thank you very much. okay. o i'm kelly happy to be here. next slide. i want to give a general over view as sometimes out in the world, people have questions about the differences between daas and mod. so. our role is to provide services and supports for older adults, vet republicans and people with

disabilities and families. so that people can live independently as possible. you see here our vision and mission and values but i will actual somebody has been here 2 years the goal is people to live with dignity as independent as possible. to have some skroi and engage in the community. everything we do is more the population people with disabilities and vet republicans and families to be able to live the life they want with supports they mead. . so in terms of -- hochl we are. a budget that is under 500 million. and i will say for this budget

we have direct service promise. are the biggest share at 355 million. we have community programs of 113 million. and. then the covid food coordination was 15 million. that is remove friday our budget next we're and go to the human services department. and then we have 439 staff and work with over 60cbo's and between them they have 200 contracts. okay. next slide. in terms of the departments internally. adult protective service. in home supportive services and our legal and guardianship program includes i public administrator, conserve torand

guardian and the representative payee. >> the more external facing the office community partnerships you know this from that is where the bulk the dignity funds money go come all of our programs out in the community from there the contracts. those other 60 plus organizations that we worked with. the daas benefit bunkham resource hub is [inaudible]. and that is the door that people can go through to start getting connected to services. and our quality clinical and quality improve am program that is a group of 4 nurse who are really helping folks transition

from like hospitalization to community living. also this strong and mighty group they do training. and they were irrelevant helpful with doing home bounds vaccination. during the heist pandemic. and they work a lot with laguna honda. okay. now i like to talk a bit about what we have been doing this year. so. these are the approximate things that you all were wanting to know more b. i'm theme actual so let's start with the next slide. where we can talk more specifically about the online resource directory.

so. the online resource directory will be launched this year. it is instead testing phase. and -- we will have a directory host on the dass website and in addition to that we will have a referral system for select partners. and then we'll roll it out to make it popular to make it available near everyone butt first idea is to roll out of the closing system with the small pilot of cba's and others will be added in batches. you know the directory something we have been talking about for a long time and it is of the goal is to help people make more

connection. we understand it does not work for everyone >> fshgs not everyone has online access. our partners the person who call in to one of our partner agencies or cbo, that cbo gallon online and direct that consumer some place else if they are not able to serve. we have beenment to do this for a long time temperature is happening in the testing face expected to be launched publicly soon. that is exciting. so the dignity fund an allocation plan. so the skefshs system and allocation plan out lines our program dpundzing priorities for the next 4 years and this is based on the community need's assess am we completed the end

of last year. really this document is the department's guide how we'll tund programs and develop contracts with the community service providers. that helps us to advance our priorities approximate. those are based on what we learned during the community need's assess am. so -- for us -- like the priorities are improving aware ness and navigation of service. engagement with adults with disabilities when we do is based on the service and allocation plan. look to programs that will support the key priorities.

so, the -- we are going to present this deteriorate to the oversight and advisory committee. later this month. and the final draft will be publish in the march based on the feedback from the community. this is a huge process and big part behalf daas says. i'm proud because it speaks to the partnership we have with the community approximate how it represents we believe what is important to the community what is important to us and what we doll for the next 4 years. next slide. the disability cultural

municipality center. well. this will is happening now. under construction on the corner of grove and vaness. the kels sea disability forward thinking organization. and -- on top of the cull roll center there will be i think over 100 units 25 of them will be specific. will be designated people with disabilities. we broke ground last year on the site and i said in the past it is the first of the kind. city fund disability community cultural center. and so right now we are work to procure service provider to develop and begin the center.

so we had one listening session, a couple weeks ago. and to hear the community thoughts on what should be in the center. we are having another listening session on february 23rd. from 2-4 p.m. and i believe may be cindy, if there is a link or more information about the where we can let you all know. will the construction is supposed to be completed so this services can start in 2025. so -- we are excite body that. hoping to hear from all of you. hashould be and then -- what is put out the rfp j. next slide, please. >> so.

sxf we would get more representation on these commissions. those are am including training and just ideas to get people interested and serving on boards and commissions. it is all important. okay. those others big things that daas is working on now. before you go to the next slide i think you are doing this, it is we have a request if you could make sure you are reading the slides [inaudible]. >> nod everybody has visual access. >> make sure you cover what i think you have but a reminderch >> thank you. i apologize to you all. you know one thing that happen

of dumb questions this is more kind of a personal situation for me and men applies to others. . if somebody is not officially approved or designated as disabled even if they have all kinds of presenting conditions, for to be disabled, then would they still have access to the services? in the resource center? >> yes. >> this is kelly and he you can always go to 2 goth and find out what the other options are and that the options are. yes, you would have access. >> thank you. councilmembers [inaudible].

why just a moment. thank you. ? is orchid a councilmember and cochair. so, i have thoughts about you know when the future might look like. the future resource center and i wonder photocopy there has been logos for example, something that creates access or indicates intercepting services provided or visual needs met. i think those are very important in recognizing for communities being markers for communities that are services provide. i think oftentimes coming in to a system or new establishment where there might be bureaucratic processes not familiar can be challenging. and those symbols are points for people to identify easily when

they might need. and -- no audio. for visually challenge exclude people who might have various cognitive abilities might be easy to provide services and less overwhelming if than i have a logo that is present. . i that happened before and approached me to say you then and there was challenging for me to navigate system and i told them it it is something they might have to go back and work with that organization if it it is an ngo or nonprofit may not have staff members i was thinking how to mitigate that difficult competence for people to know who might have different cognitive abilities they might have they motorbike in a place

provide services for them. that might be a way to provide logos. that's manage they can identify with if they are looking for this in a specific community. s >> okay. thank you, so much. i think that is the types of comments and information that we are hope to secure in our information session. so i know people who will be at this information session are on the call now and will take that information back. i think this is grown i was not the initial information -- listening sessions, i don't know if this came up already. but i think this is brill yen and well needed, thank you very much for this suggestion.

>> >> yes. okay that was asked left time to look at the robert's campus and how they manage all things accessibility and may be to mimic the things they do there in this space. i think that has been considered

but that will go into the notes where so this when we put out the rfp that is important. and recognize we are dole with a smaller space. but -- still it should be as accessible. that is the point. >> yes. >> thank you. so much. >> thank you. >> just so -- questions or [inaudible] commissioners going to take questions to the staff. if there is any questions at this time. >> there is one councilmember den niece senhaux she is yoin everjoining by phone i will unmute her. >> you should be allowed unmute.

this -- good afternoon. >> can you hear me. thank you alex. good afternoon will councilmembers and i want to welcome kelly dearman the executive director and the other commissioners for disability and aging i'm glad we had an opportunity to get together. some of my questions were already addressed through other comments and concerns. the third question was really a suggestion not so much a question. and let me have been if i'm off i could not get in on the zoom. i was having difficulty. but i caught the audio. if i'm in incorrect my apologies when you talked about out roach to the disability and aging populations about becoming more involved in serving on the council and commission, being i believe you touched upon an

aspect around training. i could not hear you wanted suggestions on the idea as you touched around the training on those advisory councils and/or commissions. and the things that we worked on in the past is getting the other councilmembers. done out roach with the connections that the councilmember has and posted on the website we had an interview process when people were brought in and we educated them like you did about what you do and the difference between the council and the sdablth ageing and what you do and we got an area of interests. what the interested in and passions are. we tried to get an idea when sl experience so people would not be intimidated because everybody

come in to the positions in a different skill set. depending on the population you work with and how much education and trin and what they have been involved in. having a train to let people know what is expected and how to assist thome get to that point. it can be intimidating to serve on a council and commission. i'm sure like all of us we want to dot best job and bring the best education and skill set. so we represent our population and dot best we comprehend i'm still trying and have been on council for year you always try to improve your skill set did not know if you had thoughted on the training or off line we can discuss we need to continue other ideas around the out reach efforts. thank you. >> i will mute myself now.

>> [laughter]. thank you. i think those are great recommendations. y want to make sure that people understand that in. the opportunity to sit on different commissions and councils is not limited to our 2 commissions and councils. so this they, too can participate more. so i think you are right, any training that gets an opportunity to find out more about the person they can see what is out there in the city it will be helpful. so. i'm happy to talk to you any time off line. >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you.

before we go i [inaudible] [muffled] this it is nicole thank you for coming. we have closed public comment. but i wanted to share piece of information that was shared by a few members in response to kelly's presentation. first, we do have representation from the kelsie who are following our meeting today. and caroline says if peopled like to see more about the housing being built on top you can go to the kelsie's website. k.

housing need's assessment. a snapshot of affordable housing for older adults and with disabilities. it is a shorter report and it is focused on existing and future housing stock. the need's assessment is comprehensive provides analysis how the needs irrelevant voluntary to the programs and issues recommendations to address those needs. to support the assess am convened a steering committee with representation from 5 partner departments this were named in the legislation. that includes the department of disability and aging service. mayor's office of housing and community development.

mac's office on disability and the d. homelessness and supportive housing. hsh. and the planning department. members of the steering committee include the following representatives who are here today. the cindy cover machine from d. disability and aging service. nikolas from the major's office of housing and community development. nicole bohn from major's office of disabilities. mill and [inaudible] from d. homelessness and supportive housing and lisa chen from city planning.

this group met month low to help shape the press and the final product. before we dive in the need's assessment report i want to describe types of affordable housing. the first type of affordable housing is the low income rental housing primarily managed through housing website. here, on this website, affordable housing seekers can rue now listing and apply for affordable housing. the major of the focuses on this time reasonal housing and the population it supports. the second type of affordable housing is inclusionary reasonal units or below market rate and bmr. this type of housing has several nips in the stele. units are developed by for prefer housing developers and are visible it low income qualified house holds. the third type of affordable housing is supportive housing.

here, affordable rental units are combined with on site supportive services for people sprngs homelessness and as well as other types of and as well as people with disabilities. so, i'm going to under score the fact that the majority of had we talk about today is based on the first category of affordable housing which is low income rental housing. okay. police jump in the need's assessment report we are here to learn about. the purpose of our need's assess am to better understand unmet housing needs people with disabilities and seniors in san francisco. the populations are unique but share some similar housing access ability needs and phase affordable changes due to lives

on fixed income in the city with a high cost of living. >> we developed research questions to guide our framework. the questions are, number one, what are the how doing needs of low income older adults and with disabilities. 2, what barriers dot populations face and accessing city funds affordable housing, resources and programs? and 3, what are the biggest challenges in opportunity for improving housing securities for older, did you tells and adults

with disabilities. one of the differences in the project from others without doing much this research we already know a lot about the state of housing in san francisco. we than there is a housing crisis? affects low income and group and we then and there them crisis has to do with them not being enough housing. than i are not being enough affordable housing and know this this is also an accessibility crisis given san francisco's relatively old housing stock. so to focus areas that we can shed new light. we aim it identify primarily barriers across our housing system. and pinpoint challenges that not only affect our community but burden the service provide and housing agencies from being as effective as possible. in reading their mission employs for this assessment we gathered andan likewised information in many ways. we leveraged agency and programs to help us know the profiles who the housing program serve and huwe serve them. a priority making sure we heard

directly from the communities. stake holder engage am. we provide many ways for residence denials to make voices heard. to do this, we worked with a consultant to gather data through methods like interviews. commune forums, focus groups and 2 surveys. over all we heard from over 1200 community members. keep will dive to finds beings and recommendations. 10 findings and issued 40 recommendations to support the findings. today, we are only going to highlight 4 of the findings and a select recommendations so we are not here all weekend. we encourage anyone with interests in our findings and recommendations to review report

which can be found on the website and hopefully you can drop in the chat. >> let's dive in. first have point this is most of us know which is this there is in the enough affordable and accessible housing for low income adults with disabilities and seniors. 4 recommendations on the accessibility side the need for housing agencies to review placement processes for when accessible units are available. to ensure that people with disabilities are being prioritized. for access units. will we need to expand out reach and marketing requirements to ensure that people with sdablths see the opportunities. on the affordable side, we

recognize the need to better understands and act on the root causes of affordable housing production. we need to mitigate housing instability by investing in our supportive service. this will dive in thes numbers behind our first finding. this chart show this is in 2019, over 40,000 adults with statements and senior renters experienced a rent burden. a rent burden to paying more than 30% of houz household income in rent. there say red dotted portion of the graph that representatives the share of san franciscoo low

income seniors and renter households that experience a rent burden. i want to highlight the fact that this number includes individuals had rent first on the open market and build nothing city fund affordable housing. >> this next chart focuses on adults with disabilities, ages 18-61 had rent homes. we find that lower income groups experience higher rates in rent bfrmentd with almost 80% of extremely low income households experiencing a rent burden as some kinds. and over half of those households paying more than 50% of income in rent. this chart deics approximate the extreme affordability issue that

lower income groups with disabilities face. final lite last charter we will review depickup trucks the mismatch what seniors live nothing affordable housing can afford. compared to set rent price based on area median income. senior designated units are priced higher than wham those households afford without being reason burdened. for roughly 3 quarters of senior husband holds who are live nothing affordable housing, operate subsidies or tenant subsidyys make up the difference on help them pay rent. tenant based subsidies

[inaudible]. where as operatored subsidyys further subsidize city funded affordable units. this pattern brings us to the next finding. including those live nothing affordable housing. our recommendations include exploring new ways to invest in project based operating subsidies for housing developments serving these populations and expanding city fund tenant based rental assistance programs.

features within affordable housing sites to meet the rink of accessibility needs. to address the nature of reasonable modifications that attentives may request, we recommend providing more consistent training on the reason modification process and formalizing a consistent process. we also rescue noise that some of the modifications can be cost low. so to improve long-term building accessibility especially across older buildings you may need incentivize repair in a more robust way. our last finding speaks to

across departmental coordination or what are is working together. we found that over all, affordable housing resources are scylloed and the system does not have a mechanism to cord naft services and collaborate across cities and noncity jurisdictions to share data and program information. so we will look to strengthen collaboration and identify opportunity to coordinate best practices for data collection and questions of lawity assurance. i spoke to the slide. but this reiterates that we are going to be look to strengthen our inner departmental collaboration and service coordination. i am going to hand it off to executive director dearman to

agencies but agencies on the call and especially to really start to make progress especially around education and what were is need in the terms of disability access. am program to the degree we have facilities that need continued maintenance and up cope. and so toward this end, we have mod has some vacancies and we are in the process of working through those. . in one of the proposals that is under consideration now. we have a -- staff position that would be specifically assisting with this project. we really q.ed that the report exists. and we are doing as muchs we can

discussion the report. and we are pleased that the report has happened x. we also of though are afraid this report like others in all different fields will get find a shelf in accomplice and the that will be the end. we are determined that does not happen. and will we thank you the report will be helpful until approximate the meetings on the budget spring. what struck me 27 of future thenned affordable housing for seniors had disability access. this is unacceptable. you know disability can be thought of in an conventional way. in my experience as you age i'm in my early 80s. you know your body stiffens,

hear suggest in the the same. eyesight is not the same. you are on your way from minor disabilities to more bigger ones. it it is a fact of life that is why it it is important very important to look at homes in terms of assessable for seniors with disabilities and growing disabilities. other ting we locked at the expanding of rental subsiies for seniors and with disability. this it is our favorite subject we made presentations about subsidized renting at planning meetings. and the budget meetings. we are in praise of this.

it is simple low we don't have enough now. subsidies are good buzz you don't have to build a newhouse or have the expense for the city. or for nonprofits. you just help subsidize people where they are. where they are in place. people who may need a few hundred dollars a mont to get by. we encourage the expansion of subsidies for seniors. also lastly, is very important that there be an increase in funding to improve affordable housing that we have. such as sro's. some of them near good condition others are in the state of wreckage. people who are aging need to age with dignity. and a broken down build and elevators is not live nothing

dignity. we ask you to take that one seriously. and lastly i say, we are determined at senior and disability action not to let this report stay on the shelves. thank you very much. >> thank you for your call. next [inaudible]. do we have more public comment at this time? i see another member that would like to speak. . buddy i believe you should have permission to talk and you may comment when you are ready. >> okay. can you hear me? >> yes. >> this is betty trainer i'm with senior sdpablt action i'm on the board. and i'm reiterating a lot of what kathy said. in particular the issue the need for affordable housing. we get the monthly and the

february list of 15 openings. 10 of those were sro's. some of which are in the appropriate for seniors and people with disabilities. they have to go down the hull to the bedroom. they don't have kitchens. the ones that were in private senior buildings, the minimum income worn of them was 35,000 a year. another was of there are,00028,000. low income seniors on social security such as myself we can't afford that type of rent. or not rent butt income once we are past that the rents can be too high. that income is not anything that most of the people as you see in

the statistics this were presented, can't afford. we would peopled come to our sxofs ask for help. we would show them the list and they would hands it back. and say i'm sorry. i don't have this. what can we do. we really have to work on get figure the money for the tagy said the -- expanding the rental subsidies. for individuals and the base and the operating subsidies. we get that is wonderful. and people who are city with agencies could help us with this. and help our seniors and people with disabilities to get the money. the mayor's budget in the board of supervisor's project.

that areune higher than their incriminal that's all. thank you. why thank you for the call:dwo we have another. i see [inaudible] hands up. you have been per committed to unmute and can comment when you are ready. >> thank you, hi. i'm [inaudible] i'm with senior and disability action. i'm calling because it is great to have an upon point and i

think that this report is findings are the beginning of specialing this can be really good for seniors and people with disabilities. dem pending how we use it, right? so i would like to say that from your findings i think that it would be great if can rental subsidies. including senior [inaudible] city like affordable housing and create a disability operating subsidy program. we don't have one and we have alegality of people that are you know struggling to get housing and you know about this. another thing is make is easy to apply for affordable housing including in person.

and i leave it to luck. that lottery system is not working. you know and -- i think if it is not about luck we need really have housing as a basic need and a human right and so -- i would like to say that. how that will you know become a reality. and also -- like kathy was talking about you know mou people when we are aging having different needs, make it easy for tenants to access modifications and subsidize modifications. a lot of people need to find

other places because you know they can no longer sustain the place where they are the modification can not foordz. you know and so -- if that is something that can be a program i don't know. i know we already have one. but something much deer. thank you for doing this this is great and so -- i can't wit to see what the. rust of all this is. thank you. >> thank you for the comment. are there any other public comments? at this time? >> yes , i see jessica would like to make a comment. as of now you have been permitted to speak.

hello, everyone a pleasure to be here today with all of you with the commission and council joining each other. and i irrelevant want to thank isy for wing on this report and for all the staff who have worked together i would love to see a collaboration like this continue. reminds me of bill tr legal referral panel talking how 10-15 years ago a group the chaz and like this people from different departments working on housing for people with disability and seniors. there is no reason we can't vice president that to keep it going. i forgot to introduce myself i'm jessica with senior and sdablth action. one more. just want to highlight the findings.

we were over joyed you suggested creating a disability operating subsidy program. easy for people to apply for affordable housing including in external virtual. and multiple languages. easy for tenants to get access modifications and subsidize costly modifications we thought but we need sxhr what to do about lands lords that say, no. what else. elevator repair and replacement and a priority. expand will access to mental health service. there are xoiting pilots around the that we would love to see expandd and in a big way and from finding 10 to expand tenant counciling for seniors and people with disabilities and

life this it pointed out collecting data on household disability at this times we sdoent get haacross the city and make its hard to followum. 2 questions i want to leave you with. one is 27 of the future will more than 10,000 affordable housing units were for people with disabilities. i understand that those are all the units in the [inaudible] 28. what do we have to do to increase this number? you know the financing is complicated and continue is possible. how do we make that happen? 19 former public housing buildings designate nitted for seniors and people with disabilities and as they have been converted what is done to make sure they are protected for seniors and people can disabilities? thank you, look forward to collaborating with you >> >> thank you for the comment. anymore public comment? jury room yes.

i see alley cannington would like to comment. at this time. you have been permitted unmute and you may make your comment when you are ready. >> i'm alley congressmanton, thank you for holding theft important meeting today. i am a disabled community member. and i also work at the kelsie where we add haveicate and create affordable and inclusive housing. as well as a board member of senior and disability action. and i wanted to lift up the importance of you know how the city can continue to invest in more projects like the kelsie civic center. as it anchors in meant solutions

that are recommended in the report. and in the findings. i want to just net that i think you are ways the city can not just increase requirements related to accessibility and affordability but to incentivize projects to go beyond the requirements as what was stated. there are few for people with disabilities and how can we incent sunrise the. fold of housers in san francisco to were yndz the minimal and work for the city of san hose tow add incentive in their process and -- around increasing

gather minimum requirements well are models out there. and solutions and -- lastly, i want to lift update need to ensure that housing that is built or rehabbed -- is available to people with and without disabilities where people with and without disabilities live together in the space ensuring that people with disabilities who need spicht service in their homes, are supported to receive their service in their homes and think about people with disabilities of all ages who may be will are in need of exiting congregate or

facility based setting including accomplices like laguna honda so we can ensure that every person with a disability regardless of age has the right to live out their life living in the community with housing they need and afford and access. thank you. why thank you for your comment. are there anymore public comment at this time. i don't see other members of public that would like to comment at this time. >> okay. through the chair well is a comment i would like to share that came in the q & a. so on behalf of kerry kingman is asking hucan we as members of the public best advocate for expanding senior operating subsidies and create disability operating subsidies for consideration of the group that is all the public comment i see

at this time. >> the public comment againful [muffled] >> in is nicole, to help direct questions to the appropriate

steering committee million i will help with that. give me a head's up. >> thanks. >> this is orchid here. a quick comment. 16 to 18,000 people who have homelessness. and from this percentage, is an unknown how many with known and unknown disabilities are in that percentage but it is a high number. and that includes different you know temporary imnesses or long-term. but there are barriers to housing. i wonder what fair housing practice look like when we talk about that. i think that a lot of people think hasro's are for profit

business i know an individual with multiple disabilities excited get i accomplice and there were a number of place a number of things that ended up to the person's -- demise. there was a number of things that were contributing to that. it was not a clean or safe environment or housing environment that was stavenlt not guilty areas where they are close to embarrass or other activity, they are not safe places and00 eye think that presents challenges when we think of providing house to providing it in a safe and clean environment. i think land lords often du

diligence this is not enough for securing safety in a home environment. i heard of so many stores. i think of the housing situation in san francisco it is in the great when we have new buildings gumming. so what. there are many people this come in with income and policies created and not created with people in mind. for advocating and support. a lot of mental health goes in the situations individuals are looking for housing. and you hit a wall. you hit a place where you can't move forward. and so -- there are a number of ways that policy could be created to you know do better.

there needs to be different solutions. >> thank you. next we have [inaudible]. >> thank you. alex. thank you, everyone. thank you all for the presentation. and i have taken notes i'm pulling them up. like nicole, i am help this report exists. thank you come i'm that he want there is this commitment to helping keep seniors and people with disabilities in san francisco. jessica mentioned surveying households.

to identify members with disabilities. to that end, i don't know if the city ever thought about surveying households for accessible housing. here is my thinking. my partner and i my wife and i made our home accessible for our daughter. whoech is in a wheel chair. now. it also helps up able it age in our home. right. so, it is a win for all of us. which is besides the point we would do this for our daughter but that point about it being a home now that is someone can age in, coupled with the fact that -- this design trends and open plan design trend -- it is

a design that we incorporate in the our homism think it is become more and more popular and prevalent and common. and -- to this end it is accessible design, and so folks are doing this who don't necessary low need accessibility. but who have designed a hem that is if not technically accessible is close to being it.

and count to the accessible housing and affordable as well if that is something it is city thinks makes sense. thank you, much appreciated and yea. look forward to seeing how this all pans out. thank you. hel sxen orchid for the suggestions. thank you. >> thank you. >> now i will go to sascha.

>> hi. i'm thank you for -- it was wonderful. and i'm -- >> yes, we can hear you y. thank you, hi issue everyone, i'm sascha bittner. ful thank you very much for the report. and it was informative. and and i and have numbers and i in our zones. and have representatived and and

i'm ready to -- a few years ago i was looking at looking to move to an apartment. and we were looking for looking for and involvement i'm -- but i

would have needed to take -- and

i'm wondering if there is anything thinking about how the discrimination and you know i -- and i have another question but i like the idea -- modification i live downstairs in my family home and had to get modified to --.

thank you. this is nicole speak. towards housing discrimination specifically we work and refer folks to colleagues in human rights commission to assist with those and sascha, i wonder if there is a specific question i missed around vouchers in particular or -- >> um -- yes , i was looking at and i look at something that was accessible. and then they were saying, no -- is -- is sheila either of you

able to comment on. sascha's point section 8 or anyone advice on that? i don't need advice at this point. >> right. i think others might need that advice. glad you brought it up. >> sascha, i can't sfeek to that question but can follow up over e mail with ideas. >> and i i'm talking about it from like a public policy perspective.

well taken. thank you, sascha and thank you for offering to follow up. >> thank you, sascha. next we got >> thank you, i want to speak about how powerful this meeting has been. i can't think of a better topic for us to have brought forward than this one the number one priority for the city and especially our communities. so the fact that there was so much out reach around the meeting i did see and good public comments today i would suggest we make this an annual when we have them again. it be the next thing a follow up. right we have this mandated. a lot of publicity around the housing leadership. we are integrate in the the housing element. but we need ton how it is going

and i want to also under line the absolutely importance to the subsidized housing of but it just is so historic when someone is just living on social security or just living on disability they are at the federal poverty tlefl it is not 2 or 3 times and need housing subsidy this is true for members of my family and i don't need to you know drill had point to the audience. i want to say how important this is to us. at our commission. and i would hope that when we get the reports, when we add haveicate we get a report on how successful we have been. to get increased money for this and should be per of our housing

effort. and it is in the like people are saying not up to builted housing that is hugely important if people can actuallypate rent had they go in through their income. i want to really under line point and our public comment show third degree and lining to see when we get reports on implementation if this is part of what we receive information about so we can be advocates employmented to say, thank you for the work. >> thank you. are there any question or commissioners questions at this time. . hearing none.

alex i think denise would like to make another comment. >> >> thanks, alec. i was going to take myself off as far as making a comment all the occurrence have been addressed. i will paraphrase i'm excited [inaudible]. on the initial conversations identifying housing access ability and access for seniors and people with disabilities. i do agree there needs to be funding around subsidies so people can age in place with dignity and respect. i willville ideas around out reach and brought up about access issues and things of this

neighbor so i think the conversation and followum as far as implementation mentioned earlier along with the other councilmembers and commissioner comments i need we need to follow up and continue one i can be roached any time you know input and we have good recommendations to go forward as stated. i don't thpt to sit on a shelf and not implemented. we have been talking about the housing crisis you know for a long time and i know the issues that can'ting resolved right away if we get started in the crucial areas in service. i of course you in we need to give people access to housing.

and we need to make it affordable. i think when the money come the resources those are just my 2 cents as well and i thank the presenters and the committee and everyone being here and look forward to our work newscast future. now i will go back and mute. >> thank you. >> next -- hi. thank you. it was going to bug me if i did in the get my question in. i know it is reare running time here but thank you for the great report all of you all the commissioners and departments. that was a lot of work that you did to get that report done. one question i have is that photocopy the subsidies are

approved and machiney is found to have that put in place. from moving forward it this time on from the graph we stall, the statistic we saw for the people who are in existing reasonal units now who are paying more than half of their income, will it benefit them to the ones that are in the place now upon >> what about the people struggling now. respond to that i need machine

thisness the in's and out's of subsidies. is there anyone on the committee that would like to take an initial response otherwise, sherri will take that comment back. >> thank you. >> we will take that comment back. >> thank you. >> of i have a question for the group. company question. one, is had i know that couple days ago there was a discussion that addressed that -- and hope

that issue is addressed on this report. and and that issue. that is one question. and the second question is that, with affordable housing and -- and i asked this question. i want it make sure that i am -- with an empoint that -- 27 --

for -- accessibility. and the door and -- a big concern to me and i'm upon wondering if someone can comment on how that number came about? and it is last thing is that question is that, can we get some numbers on how many departments or units are a

particular disability or -- or is it according to individual need? can someone talk about that. >> yes. i will forget fiupon don't start. first okay. >> so, first the access ability of the website looks like our colleague sheila had to leave. she has family stuff going on today. but debbie if you could make note we will check that. i think we have done work on that. we can follow up on that.

towards this question about -- disability units that is misleadingil have isy talk to that to that response and we will come back. >> yea i will take that and i'm glad you asked this because i heard someone else making mention and it it is mills leading that of this number 27 disability designated units in the pipe line that number does not represent the number of accessible units that will be available to all qualified individuals or households including those with disabilities.

so, of the best -- the way that we should look at units that are appropriate for people with disabilities and accessible units. does that make sense.

accessibility because some people might -- i want to be -- cautious of that. >> yea. i think this is nicole again, thank you. your point is well taken. there are more than 27 accessible unit in the pipeline of 27 of these are designated disability am type specific. so that is a really simple way to do that.

and the third question about are there -- are there units for specific disability types? that is part of where that 27 come from. but it is again it is something -- we will take note of that and continue to look at this processityerates. it is well taken this is something when we were trying to figure out when are accessible housing stock was like. that is the challenges we in the committee spent time talking b. and how to present and the findings is we need to do we need to do a more work on understanding exactly where our accessible stock simple so thanks for the comments. >> does this

questions/clarification. is that 27 u nits is only specifically on this -- correct? >> yea. >> i want it make clear. >> it has to do with where the funding source come from and the other rules but you are correct. >> and then the last question and comment i have is that with this moving forward with this report, will will be in interesting to see how many units and percentages that the

city has or accessibility and older adults and adulls with disabilities and people that need support is moving. needs. >> right. >> and interesting to see that in the near future. >> thanks for that i want to encourage the councilmember and it is mission. i know sometimes the mayor disability council does follow up letter to the meetings. this is a great topic if you want to consolidate all of your questions and ideas. i know that our group would take those. as part of our process as we work through all of the the recommendations. i appreciate everybody's comments so much on behalf of everyone who has been on the

[♪♪♪] >> we have been able to participate in 12 athletics

wheelchairs. they provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a national paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. >> it is great to have this opportunity here in san francisco. we are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. now that that is happening, you know, i i'm looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs -- that these people are here for everyone. i think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as able-bodied, to be able to see and to try different

sports, and to appreciate trying different things. >> people can come and check out this chairs and use them. but then also friday evening, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. >> we offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [♪♪♪]

>> >> (indiscernible) faces transformed san francisco street and sidewalks. local business communities are more resilient and our neighborhood centers on more vibrant ask lively. sidewalks and parking lanes can be used for outdoor seating, dining, merchandising and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are accessible for all and safe. hello, san francisco. i love it when i can cross the street in our beauty city and not worry whether car can see me and i want me and my grandma to be safe when we do. we all want to be safe. that's why our city is making sure curb areas near street corners are clear of parked cars and any other structures, so that people driving vehicles, people walking, and people biking can

all see each other at the intersection. if cars are parked which are too close to the crosswalk, drivers can't see who is about to cross the street. it's a proven way to prevent traffic crashes. which have way too much crashes and fatalities in our city. these updates to the shared spaces program will help to ensure safety and accessibility for everyone so we can all enjoy these public spaces. more information is available at sf dot gov slash shared television.

>> in 1948 swensen's ice cream used to make ice cream in the navy and decided to open up an ice cream shop it it takes time for the parent to put money down and diane one of the managers at

zen citizen in arena hills open and serve old-fashioned ice cream. >> over 20 years. >> yeah. >> had my own business i was a firefighter and came in- in 1969 her dad had ice cream and left here still the owner but shortly after um, in here became the inc. maker the manager and lead and branded the store from day to day and in the late 90s- was obvious choice he sold it to him and he called us up one night and said i'm going to sell the ice cream store what you you

talking about diane came and looked at the store and something we want to do and had a history of her dad here and growing up here at the ice cream store we decided to take that business on. >> and have it in the family i didn't want to sell it. >> to keep it here in san francisco. >> and (unintelligible). >> share worked there and worked with all the people and a lot of customers come in. >> a round hill in the adjoining areas loved neither ice cream shop in this area and support russia hills and have clean up day and give them free ice cream because that is those are the people that keep us the opportunity to stick around here

four so many years next generations have been coming her 20 er thirty or 40 years and we have the ingredients something it sold and, you know, her dad said to treat the customers right and people will keep on coming back and 75 or 74 years, you know, that is quite an accomplishment i think of it as our first 75 years and like to see that, you know, going into the future um, that ice cream shop will be around used to be 4 hundred in the united states and all gone equipment for that one that is the first and last we're proud of that we're still standing and people people are

you tell people it's been around in 50 years and don't plan on

>> what we're trying to approach is bringing more diversity to our food. it's not just the old european style food. we are seeing a lot of influences, and all of this is because of our students. all we ask is make it flavorful. [♪♪♪] >> we are the first two-year culinary hospitality school in the united states. the first year was 1936, and it was started by two graduates from cornell.

i'm a graduate of this program, and very proud of that. so students can expect to learn under the three degrees. culinary arts management degree, food service management degree, and hotel management degree. we're not a cooking school. even though we're not teaching you how to cook, we're teaching you how to manage, how to supervise employees, how to manage a hotel, and plus you're getting an associate of science degree. >> my name is vince, and i'm a faculty member of the hospitality arts and culinary school here in san francisco. this is my 11th year. the program is very, very rich in what this industry demands. cooking, health, safety, and sanitation issues are included in it. it's quite a complete program to prepare them for what's

happening out in the real world. >> the first time i heard about this program, i was working in a restaurant, and the sous chef had graduated from this program. he was very young to be a sous chef, and i want to be like him, basically, in the future. this program, it's awesome. >> it's another world when you're here. it's another world. you get to be who you are, a person get to be who they are. you get to explore different things, and then, you get to explore and they encourage you to bring your background to the kitchen, too. >> i've been in the program for about a year. two-year program, and i'm about halfway through. before, i was studying behavioral genetics and dance.

i had few injuries, and i couldn't pursue the things that i needed to to dance, so i pursued my other passion, cooking. when i stopped dance, i was deprived of my creative outlet, and cooking has been that for me, specifically pastry. >> the good thing is we have students everywhere from places like the ritz to -- >> we have kids from every area. >> facebook and google. >> kids from everywhere. >> they are all over the bay area, and they're thriving. >> my name is jeff, and i'm a coowner of nopa restaurant, nopalito restaurant in san francisco. i attended city college of san francisco, the culinary arts

program, where it was called hotel and restaurant back then in the early 90's. nopalito on broderick street, it's based on no specific region in mexico. all our masa is hand made. we cook our own corn in house. everything is pretty much hand made on a daily basis, so day and night, we're making hand made tortillas, carnitas, salsas. a lot of love put into this. [♪♪♪] >> used to be very easy to define casual dining, fine dining, quick service. now, it's shades of gray, and we're trying to define that experience through that

spectrum of service. fine dining calls into white table cloths. the cafeteria is large production kitchen, understanding vast production kitchens, the googles and the facebooks of the world that have those types of kitchens. and the ideas that change every year, again, it's the notion and the venue. >> one of the things i love about vince is one of our outlets is a concept restaurant, and he changes the concept every year to show students how to do a startup restaurant. it's been a pizzeria, a taco bar. it's been a mediterranean bar, it's been a noodle bar. people choose ccsf over other hospitality programs because

the industry recognizes that we instill the work ethic. we, again, serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. other culinary hospitality programs may open two days a week for breakfast service. we're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner five days a week. >> the menu's always interesting. they change it every semester, maybe more. there's always a good variety of foods. the preparation is always beautiful. the students are really sincere, and they work so hard here, and they're so proud of their work. >> i've had people coming in to town, and i, like, bring them here for a special treat, so it's more, like, not so much every day, but as often as i can for a special treat. >> when i have my interns in their final semester of the

program go out in the industry, 80 to 90% of the students get hired in the industry, well above the industry average in the culinary program. >> we do have internals continually coming into our restaurants from city college of san francisco, and most of the time that people doing internships with us realize this is what they want to do for a living. we hired many interns into employees from our restaurants. my partner is also a graduate of city college. >> so my goal is actually to travel and try to do some pastry in maybe italy or france, along those lines. i actually have developed a few connections through this program in italy, which i am excited to support. >> i'm thinking about going to go work on a cruise ship for

about two, three year so i can save some money and then hopefully venture out on my own. >> yeah, i want to go back to china. i want to bring something that i learned here, the french cooking, the western system, back to china. >> so we want them to have a full toolkit. we're trying to make them ready for the world out there.

you're watching san francisco rising. today's special guest is monique gray. >> hi. i'm chris mannis and you're watching san francisco rising. the our guest today is marquise gray. he runs out of the office of the mayor in the city and county of san francisco. and he's with us today to talk about the recent progress of the sunnidale hope sf housing project. welcome to the show. >> good morning. thank you for having me today. >> let's start by talking about the existing residents of

sunnydale and their history. >> so sunnydale was built in the 1940s for a workers. it's the largest public housing community west of the mississippi. it's about 50 acres. pretty huge. about 760 single story units one to four bedrooms. >> i understand it's an ambitious rethinking of the residences. can you briefly describe the scope of the program and hope sf's involvement? >> yeah. the work of hope sf is this idea of more than housing. that acknowledging that our public housing community, the levels of violence and poverty that are in these communities are not by accident. you know, it's our opportunity to address a system issue, you know, that people need more than housing. they need health services.

resources. economic investment opportunities, jobs and things of that nature. and so hope sf strives to work with our city systems to better serve our public housing communities. >> so recently, mayor breed and speaker pelosi toured the site to both put focus on a national housing initiative and also to highlight the completion of the first new building. how many units does it contain and when will people start moving in? >> yeah. it was an amazing event. honored to have the secretary here with us as well in our community. it's 167 units. it's about 75% going back to the original families that currently live on site. so the replacement. so i did forget to mention i want to say real quick, the beauty of hope sf is housing development, new development without displacements or anti-displacement initiatives. so, for example, the building is 167 units.

75% of those units going to families that have lived there in the community for generationings and the other 25% are tax credit units adding to the affordable housing stock here in san francisco and those units are up and running now. they're leasing them as we speak. people are picking their units each week until they're filled up. >> so was this particular building put on a new plot of land or did people have to move out so it could be constructed? >> that's a good question. our first building was vacant which you may have saw across the street from this building and then this plot of land is the way we kind of do it, we do it in phases. once one goes in, we're able to move families into the new unit and where they previously were occupying, able to demolish old buildings to build the new. so this area had some older units that were demolished. >> it's impressive that construction has been able to

continue during the covid-19 pandemic. can you talk about some of the challenges that needed to be overcome and how the community has managed during the crisis? >> that's a great question. you know, in san francisco, if i understand it correctly, i could be wrong, i believe housing was an essential service. the mayor made a strong commitment early on in the pandemic that we would continue to build housing as housing has been a critical issue in our city. so the housing part hasn't impacted us too much. 67 units have been going on its current time line. the bigger challenge for us was showing the families in our communities, low income families had the resources we need to survive the pandemic. many of our families didn't have the luxury of working from home, working in the zone and things of that nature. making sure they had access to

covid testing and things of that nature. so i want to give a big shout out to our resident leaders, our service providers across all four sites. for those that don't know, hope sf is four sites. sunnydale is one of the four sites. and so across those four sites, the most critical thing was making sure folks in these neighborhoods which have historically have been disconnected from resources have the things that they need to remain healthy, to, you know, survive the pandemic as we all had to survive the pandemic and we did pretty well. we were able to bring back scenes and covid testing on site. food distribution was happening all throughout the week. wellness services and things of that nature were all happening on site thanks to our resident leaders and our service providers across the sites. >> so, finally, when could we expect the next set of

residents to be ready? despite -- i guess we just said covid doesn't have an impact on the schedule. when will the next residences be ready? >> yeah. things are rolling. we have block a3 and block b3 to the building we were referring to earlier. and things are on pace. things are going really well. so we're looking at starting construction spring of 2022 and that will be 170 units and the goal is to have that lease up around 2024. >> well, thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on the show, mr. gray. thank you for giving us the time today. >> thank you, chris, and i really appreciate your time as well. >> and that's it with this episode. you've been watching san francisco rising for sfgov tv i'm chris manners. thanks so much for watching.
