my name is kevin truit and associate superintendent in the community support department and oftentimes when we report on our homeless students we're just to stop at the number and that numbers have been repeated and that's the end of the story most of the time. what i would like to do today is focus on a new partnership a strengthen partnership that we have specifically with hamilton family center to further address and strengthen our approach to supporting families who find themselves homeless. but first i will start with what are the numbers so actually supervisor kim i can go you one further so since 2006 a 250% increase so you were going with this 2008 number. oftentimes again we look at the number and people say what is homeless? now kenny vintso will tell you that homeless is defined as students that lack a fixed regular and adequate night time residence that include the following and we consider homeless if i break out the number from the fall semester we had 295 students identify as home little and of that number 1288 were -- let me go with the numbers here. so 546 -- that's it

we have kevin truit who is the associate superintendent of student services and kim coats the executive director of school health programs and i want to appreciate the time you spent with us educating us on the health curriculum and recognize commissioner sandra fewer and matt heaney and what is going on today with the health curriculum with sfusd and i look forward to the conversation. >> (low audio) as supervisor kim said i'm the superintendent of the community support department which over dle sees several offices and school programs and community and family engagement so this topic of sexual assault and confirming consent is very important in our department. i want to call up our executive director kimberly coats who will share information how we're addressing this need. >> good afternoon. how do i get the slide showing? oh there it is. wonderful. thank you. i am here to provide a brief report on existing curriculum being taught in sfusd regarding the issues of sexual assault affirming consent and relationship violence. in the packet we provided to each of the supervisors and commis

the numbers that kevin truit showed that the numbers at the end of the school year last year have actually gone down. we are being successful folks and this just isn't about the school district. this is about the whole city coming together to work on this program. we are making progress. however we seen surges in funding before where the numbers dipped down and went back up again. what is important right now we invest in the things that work and rapid re-housing and eviction prevention strategies and permanent housing and access to affordable housing and if we do these things i think by christmas the waiting list will be below 100 and if we follow the road map that others are presenting on we can effectively end family homelessness and we have a great emergency system in the city but it's overwhelmed and people are waiting too much for services and as mentioned the longer children have to wait the greater impact on the brain development. we need to get families housed within 90 days of being homeless at the most and we're moving in that direction so i am so excited to announce all of this

i want to recognize first we will have joyce crum and staff from the division and kevin truit and staff from sfusd too talk about the data and sfusd. we have staff here from the mayor's office of housing and community development but they're not presenting officially and i want to recognize the hamilton family center present wg the coalition of homeless and rebecca is here on behalf of google that provided this grant to kick start the initiative in our schools so before i have presenters come forward would any members of committee like to make any opening comments? seeing none we will have ms. crum and commissioner you're welcoming to join us at the dais . >> good afternoon. i am from the homeless and housing program and manager of family and prevention services. i think you

. >> oh that's great because i have another question for associate superintendent kevin truit. of whom i am very fond you have. >> especially today; right? can i look for the data on physical assaults. i can get it from this data but i don't have it right now you. >> don't have it right now. >> i don't have it right now. i will say it's very low but shouldn't minimize the need to focus on that. >> because it's very low that's the number that is reported. is that correct? >> that's correct. >> so do we have assumptions that we can estimate of the reported ones what percentage does that actually report of sexual assaults that maybe happening on school or after school with our students? do we have any indication? >> we don't. i want to say for a lot of the data we do have -- we're fortunate in the sense that our wellness centers are very highly functioning in all of our high schools. the trust levels and you can go back to even when i was a principal and the wellness centers didn't have the strong relationship they have now. our students' response to the trust and relationship tha
