do. you have to maintain the north side of your house. >> so, what do you use to remove mold and mildew? people say bleach kills mildew. also, when you paint and when this gets repainted, there's a very simple additive you can get at the paint store, the mildew side that prevents the development of mildew and wherever you paint. do you use mildew sides in paints? >> we mix it in with primer. >> especially good for bathrooms? ok, good. we're going to look a little more at inside bathrooms. scrubbing it off, definitely. here's a hinge, an exterior hinge. it looks like it is rusting in certain areas of the hinge which are not designed for weather exposure. exterior metal is a serious, serious problem. here's a hinge which is solid stainless steel. so stainless steel or brass or bronze or, you know, other similar materials which are designed to be exposed to weather are what you have to use for exterior. if you use anything that has galvanized or other it will -- unless -- thank you, unless it's hot dipped galvanize it will rust. people say it's galvanized but it's what they call electroplat

doing for important work in the community, stephen wu from the tenderloin association. [applause] >> all right, what is up, everyone? most of you know us for developing affordable housingwe do have a community organizing department that can get results in taking leadership roles. that is our role around the garden, getting community volunteer support for the gardening. first of all, i want to thank a few people. john updike, he has been really great in lending the space. very cooperative in helping to cut through the red tape. thank you for letting us stand outside of your restaurant. for those of you that do not know about our neighborhood, we have the highest saturation of offsite the licenses in the entire city. take a walk into our neighborhood, there is a liver store on every block, but no worse restores. -- no grocery stores. it poses a tough challenge. hard for our residents every day to not have access to something fresh and affordable. this garden here is one attempt to address that solution. i wanted to bring up another attempt that we see, another of our attempts to address the lack of access, if you come to our offices, we can show you the plan for the groc

most san francisco house us don't have crawl spaces so most san francisco houses do not have cripple walls. what we do have is we typically have one or 2 story over garage. the garage at street level, those walls become like the cripple walls. so, what we like to see, we like to see people strengthen those garage walls the same way you strengthen the cripple walls. you installed the anchor bolts and ready to install plywood. cdx or structural one is recommended min mun half inch thick plywood. add them in install the plywood in segments of 4 feet long minimum segments it's not worthwhile for garage or basement walls to add plywood in shorter segments. longer is better, of course. you don't want to go over board and for example, cover one entire wall with plywood and leave the others bear. you are making it worse. the best thing to do is to distribute the installation of plywood as evenly as possible around the perimeter walls much the simpson book shows a picture of that. >> page 13 and 14. >> those typical for most san francisco houses especially because if you have 25 foot wide lot

so using our limited resources, what samhsa's trying to do is address facilitating programs, housing,ting the person who's homeless where they are. if you offer only one model, then you're going to miss a lot of people, and we don't want to be in a situation where we say, if you don't belong to this group, we can ignore you. the homeless situation requires support. we also want to make it clear that we, we provide services at samhsa. we don't just do the housing. we have to work with hud, we have to work with administration of children and families, work with hrsa, work with the corporation for supportive housing and other nonprofit groups, so that we're dealing with the full spectrum. and working- so that would require a very extensive assessment of that individual. we definitely prefer a case-by-case assessment of the individual. so you want outreach workers addressing the unique needs-why is that person homeless? what are the circumstances? is it a sexual orientation issue, is it a family issue, is it an economic issue, is it a chronically mental illness issue? what's going on with

us to vote on an amended version as suggested and we can do that as well. >> while i appreciate the reports back to us, what works, what may work, it doesn't work, this house to structure the discussion. with regard to material changes, that is a more hefty amendment and i'm glad that we see some meeting of the minds. i will accept the recommendation on the question of the amended as the recommendation has been made, it does not at all alter the intent and i think it does exactly what i suggested we do two weeks ago and that is provide for enforceable commitments so the board of supervisors is involved and we are part of the stops. on the question of the bridge, and why not bring us back to since you had suggested against the idea of the 41 footbridge coming to us and only allowing the bridge come to us, what about the ability to evaluate? >> i apologize, i was probably not articulate. in order for us to move forward in a meaningful way, the existence of that least is so fundamental to the financial underpinnings of the project that having that come back to the board for a later decision would create an acceptable level of uncertainty. what we have heard w

housing one person boggles the mind. why hasn't the mayor's office provided us that data. they promised that. and when people leave affordable housing, do we have another candidate that actually goes in there that needs the affordable housing? and what happens if you have affordable housing and no one has been able to answer this, and then you get a very good job and you're making more than the person who needs the affordable housing? i think this whole issue of your income has to be important over time because if you come in affordable housing, you need it, you should have it. but what if you get a good-paying job you don't need the affordable housing, shouldn't you have to leave that affordable housing and give it to someone that actually needs affordable housing? so there's an equities to me i see if we did an audit of all the affordable housing, take a couple units, take a look at that, how many people are living there, how much they're paying and do an audit on it, we'd probably have more room for more people that need affordable housing. so i don't know how to proceed with that but it still irks the crap out of me someone can have

simple to do, but for the longest time we've been talking about this in our master planning efforts is the notion of sustainability and lowering green house gas emissions and in essence not using more electricity, use gravity and other things to do what we have to do. unfortunately now that we have this climate change problem and rising tides and so on, it kind of turns us around where one sort of solution that you just think of is more pumps, but how is that becoming more sustainable? i don't really know what the answer is yet and i think that's why we, you know, convene summits like this. i think all of us are going to be facing very similar kinds of situations and it's the kind of thing we all need to think through together and figure out how to resolve. so to recap, the specific problem from a utility management point of view that we face in the near future is the notion of salt water back flowing into our current sewage system. this will basically cause our treatment systems to fail catastrophically. we will have for large periods of time sewers that are completely full, which will not allow drainage to happen in a consistent way. having said that, i think there is a way

do a housing application." so in homeless outreach, it's a little different because these are people who are really running away from us, who want nothing to do with the system, who may have had an experience with the system twenty years ago that was profoundly negative and never went back. and we're trying to show them, hey, it's different. the services are different, the medications are different, we're different, and, you know, but that's going to be a long, difficult process because they're used to their institutional setting which is either the shelter system-or the street is a kind of institution itself-and they're institutionalized to the street. and i think that's something very important for the families to realize if they've got a loved one that's in a homeless situation. right, kathy? yes, absolutely. mark, tell us about your therapeutic community. how does it handle co-occurring conditions? okay, we provide integrated treatment which means every single treatment plan deals with both the mental illness and addiction together. my staff does not view themselves as either addiction specialists or mental health

do all of us some justice. they were going to tear down the old houses and replace them with new houses, and everybody bought into that dream. does it surprise you that they admit that the whole reality was to get so many black folks out of the fillmore? because folks was means wanted to move in. >> they get a lot of grief for that, but the reality is we were part of a larger national federal initiative. in terms of the work that we do today and work we have done over the last 20 years, we have been the leader in terms of producing affordable housing. that is a document to the fact. >> we actually want redevelop. we want to see our house is remodel, kept up. poor people do not necessarily because they are poor want to live in dilapidated broken houses. these folks are dying to have their houses repaired and 6 so they do not have these issues. they are fighting to hold onto old, raggedy houses. you know why? because they know what rebel mendez. redevelopment at a meeting of our schools -- that was then. we are the new caucus -- we are the new redevelopment. >> they want to use eminent domain. they are going to hav
