the first is $150 million for public housing to continue on the work that we have done with the public transformation of public housing is really a promise fulfilled. we have the last two remaining large distressed public housing sites, sunnydale and potrero. these funds will enable us to do emergency repairs. as many saw last week at the mayor's budget announcement, we'll replace every single unit 1:1, and we have new net housing. we leverage our funds with tax credits and other funds with the state and federal government. we serve a wide variety of households, and many vulnerable households. these funds will serve everybody from working families, people experiencing homelessness, transition aged youth, veterans, and more. you can see if you're in housing at 30% a.m.i. and you have to be out on the market looking for housing, it's virtually impossible to afford an apartment. we have strong antidisplacement going on, and we want to further strengthen that, to $30 million was committed to convert permanent housing into affordable housing. and middle-income households, we have a very suc

unfortunately, our city for a long time has relied on public housing as our primary source of housing for extremely low-income residents, and the picture has greatly changes especially in terms of the federal funding, and so we need to be, you know, very cognizant of the great need as well as the dropping incomes and, you know, economic injustice has also contributed to a larger need for people at that income level. and when we talk about seniors, that's -- >> clerk: thank you. >> thank you, members. my name is arnold townsend -- reverend arnold townsend. i had the pleasure, i believe, of working on this somewhat with all of the people who were concerned and worked on the committee to put the initiative together. let me just say that we live in the first period in history where in the wealthy covet the homes and the neighborhoods of the poor. with that, i watched the african american community lose about 50,000 people and i'm being conservative in my estimate since i've been living in this town. and that happens because people move into your neighborhood and some move in to live with

we have to be accountable to the thousands of residents across the city living in public housing and our low income communities. our budget would be accountable to them both by continuing our work to improve the conditions here and our continued commitment to provide funding to keep thousands of housing authority residents secure in their homes. yes, joyce armstrong and happy birthday. also by recognizing that we need to do more to keep people in these neighborhoods safe and supported. for too long this was not a safe community. families were torn apart by violence, gunfire, crime, tragedy, frustration. this community has lived with that. that is why i wanted to come here to acknowledge the past, yes, but also to make a commitment to a better and brighter future. to make communities like this safer. it is not just about enforcing the laws to make sure we have more officers on the streets. it is about giving people opportunities and investing in changing peoples' lives. [applause.] it is about interrupting the cycle of violence and despair. that starts with doing more for our young peo

not just in the traditional public housing but in some of the programs like in the neighborhood, likethe neighborhood safety, neighborhood civilization program. those federal programs that really made housing important and livable in our community. >> for us, things that we look at economic development and outreach within the community, the programs we could leverage, we've also taken in one of our older motels and we are in the process of renovating it and in the process of renovating it and delivering this as low to very low income housing. we have also leveraged opportunities where in the past we had developers pay developer fees and put that together to be able to purchase that property and to then do all the work with the agency in terms of delivering not just the renovations here but using this to build an additional building in the back and perhaps having also some of the day centers that will allow for jobs or training and some of the supporting wraparound services it's not just enough to get them housing but is important for the city to provide other services needed for them

housing. and finally for street resurfacing and maintenance by public works. audits are a crucial tool for oversight and accountability. and by prioritizing audits, we can ensure we're using the best strategies and means for addressing some of the biggest challenges facing the city. affordable housing, homelessness, workforce development and more. as a representative of my constituents, as a member of this board, and as chair of the government audit and oversight committee i'm deeply committed to the essential oversight functions we provide for public services. essential for our own effectiveness and the efficacy as a city and the trust the public places in us. i would like to thank severin campbell from the budget and legislative analyst office for her partnership in preparing this motion and supervisor brown and president yee. i look forward to working with you all as these audits move forward and to ensure our public services are meeting public needs. the rest i submit. >> clerk: seeing no other names on the roster, that concludes the introduction of new bus

[ please stand by ] you . >> president yee: now, we could do a lot more, but it's a start. in describing to educators, what do we really mean, because if we don't put some definition in terms of what are we talking about in terms of their salaries or income, they're educators that earn as low as 30% a.m.i. to 100% a.m.i. so it covers not just the credentialed teachers that are in the classroom but more -- not more, but important individuals that are in the classrooms as paraprofessionals, and hopefully, this will cover them, as well. the details in the bond report, these are some of the high-level amendments that we will be making. and in addition to that, the third thing that we have do is within the bond report, at this point, i would like to make a motion to prepare -- i hope this makes sense, but if it doesn't, it will make sense one of these days, but this is what i have to do. at this point, i would like

things i noticed, you were talking about beat officers but there wasn't anything like around public housing in district 5. i'm just like how are you deploying these beat officers because you would think that if you're deploying beat officers and you have that many in mid-market, they would be around also public housing and fillmore that has lot of issues. when you have a lot of the beat officers, they push things to another area lot of times. i'm just kind of wondering how you're dealing with that when you're looking at your budget and looking at the deployment? >> it's really based on crime trends. the captain has a feel where those areas are that rare that type of presence. you have several in your district. corridors where i have issues, car break-ins, good example, there's not a foot beat there. we have to post that because -- >> supervisor brown: you have a post on alamo square. >> those decisions are made at the local level. as far as me what we do from the upper level, we meet often and discuss the trends that we're seeing across the city. if we need to make adjustments we'll discuss
