i am with the san francisco community land trust.m joined by two board members of the columbus united collaborative, located in china. -- in chinatown. we are here to support item 64 to approve the subdivision of the parcel in creation of a limited equity housing cooperative at that location, so the 21 households can become cooperative homeowners by purchasing the residence. to give you a little background, this is a great historic moment for us in san francisco. this is the first time in limited housing equity cooperative has been used to prevent a displacement of low- income households in any city in our country. back in 1998, the residents were faced with eviction. they started working with community partners and asked the land trust to help them. by partnering with the land trust, the cooperative will not only be affordable for the residents who live there today, but will remain as a community asset forfeiture households in perpetuity. we are excited and want to thank you in advance for your support today. i would like to introdu
