the first thing we want to highlight are the citations that have been given for quality of life or tdinanc, which in the year 2017 are projected to be at 10,800. of those that were categorized as homeless laws, this is almost 6,600 citations peryear. i think something to highlight is that since 2014, where it was about 15,000, that they have been reducing 30% year on year, which is something very positive in reflection to the findings we're about to present, and we encourage the officers and commission to continue strategies to reduce those numbers in line with the u.s. department of justice and hud's suggestions. after the coalition put together the report, supervisor melara analysised a budget report to understand the cost of enforcing quality of life ordinances specifically against those experiencing homelessness and found that this resulted in $20.6 million a year out of the san francisco budget, of which 90% of these costs were incurred by the police department, so this is very costly. and want with tha and with that, i'm going to turn it over to my colleague, delara yarborough. >> hi
