supervisor chan. >> thank you. i agree and i think the civil grand jury has mentioned during the presentation little bit and think the department already tracking that data when director--when she first came on board it was so impressive to here just under her leadership how quickly just your point of entry process has significantly improved. at least in my opinion it has and you are moving much faster in terms of service delivery. i think that the-it is what she said when she first came on board that got me excited and i think that is something that we have discuss in the past is that, and also now concur by the civil grand jury presentation is that, when we place someone in a home provided that service, how long do they stay home and stay housed, and that is really a key to that measure of success. if we place someone in a home and now they are housed, within i think at that time i think director mcfadden talked 80 or 90 percent of people stay housed the first year as soon as they got placement and think that is

chair chan. i just are want to express sentiment that i heard across the city particularly ibareas immediately impacted. many small businesses said they saw their revenue sales for traffic drop by 80 percent or more. they essentially were asked to foot the bill for something that they would have no benefit for. it was no thought put into helping small businesses in particular, community organizations that serve many seniors, low income, after school--so, it was intentional to be an invitation for world leaders but there was no consideration given to the people that are in community and those immediately impacted by this. this isn't directed at you by the way, this is directed at the mayor office and the ones in charge of leading this conversation and how it impact community directly. there other thing i heard, clean and safe, everyone said if san francisco can make this work for this summit, why can't we do that consistantsly. i haven't heard you speak about that. just your opinion. that is a big
