assembly members chiu and ting and state senator weiner are working for us to capture these funds. what is our pact? the port commission approved this plan, we are recommending this to you. we are asking you to send this to the full board today. deputy city attorney givner has some recommendations relative to a split file, and you'll be hearing from supervisor peskin's office about future amendments at the board, but otherwise, this is our path to a november question in front of the san francisco voters. the proposed $425 million seawall bond, again, is a first step in a generational long program to strengthen and make safe our embarcadero and to protect our city. we cannot wish these threats away, and with your leadership, with the leadership of late mayor lee, he was such a great supporter of this project, mayor farrell, president breed, supervisor peskin, with all of you with our state and local -- our state and federal delegation and our community stakeholders, we can build the future we want to see and prepare the framework for our children, and so we urge your support today a

and i want to say a special thanks to assembly man -- senator weiner, assembly men chiu, and this budget, as large as it is and as large as the investments are within homelessness does not reflect a single dollar of that ask, and we have had great results in sacramento in committees over the past few weeks, and we are hopeful that additional funding will be coming shortly from sacramento. this budget invests in measures that prevent people from falling into the clutches of homelessness to begin with, while also supporting programs that ensure once they are housed, they will have the support and services that they need to avoid slipping back into homelessness on our streets. we will be compassion driven in our approach, but we will also take strategic common sense measures, measures such as our encampment resolution teams, because no one gets better by living on our streets at night. the first fiscal year of my budget will include $30 million in new initiatives for homelessness. that package includes an investment to double our home ward bound budget, a measure that reunites struggling fa

. >> good morning, brian chiu with the s omar'ice of housing and community development. i come here with our annual request to allow us to accept and expand our hud allocations in these four different funding streams. as you see attached in your packet, we are moving into the fourth year of our five-year funding cycle. we are grateful that we will be able to maintain all of our grantees at the same level to which they were previously entitled this year. as you may recall, even though the president chose to zero out the community development block programs, congress saw fit not only to renew that program but actually to increase it a little bit more, which means that for us, we have a little more money to provide for our affordable housing and a little bit more money to rehab our community facilities. in the black grant program, we also received a little more money for our home funding. that's the dollars that allow us to build new construction for our affordable housing. our emergency solutions grants program was renewed at about the same amount, and our hopwa program, h

the bill's author is david chiu of san francisco. he said the legislation would force local agencies to clear the backlog with federal funds. >> there is federal funding available for local jurisdictions but in order to get that funding, a local jurisdiction needs to know how much kits they need to test. my bill requires an audit of the size of the backlog for every local agency in the state to let us know how many kits are untested. >> reporter: one advocacy group for rape victims estimates there are some 13,000 untested kits sitting on shelves in the state of california. the bill has passed the state senate and now advances to the assembly. a vote could happen in the assembly as early as next week. >> alyana gomez in the newsroom, thank you. >>> the trump administration announced today that it would impose tariffs on aluminum and steel from canada, mexico and the european union. the eu said it would retaliate with tariffs on a number of u.s. products. canadian prime minister justin trudeau called the tariffs totally unacceptable. m
