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 >> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with.

>> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy.

working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky

road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful

opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the

different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most

exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers.

when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve. >> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out

there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people,

the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy >> good morning everyone. my name is nuvia (inaudible) depdy director at department of public health. before we begin i like to do the land acknowledgeism we are on uncedeed unsesteral home land

of the ramaytush oholone. as indigenous studered of the lands and accordance with tradition, the ramaytush oholone never cedeed lost or forgotten their responsibility of the care takers och thais place and all peoples who reside in their tor tore. we benefit from living and working on their home land. by affirming sovereign rights as first people. welcome avenue wn. this is new health resource center named after our long time beloved colleague department of public health leader marie martinez. i thank you mayor breed for your leadership that helped make this day realty. thank you for being a champion for san francisco most vulnerable residents. i am thrilled to be

joined by marie's daughter polama and friends and families and dph colleagues and staff. thank you to dr. berry (inaudible) for guidance and (inaudible) director of marie martinez health resource center and staff of the marie for their tireless work. i want to take a moment to say this sentser a incredble accomplishment and directly speaks to the vision and leadership that marie x provided. i cannot think of a more fitting tribute to her legacy then a place where integrated multiagency approach provides care and resources to the people experiencing homelessness as well as to the medically vulnerable san franciscans. marie always found a way to do more. to serve more, to do better. and i know her presence here will inspire all of us to do the same. many of

us continue to morn her passing and i when i look what has been created in her memory i find inspiration and strength. as the former director of whole person care, marie knew the value integrating efforts across the city. i want to recognize city department partners in this effort. the department of homelessness and supportive housing. the human service agency. the department of emergency management. the mayor's office of community-housing and community development. the fire department. the sheriff department. as well as mercy housing and episcicul community service. everyone played a key role opening the community and insuring we provide first rate care to the community. now i like to welcome mayor breed to say a few words. [applause] >> thank you so much, and it is really great to be here. already just walking through the doors, just thinking about the people that this clinic is going to

serve, it is absolutely extraordinary. but i do want to start by really thanking the staff and people who work here every single day. today i know it feels great. we have this new facility but this work is hard, and the challenges that exist in our city have been very very difficult. when the public makes demands for us to deal with some of those challenges and to provide the appropriate systems of care, they don't just happen because people want them to happen, they happen because there are people who are dedicated to making them happenism there are people showing up every single day despite the challenges, disspite beal called names because they understand the challenges with people who struggle with mental illness and substance use disorder who need to have care and support to make sure that they are getting what they need to survive and to

thrive in san francisco and it is not easy. and today as we dedicate this facility in honor of marie x martinez we are reminded of advocate that worked for department of public health and dedicated her life to this mission over the last 20 years understanding it is just not one thing. there are a number of things that happen and people who have tremendous needs. the whole person from the (inaudible) basic physical needs as well mental health and those challenges stem from so many things from dementia to people who suffer with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and so many issues. you know, when i think about our country and our society and the challenges that we face, i think about when we-it is easy to do deal with some of the physical issues like you break a foot or a leg or something

and there is doctors who specialize in those things, but we have really i think failed as a society to realize that substance use disorder and mental health challenges people have sit in a category too where they need specialist and support and compassion, and this clinic is going to provide that holistic support. this place offers treatment on demand. it offers a opportunity when someone wants to get clean and sober, they have the resources to do that. and this is a location where not only the street medicine is housed, the people who are out there on the streets providing the narcan and support and help and assistance to people in need, but also our homeless outreach team, the partnership that exist between these entities to help people who are truly the most vulnerable in san francisco is what this clinic in particular represents all most

more then any other clinic that we have throughout the sit a eand county of san francisco. so, again, i want to really thank the doctors and the staff and the nurses, the counselors, the clinicians, the people who show up every single day and put their heart into this work, because you have to love this work in order to really muster up the strength to come to work every single day and to support this community, your work is appreciated. i also want to take this opportunity to thank all the various departments and agencies who helped to deliver this project on budget and not over budget. it is a over $13 million project, supported in so many different ways including by the voters of san francisco when they support public health bonds, they support clinics like this. they support the opportunity to provide healthcare to san franciscans regardless of whether or not they

have health insurance. that's what places like this provide an opportunity to help make sure that people are able to get the support that they need, and so again, i want to thank you all so much for being here today. thank you to it great departments and everyone who played a role in this. it is a lot of work and it does take a village. thank you again to marie x family and her friends and people who knew her. i know when she passed away in 2020 it was really devastated for the public health community and so i know that you know, as much as some of you miss her, i know especially her daughter paloma today missing her because you know her work and advocacy for social justice, push for creative solutions and change and as a result of naming this clinic in her honor it really cements her leg acy of work in the city and county of san

francisco so thank you so much for being here and at this time i like to introduce dr. hammer in charge of all the various clinics that serve the public in our city. we had a number of opening including maxine hall. my grandmother used to use maxine hall. so many african american seniors and clinics in the bayview and mission and think of the extraordinary histraphy of the clinics and what they provided when people in these communities had no alternative. this clinic first opened in 1917 and has been serving the community through the aids epidemic, through the fentanyl crisis and now all of the things we have to deal with and so we are really grateful for her leadership so ladies and gentlemen, please welcome dr. hammer.
