from districts 3, annie chung. there you are. >> hello. thank you. good evening. good evening, mayor, supervisors, and all our representatives from our city departments. i am from self help for the elderly. we have been serving close to about 35,000 seniors in the bay area. we started right here in district 3 on washington street at old chinatown lane. i think we started with the very basic program, serving 50 elderly in 1966. and now we serve close to about 1500 seniors every day between our congregant new site, four in district 3, and funding supported by the department of aging and adults with disabilities. we thank them for always thinking about supporting the most vulnerable in our community. i think tonight we have invited seniors from lady shaw, also in district 3, which is affordable 202 housing. average age of residents are 87 years old. the reason why they live too long age and longevity in a healthy lifestyle is because we have nutritious meals served in a dining room and social workers at lady shop. 20 years ago and they built this affordable housing,
