we have really moved in field of peer-based services and as gillan will talk about, we have a peer response team through the community behavioral service and that we have five peer responders who work as part of that, who have also experienced hoarding challenges themselves. and are in recovery and are supporting others in the community. so we have worked with over 50-60 people in the last two years. anybody can receive support from that. it's free. if to anybody in san francisco. there has been a huge demand for services, one-to-one peer-based support. you call us, john, one of the coordinates or our other staff you want support, we'll meet you on-site, at the office and provide that one-on-one peer support and that has branched out into more groups and i will we'll talk more about a variety of peer-run support groups that are are valuable free of charge and those are 12-15 weeks in our offices. entirely run by peers, and a lot of different goal-setting and a lot of different structure in those meetings each week. the one other clinical group we offer is a resource to anybody in san franci

so kristen, we had mentioned before the whole issue of peer-to-peer interventions. can you talk to us a little bit, and how does that work? there are a variety of ways that we can utilize the information, the expertise of peers to help each other. there's peer mentoring, there's peer mediation, there're a variety of different things that we can do. with peer mediation, we work with youth to help each other resolve conflict, which is a tremendously useful thing in this day and age because there are so many opportunities for youth to be in conflict, not just in person now, but digitally. we want to give them as many ways to resolve those conflicts as possible. what kind of things go on digitally today? oh, my gosh. intimidate each other? we are only just beginning to even get a handle on everything, it's exploding so quickly. the common ways that they interact in a negative way, we'll say, that everyone kind of knows about, are things like facebook and twitter and texting and things like that. but there are a variety of other platforms online where youth are interacti

the peer to peer models don't have that. however, there are certain versions of the peer to peer models that basically act the same as a traditional car share model, so we were willing given that to the extent that any of them can meet those conditions such as they're open to everybody, there is not a physical key exchange required, some of the technology that the traditional car share firms have had for some time. we felt it reasonable to include them. the big concern that was mentioned was basically allowing somebody to purchase a parking permit for their private automobile; hence the requirement for a percentage. i think that's a reasonable argument that maybe 75% is too low if we're going to confer this benefit to specialized use of the public right-of-way that maybe it should be higher than 75 so that's something the board could consider in approving this and possibly amending that. the other problem -- and a number of other calls in terms of the geographic equity requirements, both the hard requirements as well as the

and there is an understandable apprehension that -- again let me explain the peer to peer notion. i own a car. i drive it a little bit. why not let people drive it when i am not using it? it's a great idea. maybe 10, 12, 20 families can use my car. many might get rid of their car but we're sensitive to the notion these spaces are valuable and important asset for the city and this agency is a custodian of that trust and we don't want someone to rent their private space and share their car a little bit. we want to make sure if they're participating as a car share vehicle their car is truly shared so we put that floor remains to be seen and why we're doing the pilot whether 75% is the right number. we will watch that very closely. all participating car share organizations have to have an outreach plan to reach new members. they're going to have to report back to the agency regularly on activity and that outreach work. we will watch closely and after nine months we will advise on adjusting that outreach. car share organizations are going to have to provide a lot of data to agency and

. >> i am verian pierce, and i am a peer responder and i started as a member of the action group, which one is of the support groups we have available at mha, and i came to a point in my life i just needed to deal with this issue. and a friend -- i told a friend, i am a hoarder. i had this realization and he told me about the action group, and mha and i went and it was -- these are people i can speak to about this shameful behavior. there is so much shame and stigma around this behavior and coming to the support group or talking to john or having a peer responder come to your home, it's the first time in many, many years that most people have allowed someone to cross their front door, because there is so much terror, if you see how i live, you will

so, the original peer review report had a number in there -- yeah, peer review. original eps report had a peer review number, it's negative. i can look it up. but it's not a positive number at 27 floors, 351 feet. given the community benefits that you have to pay for, it is not -- the number is negative. i'd have to have -- >> do you agree with that number? >> yes. the answer to your question back, just to be clear. the opponents are saying 27.4 project can generate 100 million in sales -- assessed revenues, provided you can generate half a billion dollars in sales, provided that you can sell on average every unit for 3.4 million when in fact at 301 mission under 27 floors, the average unit sells for less than a million and a half. and it didn't hit 3 million till really about 30 stories. >> so, you would disagree with the ucla report's assumptions about pricing of the units? >> exact -- >> any other significant disagreements with their methodology? [multiple voices] >> the overriding assumption, i think the rest of it is sort of -- let me say it differently. if

it's the peer dynamic.hat puts information and skills and decision making in context and language that relates to the students and then makes him more likely to act on the information. . how do high school kids react to this information? sex is always uncomfortable to talk about with other people when you're that age. >> that's when the peer model comes in to train them to specifically open up the conversation and ideally the college volunteer will facilitate lettering between the teenagers themselves. >> and they use language that they're supposed to use that doctors and nurses use. >> and we use language that teens are used to. teenagers do really receive the information and are acting on it, so 94% of our teenagers say they will using is. they learn to make the healthy decision. 61% already have. the decision they make, a common one is using a condom in addition to birth control and we have 42% growth and knowledge. a lot of positive indicators of impact going forward. >> we have a few seconds to left. w

but i don't think peer-to-peer does that. i think it's not individual antennas by individual consumers making those copies, so i think they're very technologically distinct. i don't know the legal implications of that. >> host: and we've been talking with chet kanojia, ceo and founder of aereo. matt schwartz of "communications daily" has been our guest reporter. gentlemen, thank you. >> guest: thank you. >> thank you. >> just ahead, house armed services committee ranking member adam smith talks about the relationship between foreign assistance and national security. then a discussion about immigration initiatives to empower immigrant communities in metropolitan areas of the u.s. after that, health care analysts talk about proposals to lower medicare costs by restructuring the program's cost-sharing components. and later former president jimmy carter speaks to the carnegie endowment in washington, d.c. about the israeli/pal stun yang conflict -- palestinian conflict and middle east security. >> house armed
