especially trans women of color, specifically black trans women. they're much more highly impacted than any other sector of our community. once we have a stable home, we know that our health disparities will be addressed as well. were much less likely to contract h.i.v., become addicts, attempt suicide, all those different things. we also know that accessing gender forming surgeries has come leaps and bounds over the past decade in san francisco, with that still remains inaccessible to people who are homeless, and that is actually unequal care. our homeless population -- >> thank you. if there's anyone else from the public would like to speak on this item, please feel free to get in line. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is jordan davis, speaking for myself. for identification purposes only , i serve as one of the tenant reps on the single tenant occupancy time force. i support the ask, and of course, which is providing rental subsidy, supported individuals at risk of losing their housing, increase trans and gender nonconforming inc

individuals in my experience of working with incarcerated trans individuals, the rate of trans women in jail who have been homeless within six months of them being in jail was 100%, literally every trans women and gender nonconforming individual that i worked with prior to being incarcerated experienced homelessness in the city. i think that we need to look at the ways in which these issues are intersecting. the city was wonderful enough to fund our reentry efforts for trans individuals, and i want to say that as a part of that, i really important complement to this effort is to be able to put trans women, trans people in general in housing so that they don't continue this cycle of feeling like they need to do other things to survive out of desperation. i would ask that the

our work is really focused as the only trans-led city government office in the country to support trans and lgbt folks to be thriving in our great city. our work is based on forming tiers, one, advising the city and city departments on lgbt inclusion. two, working primarily around civic engagement through our transadvisory committee, which is appointed by our office. and three, working on policy and programs that are implemented throughout the city to support both new policy as well as existing policy is supported. and then four, working through training and education through stories and voices of the communities that are most impacted. so the importance of sogi, senator wiener also shared. you know, one is to primarily collect information around trans and lgbt communities which often experience large levels of disparities and are undercounted across census, etc. furthermore, to identify city and city funded services in which trans and lgbt folks are underrepresented or underserved, and three to identify the needs and serve the communities and then four to ensure equity across city fund

women, specifically trans women of color. i'm also here to say, no, we will not be forest to be last. this meeting is indicated -- indicative of how we are treated we are forced to be last. we are forced to go unheard, which translates that we do not have needs, but we -- or that our needs don't matter, but we have very specific needs, and those needs translate to provide rental subsidies, to prevent -- per -- protect these individuals at risk of losing their housing or to secure new housing that is conducive to the needs of trans women and more specific, black trans women. increased safety and existing housing and shelter programs are comprehensive organizational development programs that are sensitive to the needs of trans women and specifically of color. establish dedicated housing programs to address service navigation emergency housing and long-term housing stability that are sensitive to the needs of trans women and more specifically, women of color. before i say thank you, i have a young sister that is homeless. she li

you have to call out we are going to do count of trans folk, similar to what we're doing with trans age youth. >> yeah. thank you for that feedback, supervisor. i think it's something we hear very loud and clear from our community partners, as well. i know that my colleagues in the division are working closely with the office of transgender initiatives who are helping us understand that community feedback, and we're looking -- we're kind of in process on evaluating that approach. >> supervisor mandelman: great. thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: up next, we have brian chiu, the director for the mayor's office of housing. >> all right. brian chiu, executive director for the mayor's office of housing and community development, using he, him, his pronouns. so we implemented our sogi data collection just before the beginning of our 17-18 grant year, and the way that we chose to do it was by including within our orientation sessions for all of our grantees, we have about 191 separately funded programs to inform our community based organizations about how best to include all of

that trans people, according to this order, are insufficient.s almost a second class weaver created. i'm allowed to be open and trans, but you're not because you're deficient. if anything goes before a commander who has to make a decision to commit time, energy and resources to a trans soldier, once the president and the secretary of defense have said these people shouldn't even be allowed to serve, they're deficient in their military service, why would i continue to invest resources in openly transgendered services? >> if they come out, will they be dismissed or will they be allowed to stay in the military just under their at-birth gender? >> that's tricky, because if you say your transgender, the treatment for being transgender is to transition. so once you're determined to be medically necessary and it's not your decision, it's on behavioral health. if they decide it's medically necessary for you to transition, that's when the administrative separation goes into effect. so just by identifying as transgender, you can absolutely be discharged.

people need equality, excellent, and equalization, as trans people. we need all of that right now. so please step up to the plate and give it to us. >> thank you. >> i still have six seconds. thank you.

we have proposed and the trans bay redevelopment plan requires on site affordable housing. you can't pay a fee in the trans bay redevelopment plan, 181 fremont worked out a development agreement and it pod out a fee. -- paid out a fee but the existing code does not allow for that. as i'm sure you heard from other developers there's problems in locating affordable housing in high rise condominium development and the association dues prohibit it. we can build the units but they're not viable, affordable units. what we proposed instead and had a number of conversations with ocii and planning staff as well is a variation from the redevelopment requirement and from the planning code requirement that would allow us to provide the units off-site at block 4. the terms of the draft variation we provided so the city attorney and ocii council provides the affordable units at block 4 would need to be delivered prior to certificate of occupancy for the residential units at parcel f. that's how the legal connection between parcel f and block 4 works and the time and connection. it's our

house your commute the trans community reacts to that phrase being used about your community. >>well come to a decision is a term that i think is baseless mostly because we have transgender service members to at this very moment are serving in combat don't stare deployed. it's impossible to say combat deficient about people who are literally in in combat situations right now. combat deficient is a term that we use for people who are not deployable i had this very moment and deployable worldwide incapable of going to afghanistan or anyw decides they need me to come back deficient is just the term is baseless because we're as combat ready as any other service members. >>have you experienced discrimination against you because you're transgender and if you have it has are you afraid that that might change now because of the new policy. >>so amongst my peers in uniform does best to wear a military uniform i faced very little attempts to discrimination occasionally there might be an unease or lack of understanding. but typically those who get the opportunity to meet and know a trans

military alliance in nato for lost seventy y years hs guaranteed peace within europe peace in the trans atlantic relationship and in fact really is a big and very important part of the trans atlantic relationship. and it seems to me that sometimes when we talk about the military aspects we seem to forget that this is also just a core pillar of the transit the let the transatlantic relationship which as we all know at the moment. you know has its major problems. addresses seven decades success story may be but the celebrations to mark the anniversary in washington have been described variously. as restrained low key and nervous or even ugly what's the problem. the problem is that there's a separation between the american public the american elite as represented in congress and the american president. and if you notice of the american public there's a bunch of new polls out. is still for nato a and has bary budged in in europe europe is also still for nature but has gone down a little republicans of course so much more skeptica. yeah which republicans though and that's where that this is

a cal trans spokeswoman dismissed the claim today. she says engineers fount a pothole in mid span but nothing else. as officers continue to investigate the claim, mark levine says it's time to remace the 63-year-old bridge by building a new one. >> cal trans officials have told me that it's safe yet more concrete is falling from the top deck. that lling co concrete chunks fell on to the lower deck last week. and in february. two months ago, officers showed us some pieces that were as big as a football. and they actually damaged a car. the driver was not hurt. since then, cal trans has been working over night to fix the expansion joints on the top deck to prevent the problem. >> so instead of spending $900 million in maintenance, perhaps we should start doing the environmental work and the engineering work on a 3 billion- dollar replacement that will have fewer maintenance costs but will also last for over 100 years. >> the challenge with a new bridge obviously is the y t it thomaserso-- get it ssloi fututrrk thospansion joints and try

we're sponsors of trans bay par parcel f. i'd like to introduce you to the project seeking 275,000 square feet of office allocation. it's located at 542 howard street. the sponsor acquired the property in 2016 who used the $165 million of proceeds to complete the construction of the transit center. it includes residences in the upper tower and public pedestrian passageway and the new transit center. it provides a direct public access to sales force park by way of public elevator up to a pedestrian street at level 5 and the reason the project requests 275,000 square feet of office space. that's less than 10% of the currently available prop m allocation. the project is shovel-ready in the sense it's exempt from further review under ceqa in reliance of the studies and they're complete and there's no significant environmental impacts. the site application is actively under parallel review by d.b.i. and we're ready to begin work as soon as the project is entitled. the sponsors committed for union labor for the hotel and the office

the chp closed the number two lane while cal trans inspected the situation. traffic was backed up for two hours as cal trans took steps to make sure the bridge was safe. >> the inspector went up there and took a cherry picker style bucket list and knocked off the remaining loose pieces of concrete and basically ensured that there's no immediate hazard. >> reporter: back in february, the same thing took place. that time, football sized pieces of concrete hit a car. nobody was hurt that time either. but drivers have told us they're getting more and more nervous about crossing the bridge. we're back here live. cal trans is working with the contractor to make sure this doesn't happen again. repair work is scheduled to take place later tonight and meanwhile, representative mark levine from san rafael said his confidence in the structural integrity of the bridge let the bridge is falling. he is calling on lawmakers to immediately begin planning for construction of a new bridge. reporting live in richmond, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, jodi. s

the trans-atlantic bond is not just words. the trans-atlantic bond is very deeply rooted in history, in democratic values, in alliance. that's a reality and i think that it is also very much present among the leaders when they meet in the european council. they want the trans-atlantic bond to continue and they want to strengthen it. it continues to be a key factor in how we see how to place ourselves in this world. that also means that we need to build on what we have in common. we need to maximize the positive agenda and that is by bilateral relations, for example, in trade, but it's also about that rule-based international order, in the first instance about the wto, where there is sufficient commonality of interest to push, we believe, a common reform agenda. at the same time, we need to minimize the frictions. there have always been frictions in the trans-atlantic relationship and we have always been able to manage them. we have to be a little bit careful that they don't proliferate too much and because of the impact that t

pence has been critical of the policy that allowed trans gender troops.and the mayor are friends, he doesn't have a problem with the mayor, that's not defending himself on the merits of the issues and it's not giving the mayor the respect he deserves. in fact, it glosses over issues that mike pence has supported that have been hurtful to the lgbtq community, the people of indiana and the members of the armed forces. mayor buttigieg belongs to all those communities. he's not playing along with the vice president and the second lady that they play the friendship card here. he's not playing along with that. he called it out for what it is earlier this week, tweeting this, people will often be polite to you in person while advancing policies that harm you and your family. you will be polite to them in turn, but you need not stand for such harms. instead, you push back honestly and emphatically, so it goes in the public square. so here are, in the public square, here we are on the public square right now. it is fair to say to call out people when they are wron
