i am grateful to mohammed nuru and chief bill scott for working together to get those people that were out there directly into services and transferred into navigation centres and clearing out and cleaning up that particular encampment. i also had a chance to talk to many of the residents there who actually live in affordable housing. who struggled with homelessness themselves. it can work. we also have to consistently stay on top of the issue and move things forward and provide an alternative other than our streets. this is why following the failure proposition d. in june in partnership with president cohen, i took swift action to restore the $40 million in critical homelessness and housing investments that were left unfounded. we need to do everything we can to keep people housed. but making sure that people who are struggling with homelessness get housed. that is why i want to make sure that here in san francisco, we make the right investments and we build more housing and build more housing faster. i have a whole lot of other things to say, but my time is running out on the clock.
