the homeless outreach team and hospitality team are both equally emergence services. specifically, we work with people on the street who have no other option. typically, we look for people who have no other option, people locked out of the shelter system either because of high level metal health, substance abuse, or physical injury, or people who for whatever reason cannot it anywhere else. both of these agencies do the work of rescue, and if you cut the funds, no one will be able to pick up the slack. we do not have other support in the system. there is no other group during direct general street outreach in the community to help people get into shelter, and to care, into housing, and into case management beside the home -- homeless outreach team. same for hospitality house. it is the wide end of the bottle to get people into care. if we sustain the kind of cut that is contemplated, it means a reduction in force, and we will not be able to provide the services to the homeless folks who need them, and it will not be able to get that level of care anywhere else. thank

for instance, the homeless outreach team would lose the outreach workers. they respond to calls from citizens, the police, and the mayor's office, referring clients to shelters and case management, as well as other critical services. staff are here to tell you more in detail about what they do. i ask that you preserve this vital services to the homeless. >> my name is rand park. i am director of the homeless outreach team. this loss will decimate the team. we currently have two shifts that work until 9:00 at night. the service needs a basic human need of housing, shelter, food, nutrition, and safety from the streets. the team response to 311, the police, and the medical system. we assessed for case management. we do wellness' checks on people in shelters and stabilization housing. we help the provider community and are able to place folks it in emergency care. we have oversight of and case management of 36 folks in the case management system. we take folks in very poor condition. sometimes a shower is what makes it possible for a person to access needed ser

taking nine positions of of 11 cripples the outreach efforts of that team. these are those to respond when citizens call 311 -- [bell rings] thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is komiko kawaski. i am here on behalf of coranado, but i am also speaking for all the service providers working to end homelessness. it is very important. they're coming from mentally, physically healthy people. sometimes they forget to take care of themselves. they do not realize on much they are stressed out and traumatized from working with clients. especially case management. there are constant challenges from inside and outside of the building. they have to deal with people who have chronic medical conditions and mental health disorders. from my first experience -- this is isolated because of the small budget. it makes these people more likely to burn out because they have the problems they deal with everyday. it is a proposed cuts that will make its impossible to maintain the quality of services provided. we are not making much money. our keys -- our case managers earn $16 an

please restore funding for the outreach team. >> next speaker. >> my name is hugh gregory from the outreach team since november of 2009. i must admit my 10 years working in this field, never have i worked so intensely with the homeless population. i've experienced very deep and intense interaction with these people. many do not understand the dynamics of outreach but is a crucial part of getting the homeless engaged in services. some clients actively seek out shelter and request services, but large majorities are so mentally ill or ingrained in their homeless lifestyle, outreaching is the only way to establish a connection. in situations like this, we take a long-term approach. with this method hopefully by initiating contact with a client, we can aid, persuade he or she to utilize shelter or b, maintain contact with the client on the street long enough to process the necessary paperwork to successfully house them. among other things, we serve as a buffer between clients who are high users of county and city medical services. all too often emergency services such as ssfpd, fire paramedics r

particularly -- planned cuts to the tenderloin and sixth street self-help centers, the homeless outreach team, through the support of housing and employment collaborative to vocational services in seven of our own support of housing sites, and especially to hsa's $900,000 cut to families and single adults supported housing. san francisco has been a leader in development of supportive housing. what we do not believe is that you can strip away the services of housing for homeless people and continue to achieve the successes that have marked the work. high housing retention, low use of emergency services, high movement of residents off of general assistance, significant movement of residents into employment, and into higher levels of public benefits, and food health outcomes, and a development of community that breaks the isolation that so often marks homelessness. placing 100 formerly homeless people in a hotel with one social worker is a recipe for taking apart the successes that we have achieved as a caring and responsible community, and i urge you to reject the plan to strip down supportive

one is the proposed cut to the homeless outreach team, and the other is the proposed cut to the hospitality house. i am a past president of

one is about the hot team and the homeless outreach team and there is a reduction there and i know that that is in a very effective program in my district and effectively communicating with street population. and so i just wanted to sort of get your thoughts about that program and it is like a $400,000 cut. >> yes, it is. i actually have a lot of involvement in the development of the h.o.t. team and over the years and i do know how effective they are. one of the area and it's about a $2 million program that's all unmatched general fund, so it did get impacted by that. and it impact is about nine positions, two of those which are unfilled and vacant, so would be about 6.7 positions. and i believe that's an effective team and if this cut went through, we would have to do some reorganizing of the team to insure that it continues to do that work the. right now it has two group. one that does case management and one that does outreach and we would have to, if we didn't get those dollars back, we would have to do some changes to the programs or the group to make sure we are addressing that. >

we trained an outreach team, who went to every community meeting, to educate people on how bad the crisis was. not only did i tell people that we'd have to raise rates, i told them we'd have to tear up the city to repair this infrastructure. man: you can't simply say, "i won't use any water, it's too expensive." we have about 25% of our population that's at or below the poverty line, so you have to look at rate structures that are tiered so the people can pay their bills. franklin: we would love to have something like 75% federal money. we do get some federal aid and we are thankful, but on the other hand, we're paying for this primarily with new rates. we have increased our rates to among the highest in america. but not nearly as much as if we hadn't passed a one-cent sales tax dedicated to water and sewer infrastructure. hunter: that sales tax counts for about a third of the revenue of the department right now. franklin: we got 75% of the voters to agree to tax themselves so that their children and their children's children could have clean water because we're investing in it now. hunte
