2:49 pm
thank you very much. our first slide on the property management staff. and we made progress in the last month. we have a person in every seat in the office two are still in the process. being hired. and last among we hired 2 staff. an occupancy specialist on october 25 and maintenance technician on october 24. the last 2 people are in back upon ground and participate fully staffed in the next week or two. the next is work order summary. in october we had 177 work orders. and the average number of days to complete were 1.14 days.
2:50 pm
including in the 177 are 6 emergency work orders. and the average time to close the work orders was upon 15 hires. rink if a couple hours to a day at the most. no questions. the next slide. this is our occupancy report we show numbers from july through october. this month we in october we had one move in. did 3in are project transfers between 1 and another at plaza east and 2 held for transfers now the transfers are general low for accommendation reasons. things like that. any questions? >> for and i want to give clarity in the left month we talked about the off line units. the off line units the purpose of those were to as development
2:51 pm
progresses to use the off line units for on site relocation. if you see 17 that is the goal of the off line units to use them as we get close to development to be able to accommodate our seniors and our families that have multiple children that want to be placed on site that would be easy for transportation to medical needs or to schools. those other off line. >> thank you. >> what is the difference with emergency work order and emergency repair? >> than i are the same. i know you willil hold questions i know you will go over emergency repair in a few slides. >> thank you. 'morry would you say emergency repairs i believe you are referring to a process there were funds for emergency repairs to the units that took several months they were identified a couple years ago and worked
2:52 pm
through them. i'm not sure the criteria for that. for me an emergency work order is one this needs done right away opposed a normal work order or preventive mince that has a longer time frame. >> okay. when you get i imagine somebody else will do the presentation on emergency repairs. >> great. >> if i might ask about the i see that on the emergency repair there is is a trends over time. and i do appreciate understanding which work orders were open in the october and how long it took to close them. my question remains over the last several months is trending them. so, or is the assumption that there are never any trailing work orders? you always complete every work order in that month?
2:53 pm
jot answer to this is, no. we don't always complete every work order. >> and if you could, in your presentation show that. >> this month we did. or we would show a different number. but it does not happen every among we close them all in the same month. >> so, then is it so from the slide, do we assume present to assume that here to october one there were no work orders open. >> correct. >> all closed yoochlt and midnight the end of the month there were zero. >> that just always happen? >> correct. >> got it. if you could create a report that has several months in the past, then it would highlight that -- you always close work orders or you have close work orders that -- are in the month in that same month and if not
2:54 pm
there are some this dpril when do those get resolved. if you got one on september 30 days. 30 at 11 p.m. would that be resolved like was it or i than does in the happen often. but. >> the last couple days of the month and wit for a cabinet that takes a few day its is machine to are work orders. that straddle months. if you could show this in the report that would be helpful. >> thank you >> so we will services update. the month of october, there were a few events and workshops. and there was a mental health xfinity providing on site
2:55 pm
service to sign up. had trunk for hall wean events that was 20 residents the hot meals week low there were 21 attending weekly. the on site services provides coaching and anxiety are management, support, substance abuse support. and mental health 101 appointments and technical support and also under helping residentses to understand the rent ledgers and plan with john stewart plan payment plans for any back owed rent and helping and referring residents for rent will assistance. with 72 residents for the month. >> questions before we move on? here are trends line data for services referrals, october 72.
2:56 pm
which brought for the percentage of the occupied units up to 43%. for the month of october. then -- following the next trend line data the resident engagement including events that the residents participated in for october. we had 52 attendees and 31% of the population of the occupied units. >> out of curiosity on slide 11 you talk about what services you provide and you had look at -- engagement. and there are many, many reasons why you have a level of engagement or you don't. i wonder how do you decide which services to provide. is it possible that you provide services that may not necessary low be fully in alinement with
2:57 pm
the asks or noteds of the community or -- i don't money to imploy there is a direct correlation i'm curious about had that process is like which you decide which services to offer >> when fih became the on site service provider they provided. did a survaft residents things they would like to see and events and work shops and so those were what every month when they are planning with the association, they are being mindful of those surveys they did when they came on. and continue every year to do out reach and get more feedback from the residents when events and w shops they would like to see on site. emergency repair update. so to give context, when emergency repair work starred
2:58 pm
was 2 envelope years ago of get being the scope of work going through each unit. the contractor went through to identify what was. needed. and what was what was basically emergency repair and make sure the unit was functioning properly. with that, it was 187. . and -- it was in that i think for the off line units there are 4 emergency repair units that were a part of the that are now off line. those -- because of the work previously done in the residents moved out of units. and you know after years being down the line issues progressed and so than i are off line for stretch refer relocation on site
2:59 pm
that was a question left month there were 4 emergency repair unitos this list. and at the beginning of 2 envelope years ago. identified and had small repair and you in as time progressed there are now off line because of residents moved out since then. and so, as of the 27th, we are 2 units remaining. and 971 repairs completed and 35 repairs remaining. the reason why there are 2 remaining and not be completed some of the residentsmented to wait until after thanks give andmented to respect the resident and had to provide on site relocation for some of the units to be able to pack and unpack before christmas break. we wanted to give this time to
3:00 pm
support those residents. and their needs for the 2 repaining repairs. we are estimating to finish the beginning of december for the 2 units. i know we are very happy to hear -- that you only have 2 units remaining. because my question was -- they are titled, emergency repairs one think they are emergency and yet they took a couple of years to do. very appreciative that they are only 2 remaining for the hard work and geting done. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> here are trend line data of with respect. we were in february and now. and i identified until november that we where we are. so. and december should be zero. this graph shows -- was
3:01 pm
identified in what november 13. i did not get a chance to update the trend line data here. we do have 2 remaining. and the 2 are what's in the series 2 line? the 2 remaining in the first -- previous slide. and here we show 5 but that was from the november 13th when i submitted the presentation. what is the one 82 correlate to? >> what is completed. >> okay. if there are 22. or this orment line up the numbers on the previous slide says 186 completed. the following slide it says 182 units complete exclude if we remove 3 it is 185 completed
3:02 pm
with 2 remaining. >> correct. >> that's my error there. i will resubmit and have that data updated. sorry about this. that was my mistake. is it 185 or 186 completed. 186 completed. all right and then if we have 2 is it still 2 units remaining. 2 remaining. >> okay. in these it luxury like everything is adding up to 187 in the number it is 188 total i'm looking at october and november. jowl are correct. it was 187 units and so we had to get in one unit in order to fix the unit that was in the emergency identified as emergency repairs this needed but have to get in the unit next
3:03 pm
door to fix the -- contracted units and we while we were there fixed what was what was requested in the additional unit. make its 88 i will make sure and send the updated trend line data >> great. thank you. echo commissioner kim's comments. congratulations on moving this far. what is the substance of the remaining needs in the last 2 units? they are heavier. the heavier 2 unit this is requires the on site relocation. and provides and needs to have upon have services there helping to pack the resident as there are more elder low and have health issues. so, we have a wrap around service to provide when we need to do in that unit it is -- the
3:04 pm
2 units are a heavy lift. >> what does this mean, heavy lift >> removing the flooring. replacing flooring. tub work. the bathroom work. paint. it needs a whole fixing a lot of the water intrusions and things of this nature it is a heavy lift. >> correct. >> both. >> correct. >> and can you remind us what was the total budget to handle the units? the total budgeted i happening i believe a million to take care of the emergency repair and we have -- used 1. 5 up or 2 million to do the emergency
3:05 pm
repairs and used 1. 5 of it for the emergency repairs. there will be cost savings 50 k remaining for the 2 units. >> and my understand willing is a conversation upon around additional source of funding. that will support other capitol improve ams for plaza east. and that's in cordination with housing authority? >> correct. >> what is the status of that scope and work now? i don't have that right at this moment. but i know that the john stewart is working with the housing authority to get this scope of work identifyd and i believe there is an identified work that needs to be done to basically keep to make sure that the -- property is upkeeped until we
3:06 pm
get to the development. redevelopment. >> and have those dollars, when is the dollar amount. i don't have that off top. >> the authority have that? >> thank you for the questions, commissioner. so, the housing authority has committed through hud 5 million dollars. in capitol improvement dollars. currently in earlier meetings we had to take that information and make that request to hud and that was due to hud in november and all of that has been set. we are currently will working internalally to have estimates of the property made. to determine the types of work that needs begin and determining how to best use the 5 million dollars that we are allocating
3:07 pm
toward that property. we are work not only with john stewart but with the mayor's office of housing and community development. which additional 2 million dollars will be provide. there will be a total of 7 million dollars provided in capitol funds. for plaza east am and we will be going out short low for an rfp. and ask for proposal. to have this work done. . >> and -- got it. so, who is performing the scoping work for those -- capitol funds? good morning. we currently tried contract the scombrrnl contractor they are doing the scoping and the sample of unit on figure out when can do in the budget. and the scoping work is being
3:08 pm
done on existing contract. no. these are, yes. 2 contractor reviews for other work this will give us an idea. why gone through an rfp process. >> these are just to get a scope for the work we doll rfp. this is for budget purpose. we wanted to see what to do with the money and have to -- so we need to be [inaudible] to finalize this before we wanted to get a list cost estimate. how much to replace some of those. >> and can you share a bit since we are talking about the and to reconfirm the source of funding for upon emergency repairs of 180 units and change, the total amount of funding provided was what? 2 million. >> 2.6 million dollars. >> i confirm that.
3:09 pm
>> great to coback with that and i assume there is an agreement in terms of the source of funding and source was from where? >> oacd in the form of a loan agreement? or -- >> loan, yes. grit for the next session when we talk about plaza east to start since there is nice order beginning to take shape and structure taking shape and
3:10 pm
accomplishments good to know as we move forward the extent of the resources this are bruto bear. the collaborative approaches taken across mccormick and john stufrment ocd, office of workforce development where appropriate. san francisco housing authority. so we have i better understanding of where the source. fundings are coming from. how the scoping is taking place. key processes. and also how those dollars will be delivered on site and what purpose. yes. by the beginning of december. >> and those emergency repairs took how long to complete?
3:11 pm
2-1/2 years. >> and were now we have an additional 7 million on line. for us and around the date and time when the dollars will be made available you have the sense of rink of time they may come on line. there are -- no existing contract with the contractors that come to give estimates and the second part is we are look at early 2024 we met with partners to identify the scopes of services should include. we believe some may have afill i didn'ts that may apply we are cautious to make sure there are no conflicts.
3:12 pm
based on conversations with partners that are involved we believe early 2024 would like low be realistic and -- we have an rfp out. >> and i have talked to my team about the time line. housing third degree has the bulk of the dollars and my desire that -- we need to ghet started we can always attach. we are working through it and i'm going to work with eric shaw director so we can move this
3:13 pm
project forward. >> and just i will in the go in the details now more of those will come next month i assume the next meeting we'll get a sense how the piece fit from n bs and john star and ocd. so there is a substantial investment. . plaza east and i'm assume nothing the next meeting in january if not in december. scheduling can cust during that month. we will have a clear mondaying of the scope of services based on the needs. we will be ready to provide that information. in our january meeting. >> again is great work and

3:29 pm
up the attention the word exceeding standards when that meant. this is showing that the work orders that are decision and not meeting our standards. maximum completion dates. over sunnydale is over 24 days with an average of 3 days of completion. reason yet days are -- prolonged for the work orders to be completed because of supplies ordered and they are short. work orderings standard we're 10 percent. and zero quality control. 800 number for work orders for
3:30 pm
october due to the inspections and wing on getting those repaired in a timely manner. what does this mean, time loam manner >> went 7 day period or next reinspection is questioned. hi. cone. when we say or before the next inspection is this is huge gapful if it is either a standard to get done in 7 days or depending there are time lines the question is are we meet being those time lines for the work and for the etification of our commission we do meet regularly around the h2s challengers the property hen having there has been failure
3:31 pm
not only with ebmc and with cbr who is doing inspections. can you tuck about that more so this there is an understanding of what time low means and that this work is important and there is a legality of eyeos this work. to touch to dive in it more. with our h2 inspections once it failed we are going in there immediately to get repairs doneful what has been or road black are residents not allowing us in the unit or are dogs or 3 there are minor kids without an adult. those are holding us become from preparing to get it passed. or inspectors in on time.
3:32 pm
the scheduling of the time we get them completed and scheduling has been a bit there is a timely issue on that. what else. over unable to get a vend in to repair it during the 7 day period. we have discussed it with the household if we need prolong it they are aware we go back with a vendor or supplies. what other percentages of time they each occur. how upon often they occur?
3:33 pm
it has will failed 14 days. and units and sunnydale there are 8. >> i ment we talked about obstacles why you minot complete it one might be minor or not let nothing or dogs. what is the percentage of times they occur? you in -- next month it would be sometimes manage occurs and we over index on that. and -- not look at, well, when are other ways to occur? i will give you know example.
3:34 pm
know inspector went the household was home the kids african-americans 've answered the door the mom was sloping they would not let us in at all. and then when the parent week up they were hostile it cancelled the inspections all together. you in we are down to the left 51 unit this is need to be completed. i can't give you percentage which has dogs or minors or hostility, period. but we are working through that. they need to comply or they will lose their subsidy i. >> right. i encourage -- you to i know that we all have anecdotal stories that occur and we share them. and we make decisions based on them rather looking at data and saying that is how offer does
3:35 pm
that occur? then create processes around an anecdote t. is important it collect the data and understand howune dot things occur and therefore how do we solve them. i don't think anyonements to lose housing. already everin order to say what are different ways. i have been in situations somebody says it sounds easier than it is. of course. and there are other things i would add this piece.
3:36 pm
there are a difference in the type of inspections for the residents where the housing authority usual low the manager and maintenance. coming in for the inspections and now our section 8 inspection department so, reminding that there are still change this is residents are being introduce the to. we are working with how we -- talk to residents when we when the housing authority had these things wield include our service providers to get access to understand when is the problem and how can we get communication. we would send a notice this this is when your lease says we tried
3:37 pm
to access your per minute and these are consequence. those are things we are want to -- soft communication sometimes the residents are used to seeing me or a manager to get them in the new procedure. >> thank you. can i ask a question. >> how often and may be kendra is answer do you send the soft requests? you know. we are coming to your house december first. december first you got the contractor or everybody is there.
3:38 pm
they don't answer the door but you hear a pit bull inside you will not open that because you do have to give 24 hour notice before you -- go in to somebody's unit if you hear a dog in there i doubt you go in this unit do you give them another soft request and you come back again no one is answering the door they men in there. nobody is answering and you hear the dog. how many times do you give the requests before you say, okay. you violated your lease. 10 times, 3 times whatever now have you to leave. >> to remind you, once an apartment fails in the inspection 3 times the unit go in a buyment. that is when we don't want the baitment means the subsity stop we have to educate the resident a part of the soft communication
3:39 pm
is what are the consequences for you not allowing this inspection to happen that is a part of what is important for residents to understand. is if you don't comply with the program either in inspections or recertification. when are consequences and the consequence are loss of subsidy theis i per of our communication and important to include the service provider and property management and housing authority so residents understand why we are push hard and why this is important. if than i ignore it then they lose the subsidy. why in the end, yes. by this time there will be before than i lose the subsidy there will be the housing authority knocking on their door. the mayor's office of housing knocking on their door all of us are work to ensure that each remains stable.
3:40 pm
we don't want to have subsidy loss. for any of our residents it is in the a good situation and does in the for me as a ceo does not feel good. my goal is to ensure our residents remain housed and goal to ensure we can house as many individuals and families as possible. we work hard and we are dill yenlt about how we work with -- our residents. thank you for this question. >> thank you.
3:41 pm
so you be i will bring this up until it changes. i'm asking for trending i appreciate you put september on one page and october on another i think you will hear for the previous presentation it is helpful to understand context. hopeful low the next meeting tell be trended. why if you remember in the left meeting when we had said was the left report in september and did the last fiscal year. starting with october over november you will come to november report you will have the trending for the fiscal period. why? it is the way we assign today. it is that's how we formulated it. >> when you have a work order emergency work order life it is in the help in fiscal years.
3:42 pm
3:43 pm
report i can insert that. using an extreme example to ill strit i pin if you did know emergency order at 11:58 on september 30. i imagine it would in the always be complete in the 2 minutes there will be a trail? correct. commissioners. we'll work with the team and bring forward. the housing authority has to carry both over even when they have been off you can seat trend how will we move forward whether
3:44 pm
5 and carried over but we see how well we are moving work orders for a period of time. we will do that. >> thank you. >> if anyone has the data trended or collected we say see whether there is a difference by vend and like. i upon see from reading this under quality control. why is there a difference as to weather. not a percentage may be it is helpful to is there i difference. performance standards by site. no how many out reach attempts were made and contact individuals there may be upon variance. got it, thank you.
3:45 pm
