she doesn't continue to meet the criteria for conservatorship. throughout this time, she would receive intensive wraparound services, and potential treatment plan for some be like melanie might include an initial placement at the healing centre, and then having the opportunity to have uninterrupted care where she is able to stabilize and we can have conversations regarding harm reduction, and engage her in motivational interviewing. should then be able to transition to a program, followed by a co-op, all the while working with an intensive case manager, potentially through citywide, who also provides peer-based services, and ultimately, when she is clinically ready, being placed in permanent supportive housing. >> before we go on, how will that change -- can i go through questions about how it would work under the current law? so first of all, the case manager that has been working with melanie already, how many clients does that case manager serve? >> through assisted outpatient treatment, the ratio is 1-10 clients. >> so melanie's case manager

and you are able to be successful in conservatorship? and these are people that are involuntarily conserved, usually it just seems like such an insane workload. >> we have really good clinicians on our staff. i think, as i said, this is a multi- departmental approach. we are working very closely with people in the department of public health as well, and if somebody emplacement, they are being worked with there. i think when we start thinking about, you know, supporting people in this new environment, then we need to really make sure that we are staffed up, so, you know, what we want to do, and what we are already starting to work on is really looking at the outcomes of conservatorship, and that will help us determine what the staffing ratio should look like. >> i am also really confused because during all the hearings that we had on conservatorship, we were told the ratio is 17-1. >> i'm not sure what that ratio is. for us, it is about 45. >> are there different types of caseworkers? >> so they are different things. i think what you hea

and that is two housing conservatorship positions. if you followed the housing conservatorship conversation at the board, there was an ordinance passed yesterday to adopt the application of sb-1045 into city policy, which means that we will be developing a new program called housing conservatorship which will broaden the powers of the conservator to be able to serve people with substance abuse as well as severe mental illness. so, it is the beginning of probably some changes. there is another bill coming down the pike probably that we assume will add to the conservator's powers next year. we really needed those positions in order to respond to the need that we think we're going to get and to really be able to do outreach about conservatorship and respond to questions. and then in addition to that, there's 23,000 for ongoing exercise programs for seniors in cole valley at sunset heights. $200,000 ongoing for mayor staffing needs which is really to create a position for -- focused on aging and disability within the mayor's administratio

it was that risk that put them into conservatorship. and i think the collaborator has made clear, it's because of that he wants to make sure that taxpayers are protected. and it's largely the capital rules that decide how well taxpayers are protected. but those capital rules, again -- it's two-thirds of the g fees, but it's distributed very much more heavily to lower wealth-working families. so they pay for that rent on the capital for catastrophic risk, up to ten times what the very top borrowers are paying for it. and so when you change the costs, how much capital setaside, what rate of return, it makes a huge difference. so, for example, on a loan today -- and similar rules apply, although it's a somewhat lesser expense to the mort mortgage insurers and have larger parallel principles to them. so if you take a borrower who gets a loan at 4% today as the base note rate, for a low down payment, the mortgage insurance and the elevated g fee can add another 250 basis points of annual yield. to increase the cost of the mortgage by more th
