been leading. several smaller ones embedded within department so there is one through the dream keeper initiative one specifically for entrepreneurs. there is also one that we have within our department where we have been working on it. several around violence prevention

and safety one with the police department that is paying and you all may have seen the presentation before focused on high risk or people involved in violent crimes and being able to keep them from returning into that so we have been using that as a incentive to have people do that. we also have one mislabeled cash for criminals that got lots of negative attention so there are quite a few that run the gamut that are for the abundant birth project mentioned for pregnant and parenting black and sonoma or pacific islander women so quite a few. what we are working on now that we have been intentional about at the hrc is first documenting that to share the list we have with you, but also trying to understand how we measure success and then the other piece is that we heard from folks $500 a month in san francisco is not a lot, and so that deeper investment can look

like more then expanding the number of people we serve, maybe going deeper with the amount of money we give to understand the real impact so we want to play arond with some of that but t tagel may have more information. >> thank you so much. i believe dr. davis covered the gamut of it. we have many embedded in oewd as dr. davis stated. many are focus said on entrepreneur so thinking about working with individuals and moving them into jobs as one of the key pieces as well as birth project as we heard about in addition we have other departments that are starting. we have one with (inaudible) that is about to start in october. there are discussions with the women (inaudible) and the one that suzy smith spoke about of hsa and the large program funded in partnership with the state so there are quite a gamut. i

think they would all be fair to say the way they address the definition is all a little varied so it is one reason why the coordinated effort spoken about is something critical to look at as well as research connected to that. >> great. so, yes, i just know that was in the report there were over a dozen pilots happening right now. it is one reason why i think we need to further the conversation about a main coordinator and insuring that efforts are not duplicated but also coordinated. i think that is a really important thing so i wanted to get that on the record today. wanted to give anyone in the audience and any member of the audience from the advisory group in the room to speak before we go to public comment but i know supervisor mar has a comment that he wanted to make. >> go ahead supervisor mar. >> thank you

supervisor safai and chair ronen. first of all i wanted to thank everyone that is a part of this very thoughtful and important process and guaranteed income advisory group and i really appreciate how we as a city have approached this really innovative and important new economic security justice strategy in a comprehensive way across city departments and key stakeholders getting input through a great process to come up with this set of recommendations and appreciate the-how the think big framing on this and how we need to think beyond just important pilots and that are starting up and scaling up, but also expanding and

strengthening cash supports in different ways, particularly through advocacy on the state level. appreciate all of this. i had just a question. i wanted to understand, it is great we already started up a number of pilots here in the city and these are exciting and important, but based on the recommendations and on all the work of the advisory group over looks like about a year long process or more, are there-what are the priority pilots that we are looking at coming up and i think suzy did you touch on that in the presentation? >> i touched on one which is the largest. in the budget last year the state of california allocated $35 million to gi pilots

across the state so it it the first of the kind in the nation in terms of this large public investment and so we are-as mentioned one of the prioritized population is foster youth exiting the system so we have been doing a lot of planning and working with foster youth and experts arond what that design would look like and we are going to in our application going to put forth for a thousand or $1200 a month for 18 months to have two different cycles and we dedicated-there a local match requirement so we dedicated $2 million from hsa budget for next fiscal year to meet that match requirement to be able to be part of the state wide network that is building the narrative change and momentum to have many of these and have more data to be able to advocate for large scale adoption. that's-and we are supporting others that come to us worried about the benefit piece and implications

and don't want to tell families they need to decide between cal works and guaranteed income payment so playing the supportive role (inaudible) so, we developed a template and helping organizations interested in that support as well. >> thank you. that sounds really great to hear about the foster youth focus and it is part of a state wide initiative too, so thank you. >> if i could just add i would say the one reason why we need coordinated is because at this point there is no centralized. it is every department will come to you and say, you should fund my thing or my thing is right and so i think that's the most important critical piece for this is that the challenge for some of this is around as we make these pilots and are

think about it, what is the actual-what is the data tell in terms how many people will be served or how much money we have or what does the equity look like because we make focus doing something with artists but if we have millions of dollars to spend on artist and only have 10 artists doest that make sense? how dewe make sure it isn't just about what we have access to but what the needs are and where the needs are and i think without a centralized way to do that that it will just be us listening to really great ideas and going with that because they are great ideas but when we line them all up, we may need to pivot. >> thank you. just couple other questions. >> sure, go ahead. >> i was just trying to understand the current thinking around the difference

between guaranteed income programs and compared to other types of direct cash assistance. there is direct cash assistance to very low income individuals. we also have wage subsidy programs for-to raise wages for low paid workers, particularly now with child care workers in our city, and then there is also stipends i know sometimes included in workerse foprograms to allow the participants to be able to focus on the program. i'm trying to understand maybe the difference between those types of direct cash assistance to folks with a very specific objective and guaranteed income

programs. >> thank you supervisor for the question. i think there is a couple pieces. one is you saw from the third recommendation reinforcing other kinds of policy initiative that help so that is included in cash programs, tax exemption, assistant programs that are alsofunded by the government and so guaranteed income or cash assistance isn't a substitution to those but augmentation and the definition gronded on instead of model of no string attached. predictable, ist canant, on going and no strings attach so that is the piece that improved their economical being and provides them the agency to move forward as they choose, because it is not connect ed to strings and predictable known and sustained duration. >> thank you. what is the amount of monthly

direct cash assistance or the range i guess for the guaranteed income programs. >> the range i have been familiar at the lowest end is $500 a month but as dr. davis pointed out no one can be supported by that. the application we are going to submit with $1200 a month highest i heard of. hsh they are also piloting a direct cash transfer program for people who dont qualify for public-subsidized housing, but are in the problem solving stage so to help with housing stability but also no strings attached so that is also around $1200 a month. >> just quick clr fayication, the abundant birth project ranged from a thousand to $1500 a month. >> thank you. very important work that you are doing so thank you all for your

work and for all the recommendations. i would love to be added as a cosponsor to the item as well. thank you. >> i just wanted to say that the fact it is the three of you leading and this project gives me much excitement and calm, because you all three of you are just such incredible leaders in your respective fields and this is such an important program and getting this right and getting this coordinated throughout the city could make a difference on whether or not we can keep any diversity of income in this city, and many people so i want to appreciate you all, tell how excited i am that the three of you at the helm and just tell you i'm incredibly excited and supportive of this

work. thank you. and i too would lairk like to be added as cosponsor. >> great. thank you. one thing i think is the most important-not the most important but a important point to highlight and think i heard all you reference that today is the narrative change and the change in the language around guaranteed income. it has gone through a arduous conversation and discussion about poverty, how we approach it, how we talk about it, and how we reframe it. wanted to give a opportunity from any members of the public involved in the advisory group and i think jim is here, so give him a opportunity to speak before we go to public comment. >> thank you. jim hue codirector universal income project and member of guaranteed income advisory group. i just want to start by saying it was a great experience to participate in the group. i felt we really were able to delve

into what this would mean for san franciscans, what does it require to get this right and have the most (inaudible) again, to explore how transformative the potential is when you do give money with no strings attached ongoing away to allow people to plan for the future to be able in the driver seat of their lives so to be able to chart the path to challenges they are facing. i would echo all the recommendations we heard so far. what is discussed here has great potential to lead to incredible policy changes in san francisco and particularly stress the point come up around bringing people closest to the problem into the planning phaseism we want to make sure the people who really understand what is going on are there at the table at every step of the process and actually thinking through what is the design, how teat good it

right. far too often public policy is designed room of people who didn't have a good understanding what was happening on the streets and i think that we have a opportunity here to really get this right and we are lucky to have great examples. the abundant berth project went through extensive community design process and lots to learn what they have done but those in the ongoing administration around the program and pilots and policies able to take advantage of that lived expertise there is huge potential there and eager to see that move forward. thank you. >> thank you jim. can we open up public comment? >> yes, please. >> yes, members who wish to speak line up now to speak. for those listening remotely

call 415-655-0001. once connected press star 3 to enter the speaker line. for those in the queue wait until the system endicates you have been unmuted. there is a queue to begin comments. as we have no further speakers here in the chamber, mr. atkins please unmute the first caller. >> supervisors have been paying attention to this guaranteed income advisory group and establishing a city policy in support of guaranteed income, but i want you supervisors to tell me what the hell are you doing with affordable housing? people cant live under a roof.

so, if you dont have a roof how can you apply for guaranteed income? it is a shame that middle class people are living in tents all overour city and then we have the director of the human rights commission with these two women and one woman says $500 and the other woman comes to the mic and says no it is $1500. who is (inaudible) in broad daylight? we once had the bayview coordinating council. we have the black leadership council of san francisco. we have the environmental justice advocacy. we have southeast sector community development corporation. we serve the people. city and county of san francisco to put (inaudible) in

our way. take money and give to innercircle rather then the community and you bring these women here and you bring the director of the human rights commission who is now involved in gimmicks at the chase center and trying to hoodwink us in broad daylight. shame on you. stop bringing the gimmicks to our attention and wasting our time. >> thank you for your comments. and madam chair that completes the queue. >> public comment is closed. supervisor safai. >> i thought maybe one day we could have mr. decosta come in and talk about something positive on the record and it would be something positive arond guaranteed income but he can take anything positive and turn it into a negative. normally i don't comment on public comment but couldn't help myself this time because this is such a

important topic. but anyway, i'm sure i'll get a ear full from him. i think we might have britany (inaudible) on the line. i just want to double check mr. clerk. is she online? >> i do not see her log on. >> okay, wanted to double check to make sure. so, thank you madam chair for letting us have this hearing. i know we have a lot we are catching up on. i ink this is is a important topic. i want to thank director davis, joe, suzy for the amazing work that you all have done. this is such a important topic and if anything i think covid really highlight ed a lot of disparity already there, underscored it and motivated to do better and underscored the need what is out there and how we

mobilize during covid how we have impact. whether right to recover or cash assistance for food or intervention for child care. all the things and wonderful projects that have begin so sometimes out of crisis we can have something really positive as a result. want to thank jim, all the advisory group members that contributesed to this and everyone that has come out today to support the progress. we made significant strides. really encouraged suzy to hear about the foster youth pilot project. that is going to be amazing and as you know, there the correlation between and they have the highest risk becoming homeless and unhoused in the transition so sure that is a lot of what the research and focus is about so i really appreciate hsa focusing on that community. to mr. decasta

points we are doing transitional youth age housing throughout the city. we have a number of beds being created for transitional age youth. that is a priority for the body in supportive housing so we will see that happen and are expand and it will fit nicely with this pilot project because the project begins in my district and other parts of the city. over the summer recess we will work on the goal bringing back legislation in the fall and focus on centralization and coordination, so want to thank everyone today. with that, madam chair i like to move forward that we snd this resolution to the full board with positive recommendation. >> can we have a roll call vote? >> on that motion by vice chair safai resolution forward to the full board with positive

department overall or ongoing street tree plan and strategy. is this replacing--where is the work currently happening right now? how would this new facility increase our-the department or city capacity to nurture and plant more trees in the city? >> thank you supervisor mar. this is part of the effort to expand street tree planting city wide in san francisco and by creating a street tree nursery-a main region is the public works maintenance yard on cesar chavez we have very little area to store trees for planting and no space to grow trees so this will allow to store and manage and stage trees for planting

activities we are intending to increase over the coming years and in addition many trees we wish to plant in san francisco are not common in the commercial nursery trade, so this includes native trees we would like to plant more of in san francisco and also trees we are more well acclimated to the local climate to allow us to avoid some of the sourcing problems we had with trees. that will contribute and also just the goals in terms of educating the public, this is a high visibility location and will allow to celebrate urban forestry in san francisco and crebt to the greening of south of market neighborhood and environmental justice impact of the free way. this is a early part of the plan to increase street tree planting over the years as we grow trees and cycle through more trees for planting as we hope to generate more funding for tree planting with the help of the board over the coming years.

>> absolutely. i'm really committed to supporting that expansion of the street tree planting and to meet our urban forestry plan goals. is this-is this the first-department first dedicated street tree nursery? i want to understand the significance of this and up to now the department just use spaces at existing facilities for other purposes for storage and nurturing of trees? >> yes, this is a first for us. we have not been growing trees ourselves. other departments have done that, i believe rec park and many native plant nurseries but public works has not operated a nursery for street trees so this is a new venture. >> very exciting. i also love the environmental education and the connection to the south of

>> good morning everyone. thank you all so much for being here today to mark the completion of the all new southeast family health center. [applause] >> yeah. my name is carla short the entroom director for san francisco public works and i have the honor kicking off the festivities. i'll turn it over to mayor breed in a moment but ypt to tell you one thing that stuck out for me for this project and that is teamwork. this is a collaborative effort from start to finish. public works lead design project management and construction

management and worked very closely with the department of public health, which will operate this amazing facility, a clinic that plays a critical control in the bayview and san francisco neighborhood health center network. the arts community helped enrich interior can art work and local agencies and initiative helped pitch in with funding. we had more then 40 contractors collaborate on this project and much of the labor came from local residents. it is always great to see when a project can help support jobs in our community. the driving force of course have been the community members who made sure the city delivered. the community partnership has been the foundation of this project success. and i reallypt to note the beautiful glass wall that is designed to welcome the community to this building. this is meant to be a building for the community. -thank you. yes. [applause] i doopt to take a moment to thank some of our

great public works teams who helped shepherd the project along. some of the key players include our city architect ron alameda who is here. the bureau of architectural manager julia loe also here. the project architect charles king and richard gee. i know i saw charles earlier. the lead design architect, greta jones. project manager, (inaudible) and construction manager (inaudible) ed ryan. from the drawing work to work on side the project managem construction helped make the important project come to life creating spaces that bring people together and express community vision for itself. thank you also to the fantastic artists and i hope everyone will get a chance to see the beautiful art inside.

(inaudible) yes. [applause] ron sanders and william rodes who contributions have infused beauty culture and love into this project. and finally, i want to thank san francisco voters who support of the health band was crucial. so, that thank you everyone who played such an important part in the amazing project and i like to invite mayor breed who has shown incredible leadership during the pandemic and throughout her tenure and amplified the importance of our public health system. madam mayor. [applause] >> thank you carla and you had me at on time and under budget. really excited about the new southeast family health center that is finally i believe a dream realized. in

fact, a lot of the work that former supervisor sophie maxwell did while on the board of supervisors and i want a member of the redevelopment agency commission with all the stuff going on here and oscar james would come to the meetings and fight for this community and the fact that we are starting to finally realize a lot of the promises made to the bayview, a lot of the decisions that we are making have everything to do with input of the people of this community and it has taken a long time, but here we are. we know how important having a community health center is. in fact during the global pandemic with a lot of uncertainty and fear, part of the work we did into the emergency response had everything to do with the southeast health center that is located there and they were able to work with us

to set up a place to do testing and when the time came for the vaccine they were the place that first got the vaccine in order to serve this community. but more importantly, to make sure that we work with the community. that we provide the resources and part of that is making sure that we are coming together not that we are dictating what should happen in the community but how we work together in order to make these things possible. and i want to take us back a little bit, yes, these bonds that the voters passed on a regular basis help us to build projects like this and this bond passed in 2016, which not only made it possible for the southeast health family health center here we built from scratch, which is a beautiful building, but it also made it possible for us to remodel max ine hall in the fillmore making sure people in the community get

services. half the people served in the facility next door are african american. over 40 percent are people from the bayview hunter point community so we know when we build it they will come because we know the need is so critical in this community to make sure there is a place within close proximity of where you live, a place you can come and a place that is culturally sensitive about the needs of our community. i'm glad and excited about this and looking forward to seeing this place, become not just a place you come when things when you are having problems but a place you come for preventative care. a place you come to canggregate and hang out like the george davis senior home and i see cathy davis here. we know community is so important and this new health facility is about community, and i love the fact that 3 african american men artist who are part of the

amazing community in san francisco had a opportunity to showcase not object their art but their art as reflection of the community so this truly is your southeast health center here in the bayview hunters point. [applause] i know everybody is anxious to get in here and get a back seat or-vaccine or booster or get things checked out. it is okay, doctor, privilege. none of your business will be in the street so dont worry about that. before we get started and cut the ribbon and get this place open to the public, i want to introduce the supervisor for your district, the president of the board of supervisors, walton. [applause] >> thank you so much madam mayor. good morning everybody! this truly is an

exciting day for us in bayview hunters point. before i say a few words i want to pay homage to the folks who made sure we had a health center. some may recall we were getting sent to silver. some may recall the health system saying we can go over places to receive services but we had giant fight to make sure this health center existed in our community. i want to say a few names and know i'll miss names and some will curse me after i get off the podium. a lot of people fought to make sure we had this new health center. they served orn advisory committee, put in hours and time to make sure this happen. (inaudible) carpenter. thank you for your work. he looks younger then i am even though he has been

doing this decades. commissioner richardson. dr. jackson. my aunt, williams and so many community giants oscar james and a lot of folks are depicted on the quilt you will see inside so when you get a chance to look at the amazing art the mayor talked about, make sure you look at the art, try to understand the history behind it because so many fought for this to happen. if i didn't mention your name understand i love you and charge to my head not my heart. i want to give a big shout to supervisor maxwell and supervisor cohen for there process of making this happen. as i had a chansh to take a tour earlier and look at the services that are going to be offered to our patients here ing the district and the growth having our own x-ray

machines and x-ray techs on site. private exam rooms and brand new facilities and making sure people understand you are cared about in the community and do everything we can to make sure you have the amenities and things you deserve and we know health care is a basic right so i thank dpw for the work on the building, department of public health for their work with community to make this happen because this work only happens when folks come together and realize that when you make noise, things can happen and most certainly that is what the community did. that is why we ended up here today and i appreciate that. as i see james richards who -mayor breed honored him with a day a few years ago and put up a billboard because of all the work he did putting people to work on facilities and buildings like this. it is important we remember and recognize how we all got here and the work that took

place to get here. thank all you for showing up and community. thank you for supporting the work and vision of making sure that we have the proper health care in the communities because we have the biggest disparities in health care as a black population so we have to make sure we have facilities, the care and programs ing place to address those health disparities. we love you, appreciate you and look at this new full facility. come in and take a tour after this press conference. thank you so much. [applause] my apologies--as the mayor talked about when this pandemic started, we were one of the first communities to step up and say we need testing right in our very own community. one of the first communities to step up and say we need vaccinations in our community and work closely with department of public health who did respond and heed

the call and thank the leadership of dr. colfax and seeing the project through fruition so have the honor and privileged introduced the department head lead for department of public health, dr. colfax. >> thank you and good morning everybody. it is great to be here and thank you mayor breed and thank you president walton. thank you dpw. acting director short for your work and it is amazing what is accomplished when community government came together and i just got a tour of the building and it is so incredibly inspiring. the physical spaces where we deliver care really matter. the quality of the building, the artwork on the wall and design and layout contribute to long-term health. there are few american cities that provide this level of direct care to the

residents and deeply proud of the network 13 clinics including this new state of the art building. in particularly the southeast family health center is a special place with service few neighborhood clinics have and already mentioned we now have-will be having x-ray on site, so you can get care when you need it, not have to go to another place to go to another place to get something. we have a new facility where we will be doing on-site optomry for eye exams. we call this low barrier access but is saying we are doing everything we can together to make it easy and convenient for people to get the medical serveess where they need it, where they need it all in one location and our first patients will be receiving care in this facility later this month. and

already mentioned, this center is here today because generations of wisdom and community activism. the bayview community came together and fought hard for federalfunding, which allows the initial building to be established back in 1979. i know a lot of people have been doing the work and also want to specifically thank mrs. olly burgess for her leadership and advocacy for the health scepter and shaped the new facility behind us today is a legacy of her incredible leadership. and this is a busy clinic. we serve over 4,000 patients a year and this new health center renews and expands the commit to help equity brings services for where they are needed most. i want to thank you who are part of the legacy including and especially our patient advocacy groups. because of

the success of the clinic and the new building is because of the care you provide and relationships you built. the future is bright and i do want to personally thank the dph team for their work including cathy jones. cathy i dont know if you are here but thank you for your work on that. to lisa (inaudible) and kate kim and long-term medical director keith seidel who mentioned 4 medical directors were involved created the building and entire ambulatory team. now it is my great pleasure to introduce a key leader and member of our southeast health center advisory board member oscar james. mr. james we met pre-pandemic in the old building where the board was meeting and i have to say it is astoubding this project came on time on budget because of you and others during a

pandemic. that is just incredible, so it is a honor to work with you and thank you for your support and leadership, because of you the gap in health care services you were so key in organizing to build the original southeast health clinic and because of your vision and leadership we are here today to inaugerate the new building so mr. james, my pleasure. please. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. they already said my name so everyone know that already. but i want to say a couple things about my board members who are present right now. i like everyone to stand so everyone can see them. those who stand and raise your hand. these are the people who really made this possible.

(inaudible) who played a very important part in this community. we have a plaque with numerous people in the community. a lot of people are missing but one thing i want you to focus on is the young men for action was the group in this community. when we started in 1966 during the riots, we made sure people in the community got jobs first and we only have 2 or 3 members left, which is james richards and dr. mayberry on the quilt. what i say to you young brothers and sisters in the community, if you say this is

your community, fight and do something for your community. we started at the age of 18 years old. 18 years old and we started with clubs. people talking about club, people are bad and all this and that. we only are this because of the vanguards. the south boys. the sheiks. they were the ones who made all this possible. you say this is your community, then act like it is your community, stop killing each other and come together and build the community for your kids. we are old g's now. we are old g's. i'm 76 year olds. i started at 18. it is you guys turn to do this now. it is your turn. if you dont step up to the plate all this is in vain. stop the killing. we dont need that. we need to know our history in the community, how the chinese, how the blacks, how the mexican americans made this community what it is today. with that, i

>> so the march started in 2004, there was a lot of action going on at the time against transgender people. so an email thread went around and everybody decided to meet

here at the loweris park and really send out the message to the community that we're here and just because the legislation does not validify who we are, we are still here and we deserve to be loved and empowered. >> so for me trans march is a safe place where i will not be quiet and i can be unapologetic against my trans siblings to be in the community and say okay, you can bring yourself to the safe places. we're normal human beings and we can exist.

>> this is one of the largest trans marches that happens in the world and this space is ours. we can at least have one day where we are seen and not over shadowed by the greater pride, hostilities everywhere. trans march means so much to me. but it means so much more for me and my community. >> we really felt it was important to have a special day just for transgender people where we can have our voices lifted up and specifically seen.

>> after coming, i feel so proud of this place and also this whole movement. this joy is strong. so maybe trans march that is a lot of joy. >> my partner is transgender and you know ,z we've been together for 25 years. and i learned a lot about trans generaleder and her what it means to be transgender. to give people pride of who they are they are beautiful and an important part of society and they should have equal rights.

>> for me being here is an act of celebrating myself and feeling okay in my own skin. >>ed we have a lot of momentum here at trans mart, we have a lot of community for support from our sponsor to our tal ept, everybody is happy to support this event because we all want to be together and after two years of not being able to be together this year, people were especially excited.
