hud will review it. and the investors will have say whether these developers selected by the housing authority pass the mustard or not. we do like them and feel they are confident, but we are not the final word on this. there is at least three other groups of people that will decide if we made a good choice of the developers or not. >> who are they? >> the lender will be lending money to the developers, and they will decide if the developer is capable of returning the money. or the guarantees is worth the paper they are executing. the investor that will be putting the money up and buying the tax credits. they will want to know if this developer has a track record of owning and managing tax units, and if they screw up, they it will pay for the cost of the development. and hud. hud wants to know that these developments will be affordable. and managed well for the next 20 years. >> and who is the lender and who is the investor? >> we don't know yet. >> who is interested? >> i think that everyone is interest

hud is not giving us the capital. what they are giving us is a flow of income. first based upon the rad. which is very similar to the income they gave us under section 19 -- section 9. and we are also applying for additional rental assistance under this section 18 program. and it's a combination of those two sources that allows us to leverage all the funds we are seeking. and to do all the rehab work that we are seeking to do. so again, it allows us to again get the loan tax credit equity, and allows us to borrow additional funds than under section 9. and the other part of this, it allows us to have higher operating costs. it allows us to do more at the development. so one of the things that hud did not allow the housing authority to do, is to establish operating replacement reserves. the lenders and the investors will insist on operating reserves. the notion of who pays for the roof in year 15, or who replaces the water heater that breaks is not a question that goes to washington, d.c. but just goes to the property manager and says, i have actu actually set asi

so when the hud secretary, donovan came in, one of his goals was to find a stable funding platform for public housing. that would not be subject to the annual budget process, and that deals with this aspect to access other sources. in 2012 congress passed in the act a demonstration program. it authorized up to 60,000 units nationwide to convert from public housing to this new program. it's a demonstration program to see what happens to this conversion of public housing to a long-term rental assistance contract. with the intent to see if it preserves long-term rental assistance and affordability and improve the properties. enabling the housing authority to address debt. and to put in place a system that would allow for long-term capital needs to be reflect in the funding source that would come in. next slide. so what is interesting about this graph. you can see there was an initial interest in october, 2012, shortly after the program was implement and people could begin to apply. housing authorities could begin to apply. there was a period of time as was new not sure how it would work.

and we will have regina vascal from hud. we will start with you mrs. smith, if you can give us a presentation and go from there. and after we aare done with tha, we will open up to public comment. >> supervisors, good afternoon, this is a great pleasure to come to you and talk about this collaboration that we have with other city agencies, workers and most importantly residents of public housing. i will give you a little background. and then we have our regional administrator here to talk about the rad program. and ultimately will be talking about the reenvisioning and rad for preservation of public housing in san francisco. and then we are going to talk about tenant protections and tenant engagement, which we feel is very important in this process. and also our labor communications and work with our employees and bargaining units. >> mrs. smith, before you go on, is the slide set up to show the public? >> sfg-tv, we have a powerpoint. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i am new at this -- i wonder if this works. it doesn't. so the san francisco housing au

there's something part of the public housing authority and hud the rental demonstration program that that's a demonstration program the more success we have here demonstrates this can be done and serves the model to the nation so we take pride if what this means to our residents and individual families those who have lived no public housing will continue to do so and the fact we have affordable housing is part of it and we have the market rate by none of the units were distributed that way it was very shall we say democratic's if i can say that. so congratulate everyone that has anything to do with it ali is a champion so thank you effective from the start supervisor cowen and to mechanic thank you for your allowing us here and joaquin i'm happy to see you having the roll and again secretary welcome to san francisco. i'm going to say something about jon stewart over the years across the city he's been committed to affordable housing being a partner in public housing as well as the mixed use that's there so thank you not only for a today but a lifetime of commitment to the housing in

we were not hitting our scores, and when you don't hit your scores, hud doesn't give money. and you have to cut somewhere. all of them know what is going on. they are vague. we have been at the table for months. yes we have. and it seems like good faith, yes it does. but it's vague. because at the end of all of this in two years, people are going to lose their jobs. and the residents in public housing have become very familiar with employees. and you all know how important that is for people to feel comfortable who is serving them. thank you. have a great afternoon. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, i name is will daniels. i am an employee for the san francisco housing authority. i will start by saying there was a statement made that this will allow better building and property management at the sites of public housing. in my time at the agency, i worked in section 8, i managed my case load and handled another case load and managed workers that are still there as a housing authority. i am a property manager now at robert development, and i worked at potrero hill

and hud is going on provide a waiver for those folks that are going to be fixed or better. i want us to be mindful that an agreement would serve us that we have well-paying jobs with the living wage. and we have tenant right protections. and it serves the board in its best interest to do that. so we can work together, not just the housing authority or the mayor's office but a larger group. i am concerned on a 18-month path and we still don't have all of these questions. to rely on who is going to give the loan to which group. that's our residents, that's our community. we want a better san francisco. and i am not sure i am hearing that today. i think we need a better dialogue and transferred to joints power agreement to protect all communities of color. thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, i am the rad outreach specialist at san francisco, and i am former resident of alice griffin. i understand the need for rad, and i understand two important things. tenant education and input and tenant protections. it's very important that there are peopl

we have received approval from hud to renovate about 14 projects in the next three years to the tune of about 1500 units. and then we will be taking on additional number -- 14 additional developments in the following three years. so, that is not like hope s.f., it is not demolition and rebuild new. it's renovation so that we can maximize housing quality in the near term versus hope s.f. which usually takes a lot longer to demolish and rebuild given the amount of resources it takes to do that. >> thank you. >> through the chair, this is joanna fraguli with the mayor's office on disability. i have a question he and three suggestions. so, the first question is about the very exciting portal/database and i would like to ask whether you are taking into consideration not just language access for people who are automatically excluded from the digital divide, but also individuals who are needing electronic accessibility. people using assistive technology, screen leaders, in other words, is the database going to be 508 compliant? or have the item entered in it with the developers [speaker not

looks like nobody knows about hud guidelines, and it is a shame. and i've been saying it -- and i know you, city attorney, tired of hearing me talk about it. but i just had to come up here right now and state the fact that it's sad, it is sad. the only department in this city, which is the unified school district that has a state federal certified compliance officer. now, they got so-called compliance officer in name, but they are not certified by the state where they can send in reports monthly like they should be done. when are you all going to make sure the city does this? thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>> good morning. my name is trudy garver. thank you for the opportunity to speak. i'm speaking on behalf of the public land. we create parks and protect land, ensuring livable communities for generations to come. and while we fully support local hire policies, we are concerned that this legislation will discourage charitable gifts that help build parks for all san franciscans to enjoy and that this legislation will decr

i've deelt with hud and unfortunately actually forced them to be part of the horizon so call on ace. this is about the rad should demonstrate a whole lot of information please supervisor call me, i'm ace and i'm on this case. thank you very much i can't say this in 3 minutes >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i'm neil on behalf of the putting the name of mayor ralph on some or part of the bay bridge. a little bit of background from time to time when i came here. now the day after tomorrow theirs the 24th is the successful rupture be of the world first occur come navigation of the globe a major landmark in whole history of transportation and in general it's in the record books even though it's been widely forgotten and wanting harrison sales i have a headline. farewell while your dollar steams away leader globe circulating plea and the 2 thousand 5 hundred cheers. as the preliminary opening fester of the scheduled service earlier which is sponsored by san francisco chamber of commerce to spread the word of the importance of san francisco we've seen on the president

and nixon would later appoint romney as his hud secretary.regated housing was necessary not only for african-americans but par moint to preserve the integrity of the united states. nicole hanna jones notes in talking points. romney wrote that equal opportunity for americans in all education and housing is essential if we're going to keep our nation from being torn aabout. he was desensitized since his time gave him a front-row seat on the worst riot in u.s. history, after detroit streets erupted to five days of violent conflict in 1967. contrary to many who saw the riots as a reason to keep the races apart, romney wanted to use housing policy to bring people together by eliminating segregation. ultimately his model of progressism clashed against practicalities and president nixon bowing to pressure of his supporters in the south and white northern suburbs shut down the hud program, kicked romney out of the administration, and four decades later, residential segregation in america has transformed in other ways, it remains very much the same. i

. >> shelter plus care is our hud funded program, that we have to competitively, procure every year. in order to be eligible for the shelter plus care funded program you have to have a chronic homeless definition, which means three or four, episodes of homelessness in one year. the operating costs includes, the master lease that includes, the operating the building and the utility and property management and the supportive costs are segregated and that is the case management and the support on site for the individual tenants of the family tenants. >> and scott, walton is the program manager. >> how do these two costs together will give us the over all yearly cost per unit. >> and you sum up. and this is the biggest example and and per unit is for the permanent supporting housing. >> and if you sum it up, yes. >> on the master lease, and that is basically equivalent to the cost per shelter bed. >> yeah. >> and then, in some cases a little cheaper. >> and so that is surprising, at least from my perspective. and because, i think, well, again, we will get more into that, i think, and but

neighborhood none of them in the group has expertise about the placement we've talked about one property a hud property directly across the street and in the case of 533 there's a large apartment building cross the street and potentially there are storage locations within the building that will allow at&t to use private property space. the incentive is $8,000 for skaes that's another thing that should be addressed for a prove or disprove to want to do that as opposed to obstructing sidewalks. is there any public comment seeing none, mr. george if you have rebuttal you have 2 minutes >> i'd like to make two points for the record again lynn fong from public works appeared at the hearing and this is the hearing officers finding at&t, in fact, compiled with the technical requirements of the order. the other point is the proposed location is in the public right-of-way and at&t has a right to install in those locations and the city of san francisco revokes in their report the utility boxes are a part of the city >> mr. quan. >> thank you, john quan from the department of public works. the department

that in-laws are cybill more affordable than other types of housing and studies from uc berkley and hudnd aarp have discussed this fact. in addition in-law units are typically nor assessable than other units because they're typically on the ground floor. and so for a neighborhood with a growing senior population like the castro and people with mobility challenges those units are a good option the in-law units can be added to a neighborhood without changing the feel of the neighborhood not new height or bulk or new buildings that's within an existing envelope. i will note in selecting the castro for this legislation one thouft thought that was important the castro is one of the most transit rich neighborhoods in the district so he know that car ownership is lower than the city as a whole to people are less likely to have cars and lead to more parking challenges in the neighborhood. as i mentioned this legislation for the first time we can think of since 1979 adds new rent controls control to the market because any in-law units under this legislation that's added into a rent control build
