That we send out are Getting Better and better and were working with developers to decrease the unnecessary information on some of the materials and they were did the out reach materials so that our ser ser ser certificate of preference holders are not tuned off about sheets and sheets of words about ami and all those things that they do need to know , they need to know how much it will cost and they need to know about what the minimum income is and the rent is and i think were really making big improvements. We send out our email blast its now going to over 30,000 folks interested in rentals and over 30,000 folks interested in Home Ownership opportunities here in the city and we are really monitoring the lottery process and ways, its hard to monitor and its easier to machine ter now with the electronic now that weve come to the 21st century with our electronic lottery and our Electronic System than the circus tickets and so its really coming to prove to be fruitful as well and now when a developer accidentally leaves out an application, we know exactly where to go and who it was and how to put it back in and what all of these steps are and where as before, if a developer accidentally left out an application it was like oh, well, sorry we cant find your application and well that no longer happens. So i feel like were really able to step up this year and how were delivering these units and weve increased the number of developer and leasing agent trainings and were helping close their learning curve on the new way and and. The Customer Service timing that they have to have to accept applications by hand and or to pass out applications rather than having access to them all over the city so its really i think ever developer we speak with that uses the electronic trotly comes away with saying why didnt we do that before and and making sure we review each and ever disqualified household, to ensure that they were disqualified for the reasons that are in the marketing plan that are detailed in the market ing plan and we spot check the qualified households just to make sure that they are actually qualified households and this is helping our developers as well with their com ployance issues and its helping our tenants who , our potential tenants that might not have felt like they had a place to go when they were disqualified or anybody that was going to look at their stuff again and their information again and i believe that now they understand especially primarily especially the certificate of preference holders that most c. D. And ocii are going to be there for them to even if its just to explain to them why they didnt qualify and in a way that they can understand and get resources to fix. We closed three projects this fiscal year and dr. Davis Pacific Point and the shipyard 53 and 54 but we worked on, we brought online five projects so we were doing a little bit of juggleing here and bringing five on and actually closing out the three and its never a dull moment. I just want to take this time to actually show you value. There we go. Good. So when you see this and if you scroll council there are Home Ownership opportunities theyre here can you sign up for the email housing alert and if youve clicked here and put in your income it will tell you if theres any available units for you right now today and you click c listings and it will show you all of the listings that are currently available and currently available weve got Alice Griffith apartments phase 3 and it lifts the units and how many the minimum income is and thats what people want to know what is the minimum income and how much is the rent. The details of it, are going to give you all of the more detailed information about the units and maximum income limits, for twoperson households, mack mum income is 38. 45 a month and 46, 150 a year it tells you how many people you have to have in your household to qualify for these bedroom sizes and it tells you what the lottery preferences are for these units and certificate of preference, displaced tenants. Live work and San Francisco and it tells you if they allow rental assistance and it gives you anything else that you need to know about the eligibility rules. Its pretty sweet. Very sweet. It else you everything you need to know about your Credit History and if you click it will give you more information about Credit History and it will take you to the fair chance ordinance so you know your rights under article 49 in the police code and it goes down to the amenities of the building and the project and it tells you how much the application fee it s and what is expected in to for a deposit and tells you about the neighborhoods and gives you a map and details and it gives you information what you need to come in and after should you be lucky what theyre going to call you to bring in and it was all there and important, well, to know how many elemented Parking Spaces there are so that you can it is comprehensive and its helping and helping our councillors as well because theyre able when they have someone sitting in front of them theyre able to look and see what weve got going on i just wanted to quickly go in and i know im going to go quickly, one more again and one more again and go back again the Home Ownership opportunities are listed here. The home opioid are on the website theyre not currently on dalia theyre set to come early next year in the First Quarter so right now theyre listed in a separate place and im thrilled weve been able to bring dalia online and people are gaining from it and we will be happy to say that weve had our one million visit to the dalia website this week in the 1617 fiscal year there were over 85,000 applicants to 1,015 units that came through our Affordable Housing system and our lottery. Thats a lot of people we still will beat new york we have to beat by hundreds and hundreds of thousands. And how do i do this. Im going Non Technology and i go back to power point. And so im going to switch gears a little bit and speak more quickly and the i just wanted give you a little reminder of the certificate of Preference Program and households that were serving and there were over 5,000 households that were displaced originally with that we have identified and we are in contact monthly every time a unit goes and comes to market with about 181 of the households and we think that there are we know there are 1,618 that are deceased and we dont know how many more are deceased but we know there are more deceased certificate of preference holders than we are aware of and we are updating our numbers all the time but ace said sometimes the unknown is due to that. There are 1,657 certificates of preference holders that are housed in San Francisco housing. Affordable housing. And they can use it once for Home Ownership and once for rental housing and there are 384 people that have never used their certificate but theyre not actively looking for housing and there are 215 Certificate Holders that applied for housing in 1617. Those 215 actually submitted 258 applications and to multiple properties and we issued 55 new certificates in 20162017 and we were able to house 43 certificate of preference holders. We have seen after over all increase in the number of applications to all Affordable Housing since dalia so it seems to go along that certificate of preference holder are finding it easier to find as well. The larger numbers in the fiscal year 1516 are due primarily to out reach done for dr. Davis for that development and we even increase those numbers and i think it truly is because its easier to apply now for our certificate of preference holders. And there were 43 households house inside 21 of the 43 were house inside ocii projects and 22 were housed inhouseing Community Development projects and there were 19 folks that lived outside of San Francisco that when they were displaced they went outside of San Francisco that came back, hallelujah. Sam pablo, richmond, elk grove, san jose, hayward, san rafael, berkley and all those people to our city ex council tee of San Francisco. So what happened to the folks that submitted an application but didnt get housed. 172 of them. There were 24 that were under income, we, as you will remember we were having a Great Partnership with the Cue Foundation that has a rental Subsidy Program that has been really helpful to house certificate of preference holders. The program ran oust their subsidiaries in mid of this year so we were unable to access those subsidiaries, they did get reunder and they currently have certificates and its not too dismal for 17 and 19 that subsidy to get housed and 28 of them were over income, its a fine line but those folks keep applying they will find something and request higher rental, higher a. M. I. Served in many Affordable Housing and there are 17 folks who were underage and they applied for seniors and they were seniors so and they didnt get housed this time but it gets older so they keep applying theyll eventually get one and then there were only and im saying only, because out of 215 households there were only five denied due to credit or other eligibility of criteria and perhaps they were evicted and rental history and there were only five households and Senior Community or other access to housing agencies that are helping people fix credit or address its the folks that withdrew or didnt ponte so we really looked at this and how come so many people, 98 folks changed their minds or stopped answering the phone when they submitted a a application and what we really looked at and weve met with agencies working with bay bay view and we really think that folks are, once theyre changing their minds because once they see the units, maybe they dont meet every, meet the criteria that they have where they want to live and they are housed so theyre not in urgent need so if they find out theres no parking, and they have applied, they might change their minds and wait for another unit to come available that has parking and if they find at the rent is they find out that the rent is not a unit that is paying where you pay a third of your income and its a unit which is a priced higher and you have to have a minimum income to be able to afford that rent. They find that out and they werent looking for that type of a situation and theyll drop out or they will refuse the unit. And then theres the location now that its easier apply to Affordable Housing folks are applying and theyre looking at the location and they decide you know what i dont want to live in that neighborhood i would rather live and as the survey we reported to you guys earlier this year the survey that we did certificate reverence holder many said they really want to live in western edition or bay view and we had many people drop oust even dr. Davis, that opportunity to live at willie b. Kennedy in the western edition and so folks have options and they are wanting to use their certificate when they want to use it they know the value of it and are making choices that are right for them. We reported to you earlier about fiscal year 1617 how many preference holders were housed and there were 26c. O. P. Holders housed at dr. Davis and 12 at Pacific Point all together and those happened in over a long period of time and so 21 folks were housed in 1516 and five in 1516 when the units, when the building finished lease up and at Pacific Point they were 815 16 and 4 in 1617. Recently, you received a report about a couple of developments that closed in early fiscal year 1718 that leased up in 1617 and one, was hunters view phase 2 and there were 106, one, two, three and four bed almost units at hunters view and its Family Housing and 80 of those were 106 were set aside for Hunters Point redevelopment replacements and there were 26 tax credit units that came through the lottery system the John Stewart Company was the developer and there were 1,946 applications for those 26 units and eight c. C. O. P. Holders applied and three were housed. The other development that we were pointing and they were priced for families at 80 a. M. I. And linar had 85 applicants for 16 units there were one certificate of preference that applied and my slide says that they applied, they were over income and they were initially determined to be over income and they appealed and when they appealed the mayor s Office Housing of Community Development stand re looked at their income and determined they were not over income. Here is the requirement for a developer, developer when a household appeals the developer has to hold a unit a com rable unit during the appeal. And that is what linar did, the household, there were two and three bedroom units going on at this time. The household they picked unand linnar held one unit and it wasnt the household wanted and so when we reviewed their appeal and said ok, you are income qualified the household went back to linnar and when linnar said im sorry this is the only three bedroom unit we had, the household said never mind so theyre going to wait until another phase down the line when they can see the three bedroom unit that they want. Another completed project was Alice Griffith phases 1 and 2 this was 128 or 184, 1, 2, 3 bedroom rental units and 68 tax credit union its the rest of them were Public Housing replace ments and this is Mccormick Baron salazar and we had 278,000 applicants for the 68 units and 25 preference holders that applied and five of them were housed. Ill give you you will get more in depth reports on these two projects in coming months. As they finish. The next project i want to talk about is that recently completed which ill report more in detail later, is mission bay boulevard north which is called 588 and the name of the development that is 198 one and two bedroom rental units the rents ranged from 1,090 to 1576 per month and this is a related Management Company project and we had 4,000 and 65 applicants for the 17 certificate of preference, im sorry, for the 198 units and 17 c. O. P. Holders that applied and sixth that were housed and theyre currently lease are or they finished leasing it just very recently. In progress were working on natalie trance bay block seven that lottery just happened and theyre currently leasing there were 6,571 applications for 95 aint and this was the First Development that people could apply through dalia and trance bay black seven there were 10c. O. P. Holders that applied and were also working on Alice Griffith the application deadline. Just passed. Its coming december 22nd. The shipyard clock 56 and 57 are all of the units are currently in escrow and by windsor and those units, those were 26 units and we had 888 applications and there were eight c. O. P. Holders that applied and well find out the outcome of that in a future report. My last slide is just to talk a little bit about race and ethnicity in o. C. I. I. Projects in general and not certificate of holder but in general but for the project that were completed in 20162017 so looking at dr. Davis and Pacific Point and there were 126 African American folks housed in those three developments and 100 alone at dr. Davis and there were 16 latino households folks that identified as latino in Pacific Point and dr. Davis and 72 town send all three and 23 asian folks in all three of those and those are the highest numbers of race eth and nice tee in coi projects that completed in the 20162017. What are we doing now . Well besides juggling all those lease ups and lotteries were continuing to work on dalia and home opioid were hoping to get the home opioid listings as i said in the beginning of 2018 were working on getting home opioid applications in dalia and those will come soon in 2018 and beer doing followup with the certificate of preference survey and pam is taking the lead on that and we have a lot of great activities planned for followup to this survey and among them, out reach through kay pew you all suggested last time and continuing out reach to faith based groups and we are wanting to ex back to you with adoption of amendments to the ellis act Housing Preference and other Preference Programs that weve discussed and we will be coming to you with that in 2018. That is all i got for now. I think pam wants to wrap it up and then well take your questions. Thank you. So we will be back in the spring of 2018 to give you an update on the c. O. P. Survey items that we initially discussed in september of this year. And also i hope you all have been receiving the out reach post cards that the c. O. P. Holders are reaching and also, because we wanted to let you know that we did hear you about wanting us to do out reach to c. O. P. Holders, o. C. I. I. And most of these staff will host a c. O. P. Information stable at the Multi Purpose Senior Services Holiday Party at the dr. Davis center and that will be on december 15th in the evening so if you are available please come by. And i think that concludes our presentation and we would be happy to any answer questions you have, thank you. Thank you very much. Before we take questions from the fellow commissioners, do we have any speaker cards madam . Secretary. Madam chair we have two speakers cards. Oscar dreams. Oscar james those steps coming from the rear kind of look like im racing a race trying to get up here. Anyway, the certificate purpose cards i brought mine they do send them out and i have four that comes to my house four of my illegal tenants i call them received the certificate also so they are doing a good job. I seen this thing on tv about People Living in these units and i know you see it on the news and i want to make sure the director of certificate of preference makes sure she keeps her job because shes doing a good job. When something comes up and they say the records of a project are the first one to go they are doing a good job, theyre reach ing out to the community but i have a problem and i want to bring it to the senior sitting up there, commissioner singh, when they had the Re Development commission we were trying to get grandkids of Certificate Holders put on these Gift Certificates and i would like for you guys to work on that to try and get the grandkids because like the lady before me and im bad on female names because i didnt have no sisters, but we want to try and get a she made a statement that a lot of the persons who were Certificate Holders has passed and they still have grandkids and what have you that were relocated and some of them may not even have been born like i have a son that wasnt born as a certificate holder but you know, he is looking for a house also. They need to have a preference on certificate of preference because of their parents and grandparents have been relocated out of western edition and Hunters Point so i would like you to look in to that to make it possible and i know a lot of games was played when i was taking place but the commissions at that time was trying to get that passed and we want to try and make sure that that happens and another thing is a lot of people dont know that you have housing corporations and dr. Davis seniors who help peoples in getting their credit and things together to get these houses and that needs to be publicisted when they brick bring up presentations that they can go there and get their credit, im not looking for a house, i have a home and i might be two or three payments away from maybe loosing my house and i would probably be using my certificate, but that is just a joke. [laughter] you know, but there are people in that situation that may have a home or Something Like that and lose it and they have a certificate, you know, where they may have to get their credit up to standard and they can go to these places because theyre there and they do a good job because i know some people who went there and thank you very much. Thank you. Ace washington. Im bringing it way back the western edition projects area committee. And before they went under and i brought it back we created the way back facts and im going to have to bring it back was trump talking about fake news and alternative news, we get a lot of that in the community, a lot of that. Getting back to the certificate of preference that originated from the way back. I used to come to these meetings when mary rogers and the rest of them, sam was here back then and morales they know who im ready to say and we sued for the master lease but we couldnt get it and they say we couldnt get it back then and didnt say yes but now 20 or 30 years pass and organizations like San Francisco Housing Development corporation they used to get up here and raise hell. I remember she told yall to kiss her and pull her pants down in front of you and after that she became director started the first black restaurant down there. And she started this organization that one of yall own from redevelopment now who is the director she moving yall dont know the history but theres no mystery. Ive been working on a lot of cases that involve with a lot of conspiracy and anyway and you are going to clearly see when i get an opportunity to come up here and give you a wonderful presentation and things you probably dont even know. My name is ace and im having a new tv show its going to call this week. Madam chair there are no more speaker cards. I will close Public Comments. Questions, comments from my fellow commissioners. Commissioners singh. Thank you madam president. And you did a good job this year thank you. We appreciate that. And happy holidays. I didnt know that we are the only one meeting but you know, that is good though. Yeah. Thats enough. Do have any comments on maria benjamins. Its ok. Its ok. Ok. Could be better. [laughter] commissioner rosales. I want to thank staff and maria and her staff for the report and i always love getting these statistics annan anecdotes and it feels like i said before like its worth it being a commissioner, spending, you are not leaving are you . [laughter] im not leaving. Were almost done. You are late. I just want to say thank you i know that we have one more meeting in december by the way i think. We have a meeting . We do not . I thought i heard december 19th. No, no. Its not an action item that we dont have a meeting so i want to say, i just have a few questions, the Cue Foundation ive asked this question before, i would love to know more about them because im so impressed with the work that they do and i feel foolish and being done and i tell folks this organization and program and i know you mentioned that and describe them to us in the past and i think that they and the other bay view and i want tem this trying so that i didnt use the actual rhythm and bay view and. Here we go, here we g the Multi Purpose Senior Center inc and i mean these organizations come up repeatedly as doing some pretty good work so some pretty spectacular and i would also want the Cue Foundation and extending support and once upon a time the original core mission that is correct. They still have the mission of providing rental subsidiaries for permanently disabled folks and very low income people seniors and and our c. O. P. Holders fall in to their mission and helping those communities but they are targeting our certificate of preference holders prioritizeing certificate of holders when they have and they set aside rents subsidiaries for our folks so its been a really Beautiful Partnership and brian is there and he has time and time again fought really hard to continue getting more subsidiaries from the city, the city gives the grants from the subsidiaries and its never enough, its never enough. But were working very hard together and the question i have is i guess i dont quite get if in each one of these lotteries now with dalia which is fantastic, there are some certificate of prep rans holders that a apply which is fantastic right because its a huge, huge first step and then are not successful why are they not matched up with opportunities that are in the pipeline coming up i mean do they really need to then reapply. They are matched up and they are, the system doesnt match them up, things change and their income and my change even if its slightly than we need to know that or their household size might change maybe before they were going on their own but now theyre going with another Family Member and also the a. M. I. The area meeting income changes so that maybe they didnt qualify and maybe they were over income by you know, 100 last year but now with the increase in a. M. I. They are able to comply or having said all that they have to insert their income information but if they create it will ought population their information and they dont have to go through it again and but income they have to put in each time there isnt a matching yet, i know this concept of opportunity and candidate. We absolutely that have that twinkle and before you were a twinkle in my eye and that is absolutely one of the twinkles in our eye we want to make sure that we can do that eventually and our prioritize getting Home Ownership applications on dalia first before we begin that work but it is yeah, it makes sense like if you put your information in there and theres an opportunity that spits you you get an email here press submit is we are really going there eventually. The good news for mission bay , is that there were households that did apply, c. O. P. Households that did apply in a previous lottery we noted they were over income because that project was coming on and it targeted higher incomes we made a special effort to target those five over income c. O. P. Households. Before brooke barber transferred off this project. Thats good news. Zoneia mack daniel is our new certificate of preference and i didnt give her a shout out before where i should and shes really been able to infusion new energy and some new connections with communities groups and certificate of preference holders that i think is really i praise her for that because chef spends a lot of time on the phone and folks and building relationships and house people and when they have and problems and a response quickly reach out for those opportunities and we get notifications of these opportunities and ive been at parties, events and people talking about all my kids and my college age kid and cant find a place and here theyre from here and its effective to have it and thank you. Thank you. Well i cannot thank you enough for this report. And im also very happy that finally dalia is working and thank you for the demonstrations now i can forward the links, the link to those who are interested and i echo what commissioner ros ales says hopefully theres a match because it seems to me that you really should, as an applicant, stay on top of your open indications and keep on reapplying until you qualify and i thank you for the efforts that you and your staff have been and of course, you know, our staff at ocii for working together and working with the c. O. P. Holders because this is a way of making sure when we displace them and were helping them get house again and im happy to note that there were quite a few who came back back back to San Francisco back home and theyre applying and were doing our best to house them so thank you for that report and if you pam and jeff for the report and this is a wonder of meeting and what is next on our agenda . Thank you. Madam secretary, please call the next item. The next order of business is item 6, Public Comments on non agenda items. Madam chair. Public comments. Do we have any public speaker cards. We have two speaker cards. We have oscar james. You are waving your he is not only physically he is waving. He is waving his oh. [laughter] he is waving his speaker opportunities. Oh, ok. Ace washington. He is not waving. I promise to be just three minutes but i want to express to you, im hearing in the air that you guys are canceling your meeting on the 19th. And i brought documents for yall. First time i put something in writing and im going sign it right here but i already delivered it to the mayor, board of supervisor and ocii mayor office of Human Commission and all of these departments that are now dealing with the addition. And now yall now it was a complete circle and twoyears time its back in your hands. The addition, oh yes from my understanding, see thats what im saying, you are responsible and have the obligation to come to our community and yall to say you are so dis respectful to me and i come here for for a number of years before you even changed your names. I came up here before your director was your doctor or and she had to go to another place and had yall this close to coming to the community and having your commissioners meeting and a letter came up from london breed and says shes going to take over and that process is over and they failed us. They failed us miss ra blee and every department, on this piece of paper and im assigned to give to yall and respectfully asking yall to come to our Community Next on the 19th. To just explain or talk about what the tell is going on at the addition. The last component closed two weeks ago and 1300 and the last they say the recipients of the money they aint been paying no money but two days ago, there was someone in the building there having a private party so why in the hell do they get to have private parties and we cant go in 1300. Theres two double stands address. The other request is im asking for all hands on deck to the mayor, all these departments, must come and tell us what is going on. Now, if yall dont feel you are obligated to that im going to sacramento, to stop before this procedure started this year because obviously Governor Brown dont know what is going down. The black population is going down in San Francisco. All right, you heard. When is the last time youve been in the community . So i want to make it crystal clear, this letter is going to yall and its going to every department and my next letter will stay at the bottom but severely because im going to court and if due come in to the community its not a threat, theres no obligation you dont give a dog gone about it and you have an obligation to tell us and your director says you are not in charge, yes you are, that building and ive been told by o cii i mean, oewd is back in charge of yall and if you dont know you better ask the mayor and if the mayor dont know, im going to go ask jerry brown. Because this is too much. Yall could come out there and have a meeting right there at 1300. I have facilitated and i ran a Security Guard and yall need to come out there and it doesnt reflect on whether the Commission Said lets go. He said yall aint. My name is ace and im on the case.

C. O. So theres more lottery will start in january and then we actually got responses for the r. S. P.
