[applause]

[drums and horns]

[drums]

[applause] >> i want to acknowledge the dancers. [applause] we like you to join us. [indiscernible] [drums and horns]

[applause]

[applause] >> thank you once again. we definitely appreciate you presence and your being here and considering that this housing site has been vacant more then 7 years, we needed to do a little something to break up the ground, so we thank you for introducing this space. i just want to share-take a little time to share more-a little more about bernal heights neighborhood center, in case you don't know who we are, and even though we are 46 years old. this year we recognize

everybody. bernal heights neighborhood center is actually stations right off portland avenue and it was created by neighbors. neighbors coming to the community. older adults were not having the proper family come out and and being isolated and those neighbors became community organizers who then started having services out of the church and then the building evolved, including it being [indiscernible] with nancy pelosi, so 46 years later, not only do we continue to serve bernal heights, but we still continue to believe and push forward our belief in affordable housing. that is so necessary in san francisco, despite all of distractions we may have, housing is a need, it is a crisis, and it is necessary for us all to be sustainable in this community. we thank you for the partnership for us

allowing to extend beyond where we have been. bernal heights over 18 developments including colridge across the street. purchased big lots this year and that is 70 units of affordable housing for older adults. excited reactivating the housing development. i said up until a week ago this was the first development in all most 20 years, mercy did [indiscernible] we will retract that, but it is our first housing in more then 10 years at bernal heights and being able to provide housing in this community. the community that we serve every day. [applause] this housing site is not just reviving the site where people lost their housing due to a massive fire,

but it is the reactivation of housing from bernal heights in this community and we are committed to this process. we are also committed in terms of our services and so our services will extend here and be made available in this community, so i'm so grateful and thankful for the opportunity to do this under my leadership. it was at first it was kind of a little what's the bucket list, if you will, but that bucket turned into maybe a construction thing they keep the cement in, because it has gone beyond some idea that i wanted to do as part of a legacy. the housing is a legacy for everyone. i am going to not take up more much time, because we have some amazing people here that want to share and contribute to this day. i like to first introduce

senator scott wiener and he is known as the strong proponent of affordable housing for numerous state bills he has helped expedite to production of affordable housing, but i like to add we are recipient of your work and dedication because had not been for sb35 and a b2011 we would not be here today. to have a senator committed not just to affordable housing and how you get it done is so crateical. critical. many people looked at it but nobody had ground-breaking until today so thank you for your leadership and your contribution to bills that allow us to get it done. if you come up. thank you. [applause] >> thank you gina. it is not going to rain. rain is a good thing.

so, congratulations and thank you to your work and to bernal height neighborhood center over many many years to support the community and this is amazing. i was just talking to supervisor ronan and sure she will talk about this. she was running for supervisor when this fire happened and congratulations on the capstone and i also want to say madam mayor, thank you for your incredible leadership on housing. all the work we have done at the state level to try to expedite the delivery of housing, including many thousands of units of affordable housing, mayor breed has been with us every step of the way, so thank you madam mayor for your leadership. [applause] we sort of got away in california from the basic notion that having enough housing for everyone is an important thing that we-i think we used to have sthat that approach and it went away and we have been trying to get

back to the basic approach that we should have enough homes for everyone who needs the homes. we also got away from the basic notion that yes, a private sector will deliver a lot of housing, but we also need government public investment in housing. we used to do that in this countryane big way, and that held enormous number of people from the early part of the century to the mid-part of the century and that went away and the federal government drew back and california drew back when redevelopment was ended and over the last 6 years, the legislature and governor newsom dramatically expand state investment in affordable housing in california and we need to continue that work. it is a public private partnership to address our housing needs and one of the key things we have been trying to do is to say, it should not take 3, 4, 5, 10 years to get housing approved. we need to get housing

yesterday and so we have done a lot of work and it is always-warms my heart when i see at the local level affordable housing that would have taken years and years is now taking 3, 4 months to get approved and i thank the planning department and our mayor office of housing for housing. it is such an amazing team effort to do this and we have more work to do and i'm committed to that work and look forward partnering with or local community for a greater housing future. i know from the days on board of supervisor, every time you get an alert on the phone saying there is a fire, it just my immediate first thought is how many people are going to be displaced by this fire and how are we going to make sure they dont become homeless and don't have to leave and it is-i hope in the future we can have less

then 8 years to get it turned around, but this is just fantastic and a great day for the community, so congratulations everyone. thank you. [applause] >> thank you again senator wiener. next i don't think she needs any introduction, but i will do my best. we are grateful to have our mayor london breed here and there is something i will take a risk and sharing with you. there is a biblical principal that is often referred to as seed, time and harvest. i heard it often shared about some people water, some plant and some get to harvest, but one thing i learned from a mentor is she showed me

preparation time is never lost time and if someone else gets to plant or water, the seeds were good. so, i want to bring you up and thank you for being good to this city, helping affordable housing and partnering with wiener. things made available, all the things came together with partnership. it all matters from the mayor's office to every office and we appreciate your commitment to the city and in particular affordable housing and programs in our neighborhoods, so thank you. [applause] >> thank you so much gina and, i am so happy and proud of all the work that you continue to do to help lead an extraordinary organization that helps to serve the community and now with the incredible opportunity before

us to produce housing for those who need it the most. there is no better excitement and joy that comes with providing a safe affordable place for someone to call home. and i am so grateful you partner with tabernacle and it is good to see a lot of friends from tabernacle, including james mccray and others who continue to make sure that opportunities in this city, especially for folks from the african american community exist. because, a lot of people talk about it, but when the time comes to make the investments, sometimes it doesn't happen and i'm so proud the work i have done in my office to invest in some of the most vulnerable communities will finally bear the fruit necessary to insure continued success. what does that mean? what it means is, projects like this will start happening whether people try to oppose them or not.

projects like this will move forward and thanks to the leadership of folks like scott wiener, they won't be kauped. stopped. this is personal for my, as someone who grew up in public housing where there were 300 housing units and they were torn down for the purpose of rebuilding a better community, but only 200 units were built back. in this particular case, not only will everyone have their own bathroom and their own kitchen, but they will not have to share those kinds of amenities because they deserve to have the decency of able to live in their own place and create their own destiny as a result. housing is so much more then just 4 walls, it provides a opportunity for future growth and development for the people who are fortunate enough to receive it. i want to thank bernal heights neighborhood association,

tabernacle and mayor office of housing and planning department because again, working together we will create more of these opportunities moving forward into the future and this is only the beginning. taking a tragedy like a fire and creating new hope and opportunity, and supervisor, because of neighborhood preference legislation i authored back in the day while on the board of supervisors, the people who live in this community will get right of first refusal and that is what needs to happen in order to move this forward so thank you all for being here today. [applause] >> thank you again mayor london breed. the next person i like to bring up became a friend to me when i started in this role. it was definitely baptist by fire as you recall. i did win an award for it.

not trying to brag. [laughter] but supervisor ronan has remained just committed to this community for the duration of her leadership, and from whether it is something that happened as a pedestrian safety to fiesa to housing to many many things, the fires that still happened in this neighborhood that we have to manage, her and her team have been very responsive and have been encouraging and have been true partners, so thank you and if you like to come up, thank you supervisor ronan. [applause] >> thank you. i know, there is tall people in the crowd and i'm not one of them. this is a really special moment for me, because it brings me full circle. eight years ago running for supervisor, i was at a house party in

bernal heights, and we saw the fire start. i was a legislative aid at the time for my predecessor david compos and i ran down the hill, because that is our job and i'll take a moment to introduce anna herrera and jennifer from my office who do that amazing work every day. legislative aids in district 9 office. and i ran down and i watched the fire destroy the entire block and i met the residents that were displaced. we were all camped in a safeway parking lot with the red cross and i met with the families and the individuals who lost their housing that day and it was a truly awful awful event. to go from that tragedy and have tried so hard for the whole eight years to get this rebuilt in time to bring those tenants back.

we wanted to bring the tenants back, and to have [indiscernible] every step of the way was so frustrating until something amazing happened where gina and the bernal heights neighborhood center and tabernacle and tndc came together and have to shout out of course the mayor who championed this all along, but the former head of mohc, eric shaw was just like, i am going to do what needs to be done to not only make sure this becomes affordable housing, but make sure it is one of the black lead development projects in our city, and he-i give him a round of uz applause. he couldn't be here today, but i am not sure this project would have happened without him, so i have to shout him out. this is just a miracle. [indiscernible]

it is just a miracle and this is happening and i just want to thank you all for doing what needs to be done for this community and really thankful to mayor and senator scott wiener for championing affordable housing with everything in them. it is what we need, it is what is going to make the city continue to be the incredible place that it is. it is what will make sure that our residents get to continue to live here and we are not an amazing city unless we have the economic diversity that is necessary for any place to be vibrant, fun, incredible, welcoming and functioning. thanks so much and congratulations. [applause] >> thank you again supervisor ronan.

the next person i like to bring up is dr. mccray. i had in between signings had the incredible opportunity to get to know him and she is a true historian of housing in san francisco at a neighborhood level. this man needs to be interviewed, press or whom ever about the history, because what i'm learning is, our history is disappearing and people don't know why they are doing what they are doing today. it is people like him that you can speak to him for 5 minutes and he'll remind you why you have to give back at the computer on the zoom to take a call to do a closing. with his kind words and history about why housing is necessary. if you come up dr. mccray and share some words. thank you. [applause]

>> thank you so very much. from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for your courage, for your strength and for your tenacity. you have brought this project to this milestone place, and i want to commend you my sister, because i know what you had to get over. i remember when you were sick, but you fought it through and i watched with great pleasure and joy. thank you so very much. [applause] i use the word embodiment. embody. ment. this ground breaking is a embodiment of tabernacle motto, seeking the welfare of the city. it is a milestone to see

like-minded participants focus on creating an entity which could develop. build and develop affordable housing in the city. strengthening the capacity of those organizations in order that we might serve the community and best interests today and for years to come. i celebrate the tabernacle has been invited in by bernal and mitchellville and the city and the state, and the county. city and county of san francisco. and all of the leaders in the mayor's office of housing to participate in the development of this 3300 mission street. we are involved in the city through rad. we are involved in the city

through early days of the ship yard development, but this brings a footprint in theprint and we thank you. i like to ask that the board of directors of tabernacle community development corporation who are here, would you please stand? [applause] and the bishop is here. [applause] and of course who is exofficial, my wife is here. sitting on the row. i also like to ask mitchellville, would you please stand? we got a chance to meet the mitchell folks this morning when we came in. [applause] it is so good to see you and brother andre wright thank you so very much. i want to conclude with a thought.

complexity drives the population to a attitude of dismissiveness. building affordable housing is complicated. all you laughing please stand. they do all the work. they are like, youp dont know what you are talking about. but it is complicated. i heard us talk about seeds being planted. i remember what was it, mayor--30 years ago when you were sitting at the redevelopment agency we went in with our packet of what tabernacle was going to be and planted seeds together and here we are today! seeds are coming up. because we were not dismissed by all of the entities that would do so.

but we kept rallying and rallying and rallying and the board of supervisors would pass a bill and the state would pass a bill and we inch along a little further, a little further, until a woman like gina came with the energy to pull it all together on the ground. here we are today. surprised if you will by god's grace. men and women just ordinary folks, have come together to create a beautiful vision. not only for our city, but for the nation. affordable housing, though complex, can be realized. thank you all so very much.

[applause] >> i just want to participate. i'm tired getting up here. this is awesome. next i would like to call our board chair of the bernal heights housing corporation up, michael smith. he has been more then a board chair. he came on interested in probably coached a bit by [indiscernible] i still remember the event we met. but he has been just a rock for us in this work. his background is in planning for here in san francisco and other places, and his guidance and his tenacity and just calmness we need in the work consistently calm has been

really an anchor for me and our entire organization and so i would like to call michael up, as it starts to rain again. [laughter] [applause] >> thank you gina for the introduction and thank you dr. mccray for inspiring words. good morn ing and thank you all for being here today to celebrate the groundbreaking of 3300 mission. affordable housing development that make a real difference in the lives of many in the community. my name is michael smith, the president of the bernal heights housing corporation, a subsidary of the bernal heights neighborhood center. the bernal heights housing corporate develop preserve and rehabilitate affordable homes throughout san francisco and primarily bernal heights. our housing program are designed to

support adult and children including formally homeless individuals and those with special needs due to mental health issues hiv aids or substance abuse problems. more then 40 years bernal heights housing corporation has been a key contributeser to affordable housing and community organizing in the bernal heights neighborhood and surrounding area. to date, fwhirnl heights neighborhood housing corporation has completed over 18 affordable housing developments, which includes over 586 housing units. today is more then just a start of construction, it is beginning of a new chapter for households who will soon call this place home. housing is affordable is a vital part of healthy communities and with 35 new homes, 3300 well offer not only a roof over peoples heads and the security and stability they need to thrive.

we know access to safe and affordable housing is a fundamental need. one that shapes every other part of a person's life, whether education, employment or healthcare. that is why projects like this is so important. it gives a chance to succeed, contribute to the community and live with dignity. none of this is possible without the hard work and collaboration of our development team, which includes mitchellville real estate and tabernacle. together we worked tirelessly to make the vision reality. i also want to thank bar architects designer behind this. they were true partners in all this [applause] those who participated in the process know what bar meant to the building and making it happen.

and i also like to acknowledge our partners without whom none of this would have been possible. to the future residents of 3300 mission, we are excited to welcome you to bernal heightss. we are confident the new homes are the place you can build the future you deserve. as we break ground today, remember this is just the start. there is still much more to be done, but together we'll continue to build a city where everyone has access to the opportunity and stability that come with a safe affordable home. before i wrap up, i just want to share some data with you, because in my family we like data. [laughter] i ran across a article in the paper in the chronicle that said, between 2016 and 2021, in bernal heights saw net increase of 60 housing units. 60 housing units.

that was.2 percent of the growth in the city and lowest of any neighborhood in san francisco. this project will let others know bernal height intend to accommodate its fair share of housing. again, thank you for joining us today to celebrate the groundbreaking of 3300 mission. we are proud of our work and we look forward to seeing you at the ribbon cutting in the fall of 2026 and i like to bring gina back up for closing remarks. [applause] thank you. >> wow. i did not know the 60 thing. we always talked about the census results in terms of community members, but to know that only 60 units were made is incredible. we should all feel more empowered around affordable housing just hearing that.

i would like to also thank a few people. but the first person i like to thank is my husband, charles. [applause] he normally has to deal with me and in housing. those are two different people and i'm a gemini. i again would like to thank all our staff from the development team to connie who just had her baby two weeks ago, to our staff that came to support from the finance team and admin team to support in that area. as well as our partners in terms of bar. again, we could spend the rest of the day talking around the commitment that this architect firm had for this little development organization over

here in bernal. we have the a team as andre shares on the project from everybody tied to it to [indiscernible] and other folks, jeff. they all cared about this project and it is just-sometimes i just am so just wondering how did we get such great luck? it is more then luck, this is a plan and assignment that we all committed to do and we will see this thing done through 2026. it is going to happen, and we have a great team to make sure that it does. [applause] we have overcame hurdles unheard of in a projethin a year and still kept on track. we still kept on schedule. we still operated in excellence and we are more then partners, we

allowed to learn each other organically before we signed a paper, so i thank our team again with tabernacle and mitchellville and their loved ones dealing with everything behind the curtain. it is necessary and as andre, shared there is no easy housing left in san francisco. it will require to be in your back yard. it will require to be in the commercial space if we are going to solve housing. that's it. we need to solve housing, that's it. what is necessary to do that? supporters and people like you who are standing in the space to get it done and we thank you for your past participation, we know we will need you further and we appreciate just your commitment and responsiveness to our team and every process that we had and i just want to thank the planning department in particular of the

getting over the last hurdle to the last piece of document we had to sign at the last minute. it is all necessary. it could be ugly and it is okay. i used to say, flawless execution happens behind the curtain and only the staff and maybe the board gets to see. but that's not necessarily authentic. i want everybody to see what it takes to do housing so you can understand from the time the first shovel is done until you see the great building that it took a lot of work and effort and commitment and even honoring the tribe that was here that we would protect and preserve and create housing and services for community. we are building on that. we partnered with that. so i thank you for that. we have a special act-- okay.

so, one thing that we-i have seen the golden shovel many time and if you have been to a ground breaking you dig in dirt. we brought dirt here. the other thing we had done is had muralist paint shovels representing the tribes that were here, so when we take the shovel and dig in the dirt, we are moving forward with the housing and committing to honoring them from the past and we are going to have our speakers, so it is tabernacle, mitchellville who did not speak today who will, michael and if we can have our mayor and senator wiener and our supervisor come up and dr. mccray, if you all can come up and get a shovel and we will go through this process.

[applause] 1, 2, 3. 3200! [applause] >> working with kids, they keep

you young. they keep you on your tones -- on your toes. >> teaching them, at the same time, us learning from them, everything is fulfilling. >> ready? go. [♪♪♪] >> we really wanted to find a way to support women entrepreneurs in particular in san francisco. it was very important for the mayor, as well as the safety support the dreams that people want to realize, and provide them with an opportunity to receive funding to support improvements for their business so they could grow and thrive in their neighborhoods and in their industry. >> three, two, one! >> because i am one of the consultants for two nonprofits here for entrepreneurship, i

knew about the grand through the renaissance entrepreneur center, and through the small business development center. i thought they were going to be perfect candidate because of their strong values in the community. they really give back to the neighborhood. they are from this neighborhood, and they care about the kids in the community here. >> when molly -- molly first told us about the grant because she works with small businesses. she has been a tremendous help for us here. she brought us to the attention of the grand just because a lot of things here were outdated, and need to be up-to-date and redone totally. >> hands in front. recite the creed. >> my oldest is jt, he is seven, and my youngest is ryan, he is almost six. it instills discipline and the boys, but they show a lot of care. we think it is great. the moves are fantastic. the women both are great

teachers. >> what is the next one? >> my son goes to fd k. he has been attending for about two years now. they also have a summer program, and last summer was our first year participating in it. they took the kids everywhere around san francisco. this year, owner talking about placing them in summer camps, all he wanted to do was spend the entire summer with them. >> he has strong women in his life, so he really appreciates it. i think that carries through and i appreciate the fact that there are more strong women in the world like that. >> i met d'andrea 25 years ago, and we met through our interest in karate. our professor started on cortland years ago, so we grew up here at this location, we out

-- he outgrew the space and he moved ten years later. he decided to reopen this location after he moved. initially, i came back to say, hey, because it might have been 15 years since i even put on a uniform. my business partner was here basically by herself, and the person she was supposed to run the studio with said great, you are here, i started new -- nursing school so you can take over. and she said wait, that is not what i am here for i was by myself before -- for a month before she came through. she was technically here as a secretary, but we insisted, just put on the uniform, and help her teach. i was struggling a little bit. and she has been here. one thing led to another and now we are co-owners. you think a lot more about safety after having children and i wanted to not live in fear so much, and so i just took advantage of the opportunity, and i found it very powerful to

hit something, to get some relief, but also having the knowledge one you might be in a situation of how to take care of yourself. >> the self-defence class is a new thing that we are doing. we started with a group of women last year as a trial run to see how it felt. there's a difference between self-defence and doing a karate class. we didn't want them to do an actual karate class. we wanted to learn the fundamentals of how to defend yourself versus, you know, going through all the forms and techniques that we teaching a karate class and how to break that down. then i was approached by my old high school. one -- once a semester, the kids get to pick an extra curricular activity to take outside of the school walls. my old biology teacher is now the principle. she approached us into doing a self-defence class. the girls have been really proactive and really sweet.

they step out of of the comfort zone, but they have been willing to step out and that hasn't been any pushback. it is really great. >> it is respect. you have to learn it. when we first came in, they knew us as those girls. they didn't know who we were. finally, we came enough for them to realize, okay, they are in the business now. it took a while for us to gain that respect from our peers, our male peers. >> since receiving the grant, it has ignited us even more, and put a fire underneath our butts even more. >> we were doing our summer camp and we are in a movie theatre, and we just finished watching a film and she stepped out to receive a phone call. she came in and she screamed, hey, we got the grant. and i said what? >> martial arts is a passion for us. it is passion driven. there are days where we are dead tired and the kids come and they have the biggest smiles on their

faces and it is contagious. >> we have been operating this program for a little over a year all women entrepreneurs. it is an extraordinary benefit for us. we have had the mayor's office investing in our program so we can continue doing this work. it has been so impactful across a diversity of communities throughout the city. >> we hope that we are making some type of impact in these kids' lives outside of just learning karate. having self-confidence, having discipline, learning to know when it's okay to stand up for yourself versus you just being a bully in school. these are the values we want the kids to take away from this. not just, i learned how to kick and i learned how to punch. we want the kids to have more values when they walk outside of these doors.

impressionism. the buildings was built in 1948. it was one of the two, probably three buildings built first in the whole shopping center before they did the shopping center, there was golden gate park. this cemetery ran from masonic to [indiscernible] the building next door is jointly owned. [indiscernible] was a want to be [indiscernible] and they were digging new pipes and everything into it and the owner came to me and he said, what are we going to do? what am i going to do. we are digging the pipes and found a coffin half way between the kitchen and i think your refrigerator. i told him what to do. i said you are not go toog say a word. if you do they will do a archaeological survey and you won't get anything built.

uses the wine and think where we are different. a lot of stores can sell a product and the product given by labels, we sell the product, but i always say, we don't just sell a wine or product, we sell satisfaction with this. >> good afternoon and welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors meeting for
