>> 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 vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair dorsey. >> aye. >> the motion passes without objection. >> thank you, mr. young item 6 the code limit the application. no. we gotta do as amended >> sorry >> [laughter]. okay. >> now i like to make a motion to sends this item to the full board as amended. why on the motion to with the recommendation with positive recommendation, vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye >> chair dorsey.

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 positive recommendation. mr. clerk do we have further business. >> that completes the agenda. >> thank you all, we are adjourned.

[♪♪♪] >> i just don't know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. it is an experience that you can't have anywhere else in san francisco. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. we have four neighborhoods that i represent. st. mary's park has a completely unique architecture. very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in san francisco. the bernal heights district is

unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of san francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very

special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise café. it is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. >> twenty-fourth street is the birthplace of the movement. we have over 620 murals. it is the largest outdoor public gallery in the country and possibly the world. >> you can find so much political engagement park next to so much incredible art. it's another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [♪♪♪] >> it was formed in 2014.

we had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. we worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. most recently, in 2012, there were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. so the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. >> in the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the mission district have been displaced from their community. we all know that the rising cost of living in san francisco has led to many people being displaced. lower and middle income all over the city. because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip public transportation, has, has made it very popular. >> it's a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an

area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. there is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in. there are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesn't completely erase the communities. we try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more equitable development in the area. >> you need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. the people on the businesses that came before you. you need to dialogue and show respect. and then figure out how to bring in the new, without displacing the old. [♪♪♪] >> i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. so we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and

working-class. >> back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street. this is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. we created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. that is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. we have these unique neighborhoods with so much cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve.

>> 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

>> i think a lot of times we get in adult lives we are afraid to follow our passions and think life can't be that easy. but i truly do believe i followed my heart this time in my journal in city government i did not know that is where my passion lied. i kept following it and ltd. to great opportunity to serve the city. [music] >> i'm katy tang the executive director of the office of small business. >> small business contributes to san francisco's economy. they provide the bulk of

employment in the city and employing a million people in san francisco. and roughly 90% of the businesses are defined as small businesses. so, they contribute to the economy but also just the quality of life. small businesses are more then and there a place of transaction it is a community center. a play where people gather. know each other and form memories about the city. >> at the office of mall business i run a team this helps report all mall businesses in san francisco whether they are looking to stfrt a new business or expand or perhaps they are feeling with issues. our office is here as a point of information for anyone with a business that has 100 or nower employees. >> i was growing up i had many ideas of when i wanted to do. i wanted to being an olympic

swimmer. and i wanted to men be an architect, you name it i had many ideas for what i wanted do when i grew up. and i never anticipated entering in politics. this opportunity came along wh started working for former supervisor carmen chu and she became the district 4 sunset district supervisor. that was my firstent row in politics and government in a different level. and so when i was finishing up my time working for legislative aid i thought, i will go off and do something else. may be explore opportunity outside of city government what was then approached by this opportunity to also serve as a district 4 supervisor. if not the traditional route that many people think of when you enter in politics.

a lot know that is manage than i want to do and run for office. that was not part of my culture and upbringing with manage my parents were wondering why i wanted to go in that role this legislation and important because so many women when have it return to work after having a child feel embarrassed or don't feel comfortable asking their supervisor for will any lactation accommodations. i saw it as an opportunity you could use the position where you have tools creating legislation and pass laws and where people listen to to you help the community and pass cause catharsis important to the city and individuals. my family immigrated to the united states from taiwan. and they came here in pronl probably late 20's almost 30. and so, they came also in the knowing english limp barely read

or write but had to quickly understand english to i can't haveigate services and find a job in america. i grew up in the san francisco sunset district i spent most of my childed hoo up until i went off to college. so when i started working in city government, i think i had mixed reactions about my involvement working government because for some of our parents generation, there is i bit of distrust in government. i think there are questions about why i was entering in this field of work. i think you know when i went in city government i thought about my parents like so many other who is have to navigate city services and resources english first language and help the individuals both navigate, intercept that is on an application approximate signage.

it is fulfilling to mow to help people like my parent and feel like government is there to support them and not to harm them. my parents are happy that i retired early from politics and being a district 4 supervisor i could have continued on for a couple more years approximate decided to leave early. i think that over all they were able to see some of my work appear in the chinese newspaper. through that they were able to see i was able to help communities in a tangible way. >> the member of the board of supervisors. >> transportation authority. for the city and county of san francisco. congratulations. >> i think about one importance when i was worn in as district 4 supervisor. years ago, and someone actually came up to me during the swear nothing ceremony and said, wow, i'm traveling here from canada, and i just i could not believe i

saw an asian female worn in in this role a leadership role this meant so much that someone would say that and felt they were inspired by the scene. so -- i hope that as more people see people that look like them and more women coming in positions of leadership than i feel they can doing the same. person this inpyred me is carmen chu who is our city add administrator but also was district 4 supervisor when i worked with her as a legislative aid. at this point, i too, was skeptical of going in politics. i saw someone who had herself never seen herself in politics. got thrown into it and put her heart and soul and dedication to serve people. and it gave me the confidence to pursue that same job and i

honestly would not have either chosen or accepted or considered serving on the board of supervisors were not for carmen. >> if you want to make your business accessible. >> in my role in city government where i have seen the most challenge is people who don't know you and you are here to serve and help them that they classify you as our city government and here to hurt you. so, people will talk to you and -- and just you know treat you disrespectfully. and sometimes i noticed that they might do more to me as a female compared to my male colleagues. but you know i try to be empathetic. one of the most significant barriers to female empowerment we feel like we have to be 100% meeting all of the qualifications before we think that we are qualified to do a job. if we look at a job description

or an opportunity to come your way well is self doubt about whether you can fulfill the obligations of that role. i think that the confidence is huge and sometimes i think we make up for it by trying to gain more experience. more and more and more in whatever we can put under our belts we'll feel better. that may not be the case. we might be qualified with when we have already accomplished. i started rock climbing indoors a couple years ago as an activity to try to spends time with my husband and also to try something new and i finds that rock climbing there are so many parallels to life. you know when i'm on the wall i'm concentrating and trying to make it to the next piece without falling. there are daying you think i'm

not making progress. you come back and wow, i hit another level. and so i feel like in our daily lives and w we think we are not making enough of i change in the city. and sometimes we have to take out time to reflect every day as long as you try and give it your all and you look back you will have made a significant contribution there is no limit to where you go in terms of rock climbing. i want to reminds myself of that in terms of daily life. >> follow what it is you are interested in, what makes you feel excited about wake up every day. you never know and be open to all the possibilities and opportunity.

problems. how does the define trauma? we had a number of constituents i talked to that their families have youth this have responsiblesed trauma and they said they only served those that identified trauma within the last year. am i understanding? i'm telling what you the experience has been when they come to us and said that -- the definition of trauma is restricted. met people that experience trauma not telling you you know your profession will realize that trauma a few years after the trauma happen exclude may or minot be able to talk about the trauma they experienced. i wanted to give an opportunity to speak about that. i want to make sure when we fund the programs that there is broad and were in terms of defy mission and how they serving youth. i see here that the majority of the clients referred by general

mount zion and sfusd. >> the universe. not the entire universe a good amount. i want to give an opportunity to speak about that. >> i'm sorry to hear about that experience. temperature is in the that narrowly defined. can i peek to the shift we are waiting for the state to release tools related that will expand the definition inform typically the upon event can happen more than a year ago butt simpleoms present and the impact of functioning. it is in the this doyle meet that criteria for a lot of youth we serve that are public low >> hold o. guys i'm sorry. mr. controller i'm having a hard time hearing. >> it is echoing today for some reason. >> there might be programs that focus narrowly on the dsm50

dying noveltyic machineual defined what ptsd is i can't rattle off the lives items. >> this is not. i'm trying to learn and understand. i just heard that and i was surprised because like you described it makes sense are the symptoms present now. >> yes yoch wloot trauma happened >> absolutely t. is alost youth had immigration trauma and stress transitioning to america. >> that's the program program forty. butt kids get connected to treatment with -- a lot of the population they focus are on immigrants and latin apopulations. a lot of the forty youth that and determineed need treatment and like to have treatment get connected to service at the

program >> if they don't fall in the categories not new immigrant where are those children other children served in different program sns >> when was your question. majority of them are newcomer. inform this program testimony is broad they serve dhidz have trauma coming in the er they responsiblesed i gunshot wound or community violence or things at school impacting functioning or social concern its is brud for the out patient program the forty program some newcomer a priefl youth immigrated in the last 5 years. >> i understood that i was talking about the cast that is a broad and i will say with reform this is reforming medical payment medical insurance across the state. there is new access criteria. one is prior or current child

welfare or jewel probation involvement. unhoused and trauma. and the state has yet to define trauma and the trauma tools we're are seeking how the state is defining trauma >> that's why i asked the question. seems like tell be determined by the state. >> the new definition determine from the state in terms of access but trael is not that hard to qualify if you are experiencing symptoms impacting your function associately, educationally, relationally, you qualify for service. there is no time line when the traumatic event took place. >> okay. thank you. >> may be that is a quick question or the question to that, too, white questions of law ifshgz may not be restrictive as understood do you have a wait list? >> well is, yea.

>> probably also why, >> how long is the wait list? i can check in with the program around but they typically you know a lot of our out patient program now are experiencing wait lists given the clients from the workforce shortage. cast this program now is really innovative with what they dom a lot of times they look at the family's waiting to engage in care and develop groups they cluster the families and do groups and open them right away that meets the needs they have they are a program that have done things to increase the access and they have a navigator program to do low threshold work until people connect to the out patient program i have to get back on the wait list time they are experiencing. >> good ton and the staffing

now is according to the budget analyst report, that it it is fully staffed? they did measures to staff to staff up they filled social worker position appoint for child psychiatrist. limitations because itself is a training department on the interns that is up and running they are allowed do in person service now. they and they are w to address during the pandemic a lot of the wait was families had high acuity nay were holding on longer there was no shlomos difficult to engage and created the back logs. wham is the name of the program? immigrant youth.

herey. >> i do appreciate that specific program as like first generation i came here when i was 13 that is the age thatim grant youth ajusting to a new environment not speak the language or learning the english. it is groit have a program like that and i look forward to seeing learning more about it. >> yes. >> that's great and theresa used the program manager i she is online i heard her report is the most successful programs that we had. and that's why they are sustang the fund and increase it to expand typeset to other cultural groups arab youth and a ap i >> a lot of time in the patch with this program like this what happened is they end up being caught in the juvenile probation

system as just learning to culture and here and assimilating to the city. supervisor safai. >> i guess there ends up being i think that is what the slide was about. you showed there is a lot of over lap between youth and those that are transitioning foster care. and then moving to over lap you said unhouse exclude homeless. and at risk being homeless. and african-american youth are over represented in those categories. talking about newark rifle of immigrants speak about specific low african-american youth this fall in the categories that are high need.

>> yes. that's absolutely accurate in terms of our child welfare population and juvenile probation youth and over representation of the black and african-american community. for this contract the child service program, the highest initial demographic youth they service is legalityin apopulation the second is the black and african-american population and if you give me one moment one of the evidence based programs that they are put nothing accomplice they received a grant for the acronym is ciffta. specific low for adolescent, black and lettin a, they are bring aleft cultural programming for black and african-american community. >> thank you.

you know what see this sounds something might be great aligns with me and my values i started to pursue to see what it was like i did and the moment that was pretty interesting how doors kind of opened i put at effort and get any emt licenses and interviewed to be in the refreshed what is of the in the academy engineering that and so on and so forth had that moment of like this is what i'm spoke up to be doing this is this is the it this is me. and it of the great and therefore, be it resolved that worked out and after the lgbtqia+ this is my work with one was

(unintelligible) (sirens) what i thought way back when that being a firefighter that was not something i thought i could do. and i think that a lot to do would not seeing my in the representation of what a normal firefighter will be so i really like to make an effort when i'm at work to have other girls little girdles and boys seeing me though orientation or race or any other orientation we want to be able to be that person and know they can do the job if they want to. >> as a mom i feel like a different person actually. that pretty interesting to have a

stark difference in from the person i became a mom in the fire serve and the person after the fire services being a mom is a learning exercise and the same going back to the fire service you're heart is a little bit more vulnerable i like being a mom the harder thing i've done and prior to being a mom this job or some of the things we do on the job are some of the harder things that kind of levels each other out so i okay. come to work and feel like i'm cable and can go home and capable a whole

i think coffee and food is the very fabric of our community as well as we take care of each other. to have a pop-up in the tenderloin gives it so much meaning. >> we are always creating impactful meaning of the lives of the people, and once we create a space and focus on the most marginalized, you really include a space for everyone. coffee is so cultural for many communities and we have coffee of maria inspired by my grandmother from mexico. i have many many memories of sharing coffee with her late at night. so we carry that into everything we do.

currently we are on a journey that is going to open up the first brick and mortar in san francisco specifically in the tenderloin. we want to stay true to our ancestors in the tenderloin. so we are getting ready for that and getting ready for celebrating our anniversary. >> it has been well supported and well talked about in our community. that's why we are pushing it so much because that's how we started. very active community members. they give back to the community. support trends and give back and give a safe space for all. >> we also want to let folks know that if they want to be in a safe space, we have a pay it forward program that allows 20% to get some funds for someone in

need can come and get a cup of coffee, pastry and feel welcomed in our community. to be among our community, you are always welcome here. you don't have to buy anything or get anything, just be here and express yourself and be your authentic self and we will always take care of you.

i created a website dedicated to the project. a video and fold heart instructions. people sent them in the first mont was 1,000 hearts. they kept coming in. and the next goal was 7, 698, which was the total number of case of reported hate by the ap i website. those were the reported case of hate. there are more not reported. that became the new goal. we achieved 2 months later. the hearts were coming in it it is a big project, we have it part of our store. anyone can come and fold an easy heart. keeping that part of the japanese tradition of this in that way here in japantown is pretty special. its great.

we have a print by uharo that looks at different activities that derisionly performed by men. it's looking at the theme of music. we have three women playing traditional japanese instruments that would otherwise be played by men at that time. we have pairings so that is looking within the context of gender in relationships. also with how people are questioning the whole idea of pairing in the first place. we have three from three different cultures, tibet, china and japan. this is sell vanity stot relevar has been fluid in different time periods in cultures. sometimes being female in china but often male and evoking

features associated with gender binaries and sometimes in between. it's a lovely way of tying all the themes together in this collection. gender and sexuality, speaking from my culture specifically, is something at that hasn't been recently widely discussed. this exhibition shows that it's gender and sexuality are actually have been considered and complicated by dialogue through the work of artists and thinking specifically, a sculpture we have of the hindu deities because it's half pee male and half male. it turns into a different theme in a way and is a beautiful representation of how gender hasn't been seen as one thing or a binary. we see that it isn't a modest

concept. in a way, i feel we have a lot of historical references and touch points throughout all the ages and in asian cultures. i believe san francisco has close to 40% asian. it's a huge representation here in the bay area. it's important that we awk abouk about this and open up the discussion around gender. what we've learned from organizing this exhibition at the museum is that gender has been something that has come up in all of these cultures through all the time periods as something that is important and relevant. especially here in the san francisco bay area we feel that it's relevant to the conversations that people are having today. we hope that people can carry that outside of the museum into their daily lives.
