this is a 25 year lease, with the option to extend for 45 years. we definitely want them to stay here for many, many years to come. but more importantly, we know that they looked at so many locations and they chose san francisco. we're so proud, we're so happy, and we're so excited. and we are looking forward to what this facility means. it's not just a training facility for afc, but the public will be able to see this training happen up close and personal. so many young emerging soccer fans and players will be able to have an opportunity to witness this and to experience this and potentially go into the facility and have direct access, and i think that's what makes it special. it's not just about a

training facility. it's about bringing the community together. this team is the first bay area team that we have that celebrates and uplifts women's soccer. and we're so grateful that they chose san francisco, and we're looking forward to their long term commitment to this city. it's going to be so exciting. i can't wait until they break the ground next year in 2025, and open it up in 2027. it is going to be a game changer. san francisco is rapidly becoming a sports destination, whether it's the warriors and the nba all star game that's next year or the laver cup we know that roger federer is bringing to san francisco in the fall of next year. all of these incredible bay area teams are amazing, but i don't think anyone is more excited about any team than they are about bay fc being in the heart and soul of san francisco, so we are grateful to be here and we want to thank everyone from the treasure island development authority to the

office of economic and workforce development, to bay fc and their visionary leadership and their, you know, willingness to really be trailblazers and open the door to especially young girls and women who have hopes and dreams of being on that field and making a difference. they are champions, but they are also inspirational leaders, and we really want to thank everyone. with the city. that also had a lot to do with helping to put this deal together, but i want to especially thank the supervisor, who is fortunate enough to represent district six. he has been a real champion for all the projects going there. we already have over 1000 units with 1200 more units to come. amazing park and open space. and again treasure island people said it will never happen. but that vision of ferry service. anyone can go on the island using our ferry terminals. there's so much that is happening on treasure island. it is rapidly becoming a destination in san francisco to

live, to work and play, just like our downtown will be. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our supervisor, matt dorsey. thank you. thank you, mayor breed. you know, there are moments in history in bay area sports that are really significant. mayor george christopher brought the then new york baseball giants to san francisco in the late 1950s. mayor ed lee got the warriors to come here and tragically didn't live to see the chase center opening. today's signing represents another historic moment, and i just want to express my gratitude to mayor london breed for her leadership, for bringing bay fc to san francisco and how much it means to me. among the legacies that mayor breed is has brought our city. this is one of them. and i will say on behalf of my district and the residents i represent in treasure island, we are so appreciative. thank you,

to piecemeal it because 6 departments we are able to make things happen and from my department is the 9-1-1 features and be able services which runs the emergency operation center where we are right now. >> by insuring the rights of people to exposure the first amendment rights our job we don't want people to think that because the federal government was coming into town that for federal government will be cracking detain on protesters looking to demonstrate and also the law enforcement partners insures that people could do that while keeping everyone safe and something we are doing. >> the jet has responder to over two had the and advising

>> i am iris long. we are a family business that started in san francisco chinatown by my parents who started the business in the mid 1980s. today we follow the same footsteps of my parents. we source the teas by the harvest season and style of crafting and the specific variety.

we specialize in premium tea. today i still visit many of the farms we work with multigenerational farms that produce premium teas with its own natural flavors. it is very much like grapes for wine. what we do is more specialized, but it is more natural. growing up in san francisco i used to come and help my parents after school whether in middle school or high school and throughout college. i went to san francisco state university. i did stay home and i helped my parents work throughout the summers to learn what it is that makes our community so special. after graduating i worked for an investment bank in hong kong for a few years before returning

when my dad said he was retiring. he passed away a few years ago. after taking over the business we made this a little more accessible for visitors as well as residents of san francisco to visit. many of our teas were traditionally labeled only in chinese for the older generation. today of our tea drinkkers are quite young. it is easy to look on the website to view all of our products and fun to come in and look at the different varieties. they are able to explore what we source, premium teas from the providence and the delicious flavors. san francisco is a beautiful city to me as well as many of the residents and businesses here in chinatown. it is great for tourists to

visit apsee how our community thrived through the years. this retail location is open daily. we have minimal hours because of our small team during covid. we do welcome visitors to come in and browse through our products. also, visit us online. we have minimal hours. it is nice to set up viewings of these products here. >> when i in height in addiction i did not see my future. i question if this is all i was minute to be. i was inspired to quit using when i was going to be a father. >> we will have this and she

will [indiscernible] need to take the help now. since i stopped using, our life is night and day. i'm able to withstand cravings, i don't are body acs. >> anyone can do it. >> we are living proof that yo 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. >> thank you chris appreciate that. >> that's it for in episode and for sfgovtv i'm chris thanks fo
