since 2004, hsh and the city has rehoused over 14,000 people in supportive housing. we do this through a couple different models. obviously new build of permanent supportive housing, as well as master lease of existing buildings. this is a great opportunity for us to expand permanent supportive housing in our community. again, this was designed for people experiencing chronic homelessness with the highest barriers to housing stability and the highest service needs. i'm going to ask john to join me up here to explain a little bit more about the lease, and then, i can talk more about the program design. >> thank you, emily. john updike, director of real estate. good morning. so negotiations for this began unbelievable back in 2015. here we are, finally, with the deal, and we're really pleased to have this transaction before the board. this is a ten year lease. takes us through 2028 plus two five year options for renew als. those would be for the greater of 95% of market rent, and we estimate a commencement date of may 1, so that's when rent would commence. we think the

every week, hsh and our partner agencies house or help 50 people exit homelessness. whether it's through homeward bound, permanent housing, rapid rehousing, but every week there is 150 newly homeless people on the streets. many get assistance from us, but we run in place if you will, because the large number of people who end up homeless in san francisco, whether they came from san francisco, or somewhere else, it's not the issue here. it's the fact that we have a large number of newly homeless individuals and we need to address that problem. the way we're proposing to do that is starting to invest in two new areas in the city, one is around coordinated entry. that i spoke about. the other is focusing on problem solving or prevention and diversion. how do we prevent people from becoming homeless? and how do we divert them back to the last safe place they stayed? and whether that's homeward bound or someone who just needs a security deposit or someone who needs to get their car fixed so they can keep their job. this needs to be a big focus because the numbers don't ad

special thanks to compass for hosting this event and for all of the staff from hsh, homeless department if you could raise your hand. and of course everybody from glfe if you could raise your hands, thank you so much for being here. [applause]. so every week the department of homelessness and supportive housing helps about 50 people exit homelessness and that's really impressive. that means today, probably ten people are going to exit homelessness whether it's through our home ward bound program or temporary rent subsidies or permanent housing and that's something i'm proud of, something we need to do more of, but what's also daunting is the fact that every week about 150 people are going to become newly homeless in san francisco whether they were living in san francisco and then became homeless or came here from somewhere else. if we don't change that dynamic, we're never going to bend the curve on this and the idea around problem solving is how do we prevent homelessness in the first place, through eviction prevention, and then when people become homeless how can we quickly divert the

. >> i think he'll hold not just syria but he'll make it very clear that he believes hsh is also responsible. let's get all our facts together and do our strategic planning and allow the military to be effective in the way that we respond. don't get pushed into doing it based on putin's terms but on our terms. >> is there an action that the white house can take against the syrian government that does not draw the united states into a direct confrontation with russia. >> one of these things are strikes against assad's military headquarters, his intelligence headquarters and another aspect of his command and control nodes, send a stronger deterrent than hitting the elements afill the with this political attack. at the same time we have to go to the russians and the international community with a very strong message to moscow that says don't mess with us. we're going after the person traitor of a heinous monstrous act against defenseless innocent civilians. if you get in our way we'll come after you. that's where i'm not sure that the white house is prepared to go. >> colonel jacobs if you were
