we do not need any more homeless seniors are seniors who are forced to leave our city. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm so glad that this hearing is happening. you know, if we build it, they will come, they are waiting and waiting and waiting. one example i have a is of my upstairs neighbor, elaine, u.s. 77, retired at age 86, she retirement -- received an ellis act notice, and jimmy daley went out searching for housing. she went every day for the first four months across the entire city looking for senior housing that might be affordable, might have an open waitlist. there were none. she called every month for two years, down the list of 47 different places, still no opening, no waitlist noticed that she had missed, and in the end, the stress of not knowing where she would end up because it was imminent, the eviction, it was a matter as she slipped into a coma, her last words to me were, where will i go? and there wasn't anywhere, and she did die. so we need to be sure. this woman worked until she was 77 years old. her income was $1,300 a mo

building serving seniors. and then finally, we recognize the importance of not just building affordable housing for seniors, but really providing the important services that they need to continue to be housed, and our service connector model includes providing on-site mac services for seniors within the building, connecting them to intensive case management and behavioral health services, for formerly homeless seniors, and really connecting them to broader neighborhood services. we recognize the housing also must be complemented with important services for the seniors. with that, that concludes my presentation, and we are happy to take any questions. >> just a quick question, any. in regards to the 2015 bond measure, prop a, that $310 million, do you know how many units from that bond measure was dedicated to affordable housing for seniors? >> from the 2015 bond, we funded two projects that were specifically set aside for seniors, that's 1296 shotwell and there were 94 units in that site. that project is still

senior valley day is may 7th, i'm not sure -- senior rally day is may 7th, i'm not sure how many peopleill be going. the main focus this year will be on the master plan on aging, and that will be headed by members of the scan foundation. state senator jackson and assembly representatives. all i very active in this area. this was our -- all are very active in this area. this was our first meeting where we are looking at the bell city mentioned briefly last month. we are now up to 45 from 36. we lost one. i will provide a detailed report by topic. we thought that that might be easier rather than just listing them. here are all the medi-cal, here all the alzheimer's, a little bit easier. we are looking at one federal bill and some budget issues, as well. cfl has picked up some additional support for their ten pieces of legislation. they actually almost have all of them with a sponsor. so that is pretty much my report >> any questions from the commissioners? what is the time for the may senior valley? >> it is in sacramental. i think it is 10:00 a.m. on the south lawn. i can find that out.

it is not only about senior housing, it is about extremely low income seniors, and there is an absolute correlation, like we just heard from a woman who is living in her van, between what happens if we cannot have those people age in place as it relates to our homeless crisis. the numbers are there. the majority of homeless individuals in san francisco, by her own statistical account are people who were housed in san francisco, and the folks who are most vulnerable are low-income seniors. let's get to work on that bond. i hope something materializes that we will all be proud of and that the voters will be proud of , and will embrace. with that, i will turn it over to supervisor safai. >> thank you to all the individuals who came out today to spend their time to speak on the record about this important issue. although supervisor peskin has the highest number of seniors living in poverty, i have the highest number of seniors aging in place in the city and county of san francisco, and many of those are ones that are vulnerable to being homeless or without an opportunity with an affordable

i am the senior champion on senior leadership accountability. not just making words but turning that into action. the third is accessibility of facilities and usability of services. the champion forthe champion for capabilities late, who is responsible for developing the systems we use in our mission. is our facilities laid, who responsible for the brick-and-mortar, making sure that access a map. senior champion for hiring and retention is hr. senior champion for on boarding and mentoring is our deputy director of workforce development. there is also developing a pipeline of divers senior candidates. we are confident that we have the right priorities and focus areas. and the senior leaders with respect to deliver. i want to reinforce something that the chair said earlier. expressing disappointment that the most senior leadership is not here. as we look at the elements of underrepresentation among senior leadership being one, for all of the good work that the three of you do within your respective agencies, the isue of senior leadership one unles

there are so many seniors who may not have family members to support to take care of them. we, as a city, we have to do better. this bond will provide $90 million to create and acquire affordable housing for our seniors so that we cannot only build more projects like kennedy apartments and we also need to protect seniors in their homes in the first place of they can age indignity. we chose specific priorities based on the impetus of over 100 -- this was truly community led effort, and i'm so grateful to the president of the board of supervisors for his leadership and their community cochairs to a mentioned earlier today. we all know housing is too expensive in the city we need to be bold about the investments we need to make that impact the people in this city who are actually struggling to hold on to live here. i don't want san francisco to continue to be what i experienced going up, a place that when we grew up, as i said, right across the street where i used to live, where it was the old plaza east, they tore down 300 units and built 200 units, so 100 families weren't co

stock, we also have to remember that there are a lot of folks, especially a lot of seniors, who live in a rent controlled apartments. and so one of the great programs we have in the city is when one of those buildings, which consists of low income residents goes on the market to be sold, and those folks face the possibility of losing the only home that they have, we have a small sites acquisition program to purchase those particular buildings so that we can protect the tenants in those facilities. [applause] >> so this bond will allocate $30 million to acquiring rental housing, and that way we protect current residence that would be at risk of rent increases and they maybe forced out of their homes. i'm really excited about that. we also know that there are populations of people who may not qualify for affordable housing, but they don't make enough to afford it, so we can't forget our middle income residents. in addition -- an additional $20 million will go towards helping middle income individuals and families purchase affordable housing, including our first-time homebuyers assistan

one thing important to remember is who these senior leaders were. they are world war ii veterans, korea veterans, they are lifers. to a degree i think they see the problems they want to see, of what is happening. and that lends clouds like it does for everybody, that experience clouds how you see things. it must have been unbelievably jarring for those officers to see what was happening, and also to be stuck in a war that was at the point that it was compared to their previous experience. that is kind of hard to get a handle on, i think. there is a sense of failed expectations here more generally, that this is not the experience that i wanted it to be. if you read earlier memoirs like july,"n the fourth of there's an expectation i'm going to fulfill my patriotic duty and become a man, and those expectations are at a time when young draftees and senior leaders are both seeing those expectations not come to realization. fully about the permissiveness of society or problems in american society, how much did the policy of actual withdrawal from vietnam

the number of deaf seniors is really reduced. there are not many deaf seniors in the city anymore. however, there are deaf people who have college degrees unemployed. they don't have jobs. is there a way if they can find jobs? it's very difficult to find jobs in the city. it takes a long time to really make that happen. so many deaf people who live within san francisco, even though they have a college degree, can't afford to live here or stay here. you know, interpreting services is fine, but they're looking for someone who has asl skills for social events. also, for young people who are deaf. so how do you address that? because i'm not seeing a lot of support in that area. i feel that many deaf people may come here. they may move here and think it's a beautiful city, but there's no social opportunities, and they leave. or, you know, there might be an asl student group, college students or people who are learning sign, but they're not really a good match for those deaf individuals who have already grad graduated from cole and have a degree and are looking for a job and social life.

>> senior leaders not only vietnam, but back in washington. a good example, mai lai scared the hell out of them. it really did. especially when calley's trial was going on, this concern that there could be 1000 other calleys, whatever. you can understand their concern, that perception and immediate reaction to that. clearly the data doesn't support , that. the fine book, "not a gentlemen's war," he refutes the concept of the dumb lieutenant, that sort of thing. from a manpower perspective, personnel perspective and from an officer training perspective and manpower perspective, that got their attention. now how that played among the lower ranks, the people still out there, i am not sure. >> westmoreland commissioned a professionalism study that is run by the american war college in 1970, i believe. >> i highlighted this in my opening comments. in terms of morale, there is a different perspective between officers and ncos. they tend to be conservative, have longer careers, are concerned about morale but in a different way than people entering th

number two is senior leader accountability. and i'm the senior champion on that one. i'm not just making words, but turning it into actions and holding most senior leaders accountable. the third are accessibility of facilities, usability of services and the champions for that focus area is our capabilities lead who is responsible for developing the systems that we use in our mission, but also our facilities lead who is responsible for the brick and mortar, making sure that access is there. the fourth of the six is recruiting and hiring a diversity workforce and the senior champion for that is our chief of hr. the fifth is on boarding and mentoring. the senior champion for that focus area is our deputy director of workforce development. and the last of the big six, this is nsa's focus area developing a pipeline of diverse senior candidate. so we're confident that we have the right priorities in focus areas and the senior leaders that we expect to deliver on each of those six focus areas. >> my time is up, obviously, madame chair, but i want to reinforce something that

as a senior m.p. and the chairman of the iranian parliamentary commission on foreign policy and national security does hold a great deal of sway this body is has the capacity to call on the foreign ministry to call on the presidency to question senior leaders but in terms of actual state policy it doesn't necessarily have the authority to influence the making of those decisions of foreign policy of diplomacy of military strategy and in response to this tweet the supreme national security council actually issued a statement saying as much saying that the personal opinions of individuals aren't shouldn't be taken as as the policy of the state and so there seems to be some disagreement between him as a member of parliament no doubt a senior member of parliament and the government the supreme national security council who's chairman is president hassan rouhani and self. iran's foreign minister meanwhile is in china a signatory to the 25th and the biggest buyer of iranian oil adrian brown reports from. bot

why do they want to turn medicare for our seniors into medicare for none? well, free health care may make for a catchy campaign h slogan, it is unfair to deceive the american people, especially our seniors. to quote the editor of the "wall street journal," voters should know sanders is promising miracles when what he'll deliver is poorer care for everyone. so here we have it, mr. president. the congressional budget office comes out with its study about what the impacts will be. "the washington post," "the wall street journal," "usa today," all of them say this is not right for america. let's be clear, all americans will pay a high price for democrats' one-size-fits-all government-run health care scheme. and i actually think seniors may suffer the most. but it is clear to me, mr. president, that with a one-size-fits-all health care plan, people will pay more to wait longer for worse care. thank you, mr. president, and i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from minnesota. ms. smith: i ask unanimous consent that abigail rajinsky, a fellow in my
