housing and treatment for people with serious mental illness proposition one it is a very large bond 6 nature billion dollars for housing, and bed placement and wake facilities for people with severe mental illness we have utilized to have stated hospitals we closed those for this is the most significant involvement california made in replacing the state hospitals with something better and more community-based organizations and anyone on the streets of san francisco schizophrenia see folks with really needs and i hoping that prop one with implementing it in san francisco will help us to better meet the needs of some pretty sick folks i think the country clubhouses the castro is known for a number

of things a place where camera shops and where the queer civil rights movement and the political rights started in the decades and known for a study session for queer people a lot of that is about bar the great night life that's great a darker side to that there is a lot of addiction in the queer community. and overflow room when we were founded in 198 three were a coffee house was helping folks to recover from the especially department of defense of aids crises over time the last 41 years has changed and now we are be a nonprofits have the focus on the queer recovery community that's our focus but the center is on to everybody. we hosted 46

in-person board groups a week raping if crystal clear collaboratives anomalies and overeaters and undocumented children of alcoholics recovery and smart recovery we try to cater to the entire community and all the things they meet needs welfare from folks need a community of support to heal from substance abuse given the circumstances folks will need a place to go and meet forensics and hang out and get supportive services and then have a place where we can just be that's the magic that happens here the magic of san francisco community-based organizations small and mighty are doing work to help people move forward.

>> i benefit from this because when i have questions about substance abuse disorders or tilly chang the challenges i can turn total folks at the country club have lived the experiences with the addictions and will tell me what will work or likely to work. >> with variety is another great castro institution. 1ur7

commitment for the neighborhood. at a time when retailed is struggling not only in san francisco but around the country a beloved it store provides jobs for folks in the neighborhood a if a family has seen is transitioned in the neighborhood were here when it was, you know more issuing working class a neighborhood and then they saw welcomed all the queer folks coming into the neighborhood and really changing the neighborhood and embraced now- >> (multiple voices). >> we started it was started in 1936 by my grandfather and evolved with the neighborhoods over the years my great grandfather in the tenderloin and while i was recovering fixing stuff in the back of his hardware store and the, fix

a holiday or birthday all the stuff and (laughter). >> we are an improvement of we don't have if you don't need it limiting we have everything except for food and cloths and every neighborhood in san francisco is struggling somewhat with the impact of our failures to successfully address the millennials of our people i look 10 or 20 years into the future i think it will be right is about e will be brighter to the extent we found a way to meet the needs of people with addicts to the mint mental health that impacts people walking around the neighborhood and i hope today, i think walkingnd in in san francisco neighborhoods people

have to been, you know why are we not doing a better job of caring four those people my hope that 10 or 20 years in from now my work and others would have to constantly ask that question that will now allow for a flushing of those neighborhoods. >> those are beautiful neighborhoods with beautiful buildings and views and we just have to might the needs of human beings kind of left behind on the sidewalks and in the carrier >> what we're trying to approach is bringing more diversity to our food. it's not just the old european style food.

we are seeing a lot of influences and all of this is because of our students. all we ask is make it flavorful. [♪] >> we are the first two-year culinary hospitality school in the united states. the first year was 1936 and it was started by two graduates from cornell. i'm a graduate of this program and very proud of that. so students can expect to learn under the three degrees. culinary arts management degree food service management degree, and hotel management degree. we're not a cooking school. even though we're not teaching you how to cook we're teaching you how to manage how to

supervise employees, how to manage a hotel, and plus you're getting an associate of science degree. >> my name is vince and i'm a faculty member of the hospitality arts and culinary school here in san francisco. this is my 11th year. the policemanrogram is very very rich in what this industry demands. cooking, health safety and sanitation issues are included in it. it's quite a complete program to prepare them for what's happening out in the real world. >> the first time i heard about this program, i was working in a restaurant, and the sous chef had graduated from this program. he was very young to be a sous chef and i want to be like

him, basically in the future. this program, it's awesome. >> it's another world when you're here. it's another world. you get to be who you are a person get to be who they are. you getgs and then, you get to explore and they encourage you to bring your background to the kitchen, too. >> i've been in the program for about a year. two-year program, and i'm about halfway through. before i was studying behavioral genetics and dance. i had few injuries, and i couldn't pursue the things t needed to to dance so i pursued my other passion, cooking. when i stopped dance i was deprived of my creative outlet and cooking has been that for me, specifically pastry. >> the good thing is we have

students everywhere from places like the ritz to -- >> we have kids from every area. >> facebook and google. >> kids from everywhere. >> they are all over the bay area and they're thriving. >> my name is jeff and i'm a coowner of nopa restaurant, nopalito restaurant in san francisco. i attended city college of san francisco the culinary arts program where it was called hotel and restaurant back then in the early 90's. nopalito on broderick street it's based on no specific region in all our masa is hand made. we cook our own corn in house.

everything is pretty much hand made on a daily basis, so day and night, we're making hand made tortillas carnitas, salsas. a lot of love put into this. [♪] >> usesd to be very easy to define casual dining fine dining, quick service. now, it's shades of gray and we're trying to define that experience through that spectrum of service. fine dining calls into white table cloths. the cafeteria is large production kitchen understanding vast production kitchens the googles and the facebooks of the world that have those kieptypes of kitchens. and the ideas that change every year again it's the notion and the venue. >> one of the things i love about vince is one of our outlets is a concept

restaurant, and he changes the concept every year to show students how to do a startup restaurant. it's been a pizzeria, a taco bar. it's been a mediterranean bar, it's been a noodle bar. people choose ccsf over other hospitality programs because the industry recognizes that we instill the work ethic. we t serve breakfast lunch, and dinner. culinary hospitality programs may open two days a week for breakfast service. we're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner five days a week. >> the menu's always interesting. they change it every semester maybe more. there's always a good variety of foods.

the preparation is always beautiful. the students are really sincere, and they work so hard here and they're so proud of their work. >> i've had people coming in to town and i like bring them here for a special treat, so it's more like not so much every day but as often as i can for a special treat. >> when i have my interns in their final semester of the program go out in the industry 80 to 90% of the students get hired in the industry well above the industry average in the culinary program. >> we do have internals continually coming into our restaurants from city college of san francisco, and most of the time that people doing internships with us realize this is what they want to do for a living.

we hired many interns into employees from our restaurants. my partner is graduate of city college. >> so my goal is actually to travel and try to do some pastry in maybe italy or france along those lines. i actually have developed a few connections through this program in italy, which i am excited to support. >> i'm thinking about going to go work on a cruise ship for about two, three year so i can save some money and then hopefully venture out on my own. >> yeah i want to go back to china. i want to bring something that i learned here thech cooking, the western system back to china. >> so we want them to have a full toolkit. we're trying to make them ready for the world out there.
