city. but generally, this city has an overall approach toward violence. and there's also a specific approach that we're using just for this summer's. we have a different approach for the summertime because we have so many youth on the street and at that is an important component of how we address the many activities going on. like the midnight basketball program, which is the henderson league working with all of the huge from the neighborhoods -- >> [unintelligible] >> the midnight basketball is knocked an omi, but many of the kids come to purchase a page from the omi. also, the mayor's big push was to get as many kids as possible jobs during the summer. that is a big thing that that city should be proud of, the initiative to try to get 5000 kids with jobs this summer and not just hanging out on the streets. supervisor avalos: do we know how many of our from the omi neighborhood? >> the mayor was just speaking about it yesterday. i do not know how many from omi, but the number he was able to secure was 5000 two. i do not have a breakdown notomi but i will

i am curious as to whether we can put that all in one place. >> generally, supervisor -- the city and minister and director of economic work force may have other thoughts they may want to share. supervisor kim: maybe i could put that question out there. i know both departments are presenting any way. for me, i would rather fund just one rather than both. i think i would just put that out there and we can come back to that later. >> great. in general, the vast majority of work related to implementing the economic development activities is and the office of economic and workforce development. moving on to the work that the agency previously did in the bayview, the city is continuing that work, including along the third street corridor. we are including $4.7 million in the mayor's budget over the next two years, including significant capital for southeast health center facility planning, sf shine tenant improvements, community ambassadors, a real- estate project pound center, as well as neighborhood community engagement. there are other projects that were previously -- there are some pro
