. >> my name is ariana holland. i'm currently a resident. my mom suffers from severe mental ellis and i ran away at an early age. i moved out on my own. otherwise i would be on the streets right now. they not only provided me shelter but i entered a work program and they helped me enroll in school. i am in the process of getting into a transitional housing and i am thankful for larkin and the services they offer. without them, kids like myself as well as adults would not have an opportunity to better their lives. gotten good afternoon, supervisors. my name is george more, i was born on some november 21, 1992. at the age of 16, i was kicked out of my home. i have been couched surfing, but to no avail. five months ago, we relocated back to san francisco and the doors were opened up to me at no cost. since then, i have been involved in different employment agencies such as you force, jrc, and ccsf. it is important that we fund these programs because they do make a difference. their life changing. thank you. >> good afternoon, my name is george
