kids get into supportive housing -- i was the chair of the community services community for mayor newsom's transition aged task force back in 2006-2008. one of our recommendation was to create 400 new units of housing, and it's on its way towards being accomplished. i am currently the co-chair of the network -- i love being part of a team and doesn't matter if i'm in a leadership position or active member and to get individuals together for a common cause. i think the last really component from what i can tell for this committee is believing that san francisco has to be a healthy city for all, for people who wealthy, poor, homeless, housed, it doesn't matter. the feeling of divide that is developing in the city is incredibly depressing to me. i hate the way it feels, like everyone in the city is taking sides and drawing lines. and i think it's essential that bridges be built between the different communities. and that everyone has a belief that all of the communities can contribute to each other. i have lived in the city for 18 years and i really love this city. i like many others am conce
