again, this doesn't create housing units, it helps sort of middle-income families get into housing. there are allocations in the 17-18 budget and proposal in the 18-19 budget. there is $20 million in the bond funds that go towards this. there was a lottery in 2017 of 128 first-time homebuyers that applied and 23 were awarded. another option is to seek more information on how this program could be expanded, could become more available. and then the other one, because there is discussion here about addiction prevention. there is a difference between rapid rehousing which we looked at in terms of the department of housing homelessness and supportive services. this is moacd's program. funding at 16-17, they allocated $690,000 in rent assistance. in 17-18, 780,000. in our discussion with the department, one of the things they identified was that one of the reasons people are at risk for losing their current housing is money management. they said 80% because they weren't managing their finances well. this is one they identified as a possible priority in terms of what they thought would be

they are about to tear this public housing unit down. they are going to move everybody off of the public housing to other public housing units. going to turn this into mixed income housing. this is one of the first times this is ever going to happen in asheville. this is a very important project. how this goes is going to tell how the rest of them goes. >> what is expected to happen to the people living here right now? >> they supposedly moved out into other public housing units. the whole place is going to be torn down. and they are supposed to be able to move back. >> how do you expect this to work or what do you think is going to happen? >> i think it's going to take more people to make this happen. we don't have a history of treating people right. we just have to make justice real. let's make it real and really do something, support everybody in the city. >> do you see the growth of as a potential positive for the african-american community here? >> i think with all these resources, the organizations and people who want to do the righ

we are still actively engaged in transforming every unit of public housing in san francisco to make it safe, decent and high quality. so we have 23 hundred units left to do work on there. there is older hud finance developments for which we didn't provide financing, but they're vital to our affordable housing stock. the last four years have been really, really busy and productive. we have preserved or built over 6400 units and have 6,000 new affordable units in the pipeline. and these are affordable homes that will serve families, transition age youth, teacher, veterans, people experiencing homelessness. so with respect to how our work overlaps with the work of addressing homelessness in san francisco, most every one of our buildings has a set aside for households, typically 20-30% of apartments are re-seved for -- reserved for homeless individuals or families. we provide funding to buildings that are 100% reserved for homeless. there are 3100 of those units in the portfolio. and our near term pipeline has another -- almost 1200 units of housing for homeless households. that is coming

they expelled him, rubio held out hope that he would be reinstated so he refused to be housed in the ex-gang unitas reconsidered that decision. >> he has come forward and said hey, i defected. i no longer want to house with these guys. >> but jail officials question rubio's sincerity. they fear he may be plotting something. >> we received information he was no longer active with the gang. but at the same time we were told if he assaulted an ex member he could come back with the gang. a true x doesn't have that ability. they're x'd out. they have no chance of coming back. we can't afford him the housing unit he is requesting. we have to go ahead and wait a little bit and just watch. >> until then, rubio will remain sequestered in a single-man cell, away from both activity and exmembers of the mexican mafia. adam verlander claims allegiance to the aryan brotherhood. but his erratic behavior both in and out of the jail puts his status in jeopardy. >> they say they're going to x me. >> now, the bedrock that verlander has built his life on is crumbling. he just received a letter informing him he has b

the housing units are inclusionary units. one of the projects that we heard a lot about from the community is a new senior housing project that we are proposing. we feel very good about this. this is a project that took 105 inclusionary units and wrapped them into a project that's now going to be available for those that have 60% or less of the area median income, and it's exclusively for seniors. that is what we think is important. we think we need more projects like this in the area. the area that's providing the senior housing is wrapped by retail development and market rate housing, so it is currently proposed in an area called oh, for lack of a better word, perhaps the infield. it's the infield of the candlestick point -- infield of the candlestick point retail center and development. and we purposely wanted it cited there because this allows access to retail services and other access to transit. it's right there. it also includes market rate housing so there's no isolation but rather a nice integration of development, of

the housing units are inclusionary units.

cruz says it was all a ploy to get back to his former housing unit in order to confront fellow bloodsr serving 15 days in segregation, cruz was assigned to a different unit. bates, a recognized leader of the gang, says he is still baffled by cruz and his allegations. >> i never knew this dude. i don't have no problems with this guy. i never knew him. i don't know who he is. he putting on a big act from back what he used to do. he got it in his mind that he's the person he was 15 years ago and it's not like that. you can't be. you got health, i got health issues too. i got high blood pressure and all that. right now he's gone so there ain't really too much i can say. he's not here to defend himself so i'll leave it at that. he knows when he sees me when we cross paths what got to be done. >> the only person cruz might square off with today is his judge. he's now in a holding cell waiting for transportation to court. where he will be sentenced for drug possession with intent to distribute in a school zone. >> i'm staying close by the door in case there is a way out of this [ bleep ]. >>

housing. i'm going to tell you, i was here and the units weren't looking too good. and now it looks like the high class vip, it's a collaboration between the mayor's office and housing and urban development, and you all get to speak later. but i'd like to highlight mayor lee. mayor lee was the one who said we need to do something about being on the troubled list and the housing story, and he just came up with the idea about who was the sean donovan and the hud folks, and i can talk more about that. but let me tell you. it does take 2 persynergy. let me tell you -- raise your hand if you're on staff for ccdc. i know joanna is the project manager, and she'll get to speak at the end. but i know the residents, they had faith. they trusted us. without the residents, you can't do nothing in this city. so it's a trust and the collaboration, that they did all the work. joanna led, our project manager, you get special kudos. i know eric wong wants it, too. special contractor. so much love and energy, and san francisco's leading the way for the whole country, i think. and what

, this past year, affordable housing made up 32% of new units added to housing stock in 2017. 1,466 total affordable units were completed last year, including 421 inclusionary units. breaking the affordable housing units down, approximately 690 units are affordable to households earning between 30 and 50% of the area median income or ami. about 220 units were made to be affordable to moderate income households earning up to 120 ami. about 99 of those moderate income units were considered to be accessory dwelling units. the housing inventory report also describes the progress the city has made towards meeting the regional housing allocations or reha targets. it calls for a total of about 28,870 units to be built by the end of 2022. about 57% musting affordable to how's holds earning moderate incomes or lower, meaning households that earn up to 120% ami. at of 2017 about 14,470 housing units contributed to that goal. approximately 30% of that total is affordable to how's holds earning up to 120% of the area median income. production of market rate housing, built ab

most other new inmates were assigned to a temporary unit until the jail's classification team can determine the most appropriate housing placement. deanna collins has been in the female pre-classification unit for two weeks now. >> we have women in here who have done everything from kill their kids to kill other people to -- just have a littering violation. loud. obnoxious. >> i may have done something wrong but i don't feel like i should be sheer. i feel like house arrest or maybe probation or something. >> the one we're going to see today. >> is that the one with the hair? >> yeah. that will be a good story. >> yeah, there's got to be a story behind that. that's definitely done on purpose, you know that. >> yeah. >> that's definitely done on purpose. you know that. >> classification officers will interview collins before determining whether to place her in minimum, medium or maximum security. collins says her hair loss was due to a salon mishap. the officers have their own suspicions. >> morning, how are you? >> morning. >> collins? >> yes. >> we are from the classification unit and we have to ask you a couple of qui

right now there is roughly 7400 permanent supportive housing units with another 1250 coming up in the pipeline over the next four years or so. so we're tracking this by placements within supportive housing by fiscal year for adults and youth as well as families. i want to make a quick note these do not include the federally funded supportive housing placements. we took a look at benchmarking, using the hud data, we tooked a look at how many beds -- we look a look at beds. washington d.c. which is a little behind us, we by far have the most amount of permanent supportive housing beds per residents which is a policy choice the city has made. are there any questions? >> supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much, so when we were looking at our definition of homeless and we're looking at peers, so are we using same definition of homeless, what is a homeless individual as our peers? >> yes, hud does have standards what they define as homeless. that is

rad and the rehabilitation of our public housing units is no small feat, and it says a lot that this is the first rad project to be completed in the city. just as it is important to build low income new afford annual housing, it is just as important to rehabilitate existing low income housing in our city. 227 is reminiscent of a time when our country invested in housing. that was many decades ago, and now 50 years later, we are -- we are having to invest in making sure that these units can stay permanently affordable for our families, our seniors and individuals with disabilities much into the future, so this project is incredible important. i'm so important of all of the partners that came together on board to make today possible for our 50 households here at 227. and i do want to acknowledge many of the staff members that worked to make this -- this possible. and dar acknowledged the tenants for your trust in us and having been involved with many public housing transitions. it is incredibly tough, and it's easy to understand why residents don't trust working with government and rel

to have housing security and for the units to continue to be affordable forever is for this deal to be approved. please vote in favor of 1140 harrison street in saving our affordable housing. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is... i live in south beach marine apartments with my parents for 17 years, i'm renting one unit and my parents live in a different unit. we both rent below market rate units. i'm here in strong support of the project because it will allow us to keep our affordable housing. especially, i'm a small business owner and if i have to move, it will destroy not only my business, but i cannot afford to live in san francisco. my parents are in late 70s, my mom with alzheimer's, so if they had to move into a place, even if the city finds a unit for them, it will destroy my mother, she cannot adapt. it's extremely important for me to stay in the unit that is familiar. i'm asking you to approve the project. >> president hillis: thank you. >> hi, good afternoon, i'm one of the resi

development of up to 6514 residential units with nearly 30% of that total set aside as affordable housing units. in mission bay north, all 698 inclusionary and ocii sponsored units have been completed. in mission bay south, 350 affordable units have been completed with another 868 planned under construction by nonprofit housing developers. the mission bay affordable housing policy has established maximum rents associated with 60% of the area median income which translates to $69,000 for a family of four. to address this affordable housing requirement in mission bay, ocii staff issued an r.f.p. for the 6 west site in august of 2016. in february of 2017, the commission approved the selection of the highest scoring team comprised of mercy housing california and paulette taggart architects. finally in july of 2017, commission approved an exclusive negotiations agreement and redevelopment loan for the project, allowing the development team to move forward with the design of the site. the current development program calls for 152 units. 50% of which will be two-bedroom units. 20% will be larger units

the types of people that you have see working in this white house, it's a huge unit. these are people that often span multiple administrations like ronny jackson. i think he is being nominated to lead the government's second largest bureaucracy and i think that brings a new level of scrutiny on a person, while we had that very public press conference and which he spoke very charitably about the republicans, but this is the first final we've seen people digging into his background to see what's out there. >> sarah, let me end with the epa chief, scott pruitt, who is also teetering. cnn reporting a source saying everyone wants him gone except for president trump. what do you know? >> well, president trump's love for scott pruitt is one reason why a lot of folks feel why scott pruitt is still here. he's caused a lot of negative headlines for the white house. they've constantly been on the defense when it comes to their epa administrator. the question is if scott pruitt were to lose the president's favor, what would it take to get tho that point, given we've had and some

doing these subsidy programs where we're trying to take advantage of any housing that's available, whether it's below market rate unit or -- just basically turning over every stone and being able to really quickly get that funding in place so they can connect with housing. the programs that we're going for expanse do just that. they're the ones that are quick, that don't go through a whole process in order to get it, and so that's a huge thing as well. >> just so i heard you correctly, replacement and expansion of housing for families? >> yeah. it's for families and youth and then we have seniors and people with disabilities. they're rapid housing mechanisms. >> all right. one of the really -- we don't have this year rabid rehousing request for -- rapid housing request for families with kids. we have a deep subsidy families for ones that need to stay in san francisco. we have families paroled here or who have severe health issues that are connected to ucsf that can't leave san francisco, and they are wait out of homelessness is through rapid rehousing where they have to be placed out of town. that isn't going to work

unit. we are in a housing crisis. how it could be considered to be remove this unit to build, i don't know, four or five-story building and it's still not rented. it's rented out commercially. so there is no enforcement action to take a residential unit in a residential district and continue renting it out as a commercial space? and they're in front of you guys to say, let's build something bigger that nobody in the city can afford except one-tenth of 1%. why are we doing this? >> thank you, any other speakers in support of the appeal only. there will be opportunity for those who oppose the appeal to speak as well at a later time in the agenda. >> my name is cat taylor. i live four doors down from the project proposed. this project has been going on, this argument over it for many years. it has movar evered and -- morpd and changed. it involves tearing down an existing structure. it involves a structure that is out of size and scale with the neighborhood. it involves taking out rent-controlled location. it just doesn't

so anyway, the stakeholders would like to see more than 10 affordable housing unit of units to the 69 proposed units. this is the north market area. we want to have -- there could be more affordable housing put on the site and one bedroom is 505 square feet and the units are smaller than that and that's very cramped. my place is 500 and it's a one bedroom. they're bigger units. and mine is a 100-year-old building. so i do support the design. this is the first time i've actually come to a meeting and seen a design i really like because most of them i don't feel are the character of the neighborhood. so that's a kudos for the architect to build something that kind of sits into the neighborhood versus doesn't look like -- looks like it was just dropped in and why's it there. thank you for your time. >> commissioner: thank you. any additional public comment? >> i'm mary anne sullivan. i live at 155 hyde street. i'm in full support of the project because they did extensive outreach to try to inform everybody in my building at least. and they offered a meeting at the site and i was not many

this was a part of rad phase one, where we have been able to rehabilitate thousands of public housing units all over san francisco. so some of you may know, i grew up in public housing. i lived there more than 20 years of my life without showers, with rodent problems and other challenges that exist with no help on the way. when i first became a member of the board of supervisors, i told the mayor, mayor lee, that public housing was my number one priority, and he believed me, and he supported me. and we worked together with so many nonprofit organizations who help with housing, like tndc and don falk to rehabilitate public housing. so the site we stand on is connected to another site. and because of the work we've been able to do, 60 residents, 60 units which include over 100 residents, they now have a clean, affordable, safe, rehabilitated place to call home. and i'm so proud of the work that don and tndc has done to make that dream a reality, so thank you so very much.

individuals with different allegations regarding the handling of prescriptions by the white house medical units well as an additional workplace survey that was done because of issues in the white house medical unit under jackson's leadership. now, these accusations have already rolled the plans for jackson's confirmation hearing. he was supposed to be on capitol hill on wednesday, that's been delayed according to leader of the committee. however, it is really important to note that the committee is still in the process of figuring out whether or not there is truth to the allegations. they have yet to substantiate them. there is little to no documentation so far. adding to new questions about a nominee to lead this agency that was already facing questions from a number of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle about whether he had the right management experience to lead this significantly large agency. >> and juana, real quick, the medical unit staffers that you spoke with, are they in communication with the committee? >> yes, they told me that two of them have told me that they have spoken with

>> these are troubling allegations about the white house medical unit. this is the clinic at the white house run byr ronny jackson. fire former and current employees tell me and my colleague that there is a grab and go culture there when it comes to medication. white house staffers and officials could get prescription drugs without being examined by a doctor first. they could also casually pick up ambien. this is a powerful sleeping aid. not just for themselves, but even for their children. and sometimes we're told that prescriptions were written for someone other than the person that the medication was for. and these practices we're told were all endorsed by jackson himself. the folks who spoke with us said that the fact the medication was handed out relatively casually meant that there was sometimes a scrambling to account for missing medications. now, we did reach out to ronny jackson for the story. he did not respond. but remember when jackson withdrew his nomination for v.a. secretary yesterday, he said that the allegations were false. >> and i know

we have 7500 supportive housing units in san francisco, the most per capita of any major city in america. yet, we haven't seen a decrease in our homeless population. if we want to reduce our homelessness count by one, we have to build 4 housing units to make that happen. because of the new number of individuals who become homeless every year in our city. we have to tackle the issue from the onset before the problem becomes overwhelming. we need to invest in prevention and diversion programs, initiatives we are calling problem solving services. we can make a huge difference in the lives of at risk residents. it's a missing how effective it can be when we help pay for rent, repay old loans or help with car payments. those small but really critical investments can literally be the difference between people staying in their home or living out on the street. and we know that when people become homeless and start living on our streets, it's a whole separate set of issues that we have to deal with as a city. last week, i had the chance to meet ethel who is a single mother of five children at co
