possibly of today none of the permits has objected a final inspection just a violation that concluded my presentation for the 5 cases. thank you. >> appellants representative please come forward. >> hi commissioners agent for the owners this will be a long starting with the commercial space on the going once, going twice where it is converted to three spaces to one and correctly eventually got around

to make it a single-space and could not separate those spaces were downstairs took a while to go through planning to do that that way and would have preferred united states to break down that from commercial to residential that's not what happened moving on to today nothing has been done to comply. quickly i'll go over specialist items of the one 4 - the case and the utility room dph you'll see there. um, and on the

violation notice for 5 and 9 utility room without a permit and to install a water heater bottom line we have to permit one that was signed off for water heaters and another signed off on september 28th of 2022. and the permit number is p w-20220905623. >> i pass this around. and we

also have a parking permit for installing plumbing for plumbing fixtures on the second floor on as possibly necessary. now this was suspected and restated um, and all of the work not done, however, a permit was issued and showing was issued i think we'll have to get a new permit it is expired. permits for that.

(rustling of papers.) next, we have 268 this is for bathrooms being constructed on the second floor for 5 and 9 and trustee kimbell storage room, etc. possess owners want to make the sros better for the tenant putting the bathrooms inside of rooms and in the past some tenants may use and only a wash basin in the rooms it is hard to do it in the space the permit we

got the building permit that concluded in the bathrooms but one of them the owners talking about tenants moving and no way teu move out to do the bathroom 0 looks like to revise the drawings and the bathrooms done on the second floor it is true i had an inspection the other day and need to come back for the plumbing to get it signed off that being said, and it is related the - the other case no. n-422 is related to this too and a file regarding the

construction at a new petition for the commercial space again, this is for the commercial space and 12345e6d braking it into three units and ended up in a permit for one commercial space which is not quite nice for the area so that is all done and - so we have a permit that is issued um, and i have it here permit number 2, 02010217081. and i'll pass this around. >> and can you pass these around please for the building permit the one we emerged two

floors the first floor and second floor and we have to revise the drawings and go to planning. um, i don't know how long that will take to that we have been working are working together planning could take months to get it through so that being said, we'll have to take it through them and see how long it takes to for the include that one bathroom. so that is that. case 261 dph for the permit in the ground for the commercial

space without permit mechanical if you are news that violation that peels it out are working together the plumbing for 288 bathrooms and permit that is signed off by plumbing for bathrooms. which is this over here. now on the furnace we have a permit for the if you are news and if you are we have permits for those um, the electrical had

been signed on for the first floor so we should be good are working together that. >> okay. last case we have here ending are working together 081 electrical equipment wiring are hazardous and back to that 515 north lake avenue and systems are hazardous to human life that is safety and electrical permit for the electrical service. we have a permit that shows this work was complete a signed off. which is - (rustling of papers.) over here.

>> as you can see, we have been moving along and keep in mind we're faced are working together - [off mic.] >> you know, are working together the sros is difficult for the buildings you have people living in there during the day and it is jaw tough really tough to try to make that better for them at the end of the day, just takes forever not to mention the permitting took a while for planning and meetings and all that sort of stuff and issues are came up used to be in is on the ground floor at the end of the day, what we're looking for time to be able to

comply and get things finished up we have the permits a matter of getting corrections made and signing off and done i think that closes my testimony on for all those cases. thank you. >> if you have any questions? >> we have - >> yeah. >> that um, what was provided was not particularly provided but whether or not my motion to accept any or all of these. >> now related? [off mic.] >> do you have a pen? >> thank you [off mic.] >> yeah. >> okay. so for the director and the city attorney can be a

motion to accept or expend not accept the items. >> i need a pen yeah, we want to make sure that the department also got copies of this joe. >> yes. williams and i gave them to staff. >> maybe just [off mic.] >> like had enough time. >> is this rebuttal? >> i believe rebuttal. >> you can give the department, you know, time to review the documents they can um, respond or have a - >> yeah. that's fair. >> can you come up to the mic. >> my request to recheck the

documents appellant provided during the hearing and packet or statement? >> you can ask questions but consider and asks for the results of parties about the documents and then you can make a motion on whether or not to accept any of them. >> okay. a commissioner wilson so before we move to accept. >> speak into the mic. >> sorry. >> i like the appellant just decide and testify about the authenticity of those one form of permit is appears an official

are working together the ceo and the sfoufl and the others are um, appear for printouts from somewhere discuss where those came from and give us us the ability to weigh those authenticity and credibility. >> i comment some of those are on dbi website and others are printed out are working together the dbi staff. >> dbi staff had access to that well. >> okay. >> yeah, we would have had the ability to look this up. >> correct. >> one of the electrical permits the last site visit was

in march and done march 21st both should have done a more updated review and still. >> excuse me - >> status as possibly to whether or not the permits expired. >> a brief permit status of those permits. >> okay. >> go ahead. >> anybody have any questions? [off mic.] >> status of. >> sorry is there am i missing that is there a date on those documents to say when they were assessed? or as possibly of what

date? >> please let me know when i'm ready foreclose additional information. >> you look at the plumbing permit was printed on may 10th before 4:00 a.m. >> and the ones printed in the website don't have the time stamped on them. >> the plumbing permit is the city field bottom line? (rustling of papers.) i have a question for the um, the department. and um, super if you have a chance i believe in our oh my god, o opening statement one of the permits

processes have not been finally approved i believe on some of these i'm wondering and requesting for you to testify as possibly to the final status of those permits because (clearing throat) in the top column for most of these action dates and issuance completeness expiration can you testify as possibly is status of each of those the current status for each of these permits. >> (clearing throat). >> do we move into the questions now or i don't know what the procedure is not to make sure we're not jumping public comment and p want to make sure you're questioning. >> for the city attorney to clarify. >> it is question to be moved to whether or not the fees i

thought that commissioner wilson question. >> yeah. >> whether or not. >> (multiple voices). >> yeah, well yes. i guess before a.d. mit those want to know these are fully the prints outs and have dates as possibly to the stages of issuance of permits add mit them to make sure the permits are completed or in the process of being completed. >> my understanding we're still discussing that. >> i want to make sure we're not jumping into the questions before. >> so my question - um, i suspect that if these. >> can we. >> those documents are being

provided. >> i think we should have this conversation among ourselves. >> i'm not asking. >> >> (multiple voices.) >> look the department are you stipulating i want to give the department a chance to add mit those documents about the departments taken on- >> (multiple voices). >> to clarify deputy city attorney sarah fabian it is unusual but to decide whether or not. >> correct also i want to i believe the department has you are objecting to that. >> right. >> that is correct. >> and up to the commissioner discretion to accept or not. >> my other discretion is

there anything in addition to the specifically within the documents also otherwise obtainable. >> it will be easier to move forward and the, emphasis i want to make focus to the hearing for the appeal of about the order of abatement back in 2021 you guys have seen the orders from up to that date and after the data year after and up to day on a order of abatement issued can't finish all the permits. okay. some requires additional inspection and the discretion for including plumbing and mechanical don't have a clear indication of the area and that

maybe this building has two stories and ground floor and experimental and second floor they have violations on the first floor and second floor this permit is not in a specific area and basically i'm not 100 percent sure they're addressing the area the violation. and the reason why we are here today wrond to the appellant that against the order of abatement not accurate the issuance but i will say this is accurate but back three years ago. >> commissioners. >> any other questions? >> no i'd like to motion is on the floor for the document i'd like to make a motion we can talk about the permits outs they are incomplete not we don't have

the full permit in front of us and not had the chance to completely digest the information and both parties can speak cacth to the status of permit and the information might be relevant without add mit its incomplete some of those are kit off i don't know when they were printed out ahead of time and in addition i don't think it is - it gives us the information to comply that in may of 2021 for the correct action that's my position to reject. >> is there a second? on that motion? >> i'll second.

>> okay. and so dollars a motion and second to not accept the permit documents is there public comment on this motion? >> seeing none, roll call vote. >> president chavez yes. >> vice president neumann, yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. >> commissioner wilson, yes. that motion carries unanimously. and on the next i'll do we're on to public comment. can i do public comment on all the cases numbers if i want. >> this is call for public comment on case no. 6919. okay.

>> public comment for case no. 6919. >> can have the overhead please the projector. >> it will good morning. i'm jerry i live in the district familiar with that building. on clement street and chavez if you go to the property information the planning department you'll find this property has a ridiculous history. so there are 12 complaints for this year year i'm to page through it and show you how many complaints there are and okay. >> so as possibly we learned in prior meetings at $400 an

hour dbi has spent a fortune and get to the permits some of the permits as possible was the structural engineer i'll not go into the history but currently it federal prison the next is bathroom remodel in-kind unit 2 no structural changes no change inlay out. this was revoked you see the reason there is no existing bathroom. so the idea this property owner should be cut slack defies logic. thank you. >> public comment for case no. case no. 6920. >> any in-person remotely?

>> public comment for case no. 6921? >> um, to public comment remotely or in-person? public comment for case no. 6922? no public comment? and case no. 6923 public comment, in-person, remotely? >> there is none public comment is closed. is there rebuttal on behalf of the staff? >> (clearing throat). >> once again um, this subject building has 5 violation cases including commercial space, remain and architecture and plumbing and memorable and other

violations so again, we are here for this bill respond to the appellant about their order of abatement issued three years ago and they does not pass the permit until today is still open to final especially the one relevant to um, the most resist for the last inspection u - so last inspection schedule on january 2024 are working together the inspection if you see still open so this permit has not been complete so in in any conclusion i recommend the staff recommended the commissioner uphold the order of abatement and costs. thank you. >> rebuttal for the

appellant? >> can i just let you know those were from the p t s not something that is made up just the other day. we don't object to any of the paving for this we understand the city has put in time and effort and public comment complaints those complaints don't lie. and no longer live and getting back to the sros you'll find surprised not see tons of complaints on that this is not unusual to see that. right now as possibly i pointed out earlier we are in the process of finishing up we

need time to do that and like to delay the read into the record the order of abatement and not that much we need to again, the big one about the bathroom we are not do something about it and will go back to planning and trying to get things done as quickly as possible and this is the sro we've been living there all the time and not easy to work in that being said, i will hope you give us time to close that permits that have been issued and will be finishing everything off are working together inspections and have some corrections to be made. once we're done that is it. >> thank you. >> before the -

>> oh, can comment on that later. thank you. >> commissioners discussion? >> you can ask questions of staff and appellant if you like to see. >> and before we get started he that are talking about the case as to whether or not there were permits in 2021 and i don't even reduce after they originally asked for may 2021 that's the question on the table; correct? >> speak into the mic. >> i know one question but really a was sought more time but the question i have is specifically how much time will you need so that's another part

of the discussion that i'd like to engage in. >> commissioner alexander-tut. >> so i have two questions one for the department and one for the appellant. can you help me understand the difference continue cases three and 4? sorry 6 did 21 and 22 you said they were the same too different violations under different codes or correction that needed to be made can i help me said those two cases? >> case no. 6921 is about

building visions and success is different inspectors and for the same physical 6 like 16 hear both or two different tiers. >> welcome the building code violations by the building inspector different building permits you that helps methinks they look to similar. >> if you sit back here with an electrical violation and too building violations one for the residential hotel and one for the commercial section two separate violations one for the residential and one for the commercial space. >> and do these always have to be separate notice of violations like plumbing and typical and

you this code violations? >> well, it will be separate they're separate inspectors and different codes like the violations one plumbing inspector violations. >> so the inspectors at that time throughout that was serious enough for violations. >> that concludes my that question on that for the appellant any of the work completed are working together the one hundred and 80 days in 2021 or even in 6 months? >> can you repeat that, please. >> surely to the original appeal was on may 2021 um, was any of the work completed within one hundred and 80 days or even within 6 probation officers of may 2021 date? >> let's see - from 2021

(laughter) i - i don't building it would have been no complete i think that involved i'm not sure what is there i know that where we are right now and want to bring up once planning code got involved. >> we were told to stoop work by planning. so and on and on and on. >> that's a direct result of working without proper permits. >> are working together the alterations made without proper permitting. >> for the appellant. >> you're prior statement i heard deregulation you said

you're fine with the assessment costs? >> yes. >> so why my understanding you're admitting for the issuance of notice of violations were correct so, so narrow this done is you're this appeal and the request a request for modification of the order for a delay of the recording of the basement? >> that's correct again we're the assessment of cost we understand you have to pay for a that not free and get time to get everything closed out and whatever the initial costs anyway, i have no argument are working together that. >> okay. >> um, how much time? >> i asked one hundred and 80 days but i think that is 60 days will be enough.

>> remember the only thing could be a bit of a hold up on planning going back are working together the drawings and taking the bathroom and today there they're requiring to go to dbi so before you get a permit at the counter so that was before they sign the plan check would be three months that's why i asked for one hundred and 80 days. >> final question. the base for the request for the delay and this recording you're going to sounds like you're going to do the correct actions otherwise a business reason or some other reason why you need the delay? >> yeah. >> so from a modification to

be considered another factors at least that's my finding any other factors you want to state now would persuade us to provide the delay in theing. >> removal one bathroom and remembered we want to make things better for the tenants and put in a bathroom that being said, we had had incarcerating wanted to come back. >> that's how that showed and it's are working together the sros i work are working together them quite a bit and is an issue of one working in sros. thank

you. >> thank you. any other commissioners? >> question. >> as far as i don't see anything in here that evidenceds to me that any of the sros were recorded in error to move forward with the work prior without the permits i'm inclined to uphold and record. >> okay. and so. >> yes. >> i wanted to say there are 5 [off mic.] will be moved for (unintelligible). >> can you say the numbers or have to have motion by -

>> (laughter.) >> okay. >> through the chair. if i may they have to be separate or name them in one motion? >> already done. >> (multiple voices). >> [off mic.] >> separate. >> okay. and there is any um, changes to the way, you know, we um, you know, theirs 5 of us. >> you go down the line? >> yeah. >> motion to uphold case no. case no. 6919. >> second.

>> there was motion and second president chavez. >> so the possession is to uphold the order of abatement and assessment of the cause are working together replace to case no. appeal number case no. 6919. >> okay. >> yeah. >> do i have motion and second and the roll call vote on the motion president chavez, yes. >> vice president neumann impresses, yes. commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. >> commissioner wilson, yes. >> the motion carries unanimously.. >> next motion to uphold for case case no. 6920 assessment and order of abatement. >> second.

>> there is motion and a second for the omicron and assessment of the costs forever appeal of that number case no. 6920. >> and the roll call vote president chavez, yes. >> vice president neumann, yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. >> commissioner wilson, yes. >> the motion carries unanimously. >> the next one case no. 6921. >> oh, um, my turn (laughter) motion to uphold the order of abatement and the assessment of the costs for case no. case no. 6921. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> and so there's a motion and second and a roll call president

chavez, yes. >> vice president neumann, yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. and commissioner wilson, yes. motion carries unanimously and next - >> i'd like to planning commission make a motion order of abatement and assessment for costs number success is that right. >> case no. 6922 and motion do i have a second? motion and second. and roll call vote. >> president chavez, yes. >> vice president neumann, yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. >> commissioner wilson, yes. >> motion carries unanimously. >> and the last case. >> i move to uphold the order

of abatement and assessment of the costs for case no. 6923. >> okay. >> do i have a second? ? and second. >> there's a motion and second for case no. 6923 roll call vote president chavez, yes. >> vice president neumann, yes. >> commissioner alexander-tut, yes. >> commissioner shaddix, yes. >> commissioner wilson, yes. >> motion carries unanimously. thank you. >>. okay. we're on to um, temperatures. >> and. >> f. general public comment: members of the public may address the board on matters that are within the board's jurisdiction and are not on today's agenda. speakers shall address their remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual board members or department personnel. >> okay. >> um, seeing none, no general public comment next adjournment

motion to journey adjourn all commissioners in favor we're adjourned it is 10:35 a.m. the simmons abatement appeals board/building inspection and take a brief recess and convene at the building inspection.

>> in august 2019 construction began on the new facility at 1995 evans avenue in bayview. it will house motorcycle police and department of forensic services division. both sfpd groups are in two buildings that need to be vacated. they will join the new $183 million facility in late 2021. >> elements of the cfi and the traffic company are housed at the hall of justice, which has

been determined to be seismically unfit. it is slated for demolition. in addition to that the forensic services crime lab is also slated for demolition. it was time and made sense to put these elements currently spread in different parts of the city together into a new facility. >> the project is located in the bayview area, in the area near estes creek. when san francisco was first formed and the streetcars were built back it was part of the bay. we had to move the building as close to the edge as possible on bedrock and solid elements piles down to make sure it was secure. >> it will be approximately 100,000 square feet, that includes 8,000 square feet for traffic company parking garage. >> the reason we needed too new building, this is inadequate for the current staffing needs and

also our motor department. the officers need more room, secured parking. so the csi unit location is at the hall of justice, and the crime laboratory is located at building 60 sixty old hunters point shipyard. >> not co-located doesn't allow for easy exchange of information to occur. >> traffic division was started in 1909. they were motor officers. they used sidecars. officers who road by themselves without the sidecar were called solo. that is a common term for the motorcycle officers. we have 45 officers assigned to the motorcycles. all parking at the new facility will be in one location. the current locker room with shared with other officers.

it is not assigned to just traffic companies. there are two showers downstairs and up. both are gym and shop weres are old. it needs constant maintenance. >> forensic services provides five major types of testing. we develop fingerprints on substances and comparisons. there are firearms identification to deal with projectiles, bullets or cartridge casings from shootings. dna is looking at a whole an rare of evidence from -- array of evidence from dna to sexual assault to homicide. we are also in the business of doing breath allyzer analysis for dui cases. we are resurrecting the gunshot

residue testing to look for the presence of gunshot residue. lifespan is 50 years. >> it has been raised up high enough that if the bay starts to rise that building will operate. the facility is versus sustainable. if the lead gold highest. the lighting is led. gives them good lights and reduces energy use way down. water throughout the project we have low water use facilities. gardens outside, same thing, low water use for that. other things we have are green roofs on the project. we have studies to make sure we have maximum daylight to bring it into the building. >> the new facility will not be open to the public. there will be a lobby. there will be a deconstruction

motorcycle and have parts around. >> the dna labs will have a vestibule before you go to the space you are making sure the air is clean, people are coming in and you are not contaminating anything in the labs. >> test firing in the building you are generating lead and chemicals. we want to quickly remove that from the individuals who are working in that environment and ensure what we put in the air is not toxic. there are scrubbers in the air to ensure any air coming out is also at the cleanest standards. >> you will see that kind of at the site. it has three buildings on the site. one is for the motorcycle parking, main building and back behind is a smaller building for evidence vehicles. there is a crime, crime scene. they are put into the secure facility that locks the cars

down while they are examined. >> they could be vehicles involved in the shooting. there might be projectiles lodged in the vehicle, cartridge casings inside the vehicle, it could be a vehicle where a aggravated sexual occurred and there might be biological evidence, fingerprints, recovered merchandise from a potential robbery or other things. >> the greatest challenge on the project is meeting the scope requirements of the project given the superheated construction market we have been facing. i am proud to say we are delivering a project where we are on budget. >> the front plaza on the corner will be inviting to the public. something that gives back to the public. the building sits off the edge. it helps it be protected. >> what we are looking for is an

updated building, with facilities to meet our unit's needs. >> working with the san francisco police department is an honor and privilege. i am looking forward to seeing their faces as the police officers move to the new facility. >> it is a welcome change, a new surrounding that is free from all of the challenges that we face with being remote, and then the ability to offer new expanded services to the city and police department investigations unit. i can't wait until fall of 2021 when the building is finally ready to go and be occupied and the people can get into the facility to serve them and serve the community.

>> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we

can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet,

but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just

right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is

basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia.

there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my

childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture.

i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy,

know san francisco invest nothing resource sos care for people with substance use crisis on the streets. includes new program and successful pilots. >> what is the location of the emergency. a san francisco 911 dispatcher. jot train that this dispatchers receive for street crisis team and our new program is to triage

calls for mental health as a medical call. we don't tree it as a police matter more a medical matter enthusiasm clint iings, paramedics emt's and councilors are dispatched through 911. we dispatch teams trined identify the crisis. they sends an emt and medic. if you are upon experiencing an emergencior worry body machine's safety on the street call 911 >> nonemergencies use 311. you can learn more about the street you're watching san francisco rising with chris manner today's special guests

i'm chris you're watching san francisco rising the rebuilding and reimaging and our guests the executive director of the homeland security and today to talk about the city and solutions and welcome to the show. >> thank you an honor to be here. >> let's a start by talking about people traeld don't consider that much the business programs what does the city need to have that. >> most people think of homeless they think of people they see on the street in the tenderloin and many people experiencing homeless have not visible to the average person and a lot of those people are children or older adults and families that is what we see at the department of homeless on

top of homeless among the black community we don't realize there. 40 percent of our homeless populationist with the african-americans and only 5 percent of the population today the with the african-american and the same thing about the communities that over represent and we we try to make sure there is equity in the system and reaching the goals not seeing by the public as much we know that housing is essentially what everyone needs to thrive in the community. >> quite correct some of the solutions often vulnerable or smaller scale how do we expand those solutions as we go about. >> a attended in the homeless he roman numerals seeing none,

three interventions need presentation for the people experiencing homes in the first place and pouting are ways for people to get to permanent housing on their own and need shelter so really need all three of the intefrjz for people to assess one the things we often don't understand meet people where they are and sometimes did have the documents or other things to move into housing. they maybe waiting on disability income or themes so we have to be prepared to have things ready to use the sheltered are reality important. we know that ultimately preservation ask one of the most important toltz we can put into our systems if people don't have that mri

better off for many reasons but way cheaper to have someone out of homeless in the first place and the permanent housing is a wonderful tool for many people can't get housing on their own and needed case management or other services to be able to assess the other part of their life employment and things. >> so the home by the bay plan can you explain the basics and how to address the needs? >> sure the home by the bay the strategic plan the 5-year plan to prevent homelessness i want to do what at mayors said homeless is not just owned by the department of 40e789s but the responded didn't has to include a number of stakeholders what that requires is really a collaborative approach we're

really continuing to work very close with the 0 department of public health and law enforcement or the department of - aye. >> by linking to the voices of people exercising homelessness need to create programs without listening to the people experiencing and finding what is like for them to go through the system we're not going to make that better and ultimately will not be successful. your first goal really to produce inexacerbated in our system remarkably equity and also want to reduce the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in 5 years and over all address homelessness by 15 percent your offer arching goals for us and some people said that didn't seem like enough or

didn't seem bold enough to given where we are not just a a city but country wiring proud of that goal and look forward to implementing the work that it takes to get there and hoping will be can he have in 5 years. >> we are here the property interrupt trip to the lovely agreement can you talk about that and then maybe talk about how public housing will be a solution? >> one of the very exciting things about that building it accommodates names families in a neighborhood with grocery stores and transportation a little bit out of the tenderloin when we think of families with children finding places in the area that are enacted by homeless. so very again community space and

actually have a partnership with the housing authority the housing authority has different kinds of vouches they have available and in case with the vouches we use those vouchers with the unit and help to cut the cost we have homekey dollars that provide money to the counties our acquisitions and able to leverage that. >> can you you, you talk about the voucher programs how they help public housing and help landowners into the whole thing. >> sure we have a few voucher emergency vouchers from the federal government during covid and dispersing those with the housing authority and the programs one they can help prevent people from 0 becoming homeless and people are in

danger of becoming homeless with a necessity they can stay in the place they have and people are experienced homeless and in a shelter and kwobtd with the system the best way for them to find it themselves with the help of a case manager or a housing locate our that makes sense in san francisco we will have a number of buildings in certain neighborhoods in san francisco and a number of places in san francisco we find people experiencing homeless across the decide but don't have an easy option with a number of neighborhoods so emergency housing voucher program we partnered in bay view and been successful in making sure that

people from that neighborhood and that neighborhood kind of a proximity for people who have experienced homelessness with born and raised in bay view and, you know. instead of putting them in a place across town a unit available able to work with them to find their units in the neighborhood eventually and we hope when lvrndz will see the value got a number of landowners buildings with a lot of vacancies we think that it is really um, helpful for them and hopeful for us we can work together and see the number of units in partnerships we can get people housed with a steady income from the rent. >> thank you i appreciate you coming into here today. you know. this is great.
