homelessness is a crisis in the city of san francisco. our city government needs to step up. our city, our region, our state, our country is dealing with this tragedy every single day on the streets. the roots of the epidemic are complex. there is no single solution to solve the issue. we need to pursue a wide variety of initiatives. we need to fund programs that have been proven to work. we need to be flexible to fund programs that will work. we need to measure ourselves by the success of the individuals living on our streets today. and when they get off a street and get into shelters and onto their own 2 feet and onto better lives. today, i am announcing approximately $30,000 in funding to address the homeless crisis in san francisco. first of all, i'm doubling down on the homeward bound -- bound program. this initiative helps struggling individuals with family members and loved ones. i know elements of this program may seem controversial, but we have to acknowledge the fact that it is here in san francisco where we have had a very effective program. as mayor of the city i'

the city minutes got misfiled. the detectives in this case wrote an appeal in the newspaper for people to offer information and used the city council minutes as basis for his article and when he got done, he forgot to give it back to the city and he filed it in his own file and when the case was solved, that got filed in the state archives so when letter came in 1872, there may have been people who remember the reward but they couldn't find the documentation that would authorize them to pay such a hefty size of money. when i discovered this omission three years ago, i went to my mayor and i said, why don't we pay it now. and he said, he didn't think the city was legally obligated to honor a reward from 1835, but wouldn't it be the moral and diplomatic thing to do? and that leads us up to the real event today, the reward from germany. i am going to turn it over to mr. bombergo, and this is the moment to watch history being made because i think we are about to break a world record.
