information directly with the staff reviewing and you wanting information. i think we are on the right path. not only having clarify today to residents and now the press naneeds to happen. we have been short staffed since. we did unfortunately, we lost one of our employees and we had to hire a temp. we are doing train with that person. appointments may take a bit longer than desired but working through it. and i did want to mention, we translate the letter as well so and will it was made available to the whole community. >> great. thank you very much. if i might add might be helpful even though this is not the intent of the meetings and we are having men in different places. might be helpful for housing authority to help compliment the clarification of the questions

coming up. as limp in these and future meetings relates to housing authority related over site item this is pertain to property management questions. and in the event that john stewart will not be present. i don't know how to reconcile that now. making sure well is machine upon who can dissolve the issues. as they are coming up and given that it is -- within our purview we need to figure out how to best mechanic that manage that that management flow is taking place with property management. across the board and we can answer the questions quickly. because it would have been wonderful to have this level of clarity provided in the meeting left night around this issue. by john staurt. i don't believe that was able to be communicated as it was now. thank you very much for this today. >> yea.

no problem. are there other questions for me? has there been additional00 automatic i'm somewhat confusing to the meeting the questions in relationship to resident questions that did not pertain to the rad blend application but came up during that application meeting. and with regards to community members desires with regards to month to month. moving into year long lease in writing that would provide them with a sense of security. and belief in that security. that you mentioned would be philidelphia up on. was there further move there? >> yes. that was address in the our letter as well. we explaind that the lease remains in affect after the expiration of the initial term.

and that they can execute a full year lease when they do recertification. we did address that as well. when they address the recertification, is this going to change the when they get that resolved or in conversations that john stewart had with residents they're satisfied by knowing in wroiting the month to month provides all protections the year lease but if they want they can go through that process based on the time line out lined? >> i believe that they ever satisfied based on feedback and not receiveda well. i will mention that the one thing i think was most critical to absolving occurrence stating in the letter that no residents is in bad standing.

they were concerned not having a new lease agreement that protects them in the future, or by not -- having their balance resolved that would money they were in poor standing. and so by clarifying their standing, that's what resolved most concerns. >> thank you very much for being so fast to responded. and unfortunate we had to have the concerns for residents and confusion, it was helpful. and appreciated the follow through. that has been exhibited since this meeting. thank you very much. >> no problem. commissioners additional questions? all right. i than we wanted since weer the flow now acknowledge commissioner pike, thank you we

. credit a diverse community integrate exclude connected to the broader city and ensure the plaza east never suffers from maintenance funds. max miegz the amount of housing built on site to help address housing crisis. development commitments. most there are the commitment this is we have made to the residents. these will apply no matter what the new plaza east looks like. one, for one replacement of 193 existing units at plaza east. existing tenants guaranteed a new unit at the rebltd build that is sized for the household. tenants pay 30% of income as rent the development will be phased in a way to min myself short term displacement and all will have an absolute right to

return. all right. based on years of engagement, we have put together a proposal project this will take will -- think will achieve the priorities we heard from the residents. we submit third degree project to the planning department. in a project assessment the pta last year. the application requires that we describe what the new plaza east will look like. we'll include this project on the rad blend application. next, this project is in the finalized. it is in the set. it has in the been approved by the city or san francisco housing authority. the prior is remrigs the existing public housing unitos site a prosecute portion market rate this is designated to jen

rit machine they'll accelerate the time line for delivering replace am housing for existing plaza east families. so you see heater project will include 755 units. one for one replacement of the public housing 193. 292 new affordable units 64% affordable. 270 market rate at 36% market rate. the mixed income project. the site plan shows how the building will be aushg raged blue are affordable and mix of public housing replace am and new tax credit affordable. these are mid rise buildings fwn five to 8 stories. build nothing red is market rate with 270 market rate units and 30 opinion husbanding replace am. this building is taller around 23 stories.

this has been done for a few reasons allows the build to takeum less spachls more pits for affordable house and open space. it more efficient low generate money used to help pay for the replacement of the public housing and the new affordable housing. 30 replace am units in the building plaza resident this is want to live there will have an opportunity. we have heard many plaza residents say they will not want to live in this taller building that is fine. no oneville to live in a building to live in this building. we heard the old high rise plaza east are known oc was not safe and had a let of crime. i can assure you these mid rise buildings the one high rise be safe elevators high quality and

modern will feel like the not like the old plaza east. we had tours in the mission for the residents left year and they were prized with the quality and amenities including in new affordable housing projects. the phasing plan is important part. it allow you to provide replace am housing for all existing plaza east residents in the first phase. minimizing the time this they have it wit for mule housing. this does allow flexibility to be creative in a way we deliver the new net new market -- net new affordable house and explore partnering with local developer, homeownership opportunity social

housing. our priorities is providing replace am housing for existing plaza east residents as soon as possible that's what the plan would market rate helps us do. here is the illustration of the phasing exit will turn it over to ted condition read if the office of economic and workforce development. thank you. i'm with office of economic workforce development. i'm here to speak about the city approval process we have and how the blends application fit in thes process. i think the most important thing like to leave with you what is in red in the screen. the read blend application

submission does not look us in the project. the application begins the press of securing subsidies essential to rebuilding plaza east. we have to describe a full project. we describe the 64% mixed income this channing described. the city approval process is in front of us. would be required to approve had process. nothing has been approved or set? stone we'll be engaging the residents and community and yourself as we continue to advance the project. next slide. the graphic in front is describing the approval process for a multiphase project. each arrow and box represents a work stream. and many are happening

concurrently. the top we got resident and community engagement the begin and this started years ago through conversations that development team and city and authority staff having with plaza residents to ask them what their priors are on site. what the issues are, how we address and when they want it to electric like. as we continue down that road. through the development committee, and build consensus when the new plaza east will look like that will look to a formal planning application to the planning department. upon the project proposal was submitted in ppa. last year not a formal application. it is a less formal process aloug staff to begin to look at the process and what types of approvals will be required. however once a formal

application go in tell kick the environmental review process. in this case ceqa the california environmental will equality act is a state law requires staffed impacts from governments and make decision of this time for this size we do environmental impact report. it takes 2 years.

opportunity and and important things the number and affordable of net new units added in addition to the replace am public housing. so, that will wrap up when the environmental impact report the final impact report is certified boy planning 2 years after an application and would go to a number of other city policy bodies for approval. board of supervisors, major's office and then of course, any approval come become to housing commission. apologies going in the weeds the pin is we have a robust and lengthy approval process in front of us throughout that process we'll continuing to enengage with the residentses and the mount to make sure we are advance being interests as we veterans this project.

for now we think the submission of the application is an important step toward securing a center peefts financing for reblgdz the existing public housing. that concludes the presentation and we are available for questions. thank you. >> great. thank you. commissioners do you have questions with regards to this item? including comments or over vow that took place during the committee meeting when this was heard. i have a couple questions i then and there has been asked. multiple times. but and answered as well i continue on want to. understands it better. so, we need to mitt an application in order it get this going. i understand this i understand an application you have to have

framework in place. and yet it is in the set in stone. if you could talk through what is set? stone, i'm sure there are thing this is have to occur special manuscript this has to occur in application for it to be aproufred. talk through. i have 2 that is one the other so you can and the other is -- the slide that talked about city approval process. are there other place for other stake holders to approve haugh that slide just about the city approval process. is there another this will talk about had approved what, when? if you could talk about those 2 pointeds. >> sure. thank you. so there needs to be a nothing is set in stone and nothing is set in stone legally until the projects are, proved by the various policy bodies than i go to.

there will is a process of us moving from a proposal like now. through to that. and important mile stone would submission of an mrvenlgz after it is submitted nothing is set in stone. but from a project misdemeanoring stand point we want to look down key parameters at this point. that is what allows us to begin the environmental review process. it is things around unit countful density. building massing. building arrangement that impacts the technical environmental stsd. shadow. traffic and et cetera. we don't want to if you make changes to the parameters the stsd redone and sets us back in time and money. you know i would not say at this point set in stone we want to avoid changes at this point in the service of providing replacement housing as soon as

possible. the process we are going through is building a consensus arnold a framework proposal that would allow us to set some of those parameters. so we can move in the environmental review and refinement press and other things can and do stay you know in play really up until short low before they come for approval. details of community benefit programs. programming of open spaces thez things could don't need to be decide soon. that is the answer to the first question the second, would you repoe it? >> the second the slide is up. so this slide is talking about the city approval process. is this slide meant to limited to combha is the city approve? or and so is there a different slide that talks about the development the project approval process or is this also the

project approval process helpful to know who makes which decisions when. i think it is helpful. thank you. this is meant to describe the approval proechlsz process the housing authoritiville your own approvals and other staff could speak to the legal processes. what you are asking is like the interim decisionmaking what we get to the advance the project to the points. and i think you know there are not formal legal approvals until then. the express a team trans parent and in constant xhoungz with residents and making decisions based on when they hear the residentsment and need and how to meet those. and as things are firmed up.

and project program terse they are firmed up being trans parent and moving of i will say on projects like this. opinions are never unanimous. there are also pregnancy how we should move forward. and you know it is ourion as staff work with the team to make sure we are trying to best to build facility consensus and acting on them. >> thank you. i think that there is a lot of work being done i think to collect information to get feedback it is helpful for people hop provide feed become to know it was heard and what is translated to. baz know there is a lot of work done. sometime its is helpful. communicate that piece out. >> commissioner kim.

service. for the actual work is 2.5 million. and the loan was a base loan. and has to the cost and submit the reimbursement from ocd and 30-days from draw to getting the funding. of that they had 50,000 line of credit for the market line. to keep going. the line of credit was too small for the scope of work. and this -- had the impact on the condition of the unit. next. as a citizen new proposing providing 10 sick,000 resolving fund for the plaza east to plaza east associate. this will allow to provide up front payment to market line.

and this loan they will do continue the scope of work and remaining 33 units time low. and the condition transactor paid weekly with a loan. and then pending the draw and the draw -- the fund will be finished. and twhm new lone millionaire be completed at the end of the month and going tooshgllow the completed on the timely basis. to date, the contractor able to do [inaudible] a moth and the completion was projected to be december 203. with this loan they will be able to do more unit weekly.

so, now 4-6 a week that will allow us to complete it earlier two months early by october of 23. one thing to note is oust unit completed so far, there was -- 152 completed those were the 1 this is had less scope of work. the 33 remaining have a much higher scope in terms of repair needed. that is 333 repair remaining. any question? great. thank you. any questions from commissioners?

3 question mark on the final slide hoping for 3 questions. >> okay. i will ask my one. might be multifaceted. thank you for this. i do appreciate coming from a family of small business ordinance the commitment to helping support. i continue southboundeds like an area is funding. it is doyle get had fund to do this project. are there any other issues that you see or you heard about beyond funding that would create concerns about successful completion of the project? >> so, funding was the major that was indicated to the -- the size of the contractor they needed they will keep going while it was processed. i think one challenge would be accessing the units from the

scope there was 22 unit where the this was able to access to scoping of the unit. that also and [inaudible] ashgs sisz at gipping was a huge issue. as residents understood the necessity of us get negligent units and working with them giving them will multiple out roach with our service on site services have helped tremendous low with that gaining market access. so where we did see may be some denials now we are work width resident schedule coming on the weekends who i they have to work during the week. am has been flexible with

scheduling the times. and this is marcus. >> as far as the issues i don't see other, outside fungdz. as far as getting access i have a good rep with everybody they work with me what i noticed late low opposed when i first started. >> what was the resistance in the beginning and what changed? i think i'm familiar face now. so -- yea. >> and also looks like the community and so there is that trust there. that you know he has that builted that relationship and they done the work and built that trust with them. now he is familiar and also reflect some of what the residence denials look like that helps.

we can do full functional xerdzs and -- another thing that guess with lack of hiring is the over all age and experience of our workforce. it is -- driven down over the years an average experience or time and service for firefighters is in the 5-7 year range this ch is low but with the quality of training you provide with your mou, obviously. that level brings them up to high levels. >> thank you very much. commission. we have a crafted an agreement that it is a tempt 38 can be used in the future this has been talked about in the past but meeting demolition schedule has

consideration. of the information and your continued support are there questions for me. any questions? thank you. for this information and the presentation. so, on the slide about the slide 15 that talks about the metrics i want to confirm these other only that are required? per your rfp? >> yes. >> okay. >> there are no other this is need to be tracked? >> linda? there are a number of other metrics are electroniced the scorecard is longer than the 5 the 5 are height lighted areas those cover every area of operations the scope is about 2-1/2 to 3 pages. of items this are tracked.

and -- tell also -- um you continue to report on continued compliance demonstrating the compliance and also um -- provide additional information about the continued compliance in each these to ensure it remains there. >> and i know they vary from metrics to metrics the point is my question is to ensure that there are early signs if we are going in a noncompliance area rather than waiting for something to go in noncompliance are we on electronic? is there a trends this is occur thanksgiving should be monitored helpful to see that. that information. >> and then i think -- as you

provide on slide 18 in the work orders it looks like these are performed, do you have on here how many were received. 551 -- is actual is received and performs. the gray is for potrero. i know it is heard when you on the slide and you don't know what i will ask you i don't

expect you know everything on the spot if you know great. if you don't it is all about improvement and moving forward and sort of getting there in june in sunnydale you received 551 work orders and completed them all? there are none that were not complete in the june? >> correct. >> you don't have any that carry over you always complete them in the same month >> with the exceptions of if it was manage this we can -- foresee the work if we need licensing from the contractors if we could not get in the units the majorities of the work orders we have been able to get in them and corrected. and will in july you had 1, 212 and they were all completed on the off chance they are not, i

mean it would be helpful to see if there are any this carry over or to state they were not any they were all completed the mack data comfleegz is 51 days are than i workdays or? business calendar day. >> calendar. >> so this does show max day has to have a carry over? right? yes. >> if we the point is to have an understanding what is aville um. how long people areerating. what are they waiting for and as you start going through them. do some of them continue it wit a language time others get done faster. or is it that those are longer get done sooner i know this well is in the an easy answer about how that happens. i appreciate the report and the reporting out of this.

if we have more detail to understand that for each of the metrics would be helpful. why and left on slide 19. it is thol seat schedule of service. and -- it would -- companion report would also be helpful to seat impact of the work you are doing. so the effort is important and it is necessary. i think this what that come out what results from it the impact that all of the schedules impact would be helpful to present, too. >> okay. >> thank you. >> thank you. a quick question. you have issues with the dumping the hazardous materials. why we have not seen that but of course within this scope there is a television and computers all of those are hazardous for

the community itself. but i have in the seen any big hazzardos things we can report on. >> thank you. >> any additional questions? >> thank you. why thank you very much. next is item 7d a chief executive officer. presented by tonya lediju. >> upon lediju, thank you to you and your team. and partners for what you produced for the back pack give, way upon event at 1850 eggbert. it was wonderful to see families take part and benefit from that

event. that was life low. thank you. thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners. general community i loigz to provide updates. as the agency moves forward after the transegz of the housing programs to third party condition tractors, it is vital that this includes a focus on improving the authority's prescriptional efficiencies as an over site agency to achieve theit is important that the authority engages with the board around work to gain efficiency regarding losing, audit, monitoring. contracts work and property management. and maintenance. part of the w is considering and improving upon applicant intake. procedures to decrease the time with an applicant receiving a housing voucher and moving in a unit. by working with partners at cv r

stele intent of 'll indicating it. do we have an executive summary where the allocation the surplus could land? so -- was in our let'sing plan. i want to go become to the comment around -- again. it the work there and the surplus reflects extraordinary work. that allows for a surplus to be displayed on books that is a turn around from where we were before right before you came on. as our leader. of the housing are third degree. we have not yes produced something public low that can be

served, fripd and digested about how significant and contrast that moment is and when it allows us to realize. i want the housing authority on get the credit realizing the improve am this did not happen out of nowhere >> this is my commissioner comments. we have a public do you mean to peek to the partners that has done. that where there has been as our general council. and alaine in our office.

again without all of them on this team we cannot realize the surplus we have. and you know i want to say a couple months ago we put 50 new project vouchers in city gardens build thanksgiving is 2 million dollars a year? >> 20 years, yes. >> 30 million for 20. >> 30 million for the 20 them does in the include the 3% escalation. you know left wherever we did 200 project vouchers in existing buildings this year i think what is it? 400 to building and 200rfp. for reporters listening the head line then at in 2018 was san francisco housing authority

is broke. and 30 million dollars in the hole. in 2018 over seeing housing for 20,000 residents is 30 million dollars in the red. the agency's bookkeeping reported the cause is alleged 3 so inept this city hall will take over sfha directly. that does in the seem to be displayed based on the reports we see when you have a 35.2 million dollars surplus. i want to be sure that store seone this reporters also take in consideration. . when talking about the promise of the housing authority. prosecute voiding the counter point of where we were and where we are today. because of your work. no small feat another the press

talking about this positive work i know you will realize. so. thank you. thank you. >> all right. thank you, you need to open for public comment on the ceo reports for item 7. public comment? we can clez public comment we have one additional item here 8 for the committee report. commissioner lindo. report on left week's meeting on august 16th. >> yes. committee of 2 met last week at 2 o'clock. and we had 2 items we brought to the full commission. one was the issue with the fire department. the signing a dollar lease? the firefighter is going to use the -- buildings at sunnydale on

do training. >> right. and i remember us talking about it and no hazardous materials. >> correct. >> no fires. >> exactly. and hands's on. >> training. and the other was the rad blend action item that was approved. hope they can go through. and hopefully if it doesn't there say plan a. the plan a and b is on the record. we need them to approve it. >> make a trip? >> we need hud to approve and we are expecting this approval because our residents deserve to have a new development. sdwloo s. what we'll be purke hard toward. ir happening this this agency

has made a lot of great progress. to -- ensure that consideration occurs. thank you. >> public comment. any public comment on item 8 the committee report? we can close comment. and we can. item 11 the additional comments? additional commissioner comments? move to adjourn. >> clear clear the time is 6:41, thank you, everyone.

>> i don't think you need to be an expert to look around and see the increasing frequency of fires throughout california. they are continuing at an ever-increasing rate every summer, and as we all know, the drought continues and huge shortages of water right now. i don't think you have to be an expert to see the impact. when people create greenhouse gases, we are doing so by different activities like burning fossil fuels and letting off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we also do this with food waste. when we waste solid food and leave it in the landfill, it puts methane gas into the atmosphere and that accelerates the rate at which we are warming our planet and makes all the effects of climate change worse. the good news is there are a lot of things that you can be doing, particularly composting and the added benefit is when the

compost is actually applied to the soil, it has the ability to reverse climate change by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios. and there is huge amount of science that is breaking right now around that. >> in the early 90s, san francisco hired some engineers to analyze the material san francisco was sending to landfill. they did a waste characterization study, and that showed that most of the material san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. it was things like food scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started this curbside composting program and we were the first city in the country to collect food scraps separately from other trash and turn them into compost. it turns out it was one of the

best things we ever did. it kept 2.5 million tons of material out of the landfill, produced a beautiful nutrient rich compost that has gone on to hundreds of farms, orchards and vineyards. so in that way you can manage your food scraps and produce far less methane. that is part of the solution. that gives people hope that we're doing something to slow down climate change. >> i have been into organic farming my whole life. when we started planting trees, it was natural to have compost from re-ecology. compost is how i work and the soil biology or the microbes feed the plant and our job as regenerative farmers is to feed the microbes with compost and they will feed the plant. it is very much like in business where you say take care of your employees and your employees

will take carolinas of your customers. the same thing. take care of the soil microbes and soil life and that will feed and take care of the plants. >> they love compost because it is a nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for the soil. that is photosynthesis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. and the roots exude carbon into the soil. you are helping turn a farm into a carbon sink. it is an international model. delegations from 135 countries have come to study this program. and it actually helped inspire a new law in california, senate bill 1383. which requires cities in california to reduce the amount of compostable materials they send to landfills by 75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is a nation-leading policy. >> because we have such an immature relationship with

nature and the natural cycles and the carbon cycles, government does have to step in and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean, foryes, sir, and so forth. -- forest, and so fors. we know that our largest corporations are a significant percentage of carbon emission, and that the corporate community has significant role to play in reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they disclose anything about the carbon footprint, the core operation and sp360 stands for the basic notion that large corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and very common sense but is controversial. any time you are proposing a policy that is going to make real change and that will change behavior because we know that when corporations have to disclose and be transparent and

have that kind of accountability, there is going to be opposition. >> we have to provide technical assistance to comply with the state legislation sb1383 which requires them to have a food donation program. we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program for the city. but also that we have partners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy for teachers to teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that when they are really young in

pre-k, they are just learning about the awe and wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years of drought. dry periods. that is really hard on farms and is really challenging. compost helps farms get through these difficult times. how is that? compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains water. and so when we put compost around the roots of plants, it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. it helps farms make that corner and that helps them grow for food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farm naturally with compost. farms and cities in california are very hip now to this fact

that creating compost, providing compost to farms helps communities survive and get through those dry periods. >> here is the thing. soil health, climate health, human health, one conversation. if we grow our food differently, we can capture all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and store it in unlimited quantities in the soil, that will create nutrient dense foods that will take care of most of our civilized diseases. so it's one conversation. people have to understand that they are nature. they can't separate. we started prowling the high plains in the 1870s and by the 1930s, 60 year, we turned it into a dust bowl. that is what ignorance looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. nature bats last. so people have to wake up. wake up. compost. >> it is really easy to get frustrated because we have this

belief that you have to be completely sustainable 24/7 in all aspects of your life. it is not about being perfect. it is about making a change here, a change there in your life. maybe saying, you know what? i don't have to drive to that particular place today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going to walk. it is about having us is stainable in mind. that is -- it is about having sustainability in mind. that is how we move the dial. you don't have to be perfect all the time. >> san francisco has been and will continue to be one of the greener cities because there are communities who care about protecting a special ecosystem and habitat. thinking about the history of the ohlone and the native and indigenous people who are stewards of this land from that history to now with the ambitious climate action plan we just passed and the goals we have, i think we have a dedicated group of people who see the importance of this place. and who put effort into building

an infrastructure that actually makes it possible. >> we have a long history starting with the gold rush and the anti-war activism and that is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s and 70s. and of course, earth day in 1970 which is huge. and i feel very privileged to work for the city because we are on such a forefront of environmental issues, and we get calls from all over the world really to get information. how do cities create waste programs like they do in san francisco. we are looking into the few which you are and we want innovation. we want solutions.

>> after my fire in my apartment and losing everything, the red cross gave us a list of agencies in the city to reach out to and i signed up for the below-market rate program. i got my certificate and started applying and won the housing lottery. [♪♪♪] >> the current lottery program began in 2016. but there have been lot rows that have happened for affordable housing in the city for much longer than that. it was -- there was no standard practice. for non-profit organizations that were providing affordable housing with low in the city,

they all did their lotteries on their own. private developers that include in their buildings affordable units, those are the city we've been monitoring for some time since 1992. we did it with something like this. where people were given circus tickets. we game into 291st century in 2016 and started doing electronic lotteries. at the same time, we started electronic applications systems. called dalia. the lottery is completely free. you can apply two ways. you can submit a paper application, which you can download from the listing itself. if you apply online, it will take five minutes. you can make it easier creating an account. to get to dalia, you log on to

housing.sfgov.org. >> i have lived in san francisco for almost 42 years. i was born here in the hayes valley. >> i applied for the san francisco affordable housing lottery three times. >> since 2016, we've had about 265 electronic lotteries and almost 2,000 people have got their home through the lottery system. if you go into the listing, you can actually just press lottery results and you put in your lottery number and it will tell you exactly how you ranked. >> for some people, signing up for it was going to be a challenge. there is a digital divide here and especially when you are trying to help low and very low income people. so we began providing digital assistance for folks to go in and get help.

>> along with the income and the residency requirements, we also required someone who is trying to buy the home to be a first time home buyer and there's also an educational component that consists of an orientation that they need to attend, a first-time home buyer workshop and a one-on-one counseling session with the housing councilor. >> sometimes we have to go through 10 applicants before they shouldn't be discouraged if they have a low lottery number. they still might get a value for an available, affordable housing unit. >> we have a variety of lottery programs. the four that you will most often see are what we call c.o.p., the certificate of preference program, the dthp which is the displaced penance housing preference program.

the neighborhood resident housing program and the live worth preference. >> i moved in my new home february 25th and 2019. the neighborhood preference program really helped me achieve that goal and that dream was with eventually wind up staying in san francisco. >> the next steps, after finding out how well you did in the lottery and especially if you ranked really well you will be contacted by the leasing agent. you have to submit those document and income and asset qualify and you have to pass the credit and rental screening and the background and when you qualify for the unit, you can chose the unit and hopefully sign that lease. all city sponsored affordable housing comes through the system and has an electronic lottery. every week there's a listing on

dalia. something that people can apply for. >> it's a bit hard to predict how long it will take for someone to be able to move into a unit. let's say the lottery has happened. several factors go into that and mainly how many units are in the project, right. and how well you ranked and what preference bucket you were in. >> this particular building was brand new and really this is the one that i wanted out of everything i applied for. in my mind, i was like how am i going to win this? i did and when you get that notice that you won, it's like at first, it's surreal and you don't believe it and it sinks in, yeah, it happened. >> some of our buildings are pretty spectacular. they have key less entry now. they have a court yard where they play movies during the weekends, they have another master kitchen and space where people can throw parties.

>> mayor breed has a plan for over 10,000 new units between now and 2025. we will start construction on about 2,000 new units just in 2020. >> we also have a very big portfolio like over 25,000 units across the city. and life happens to people. people move. so we have a very large number of rerentals and resales of units every year. >> best thing about working for the affordable housing program is that we know that we're making a difference and we actually see that difference on a day-to-day basis. >> being back in the neighborhood i grew up in, it's a wonderful experience. >> it's a long process to get through. well worth it when you get to the other side. i could not be happier.

[♪♪♪] >> i am supervisor melgar. i am the supervisor for district 7. [music] i am a immigrant to san francisco. my family came when i was 12 from el salvador during the civil war. this place gave us security, safety and an opportunity to thrive, so i love the city deeply, and as a mother of three kids who have grown up as city kids, i'm grateful for everything the city has to offer for people like me and families. i have been politically involved my

whole life, either in government or a non profit worker and i care about the community. i care about people around me, and i want to make sure that as the world changes around us, other people have the opportunity that my family did. >> we are back in san francisco post pandemic. so important to be out supporting our businesses, supporting our neighbors. >> i'm the first woman to represent the district, believe it or not. i'm the first latina elected to the board of supervisors without an appointment first ever, so i do think that (indiscernible) i want immigrants to be represented, women, moms, people that have different experiences because that brings richment to our decision making and i think it makes for betting decisions so that inspired me to run. district 7 is one of the most

diverse districts in san francisco both in economics and ethnicity. it spans north from golden gate park. it includes all the institutions in the park, the wheel. the music concourse, mew seem to the south to the daly city boarder and west to the organization. includes the zoo (indiscernible) all those fun things and to 280 oen the east. includes city college, san francisco state. i had ucsf parnassus so very large geographically. it is mostly single family homes, so it is the place where for generations family (indiscernible) nice parks, lake merced, mount davidson. >> this is like a village within the city, so we are very close nit community. we tend to band together and try to support one another

and it is a friendly place and families and people to have a cup of coffee and check out the park. >> ocean avenue, which is the southern end of our district is vibrant commercial corridor that mostly cater tuesday the local neighborhoods and the students. as you go further west you have the mall which has some of the best pan asian food offerings in the city. if you haven't been there, it is really fun. as you go up a little bit further, there is west portal avenue, which is a very old school commercial district where you can still find antique shops and cobbler shops and as well as like more modern restaurants. it is definitely hopping and full of families on any weekday. >> i'm matt roger, the coowner or (indiscernible) >> carl, other coowner in west

portal. >> we are a neighborhood hardware store. been a community institution since it was founded in 1936. we had a little bit of everything. (indiscernible) to gardening or gift buying. >> my entire experience in san francisco is this community. it is a very small town feel for a big city. the community is caring and connected. >> what makes me excited doing business in district 7 is i know it sell well. i grew up here. i knew a lot of customers, parents of friends. it is very comfortable place and feels like home. >> if you go up north, you have the innerpz sunset commercial corridor which has a awesome farmers market on weekdays and plethora of restaurants. there is everything you need. >> friendly and safe and

(indiscernible) i love they bring their kids with them. they teach them how to use their money, and it is something you dont see in too many markets in other communities. i love to see the kids come and talking to you. it is something different then i see from (indiscernible) >> the ev access to transit in inner sunset and ability to do a lot of shopping on foot, and now the improved biking with jfk closed to cars, because we have a 4 and a half year old who rides her bike. we now have a safe place to go and ride bike jz don't have to to worry about traffic. >> graffiti continues to be one of these things that during the pandemic just got out of control everywhere in the city and i do think that it is hampering our recovery of commercial corridors, so some of the volunteers on

west portal avenue, some of the merchants got together with interns at our office to do some hands on abatement and we have been doing it regularly. we are doing it once a week and we have a wonderful neighbor, carrie organizing and storing the paint and supplies in her office on west portal, but this needs more then just a volunteer efforts. >> i'm grateful for the collaboration. we passed legislation at the board and put $4 million in the budget over the next 24 months to help the department of public works hire laborers and labor apprentices to abate the graffiti on private property on commercial corridors. i think that for a couple years this recovery strategy so we can get back up as normal after this awful pandemic. participatory budgeting is a pot of money that is available

every year for district 7 neighbors to propose projects that improve the neighborhood and the district. anyone, any organization in the district can propose a project and then it's a vote. it is popular vote. we have 14 projects just approved and they span from you know, a vegetable garden at aptos middle school to pedestrian safety projects on (indiscernible) it runs the gamut, but it is wonderful because it allows people to be engaged in a real way, and then to see the outcome of their energy and work, because the things get improved in front of them. >> i like it is really close to the parecollect parks and bunch of businesses as well as a calm feel. it is a very

peaceful feel even though it is close to a lot of things. (indiscernible) also not boring. there is stuff to do too. >> so, there is lots to see and experience in district 7. [music]
