i would like to say at central city hospitality house we don't just provide employment resources, public bathrooms, sanctuary from the street and access to the entire network of san francisco resources, but we also provide an environment for personal growth, creativity, zrofere, and the fostering of -- discovery and the fostering of communities. it's a place where everyone, each person that comes through our door is treated with dignity and respect and our staff is trained how to help people who come in to get that dignity and respect and take that back out to the community to foster that sense of community outside of our doors. the impact of that support and that human connection, the value of being told yes to your community cares is invaluable. and it's clear that in removing these services we are sending a signal where our priorities are and it would be detrimental and unfathomable ways, i believe, to our community's growth and health. we have the capability to increase each other's quality of life and our sense of community and we're asking you at hospitality house to give us back that money and let us
