[applause] >> our team is proud to be providing residential care and supportive services in san francisco residents. we would like to thank mayor london breed for her leadership, thank you. [applause] as well as all the support she provide not only to our project but all of the new mental health services provided for resident in san francisco. also big thank you to governor newsome for recognizing they need to help with mental illness and funding needed now jc my partner in this project. >> i'm sorry i would like it introduce john. then jc. good morning, thank you for being here.

i like to i had a chance to reflect on our journey from the day we saw this property and tour to today with the beautiful facility. we would not be here today if the board did not pass the controls and legislation which protected board and care facilities. the protections made it difficult or impossible for developer to purchase board and care and change the use to something else. this legislation was introduced by supervisor mandelman who is here today and supervisor ronnin. mental health and homeless issues the top of their priorities. without the protections, we would be standing next to 2 single family homes or market rate condos instead of 46 rehab beds for the vulnerable. we would not be here without mayor breed willing to tackle the big issues. the city's funding of mental health and homeless issues.

you got a tough job. and the mir's office was helpful in getting this over the finish line. i spoke to the governor about 10 days ago talked about the 225 bed facility in san pablo in 2021 the 46 facility here and 150 bed facility in southern california. i thanked him for the care courts and the state pundz funding directored to the issues. however, for most of the efforts to be successful, we need more rehab beds like the ones we are opening today in the continuum of care. these beds familiar general beds likely allow sf general and other acute settings to open beds to get more people off the streets and into care. and the [inaudible] we strife to provide would be an excellent stop for a person headed to but not yet ready for permanent spicht housing.

this is where private/public partner ships with make a change we look forward to the continued work with the mayor's office and the state of california to make lives better. thank you. [applause]. >> thank you, john and beny. thank you mayor and supervisor mandelman. a bit of background we are excited provide the frisk beds. the 46 bed facility with service john and betty referred to. we acquire third degree property over 2 years ago in january of 2020 before the pandemic. it was a neglected former boarding care vacant before we bought it. the likely aisle was condos or high end housing. we saw the potential to rehab in a high quality facility for san francisco's most vulnerable. the challenge was preserved the buildings historical vicktoryian

quality and delivering a new facility inside. i want to thank our inhouse team and open scope and mark, danny who are here. our construction partners it u. and [inaudible] financial support as our lendser. they stepped up to support construction loan in the earth months in the pandemic when many banks had with drawn from the market. we have a license in hand and yesterday our final other certificate of occupancy. thank you, everybody. [applause]. thank you we would like to welcome mayor london breed. [applause] >> there are a lot of folk who is know that i was born and raise in the san francisco and my grand mother raised me. i grew up in the house with my

grand mother's daughter who are had a disability and constantly struggle when my grand mother developed dement why and someone needed to care for my aunt it was challenging dealing with the system. fortunately, for my aunt she had family. people this supported her because, trust me, had she not had us looking out for her she would be on the streets. not able to take care of herself. and in fact, what i appreciate most about the w this we are doing now is that provides an opportunity for to yous support a community that may not have relatives or support to help a system with being able to live a productive life. i appreciate so many of the great organizations in san francisco i worked with over the years. but also we know it takes a village. when i became a member of the

board of supervisors, we had a number of the individuals in our community. there was a gentlemen who i was very familiar with his family and than i watched their father decline significant low to the point where they struggled. and i tried assist them in getting a bit of conservership for their family member, it was a long process. a struggle. sadly t did in the help and unfortunately, their father passed away and died on the streets alone. them should in the happen in a place like san francisco. i other than that there are a lot of people who believe in you know just people having the rights to decide what they want to do with their lives but this is complicated. there are people who can't necessarily, i will tell you from experience about my aunt, can't even decide how to pay her rent. and to figure out the basic

things when she needs to buy. i would sends her to the store to pick up things, yes, then she would spends the money on things she was not supposed to. it was a constant struggle trying to take care of her. it is so much more complicated. when i became mayor, it was important to me that we look at mental health and start to talk about it like we do any other challenge. and we look at our portfolio and behavioral health beds. what will happen is someone in the past before the street crisis response team someone get a 911 call. there was someone going in and out of traffic. taking the general and released walking around weapon no help or support and people wonder. what are we doing wrong. why are we not transitioning

them to a place so they can live a product of lifelike everyone else. we added more besd. we reached 2, 200 beds in 2019 and made a commitment to add 400 more in our portfolio a 20% increase we identified the challenges and needs are and how we can provide these opportunity for people who are struggling. we appreciate so much partners like a & arc health service because we can't do this work alone. we need partner and need people who will make this place a home. so that when someone who is may be provide service through our street crisis sponse team they ends up at general, they may end up at hummingbird but what is next. this is next. this gives stability. gives support to people who need support. and it helps to map out hat next

stage s. is it programs like golden gate regional. like the art. is it programs that help them to sustain their lives with dignity sne i appreciate being here and in fact, this is one of the most beautiful behavioral health homes i have seen in san francisco. so, i know that the people here are going to appreciate that. and they will appreciate also not only where they live and how beautiful it is but that they are treated with respectful you know this they are able to maintain their dignity so we can help get them to the next level this long with the other great things we are trying to do in san francisco, are going to be a game changer. again, we thank you for being here and thank a & a health services and the department of public health and behavioral health team for all the w they have done and will continue to

do to make sure that we are not leaving people out on the street in crisis and giving them the care and support they need. thank you so much.

delayed a bit bite pandemic but in 2021, we added 89 new beds alone. and we anticipate adding additionaling 90 new bedos line soon with 70 new bed this is month alone in august of 2022. great progress there this issan a model of care not only a way of figuring out how to get this done on the ground but [inaudible] and it it is this type of state of the art facility allows us to meet people where they are and new way and addressing the challenges that so many people have on their journey to recovery. this is a part of the system that we are building the system of behavioral health care. from the acute needs of people to stabilizing them to the journey of independent living and having the resources

available for people thshg is a chronic relapsing cannot resources available to meet people where they are treatment on demand and ensuring people get when they need when they need it and the appropriate level but it is also the appropriate environment. and this environment here today is so exciting for us to see 46 more beds. i'm thrilled. thank you again for having us here today. thank you for the partnership and with that i will turn it over to supervisor mandelman. thank you.

illness and electric therapy and every treatment known and never really stabilized she needed to be in place like this for this time. i fear that if she had been in san francisco in 2022, she might not have been in a place and have been out on the sidewalk. it is person for a lot of us. i know like once you have the conversations with people this is in the an unusual experience. and i then and there some folks involved with a & a have personal experience this drives them. and you know i think that it is a critical need in san francisco's critical need today. you know the backgrounds we lost 500 board and care beds the last dvenlgdz 50 facilities the market has not been helping us. and the same time, we have tremendous human needs and really fundsamentally we need better responses on the street and appropriate for accomplices

for people to land you know when we engage with them on the street. we want more of those to lead to coming off of the sidewalk and insdpoors can't do that without facilities like this. i'm optimist thick is a great morning i'm optimistic about san francisco and want to thank jc and john and betty for having the vision and for you know i love our nonprofit partners they are critical to us. we need all hand's on deck. having a player that is interested and figuring out whether they can move from the elevator care space to this space and take care of the nonelderly adult who is need help is exciting and it was a joy to which tour the facility and a joy to help in the little legislative ways we can. i hope this works limp i hope you are down for doing more. thanks, everybody.

i'm currently an h2 firefighter for the san francisco fire department. i served active duty in the navy. i wanted something that was going to be in the medical field, but not necessarily stay in a hospital setting and i didn't want to stay in an office and this job kind of combines everything i was looking for. everyday's different. there's always something new and to learn. and my first introduction to the department was being surrounded by people of the lgbtq community. and so we were able to get, you know, it just made things a little more comfortable that you could talk to people about things that people necessarily wouldn't understand. i've had to hide myself. able to come out. being able to understand many his and being able to do things in had that sense, it's very liberating to be able to speak like this, this city in

particular, it's a mecca for the lgbtq+ community. you know, there's so much history behind it and being part of this community that now accepting us for who we are and what we do, we're able to just be ourselves. any time somebody finds out i am a member of the gay community, i don't get anybody talking about me, nothing at all. it's just oh, cool. you have a partner? like yes, i do. they start asking about that and how my life is. you become part of the family and here in the san francisco fire department it really is just one big family. you know, it was my dream to be a san francisco fire department member and i'm here. dev mission's goal is

aiming to train young adults, youth so we can be a wealth and disparity in underserved communities like where we are today. my name is leo sosa. i'm the founder and executive director for devmission. we're sitting inside a computer lab where residents come and get support when they give help about how to set up an e-mail account. how to order prescriptions online. create a résumé. we are also now paying attention to provide tech support. we have collaborated with the san francisco mayor's office and the department of technology to implement a broad band network for the residents

here so they can have free internet access. we have partnered with community technology networks to provide computer classes to the seniors and the residents. so this computer lab becomes a hub for the community to learn how to use technology, but that's the parents and the adults. we have been able to identify what we call a stem date. the acronym is science technology engineering and math. kids should be exposed no matter what type of background or ethnicity or income status. that's where we actually create magic. >> something that the kids are really excited about is science and so the way that we execute that is through making slime. and as fun as it is, it's still a chemical reaction and you start to understand that with the materials that you need to make the slime. >> they love adding their

little twists to everything. it's just a place for them to experiment and that's really what we want. >> i see. >> really what the excitement behind that is that you're making something. >> logs, legos, sumo box, art, drawing, computers, mine craft, and really it's just awaking opportunity. >> keeping their attention is like one of the biggest challenges that we do have because, you know, they're kids. they always want to be doing something, be helping with something. so we just let them be themselves. we have our set of rules in place that we have that we want them to follow and live up to. and we also have our set of expectations that we want them to achieve. this is like my first year officially working with kids. and definitely i've had moments where they're not getting something. they don't really understand it and you're trying to just talk to them in a way that they can make it work teaching them in

different ways how they can get the light bulb to go off and i've seen it first-hand and it makes me so happy when it does go off because it's like, wow, i helped them understand this concept. >> i love playing games and i love having fun with my friends playing dodge ball and a lot of things that i like. it's really cool. >> they don't give you a lot of cheese to put on there, do they? you've got like a little bit left. >> we learn programming to make them work. we do computers and programming. at the bottom here, we talk to them and we press these buttons

to make it go. and this is to turn it off. and this is to make it control on its own. if you press this twice, it can do any type of tricks. like you can move it like this and it moves. it actually can go like this. >> like, wow, they're just absorbing everything. so it definitely is a wholehearted moment that i love experiencing. >> the realities right now, 5.3 latinos working in tech and about 6.7 african americans working in tech. and, of course, those tech companies are funders. so i continue to work really hard with them to close that gap and work with the san francisco unified school district so juniors and seniors

come to our program, so kids come to our stem hub and be exposed to all those things. it's a big challenge. >> we have a couple of other providers here on site, but we've all just been trying to work together and let the kids move around from each department. some kids are comfortable with their admission, but if they want to jump in with city of dreams or hunter's point, we just try to collaborate to provide the best opportunity in the community. >> devmission has provided services on westbrook. they teach you how to code. how to build their own mini robot to providing access for the youth to partnerships with adobe and sony and google and twitter. and so devmission has definitely brought access for our families to resources that our residents may or may not

have been able to access in the past. >> the san francisco house and development corporation gave us the grant to implement this program. it hasn't been easy, but we have been able to see now some of the success stories of some of those kids that have been able to take the opportunity and continue to grow within their education and eventually become a very successful citizen. >> so the computer lab, they're doing the backpacks. i don't know if you're going to be able to do the class. you still want to try? . yeah. go for it. >> we have a young man by the name of ivan mello. he came here two and a half years ago to be part of our digital arts music lab. graduating with natural, fruity loops, rhymes. all of our music lyrics are clean. he came as an intern, and now

he's running the program. that just tells you, we are only creating opportunities and there's a young man by the name of eduardo ramirez. he tells the barber, what's that flyer? and he says it's a program that teaches you computers and art. and i still remember the day he walked in there with a baseball cap, full of tattoos. nice clean hair cut. i want to learn how to use computers. graduated from the program and he wanted to work in i.t.. well, eduardo is a dreamer. right. so trying to find him a job in the tech industry was very challenging, but that didn't stop him. through the effort of the office of economic work force and the grant i reached out to a few folks i know.

post mates decided to bring him on board regardless of his legal status. he ended his internship at post mates and now is at hudacity. that is the power of what technology does for young people that want to become part of the tech industry. what we've been doing, it's very innovative. helping kids k-12, transitional age youth, families, parents, communities, understand and to be exposed to stem subjects. imagine if that mission one day can be in every affordable housing community. the opportunities that we would create and that's what i'm trying to do with this

>> we are right now in outer richmond in the last business area of this city. this area of merchants is in the most western part of san francisco, continue blocks down the street they're going to fall into the pacific ocean. two blocks over you're going to have golden gate park. there is japanese, chinese, hamburgers, italian, you don't have to cook. you can just walk up and down the street and you can get your cheese. i love it. but the a very multicultural place with people from everywhere. it's just a wonderful environment. i love the richmond district. >> and my wife and i own a café

we have specialty coffee drinks, your typical lattes and mochas and cappuccinos, and for lunches, sandwiches and soup and salad. made fresh to order. we have something for everybody >> my shop is in a very cool part of the city but that's one of the reasons why we provide such warm and generous treats, both physically and emotionally (♪♪) >> it's an old-fashioned general store. they have coffee. other than that what we sell is fishing equipment. go out and have a good time. >> one of my customers that has been coming here for years has always said this is my favorite store. when i get married i'm coming in your store. and then he in his wedding outfit and she in a beautiful dress came in here in between

getting married at lands end and to the reception, unbelievable. (♪♪) >> the new public health order that we're announcing will require san franciscans to remain at home with exceptions only for essential outings. >> when the pandemic first hit we kind of saw the writing on the walls that potentially the city is going to shut all businesses down. >> it was scary because it was such an unknown of how things were going to pan out. i honestly thought that this might be the end of our business.

we're just a small business and we still need daily customers. >> i think that everybody was on edge. nobody was untouched. it was very silent. >> as a business owner, you know, things don't just stop, right? you've still got your rent, and all of the overhead, it's still there. >> there's this underlying constant sense of dread and anxiety. it doesn't prevent you from going to work and doing your job, it doesn't stop you from doing your normal routine. what it does is just make you feel extra exhausted. >> so we began to reopen one year later, and we will emerge stronger, we will emerge better as a city, because we are still here and we stand in solidarity

with one another. >> this place has definitely been an anchor for us, it's home for us, and, again, we are part of this community and the community is part of us. >> one of the things that we strived for is making everyone in the community feel welcome and we have a sign that says "you're welcome." no matter who you are, no matter what your political views are, you're welcome here. and it's sort of the classic san francisco thing is that you work with folks. >> it is your duty to help everybody in san francisco.

when i shoot chinatown, i shoot the architecture that people not just events, i shoot what's going on in daily life and everything changes. murals, graffiti, store opening. store closing. the bakery. i shoot anything and everything in chinatown. i shoot daily life. i'm a crazy animal. i'm shooting for fun. that's what i love. >> i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer for the last i think about 20

years. i joined the chinese historical society. it was a way i could practice my society and i can give the community memories. i've been practicing and get to know everybody and everybody knew me pretty much documenting the history i don't just shoot events. i'm telling a story in whatever photos that i post on facebook, it's just like being there from front to end, i do a good job and i take hundreds and hundreds of photos. and i was specializing in chinese american history. i want to cover what's happening in chinatown. what's happening in my community. i shoot a lot of government officials. i probably have thousands of photos of mayor lee and all the

dignitaries. but they treat me like one of the family members because they see me all the time. they appreciate me. even the local cops, the firemen, you know, i feel at home. i was born in chinese hospital 1954. we grew up dirt poor. our family was lucky to grew up. when i was in junior high, i had a degree in hotel management restaurant. i was working in the restaurant business for probably about 15 years. i started when i was 12 years old. when i got married, my wife had an import business. i figured, the restaurant business, i got tired of it. i said come work for the family business. i said, okay. it's going to be interesting and so interesting i lasted for 30 years.

i'm married i have one daughter. she's a registered nurse. she lives in los angeles now. and two grandsons. we have fun. i got into photography when i was in junior high and high school. shooting cameras. the black and white days, i was able to process my own film. i wasn't really that good because you know color film and processing was expensive and i kind of left it alone for about 30 years. i was doing product photography for advertising. and kind of got back into it. everybody said, oh, digital photography, the year 2000. it was a ghost town in

chinatown. i figured it's time to shoot chinatown store front nobody. everybody on grand avenue. there was not a soul out walking around chinatown. a new asia restaurant, it used to be the biggest restaurant in chinatown. it can hold about a 1,000 people and i had been shooting events there for many years. it turned into a supermarket. and i got in. i shot the supermarket. you know, and its transformation. even the owner of the restaurant the restaurant, it's 50 years old. i said, yeah. it looks awful. history. because i'm shooting history. and it's impressive because

it's history because you can't repeat. it's gone it's gone. >> you stick with her, she'll teach you everything. >> cellphone photography, that's going to be the generation. i think cellphones in the next two, three years, the big cameras are obsolete already. mirrorless camera is going to take over market and the cellphone is going to be better. but nobody's going to archive it. nobody's going to keep good history. everybody's going to take snapshots, but nobody's going to catalog. they don't care. >> i want to see you. >> it's not a keepsake. there's no memories behind it. everybody's sticking in the cloud. they lose it, who cares.

but, you know, i care. >> last september of 2020, i had a minor stroke, and my daughter caught it on zoom. i was having a zoom call for my grand kids. and my daughter and my these little kids said, hey, you sound strange. yeah. i said i'm not able to speak properly. they said what happened. my wife was taking a nap and my daughter, she called home and said he's having a stroke. get him to the hospital. five minutes later, you know, the ambulance came and took me away and i was at i.c.u. for four days.

i have hundreds of messages wishing me get well soon. everybody wished that i'm okay and back to normal. you know, i was up and kicking two weeks after my hospital stay. it was a wake-up call. i needed to get my life in order and try to organize things especially organize my photos. >> probably took two million photos in the last 20 years. i want to donate to an organization that's going to use it. i'm just doing it from the heart. i enjoy doing it to give back to the community. that's the most important. give back to the community. >> it's a lot for the community.

>> i was a born hustler. i'm too busy to slow down. i love what i'm doing. i love to be busy. i go nuts when i'm not doing anything. i'm 67 this year. i figured 70 i'm ready to retire. i'm wishing to train a couple for photographers to take over my place. the younger generation, they have a passion, to document the history because it's going to be forgotten in ten years, 20 years, maybe i will be forgotten when i'm gone in a couple years but i want to be remembered for my work and, you know, photographs will be a

remembrance. i'm frank jane. i'm a community photographer. this is my story. >> when you're not looking, frank's there. he'll snap that and then he'll send me an e-mail or two and they're always the best. >> these are all my p p p p p p

jesse. >> thank you. , chair williams. nice work, everybody. okay. so as we discussed this at the last meeting, i have been meeting with members to understand their interest and priorities and develop the structure of a work plan for the coming year. a thinking about what people have been thinking about as well as the list of future agenda dwhrats members have been proposing at the end of meeting. suggestions are in a few different categories. first session focused on the committee's responsibilities.

the sphirs the need for assessment and system modeling with a high priority for many of the members i spoke with. we'll work during the first half of the year to ensure this is done and time to inform the spending plan that process that takes place in this spring. there are some oversight responsibilities related to implementation progress and timeline. that's work that has been happening at a quarterly basis. km we'll have expectations and see how it works in the cometting quarter, if we'll see if supreme a more current sense of how implementation is going. in particular, an interest around permanent housing acquisition and flexibility. reporting object spending and capacity added from the funds.

we are planning on doing that as we laid out at the six month mark and year-enmark. that will be coming up. and a focus on racial disparities and racial equities. to the investment plan, people talk a lot about wanting to create more opportunities for dialogue with departments and the mayor's office. perhaps by beginning substantive conversations too new programs ask changes to the public in q-3 that january to march period. maybe extending the liaison meeting dplend may and june and wrapping up the committee process no later than the end of april to have more impact and more opportunities going forward. okay. and there were a number of topics in interest dwhrairs

we'll talk about. homelessness, prevention and problem solving. questions on what problem solving is. that came up a lot in the last quarter. no surprise that it's here. unsheltered homelessness, women experiencing homelessness including domestic violence and stakeholder engagement strategy. emerging models of best practices of shelter and hygiene investment. ending homelessness. workforce strategies and opportunities for expeks engagement and understanding the needs and concerns of landlords and community groups and trying perhaps bridge o. distance. i due on these suggestions and priorities in addition to the future agenda items that have been offered at previous peeghts. to put together a rough work plan that we're going it talk

about today. quarter 1. here we are in july. we're talking about work planning. we're going to talk about funds appropriations where the budget ended up and the crosswalks to the committee recommendations and the homelessness funding landscape which is a topic that came up at a numb -- requests from a number of meetings last year wanting to understand how the our city our home funds fit in the bigger picture of local, state and federal funding. in august, turning back to the needs assessment and the refresh with new data, we have the 2022 time count finished, inventory count as well as new materials from the planning department and a few other sources. and then a spotlight on homelessness prevention and

problem solving. the implementation update, but also like he homelessness preexperiential problem solving and member catalano has agreed to coordinate and work with more agencies in developing that spotlight presentation. and then in september, returning to system modeling and the strategic framework. launching a process for these two big projects. so it will be good time to get an update on how that is going. figuring out and working on stakeholder engagement and data collection strategy and soliciting volunteers. the plan is a november reteat. q-2 we're looking at finishing up the needs assessment and looking at the performance and expertise. year-end reporting on spending capacity added outcomes.

we'll be available in the october to december period. we need to do officer elections and revisit the liaison structure and make edits and tweaks and drug gnomes that structure. introducing members to that structure. spotlight on mental health with an update on mental health. ideally we'll have a mental health reliaison who can help in the development of those presentations. you've received invitations for a retreat in november, the 169 and 17th and a special meeting in december. both the regular november and december pleeghts have been canceled and these dates will be special meetings instead. in the third quarter, our

attention turn tots spending plan. developing those recommendations. much of it reflects the process we went through last year but looking for ways to refine and tighten up with some of the things that we learned. we'll be beginning the liaison meetings with departments that work we will, meeting one and two hoping that ahead of those meetings, the liaisons can begin working together to make suggestions on what they want to hear from the meetings. begin working at revenue in january. how much of funds is there? what do we have to work with both in the current year, is the funding coming in as expected and projecting out to future years. we did that in january and in march.

we'll be coordinating with liaison to plan a structured proposal development process and timeline for the committee. this year it happens a little more organically, but i think there were some really great things that came out of it and particularly for making all the recommendations. everyone can see what is prosed and time to consider and think about them. that seemed to work well. the departments will present their proposals and budget after they get the park revenue forecast. we are going do a spotlight on permanent housing with the implementation update and presentation about the public housing authority and ending homelessness which is a theme that has come up a number of times. six-month report on spending capacity added. this calendar year that took place in february.

that steems to make sense. and a bunch of town halls connect to that presentation. one challenge we see is the final look at revenue which seals light more concrete. the numbers were finalized. we don't gheat until the middle of march which leaves only about six weeks to do a big chunk of the work. trying to have a number of structured conversations ahead that have to help move the pros' long prosh process along. and q-4, continuing the liaison meetings with departments. perhaps continuing those. we may have pay fourth and fifth meeting to keep the communication going. we had three down halls this year that seemed to work well.

liaisons coordinating in the development of the committee spending proposals. and of course, the committee finalizes the spending recommendations to the mayor at the end of mayor and spending recommendations to the board providers in mid-june. in the fourth quarter, a spotlight on emergency shelter and hygiene, both the implementation update verbally at a meeting but also a focus on unsheltered homelessness which is getting a lot of attention. federally and obviously locally has been a concern for sometime. and can the shelter and hygiene liaison will coordinate with others on that. this a work plan in development very much under construction. and i'm looking forward to your thoughts and discussion. turning it back over to you,

chair williams. >> i'm actually going to have to give it to vice chair an grown. >> member he freedom balk, do you have your hand raised? >> yes, thank you. this sounds great, thanks so much for your work on this jessica, it's helpful and i think you did a great job of capturing the things that have kind of risen up during our conversations and stuff. collectively. that's great. i guess some questions on -- so in terms of we've been gathering and getting input from committee members and doing stakeholders meeting. how is that intersecting on this

timeline? is that part of the needs assessment? if so, i would like to see language in the timeline deliberately laying that out. so that we kind of have some discussions around collectively about what kind of stakeholders like recommending the meetings we want and overall bigger recommendations and how they would go. i i would like too see also in there when we're making the recommendations and assuming like a needs assessment would include the modeling. it would be nice to have the needs assessment to go toe larger community forums also and have that inserted into the timeline. that may have been the vision. i just want to make sure that's

in there. another kind of -- this is a side point -- not a side point, but a small point. in the draft you sent out, you have a decision point about using calculations around qualitative collection. and our city our home was modeled off of mckinney definitions of homelessness and the local san francisco definition of homelessness. i want to make sure that ascéyk% we're going forward that we're not -- that we're -- the definitionses is a foundation around how the needs assessment proceeds and so, would i like us to, you know, have that be part of the conversation to make sure we're correctly assessing the

right population because of the narrowness of other definitions that have been narrowed basically for political reasons, not for -- to make the numbers look better rather than the actual need. i just want to make sure that is part of that conversation. so, yes, those were kind of my two gem points. my two general points. >> any other questions from committee members? i don't see hands raised. but, yeah, member regio. >> he might be meutd. no sound. >> i was. yeah, i also want to affirm the work and thank you gist for listening so well and

integrating all the things we talked about in the meeting the last several months. reflecting individual conversations too. i know every year we envision or expect to finish up by the end of april in terms of our recommendations to the mayor. i think it's a struggle. i think you're we acknowledging that, jesse, when you said we don't get at the controllers office until the middle of march. and i think that puts appreciate or not departments which is totally understandable, but that in turn, puts pressure on us as well. you know we're getting budgets at the last minute ask trying to grit that balance between the things that we've talked about and the things that will the departments are talking about

which mostly align pretty well. but it puts us in a position that sometimes we have things at the end that come in for approval either from ourselves or the department and it means there is a hustle decision on it. i have no solution that other than recognizing that what i think jesse, you put into the timeline already that the conversations dlash the modeling and assessment needs to be done well ahead of time so that should provide us with thinking but also the meetings with the committee, i would like to see that we know pretty well what the picture is, let's say by march, rather than april and april is a fine-tuning of it rather than you know, the scramble that sometime like this year, i think this year in

mid-april we were scattered in terms of focus and -- anyway, it's acknowledging the challenge that there there and say we go need to be vigilant that we don't get jammed at the end again. the downside is when you get jammed at the end, you get things that are either a surprise from us from the departments or a surprise to the departments from us and we get frustrated or i do and i think other members of the committee do too. it seems that things we talk about are unrecognized in the final product although 59% of what retalk about come through. those are my comments. right war i started from, it's a good work plan. thank you very much. >> welcome member miller. okay.

i have some thoughts if there is no one else on the committee. i can go last. >> great. thank you jesse, for putting the timeline together. it helps us to keep on track like member regio was saying. when we talk about two and three and the housing authority coming, i know you probably created a rule in ending homelessness, but i want to make sure we're getting inventory numbers like pipelines, vacancy rates, a lot of data. like not kind of eye loafl. a lot of granular data would be helpful to get from them. as far as the needs assessment, i'm wondering if you want to take out categories -- where you

have sort of a different topics a -- or sub populations that people wanted to look at this year tie that into the needs assessment. for me, around domestic violence and women, i would like to have a picture where we can get information around that. and also, like the kind of thing in the end. and i heavily want to echo what member fream bach mentioned about definitions and go off local definitions and need to include families living in sros and families doubled up as homeless. and my last thought is if you can send out calendar invite for

the special meeting, i probably [indiscernible] >> i think we can move on to the next item unless anyone else has a comment. >> i tried to raise my hand. >> go ahead. >> thank you for all this. i'll echo that as well. i'm wondering where we see the opportunity to discuss and analyze and suggest the needs assessment information and if there is an opportunity to do that together with either the departments or in connection with the mayor's office. the goal of having data is we can learn from it.

both qualitative and quantitative and we can see course correction or affirmation of what we've chosen to invest in. i feel like we get caught up in the sort of schedule of things. and i want to make sure that we have time do that and maybe that's the retreat, if that works at the right time. i think last time the retreat changed course at the last minute. >> did we lose member leadbetter? member leadbetter, are you still there? >> i am. >> you're back. >> sorry, it looked like i was here the whole time.

perhaps the retreat were the last time i had that discussion. but i think last year the retreat got eaten up by other learning topics and our need to kind of connect with each other. and i think we're also intending hopefully in the future to be able to have public dialogue at this level of sophistication. i don't know if there are opportunities for that or if we're building into that. jesse, maybe you can help us understand where you see meaningful conversations and analysis and really taking the time to do that. >> well it's good to hear that's a priority. needs assessment, i'm hoping that it can be part of the retreat. that seems like time to do focused conversation.

and recruit more maybe public feedback and public comment. you know, and then we can do a different sort of -- if we wanted to have a public meeting, this is a public meeting. but town hall-style meeting or something like that. it is definitely possible. i think time can be structured the way you want it structured d and perhaps we could solicit volunteers to plan the retreat if september and use -- or maybe in august use the intervening months to set that stage and make sure the retreat turns out. the way people want it to.

>> i think what i'm craving is really a time of cocreation and cothinking about the experts in the department with other key stakeholders. i think we're oftentimes sort of sitting on opposite sides of the table rather than sitting collectively at a table and putting our heads together a little bit and digesting things. i would love that opportunity that departments are working experts as well as a lot of committee members. it might get us further if we're able to cocreate earlier. and cothink and build some trust there. not that i already have plenty of trust but trust in the outcome, not necessarily the people at the table. >> it was mentioned a little bit earlier, but the needs

assessment and the modeling, so the needs assessment will -- the department -- using the needs assessment as the foundation for the modeling. and they've contracted with a consultant to structure the modeling and carry that forward. sometime this quarter hopefully sooner than later, we'll be able to get an update on the process and have a better understanding of where the needs assessment fits in, what role committee and/or lee yainses can play and things like that. i thought of the people who can speak that specifically are at the nation alliance right now.

>> member [indiscernible] >> i'll offer what member le better said, the treat is a time when we can have folks in the department to start to discuss more broadly and earlier. i think that would be a useful vehicle to addressing issues that the member was bringing up too. they can be areas where we have jointly identified needs or maybe they're areas where we see the needs differently and being i believe to talk about solutions and approaches earlier on. then being able to flush out where we think we might align with the different things we might have some alternative approaches to propose for the budget process. plus one to both of those things.

>> great. i what jesse was saying, we'll try to get volunteers. we'll try to incorporate all of that into the scheduling of the retreat and whatever that framework is going to look like. i think we have to go to public comment now. >> and for the meeting invitations, i sent them out last week for the november special meetings and also -- if you didn't get it, let me know, i'm happy to resend it. >> okay. thank you. >> go ahead and move on to public comment. members of the comment should call (415)655-0001 access code 24982128473 and pound and pown again. if you haven't done so, call *3to line up to speak. please wait until the system indicates you are unmuted. you have two minutes.

checking for any hands raised and i do not see any. there are no public comments for this agenda item. >> all right. so the next agenda item is the crosswalk of the final imunlt committee recommendation. shall we move ahead? >> thank you. the process is now done. again, i think it's always helpful to be able to be remined of the amount of work that we did in really in april. but also in may and june, the spring, time and hawt that went into developing the spending plan recommendations and working alongside and with departments

to produce budgets. yesterday formally approved by the full board of supervisors. i'm going to share this morning to focus on changes from the mayor's proposed budget that we looked at last month. there were five committee recommendations that were revisited by the board and technical adjustments. start here. so as a board, technical adjustments added 15 flexible housing pool units for women at a cost of $4 million over two years on going. this formula was taken -- it was a reduction. the formula reduced the adult housing acquisition funded by $4 million. the committee and the department and the mayor's budget kind of

all recommended kind of roughly between 4 and $5 million in the two-year budget plan for acquisition for adults all having -- so that is reduced to one million dollars. set aside for adults permanent housing acquisition. permanent housing for families with minor children. $2 million for most administered family housing beginning in 2024 to allow an estimated 100 additional families to move from sr rows to family living accommodations which was the committee's proposal. there was a board technical adjustment. a reduction in family housing acquisition by $2 million in fiscal year 2024.

and then $1.4 million for family rapid rehousing extensions in fiscal year '23 originally proposed for homelessness prevention in the permanent housing bucket right now. you may recall the mayor's budget directed any remaining balance to housing acquisition, the committee had recommended or left an unprogrammed balance. the mayor's budget directed or programmed all of that funding to housing acquisition. these changes reduced the amounts and put towards housing acquisition from families from $26.8 million over two years to $23.4 million over two years. there was a change until mentality health services in the bucket.

$3.8 million over two years was directed to a transitional care program for women in the bayview neighborhood. that was paid for by reducing mentality health service funding by $3.8 million. that tbrent $11.3 million to 7.6 over two years. the fi$al adjustment was in the emergency shelter and hygiene services budget. $.6 million was added each year for hotel vouchers for pregnant people and families which was one part of the committee's recommendation. account committee had recommend .6 million in '23 for pregnant people and families and .6 in '23 for victims ever domestic violence. it look ises like what is in the budget is .6 each year.

in each of the budget years for pregnant people and families. and the funding was taken from or reduced the navigation center operations by $1.2 million over two years, to .6 each year. those are the changes. i'll stop sharing and return it to you vice chair antonio. >> thank you, jesse. i don't know if any members have like thoughts or comments or questions. >> yes, i want to thank everyone for all the hard work that went into the budget plans. this is incredible. yes, i wanted to say thank you to everyone for all the hard work. i know the heavy lift, a lot of things happening, a lot of meetings and can community

outreach. so gratitude all around for all the hard work for this budget cycle. >> any other like comments, thoughts from committee members? feel free to just shove it out. >> i want to echo chair williams' comments around thanking everyone for the hard work. there was i think part of what -- with the input sessions being so late and we were scrambling to make sure the voices were honored and embraced in the budget process. it was a little rocky going as is always.

but i wanted to thank all the folks at the board of supervisors and other mayor's office and departments and i feel like in the end, we ended up getting -- we were able to honor the voices that we were hearing at the listening session and were really -- we have a very strategic set of investments that go along ways in trying to get at root cause of homelessness and going upstream. this is the spirit of policy is trying to not just address homelessness after catastrophes occurred but trying to make sure that kids and all these other populations that are so often ignored are really -- that we adjust those systemic inequities

as much as we can through our investments and the result can be -- as we're moving up and smart with this, we can over time make a massive difference on this issue. even when someone is up against us in terms of these broader social inequities. i wanted to really just share my gratitude and my hopefulness and i know for me, i feel blessed to be a part of this process. p t. >> great, thank you member freedom bach. any other thoughts? >> i think honestly my internet slow. people are raising their hand, it's showing up late. so i'll move on. >> okay. yes. yes.

i want to second the dismarchtion gratitude and also want to keep on our radar the commitment to the expertise. i shared it at the last meeting. i had a dishantening experience. i have talked with cynthia and i started to understand a little bit what they're building out for the systems modeling. but i would like to keep this on our radar, i think we put if there like nothing about us without us. and so they're watching the national alliance videos right now and all of our, you know, experts are over there and the whole focus is on the expertise. it feels like we're apart from what the community is doing, but

as our collective city approach, we're a little bit behind. and prioritizing this in ray structural way. so i think we can get there. and we'll stay in dialogue and find opportunities. but i strongly believe you have to build the infrastructure for people who be able to participate over time. and so while the system modeling i think consultants that they're bringing in are amazing. that differs from a job experience or progressive engagement job experience where people come in at one level and grow into it and it's also our economic development and job stleament we heard o clearly from people. this is one thing that we have control over. thank you for letting me say this again and again, but i believe it's critical and there are a million ways to get to it.

excited to keep talking about it this year together with the departments and see how much infrastructure we can build out for real expertise. >> great. thank you member leadbetter and thank you for keeping it alive. i also agree on i would love to see the model. let's get some folks paid and trained up. any other thoughts or comments or discussions? i think now i'm seeing a hand. okay. i guess let's move on to public comment. >> members of the public who wish o provide public comment should call 41 -- access code 24982128473 and pound and pound again. if you haven't done so, call *3

to speak. please wait until you are indicated you are unmuted. you will have two minutes. i do see a public commenter. i'm going to unmute this person. hello, caller, you have two minutes. >> my name is frances. and i'm i've been monitoring the entire budget process. i'm especially paying attention to the non-profits -- and i've been monitoring this for 40 years. i see that the needs assessment hasn't been done, that it comes out disabilities, those that

have underlying illness especially during the covid. when it comes to housing. anybody can speak in generalities. i learned this when i read the procedure of san francisco and i had over 3,000 housing units with which i would have people, artists, doctors from ucs staff. i learned a lot. what i see is that some non-profits -- i'm not going to stay all -- with using the poor people to make money. shame on them! and people [indiscernible] what they do and how they do it. but the city -- our city is corrupt. and i've seen this at the budget hearings. one guy who belongs to your -- i

don't see his face, he came in and asked for $5 million. [indiscernible] budget analyst. i'm saying non-prochts are good, but they have to do the right thing can. the right thing means helping those who are most in need to he will great them on a long-term basis not a short-term basis. i've been going through the details. but two minutes are too little. i need two hours to give you all a good orientation. >> thank you for your public comment. i'm checking the list for any additional public comments and i do not see any. >> jesse, could you help us out with the next agenda item, please. >> absolutely.

>> great. >> i have a thumbs up. good morning everyone. gee gee witt pli, i was asked to frent some of our information on our funding land cape that we had put together. i'm here to answer in a comprehensive way on how does our city our home funding fit into the broader san francisco budget and spending strategies. so an overview of what we'll be talking about, i'm going to show a historical view of the city's homelessness services funding. i'll be talking a little bit --

not a huge deep dive about the funding analysis we villefor the state of california. that includes the last fiscal year that just ended and the fiscal year we're in and the up coming fiscal year. some key partnerships that make this work together and recent accomplishments and final thoughts on how we in department land are trying our best to maximize our city our home funding to create a comprehensive homelessness response and prevention system. this slide is a combination of starting fiscal year 12/13, main departments at the time that were funding homelessness services including the department public health and human services agency. you'll see that about 213 -- 200

million and change was kind of the citywide investment. in fiscal year 16/17, that's when the city created the department of homelessness and supportive housing. part that have work -- you're familiar with taking the different funding sources from public health or hsa or the dcys and put them into one department to look across the system. funding started to grow in fiscal year 17, 18 and 19. one-time both state and local money. and fiscal year 18/19 is when tph, hsa and hsh launched the care initiative so you'll see

funding start to grow. as you can see from the chart, the outlet liar occurred in fiscal year 20/21. we've been experiencing a global pandemic since then and with that, over fiscal year 2021 and 2022, we have more than 420 million in fema-backed expenditures as well as other federal and state covid relief funds. that accounts for a third of that jump. other thing that occurred was that prop c was unlocked, our city our homes and as you know from last year's budget, there was quite a bit of one-time funding that was made available to the city for one-time purposes. can. going forward in the two-year budget that just passed, that is really a combination of the

city's general fund support, the [indiscernible] funding and new infusion of state one-time funding or new state initiatives, and other funding sources. such as hud funding. so, the state of california has required localities that could be cities and counties, we at san francisco because we're a city and a county and one cfc, we receive all three buckets of what is called homeless housing assistance and funding can. at state is in the third year of distribution. this year as part of receiving the allocation, the city is

poised to receive $47 million. the state required that san francisco put together a landscape analysis of all of their funding, their funding strategies, as well as start initial system goals and measures using administrative homelessness data from our homeless management information system which is required by hud wells looking at our last several point in time counts. that was the impetus for preparing them. we surveyed at least five city departments. fire department, hsa, human service agent is is, dos, aging services department. department of public health and the mayor's office on housing and community development. what we identified through funding analysis was there is

about $2.5 billion over the fiscal year that just ended and the up coming two or three fiscal years for homelessness services, housing and prevention. similar to the budget slide previously, most of the funds come from the general fund, 42% for general fund support. our city our homes contributes more than a third now to our system funding. 36% can. we still have 308% at federal ask state funding. housing and community development, those funds were received by our department, the department of social services, lead agency for that is the city's human
