well, well, well. thank you for all being here. i'm annette garcia. i'm the communications managers at mission housing and today's master of ceremony. it's my pleasure to welcome you to the ribbon cutting ceremony. this was a great undertaking and the completion symbolizes the dawn of the rehabilitation of homes for many people. [ applause ] as we gather here today we'll celebrate the positivism pact of the many lives here. admittedly mission housing couldn't have achieved this on our own. it took a team and all of our wonderful partners. some who will speak shortly. some are dedicated funders, architects, and communed leaders that work to make this project a reality.

we thank you. to our amazing mission housing team. your commitment and devotion to making our community a better place and working ever so tirelessly. most importantly, for having trust and patients in our team. we appreciate you and we look forward to building a vibrant community here at noey street. so thank you. [ applause ] >> without farther ado. i'd like to invite our first guest speaker mission housing executive director mr. sam moss. [ applause ] >> thank you, everyone. i will keep this short and sweet. there we go. i'd just like to thank

everyone for coming out today. this development 363noey is part of the portfolio of public housing sites that mission public housing, san francisco housing authority, western alliance bank, and every other person you could think of were required to get us to where we are today. i'm very proud to be mission housing's executive director. i'm proud to stand up here and give speeches like this. it's everyone here that it took to get us where we are. i think about that to get to the long-term occupied rehab projects and how hard they are. it's really easy to widthle them down to what it cost per unit. what was construction costs. was that the number we could write about or not. we get bogged down and forget

why we do what we do. it's for our tenants current and future. it's for our neighbors. because we all here believe that housing is a human right and being a human right means you do what you need to do to get it done. to make whatever compromises is needed. decades and decades later after the original building was built and rebuilt. i for one amex am extremely proud to stand up here today. i'm glad you took time-out of your day. there will be food later. it's important to celebrate when you can. it's important to stop and smell the roses. this is what that looks like. from me and the mission housing board of directors and entire staff. we'd like to say thank you and how proud we are and god bless. thank you. [ applause ]

>> thank you sam. our next guest is california senator. [ applause ] >> thank you. you can call me scott. so, this project is very meaningful to me personally. first, i live two blocks from here. i have been here 26 years and proud of the affordable housing that we have in the neighborhood. we'd like to protect it and preserve it. the neighbors that live on

noey street are living in topnotch housing and we want more of it. as we create affordable housing and work hard at the stately level and locally to provide refund and speeding it up to make sure we create more affordable homes. we need to make sure the affordable homes we have we are taking care of them and not falling into disrepair and people are able to live in the housing they deserve. that's what this is about. when on the board of supervisors i had a lot of interaction with 363 noey. there were really problems here. the property fell into

disrepair it wasn't right for people to live in those conditions. i was excited to learn mission housing would be taking over the management of 363noe. it's an amazing renovation and great for so many residents around the city. i'm thrilled the rehab has happened. the management has improved and this project can be all it needs to be for the recognize resident. this program has been fantastic overall. we had so many problems with public housing in san francisco. thousands of san franciscos living in public housing in very bad conditions. under the leadership, we are seeing that transform. we are trying to do away with the distinction between the

afford housing and ol old school public housing. it's all the same. this is a big step forward. thank you mission housing and thank you to everyone that made this happen. [ applause ] >> thank you so much senator. i'd like to invite our next guest linda mason and chief officer of the housing authority. [ applause ] >> hey, everyone. i just wanted to say our ceo tonya couldn't be here today. she sends her regards and congratulations to the grand opening today. i'd like to thank our residents. i have been here for quiet sometime and we would come here every year and we would have a meeting to hear concerns about the building and we would lead this to the

executive director and figure out if we would have the funding that year to make repairs necessary. most years, we couldn't make all of the repairs and we couldn't meet the needs of the residents. i'd like to thank the residents on behalf of the housing authority all of the time to living in the housing they deserve to have. without this project and this conversion the funding would be have been available to allow them to live in these conditions. secondly, i'd like to make sure i take a moment to thank our partners. this wouldn't be happening without the department of housing development, including lydia that hosted the events along with helen who lead our services efforts as well and continued to do so for all of our conversions working closely with the housing authority. i wanted to take a moment to thank our lenders mayor lee

and mission housing who we are, at this point handing off the huge responsibility of taking care of residents. lastly and most importantly we would like to welcome mission housing to the portfolio family with the closing of today's 363 noe project. we have completed five of the projects. it's actually the first set of properties mission housing will be managing after the convergence. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you so much, linda, that was amazing. i'd like to invite next monica of modern alliance.

>> i'm here representing western alliance bank and california bridge bank. we are the lender and credit equity investors. this was a phenomenal project to be apart of. i remember when i first got the call about the challenging project, multiple sites in san francisco. high cost. not to be worried. there were a lot of great partners involved and the project would be a success. i said, sign me up. so, our typical project would be a single site and new construction where this was five separate sites and rehab. complicated project but happy we could come in and take the time to understand the project and the benefits to the community here and be apart of the partnership with everyone at the state and local level here that have been involved.

we are happy to be here. [ applause ] >> thank you so much, monica. that was beautiful. i'd like to invite next mission housing deputy executive director marcia. >> well, i'm not going to repeat what everybody said and everybody has shared. what i'd like to focus on acknowledging every single resident that lives in this location. relocation is never easy. i always tell our team at mission housing to put yourself in our residents shoes and think about what that looks like and feels like. i know, a partner of ours,

helen knows that. she constantly reminds us what that is. i want to acknowledge, first and foremost, the community at 363 noe. to my right randall. he walked the property when we took it over. we weren't necessarily the owners of the property. it was a tricky situation. we had to walk the property and understand the needs of the problemty. randell showed us the way and introduced us to the residents and you should the building and we understood what we were getting into and how to best support the community here at 363. i'm not sure how many residents we have here but can we please give them a round of applause. it took patients and the most important component was trusting mission housing and

an organize walking in without them knowing a lot of history about us but trusting the fact that we can come in here and make significant changes to the community. i'm appreciative of that. the second thing today, i know sam talked about our staff. i'd like to talk a bit about every single team member that represents mission housing and this wasn't an easy thing. this was during the core of the pandemic. you see a few more gray hairs in my head this is what it took to get this done. if i can have the residence and housing department of mission housing and every single staff member of the mission housing team, raise your hand so we can acknowledge you. we couldn't have done it without your support, dedication, and also just being there to support the entire team. lastly, what i'd like to say is acknowledge our board of

director. we have a few here. i'd like to invite previous and current board of directors joining us today. can you please raise your hand. irvine severed on the board. thank you for trusting on the management team. we are here to celebrate along with you. with your leadership and support we are able to do that. the last thing i'd like to say to ever partner that supported our effort, i'm grateful. our construction team. our gcs. they work very hard. i see a few of them here, correct, maybe? yes. i'd like to honor them. you probably received a ton of e-mails from us and you kept that dialog under really difficult times. i'd like to thank the housing authority. team members as well. i'd like to honor them.

this wasn't an easy process and they were patient to work with us. also our architects. thank you for taking the feedback we were bringing back from our residents to you and you kept making changes. i'd like to thank all of you for that. at this time, i'm going to go ahead and introduce a person, like i said earlier that opened his doors here at 363 , noe. ran dell randell support. he continues to support us. he's also the president of the tenant association. come up and share your thoughts. >> welcome, to everyone. the one part i got to see that

was missed was the neighbors. i invited them. thank you neighbors. thank you neighbors for the constitution. it's over. yes, the relocation was tough. working with housing authority was tough at the beginning. thank you to mayor reed. we had many of our tenant council meetings and you were there. it's coming full circle. there is about eight tenants here. half of the tenant council is present. one thing i look forward to is working with mission housing. figuring out the services. keeping going forward.

it's in the process. sam, we can talk about the mic and the mic cover. no, we'll leave that alone. >> thank you. before i introduce the next very important person that will speak and advocate for affordable housing. i'd like to honor them as well because they have been working closely on the site. for that being said, i'd like to introduce the next speaker. she's a dedicated person that has been focused on san francisco on affordable housing. she's an advocate. every time we hear her speak. she speaks about creating additional units that open up to the community. please welcome our san francisco mayor, london reed.

>> thank you for all at mission housing for all of the amazing work. not only to build more housing but preserve the existing affordable housing. we started a conversation early on. someone who was in public housing. 200 were built to replace them. i realize, more than ever enter the world of public service. this is how it supports them. how we as a city need to think about it from start to finish. what are we doing to help each

of the individuals maintain dignity. as we make the very hard decisions to uproot their lives and change the communities and change all of the situations that they have been struggling in from challenging to better. how do we get there together and how do we continue to work together and not make the mistakes of the past in doing so. i have to say. the only way we do it is with a village. it's with partners. it starts with people like randell and the people that live here. it continues with organizes like mission housing who really is mission driven to make sure people are able to live in dignity all over san francisco and be able to afford to live in san francisco. it continues with our verious

city agencies. the mayors office of housing. i know eric shaw is here and members of is team. it continues with our private partners. it does take a village. this talks about the need to build. they have to build 82,000 units in the next 80 years. never the less in the process of focusing on all of the new development we can't forget about preservation. preservation of existing affordable housing to ensure the people living in buildings like this are protected. i know this project was complicated. five locations, 69 units. the program around preservation, especially at

the height of the pandemic has done more than just 69 units. in fact over $200 million of investments to preserve and protect the units throughout the city of san francisco. i'm grateful we have so many dedicated people helping us to do that. we know there is so much work to be done. that's why it's so important to have the celebrations and acknowledge the work. part of the work wouldn't be done without state support. your former supervisor and current state senator scott weiner is here. without his advocacy. people walk into their new home and know they are

protected for decades to come. that's what this is about. i know, it's a happy occasion here today despite the challenges of the city. i'm looking forward to continue the great work. i'm looking forward that under my housing plan that we continue to break barriers. we continue to get all of the bureaucracy out-of-the-way so we can move and do projects projects like this faster and less expensive. so we can continue to make sure we are not the only ones that can live in san francisco and others have the same opportunity and feel supported and protected. we talk about san francisco being a diverse city. the only way it can be diverse economically is if we have people in all kinds of industries that can afford to live here and commit our promise to build the 82,000

units is important. people think, oh, that's impossible. we have approved over 50,000 units to be built. can you image, can you image what over 50,000 units built-in san francisco could mean for affordability in the city if we can get it done. so, today is a proud day. today's an exciting day to talk about housing and continue our push, work, and advocacy to get the financial resources necessary. get rid of the bureaucratic red tape and make sure we are focusing on handing keys to people so they walk into their new beautiful home and continue to love and enjoy their neighborhood. people apart of if neighborhoods and everything the great city has to offer. thank you for being here today. [ applause ]
