thank you. >> supervisor safayi. >> thank you, supervisor hainey. i spoke before when we honoured sharon's life commitment but i wanted to say a few more words today. i couldn't pass on the opportunity. shay ron was onsharon was one ot people i met in san francisco at the housing authority on my first day of work. she zeroed in on me and said, you're going to be my mentee. laugh. [ laughter ] >> and she was right and she took me around for two years talking to me about the housing authority, about the politics of the city, about how you get elected as mayor. she told me about her work that she did in public housing, getting people registered to vote and helping to elect mayor willie brown and for awhile, i would think that sharon was an exaggerator. i did. i really did. but i came to realize she wasn't expert rating abouexaggerating . she was involved in so many aspects of so many people's lives and she was telling the truth and used that truth in such a way to make positive change. the work that i was able to do with her was we built the first reco

. >> for our last commendation, supervisor hainey. >> thank you, president. colleagues i'm honoured to stand here today, continuing the beautiful commendations by all of you at our last board meeting to offer a post commendation, shire ron hewitt. i wanted to ask for many of those here to for sharon, can yu please stand? thank you for being here. i appreciate it. so there are many things that we could say about sharon. she was known to many of us as san francisco's own grandmother for social change. she was the cofounder of the tenderer loin people's congress and the founder and executive director of the community leadership came and emergency response project, which offered peer to peer empowerment and civic engagement programmes for victims of violence. she's had an impact on every neighborhood in our city from the bayview where she did most of her early work to ingleside, to the western addition and she stood up against violence, against guns and against hate and for diversity, love and peace. she was a quintessential peace-healer and maker and if she knew

. >> thank you, supervisor hainey for honouring her. i knew sharon years ago and she was very involved in the western edition. when i was an aide and there was a lot of violence, ten, 12 years ago, sharon would give me that call and i actually learned to take it because if you didn't, she would call you over and over and the next morning, she would be really pissed at you. i don't care if it was 10:30, 11, i had a hard day, i would take her call and listen to her. and there was no excuse. you had to step up and do what you needed to do. if you made excuses, that would make her mad. so i learned very quickly never to make excuses, say yes, miss hewitt and she kept you accountable, as supervisor had said but she was with you when you were going through the hard times, especially when it was so sad with families and the community that was experiencing violence and all kinds of things making the community to move forward. so thank you very much for honouring her. i'm happy the board of supervisors is houring her because she is truly a gem i

matt hainey is my name and i sleep homeless people all of the time and they are my neighbors, too. they are your neighbors, they are supervisor constituents and your constituents, as a port commission as people who live in san francisco. so we need to -- sanfrancisco needs to do more to help these people. i'm not a native san francisco person and i navigated here from europe and it's difficult to explain to my name where there's people living on the street when this country is supposed to be richer than the one i came from. we need to build these two hundred beds on the embarcadaro. i would say we won't run out of need any time soon. there's thousands of people that need 200 beds. i'm saddened there' there's a hg crisis. my office is two blocks from the proposed lot. so i see the unhoused folks around here and i would much rather we house and serve them than to leave them outside which seems obvious. i want to remind those of us worried about safety that homeless folks causing violence is a myth. they are often the victims rather than perpetrators. so remember the humanity of the p
