what are you seeing from your clientele? >> i think they understand, marketsn general go up and down. you have to be a long term investor. we add money to each account as we earn our money and put it aside, put it into the 401(k) or whatever it may be. and over three, four, five-year periods, these little movements don't mean anything. you look back and go oh, that's great. i bought it at x and now it's x plus two, whatever it might be. so i think people understand the volatility of the markets. maria: does the growth come organically in the next five years or more acquisitions? >> we are not much of an acquirer of other companies. we've been much more about natural growth. and we open up nearly a million accounts a year. it's pretty incredible and we're at a very fast pace right now. it's so fulfilling to me, as the founder of the company, to see the acceptance and see the number of people, new people, not just -- new to investing actually, some of the younger people coming in. i really enjoy seeing that also. >>> more of m

but it is easy, i think, in a sense for us because we're already involved with the clientele. >> thank you. >> first of all, i want to thank you, shireen for that explanation. my concern is that we're getting ready to sign off on a $15 million contract for five years and it just raises a lot of flags for me. particularly because it was sole-sourced and i don't have any information before me regarding the monitoring or the assessment from d.p.h. now assuming that all of that is well, it says, ok, we should probably entertain this. but it gives me great pause when we have such a large amount for one contract going out, under sole source, for five years. and i just need to say that for the record. >> i share commissioner lang's concerns. and of another concern, we'ves been reading a great deal about the ongoing shortage of skilled nursing facilities in san francisco. and we have a five-year contract. and one of the requirement requirements -- requirements for this person to be eligible is they be a resident of san francisco. if they are in a skilled nursing facility outside of the city, w

clients last year alone unduplicated and we had about 22,400 independent providers serving that clientel. on average, clients get 98 hours a month, which on the private market if they had to pay for that it would be almost $3,000 a month. it's a really great benefit for those people who need it. i wanted to talk about integrated intake in referral. in 2016, with the support of mayor lee, we were able to open up our dos benefits and resource hub at the corner of goff and otus and we wanted to help streamline the intake process for people who need our services and make it easier for them to find us. we constantly are up against people not knowing where to find senior services or services with people with disabilities and we wanted it to be our hub for those services. what we have are people can access home delivered meals, they can come in and sign up for those and they can call in and do it online. they can also make reports of abuse to adult protective services and they can get support of services and also we co located our county veteran service office there. so, last year we had about
