so, with that, would like to invite bevan dufty up to the podium to speak. thank you, bevan. >> good morning, everyone. it is great to be here. let me first start off and acknowledge my colleagues in the hope office. so, amanda freed is here who is our policy director, and then dee sheck snyder who works with people who come in the office and also christine keener. i also want to acknowledge the individuals responsible for draft thing plan 10 years ago. so, first off would be angela alioto and mayor newsom at the time. angela brought a tremendous amount of passion. if you look at the group of individuals that came together, it was a very difficult verse group of people that were involved in developing the first ten-year plan and i think it really is instructive to look at it and see where have we been successful, where maybe have some of our needs and objectives changed, and what can we do to rededicate ourselves as a city to achieve these goals. i think it's great that we brought here with us today the consultants that work on the homeless count because init

>> i know that bevan dufty mentioned in his costs and the mayor has said lord's law -- he's looking into that. and i know mr. dufty said there is the possible proposal for a pilot project -- you could talk about the schizophrenic illness supports. if you could talk about what that process is going to be like. there have been pro and con, different concerns especially from community based mental health providers. could you give us a little built of what to expect as that goes forward. >> in working with the mayor's office, in his model of looking at community stakeholders, he's very much supportive of bringing people together. i've been directed to bring a stakeholder group together. everything's on the table. we have over 7 years ago, we did this before. where laura had come up with we developed a stakeholder group and a community placement program. i can go into details with you at a later date. lori's law will be on the table. lori's law will serve a population and what we want to look at is the large of this, and if lori law can serve a need, what i like about [speaker not understood]

bevan dufty had talked about this as well and i couldn't agree more. opening up the housing authority wait list, prioritizing homeless san franciscans and fill the vacancy as quickly as possible. we've gotten better at the housing authority, but you can drive up to potrero hill and count for yourself, how many boarded units there are. makes you want to pull your hair out. why is that unit sitting there? so, keep moving on that stuff. we have some stock there as the housing authority moves are happening. eliminate unnecessary barriers to housing. you know, this was talked about a bit. you know, we talk about credit ratings as a barrier. we also have the criminalization piece. people get tickets, they can't pay them, they go to warrant, they get kicked off the housing wait list, they can't get into our other housing. when they have active warrants they can't differentiate what it is. when you get a ticket and they won't give you housing because you couldn't pay the ticket and so you're duck on the streets. and, so, really trying to get rid of those barri

i also want to thank trent rohr from hsa and bevan dufty from hope and my partner through this process. we work very honestly together in looking at how to improve our services. so, we talked a little about project homeless connect and daily connect is a new service added to that, knowing that project homeless connect and, supervisor mar, you talked about how to get involved from a policy perspective, i see project homeless connect [speaker not understood]. i go to as many homeless [speaker not understood] as i can. there are 10,000 volunteers in the community, 1,000 come in [speaker not understood] in seeking services. having spoken to many of them, some who come to ever connect, they've made a real big change in their attitude and perspective of homelessness in san francisco and they also contribute to that. that was [speaker not understood] project connect. we developed daily connect as a way to look at what happens when homeless connect is not around with all these rich services we try to bring on a quarterly basis. daily connect is over every day. they use a lot of social media, t

thank you for having this hearing today and we really wanted to sort of hit on an aspect that both bevan dufty the director of hope and trent rohr the director of human services agency touched on, something that we see sort of a lack in our continuum, which is a pathway and the housing ladder for individuals. we know at the community housing partnership, now having close to a thousand units of permanent supportive housing and close to 1800 people living in that housing, that we know there are individuals who couldn't transition to either affordable housing, public housing or housing with less service intensive. but the bear ire to that is affordability. at the cusp of a city that is having an equity crisis and affordability crisis, we hope the board of supervisors and the mayor's office will look at housing ladder, all the stock of housing in san francisco from supportive to affordable housing to public housing. we know there are thousands of public housing units that are off line that will be brought back online over the next 3 to 5 years through the revision process of what the mayor is doin

bevan said this. on getting back to that model that was very successful for a number of years -- >> mr. rohr, so, we talk about thing -- >> we haven't followed that bath the last number of years. mr. dufty talked about the education of the workforce. you were talking about the training and education of the peaedv l going to do the outreach. he talked about the people having the coordination, the immediacy of having something to offer someone which make imminent common sense because you want to be able to get -- [speaker not understood]. is there something we could focus on more? >> the hot team is still under dper. our hot folks are engaging [speaker not understood], they're doing some good case management. i don't know to the extent we have set aside resources now. i think we have very few shelter beds set aside, housing slots. again, i kind of raise this for dialogue because there are multiple departments with this issue. it's not impugning any nonprofit. it's kind of over time we kind of evolved from what i think is a really good vision and a sound program intervention when we launched the plan. >> and i appreciate that. again, to be clear, i know everyone here is all on the same pag
