the collaborative have helped me and my family. they're still continuously helping me and my family. and the resources here, if a lot of other people knew about it, they would feel the same way i do. at far southeast family strengthening collaborative, we're here as a family and we treat you as a family when you come in. if your heart is there, you're willing to help the families, i think we can make a great impact in the ward 8 community. erica, talk a little bit about what you do and how families can access your services. so what i do is i am a family support specialist and what my program does is we provide peer engagement workers. we're all in recovery ourselves and we go out to the family and we talk with the mother and we really-we get on her level and we assess her needs and what the family needs and what we can do to help them continue in their recovery and we really work on making sure that they have access to all of the resources in the community. and on top of that, we do our best to coordinate care with all their other

this is where collaboration needs to take hold. it has now become a cliche, to say that we cannot rest on our way out of this problem. i no longer want to hear those words. this is not to give the law- enforcement a short shrift. i have had an impact on my husband's life, some of the unwanted. but he has had an impact on mind. i have done extensive work with law enforcement, with the lapd and the los angeles county sheriff's. i am here to tell you that crime has been driven down in los angeles because of their efforts, but not only because of their efforts. so what does the collaboration look like. i want you to keep some ideas in mind. there is no first among equals. what we learned in los angeles was that oppression alone was not the answer. it did not work. there were record highs in gang violence in 2005. i want to tell you what has happened between 2005 and 2012. number one, the grass roots -- the disorganize, fragmented, passionate grass roots must be part of this. the community members who go to county supervisors meetings,

anyway, these grade standards are things we work in collaboration with the industry.we are always anxious for industries to come up with innovations in the standards that will help oversee. that is a partnership, one of 's, we areschle's p always work a lot. >> i would just add that in order for partnerships to work, there has to be a constructive conversation. unfortunately, all too often, folks will be encouraging conflict instead of collaboration. and so, yesterday i had a great conversation with leaders in the organic world who were basically making the case that organics are different than general commodities. and because they are different, the systems that we have at usda where we tried to apply to insurance, for example, or regulatory systems, may not recognize the uniqueness of organics, and we really need to be thinking differently and creating different structures and systems. it was a very constructive conversation because folks came to the table with -- this is a problem for us, and we are not complaining about it but pointing out this is a problem, and w

that this collaboration is critical for developing life science research today. we have taken one more step recently in trying to expand our interaction with mission bay by opening up an incubator space for companies and sort of standing on the shoulders of giants of qb three and recognize thating this is a great opportunity to collaborate and hopefully we can support them and in turn become part of the mission bay community. i talk about the mission bay and you hear me using the term community, we do have a community here. and i think that maybe it was either luck or great vision from the people that put this idea in to play that they created an area where have amazing proximity and, they stay true to the ten-minute walk from my office, within ten minutes, i can be at any other scientist's office here in mission bay, hopefully having the discussion about another project and another great collaboration that we can have for another therapy. so i would like to close out by just congratulations ucsf on what they have done over the last ten years and how they have be

when we open our data, when we suggest to departments that they can work in collaboration, when we open up and establish within our city contracts that the companies that do service for us do not own the data that they generate from us, that they will have a contractual obligation to share that with the city so that we can mine that to the rest of the city, that's advance of opportunities for everybody. i know at the heart of sharing this data, there is going to be a lot more jo

process with the national institutes of standards and technology leading and collaborative process to develop the framework and then the department of homeland security will set up a voluntary program to encourage adoption of that framework. at the same time the primary regulators in the federal government will look at their regulations and requirements into system relative to that framework that it has developed. and if they believe that their regulations and requirements are not sufficient in that area, then they could in theory and pose new regulations or executive actions that would require infrastructure to be brought up to that level. but i think for the most part you will find will be a voluntary process for a company to participate. >> host:participate. >> host: there are some deadlines in this executive order, 120 days, 240 days etc.. will congress have a role in developing this cybersecurity package? >> guest: for the executive order that by definition it is driven from the executive branch side. from our perspective, the executive order as a down payment on legislation that

and this collaboration with st. anthony's. the coming together of two forces of such magnitude, of such commitment, of such deep commitment, of such values that you know that the outcome is going to be -- not only benefit the people who are here, but also be a model for others. this is a collaboration, as has been said between mercy housing and st. anthony's and was example was non-profits come together for the greater good. with their leadership and their being models, producing results of national significance, they, most of them have been able to to impact public policy and i know the mayor is right on the forefront of all of this. and thank you for your great leadership, mayor lee. [ applause ] and you know that we just had a little session with the cliffs, going over the cliff, not going over the cliff. but one of the things that we were determined to protect in that debate was the new markets tax credit, something that has benefited some of these kinds of initiatives throughout the country. so whether it was long ago and

so this is just one of many things that we are doing that is part of the collaboration. part of the monthly meetings that we have with the vendors and the daily interaction that we have with them and the inspector has. it absolutely makes me so happy when i see one of the inspecters get their heads together with any one of the vendor and they are talking and collaborating and the true spirit of what this program was actually meant to do and so with that i am going to stop and introduce jamie and all of the people here so they can tell you more about what they have been doing. >> thank you and good morning, commissioners, the code enforcement out reach program was created in 1996 by the building inspection commission. in order to bring our housing services to san francisco ans living in substan ard living conditions. over the last 17 years, this program has you ever covered the worst, more horrifying substandard conditions found in the city for this period of time. and it has worked together with housing inspection services to abait and alleviate those conditions for the

so, collaborative consumption is something we truly believe in and having spent a couple of years working with the likes of jane, brian, tina lee and a bunch of other people who have been sort of working on this open data problem, it's been sort of exciting to sort of see it come to fruition today and see sort of the progress that they've made. so, for me this is sort of -- it's been fun to sort of watch this team of people come together and do what they do and make san francisco a 21st century city. so, you know, it's an honor to welcome the mayor back to the hatchery, the new hatchery. we invite you, supervisor chiu, to our monthly infamous happy hours where bourbon and branch caters to meet with our tenants. it's an honor to have you guys here. enjoy the day and it's an honor to welcome jane back to the hatchery.

because we and the collaborative need sometimes assistance in dealing with issues and so that has been looked into as far as the program is concerned. i'm also representing other parts of the city as well as the communities that are currently represented. and so it is a big chunk of the housing budget rate now. and the collaboratives and we do send the facts, the program needs to grow as the need grows as you can see from the situations like turk. what will help is the housing to act in the enforcement out reach program. the announcement for the housing inspect ors went out on friday and we are four or five people down because that will help because i could put more inspecters in the north east part of the city that traditionally has more ha bitbility types of issues to work more closely with. the contractors, both. and those are some of the things that we are looking at as far as making the program more robust. >> is there any program currently for assisting the building owners in being more proactive on these repairs? and i think that the owner of one of those buildings said this the
