we know that children who are homeless are more likely -- five times to be more likely to be homeless as adults. we've seen what it means for children to be able to complete their homework, having a place to call home, calling in sick regularly, having a place to shower. i have to tell you one of the most heartbreaking stories that i heard from some of our young mothers is actually having to bathe their children in a sink at their local church because they have nowhere else to take their children before they get ready for school. and compass family services has been at the forefront of ensuring that we are providing these critical services to families to so many of our clients that need it the most. in order to provide those services, it's critical to have a home and a space to walk into. so i'm so excited that compass family services will be opening here in this district, and i really want to recognize the leadership of the board chair, chris wagner, and of course to our wonderful executive director, erica kisch, who's been running this century old organization so critically in san f

resources to prevent and address child homelessness. research and data including individual surveys of homeless youth indicate that it has lasting impact on a child's physical, emotional and academic development. they may suffer trauma, anxiety, shame, withdrawal whereas it is a holistic measure that transforms the crisis by a carefully crafted road map. this would generate $300 million, by creating a half percent tax. whereas at least 50% of the fund must going to housing. this would pay for construction, rehab and subsidies for 4,000 housing units. it would house over a thousand families and 800 youth. 25% of the funds is required to go to families and 20% to youth. this would ensure 7 thoup thousand households get legal assistance, permanent or temporary subsidies to stay in their housing or other forms of help they need to stay housed such as help with electrical or other bills. whereas at most 10% of $30 million used for 1075 new shelter beds, navigation center beds, as as well as help keep our streets clean. there be it resolved t

homeless outreach team. we have the department of public-health and now we have a full-time department of public-health worker at hsoc coordinating individuals as we bring them names. they're working to get people drug treatment and mental illness treatment, et cetera. the police department, the chief's vision is that the sfpd lead the effort at the healthy streets operation center. we're not the lead to deal with homelessness. we're the lead to be organized to get everyone together and to facilitate the daily meetings, things of that nature. public works for the clean up. the controllers' office is involved because they are measuring success. what is success and what are your goals and are you meeting your goals and what are the statistics and we have great success revamping 311 and they have been great in hosting us and both director cronnenburg and carole devoting staff to help us work together. in terms of 311, i just want to mention a couple of things. number one is there are 200 to 250 calls a day that

homeless people do not need homeless programs. homeless people need a place to live just like you do. it's disgusting. homeless is big business for people who run the homeless programs like jeff kaczynski. how many hundreds of thousands are you paying him to oversee the programs moving homeless from one location of the city, back and forth and forth and back. when is it going to stop? do like you are doing the homeless teachers. provide a fund and apartment building complex for them to live. now, you have a modular proposal, 100 million and i object to that because those are overseas cargo ship containers, that 100 million that's proposed for that, combined with the amount of money you ask for here today is more than enough to start housing people that's out in the street. in fact, i demonstrated one time where [bleep] kaczynski, how would you house the 8,000 people and he said it would take a million dollars to house 1,000 homeless people. you take just a million dollars from the $217 billion that you -- free money from twitter a

we are working together to help address this homeless crisis. many of you know my top priority as mayor is to make sure that we're moving our homeless population out of tents, off the streets and into permanent housing. navigation centers go beyond the traditional shelters by allowing individuals to bring their partners, their pets, their belongings with them, which are often barriers to getting into our shelters. once they are there, the centers provide the care and services that people need. health care. services around social workers and possibly, hopefully permanent housing. this particular navigation center will serve up to 125 individuals at a time. the opening today is the result, as i said, of a collaborative effort and there are a number of difference people who made this possible. and it is a reflection of what we can accomplish when we work together for a common goal. phil tang helped to secure $10 million last year in the state budget to help with two navigation centers in san francisco. [applause] [cheering] and that is not all he d

so if you compare homeless to the other cases, homeless cases are more likely to be women, transwomen african americans, people who inject drugs, including m.s.m. injectors, and while there's no significant differences in age between these two groups, i do think it's interesting to note that about 34% of the homeless cases are diagnosed with h.i.v. before the age of 30, so they're being diagnosed very young. and this is my final slide. so this shows time from h.i.v. diagnosis to viral suppression between the homeless population and the half. so the time to viral suppression is shown in red. what you can see for each year from 2013 to 2016, it takes longer for somebody who is homeless to reach viral suppression. but as we go over time, the time for both groups is getting shorter. by 2016, the time for both groups has been cut in half, and the difference for the two groups is getting closer. there's not that big of a gap. so i can pause here now before i turn it over for the next part and take questions, if you'd like. >> are there any questions at this point? okay. do we have public co

you've seen also that the word viral suppression rates are in people who are homeless, and homelessness is also a substantial contributor to death among people living with h. h.i.v., so i'm going to show you two pieces of data. this is from an innovative analysis done of patients being seen at ward 86, in which if you go from left to right on your screen, from most stably housed, renting and owning, to being in a rehabilitation program, being in an s.r.o., hotel, couch surfing or staying with friends, shelters, and living in the streets or being outdoors, the proportion, the bars show the proportion of people who are virally suppressed. you can see as you become more marginally progressively housed, your viral suppression goes down, and the average viral load, that red line, goes up. we know that having a higher viral load is bad for the individual in terms of their health and bad for the risk of transmitting to others, so we know that homelessness is a major driver of new transmissions, and that we need to get to zero, to get to zero h.i.v. infections and zero h.i.v. associates deaths,

our homelessness. we've already raised more than $37 million for our homeless families. now we're continuing the fight into homeless individuals, and we know that we need to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to directly address the homeless individuals' problems. it's our number one issue in our city. we're working on making san francisco a stronger city, a stronger city with strong public schools. a strong city by working with our homelessness, a strong he city by cleaning up our city, and we're doing all this together. san francisco is the number one employer in san francisco, so salesforce combined with san francisco can do more together, and that's what we're here. and let's not forget, there is no strong san francisco without a strong oakland. the metaphor of the bay bridge, that we are connected, that we are all connected, and we are deeply connected to oakland. we will never forget oakland, which is why we're giving this money to the oakland schools, and why our programs extend to oakland, a
