and specific details in the types of housing if and when they're able to support the housing so finally you know the 10 year plan considers the housing permanent and didn't discuss whether the residents ca can transition because they don't assess it from a higher to lower level service and the city therefore needs to consider whether africa be permanent housing or some sort of transition housing lard is possible so we believe the board of supervisors should convene a working group of various city agencies or organizations and adapt a new 10 year plan on the housing those will discuss the citywide coordinated system and more expensive performance manufacturer to understand the services abatements which the auditors report will address the available of tentative housing and the projected heirs of the city's supportive housing thank you. >> thanks for your report thank you for the authorness and the power point a few questions i think that before we move on to our city's service audit report you talked about something we've been struggling where it's too too much whether we should dive int

the type of housing the data analysis states we need you think 25 percent or so very low the housing element bans that on the housing element was in the past they've rolled is over to the new one so we're working on a policy that failed this housing element needs to be redone so that the results will more match the nodes of the city and in the past it has not done so we're behind in work how's people in the did not have a hard time just applying district work. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> madam chair cowen and supervisor kim i'm john good afternoon you had a very, very profound bit of testimony from the lady a moment ago regarding the deficiencies that have been addressed in the court and still being reviewed by the court and also the fact that her statement which is a very important statement in making your decision in making the merit before you was omitted from the passage that was prepared for the public for you as supervisors for this committee hearing and the supervisors if it were to pass by this committee the packet was deficient and that is

brick house. so it's interesting that we now refer to this as bacon castle, but especially since the owner of the property during thie time o-- this time of bacon's -- was in large opposition to the rebellion. it is interesting his family would later change it to bacon 's castle. the house was sight to 70 of bacon's rebels through december of 1676. their reason for targeting arthur allan's house, occupying it and destroying most of the tobacco crops really predated september 1676. when we look at the causes of bacon's rebellion, most of them are in direct result from the relationships with the virginia indians. in january 1676, they raided 35-60 virginians, including nathaniel bacon's lower penetration 0---- lower plantation. the governor ordered for 500 men to be sent out against the india ns. it before they banded, he changed his mind, the governor did, and his band of the troops. those colonists along that western front felt that they werent'saving the folder support -- the full support from th

and the housing authority is just beginning i've got thirty mouse u thousand housing to build we're going to get to that with the housing bond this november with a complimentary you infusion of dollars we've seen time and time again help us with the city challenges but ultimately all of us who work in government can say that you work with hud and the housing authority and the in housing office and with nonprofit and proud to be san franciscans we're demonstrating how to help each other be successful i met secretary castro along agree as mayors and i'll tells you this i'm thankful to president obama who picks mayors to be cabinet secretaries wherever you met a former mayor in a position you only have to talk half as much they get it (laughter) i know that secretary castro was picked by president obama not only do we get things duplicate when he saw the challenges we were all under months and months of discussions with the staff at hud he went to work like mia any mayor and god bless him the experience from san this or that that was a smooth going forward he had to champ his staff bec

agreement between the housing authority the housing and urban development and the city that permitshe housing u housing authority to utilities the program a relatively new program in combination with other hud programs to rehab over 35 hundred units of public utilities in san francisco and sustain another thousand more unit (clapping) yes, it pretty much covers all of the public utilities showcase stock in san francisco this is why this work has taken a while the demonstration program was to provide a way for housing authority across the industry country to fund the repairs that in fact, the federal government couldn't afford to fund or was not able to fund we are at the starting line of something special in san francisco as well as for the nation we'll further demonstrate for congress and for the rest of the nation how the rental system demonstration program can benefit public utilities residents we know that hud got the caps lifted in terms of rad but the goal to prove the program and make sure increase not a scape again so the resources as they become available we'll help 9 resid

we'll be addressing that combroirlg. >> i i know that the coalition of supportive housing providers identified barriers like that h s rate and other funding and centralized intact and the other key issues and barriers they emphasis multi barriers i know that dph and other agencies are looking at this the last suggestion from i think the coalition which i'm sure will speak in the moment moving away from a one-size-fits-all to a addressing the diversity of the population i wonder. >> before we get you agree b with that we should be looking at designing services and buildings that are catered to specific populations so right now we have a mix we have seniors mixed with folks that may be able to go to work and healthy if we get better assessments to our clients the only way to drop to increase the case manager level in the buildings so be able to see the patterns to move folks to different buildings to take advantage of the scale of provisions self-sufficiency with more worker phone call or to the controllers suggestions keep the population in place but keep roving for specific service

first and the housing retention the focus because that was the single focus we staffed up in mind and we saw buildings per sites that had one case manager per one hundred units which given the outcome for the housing retention was the right radio if we're going to figure out what clients need and how to craft a service approach that meets that need it is necessary and the board recommendations we're going to need a lower case management to client radio i think talking about the roving teams to do that gets we're getting ahead of ourselves we don't necessarily know how or where to deploy the roving teams given the report suggests doing better client assessments and fourth as provider was the the city administrator figuring out what the clients needs e needs through the commission on an approach to lower the case ratios a 1 to 35 portal we're talking about single adults across the portfolio will get us to a place to get better information on clients the thinking we'll simply not drop if 35 to 1 but relook at our fingers with the lower case ratios with a set of recommendations with the s

devastating the us housing market. predatory lending and a poorly regulated financial system were at the root of the crisis. but now, housing sales in some parts of the country have picked up. >> it really started in 2010 2011 in the wake of the housing bust and the foreclosure crisis that ensued. >> there were markets that were totally devastated. >> you had an unbelievable number of foreclosed homes. >> at foreclosure auctions like this one in georgia, competition has gotten steep. >> sold! >> what's the name of your company? >> we're private. >> but the recovery isn't quite what it seems. >> housing recoveries are typically led by buyers. and those buyers historically were typically homeowners. people who intended to purchase and live in the home. they weren't investors and it wasn't second homes. >> i don't want to be on camera >> but in 2011 2012 you started seeing firms that were backed by some of the larger private equity firms beginning to get into the market. >> who came in and bought houses by the block basic

we do have few projects doing that with the housing program when we are in the housing crisis. however, we do not want to give an image that we are for going with the project. that's my position and where i'm standing. i will be voting no on this. back to you madam chair >> thank you. supervisor mar. >> i know at the budget committee, there was a good zuchlthz i appreciate supervisor cohen's comments. i want to ask if middle brook can comment on the project. i know it's 316 units on site below market rate. david is here as i recall. it's a mixed project in the area of the city that needs more housing. but i'm wondering if you can talk about the on site below market rate unit? >> thank you for the opportunity to speak a moment. the project itself is still in the very early stages of review. it's still under sequel review as supervisor cohen mentioned. today, it's solely about the financing of the proposed project. this resolution would allow the project to seek financing with the allocation. and if that financing is used for the project, there is a requirement that 20 percent of

housing and maybe let's create a housing imbalance in favor of affordable housing thank you very much. >> is there any additional public comment. >> okay public comment is closed and opening up to commissioners commissioner wu. >> thank you i'm very supportive of this piece of legislation let's get to the amendments so i'm happy to support the change of the annual cycle to march first and september 1st to accept the planning department's recommendations on how to address neighborhood notification groups and to include the supervisors plan areas as a category i think that it is - we've really start to be sophisticated in understanding affordable housing it started with the remain pipeline comparing our development to the arena goals and prop k now using this as a tool in addition to the other reports that the planning department does with regard to asking the department to really prioritize this i think there is noubtd that affordable housing is the number one goal so i'll definitely ask the department to reprioritize the report in particular knowing that may have invocations for other

off public comment i want to ask dale and our other colleague to come up they form the providers housing network invite you to come up and afterwards i have (calling names) >> good morning, supervisors. >> thank you for holdings this hearing i'm gail the co-chair the provider network. >> i'm gary the other co-chair. >> first of all we sort wanted to talk about what the network is about your offer arching goals you have the white paper it was striking a broad range of operators and folks that provide supportive the folks in the audience if you represent those groups the chinatown development center and the innovations and support of housing the community services social services of northern cal and loorlg street and the tenderloin community center other others those agencies have over one hundred years of providing the services in and we've come together in this network we have 3 main cargos and 11 recommendations before we talk about that we want to take that public opportunity to thank the human services agency for their budget proposals they've put forward to the mayor and hopefully wi

the interest in housing and encouraging housing activity. where do you see the more recent turning peptase in this development? -- points -- >> i think the key turning point from my perspective was 19d 92 when congress adopted something called the affordable housing gels goals. they were under precssure to make sure people had the option of getting a loan and congress adopted the affordable housing goal that required after frannie and freddy and required them when they bought loans to make sure of the mortgages they bought 30% had been made to people at or below the median income. the authority to require a certain quota was given to the department of housing and urban development at that point and over time between 19d 92-2008 they gradually ratched up the requirements and added new ones -- so that by 2011 it was up to 50% and pie 2008 it was 50%. this wasn't a partisan thing. it was done under clinton but under bush it was carried through by hud. and >> it was designed to encourage americans to save money and make sure lower and middle inc

performance outcomes we'll here later from the general the people that have been involved in the housing providers network and they're already talking about measurement of performance outcomes on a multi year approach i don't want to put words in their mouth but looking at it from a long term there's a temptation to have the outcomes we is the board of supervisors determine they may not be the right outcomes that the department and the housing providers on the street really reels or building are the best to look at we're looking at more than a one year t there are anonymously i want to hear from our prospective do you think it is a good multi year kind of process look at outcomes, and, secondly it it seems to me that some coordination between the departments and the provider to see up front in front of a contract those are the things we want to look at it and have a discussion that you know of what the outcomes are their ones we can measure and fit on the street i think the board of supervisors has a lot of great input but a lot of times we should allow the people, if you will to determi

that the other problem that i am having is, he has been with these organizations like the community housing partnership long enough that he should have been properly trained about the shelter the sunshine ordinance and the ordinance creating the committee and the standards of care and he should have known that and he did not mention any of those documents. the report or the shelter shock created by the homelessness and i am just saying that if he prepared for this and especially if he prepared time wise, this is an extremely long, it is almost a part time job. with very little pay and he has also got to work and he is doing this other program and maybe he is talking about, and i just feel like he has been very sickly in that he has had to take a loot of time off and so wondering if he is, you know, physically able to even do it. >> now the other problem is agencies like they take pride in that. they are not, they are exempt from the san francisco sunshine ordinance. so, i have had problems getting information from them. and i have had problems getting locked out of meetings and just your ba

happy a happen a project that began in late 2010 and xhushthd with individuals moving 90 into the housing in 2014 we want to thank everyone gives users a round of applause. >> i'm to invite up someone that can tell you what is is like to live here and edward and seeking their public health to self-sufficiency by starting with affordable housing dennis jones. >> (clapping.) so let me move this up closer. >> excuse me. >> all right. so mooichz is dennis jones i'm a musician and poet and social london breed i was born and raised in san francisco i've lived in mission the bayview and the castro >> living at edwards the second means that i'm able to learn about different individuals and allowed me to save stay and the different environments is something that is very conducive and growing it is buildings like this is supports the youth to become leaders by being a leader right now i really building that buildings like this should be a model for housing nationally and like nancy pelosi and i want to be like other leaders my case march berry relay and strong advocate or maybe i can be a banker yo

the white house. >> -- >> i'm moving on. hold on. our time is short. this is the way it works. on september 23rd multiple people met at the white house. i'm going to enter into the record asking unanimous consent this daily collar article of february 23, 2015. white house look showing the number of people met at the white house that are activists on this topic. i want to play a video clip. this is the 6:55 in the morning of the day that the president is going to issue his statement. this is you, right? at your home? >> yes, sir. >> and you woke up that morning to protesters out in front of your house. they laid down or set dun in front of your car. wouldn't let you get out of your driveway. they were there trying to make quite a statement. and there is a long five minute video of this. at 7:35 that morning you sent out an e-mail to your fellow commissioners calling it an interesting development. and later that afternoon -- i want to put up a slide. when this was provided you redacted this. this was al

on americans today funding of housing, affordable housing, is critical. i served on the local government board and one of the things we looked at consistently is how do we sustain the low-income or sustainable housing for our population? children repeatedly, every day across this country, awaken go to school, and then their families, they're living in cars or they're living in shelters and they have to take on that responsibility as a child and adjust to an environment that they can learn. and we know that that is a total distraction. some of them through this homelessness, the school is the only stable place for them to go to every single day. so now we have -- we are in a position where we're looking at cutting back on education. we're cutting back on housing. and so in america, are we sending a message through our budget that will not support sustainable housing for american citizens who are not in the top 1%, who some, by no fault of their own are unemployed, are we in this country, and as a government, turning our backs on those people? that's why we

of representatives, the full house of representatives can. should they? >> we should not have to. i hope it doesn't get to this point. it is an open legal question. when you lit gate something you are talking about years and years, an eminently reasonable alternative is for her to turn over that server to an independent and neutral third party. she said she deleted personal e-mails. i have zero interest in looking at her personal e-mails why care about her yoga practice or bridesmaids dresses. why want to see that but who decides what is personal and what is public? if silt a mixed use e-mail and a last e-mails we get in life are both personal and work, i cannot trust her lawyers to make the determination the public is getting everything they are spilitessed -- entitled to. >> she was specifically asked about having an independent someone neutrally agreeable come in and look at the server and that is when she said it will remain private. >> there are a lot of ways to motivate people. one is public pressure. if it becomes an issue for her, if

this room represents the second wave of changes to the house the house being built in 1665. by 1755, the style of have changed drastically in the colonies. at this point, we have elizabeth bray allen smith adding a partition to add a hallway. this room prior to elizabeth would have been open. it would have been about another six feet more open. when you entered the house, you would have entered into one large hall rather than coming into a foyer and this hall. she added paneling. she changed the position of the windows to make the house symmetrical. she brought life and vibrancy and a level of entertaining that we typically picture in the virginia colonies. she was one of the first families of virginia, so she was entertaining people like the harrison's and carter's, people who go on in proceeding generations who end up being presidents. the allen's that time were entertaining at bacon's castle. this room reflects the things that show the class of it at that time what was called arthur allen's brickhouse. bacon's castle had get to appear. some things you see in this room are

three houses down below. the houses are to be between 6,000 and 7,000 square feet each and the ruler is rule -- rumor there will be a lap pool and elevator for cars. >> >> now, this is so out of character for our neighborhood. mount o lump us used to be the geographic center of the city but now we're on the ridge trail and have a lot of hikers that come up there. most people don't know we exist because it's a dead end street. the street is so narrow people think it's a one way and we regularly pullover for each other, so there is a lot of congestion. there are more and more delivery trucks all the time with amazon and the delivery services of your vegetables and so forth, so we're already experiencing a huge influx of traffic, and i can only shutter at what this huge construction project -- the other thing i want to mention the woman next door has yet to be contacted from the developer. >> thank you very much. >> hi there. i amany and live in an adjacent neighborhood and member of the bay renters association

supply in this era of our affordable housing or housing affordability crisis my record speaks for itself. i mentioned the in law legislation in the castro and i have additional in law legislation to allow buildings under going seismic retrofit to add these units. i have arthorred legislation to incentivize developers to add more affordable units into their units and i authored the micro unit legislation that will allow for greater number of units in the same building envelope. i authored legislation to make it easier for universities to build student housing and i have been strongly supportive of increased housing in district 8 whether along up ermarket street or valencia street or elsewhere. one can be very much in support of increase the housing stock while still understanding that the fabric of neighborhoods matters and that when you start seeing a trend where modest size and regular size homes are being not doubled but tripled or quadrupled in their size from one size single family home to another size single family home that is not adding housing. that is not addressing our housing

home is not adding new housing. colleagues, we need to make sure as that housing is added, it's done in a in a way that's respectful to our neighborhoods. it makes sense to apply it here colleagues, i ask for your support and i want to thank everyone for their work and thank you for putting together these controls. >> thank you supervisor wiener supervisor campos. >> thank you very much i want to thank supervisor wiener for bringing this item forward and i'm very happy to support this item today and i think that it's important the clarification that supervisor wiener made i think it's important that when you have these kinds of interim controls whether you call them a moratorium or whatever the tool that's used, there are individuals who try to label that as being antihousing and i think that supervisor wiener properly noted that these kinds of interim controls are not antihousing and there's an e-mail that i received i think it was received from someone criticizing what's being proposed because in their view as cur

. >> it seems like everyone in san francisco is talking about housing san francisco housing prizes are among the highest it tops anyone million dollars and rent rise unfortunately, this is not the first time housing has been in the news thought california the cost of a home has made headline the medium prices for a house in the the $207,000 in california it is more than twice that amount and the laura u bay area is higher it's more than doubled the states so while more than half of the americans can afford the medium fewer in california and quarter in the bayer and now fewer than a 6th of san franciscans can afford it so why it housing in san francisco so go cheven condition tharz the obviously a high demand to live here the city is known for cultural diversities that attacks new residents and the credible opportunity our city diverse and will daytime committee grows jobs as a result we estimate the number of jobs is at ann an all-time 0 hive of 6 hundred thousand in the 80 the population was 6 hundred and 75 thousand now, it's grown steadily and quickly the recent estimate is 8 hundre
