my name is jeff kazinski, i'm with the hamilton family center. i'm here to speak on behalf of the hespa budget request. when i started doing this work it took a family about a week to get into a temporary shelter with case management services. less than a week actually. today it takes over 7 months for families to get into a homeless shelter with case management services. back when i started doing this work there were less than 500 children in the san francisco unified school district that were classified as homeless or marginally housed. today there's over 2200 students in the san francisco unified school district that are homeless or marginally housed. we can do better than this, supervisors. we should do better than this and the hespa proposal is definitely a road map for how we can improve the lives of homeless children in san francisco. i also want to speak briefly on behalf of the 1-1/2% cost of doing business increase. organizations like hamilton are expected and do provide us a critical social safety net services to the city of san franci
