for disabilities in a peer mentorship grant. it's to empower people with abilities and disabilities and advocate for a more equitable san francisco that celebrates all, no matter race, orientation, or ability. the arc provides educational services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. these services are responsive to the unique needs of adult learners and provide individual services to allow the process of new information, ideas, and skills. services offered by the arc include foundational competencies, like self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision making, social awareness, and relationship skills, which are all integral skills to maintain independence among adults with disabilities. the program is also made up of two components. the first component is educational and advocacy, and course offerings will include antiracist, equity and advocacy course topics. the second component is a pier mentoring program, and the program includes recruitment, training, and matching volunteer peer mentors to i

so some background on this granted. in 2012, the residents of san francisco passed proposition "a," the clean and safe neighborhood park bond, and that bond allocated $2 million to improve trails in mcclaren park, and $1 million to improve natural areas. the trail improvement allocation was intended to be leveraged for a grant funded state, local, and private funding for the four trails that were prioritized through the community process. in 2017, the department applied for an outdoor environmental education program grant to fund the rehabilitation of the interior trail within mcclaren park, and the department was awarded $250,000 in 2018. we allocated the grant funding through the fiscal year 2019/2020, and 2020/2021, 156-59. based on information that we had at that time, we believe that grants that were less than $1 million could be appropriated in through the budget process, but we later learned that the grant contract performance period, which exceeds 10 years, requires board approval. and for that reason, we are co

and again, a little bit of a concern that we are having to do another grant because in issuing the grant we don't have the position fill sod this will sort of further delay the application process. but we are looking to set the grant program so that it is distributed as quickly as possible. it will not be too complicated in terms of the application process. and rick and i will be working on what that looks like and likely at the next commission meeting, we will provide you with a report with how the funds will be distributed. and i think one of the key points that i do want to say is that there is some confusion because we did have the business assistance grant program. i know that i and rick have had conversations with the full commission about the initial program and that the way it was designed with proposition f was a very unwieldly program in terms of, one, not just in terms of it escalating obligation, financial obligation, if it were to be fully funded and our inability to modify how the grant program is to be enacted because it was created by the voters. so i do -- we can have fu

i have worked to support the department of from insecurity's grant program -- homeland security's grant program to secure facilities. are bipartisan protecting faith-based and nonprofit organization from terrorism act with chairman peters was signed into law, which authorized $75 million annually for five years for the grant program. in wake of the recent violence against religious communities i sponsored the bipartisan prey safe act with senators hassan, johnson, rounds, peters and rosen to establish a clearinghouse of faith-based entities can act as safety and security best practices available federal gap programs and training opportunities. the threats and attacks on all faith-based organizations and houses of worship must stop. in the interim i urge my colleagues to support this important bipartisan legislation to provide that critical information. i am pleased to see my former colleague in the house of representatives among witnesses today, carrie fingerhut. i appreciate his commitment, and the jewish federation of america's support of the prey safe act and the nonprofit security g

commitment to double the pell grant. which benefits students and institutions in all sectors. these proposals combined will put these programs within reach for many more students. all of that is on the access and affordability side. we also want to complement increased access with evidence-based retention strategies. the american families plan includes a $62 billion investment to create a new grant program that funds evidence-based red-brown services and student support. particularly targeting underserved students at public and nonprofit institutions. so these wraparound services can range from childcare, to until health services, faculty -- adult health services. i know the theme of today's meeting is federal and state partnerships. another area where we are leaning into a long-term partnership. we -- it would then fall to states and trips to give priority in allocating funds to underserved situations serving low-income students. they would submit an application that describes the allocation, the plan to adopt promising

in the beginning we waved a lot of fees and we tried to provide grants and loans to small businesses but it was not enough and it was challenging. so many people had to shut down and many struggled with getting access to ppp and ppp before the protection of their employees and when i think about the vibe antsy of san francisco and this pandemic set us back. we are here today you sacrifice so much it was hard but now that which beginning to reopen and that light we keep talking about is here to so those cases and and our small and it's time to reopen and folks to get back to shopping in these corridors, going to these cafes. and really enjoying this city like never. i don't know about you but now, when i go out, into the neighborhoods, when i go to my dry-cleaner, i'm like hey, sammy! it's good to see you! you with go and go to the different place us go to and people just feel good and so many businesses have closed temporarily but they've closed permanently and since the beginning of this pandemic, this city has given out about 3,000 buses over $52 million and we waved fees, we come

over 4 million idle loans have been granted in excess of $230 billion. these grants helped save businesses. these loans help save businesses. these are for the smaller of the small businesses. they are the ones who use it. these are lower interest 30 year loans. we've s had 6 million companies take small businesses take advantage of the eidl advanced program, $23 billion. these are the differences between staying afloat or going under. the gao estimated this past week that 86% of the eidl loans went to our most vulnerable small businesses, ten employees or less. so why ame i talking about it? because this bill takes away the 17 -- $13.5 billion on the eidl program just as the time this eidl program, just as the time where we have small businesses that needoa these loans. we see an increase in wildfires come hurricane season is coming. we're not through covid-19 yet, and yet they take away these funds. these are the most leveraged funds we have available for the few federal dollars we put into it we leverage much larger amounts of loans. do wey really wan

earlier i made mention of changing category call grants to states and local governments and block grants know, of course, that the grant program burden local and state governments with a massive federal regulations. ineffective targeting, wasteful administrative overhead can be eliminated by shifting the resources and decision making authority to local and state government. this will also consolidate programs which are scattered throughout the federal bureaucracy. bringing government closer to the people and saving $23.9 billion over the next five years. our program for economic renewal deals with a number of programs which are not cost effective. an example is medicaid. right now washington provides the states with unlimited matching payments for their expenditures. at the same time, we here in washington, pretty much dictate how the states are going to manage the programs. we want to put a cap on how much the federal government will contribute, but at the same time allow the states much more flexibility in managing and structuring the programs. i know from our experience in california

they have a board that oversees their grants. the other oversight will be your traditional federal oversight. also government watchdogs. data officials will also have an oversight role in these projects. host: does the federal government require grants money go to a new project? can you go to an existing project? guest: that would be something that would be part of the planning of the dedicated money process. for a project that is a massive modernization project, one i can think of is the gateway tunnel between new york and new jersey for amtrak. that will be considered a repair project. also a new project, it is a conference of dynamic project. in that regard, there will be a new project, the other aspect will be maintenance to repair that tunnel. other instances, you will have the money dedicated exclusively for bridge repairs. in other instances, let us see the infrastructure is really old. bridges that are too structurally insufficient, they will likely build a new bridge right next to it. that will take several years to do.
