booker t. and the wonderful service they provide the community. i myself have been mentoring a child for six years from big brother, big sister who lives in a very at-risk neighborhood. so i really appreciate the compromise that's been brokered by supervisor farrell, and i appreciate, also, the spirit of the community to come together and find something that will work for all. i do like -- i would like to see the commetion of the -- the completion of the project in due time. the building needs to go and would love to see something appreciative by all and provides services to the community and falls within the height limitation for the zone as it is. i would like to see further reduction in size and scale. please bear in mind we're adding 41 units where there are zero housing units. the impasse on the traffic is already evident by the coming and going with the youth gymnasium and will become a little bit more of an increase, we all understand that but do believe there is further room to find a s

also, the booker t. is, of course, the oldest neighbor of the neighborhood represented in this commission, so just keep in mind they are the oldest neighbor here represented. [applause] >> lastly but not, laura heights, if you see it topographically, it's elevated from presidio avenue and would be impacted the least from a viewpoint in the change in elevation as the percentage goes down by your change in elevation. thank you. >> hello, my name is lauren tom and i live on the corner of washington and presidio. i've lived in the neighborhood for over 20 years. i'm a third generation san franciscoian. i went to public school in the city, went to cal, graduated from hastings. i'm the mother of a high school student that goes to school in the city and we love the booker t. my niece worked as a summer camp counselor there and want to speak in support of the project as it is. it's a beautiful site, a beautiful building. we think this is going to be an exciting addition to the neighborhood that will enhance the

booker t. is going to be there and hope that they continue. [applause] >> my name is robert crispin. i've been a resident of san francisco since 1948. i am now a retired college professor, editor and chief publisher and co-founder of the black scholar, journal of black studies and research which is now in its 41st year. san francisco has seen a drastic decline in its black population from 1948 on to the present as a consequence of the california redevelopment act of 1945. in the fillmore, 4,729 businesses were forced to close. 2,500 households were pushed out and 883 victorian houses were demolished, destruction was huge business. with the destruction of the fillmore, a powerful matrix of black arts and leadership also perished and indigenous jazz scene, blues, maya angelou, danny glover, johnny mathis all have their routes -- roots in the western addition. the major vestige is the booker t. washington community center which has been in san francisco since 1917. the rec and services communities

booker t. washington development represents a small but significant contribution to the stay -- city's planned goal of 400 units by 2015 but each unit reps a significant investment in preventing the emergence of a new generation of homeless adults and families. thank you. >> thank you. >> hi, committee and staff. my name is richard wu. i'm the executive director of tech skills center, a nonprofit state wide to help people that want to transition to the i. trves world and give them job placement. the reason i'm here and passionate about booker t. is that i am one of the examples who grew up in san francisco as a native. my family and i came to the city pretty poor and went through booker t. and automatic the other programs. i went to school, went to lowe, u.c. berkeley and today i'm a senior software engineer for a company called nimbus, a global company. we will be working with booker t. to help them even the challenge if given the opportunity with more housing, afterschool programs and jobs. t

booker t. washington project. providing housing and structure for the youth. but i just feel like the project is misplaced. it makes no sense in this location. i mean i'm a little annoyed that the other speakers have said that project sponsors have compromised in bringing the building down. the current zoning in this area is low density residential, 40 feet high. why would you even conceive a project that way in this location if you were envisioning such a large building and up needed such a large building? there's plenty of abandoned buildings in san francisco that could house this program. other speakers have talked about the muni barn and it being on a dense street, i mean a busy street as being a reason to put it here. i say that's not a reason to put it here. it's already very impacted by the muni barn. the muni barn is a very bad neighbor. the employees come early, it starts up early. they idle. coming home in the evening they honk at people trying to pass them as they are idling. there i

he grew up in bookie t., -- booker t., i didn't. but he can talk a bit about what booker t. has meant to people. >> good morning, i'm a native san franciscan and native to the district. some of minimum earliest memories were back around 1962, 1963 whether i attended the center not necessarily as a participant but i got dragged along by my father who was coaching basketball there. he spent a lot of his own volunteer time coaching basketball there. it was a very important part of my youth growing up in the western addition and this project would only make that a richer environment for the residents of the district and the neighborhood now. i wanted to point out one that -- thing. it's been described as a project for african-american youth. that's true, but many of the new residents of the neighborhood, including people of middle eastern descent, people of mix -- mexican and russian and chinese descent, are now also participants in that project -- project or in that center so it's a very, very important center not only just to that area but to the life blood of san francisco. t

we are particularly enthusiastic about the booker t. washington probably because it will create 24 units of much-needed affordable housing for transitional age youth in san francisco. access to such housing is critical. without support in their transition to adulthood, think face tremendous challenges in employment, housing, education and more. one in five become homeless within 18 months of leaving the foster system. over half experience unemployment in that amount of time and less than half the youths that exit the foster care system have a high school diploma or g.e.d. when they leave and are on their own. last fiscal year, 182 youths aged out of the san francisco youth foster system and given the challenges they face it is critical to provide support so they can work toward their personal goes. we have seen across california that providing supportive, affordable housing can make a difference to transitional youth. last year for example youth that participated in similar programs across the state made substantial gains in educational

it will enable booker t. to expand its role as a community center and provide affordable housing which is desperately needed in this city. this project already represents itself as a respectful compromise and i'm thrilled to back it. for san francisco and for our district, this plan under pot scott's leadership will provide desperately needed housing units for transition-aged youth with a recognized and commended service provider. additionally, with this project, as it's presented to you, booker t. will be able to expand its range of services to its multigenerational, multiracial, and multiethnic communities by providing more education, more childcare, more health and wellness services, career training, and especially with computers, job opportunities for many people currently underserved. i visited the current facility about three to four dozen times a year in my role as a neighbor and my role as an educator. the current facility grossly compromises any educational programs, any outreach through the communit
