Build bikes specifically for each individual. We care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. When people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. Its a pretty fun shopping experience. Paragraph. For me as a designer, i love the control. I can see whats going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. Going through the suing room, im looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look . Is this what shes expecting, maybe if weve made a customization to a dress, which we can do because were making everything here locally. Over the last few years, weve been more technical. Its a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a Small Business owner. Sometimes its appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. We need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. Moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how theyre going to use it, whether its the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so thats the direction i hear at this point. The reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that were sharing the opportunities that weve been blessed with economically and socially as possible, please stand by please stand by please stand by please stand by preston please stand by please stand by please stand by please stand by its a pleasure and honor and a joy to be part of this celebration. When we do these grand openings, theyre celebrations and they are also acknowledge. No one institution can create the Affordable Housing we see here and so i want to begin by asking mayor breed, thanking you for your support and to share a few words. Yep. [laughter] thats it. All right. Wow. Thank you all so much for being here today and im really excited about this project. Especially because i used to serve on the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency commission and i remember when mission bay was just taking shape in San Francisco and the conversations around the housing that we know would be built here and we fought really hard and because of that fight, 30 of all the new housing will go to support families that are low and middle income residents. Which brings us here today. 143 units of Family Housing and Senior Housing for people who in some cases were displaced long ago. I grew up in the western Edition Community and there were a lot of mistakes in that community. Homes were torn down. Promises were made and no housing was provided for those people and families. In these 143 units, of Affordable Housing, we have 10 certificate of preference holders. Which is absolutely amazing. [applause] when i served on the San Francisco board of supervisors, i was excited to help pass legislation to address a real problem around displacement of residents through either owner movein elections, ellis act evictions and sometimes in the cases of fire. Because of that, we are residents who are asking living here who fit the bill and qualifications and now have a space affordable clean, nice, beautiful things place to call home. Providing Affordable Housing is not providing a place for people to stay. Its about building a community. Its about supporting a community. Making sure there are creditable services that provide resources to the community. Im excited about a26 va lynn see a and well join the ground floor to support young people in this community. This is absolutely amazing and i never get tired of coming to events where we are celebrating housing for families, housing for seniors, housing for people who need it the most. What is even more exciting is the fact that this property, unlike so Many Properties that we see being developed in San Francisco has two and three bedroom apartments. I know that was such, i read the stories from so many of the residents who talked about their challenges and their experiences and their need in terms of the displacement but also their need to make sure that they have housing and enough room for their families. And so thats why this project is so exciting. This is really an example of what we need to do to provide Affordable Housing to families and folks from low and middle incomes in San Francisco all over this city. So i am just here to celebrate with all of you and to i guess people have already moved in so well do a ribbo ribboncuttingy because why not celebrate such an incredible milestone because it means a better life and future for so many families. It means an opportunity to be part of this Amazing New Community with ucsf and the t3 line and t third. Whatever they call it now. And all of the great amenities that exist right here in mission bay. So so much to don falcon for all the work you all continue to do not just be a nonprofit developer, but be a Community Builder. A Community Builder that sustain communities for years to come and thank you for being here to celebrate this incredible milestone, the architects, the developers, the engineers, all of the people that make this a place we can call home. Thank you so much for being here today. [applause] thank you so much mayor breed. You honor us with your words. Please, welcome one of the Community Residents here, jesus. I want to share a story that has helped me move forward. 400 in the 1992 olympics in barcelona, a young man was able to win the race and the gold medal. However, at around 250 meeters. Judge s. L. Neal meeters into the race, he was in pain. While the medics made his way to him he had to decide if he will finish the race in pain or just stay down and give up the race he had trained so hard to win. So despite the pain he stood up and began to limp along the track, even though the pain was unbearable he finished the race. His name is deric redman. This is a story that has inspired me to my darkest moments. Let me share with you a bit about how my journey began. My name is jesus and i am mexican immigrant. I left my home in mexico in april of 1992 to come to america and seeking for a better life. I came empty handed with only the clothes on my back. However, in may of 1992, my life changed in a second. I was hit by a train while on my way to seattle, washington to work in the fishing industry. It was around midnight so they didnt find me until the next morning around 7 00 a. M. They took me to Highland Hospital in oakland where they told me i will never be able to walk again and i was going to be paralyzed. I spent two years recovering at highland and at the facility. Not knowing what was in store for me in the future. When i was discharged, my eyes were open to my new reality. I realized i was homeless, no skills related to work because of my disability. I was all by myself, no family or friends. Eventually i was connected with a Booster Program that helped me get a stable housing unit. My Mental Health however didnt get better. I was living by myself and feeling isolated, depressed and hopeless. I also tuned to people for support. I ended up using alcohol and drugs to cope with my depression to help my life and my time living alone. Fortunately, with the social work program, i was referred to 626 Mission Bay Housing and this great organization. Here i am blessed to have a apartment to share with my mom and dad which allows me to have a Family Support system that i needed to be able to focus on my goals and recovery. My social workers has also been tremendous men doesltremendousl. Its never too late to obtain an education and be a member of the society. Now im beginning to dream again. Currently i have returned to Community College and take classes in hopes of becoming an architect. My hope is to build shelters and for those facing homelessness in the city of San Francisco. Because of the support and safe housing im able to focus on giving back to the beautiful city that has given me a lot. My current goal is to volunteer at the local ucsf Childrens Hospital at 826 valencia next door. I want to thank my church and pastor, social worker, parents and my whole family for always believing in me, even through my darkest episodes of life. Remember, when the darkest hour comes to you its because a light bright of a new dawn is approaching. When the storm is hitting the hardest its because the clouds are approaching. Dont give up. Finish the race. [applause] thank you so much, jesus. Every person in this room is here because of you and people like you. Thank you. Please, join me in welcoming supervisor matt haney. [applause] well, first of all, thank you jesus for those powerful words and thank you to all the residents and all the staff who make it a tremendous place for residents. I want to give a huge thanks to tnbc and to don faulk. Ive been supervisor for five months and ive been to two ribbon cuttings and they both have been tndc ribbon cuttings. Not only that, both have not been in the tenderloin so i represent the tenderloin. We had one in south of market and one in mission bay and it demonstrates how critical and important housing developer you are and not just in district 6, not just in the tenderloin but through out our city. Thank you so much mayor breed. I know you are working hard to make sure we have Affordable Housing and Affordable Housing for families. I have the opportunity to serve on the board of education for six years and the thing that i heard more than anything when i visited our schools, is that our families and our kids are struggling from housing and stability, if you dont have a safe and stable place to live, its going to be hard for a young person to achieve in school to be well socially and emotionally and so investing inhousing, especially for families is one of the most important things we can do for the future of our city. Im so excited that the Mission Bay Community is going to be a place that has a balance of affordability and we have made amount of mistakes in the past when it comes to housing and displacement but when you build a new community, like we have here in mission bay, we have the opportunity to actually get it right. So thank you to ocii, thank you to everybody who has made sure that we have affordability in mission bay and that mission bay is being built through families. Right here will be such a hugely important thing to make sure that families can thrive here in mission bay. And the last thing i want to say is not only do we have 826 valencia here in this building, well have a School Across the street. It was one of the last things you can clap for a new school. [applause] this will be the very First Public School built in San Francisco in about 20 years and its going to be right here in this community in the parking lot. Theyve gone out for design and architects and all that so its happening and the funding is there so i cant wait to see when i and down here and we see kids who can walk directly across the street from this building to their school here right in mission bay and a wonderful, beautiful building in a community that is going to be such a fantastic place for families and for all of the residents who get to call this place home. Thank you to everybody who made it possible. [applause] thank you so much supervisor haney for all your support in this work. Wells fargo played a crucial role in the development here. Please welcome geoff bennett. [applause] thank you so much. Its a pleasure to be here. Were thrilled to be part of this wonderful project and congratulations to tnbc and the city and for all those who worked on this project. I was kind of in the trenches with a lot of the details for the loans and i know it was not an easy task. We spent a lot of hours and a lot of Conference Calls and worked through some challenging issues. Im looking at colleen who did a lot of work on that and did a terrific job. [laughter] weve had a great relationship for 25 years now and done some Amazing Things together and we always lev working on projects so thank you for having us on this one and just a couple words. Were the construction lender and were also the low Income Housing tax Credit Investors and well be a limited partner for 15 years on the project and we provided the equity on the project. Other ford able housing a big deal and its been decades and we take it very seriously and its a big commitment and i work in a group that does nothing but Affordable Housing everyday of the week and were putting up big numbers. I know we should put up bigger numbers but just to give you a sense we have a billion dollars to Affordable Housing in the bay area that covered about 42 developments and were finances six new projects here in the city right now. About 400 minute yu 400 million. We got a new one from don yesterday. Were hoping to do a lot more in the city and a billion dollars has been committed through 2025 for grants, which is a big deal. Were happy to see that and yes, wore thrilled to be involved in big projects like this. I have been a longtime San Francisco residents and im a homeowner here and its just extra special to attend things like this in my backyard. We appreciate the opportunity and we look forward being into a lot more like this. So thank you. Thank you, jeff. Stephanie, please come up. [applause] i moved here to reunite with my family and immediately i was struck by the level of homelessness in the bay area. In 2016, a series of unfortunate events involving family and friends and a former employer left me and my family scrambling for help. Through a patchwork of shelters and social services from as far as richmond, i was introduced to tndc. From that moment, my life changed drastically. Our journey from being homeless to being housed was over. Having a place has given my son security and stability to perform well in school and consistency for me to complete my degree. 626 mission bay is more than just an Apartment Building for us its a launch pad to become positive, productive members of society. Thank you. [applause] thank you. Thank you so much, steph know. Yostephanie. You give meaning tod we really appreciate you. I hope you will join me in welcoming colleen ma who was a project manager for 626 mission bay boulevard. [applause] ill try to keep it short. The beautiful building was made possible by all of our amazing partners. From our partners at wells fargo and the Federal Home Loan Bank to our architects and studio and our general contractor its been years in the making to get to finally celebrate the completion of this building. Its pretty wild but i hope you get to look at the acknowledgment list but it scratches the surface of people, staff, engineers, women and more who have worked to make this project a reality. And now that the building is complete, ive had the honor of watching my peer, our site staff work there magic. Marry ellen and tino who are hiding in the crowd or offices have put in countless late nights and weekends to get this building leased. [applause] and they continue to put in the time to keep it running smoothly. Clifton, johnathan, jesse and terry have run miles in this half city block of the building. [applause] to make sure this building functions properly. Key key and natallia meet tenants where theyre at to provide resources and materials. [applause] for some of these tenants, this is their very first home and being presented with such a new space and such a new neighborhood like mission bay, can be isolating and terrifying. Our site staff have done an amazing job of welcoming the space and to this neighborhood. There are around 150 children in this building and growing. Right around movein time last year at least one small child maybe three feet tall was running around dragging their hot cheetos along our white walls. The reality of having families and children in the building hit me. This is no longer just a construction project but this is becoming a home. The partnerships that built this building and freight this building have transformed it no 143 new homes for families and future generations of san franciscans. Its been an honor to be part of it. [applause] thank you, colleen. So theyre just a couple of things i want to say in closing. I think beta is here. Thank you. Can you just raise your hands high. So we are so proud and grateful for 826 valencia and were so proud you decided to come and join us here in mission bay. We have an after School Program and we have been working closely with them for a long time and we just appreciate you. Thank you. The feeling is mutual. I want to convey. We as an organization are very privileged to be in this center of this kind of work. We are not heroes. If anything beer a grateful organization. Thank you to all the people. All the institutions, the staff, the residents, everybody who makes this happen. We appreciate you. Thank you. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 i have been living in San Francisco since 1957. I live in this area for 42 years. My name is shirley jackson, and i am a retirement teacher for San Francisco unified school district, and i work with Early Childhood education and after School Programs. I have light upstairs and down stairs. Its been remodelled and i like it. Some of my floors upstairs was there from the time i built the place, so they were very horrible and dark. But weve got lighting. The room seems lighter. They painted the place, they cemented my back yard, so i wont be worried about landscaping too much. We have central heating, and i like the new countertops they put in. Up to date oh, and we have venetian blinds. We never had venetian blinds before, and its just cozy for me. It meant a lot to me because i didnt drive, and i wanted to be in the area where i can do my shopping, go to work, take the kids to school. I like the way they introduced the movein. I went to quite a bit of the meetings. They showed us blueprints of the materials that they were going to use in here, and they gave us the opportunity to choose where we would like to stay while they was renovating. It means a lot. Its just that ive been here so long. Most people that enjoyed their life would love to always retain that life and keep that lifestyle, so it was a peaceful neighborhood. The park was always peaceful, and i dont know. I just loved it. I wanted to be here, and i stayed. Ladies and gentlemen chair has called the meeting to order. As a reminder please silence all Electronic Devices and stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge of allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Id like to call roll.

In the area of homicides we have had 17 year to date compared to 20 this time last year and 15 down on homicides. Park station has had no homicides year to date so were happy with that. Overall gun violence were down 21 over this time last year it. Represents a change of about 15 gun related incident city wide year to date. Our property crime were down 12 and property crime includes burglary, Motor Vehicle theft, larceny including auto burg ris and arson.

As far as significant events and incident in the past week, happy to report we have not had a homicide in the past week however, we did have two shootings in the city. One was on broadway and columbus and two victims were shot and both expected to survive. The investigation is ongoing. No suspects in custody. The other was in bayview at middle point road at harris street. One individual was shot in that incident. He is in Critical Condition and that investigation is ongoing with no suspects in custody. Ill give a brief report on our traffic collision in the past week. We have a program called vision zero for the public. The goal is sto is to reduce traffic fatalities by year 2024. In doing so we focus on those incident or violations and those traffic corridors where we have the most serious traffic injuries and deaths. Its an initiative going on several years now and we track our traffic collisions to put awareness to the public to put efforts in and what were tracking. This past week we had three major collisions one was a hitandrun vehicle versus pedestrian and the second one was a vehicle versus pedestrian at beach and columbus and the third was a vehicle versus scooter at geary and pole. One is vehicles versus pedestrians. Weve asked our Traffic Company and traffic officers to focus on that. I have someone here in charge of our Field Operations bureau and one thing commander fong does on a regular basis is make sure our control divisions are focussed on Traffic Enforcement including warnings and an education and its an allhandsondeck to get our traffic collisions down to zero by 2024. Significant challenge but were committed to it and hope to realize vision zero in the next few years. Thats my report for today. If you have any questions. Any questions from the commissioners .

Theres i dont know whether you can see behind you but well be doing a power point. Well start with just an overview of what were going to be covering tonight and that will be the district facts. Crime trends and strategies, Traffic Enforcement, Community Partnership and engagement and what we stand for. Theres park station. The next thing is an overview of the district you can see our district is a little over three square miles and overlaps five different supervisory district. The district goes from geary through Golden Gate Park with a small portion of golden gate up to portola up to the divisderro and in the northwest section we have district 1. Supervisor fewer and in the southwest is district 7, supervisor yee is the twin peak area and a significant portion with supervisor mandelman in district 8 and a tiny in district 2 with supervisor stefani. In our district we have many neighborhoods and a lot of Neighborhood Community groups and theyre very involved, very interested in whats happening in their community which is great because we cant really succeed without the collaboration of our Community Members and a truly appreciate all their involvement. Going down the neighborhoods and they all have a Community Group. Ashbury haight and buena vista and hayes valley, midtown terrace, Mount Olympus and twin peaks and upper market. Within our district we have 14 schools not including 9 so i guess we have 23 including three high schools, two middle schools and nine preschools. Nine Elementary Schools and three Senior Housing facilities and 31 places of worship, four major youth facilities and have a population of a little over 62,000 people. The demographics of the population are 5. 6 african american, asian, 14. 9 , hispanic, 9. 9 , other, 8. 4 and a wide population of 71. 2 . Thats an overview of the district. Park station staffing we have four lieutenants and 65 officers and one cadet, three civilians, four psas. Our patrol would be and ive got three officers on my staff. One is a Homeless Outreach officer and we have a team led by a Sergeant Salazar here tonight and my captain Problem Solving Team of six officers and then going to the patrol side we have a day watch which we have one lieutenant and four sergeants, 16 officers and one School Resource officer and one psa on our 112100 we have a Different Number and a night watch we have four sergeants, 14 officers and an Investigative Team which has one lieutenant, two sergeants and one officer in a Shadow Program and actually, two in the Shadow Program and one psa. We also have our vicious and dangerous dog unit comprised of one officer who does an extraordinary job managing dog bites and issues throughout the city. Within our personnel we have many who are specially trained with 67 Crisis Intervention Team trained officers and three specialists, two hostage negotiation officers, two healthy street command officers and two quality of life officers and as i mentioned one service and dangerous dog officer. Vicious. We have foot street and our main focus is haight street and we deploy 12 officers to that end. We have foot beats on the street from 11 00 am to 7 00 a. M. Its not 24 7 but close to i think thats about 20 hours and two designated officers for Traffic Enforcement. Overall we have 85 sworn including supervisors and officers and four psas, three civilians. A breakdown of the staffing, we have 22 supervisors and 18 of which are we have 5 black, we have 18 asian, 9 hispanic and 68 white. The breakdown of genders 68 female and officers we have 65 officers, 14 black and 64 white and 16 hispanic and 6 asian. And then male to female within the officer rank is 54 male and 10 female. Our crime trends and strategies we highlight the community communicated with me quickly and what we do on a daily basis is crime prevention. I believe thats the solution and it really is the way of the future preventing crime opposed to committing the crime and solving the crime. Weve approached this in a number of ways. One is an Educational Outreach approach. I attend many meetings and Community Group asks me im there and i spend a lot of my time talking about how we can prevent crimes. We also my officers are on a weekly daily basis educating the general public, handing out flyers in an effort to educate to prevent being a victim of a crime. Last year we noticed we had seen an uptick in burglaries specifically around construction sites. We developed an outreach program. We created a flyer that was directed at construction sites and my officers when they passed a construction site or see those sites hand the tip out and safe has been a great collaborator and amazing assistance to us in Community Meeting and in general. So not only did we do that we also created a program whereby anybody whos a victim in our district of our burglary we have an officer meet with that individual. And the idea is to go through their home and make suggestions on how just assessing their home to make sure its safe. And we the recommendation for safe to respond out to tell them they have the option of having safe come out and assess and give them suggestions in how to stay safe. Its really i think when people ray victim of a are a victim of a burglary we want them to regain their confidence in their own home. In addition we do an Environment Assessment around every home. So if we see like bad lighting or think shrubs need to be cut back my officer who happens to come out makes the assessment and contacts dpw or whatever city agency is responsible for that particular thing. Again, its about trying to make youre community feel safer and be more engaged in what were doing. I think its also helpful because they then see we actually do care and are doing our job. I think thats been a Great Program my officers have been diligent in following through on. In addition we do the education portion in the news station letter and on social media. We also have the strategy of approaching it from a police standpoint which is the high visibility. Having our foot beats out there and we encourage officers to get out at the hot spots and get out on foot so they are highly visible. And of course all the officers know when i say hot spots, spots where particular crimes may be happening or have general members of the public may have their concerns for certain individuals or locations. That is put on the radar for officers and they do passing calls there. Again, its about the high visibility because visibility is a way of making people seem safer as well as definitely reduces crime. We also have folks in twin peaks which is a good deterrent which is difficult to maintain but we do our best and when officers are up there theyre handing out flyers and educating the public and trying to do traffic stops and trying to be very visible. That brings us to the next is the reduction in crime. When you look at the numbers i think weve done a pretty good job at maintaining our reduction. We have definitely operations every day, every week, every month. They focus on areas that have been brought to our attention. Haight street is one of our hot spots. We do a number of buy busts down there. Probably two a month. We also do operations which is arresting anybody whos got an outstanding warrant. That goes district wide. We do vehicle theft abatement. Thats usually theft from vehicles typically happens in twin peaks on golden gate start and haight street. All the tourist attraction areas. They definitely attract thefts and often its the tourists which are the victim which is difficult to reach out and its hard when theyre not from the city. In addition to that we go down haight street several times a day. A combination of outreach and enforcement. We do outreach to anybody homeless and my outreach officers are extremely compassionate and knowledgeable in all the services the city provides and reach out to every individual on haight street that happens to be homeless but we also have a zero tolerance for criminal activity. I think that zero tolerance and the outreach is paying off right now. It could change but were seeing a significant change on haight stre street. Together with the fact that i mentioned to one of the people in the community that towards the end of april we actually made about 30 felony arrested on haight street. We had over 10 arrests for drugs and the other were where we had felony assaults where one individual was attacked and a person intervened and it was a felony attack and all five were arrested and we sought stay away orders for them and another individual who was a victim was aggressively pan handled and turned around and told the guy to stop and five attacked him and we were able to get stay away orders for all of them along with the drug dealers. I think having the reduction of that number of people on the street has had a Significant Impact on whats happening on the street.
