board does with the mayor's office to request the budget that meet their needs we're one of the departments that hadn't seen substantial growth this was done by board action i know that is possible that the board given our authority and we have lafco that we request the mayor put in his budget that we have fund that accurate for staffing of our function of the board that also include the staffing in support of lafco this should be where it comes from the general fund and the mayor putsdz that in the budget but if he didn't we should decide as a board operate from lafco we consider or allocate fund from the general fund as we make the budget for lafco i don't understand what he will it will be in terms of of you know educating fund that's an allocation a general fund to ours there's a certain size to allocation and allocate it for 8. plus billion dollars. >> i understand this can be allocated in that way but still has to go though the process find approval there are no goes this will be approved there the board we can say yes we support this budget yes we'd like this amount of money allocated for this purchase because we as lafco allocate it is not set in stone. >> it's not lafco allocating it

so the recommendation was to work with the national transportation safety board board who has made some recommendations requiring all new trucks to have side guards on the side of the trucks so pedestrians and bicyclists are not dragged under the truck and driven over which is a big problem and in in the uk they are requiring all trucks to have that and they have seen a 50 a 50 percent reduction in fatalities between large vehicles and road users. moving forward to the actual item and i want to recognize hank wilson in our agency has actually been leading the creation of this with the work of zack and hank was going to be here and give this but his wife had a baby 3 weeks early so i'm filling in for the rest of this presentation and my apologies if if i rely heavily on notes so starting in september we had a smaller working group come together to start looking at the creation of training standards and curriculum and they met 4 times and we sent out a survey and got input from people who drive large vehicles and trucks and what we really wanted to do was avoid acting as experts in someth

after that april 17th meeting hoping that the rate fairness board board will be comfortable adopting the not to exceed rates and able to advance the schedule a little bit more move up things a little bit faster and begin the procurement process and request for offer going out into the marketplace to solicit the power and other service offerings and then we'll be launching the program at the end of this year expect to have full enrollment in the spring of late winter early spring of 2016 and we'll have completed the post bill opt-out notification requirement so we will have completed the statutory ly required opt-out period that begins before you provide service to customers and ends after so they will have received a bill and they will know of the change in a more real way and they can potentially opt-out and so by this time next year we'll have a fully enrolled program and our initial offering will be around 30 megawatts which is around 270 thousand san francisco accounts. that's my presentation. happy to take any questions. >> all right thank you general manager hale. all right. th

board board of supervisors. we know at a time of success there are folks struggling in the city and an important issue for all of us to take up so we have a number of presenters here today again on this issue. i want to recognize first we will have joyce crum and staff from the division and kevin truit and staff from sfusd too talk about the data and sfusd. we have staff here from the mayor's office of housing and community development but they're not presenting officially and i want to recognize the hamilton family center present wg the coalition of homeless and rebecca is here on behalf of google that provided this grant to kick start the initiative in our schools so before i have presenters come forward would any members of committee like to make any opening comments? seeing none we will have ms. crum and commissioner you're welcoming to join us at the dais . >> good afternoon. i am from the homeless and housing program and manager of family and prevention services. i think you have a handout that describe the programs that we have for rapid re-housing service. they're listed by service type, a description the services, the agencies that we contract with to provide the services and the number of households that are served annually. hhs has been -- h.d sa has been funding these programs before it became a nationally recognized best practice and along with our partners we provide services to house people who are homeless and maintain housing for people at risk for homelessness and one time grants for deposits and back rent and need and outreach and a variety of issues regarding tenant rights and responsibilities, dwerkz and -- diversion and access to care for homeless families and targeted to low income households who are the most vulnerable to a housing crisis. some programs specialized and those at greater risk including veterans and others and -- ellis act evictions and grown in the last years. while the general fund provides much of the resources we receive state and federal funds in the recognition of the local need and the success of locally funded programs and i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you so much ms. ward. >> thank you. superintendent truit welcome back. >> assistant superintendent. thank you and thank you for calling both these topics on the same night so i didn't have to come back again. >> [inaudible] >> i am trying to find -- just one second. it is here. here it is. got it. thank you. it didn't like that you did that. okay. how do i go to the show? good? yep. all right. thank you and good afternoon again. my name is kevin truit and associate superintendent in the community support department and oftentimes when we report on our homeless students we're just to stop at the number and that numbers have been repeated and that's the end of the story most of the time. what i would like to do today is focus on a new partnership a strengthen partnership that we have specifically with hamilton family center to further address and strengthen our approach to supporting families who find themselves homeless. but first i will start with what are the numbers so actually supervisor kim i can go you one further so since 2006 a 250% increase so you were going with this 2008 number. oftentimes again we look at the number and people say what is homeless? now kenny vintso will tell you that homeless is defined as students that lack a fixed regular and adequate night time residence that include the following and we consider homeless if i break out the number from the fall semester we had 295 students identify as home little and of that number 1288 were -- let me go with the numbers here. so 546 -- that's it. 546 were in temporary housing. 242 hotel motel, 1288 doubled up and 26 unsheltered. some agencies and other people know this data better than i will when you see lower reports of homelessness where there can't be this 2095 this is what people are breaking out and only the 26 really count because the state will often say if there is -- homeless is only when you don't have a floor to sleep on that night so with that being said what happens when -- what is the impact of children who find themselves homeless? supervisor kim mentioned some of the impacts. yes, the students are sick four times more often and hungry twice the rate of others and three times more emotional issues and stress and exposure to a violent amount and four times more likely to have delayed development and to transfer will schools with shelter opportunities at least once a year. that being the case this year we entered into december 2014 a special mou and partnership with hamilton family center. in the past on the third tuesday of every month the family youth and transition council meets with various agencies, several of which can are in the room right now and i will list some of them. there are several agencies that meet the third tuesday of each month for the council. out of that we established a relationship with hamilton family center and we strengthened that relationship this year with great help from the director who is also here today. what we do with this partnership does is our staff will -- our staff in all of our schools -- the hamilton family center trained our nurses and social workers -- they all report to my department and we offered the train training and contact them when the family is at risk and have meetings at the school when appropriate and train the social workers and nurses and counselors and help them disseminate information to staff and students. we send an hfc staff member to school within -- so this is what they do when we contact them. they immediately deploy a member to the school within three business days. often time that school community is who the family trusts to share their experiences with and when that happens in the past we would give them a contact number. you can call this agency. now we call hamilton family and they come within three business days when sfusd staff identify a family they provide eviction prevention services for 24 families referred by sfusd each year. they provide rapid re-housing service for 48 families referred by the school district and coordinate with the school staff on how to best identify and assistnies families and maybe one of the last items is the greatest benefits we've had and i'm going to actually show you a video in a little while but we have been talking how do we identify homeless students? for administrators and teachers that are trained and social workers and counselors and nurses each may have different indicators they could look for to identify there is something going on with the student. maybe i need to specifically to ask what is your living situation? are you homeless? so we can provide services. that goes down to the secretaries, cap tearia workers, et cetera. since a partnership is established since january there have been over 70 calls from our staff to consult about homeless or at risk families and 35 were referred directly to the staff at hamilton family center. of the 25 there were 12 that p e evictions and some didn't follow through and this relationship has been tremendous and as an example of some of the support we're getting to understand how we can best support the families who find themselves homeless there is a series of videos that help our staff so if they haven't met with all of the social workers we have three videos and i would like to play one now as a sample. they're actually very good but this is the type of thing we're talking to our staff about specifically about homelessness in san francisco. so i think i can -- all right. we're going to have a volume thing here. >> [inaudible] in the san francisco unified school district and increase [inaudible] since 2007. just like you hamilton family center is here to help. this video is a resource for school staff to help facilitate the partnership between the san francisco unified school district and hamilton family center. we're coming together to help connect you to essential resources available for homeless families. this video will show you what to look for so you can tell if a student might be homeless and direct you to the services available to help the student and their family get on the road for stable housing. not addressing this problem is robbing children of their potential and their future. >> the student and family maybe embarrassed about their situation and not ask for help. sometimes a student may seek help. other times you may only know by seeing certain signses the student is homeless and see the student with the same clothes or arrive early or leave late. the student might be hungry or hording food and not signs are not staying focus or staying in class and have trouble with homework and might be aggressive or territorial or the opposite and overly a affectionate. >> and [inaudible] and always ask the students and the parents. you should be sensitive about the situation and ask them carefully but be direct. are they homeless or threat of eviction? >> a homeless family might be couch surfing or in a car or doubled up with friends or relatives. >> they might be in a sro or single occupancy unit. >> hamilton family center can probably help but we need the date of birth at least one of the parents and please have that information ready to share and we are here to help students who are homeless be successful in school. >> once you find out that a family is home homeless or under the threat of eviction we must ask quickly and we can help. click here for more information. if the student is already homeless there are steps that the family should take immediately to access emergency shelter and look for stable housing. click here for more information. hamilton family from was established in 1995 and one of the largest providers for homeless families in san francisco and have a email and hot line and school staff should contact us when working with homeless families or dealing with eviction. we can come to the school and assess them for eviction prevention and rapid re-housing services and call for more specific information how we can help. >> that's just one of the videos. there are two more helping families facing eviction and facing homelessness and these videos can be carried on to our staff so that they can have that in house at the school to watch and train themselves and again increase our knowledge because this is something that is rapidly rising in the city and we're finding ourselves -- i have no idea what this is. it's a commercial. it's not my computer. sorry. all right. that's it. i'm good. >> thank you. thank you mr. truit for presenting. so at this time i am actually going to open up for public comment so we can actually our presentations to occur and as a technicality we do that over public comment time and of course we will let presenters talk longer than the two minutes so i want to bring up hamilton family center and one of the fundees in the google grant and provide services finally on site with the school employees so i want bring up the executive director who will introduce members of staff also speaking about this new program in the school direct to recognize we have one of the principals here as well. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisor kim, supervisor, members of the board of education. thank you so much for calling this hearing and talking about topic with us. before i speak i we would like to have partners from the school district speak and some of the line staff who are actually working out at the schools so i will turn the mic over. >> hello. i am the bilingual case manager with the center and the lead case manager. we had two families here today and unfortunately they had to leave but i would like to share one of their stories. they came to us from sanchez elementary. one of the parents lost their income and their job and therefore couldn't pay the rent anymore and found themselves struggling. the children were not going to school because the parents had to take them out to search for jobs and that's not ideal either so they asked -- they commented to the school and the social worker called me and i came out within three business days and the family was able to stay in the family in san francisco and had the eviction prevention strategies program a

without coming back to the board so there maybe other ways to either enter into a separate agreement for a smaller dollar amount without coming to any mta board or this board but it's based on the ad min code and the threshold limits we're allowed but i have to consult with the city attorney's office. >> seems like there is some kind of unstated acceptance that would be okay by continuing this item. essentially it's saying that the board is -- by making that decision we would go ahead with the existing contract. we're not just approving a contract extension or a larger not to exceed amount and we get very many contracts that come before us that we approve retroactively and extended as well so i am willing to accept that. i don't think it's the best process but at this point if it eliminates armed services i am willing to accept it. >> is that all supervisor? supervisor campos. >> thank you i have a clarifying question and a question for the budget analyst. who is providing the services right now. >> cypress security. >> so cypress is providing that right now? >> that's correct. >> and you extended that contract before? >> we have extended before through th
