is over twice the size of navigation centres. the city service's auditor found a key feature of the centre was the small size, which allowed clients to thrive in a sheltered environment with relatively few richarrigid scale like you're proposing. upon the navigation centre concept, a large scale is an experiment and should not be done in an area where the fail would cause spill-over effects of workers and visitors daily. this is an environment different from your dog patch site. the port's previous experience with navigation centres has been the lease of the dog patch site. that's a different environment, the end of a cul-de-sac and supplier and several blocks from the nearest resident and the clean success says nothing about how the navigation centre will perform at lots 330 which is surrounded by residents and commercial businesses and the whole entire street. while they do not allow walk >> thank you for your time cheer cheer. cheer cheer.

i oppose the navigation centre referred to as a megahomeless centre. i have grave health and safety concerns. the city and the port seem to be racing ahead to force the centre on our neighborhood without any sort of due process. southbeach and somo is a densely populated area, thousands of small children and we heard 25 preschooled and daycare centres. small children are uniquely vulnerable to homeless, many with substance abuse robs, probs and unfortunately, they have experience with homeless due to the unofficial homeless camp. one of our neighbors recently was the victim of a home invasion by a homeless person. another neighbor is a toddler who was stuck by a hypodermic needle and coming up by her six-month hiv test. several good samaritans pulled the homeless person off until the police arrived 25 minutes later. so district 6 has homeless at fifth and bryant and have borne more than our fair share. if the port proceeds with the megahomeless shelter has it should be called, it is putting the life and health of the residents of soma and southbeach at

i run passed two navigation centres and i personally hurdle needles and feces. i've been chased by an individual outed the dog patch facility. due to my experiences and concerns for safety, i run on the far side of the street to provide space. so imagine my surprise when the city wanted to drop a navigation center with the most concentrated use of scale schood childcare facilities. i cannot fathom a less appropriate place. there are five distinct preschools, half a mile away. two playgrounds and one park and within one mile, there's much more. this is a neighborhood with various children. again, i cannot fathom this being the best decision for our neighborhood but look at other sites to find something smaller and scalable. foul thank you. >> thank you. >> deborah and then victoria. >> deborah? victoria? alex sweet. denise? and then amy woo. >> good afternoon thank you for the opportunity. my name is denise and i am the general manager for alcatraz causecruises. weaone of the things i wanted to mention today was the increase that we have been experiencing in the

what does that mean for the residents and the navigation centre? neighbor quayed a -- conveyed said homeless person was pulled off her. if 50% of the 225 people at the centre have dogs, that's hundred dogs. >> president brandon: we really appreciate your comment. any other new business? public comment? seeing none. public comment is closed. >> it's important we ask for port staff to give us the plan since we discussed two commission meetings ago in terms our plan to issue r.f.p. and seawall lot 330. it's important to point out for the public record that while we're discussing the navigation centre on that site, any development of that lot and the piers is going to take some time. it usually takes years. it's not necessarily something that we cannot consider in parallel. i'm not here to answer the questions. i think the community raise lots of question about the navigation centre and i think that there has ha to be lot more work done. that's something that has to be done with the city. we're not in the best place to be able to answer all of the conce

when we open up to the bryant street navigation centre earlier this month, i met a woman who had justng addiction and breast cancer. on the streets, her medication kept getting stolen, she couldn't get healthy, now she is inside, and she is working on getting housing. at bryant street, she gave me a hug, and she said she is hopeful , and so am i. if she has hope, others can too. that is the difference. she is excited about the future, and i'm excited for her. if she can have a hope, and others can too. i've already announced my plan to add 1,000 shelter beds by 2020, enough to clear the shelter bed waitlist. [applause] >> we also are declaring a shelter crisis so we can get these shelter beds builds now, and i want to thank supervisor supervisors brown, haney, mandelman, supervisor stefani and walton, for joining me in recognizing our bureaucracy shouldn't stand in the way of one single thousand beds. this is a huge step, we know, but it is not enough. we know we have around 4,000 unsheltered people in our city, sleeping in our streets, in our parks, in the doorway is, or in vehicles.

expansion and permanent support of housing, as well as initial -- we've opened at least three new navigation centres this year. we've provided housing for 2,000 people. that's a huge accomplishment -- [cheering] [applause] >> the sky is the limit. we're going to be able to hit our five-year goals. and the clients and the public are really going to start to see the impact on our streets. [applause] >> good evening, i'm jeff kasinski, and i'm the director of the department of homelessness and supportive housing. thank you. i was told this had to be really quick, but i'm going to have to say a few words. before i started working for the city, everybody told me, you need to hire giggigigigi witley. we had lunch, and within 15 minutes, i understood i needed to higher gigi whitley. you are a brilliant person. you are wise. you are kind. you have been a trusted advisor, a good friend during very hard times, and an amazing, amazing leader. and you have sacrificed so much to get this department off the ground. i think there are two other people who deserve this award tonight. justin maddie.
