supervisor hainey. >> thank you. >> thank you. this would not have happened the way you've gone to the community and engaged them with respect and humility and it's an honour to be a part of this process is a part of your staff in my first nine months of office. >> for everyone that works in our city, the tenders loin, this is an issue of human rights and people in our city who are in need, who are suffering and sometimes quietly. this is a huge step to make sure that people have care to access and treatment and that we actuallyize mental health as a human right and create a model that should be replicated across our country. san francisco has the capacity to do that. before i go into a couple of things, i do want to make one thing clear that i think is important. this is the people's house here in city hall and we want you all here. you all -- this place belongs to you and it is important that you feel safe and that this place is accessible to you. so i think were some things that happened out in the hallway in terms of people we

, my staff and supervisor hainey's staff to bring us where we are today. i especially want to thank the workers at the behavioral health centre who have fought is hard for their health patients and for jennifer who lit the fire under all of under the all of ue issue because we wouldn't have known about this to let us know what was happening. i also want to give a special shout-out to amy wong, connie chung, and the er nurses and julie muleter, to the conservatives, including michelle giordina, the profit providers, sarah short, roma guy and to staff lisa merowski who came out to support the worker's. thank you to the residents and families for being so courageous in telling stories. marcus housman, donna mateer and judith klein who have made all of the difference in the world getting us where we are today. i want to thank the amazing leaders in local 21, especially vivian aruyo, deborah gorval, jason klum and, of course, tim kavaloni for being there with us to the beginning is to the mayor and her staff, andrew powers, and rod simmons for coming together t

one thing that i can clarify -- >> hold up, supervisor hainey. it does violate the board's rules to have signs up, so maybe we can recess, i guess. >> that's your choice. >> we'll take a five-minute recess. >> we will have this chamber be a place where presenters can make a presentation and where members of the board can deliberate. we ask that folks sit down, if you could. great. so where were we? supervisor h araine? >> y? >> in terms of the third option that was announced yesterday, do you have -- cap you provid -- ca sense of what that will involve and what the process is around that? i mean, if we're talking about a new facility that is unclear what would be opening in 2030, what will happen between now and then? >> my understanding is if the hall of justice is closed and the count is where it is now, that we'll have to have some place for people go. >> will you make that decision? what role will we have? >> a contract would come your way to approve. >> part of what i was hoping to have is more of an in-depth discussion of what the immediate

i feel like i need to start with an apology to supervisor hainey. i didn't want to single him out that sfpa has caused and i hope you accept my deepest apologies. we're going to come in numbers more and more. you're going to delay us and we'll delay you. if you look around at the cab drivers, how fortunate are we, first of all, as born and raised in san francisco and being white, and being involved, how lucky are we? if you look at the percentages of the cab drivers, they aren't from here. they came here with dreams and hopes and worked very hard for dreams and hopes. and what do we do? we back them in a corner and we say, this is your only chance at your dream. the dream has now failed didn't we come here every week and we get the same results. nothing. i understand that this is not an easy situation. but i come here and i waste my time and money. we got here at 2:00 and staged a peaceful protest and i want to thank all of the of th drivers t did come. i'm not here to scold anybody. i'm not here to say you're wrong. it is not an easy situation and

. >> supervisor hainey. >> i'll let you finish. >> number of clients turned away are for not meeting medical necessity over a month is maybe three and fairly rare and number of clients in that same month who were not accepted due to level of risk having to do with a severe medical issue that they could not be managed in a nonmedical facility or a mental health issue that was they were at such risk they had multiple and recent suicide attempts and were not quite stable and in the past month was two. so just if you're curious or interested, these are the drug use patterns in our treatment programme this past year and remember that some clients identify more than one drug, so it's not -- some use both drugs. you may wonder why is opioids 30% and why were martin's numbers such a larger number. the numbers that the county has accounts for all of the people in the opioid treatment programmes and the narcotic treatment programmes. a lot of people who use opioids. nothis is interesting to me because the number of people who come to us for alcohol is way up over the years. 20 years ago this w
