50% of homeless people in san francisco became homeless under the age of 25. that is why it is especially important we invest in our young leaders. if we want real solutions, it is critical to get their input from their lived experience to inform our policy and practice. this is why leadership bodies like the youth advisory board to work. they get marginalized and disconnected youth into productive work with their peers and community wide problem-solving. engaged youth are connected youth. leadership skills like life skills in organizing and collaborating end goal setting, we need this to happen for our young people to become the great civic leaders of our future. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: where your youth programs cut by d. thank you f.? >> we did -- none of us received it. >> we have not in the past. >> supervisor cohen: thank yo you. >> good afternoon supervisors. thank you for the opportunity to speak. i'm a member of api council. as you heard before, 40 pick -- 42% live in poverty. a third are seniors. they serve over 45,000 seniors a year. we are r

we are looking at houses for the homeless. if you don't have a place to lay your head, it is hard for us to treat you, it is hard for you to wrap your head around the problem you are facing. in every solution that we look for, which is why we created the we haveation centers, to stabilize people but connect them to the resources needed. almost every case of drug addiction, you will find many of those cases where people need housing. we are dedicating 24/7, every housing project inc. developed -- being developed housing for we have toally ill, make sure part of it goes to those suffering from drug addiction. we can't treat them if we can't house them. dr. wen: thank you for bringing up the issue of flexibility. speaking about the need for resources. i want to turn to mrs. collier and dr. jones. long-term federal funding for addiction treatment and related services like housing, would they help your organizations to better serve clients in the community? for sponsoring the care act. absolutely. long-term funding for substance ab

in 2017, they found 7,409 homeless individuals in san francisco. 31% were chronically homeless and 71% lacked shelter, however it costs more not to address this. each chronically homeless person who isn't in supportive housing costs taxpayers $81,000 each year. if these individuals were in supportive housing it would only cost 20,000 perperson peryear. this proves it is more ethically and financially responsible to commit them to housing. there's a strong causal relationship between homelessness, drug use and traumatic childhood experiences. i would also like to advocate for more prechbstive measures, such as family and child services, foster and family support services. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. my name is francis colins, and i want to reiterate what the last speaker says. it costs more not to address the homelessness issue. it costs taxpayers 80,000 a year for every chronically homeless person in jail expenses and other band-aid solutions. it's ethically and physically more responsible to go towards supportive housing, which would only cost 20,00

it gives a homeless person some help. so pick up the good fight to save lives and help people in the community and people like m me. >> wraparound services. >> there are so many areas where people need help. mental health issues substance abuse, users have no help it is very important we have to nip it in the bud. it is like a major problem. we are at war we need weapons and the soldiers and the army. we really want to do something to make a difference. >> good morning everybody. i would say baltimore city suffers from the disease of addiction my biggest challenges not having insurance if you can't get the treatments that you really need it wasn't until i came to healthcare for the homeless that was a blessing for me because i got what i needed. i needed everything from mental health and health treatment. and today i have a lot of hope and i don't have to use anymore. i feel like i need to hold somebody else up that is struggling and i try to help those into coming out of the cold. everything he talked about those service

we must also address the core roots of the issue of homelessness. we must offer help to those on our streets struggling with addiction, mental illness and other behavioral health challenges. last month, i announced the creation of a new street medicine street which will deliver opioid treatments directly to people living on our streets. this dedicated unit under the direction of dr. barry zevin will offer medication to people living on our streets. it is a first in the nation program, and it will produce results here in san francisco. every day we are hearing more and more stories of people who have really inspired the rest of us by treating their addiction and making onto a better life. and for those -- for those that are on our streets that cannot help themselves with buprenorphrine, we have an obligation to step in and offer assistance. we are investing in conserveatorship beds to those suffering from mental illnesses and living on our streets. earlier this year, i announced the opening of san francisco conserveatorship beds. and we will continue

many have a history of homeless homelessness. and we know again that the best solution is it to prevent homelessness in the first place. one of the care providers that support one of the ones that will receive funding as we said before is victoria manor which we are here today, located in district 5, which is now represented by supervisor brown. this place has 90 beds and it serves 26 clients for the department of public health. the facilities like these have been under strain as i said in terms of lack of funding and the city currently spends $2.5 million through the department of public health to provide supplemental funding to close the spending gap. and i want to, again, i appreciate barbara g garcia for identifying where the needs are and making sure that we are using city resources in the most efficient way to support this community. but this is a complex issue which requires a holistic approach to look at now and the financial challenges of the future. and this additional funding is a down payment and demonstrates our comm
