there weren't really any real funding structures available at that time, so we started out in civic centre we always wanted to find our way back. the temporary navigation center at south van ness and around 22 nd street allowed us to start a small pilot program over there. leadership told us that we may get an impact on the area in cleanliness and community. those who have been vehemently opposed to the center became even more angrier when it was taken down. folks at the north end of the mission saw what was going on and eric who you will hear from in a few minutes, saw our impact , he asked us what we can do closer for 16th and mission with $5,000. it wasn't much, but the funding and the excitement generated by him and the program helped us hold out until the end of the fiscal year. when the team and supervisor ronen's office give us funding to expand throughout the mission [applause] >> our team in the mission has grown from a tiny four person team, all the way to a 30 member cohort that works daily to clean the area stretching from division street, down to 24th street. and from valencia

today's hearing is about our city's response to open-aired drug dealing in the tenderloin civic centreere are three things i hope to accomplish in this hearing. the first is to seek clarity and answers from city departments on what specifically they are doing to address the challenge of wide-spread and endemic drug dealing and societal impacts concentrated largely on our city's downtown neighborhoods. how are resources currently deployed, what is working and what is not and how we are coordinating across departments to ensure a comprehensive strategy. developing a city-wide strategy and understanding why we are failing to significantly alter the status quo is critical. i get asked, what is the city doing about the very visible and problem of drug dealing and drug use? on on hyde street, along 6th, market street, across wide swaths of my district there are dozens of people selling drugs at any given hour, including around our few parks and schools in the neighborhood. some of us receive updates from the police department who will be here about their strategies in particular areas and wi
