mr. clerk call. 6. >> yes. item 6 an ordinance amending the code to limit application of nonprofit reporting requirements to organization requiring more then and there 100 thousand dollars annually requiring tax and government documents to confirm nonprofit citizen by restoring the city add administrator the soul of information and require posting of receive information on the public city website. >> thank you, supervisor safai is the sponsor. i will pass it to him. floor is yours. >> thank you. hold on, please. why thank you. clothes and public this

legislation is a result of reporting by our local media. especially the san francisco standard. that found that city standards for nonprofit oversight could use improve am. and spent time talking to different city departments and those in the community. this ordinance is our first step to clean up nonprofit over assignment i want to acknowledge supervisor stefani who is working on ensure nonprofits perform when they negotiated and performance standards. and the simple problem we have and trying to solve for is boy law nonprofiters poseed have key approvals before operating. however, there is no central city agency charged with ensthurg they do. so city law requires nonprofits to report basic information to the city add administrator.

the name of the ceo. board of directors and annual budget and does in the require them to demonstrate their legal low authorized in san francisco to operate. most important low in this legislation is tht irs recognize them as a 5 interior 1c3 incorporated for charity purposes and donors get a tax deduction and file tax returns a 990 if than i have more than 50 thousand dollars in revenue. the state of california requires registration with charitiable trust in the attorney general's office this . filing ensures a californian can contact the attorney general if they suspect wrong doing. sometimes nonprofits must be audit when they have federal funds this is flow through san francisco for health and human services program.

it closed a loophole departments receive reports the conflict is real the department weapon a contractor may not want to shoin a light on that. what we have here exit handed out, clotheless we made a few changes working with our controller. ben and our city attorney. so online 7 andave strike language and add city administrator want its make information public. on the second page, add-on lines 13-17, shall file with the city add administrator or otherwise make public low available in a manner authorized by the city add administrator. and annual economic statement. that includes the following information and listed this information. and page 3, we add that the

controller shall review compliance with the environments of 10.within and shall report any findings of noncompliance bn by an organization to the administrator, mayor and board of supervisors the city arbitrate not this is on page 4 lines 1-12, shall not enters in new contracts with none compliant organizations determined by the controller abcents a written report of finding of necessity by the controller and the city administrator. >> city administrator shall ensure that the information received under this section is made accessible. and then goes on to state the city administrator with the controller adopt rules to implement 10.1 including rules stake a dead line for submission of economic statement. the manner in which reported information shall be made accessible and guidelines review

of compliance and notice of nonmroins of final rules published by the administrator's website and sent to the clerk of the board and mayor upon adoption. so those were the last amendments and this it is designed to ensure what people are following the rowels laid out we have a central like for this information. people need that information public low accessible and the kreller will ensure there is oversight and accountsability work width city administrator. i think that is important given in light of the things we have seen last few years where am simple checks of compliance of economic statement, 501c3 status. audits conducted if those steps philidelphia it is a red energy

there might be problems with the organizations. and in that case, it allows to catch it early before there are learninger problems as shown by the audit conducted by the controller where we had now have some patrol agencies coming into the nonprofits. and investigating further. so we want to ensurety money spent and given to many of the wonderful nonprofits we worked with in the city continue in thes right marine manner and shine a light on those not operate nothing good faith. thank you. >> thank you. upon straightforward. i don't know if this is something the controller or city administrator would want to i don't have questions for you. >> thank you, that would be good i would like to allow the controller an opportunity to say a word or 2. that would be helpful. jost good morning supervisors. city controller. we appreciate the work of

supervisor safai on this ordinance and willingness to work with us the administrator's office and on nonprofits to ensure this is moving transparency forward in a way that minimizes paperwork and acknowledges staff everies to comply. we think tell improve transparency. and i'm available to answer questions you have. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai. >> no questions from me. >> seeing no one on the roster. mr. clerk open up to public comment. >> members who wish to peek on this and joining person line up to speak now along side should lineup to speak now. for those remote on the call in line press star 3. no parties in the room near public comment can we have our first caller for public comment?

>> good morning supervisors it is debbie learnman from human service network. we share your concern about nonprofit in good status with the state attorney general's charity legislation requirements and left year's report was a big surprise to all of us. perspective on the issue it is important that there are many reasons for delinquent stchlts men they submit on time but months of drill in state processing and website update post pandemic. in some case a failure to use a new form in 2022. and if you have more complicated issues date back many years and current staff were not, wear. majority of identified nonprofits are now in compliance or in process of doing so.

we agree it important to ensure nonprofits are current and support transparency and account act but concerned this adding now overly burdensome or duplication requirements go beyond what is mess and cost low and time consurmg. rather requiring everyone to submit documents we support amendments implement an alternative compliance option. that would make the documents publicly available, on a nonprofit's website. would be available for the public and for city oversight the controller review compliance and the city would maintain flexibility to debar contractors that fail to comply but ensure vielth service continue contractors correct their status with the state. we thank supervisor safai and other members of the body for your consideration of the controller's proposed

amendments. thank you. thank you. next caller, please. >> can you hear me. >> proceed. >> great. david pilpel. this item i note the proposed threshold go from zero to 100 thousand dollars. those entities this receive this or more required comply. i compare third degree to the 250 thousand dollars threshold in administrative code 12l.3e the nonprofit public access to records meaning organizations. ordinance the history on this guess back lit irrelevant 25 years to then spierz tom amiano effort on nonprofit transparency and achieve egg fair comp moiz

on the level of the -- threshold required for reporting and the reporting and public access requirements for those nonprofits and the considerable efforts by the controller's office over the years on compliance and capacity building for nonprofits. i encourage you as you look at the amendments today to consider whether you want i different threshold here in this section of law compared to the threshold in 12l. >> thanks for listening. >> thank you. that was our left caller for public comment on this merit. thank you. public comment on item 6 is closed. >> thank you, mr. chair like to make a motion to sept amendments read in the record. >> thank you, supervisor. mr. clerk a roll call yoochl on the motion to sept amendments

>>. s item 7 ordinance amending the park code to reduce the number of seats on the park's open space committee. provide alternate members and,llow members to serve for more than 4 consecutive terms and appointment of members experienced with environmental justice and disability issues and meetings occur at city hall. >> thank you, mr. clerk. president supervisor peskin the chief importance of this item examine is joining us. welcome president supervisor peskin. >> thank you, chair dorse and he committee member safai and walton for hear thanksgiving again today as you recall you heard this over a month gg ago on may 8. and at that time accepted amendments made at the behest of supervisor chan. i ask for a continuance to give the park rec open space

committee an opportunity to discuss this, which they had i believe left week at their meeting. since then, supervisor chan has requested an additional amendment and her staff kelly is here to poke to that. and i as of this morning am suggest yet one more amendment. which i believe to be nonsubstantive name low at page 2 line 3, to add a sentence to the affect this alternate members are encouraged to attend and participate in meetings and prosac committee meetings. and department city attorney can word smith this. but this is the intent and language this i suggest. specific low to insofar as this

legislation takes a 23 member body and turns it to a then member body will make quorum and i think allow for each supervisor to have more direct input but also has 11 alternate members, this is irrelevant and prosac, rarely votes this . is all 22 of those representatives are encouraged to attend. supervisor chan's addition of racial equity as an experience to add to senior citizen issues. will culture being recerational and environmental youth disability is something i support and admonition to appointing authorities the 11 of us and the mayor to take those experiences into consideration. in making our appointments.

and that colleagues, i would be happy to discuss it or take public comment. i know this wendy evergone the current chair of the park rekzeration open space committee is present. i will add, that there was some statements or requests as to wlo this is a provision in the chart 30 could be amended by the voters and let mow be clear, no the charter says shall be an add rise real committee the contowers what this mittee consists of and how those appointments are made is went purview of the board of supervisors. thank you, president supervisor peskin. mention that there is a representative? kelly? >> thank you. chair dorsey and vice chair walton and supervisor safai.

one additional amendment to the legislation this adds racial equity. and i distributed hard copies and you should have one in your in box as well. this is approveed form and not substantive in the long title on page one line 7 adds rishlth equity after environmental justice and on page 2 line 10 adds racial equity after disability and i'm happy to answer questions. thank you. >> thank you. >> and chair dorsey i will add after a long and robust discussion at prosac we are all in receipt from mr. young this morning a resolution from prosac requesting another mont continue. this one i continued left month. my colleagues took exception to that and i don't know in another mont will serve us so.

i adopt to put this on the referred common we will hear from the chair of the prosac committee shortly >> thank you, president supervisor peskin. >> no questions on the roster. mr. clerk open up to public comment. why y members of the public when wish to speak and joining person lineup to speak. for those remote on the call in line press star 3 to enter the speaker line. our in person speaker, please? good morning i'm windsy argone chair of p and open space i ask before i go to my public comment if the committee indulge me to read the resolution pass or have the clerk read it. >> we ask we have another month

so this the riders of the legislation account come talk to us as a committee. as no one from chair supervisor peskin's office was available to come to our committee meeting we voted had 14 members, then-1 to pass this resolution we ask for another month to have someone from president supervisor peskin's office and xh and speak us. we did vote to ask for another month. i poke with president supervisor peskin today and he let me know of the changes. my one ask would be if the committee is going to approve this and sends it forward to the full board that the 13th seat i believe for environmental justice changed to board of supervisor at large. the only person who represents

environmental justice and as someone who sits on the seat. supervisor chan i feel uneasy looks like there is a special seat created for mow and we have so much talent i prefer to be a d1 representative with the background in environmental justice and allow that seat to be open to anyone and not specific to one issue. can we have our remote caller? next caller?

>> hello supervisors. i'm nick i have been on prosac for a very long time and i also haven't past chair. i would request in you do continue this, for another month so we can talk to the sponsor. we did have a discussion the past prosac meeting between ourselves and we would imagine our group to be but never had an opportunity to talk to the sponsor. about when we the people this affects would be able to talk to the experience and what we imagine the group to be. i feel that is not fair that we didn't get a chance to talk to the sponsor about this and i would hope you would continue in the light of fairness. thank you. thank you very much. we will try our that unattended line one left time. >> can you hear me now.

>> proceed. >> david pilpel. i think prosac is no more or less important than the mta. citizens advisory council or puc. and as it said in other context,ir think this committee has been large for a language time and has had not reasonable but occasionally quorum issues. i think reducing it to something like 11 members one from each district and a mall initial either appointments by the president or the full board or mayor but making something between 11 and 17 members is more workable. and i think it is an elegant

solution to have both member and alternate who can vote in the acsense of the voting member. i'm interested in substantive comments from prosac and to the extent this did in the happen after last meeting i might condition this matter again today this is entirely up to the committee. i do think the legislation get being better and the extent that a mall are sized prosac results from this this is all good. and i appreciate the work that has gone in this from supervisor supervisor peskin and supervisor chan prosac and others. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. that was your left caller on the call in line yoochl public ment on item 7 is closed. >> and i don't know if there ask

anything else. vice chair walton >> thank you and want to thank all of the member of the program prosac and chair argone, thank you for coming today. i 100% agree with the intent of the ordinance and agree with the path forward i think supervisor supervisor peskin has spent the time to take feedback from prosac and committee unless he will say he wants to meet i don't see why we would continue. president supervisor peskin. gi want to say as someone active low engaged with this period since the last 7 years they do tremendous work i want to thank the prosac members for the input

than i have they get frustrated their voice my may noted always be listened to they do a good job for the community come us on the board. and there have been times where -- we have got calls from the department our members are not attending and showing up. this is i good compromise and, lus for alternatives to show up and anticipate and when than i are not there than i can fill in that's a good compromise. i appreciate president peskin thank you and make thanksgiving adjust am. and i will supportive of this moving forward today as well. >> >> president supervisor peskin. before i ask you to move the to amendments one from supervisor chan and the other that i

described, i wanted to say for the record had i would have been more then and there happy to attends the john meeting of prosac i was not or my staff was invited that is a new development. i think our policy intent is clear. i think the board of supervisors as david pilpel out lined, think this is is good and straightforward and sensible policy and brings this body in conformance with other similar bodies like the mtacac. and i would request this you adopt the 2 amendments and send the item to the full board with positive recommendation. >> thank you, president supervisor peskin and as to the continuance i add this is not this is in the an intans in which we are trying manage in the charter or idea our roach we

can't fix it moving forward. i'm disinclined to move to continue this. i would like it make a motion to incorporate the amendments made. to add racial equity tow the list of experience. on page 1 line 7 and page 2 line 10. and add alternative members are encouraged to attends and participate in meeting and mittees to page 2 lines 3 and 4. and send this as amended the board with positive recommendation. >> yes on the the motion to sxhaend recommend. vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair dorse y. >> aye. >> the motion passes without objection. >> thank you, mr. clerk. on a unanimous vote item 7 amending the park code moves forward to the board with

>> you are watching san francisco rising with chris manners. today's special guest, carolyn mante. >> hi, i'm chris manners and you are watching san francisco the stow about restaffing rebuilding and reimaging the city. the guest is carolyn manteto talk about the organization is helping to preserve the city cultural heritage and architecture. welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me e. >> good to have you here. >> can we talk bat the history of your organization and the mission. >> sure, thank you. san francisco heritage

started 51 years ago and the main mission is to preserve and enhance the architectural and cultural identity of san francisco. when it started out the focus was really on the buildings, historic landmark listings and really concentrated on downtown area with all the development happening. our organization was raising a reg red flag with historic landmarks in danger and victorian mansions so a hallmark of our organization is moving these victorian mansions in the way of development to inwestern addition neighborhood and other areas to get out of the way of development and preserve them. our organization was around before there was the historic preservation commission of the city so we were at the forefront drawings attention to historic preservation, landmarking and over the last 51 years we have seen how there are more then just

buildsings in safeguarding the city cultural resources, there is also small businesses and the different neighborhood icons that make a neighborhood special, so our outreach has really-it is really come full circle in a way because it moved downtown into the neighborhoods and now with the covid epidemic it is really going back to downtown again looking at how we can play a role in the economic recovery and revitalization of downtown san francisco. >> that's great. so, now i understand your organization is also responsible for maintaining a couple properties. could you tell us a little about those? >> yes, our non profit was gifted in 1973, the historic (inaudible) house. it is now a historic house museum but this was a family since 1886 built this victorian mansion in the same family year after

year and one of the last resident of the family when she passed way gifted the mansion to san francisco heritage so since then we have been running this historic house and the home of our office. in 2018, one of the long time members nor aa lasten gifting a building on the e h-as hate polk became a commercial corridor after the earthquake, the owner at the time, he raised the house and put 6 store front underneath in order to take advantage of the commerce so we are in charge of the house on the corner and it has been a wonderful way to get new numbers, new audiences interested in the work of our organization. during the

pandemic, we have been using it as a artson residents and partnering with different bay area artists as well as cultural institutions, cultural districts and then one of the storefronts we converted into a pop up galleries so gives a opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of the art and cultural resources in san francisco. >> that's fantastic. so, now, let's talk about legacy business. what does the designation mean? how does somebody get add today the legacy business registry and what benefits does being named a legacy business? >> i love this program. it was started by san francisco heritage and adopt ed by the city and run by the office of small business but the program looks what are the businesses really contributing to san francisco and the neighborhood. when we started the first focus was bars and

restaurants but over the years it exb panded to include other businesses so these are places that contribute to the character of a neighborhood, so sam's grill downtown, the amazingarian press in the presidio. book stores like city lights oergreen apple recently named. this year we had a lot of attention on the legacy business program. we put out a contest to the public of what you think should be the next legacy business and one of the businesses that was recommended was the club deluxe, jazz club on the corner, and 2 or 3 days after we launched the contest, the owners announced they would have to close. the rent was driven up, they couldn't afford it, coming out of the pandemic so we worked at speed to get that application submitted with them and that status convinced their landlord to negotiate with them a lower rent

and this way they have been able to stay, there was a lot of social media support around this, so when you become a legacy business, not only do you get marketing and business support from the office of small business, but you also eligible for grants and we work closely with the legacy businesses as we do our work for san francisco heritage. >> that's great. so, apart from architecture and buildings, you also work with cultural districts, and the castro theater strikes me as a place that is both. a beautiful building and cultural hub and center. what has been happening with the recent acquisition by new owners; >> it is leased to another planet entertainment and been in contact with planet entertainment by the castro theater is historic land mark building. it is recognized as a very important

architectural monument. one thing-one of the main activist organizations of the preservation of the theater we work together with supervisor mandelman on a interior landmark historic landmark designation for interior, but what happened over the is summer and people learned is there is a lot of concern not just by san franciscans but people all over the world, movie directors, stars who are very concerned about the risk to the lgbtq and film programming at the castro theater. another planet hosted community stakeholder in august, and it was so moving to see the number of

people who took the microphone-everyone had two minutes to say their testimony of what castro theater meant to them and those testimonys showed this building is contributing not just as a architectural monument but plays a role in the lgbtq community that is irrelaceuble able. >> it is beautiful theater. >> it is. my involvement in the theater raised awareness to not only the castro theater to be emblematic of the lgbtq culture and history but also there are many other sites in the city that also contribute to the identity. that is why so many people come to san francisco as a place of freedom and diversity so in my previous work i worked at the world heritage center, so when i joined san francisco

heritage i was thinking why isn't san francisco a world heritage city? for the architecture alone it could be inscribed. golden gate bridge to name a few but the city is so unique in the architecture, the mansioned and historic landmarks so hoping to start a conversation on that with city stakeholders this year. >> that is great. let's talk about your relationship with other agencies. you mentioned economic and office of work force development and planning commission. how do you unt integrate to them? >> these relationships are essential. we are working with office of small business for the legacy business program and the planning department is really one of our most crucial relationships. we meet quarterly with them and we really see how we can support not only historic land

mark listings and historical cultural context statements, strategy for culture districts and city survey among many other activities that really are of concern to both of us. for the office of workforce development, i attended a etmooing recently that the chamber of commerce organized with them on the downtown revitalization and a key goal in that meeting and in the downtown revitalization is to make sure that the city historic culture resources play a key #r0e8 in the economic recovery and revitalization especially after the pandemic. the office of workforce development has the city build program which is admirable program where youth are trained in construction techniques for rebuilding and especially with the new housing legislation, and we really want to see how can that workforce be expanded to include training in

historic preservation. we have so many victorian homes, historic buildings and other places that really need a skilled labor force to make sure that they are preserved and that they help keep the special identify of the city. we really value these relationships, we meet quarterly with the various organizations and we are really grateful for grants of the arts we receive and other supports so definitely that is a key relationship for san francisco heritage. >> the city build is great. i like that a lot. thank you so much for the time you have given today. appreciate you coming on the show. >> thank you so much raising awareness about san francisco heritage. we hope the people watching will join us in the mission to help keep san francisco special. thank you. >> that's it for this episode. we'll be back shortly. i'm chris manners, thanks

you. thank you. remember catalano? here remember cunningham, denning, absent vice chair, d'antonio here. remember freedom bought here. terry williams absent. you do not have corn at this time. would you like to move forward with informational meeting? yes. thank you. okay, um so we'll go to the land acknowledgment. we acknowledge that we are on the unseated ancestral homeland of the remote to show alone. who are the original inhabitants of the san francisco peninsula as the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions. there are my tushie alone. i have never seated, lost nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place as well

as for all the peoples who reside in their traditional territory. as guests. we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. we wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders and relatives of the remote community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. are we? sorry. i don't know. what's the next vote. at this point, we do not have enough members to vote, so we'll move on to item number two. okay um so discussion possible action items, so presentation of the mayor's proposed budget and the proposed ordinance to temporarily adjust oko service area appropriation thresholds to authorize the spending plan. so i think we have a presentation now by g. whitley. thank you. thank you.

good afternoon, members of the oak oversight committee members of the public amg whitley, are you she? her pronouns from the deputy director for administration and finance for the department of homelessness and supportive housing, and i'll be sharing with you. um some updates from the mayor's proposed budget as it relates to the r city our home. fund spending as well as trailing legislation introduced in the budget. so first just a by briefly introducing this topic. um the city in close partnership with community and people with lived experience just released its five year strategic plan goals. those goals are listed here and really focus on reducing homelessness overall as well as a 50% reduction and unsheltered homelessness. um, center, um, racial equity by

reducing inequities, increasing exits to homelessness, supporting housing, success and housing stabilization and then preventing homelessness. and so both the hsh budget and this proposal, um, makes efforts to achieve those five year goals. the next slide shows you the additional investments that the planned models to be able to achieve those reductions in homelessness over the five year period. it calls for a, uh significant expansion and prevention services. um 43,000 additional households to be served over the five years. 1000 and 75 new shelter beds and 3250 new permanent housing slots. this is on top of everything, currently, um, opened both at hsh and coming online to the mayor's office of housings

affordable housing pipeline. so with that background, um the mayor, um the mayor's office and her team have made pretty significant changes to what the department brought to you back in april and have proposed an updated two years spending plan along with trailing legislation some key points and this is really an outline of my presentation today. the plan. um funds all currently funded oko programs to continue on pace it supports the new investments that i heard from this committee within the base of the plan. it uses one time reallocation to start funding. um 55% of the shelter goals. excuse me the housing goals 34% of the prevention goals to achieve a reduction in homelessness overall. it remains closely aligned with the original oko statutory allocations while providing the department

flexibility needed to address other unmet community needs, including those for youth and families in our shelter, shelter and prevention systems and continues to expand programming for housing, including housing dedicated for transitional age, youth and families. and what? you what? you aren't seeing much of in this presentation is hsh is overall two year budget, which i'm very pleased to say that in a very challenging budget cycle, there are no cuts to our hsh budget. there's actually expansion, including expansion, serving youth and families. um both prevention, shelter and housing. so as this committee well knows, um, the homelessness gross receipts tax ordinance passed by the voters does include a provision that allows the board of supervisors to amend this article by ordinance by a two thirds vote. but only to further the findings

and intent to set forth in the homelessness, grocery seats. text ordinance and the allocation. um in this slide shows, um, the allocation that's listed in that ordinance, and i won't walk you through all of that. i know you're very familiar that at least 50% of the funds go to are allocated towards housing. there's a 10% cap on the fund annually for shelter and hygiene of 15% camp on prevention and then a 25% minimum. um for mental health services. so in the mirrors, proposed two year budget and trailing legislation. it does a couple of things. it proposes a one time reallocation of either unspent or unprogrammed, where projects haven't been identified of cocoa revenue to address some of the most urgent and unmet needs in a challenging budget cycle that continues to make progress towards those five year citywide goals. it does call for suspending the 12% cap for two

years. this is a cap on short term rental subsidies. those are subsidies that are less than five years to be able to achieve a significant ramp up and rapid re housing as called for in the strategic plan. next year in fiscal year 23 24, which starts july 1st. it would reallocate 20.6 million in cocoa revenue to serve general housing prevention for all populations and shelter services rather than exclusively in those youth and family housing categories. in fiscal year 24 25, the revenue adheres to the statutory presented percentages. there's no change in the revenue reallocation, and , um, it recognizes that the department and the city have gotten, um sort of unprecedented funds from the state and re appropriate savings that were budgeted in the oco fund for youth and housing to those other categories. general housing

prevention and shelter. and so the next slide just shows you in a very detailed chart. what the what the ordinance would do to that revenue allocation. so another update. since we were before you in may. is that on excuse me in april and on may 10th the comptroller's office updated the revenue projections for the two year budget. and there was an additional $8 million reduction in each year of the budget, both the current year the budget year in fiscal year 24 25 hsh share of that over the two year proposed budget. you'll notice that these revenue numbers don't exactly match what we brought to you in april and reflect that, um, $12 million reduction. allocated proportionately, um, in the first year of the budget. revenue is re allocated from tae

and family housing categories to general housing, overall prevention and shelter. and you see the percentages there. um and then, in the second year of the budget, as i mentioned, it goes back to the statutory allocation. the next slide shows you a view of how this plan looks within the budget. so the first line of the chart shows you sources and then below uses just by category, and so there's 291.3 business tax revenue appropriated for h s h in mental health. this does not include the admin funds, um, in the first year of the budget, and then in the second year of the budget 295.4 million in revenue , and then that comes in the additional re appropriation of 39.4 million in the second year of the budget. um, what will happen technically, is that that 39.4 million if this proposal

were to pass would be appropriated in the current year in the financial system, but then re appropriated in the second year of the bed. budget. and so then on the uses categories that shows you on a dollar for dollar level where all of that money is going, and housing and prevention, shelter and then mental health. there are no changes to the mental health allocation. the next slide goes into a little more detail about where that reallocating revenue and fund balances going for a total of 60 million over the two year budget and what it aims to accomplish. in the general housing category , it would fund 350 additional slots of adult rapid re housing as part of a ramp up to 350 slots in the second year of the budget 3.4 million in the first year, going up to 10.6 in the second year. it would also in the second year of the budget,

um, fund a new 75 unit. um either master lease. this would not be enough for an acquisition but to lease a new adult permanent housing, say and provide operations and, um, support services for 75 adults were couples. uh the second piece here is really around expanding prevention and a time where we know households are in need of this service as well as we're having a lot of success with our prevention providers being able to get those dollars out the door, so there's an additional 750 slots of homelessness prevention that would be emergency rental assistance. um funded at 8.1 million in each year of the budget. the second line is a recognition of what we've been hearing from the community about latin, a youth and latin a homelessness and provides

additional problem solving slots for 75 youth as well as staffing at our mission access points, and then there's another $2 million in the second year of the budget, and we talked about that a little bit about the weakness and the second year of the budget. around our prevention funding with this additional revenue news. we are using some of this one time money to continue to provide services at the existing level for all of our prevention services, as well as add those additional prevention and problem solving slots. and then finally, um. 8.14 million in the first year of the budget, ramping up to 13.4 million in the second is funding a variety of shelter and interventions. some of those are new beds. some of those are expanded services, and so in the first year of the budget that would fund operations for what we expect to

be a cabin site in district 10. in the base plan. you may remember we had put in money for construction and to continue services at least through december at pier 94, but we need to find a replacement site in that district for shelter services, and this would find that this would run the operating for those beds. we don't have a specific bed count. we would need to have a fit test done for the site we're looking at. but we've estimated at a minimum. it would be 60 cabins. um the second line is really trying to expand upon a new pilot program with the office of financial empowerment, uh, vehicular assistance program and 150,000 year and this is really trying to assist people experiencing homelessness that may need their vehicle repaired to get back to work, or they want to potentially. swap out

their vehicle have a vehicle buyback programs so more to come on that, but that's sort of the pilot we're looking at with the office of financial empowerment. this reallocation plan also would expand hours at one of vista, horace mann family shelter. this is a shelter based at a school site but does not operate when school is closed, and this would be the resources for at least 100 and 50, plus days when schools close to be able to keep that shelter open for families, it would also expand hours and the next line for hospitality house, which is an adult shelter to 24 7. and it would secure funding on the next line for, um 60 cabins in the mission district last year. in the budget, there was general fund dollars appropriated to build out that site, but we do not have operating funds identified. and so this was part of the department's budget request. that is, um the mayor's office has funded through this

reallocation plan. the next slide. i wanted to just mentioned how the mayor's office proposal incorporated the committee's requests that i heard in the first section. um we understood that our proposal to allocate one time funds for women there are rapid re housing model was problematic. and so those funds have been reprogrammed to be permanent, flexible housing pulse subsidies to serve women experience. rinsing homelessness. excuse me. and then it's those subsidies will be ongoing and future years of the budget at a $2 million per year funding level. um the take housing, um, continues to find now. three new t housing sides, including the committee's desire to see more of a bridge housing model, so there's some

10 million in the budget for additional tae housing acquisition funds. we expect at least six of the funds we already have now that we're spending down or those future funds could be used to purchase a dedicated tay bridge housing site to model that program. we have also moved up the operating dollars for a bridge housing site to both years of the budget plan we proposed to you in april only had that in the second year of the budget. and as i mentioned, um, the department is still spending down a balance of 66 million and it's tae housing acquisition funds, and we're moving forward with the purchase of two new sites. one side is 42 units at 11 76 folsom street. we are applying for state home key dollars to both help with the acquisition cost and short term operating funds. and then, um, we are very close to announcing a second site that we hope to be

able to announce soon. one of those sites will be dedicated to serve transgender youth exiting homelessness. in a culturally competent, supportive way. the other funding requests that was incorporated on the family housing category was a request for a new shallow subsidy program or an expansion to that existing program. so um this budget now includes an additional 1.5 year. um 4 60 news, lots of family shallow subsidy programming and then on the shelter, but budget um we've the mayor's office has added $50,000 in the first year of the budget to augment 1.2 million that is rolling out the door over the next two years to add an additional 10 emergency hotel vouchers for family needed families needing emergency shelter. um outside the two year budget period, but on an ongoing basis for planning purposes,

we're assuming at least an ongoing investment of 600,000. and then there is another change to the expenditure. yes. thank you for letting me know. um and then the other change in the budget is that um uh, not part of the legislative legislative change, but other expenditure changes you may notice and, um, these slides is that there were as 3.9 million and eligible general fund housing costs in excess of what's required in the homelessness spending baseline that was established in fiscal year 2018 to the oco funds. um the this use of oco funds is not supplanting any of the requirements of the city. those

funds are staying within hsh s budget to expand shelter bed capacity, at least an additional 332 beds within the homelessness response system. and this requires no legislative change to implement. my final slide, and then really the rest of the slides break all of this out in detail, and you have that in your packet is, um, really, to help provide some context for, um you know why this why the mayor made some of these decisions around the funding real allocation. and as you've heard me talk about another presentations, we've leveraged an unprecedented amount of state and federal resources. for young adults and families over the last year and a half. many of those funding, many of those funds were assumed to come out of the cocoa budget in our prior appropriations, and that has freed up funds that we think on a one time basis can be rolled out to other, you know, urgent

needs in the community. um and so 70 million and family permanent housing leverage from honky as well as 23.8 million from the state and youth home key awards. we've partnered with the san francisco housing authority to include 50 federal federally funded project based vouchers at city gardens. that's our new family housing site, and that's enabled us to reduce the impact on the oco budget by 2.3 million annually. we've been successful in leveraging, um not only leveraging federal emergency housing vouchers but making sure those are really targeted to families and young adults and our community, especially in, um district 10. and we've leveraged four rounds of state homeless, housing and assistant prevention grant funding from the state, which includes the 7% set aside for tae and those funds have really been critical in having us build

with limited english skills. a miracle asleep, found myself in san francisco. during my year in san francisco. i personally went to the support system provided by larkin street, and i'm a living example of how a small assistance can change an entire life. today i want to talk about why it's important for the government to invest more in transitional housing instead for just temporary shelters for the homeless issue of homeless is a big problem that needs serious action, while temporary shelters can provide a quick place to stay, they don't really solve the long term problem of helping homeless people get back on their feet and become independent. transitional housing is a better solution. it not only gives people a place to live but also provides support like medical services, job training and help finding work. this helps homeless individuals gain the skills they need to rebuild their lives and become

self sufficient again. investing in transitional housing is also good for you for our city's economy. when homeless individuals have stable housings . they can actively contribute to the workforce and feel better about themselves. this makes our society stronger and more prosperous. i know. investing in transitional housing, real cost more money. but in the long run , it's an investment in the future of our city and its people. mayor i ask you to think about putting more resources into transitional housing is he'll make a real difference in solving homelessness and creating a city where everyone has a change to live with dignity. thank you. thank you for listening. and i'm here to answer any questions you may have next public comment, sir, please in person. committee my

name is marty regan knew she, her pronouns and with orkin street youth services. i'm also the co chair of hezbollah and chair of the taste of community has spa. um we on behalf of hezbollah, um, and the taste of committee. we 100% oppose the reallocation of property funds from the tail and family allocations. um it is not a one time reallocation. this is a permanent loss of funding. um, after these funds are swept they will be needed to sustain the new priorities, which primarily are in the adult system. and while we completely support shelter for adults, it shouldn't come at the expense of less housing for tae and families. it also should not be heavily weighted in just shelter somewhere, people will just languish without services. um we are seriously concerned with the reduction in housing for transitional age youth that this will result in, um we have done

the math. uh it's a leaves us with about 150 youth if we're lucky, who will be housed and close to 1000 on the streets, according to the pit count, um. we're asking that this be looked at and questioned. um, we are strongly asking that the board not approve this. it will be devastating for youth and families and we'll reverse the steady decline that we have been making in youth. homelessness. you look at the pit count. it has been steadily declining. and if this passes, we will see an increase. it's the bottom line. this is not an exaggeration. on behalf of the tape providers were, um, very afraid of what this could end up having on the streets. thanks. good afternoon committee members. my name is

charles defarges, director of policy at e. c. s um, here to express our strong opposition to the mayor's proposed reallocation of our city. our home funds away from 10 family housing and towards shelter expansion and adult rapid re housing. we do, of course support. um, adopt prevention and housing. what we don't support is those programs coming at the cost of tae and family housing. these allocations within the prop c. they've been carefully planned over years of community process. you all know this better than anybody. so this reallocation policy aside is a subversion. both of the voters will and of the community process that has led to these allocations. so i appreciate you all taking your friday afternoon of everybody in the room. really, um and helping vote this down. thank you. hello everyone

. i'm jamie lang from homeless prenatal program. i'm also a member of treatment on demand coalition and formerly chronically homeless voter of district six. i do not trust the mayor's budget. i do not trust that the mayor's office has the best interests of the people accessing these resources. personally, i do not support spending money on undignified living situations like cabins and congregate shelters. and one year long subsidies. our city. our home has been a lot of time working on allocating every penny of the funds, and i think we should stick to the plan that we've already decided on. i do not support the mayor's proposal. to adjust the funds. please don't know and keep our families and youth safe. thank you. hi good afternoon. members of the committee. sherilyn adams , she her pronouns arkan street youth services member of health

spa, also here to oppose the reallocation of the funding from tank and families to it needed an important adult services, but we need to sustain and maintaining grow the number of beds that we have for young people and families. i think it's really critical to highlight marnie's point, which is we've looked at, like the no . this change if it goes through will mean that there's about 100 . new beds added to the system and some problems. 75 problem solving all of the beds and the taste system except for the shelter and now center our two year or three year or indefinite time frames. people stay in permanent, supportive housing and people stay or stay in transitional for two years. so the churn is slow. it's not many not much right. so once those beds are filled, the young people will have nowhere to go until somebody leaves a bed or leaves their unit. right so it's very slow and the rapid re

housing that we have the allocation that's currently in the budget, uh, relies on private funds to match and those private funds are coming to a natural end as a part of a campaign. so that was private funds will find even less rapid rehousing than we have right now, so the number goes down. and more young people stay outside and we lose the incredible progress we have made in reducing youth homelessness. so i really vote against this for both families and for today. legislative. when i started director of the organization. to keep, but mayor the common stan

once again. my name is sarah gonzalez, executive director of the organization. we're here to as the mayor to leave the funds they are and proposed ct chancy. because we have a lot of families that are in it, and also the childrens that are outside. they need a place to stay while the parents are working in in order to have the parents to improve the economy and have more opportunities to stay in a permanent home, um i live in is important. tambien understanding padres estan trabajando is important consent as a. i also would like to say that i was homeless before and to have a shelter for a few months. it helps it really helps. but not the way that you

think because i stayed there for a little bit and they had to live and i become homeless again with my daughter. she was a little baby and the place where i was rented and it was a hotel and they take me out of the hotel at midnight with my little baby. he was even hard. that's why i am here. to us to make to the major, too. eating twice before they come down past this proposition. thank you, right? started his journey, liliana, uh and also. latinos, one of the familiars is custom. osaka scandal. needle was see opportunity otras pamela's latinas. which is gracia. senor

fact that it can impact our youth and it's going to impact. our youth is just just devastating as well. i won't london breed to know. yes vote on this budget proposal will increase homelessness for tae and families now and increase adult chronic homelessness later last year, just one provider compass family services support. more than 2500 families needed and seeking housing, support, housing and housing, support services and housing stabilization, only 14% of the city's homeless housing eunuchs are families with children. on any given day in san francisco area conference in san francisco , nearly 1100 youth are experiencing homelessness and more than half are african american. nearly 1000 new youth fall into homelessness each year rating tae housing funds will will mean that only 15% of you see housing resources will receive them leaving 850 youth. how in the cold this year, so we just won't london breeds and know that we want to say no on

this road, so it's i just want want her to understand how this is going to be impact our youth and being that i'm a mother and i'm raising young children understand how devastating this is. so i want to say no. on this vote. thank you. hello everyone . my name is liz and the budget intern at the coalition of homelessness. i just want to start by saying that mayor breed should care that she's robbing $60 million from families and youth because it's hard to believe that many families will be able to get through the difficult situation that they're dealing with to find housing, and we most recently met a family that was waiting 10 years for section eight and the mother passed away. and so she was approved and she was not able to get the housing because of the situation, but there was a situation where the teenage daughter was able to get the housing and so we want to share

that. you know, families like myself that waited over 11 years for my housing on the waitlist would like to share that taking $60 million from families and youth will make it a lot more difficult for the future youth to grow and have stability. so thank you. it's cold outside. and babies need beds. thank you. hi my name is lunch. and i'm here to say no, no to the mayor. um i work with the cdc and coalition, um, homelessness and the subsidy organizer there. and i was seeing how change to have a house for everybody in the city. and i'm here to ask. mayor breed pleased to reach peak about where she is relocating the money, so please don't take the money from the position. proposition. c, um and, uh, yeah , and i hope she can like see where she's spending the money

and maybe take it from other places. thank you. good afternoon. happy friday. um my name is hope, kemer she her pronouns co chair of the working compass family services. i'm the co chair of the family subcommittee of health spa. taken together my provider colleagues and i support over 8000 homeless families in the city and are the public safety net. we strongly oppose the mayor's plan to reallocate funds away from homeless families and tae proposition c. um last friday in the homelessness and behavioral health select committee hearing chair supervisor ronin shared quote. we are thrilled to share that the waitlist for family emergency shelter is at zero. this is patently untrue. there are 87 families on the emergency shelter. wait list. i passed by many of them in our lobby on my walk to this meeting. the mayor's budget from and so dangerous, insidious narrative that because the homeless family

population is harder to see, they do not exist. they do these families exist. we are systematically under equipped to support them. please don't do this. thanks. is it hot in here? this is sarah short and with home rise and, um uh, we are permanent supportive housing providers and we do take housing. we do family housing. we also do adult housing. and from that perspective, that's exactly why it feels really painful for us to have these, uh , communities pitted against one another another and the needs of homeless folks, um, pitted against one another. we believe we can serve all and we should serve all but more so we should prioritize based on urgent needs. and also who's sort of been getting the resources versus where they've been sort of short shrift id and that's what's happening here. we know that the tae youth and the family resources have been at

much smaller percentages over time than you know your your standard adult housing, and that's exactly why the very brilliant committed folks on the oko board. um designed the allocations and the way that they did, and the folks that that design prophecy, of course , that there was an understanding that that's where the need is. it was based on evidence that was based on, um, experience. it was based on, um the people they were serving and providing in their agencies and, um the, um. the idea that, um, you know, to hell with that essentially, which is what we're hearing from this budget message right now, um, we're gonna you know, use this for a whole other purpose is probably super problematic and offensive, disregarding the process and the vote. will the voters mind you but also um, very, very harmful to those who are right now on

the streets, um, and we're talking about imagining teenagers. we're talking about families with little babies living in their cars. i mean, these are the people that will suffer from this one. last thing i want to say is banco brown. thank you. hola uh, respect elbrus familiar is more important. then? i don't know. that are definitive to this pandemic. dodo. when i do that. but. yes. are there any

additional in person public comments? thirst. i see none so i will move forward with taking the public comments on the phone. moderator, can you please and meet the first caller? hello, color. you have two minutes. yeah, let me see if we can get this color. moderator can we get the first color? i see that you needed this person. if this color does not respond, please move to the next speaker, please.

i'm sorry. we don't hear this color. okay? so yes. sorry about that. yes, yes, we hear you now. thank you. okay. hi this is kristen evans, commissioner on the homeless oversight commission. we are, unfortunately, didn't have a properly noticed meeting this month and weren't able to take a vote. um, and, uh, after a presentation, um, the department on this proposed reallocation. i have significant concerns, which i've within our hearing, and i know that other commissioners shared those consists as well. but shelter ultimately is actually more expensive and housing in the long run, and we have to really prioritize the limited dollars that we have. um

prophecy was envisioned to go upstream and homework, chronic homelessness and we need to prioritize the persons with and for our families and youth, because we know that homeless children that experience homelessness for six months or more have significant lifelong impacts that childhood experienced homelessness is five times more likely to experience. homelessness is an adult are golden cropsey was to make a significant improvement and reducing the overall homelessness challenge that we've been experiencing in our city, and it's very short sighted to re prioritize money for what is very expensive. adult shelter. the time happens are not an expensive shelter beds. they are estimated to be somewhere between 90 or $100,000 . for more and so as a completely shortsighted and expensive choice to reallocate those funds away from, uh the

bucket and then intent that we had all those further say that somebody that was a proponent for prophesying. we also made a commitment to the voters about how we were going to spend property funds and i'm not wild about a precedent of, um, explaining to voters why the funds were spent differently than the way that they intended . thanks so much. thank you. at this time, we'll take the in person public commenter. and we want to start. this is juanita. he is latina. e is them was your winant. but can withstand. apartheid programas monomania is mcara. party and trabajos recommended kara. yes, it's the loan officers found those. ah i

don't want. started necesita. oh, sorry to i don't want to see, um. is there. ohio. diego is then. guys i didn't humbles the marshals, homeless resistant animals, matsuura. e. it's a your non knowledge was homeless because standing stand down on matsuura. adelante. years okay? the lost programmers scarred areas. what our gracias. thank

you. moderator, can we take the next phone public comment, please? afternoon committee members. my name is this eliana venture, and i'm the policy manager for glide. um i'm calling in against the changes to the property funding categories, um, shifting away from getting from canada. transitional abuse and family music is shortsighted. um the other commentators have noted, limiting opportunities to exit nonsense for these vulnerable populations of the long term impact of increasing the number of chronically homeless adults. and family providers are already struggling to provide services, shelter and housing to everyone who wants and needs it. divestment will only further

exacerbates the need. families are undercounted in the point in tank count and are often invisible eyes, couchsurfing sleeping cars and sorrows, but they're still in dire need of support. san francisco has a history of under investing in youth and families, which has serious implications, given the long term damages. that experience of homelessness inflict on children and young people. homeless children are five times more likely than their peers to become homeless as adults. homelessness among children has been linked to lower academic achievement, the higher absenteeism from school 50% of people experiencing homelessness and centrists took san francisco had their first episode of homelessness before there were 25 ending homelessness for families and children present these young people from becoming the city's next generation of homeless adults. this is why property was designed with set percentages and emphasis on investing in children and families. and that is why ochoa's original

recommendations should we be respected? thank you. thank you. we'll take the next caller over the phone. hi my name is karen adams and i'm in leadership at homeless youth alliance. and i also want to echo the other commenters that we oppose the mayor's reallocation of family and pay funds. to echo. um another comments are we did not support what we feel and community members share with us funding, undignified emergency shelter solutions and cabins where taste specifically and consistently and historically report feeling unsafe. families and youth are significantly undercounted in the pit count there often hidden populations experiencing homelessness, and it's not that these populations and it's not that populations and providers don't have a plan

and haven't made recommendations for these unspent funds is that these populations have not been prioritized to execute the many plans and strategies our community has been asking for years. this is not even to speak to the current portfolios of k and family housing, not adequately meeting the needs of the current residents and not being funded in a capacity. that is beyond survival. that helps these people thrive. that helps them exit the system that helps them live, dignified lives. we want to support keeping families intact and support these allocated funds remaining in oko so that these children do not become take experiencing homeless do not become adults experiencing homelessness and do not become further traumatized. the funds the mirror are looking for must be allocated outside of cocoa. thank you. thank you. there are no additional public comments for this agenda item. okay thank you, antonio. sorry,

um, point of process. we had a miscommunication with the mayor's office, and they have actually sworn in a new member before this meeting earlier this week, but we did not hear about it, but it's here now and so i have corn when she gets here. i want to invite barney preston to come forward. she's been here, but i didn't want to interrupt the commenters. um but we sorry for the miscommunication there. we didn't know you love it or the barrier. so she have a name like bonnie preston? no, no one. sorry no, um, we don't. okay? welcome. uh, like walking into controversy. um um. vice chair,

d. antonio i had some follow up questions for gigi is, um, can we do those now or i think i think it's our time to okay. comments. yeah. please make sure speaking the mic as well. oh, sorry. not it was probably me, so the recording can hear you okay? yes. like that would be impossible not to hear me. i have the loudest voice. um so, um, okay. i noticed a few things in here. that um, for i noticed that in the i don't know is if it's a hassle, well, maybe you don't need to pull back up the slides. but on the chart that shows the you know the columns with the general housing summary, um, that kind of, um moves for the for the families. um i noticed that the, um, family shelter line. um it was originally this is in the shelter category. um further

oasis operating increased by 820 k in the mayor's budget. and i'm assuming that 600 k can be accounted for the um, one of vista, horace mann. daytime services, but i was curious about the other 220. i'm sorry to interrupt. um we have one more public commenter on the phone. just now. can you take that? please? great. thank you. moderator, can you please admit the caller on the phone, please? right but on the chart that shows the, uh. hello color you have two minutes with the general housing summary kind of, um president family. i noticed that the family shelter line it was originally, uh, category, um , watching back the recording operating the question down this color. thank you. sound good,

okay? yeah. so let's see. so the emergency. um, yeah, the emergency shelter in housing. we had a increase in family shelter. yes. so g. whitley she her pronouns deputy director, hsh. um so. this is just a typo in the roll up. this is the increases the 600,000 to add, um , the extended hours at buena vista, horace mann and the hospitality house shelter as well. it's rolled up into a line that says family shelter. thank you for finding our typo. and we'll correct that and correct it for our website, okay? and then another question. um. was that, um. so on the psh adult

operations, it was at 15. 0.1 was the proposal. you guys brought us and then the mayor's budget is 21.3, which is a six point 1.5 million difference. um but then it looks like we're adding 4.25. so it looks like we got an extra couple million in there. um. i think it's just that for display purposes. so um , what you're seeing here is the mayor's overall spending plan, including uh, any carry forward fund balance? um that the difference between the two there . there's really no difference. our plan showed you fund balance for carrying forward plus the new allocation. this rolls it up into one line item. and then in the second year of the budget that 4.2 million is the reallocating funds for an additional site. so um, you

know, i didn't highlight that change because there's no dollar for dollar change. it's for display purposes, the mayor's proposed column includes both the use of any carry forward funds. what we showed you was just a more detailed breakout. okay, i'm realizing that there's a difference between the spreadsheet emily's sent out in this one. and so that must have been a error that was corrected already. apologies. um and then . um. yeah, so i i'm wondering if, um. well, all that the other members ask questions. i've got a couple more, but i want to kind of gather my thoughts a little bit more. yeah. um yes, remember, catalano. thank you, um. thank you for the

presentation. i think i have two questions. one is the presentations that have been shared from the department about the strategic plan. really focused on this coming fiscal year being a strengthening and building year and then if i understand, intentionally putting off expansion of shelter capacity, certain permanent housing expanded capacity to future years, acknowledging the need to stabilize what's currently in the pipeline and operational and so my first question is what's changed, um, to be able to now re appropriate this budget into certain programs that are listed here, the additional rapid re housing the additional permanent supportive housing additional shelter and the tab bridge housing project, which in our previous meeting was sort of a capacity constraint. and second question is related to the strategic plan as well, which is what we've been um, what has

been shared with us is that there was no credit sort of sub population specific planning and that that still remains to be done to understand what the needs are forte and families. and so how do these new budget proposals from the mayor's office. it seems like those are far proceeding any sub population specific planning that could inform what they need is and what we heard from the community and from providers, which is a very different story about what the need is for family housing. you can speak to both those points, please. sure, thank you. for those thoughtful questions, g whitley again. um so you're absolutely correct. the strategic plan really did conceive of the first year of the plan, which would be fiscal year. 23 and 24 has more of a planning capacity building and then starting to fund in fiscal year. 24 25. this plan, um, is still in line with that, and so you'll see that the new rapid re housing the additional housing expansion are really in year two of the budget. we you know, we

need a bunch of that funding before we can implement. so that's that's part of the logic . the second piece is that the strategic plan did call for 820 additional slots of prevention to start next fiscal year. and this plan also addresses that to start immediately next fiscal year. where as i said, we think our providers have capacity. we know that we're seeing people at the family, youth and all of our access points that hopefully can be diverted from shelter diverted from homelessness with this additional emergency rental assistance, so i think that was part of the logic and then on the shelter side, you know. uh one of us a horseman. hospitality house. these are requests from providers where we think we can expand additional capacity without you know, sort of additional effort by the department. the vehicular assistance program. this is already a pilot with the office

of financial empowerment that is otherwise going to expire. we're not really going to be able to evaluate the pilot if we don't sort of continue it and then the cabins. um you know, both and district 10 and the mission cabins are really a recognition of those projects were funded. the mission cabins acquisition was funded last year by the mayor and the board in the budget, but there was no operating funds identified and so we're on pace to open a new site in october, but this was a departmental budget request, and this is how the mayor has chosen to fund that on the d 10 cabins project again. we have shelter closing and district 10. we've had a very successful as everyone here knows pure 94 trailers program that we stood up during covid. that program is winding down. although you know we've been inactive conversations with the porter commission to give us as much

extension time as possible. and so really needing to replace capacity, so from the department's perspective, it very much honors the plan and the timing, um and starts to make a down payment with, um you know, some one time funds more than some but 60 million of one time bands that we think we can immediately get out on the street. um you know, for the future planning, that is still very much a priority, and i think that's why it's important that the revenue allocations are not permanently altered. we're still seeking additional resources from the state. and um you know, there is still room within those two family and to buckets and future years of the plan. to execute those priorities as that planning process wraps up, so it's trying to thread that needle and do both. as i said, in an extremely

challenging budget environment, where unfortunately many departments are experiencing pretty significant reductions in our department is not can you just give up on that second question, can you well we were hearing in public comment was some um data right and productions or expectations about how this could affect the total population of tae and family, homelessness, and it sounds like given the lack of that sub population analysis in the strategic plan. this budget . we don't haven't we don't have an estimate from the department of how that would affect the populations. well, i would say that we, um you know this funding was not yet programmed for the most part by the department. you know, we've been very conservative hello, chair williams and knowing that there's revenue volunteer. um, volunteers. excuse me volatility. um and we believe and you know, our reserves demonstrate that there is still room within a and family housing

in fiscal year 24 25 and 25 26 to continue the momentum we've started, but that we're not in a position to sort of leave one time funds on the table. um while you know when other needs , including, you know, prevention, not just problem solving but also prevention services for tan families could roll out the door. um more quickly. so again, it's i understand the concern and the comment, i think, as the department speaking for the department we're very sensitive to that and want to hear the feedback from the community, but also knowing that we're in a very challenging budget environment where we have so far not had any cuts to programs and we still have an expansion budget. but this is a difficult budget with real trade offs. um i have some comments, i guess.

no, not really questions. um and then i'll pass it off to other members. um yeah. i think like, just echoing what? um we've heard today. historically families and youth have received way less funding. i think we're doing a lot better now. um i think historically we were at like 3% for families before this, um we've seen a huge reduction and you homelessness due to this 46% was what we heard in our last meeting. um so personally, i oppose the changes . there's some things that i think are interesting and i would be interested in looking at them for the falling budget year. um but for now, like i personally oppose this, but, um , are there any other members that have comments or yeah, i would like to comment on. yeah, and just second, the. comments of the other members who have

spoken in and a lot of what we heard from community. everything really, um we have a situation where we have a lack of parity between families, youth and single adults. um we have about 20% of our homeless population is transitional age youth and in this year's budget about 7% of the budget. it's going up to 8% next year about 9% for families next year. um and they make up about 27% of the homeless population and i arrived at that number by looking at a real count of homelessness. not the point in time count, which, as we all know, does not count families and only counts families and shelters. because families are hidden, but they do show up at the doorsteps of providers. they show up at our public schools. um they show up at family resource centers. um they're living in cars. they're living in rvs. as you heard from a lot of the people who spoke today they're living on the streets. they're afraid of getting their kids snatched by cps, so they stay hidden. that's what they do. and um, what we're

trying to do. what we were trying to do with prophecy is to have on the new dollars some parody that doesn't make up for the lack of parity in the existing system. we still they're going to be way off kilter and what we do know what we know from science is that when kids and youth when their brains aren't fully developed, are experiencing these traumatic events it affects them for the rest of their lives. it does permanent damage, so the very least we can do is have some parody in our system. and i really don't appreciate the pitting of the populations against each other. we have a $14 billion city budget. we have a administration completely unwilling to spend on homelessness outside of state funds and props. see funds. that's not okay. this is the number one issue in san francisco. there's a lot of other stuff that's already been spent. we just had a massive expansion of street cleaning. massive they pulled out of the reserves. okay i love clean streets. i hate seeing trash on the streets. are human beings.

more important, i would say they are. i would say they are so you know that that piece um and also in terms of money left on the table. i want to say a couple of comments about that, and i understand that that's what's the thinking from the administration. i get where they're coming from on it. um, but i have a very different perspective. um. we we plan with prop c and we expect home key funds to come in. we don't know for sure they're going to come in. but we know like when we're when we're estimating the number of units we're going to get out of housing. we give a range and we can do the higher range if we get the home key, and if we don't so it affects it affects how much we can do on our acquisitions. but when the funds come back in that loosens us up to then do more acquisitions. and if you look at the whole strategy around prop c it's to do every year over several years acquisitions and then we do operating until several years down the line. prop c is going to be steady, and it's going to

be paying for operating of all this expansion of capacity. right. so this represents this represents next year, one third of the combined family and, um, youth housing dollars. one third that we're going to be taking away from those populations. and so, um and we are leaving it on the table because the thing is that if you look at the way, it's done. we're leaving it on the table until next year until , uh, not the next fiscal year. but the year after that, so year, too, so we have another year to figure out the best way to use these resources. so it feels like it's more like about the press release and about that kind of stuff. then about why we need to do this. this was done very last minute. we got input from thousands, you know, over 1000 people in this planning process to really carefully do a plan and then all of a sudden without being presented to this body, which was what the voters wanted. they wanted people's oversight body for a real reason . they were frustrated with the

with the city's response on this issue. that's that's our responsibility as a body to do it, so that that there's no need on that 40 million for us to make decisions about that right now we can move forward and then next year very carefully figure out do we want to go back to the board of supervisors and adjust those funds? maybe maybe we do, but maybe we don't and it's just like having this like last minute things, so i'd like to take the year. two stuff just totally off the table. um and then, anyway, so those are my comments, and i'd like to, um uh , i want to hear from the other members first, but i have a couple of motions in mind. and i know we have a five o'clock hard stop. i tried to be very fast. okay for the record. we also do have warm. we have chair williams who have joined and also we have member preston, who has joined yeah, we should. um i'm sorry. vice chair. thank you. vice chair d'antonio for getting this through, and i guess we're going to call the meeting. officially the order and start with roll call and

welcome everyone. thank you for joining us. remember catalano member cunningham denning. absent vice chair. d'antonio here, remember free nobody here. chair williams here member preston. here and welcome to member preston. thank you for joining us. all right? um, so if it's okay, i would like to kind of add to member freedom box comments and thank you, director whitley and thank you, director cohen for being here. we know that the city is going through a really, really tough budget crisis right now, given everything that we have experience with covid 19. we can all see it right? i mean, i grew up in the city and then going downtown and just seeing the lack of folks coming back to downtown. we know that we have real budgetary issues. i think for us in this body like as it was mentioned thinking upstream and really what we've always discussed thinking about inflows and outflows into homelessness is something that you know we thoughtfully invested a lot of time and effort with, you know, with the departments with our constituents with the listening sessions with all of the work

that we put into really crafting a robust strategic plan that we know is going to move the needle. i think that for me the question that i have is we know there's unspent funding. we know we have a reserve. is there a way to say, hey, we want to borrow now. um i do agree that year to that we should take that off the table. but you know, knowing that we have unspent funds and alcohol reserve. can we work together to say hey, we can borrow during these hard times. but how do we replenish that making sure that we keep on course with the treated plan that we've outlined in the populations that we no need service now i don't wanna what is it called rob peter to pay paul. right our families need the support our single adults need to support pregnant people need the support and thinking about upstream our house list moms and those children that are going to be impacted for many years to come is something that i know the mayor is very interested in it has come forth and supporting looking at the data around impacts of homelessness while pregnant. and so we really want to continue to move the needle on the family's issue on the issue of pregnant

folks on our streets and our youth, and we just really feel like we want to continue to work in partnership, um and figure out how we can meet all of these needs and may be thinking about. is there a way to say, hey, we know we're in tough times right now. but we have this this plan. we want to keep on track with that plan and not take away from any of these populations. i really would be interested in having that conversation and to continue our collaboration and not to feel like we're having this top down sort of process where it's already been decided . we're going to the board of supervisors because there is a charter. there is the will of the voters, and this is just, you know, it's really not a good president that we want to send a message that we want to send to the community. what voters believe about our political process. they believe that we're dysfunctional and we want to show our voters different. we want to show that we can collaborate and that politics are not going to get in the way of serving san franciscans that need it most because all these populations need the support now and so we can't take from one group and pick groups against each other, and we really need

to stick to the plan and the careful thought and design and hundreds of hours that we put into this process. i really want to believe that we're not going to let politics get in the way of that, and this is something exactly as member freedomworks said that voters were anticipating and that's why they put this body here. so we really want to work together and for all of us. we've invested a lot of time and energy over three years of hard work, listening to our community and doing this work volunteer. i might add, because we care. and we love our community. and so can we get back to the table and really think about some creative solutions were families and children. pregnant people don't have to wait and we don't take away from from that pot, and we also look at other needs that we have in the single adult category and figure out and work in collaboration together, so i just want to align myself with the comments of my colleagues and really figure out how we can work together and come back to the table and think creatively around how we pull from these funds because it's just not gonna work and everyone has a need. we all have needs our children have needs our tae has needs our families have needs and they need it now, and we

need to buy a choir. buildings to serve our families. we know that that is a huge need, and we were really getting towards moving that needle. so we want to stay on track. so thank you so much for all your hard work. i know this is an immensely hard layered issue, and we're in tough budget times, but we want to stay in communication and collaboration with each other and not be adversarial. so i'll leave it at that and open it up to any other colleagues. sorry for that brand. um g do you know off the top of your head? how much we have in our fund reserve? is it enough to cover the 20 million that's being pulled out for next year. uh let me get back to you on that. okay. thank you. comptroller's office knows no. okay. thank you. um. okay, so do you want to? okay well, i think, um i don't know if member preston remember catalana. if you have any additional thoughts of comments and no member freedom, bach would like to make a motion and we do have quorum, and i

want to acknowledge that member president just joining us in probably catching up to all of these issues. welcome um, you know, i just want to open it up if anyone has any additional questions, and, yeah, again. welcome to member president. but if not our remember, just feel like i'm i'm here to here and, yeah, for sure. this time. thank you so much. member president. so remember freedom box before yours. yeah. so i, um i would like to, um. i'd like to make a series of motions. um, the i'd like to make a general motion that we vote on that. um, first, that um, this that the. funding for housing for families and youth is not reduced and that, um, we encourage, um the mayor's

office to go back and find um, alternative general fund sources , um, for, uh, the list of items that we're gonna pull from, um. what's that? yeah, all right, so there's been moved by member freedom box. is there a second? second okay, so do we have public comment? no public comment, comment earlier, okay, so we'll just take roll. thank you. member catalano. yes remember cunningham, denning absent vice chair, d'antonio. existence. thank you. sergeant just needed clarification. oh, just to restate the motion of motion is not to reduce from the family and youth category. no reductions and to my name didn't yes, and to look at other sources for the funding. yes.

yes we're vice chair. d'antoni member for nobody. yes chair. williams. yes, member preston. yes. okay? so the other, um. let's see so the well. this sort of stuff happy the motion. so for the record, the motion has passed. okay um okay, so, um. i'd like to also move that, um. the item that was for 350 adult rapid re housing um, that we move that over to um, youth, flexible and family flex pool, um in year one, and this is, um . this is to ensure that there's

ongoing housing for those populations. alright. are we going to do? one at a time or? well if we, um i mean, maybe we could have just like a quick discussion. i think because we're generally already we're saying we don't want the funds. um and so i think, basically, maybe i'll change the motions and say that, um, uh, we don't want funding taken out of housing. um and these are some things that we could do with the money instead. and so, um and so, yeah. so the first item i have is, um for $3.4 million to be able to move that to flex housing pool for youth and families. um um, for, um ah! homeless prevention dollars to move to youth shallow subsidy.

um, the 8.1 million um, for the nine um. the 960,000 in problem solving for latin x youth. um i moved that that gets carved out of the problem solving for youth that the mayor added back in, um for 4.5. the $4.5 million that was added back in by the mayor to pull carve out 960,000 of that for problem solving for like latino youth. um ah! to um for the shelter category. um for each of those, um, uh, to really strongly encourage the mayor to find general fund dollars to do that. yeah okay, so it's been moved by a member of freedom bog. is there a second? like to just be a little clear on the motion. if i understood they were sort of these are examples of these are potential things that we could use with the money

instead of, um, pulling them out of family. and you 1000. yeah. alright. is there a second? one second, it's been seconded by vice chair d'antonio, um any further discussion? any questions? maybe if i can just add. i think the examples that were provided are helpful. and i don't know if i need to go back to the motion to making the motion then but that the thrust behind those right is maintaining the focus on permanent housing exits and the feedback that we've heard during public comment during the process of developing the needs assessment and so really drawing from those, um and making sure that kind of is it okay to oriented more towards the process? yeah. um, that being sort of one of the issues that we're seeing with this proposal from the mayor? yeah i accept that friendly amendment, right? alright do you still second vice chair? yes second, and i think the member president. i just, um hmm. this money it sounded like

there is need in the community and their funds. but what's so i'd like more can we have a time when we can go over? you know why that's happening if there needs there, and the funds are there, why aren't why isn't it happening? i don't know if director whitley director calling everyone to answer that i kind of. yeah i know. we have a huge i mean my opinion to a member of president that we do have a large reserve. um so i want to wrap my head around that as well. like why the exchange just in the name of time. like we have one minute. yeah maybe. i think it should be a future. i don't i don't know. is there a deadline for we saw her in conversation so just really quickly for this conversation. if you know we are at one minute director really, really quickly, i guess like 20 seconds and then we'll go to we're gonna vote. whitley. thank you. what i

recommend maybe is, um you know, i can come back on the 22nd and provide more information or respond through controller staff . two questions? um given the limited time now, i don't have an immediate answer. okay? i'm not sure. totally followed. yeah no worries. follow up. we'll follow up and just we'll go to royal secretary home. if you need to. yes, antonio. so we could so we calling rules about that member catalano? yes remember cunningham? denny, absent vice chair. d'antonio yes . freedom bought yes. chair. williams member preston? yes. alright so it's unanimous and i believe with that it is five o'clock and we have a hard stop at five. i don't believe we have any other business future, but the future is that we can move. move that table that so we just need a motion to adjourn. motion
