our stepped up efforts we will end chronic homelessness for veterans (clapping.) we must to do more now is the time to take up a complicate challenge one that i and my administration and board of supervisors are willing to take up this is ending family homelessness with a strong partnership between the city and community and philanthropy i know we can rise to the change of ending homelessness speaking of families let's remember that seniors are an important part of our growing city we need to make sure we're serving this growing population my budget includes $7.4 million of new investments to have the meals wait list to make sure that people live in their homes longer and expand the senior programs those represent a down payment on the true need that is why i've asked my staff to work together with the plants of the dignity fund a fund that is a program that is modeled after our very successful transportation task force that lets us wish tote to develop a road map. the needs in the community and the recommendations for sustainable funding and at the same time, we

the homeless prenailtal program serves poor z homeless families in san francisco and we have been doing it for 26 years. the focus is pregnant mothers and children 0-5. our mission is end the cycle of childhood poverty and that a tall order in san francisco when we have so many families that are homeless i can't afford to provide a place for their children to sleep at night. not to mention to feed them or keep them in school. i just would like to invite some of the supervisors have been to had homeless prenatal program and there is no substitute to seeing the program in action. congressman nancy pelosi has been twice and she said he are a model for the nation. we have a staff of 80, more than half former clients. we invest in the people we sunch and welcome any of you to knh and see what we do and learn how you can really make a dif wrns and that we are doing the best we can but without housing it is tough and without jubs it is tougher and want to encourage you to think about the entire city and not just your districts. thank you for your time >> thank you very much. are there any memb

. >> talk about the way of the affordable housing crisis that's fueled the city's homeless crisis. >> well, you know, basically, it's very simple. if you cannot afford a place to live and you're in this city and you lose your unit for one reason or the other, loss of job, you can't pay the escalating costs, you can become homeless. and i think that is what -- that is what led to the rise in the number of families and that's really what has finally gotten the attention of the public. that we have -- it's no longer, you know, the single veteran, you know, male who's just wander wandering the streets. it's now the families. mom, particularly, our young women with babies and that's the highest increase. >> and you have said that the pool is bigger, that's part of the reason, the pool of people who need affordable housing has expanded. >> well, i think that there's some contributing issues on homelessness, for example. d.c. is very compassionate with its shelter policies. we have policies that say you must house during both hyper and hypothermia. there are people who come from other jurisd

and many of them through the jails will be homeless instead of spending the $240 million coalitionsould agree that supporting more affordable housing and in support of housing for those who have been incarcerated is much more important and meaningful than keeping them in the jails. >> hi good afternoon. i'm gesturing the director of freedom for homeless in thinking about this issue i'm drawn back to one of the kids preschool teachers told me about child behavior and sometimes a child with special needs their behavior is like a train heading for a brick wall and that it is really hard train to stop that really is what we can do is turn the train and try to get the train to avoid hitting the wall i think about this this is a construction project that has a lot of support by policymakers increased a lot of money and you'll this stuff behind that we start on something and heads towards it ever it has no common sense we have this tremendous opportunity to turn this train we're concerned about the folks with seriousness and sauls we're deeply concerned with the homeless people that are lo

providing rereef for those currently homeless this bill tissue relief for those currently homeless. this bill achieves those bames elevating a position at h.u.d. aimed specifically at coordinating efforts to ensure that all federal agencies working to house our homeless veterans are working together at maximum capacity this position will work closely with the h.u.d. secretary to achieve these outcomes. the homes for heroes act will also ensure the long-term coordination of services for homeless veterans by requiring h.u.d. to submit a comprehensive annual report to congress on the housing needs of homeless veterans. this bill will help ensure that we continue to make progress on the goal of ending veterans' homelessness so we can ensure that every veteran has a roof over their head. recent efforts to house our homeless veterans have seen bipartisan support in both the house and senate and -- in the form of supporting robust funding for the h.u.d. veterans affairs supportive housing programs. also known as h.u.d. vash. we have an obligation here in congress to protect and provide for

homeless people hang out. question is when someone makes it, you know, more than just hanging out and it messes it up for everyone else. so, we have to make sure as a city that we deal with those things appropriately, but we also offer alternatives so that we're not just pushing the homeless issue from one place to the next. but we're actually making sure we're taking care of people and offering them alternatives. so, it's going to be a challenging issue and an ongoing issue and one that i'm committed to working with the mayor's office to help address and manage. >> what are your thoughts on the city's economic development? do you think we're on the right track? >> i think we're on the right track, but i think that unfortunately it allows the rich to get richer and it doesn't have a place for the middle class and the poor in our city. and i think that part of what we have to do as a city when people are interested in economic development opportunities in our city, they need to be a part of our city. and it's n

it's down 40% for chronic homeless. this is because of the president's strong support his focus, and the funding that we've received. funding is important for supportive services for permanent and transitional housing, for prevention and treatment, for employment and job training. since 2008, funding programs benefiting veterans homelessness have increased 170s from $2.4 billion in 2008 to $6.5 billion in 2015. but it's about a lot more than just money. we have to know how to spend that money. well, we've learned what works and, importantly, very importantly, we have learned what doesn't work. we settled on evidence-based strategies. and you see them here on this chart. housing first. housing first. what a beautiful strategy. i mean, it recognizes the hierarchy of needs. we have to get the lowest level needle out of the way first so we can work on the other needs of the veteran. if we don't get the veteran under a roof, there's no way we can work on their treatment. so temporary housing is the most important thing to do

if too many youth who are homeless or at risk of being homeless in the upper market area. every year that is a priority for me to support services for those youth and we've done so again. i am also thrilled that we were able through this budget, to implement several recommendations of the lgbt aging force. we went passing legislation as recommended by the task force, but their budget needs as well. we are able to secure funding in the budget for lgbt seniors at risk of isolation and to finally start addressing the specific needs of lgbt seniors suffering from dementia. we also were able to find funding to complete the funding for the future no valley town square. this project will proceed up later this year and i look forward to seeing everyone at the opening next year. finally, colleagues, i want to note, we talked about this in more detail with respect to item number four, we are creating a code enforcement reserve fund at the department of building inspections. we do not do nearly enough code enforcement and the city with respect for building code and housing could. too
