Has been looked at closely by the city attorney, several city attorneys, and we use that as our guide, the legal standard, to do all the work that were doing. And the last part of your question, its just like the great presentation by the deputy of Police Accountability that talked about the mediation process. Were going to take advantage of the mediation process in terms of some of this process that theyre not happy with with regard to police services. Commissioner dejesus i just have two more questions. Just bear with me. One of the things that weve learned from the homeless issues is there are people out there that have ptsd, people who cannot live in congreggate settings, who cannot be in close quarters with other people, so theres some people who have those issues. I guess i want to know what is being done for those that shelters are inappropriate, and how often does this alternative service occur in the field . Yeah. Thats a great question, because oftentimes, Public Health is at the table. If an officer encounters a situation where the person says look, officer, i would like to go to the shelter this evening, but i just dont want to be indoors, etc. , thats communication that we immediately get back to Public Health on, persons name, information, way to contact them, where they normally are, and we try to make that Public Health warm handoff so we can figure out a way to fix that situation. So commissioners, i would just elaborate slightly and say we do have some beds with the hot team to figure out how to deal with individuals dealing with Mental Health issues. We also try to figure out assessments with lead or some of our other programs to figure out a melody tdical detox. The question people are asking me is what is the justification or privilege fast tracking those on the streets over those in shelter or those who have been waiting . I can answer the part about the shelter beds. Every night, pretty much every shelter bed is reserved, and those are for the 90day reservations . At about 4 00, we find out which reservations will not be used, and then, if we have urgent situations, we can use the shelter beds for onenight stays, and so Resource Centers always refer to those, the glide reservation center, the m. S. C. South Resource Center and Mission NeighborhoodResource Center refer into those beds, so we took a small portion of those beds and make them available to sfpd for a couple weeks pilot. Commissioner dejesus okay. Thank you for bearing with us. I just wanted to say this. I think this may have been on your question on ptsd. The fact that every officer is trained in crisis intervention and thinking through them. We make sure if theyre on the hsoc team, they have to have the crisis intervention training. And the officers that all participate in this, theyre all volunteers. They volunteer for this assignment, and if they want to make a change, we make a change for them because this is challenging work. President hirsch commissioner brookter . Commissioner brookter first of all, i want to say thank you for sticking around and making that presentation. I want to say that all of my colleagues and i are passionate around the issue and we worked as hard as we can to get it right as a commission. One of the things that i want to know that i didnt hear from commander lozar is whats the criteria for joining hsoc . Do they just say hey, i want to be on hsoc . Are they looking at things in their background . Can you just yeah. So we say were looking for volunteers. We put out an announcement, sometimes its word of mouth. The benefit of having a Large Organization is theres many things that people want to do. Officers are interested in traffic collisions or they want to work plain clothes or on a problemsolving team. Well, this group of officers has volunteered for outreach officers knowing its about helping people, and some of those kinds of things. When someone applies, we look at their d. P. A. History, their internal affairs history, their Risk Management history, and then, we make sure theyre crisis intervention trained. And then, we speak about the type of work that theyre about to do and make sure theyre a good fit because we dont want an officer on there that is not a good fit for this program. And then, unlike any other unit on the department where we normally require a twoyear commitment, we tell them, the day you want to leave, just tell us, and well send you right back to your station and well pick the next person on the list. Because if youre frustrated or you lost your patience or Something Like that were all human you dont need to work with us. Well put you back on the foot beat or whathaveyou. Not to put our director on the spot, but i think the d. P. A. Complaints have been fairly low. Theyve done a great job commissioner brookter i do want to echo commissioner dejesuss comments around the data. Id love to see what Navigation Centers and which beds are they coming to, and if theyre going back to the city, what areas are they to the streets, what areas are they going back to . If we could. What i mean by volunteer is asking individual officers or putting out an announcement seeing if individual officers want to do this type of work as opposed to saying im assigning you to this whereas you may not want to do this type of work. So we dont want to assign people, we want to get their permission and volunteer to be part of this team and to say no obligations. And then, in terms of the training, crisis intervention, mandatory. And then, once they join the team, the minute they join the teams, theyre participating in the wednesday meetings, taking advantage of every thats byebye everything thats been presented tonight. So glides putting on some good training. We want to get the officers over there to get training in that regard. Commissioner brookter i just wanted to say that i make sure were getting the right training. Absolutely. President hirsch commissioner taylor . Vice president taylor i agree with commissioner dejesus, we dont have the answers. There are no easy answers, and i really struggle with this because, you know, we talk about everything thats so important, but there is nothing humane at all about having someone who is in the grips of an addiction and allowing that person to kill themselves slowly. Like, that is the least humane thing we can do as a society. When i talk about being in the grips of a drug epidemic, as a nation, we are. We have peoples children and sisters and mothers and brothers who are on the streets in the grips of an addiction, and i feel like we have a responsibility to not just allow people to kill themselves because theyre in the grips of an addiction and theyre not making the right choices for their lives, so its really hard. To the extent that folks have solutions and weve raised so many things here tonight, and issues. I think hearing disposing of a tent in 90 days, if someone doesnt pick it up, how long should we hold on to it . If people have answers to these questions, these problems, id love to hear them, because i dont necessarily know what the alternatives are. If we have people coming and picking up their belongings after 90 days and others dont, how long should the department hold on to those belongings . We dont have the answers to these things. But it is a really complicated problem. Im not going to pretend that i know everything, and i just think its really, really tough, and i think its important that we all recognize that. And i do commend the department for what youre doing. There are a lot of cities that arent doing this, and i dont know that you do everything right 100 of the time, but i dont have all the answers. So i want to applaud the work thats been done, and i want to offer people Real Solutions rather than just kind of pointing at problems because its all a problem. So i would love to hear Solutions Just for my own good. President hirsch thank you. I do want to hear from the coalition on homelessness. I do want to hear from the group collectively, whether you give me one answer or a dozen answers, what is the single most intractable problem that youre facing now, and what is your proposed solution Going Forward . What are you doing to address that issue . And i dont know who or how many people should answer. Ill start with mine really quick. Sorry. Thats how this works. Come on. Well stand, well do this together. Just resources for the officers. Its a work in progress, but having the beds has been great, but the officers need the tools to do the work. President hirsch which what does that mean . Which means continuing to work with our partners in city government. For example, the announcement of the new Navigation Center in the bayview was important. I know we tried to do the waterfront Navigation Center up and running. If i had to call one out, thats the one id call out. Sam peaks with public works. I wont take long. I just wanted to elaborate on what he said, the commander or deputy chief or david. I think beds is the number one issue. Our frustration being out there, seeing the folks that are out there, you know, in need and not being able to actually help them is probably the main issue from public works standpoint because were seeing the same people over and over out there on the street, so i would say beds is probably the main issue. President hirsch all right. So your request would be probably a couple thousand more beds . Yeah. President hirsch really . Its a start. So i think the commissioners have said it tonight. When it comes to addiction, its not an easy solution. I think for the department of Public Health, we want to do as much as we can in dealing with aix did, but we want to meet people where theyre at. Addiction is a lifelong journey. Its a lifelong journey to be able to come and detox, to learn some new behaviors, maybe a nexus with just unhealthy conditions. So for us, i think its really important to continue supporting and funding our groups outreach, knowing how to deal with the population, going ahead and meeting people where theyre ought, going ahead and creating job fairs, and creating opportunities where people can come in the door and feel comfortable so that they can actually receive treatment and join us with that journey. President hirsch okay. Most intractable problem. The most intractable problem is the lack of Supportive Housing for people who need a longterm solution . We used to be able to refer people directly into housing that was deeply subsidized with services from the street, and we are not able to in this moment because of the number of people experiencing homelessness. President hirsch okay. Thank you all. Thank you all for your work and for your presentation. The coalition on homelessness, we are ready for your presentation. Do you guys need a break or do you want to keep going . [inaudible] like, is it at hot down there as it is here . Its crazy. Open the door. Ice cream . Have to be on your budget. Ill do it, at this point. Weve been looking at the issue of the criminalization of homelessness in San Francisco since 2014 in a series of reports. And what ill be presenting to you today is just the latest and across that whole broad area, our main question has been whether or not the punishment of homelessness is increasing or decreasing and how the agencies in the state need to affect that. So i do want to just commend a number of the accomplishments that we have seen particularly in the wings of the department of Public Health, the homelessness and Supportive Housing department. However, we do have concerns of the role of the department of public works and the San FranciscoPolice Department. And as you are getting out with your questions, we are unclear if were seeing a reduction in the criminalization of homelessness and living up to what this ninth Circuit Court of appeals decision, which is still being interpreted, is being accurately interpreted. So what im presenting today is from a series of Public Record act requests which we gained. And this was all gained at the almost a year ago at this time, so some things, as commander lozar pointed out, will be a bit out of date, and were open to corrections. But i will say that we did present this in october at the local homeless coordinating board in march. Nothing was corrected, and i really commend all of you for the questions that you asked for getting data that will help us understand better what the impact of these changes are. So i dont need to go over this because others are. Most of the slides are coming from actual Government Agency documents here. But as many people have said and stated over in more recent documents, the number one goal stated over and over, is this is serviced led, led with compassion, and the goal is to assist as many people as possible with shelter, services, and housing. There is also a commitment to Community Engagement thats been involved in this process that theyve stated in various places, and our concerns is theyre not meeting the adequate goal of assisting the homeless persons, and that is actually decreasing in the actions of hsoc and the sfpd, and theyre not reaching communi Community Engagement. So im going to focus on this first point. As youve heard, this is from the agency rules and responsibilities as it was listed from a slide to a Police Commission in the past. And as you see at the bottom, it says sfpd engagement as a last resort to respond to criminal issues. However, as we heard in the recent controller report, it listed that sfpd is the First Responder to most hsoc calls. And in most cases, the vast majority, there is not a department of Public Health or a Service Provider on hand during these calls. When we asked who is in charge of the healthy streets operation center, this is from their own public messaging, but i wont go over it, because as lozar pointed out, he is no longer the Incident Commander there and its more collaborative. And as they say, ideally, every encampment and unsheltered person would be led with a social service placement, however, its an issue we do not have the capacity to respond to the volume of requests. So sfpd and public works will lead. As youve heard, they want more beds. They want this service led, but we have more sf approximated. In fact when we began the research in 2014, there was on average about 22 Homeless Outreach officers in the city. As lozar just reported, we have 34 additional officers. That means we have doubled the Police Resources in addressing the homelessness in that city. The b. L. A. Report that reported we were spending 20 million back then, its probably much higher, and i would point out that that was not the recommendation of the budget and legislative analysts office. Their recommendation was opposite. And despite that, the resources are lacking. As we see in the areas, our goal is no tents or structures in the city. However, public works and sfpd will not clear where there is a Public Public encampment resolution in progress. Id love too see the date to see the data on this, but when i was looking at the data between january and august last year, it was Something Like 5 of the total of the total engagement of hsoc where these resolutions, were people were getting offered more longer term care and actual, what i would call meaningful, genuine shelter. What does that mean . Yeah. Its a technical thing. The homelessness and Supportive Housing department has what they call an encampment resolution team. This is a highly trained team of officers who will go out and work with an encampment over a number of days and find a good place for them. Ideally, this is how we would address all encampments, but we need to put that in perspective of the total calls and the total encampment responses that are that are that are happening, right . And when theres a lack of that resolution team, its what were left at as what was being described today, an officer, a d. P. W. Officer is having to address this on their own. What percentage is resolved . I can give you the exact statistics, but i have them in an article that might have president hirsch lets hold questions and well have you present and then well ask them. Sorry. As you see in this list here, and this was from an official at d. P. W. , peter lau, theres no mention of public housing, department of homelessness, or housing and shelter plan for homeless. So we have this ideal, but in practice, this is not being carried out. This is a tweet that was put out by the sfpd with a, you know, Police Vehicle with all of these belongings and their messaging is tenderloin homeless officers worked with the t. L. In cleaning up sidewalks and making the Community Safer that we serve, which gives you some insight into their inception of services. So this is just getting you to understand how the Shelter Services work. Commander lozar mentioned they offer a genuine offer of shelter to homeless individuals, and that is key to the ninth circuit decision, to give a homeless person a ticket or arrest them when there is not adequate shelter. Whats being debated is what is adequate. Before two weeks ago, the city was saying adequate is a onenight shelter bed, and im glad to hear they realize this is not working. Now, my question is, is a sevenday bed adequate . Im pretty sure the data will show that people are going back to the streets, and i think a big reason people arent taking the sevenday beds because its not long enough. People were moving into the mission to get the Navigation Center beds. What i see happening is the city actually now watering down those services to offer a temporary holding place. And im also curious to hear from h. S. H. To say once we get them in the shelter, theyre not engaging with services. After 90 days, youre out back on the street. And so we need to also think about this. And so if you dont go along with that, as commander lozar said and i got to go out on 20 ride alongs with lieutenant nevin is there. I think as nevin said, officers are just asking people to moving along. There can be a lot of consequences to that that are negative, as far as people having to shift into unknown territories, people being assaulted upon those moves, having their tents burned down because theyre trying to find a save place to live, a lot of turmoil, but that is the regular procedure. But if youre faced with this issue where youre not going to be able youre not going to shelter and youre being threatened with the tent being taken away, and you saw the option of the property being destroyed, you cant move, youre not going to move or youre going to have your tent taken. So here, we list a number of issues that we find that the Inadequate Services are inadequately offered. [please stand by] 14,000 citations had been given affecting homelessness as defined by the budget legislative analysts office. By 2017, we were happy with the department and working with them and getting those numbers down. The last time we got those numbers it was at 9,000, still a huge number, and a huge cost, most of them unpaid. Since 2017 we have not seen that data. I have been on the phone with the Treasures Office who said the police are not collecting on the data. We should be tracking this. We should be able to see if we are giving more or less citations. These numbers are low. We have heard the citation of 647e mentioned. That is important. That is used to threaten people taking the tents away and taking it as evidence. When i was doing evidence in 2014 and 2015 this was not regularly used at all. This is something we are hearing on the streets and now in data and the prosecutor is not progresses cuting the cases because the threat carries a lot. We have heard, though, that they are using 647e. We have heard as david lazar mentioned in the march hearing they would take tents from people not cooperating with their orders to move. We know there are more officers now dedicated towards homelessness. More dpw workers doing the cleanings which result in the tents being thrown away. What documentation do we have when the tents are taken away. Many people are in the hospital getting food. You try to protect the tent of another person. If that is not your tent, we are going to take it. We have documentation of tents thrown away and the contents in them. Are they throwing away peoples property or garbage in so those are some of the things that i want to put into the picture. One last one was that in the controllers report the main statistic they are measuring the reduction in tents. There was i a 40 reduction. The number of new beds added were Something Like 691. However, we have closed two or three Navigation Centers. I would be interested how many net beds closer to 150. If we reduced 40 of tents of the 5,000 people and only created 250 more beds, we can understand what is going on here. We are taking peoples shelter away. As we have mentioned today people are dying on the street. We need solutions. We need to mott make it worse. Taking the dents away will kill will kill the person who is struck on the street and cant get to the shelter. I encourage the commission to ask the questions, continue asks for more data to get a clear picture how this is working and the impacts of people on the street. I want be to ask you this same question i asked the last group. The most problems and what do you see as the solution the city can implement . I think you can take that on a lot of levels. My favorite answer is Supportive Housing. I would go higher to affordable housing. You heard could ma lazar descrig another tickle. Shelter beds people want. When i was on outreach with officers, they loved when they could get a person into the place they wanted to be. The truth is they couldnt offer that, very rarely because of the services available. In the shorter term. Safe spaces where people can be and not worry about being shuffled around. When you are moving people around as much as we do and the controllers report shows reduce respond times, more Police Officers and dpw workers. That has consequences. Lost medicine, more instability, increases what i saw often times peoples need to go steal stuff from other people to survive on the street and to protect their own property. When you push people around and the whole idea is to avoid complaints. If the police push you around you need a new spot. You dont want to be in somebody elses territory creating tension. Why in the bayview . Asock is more successful downtown and in the tents. It is my speculation. Commissioner. I am intrigued we like best practices. We put this together with the Police Department in the lead. That is great. What is the best practice . Is it having the police leading the process on homelessness . No. I can send you the federal guidelines on encampment resolutions there. Are key things such as enough time for people to plan to involving the Community Organizations and Service Providers. It sounds like they have done very well in collaborating. We havent seen the Community Process that would work more with the Service Providers on that end. There is a number of cities that have taken broader steps. Eugene 20 of all 911 calls with homelessness are Public Health workers. They say we are halting. In santa rosa the court defined what adequate shelter met. 30days taking into account the gender, ethnic and religious backgrounds, reasons people wouldnt be in shelters, pets and partners. We will see how this provides shelter and being able to not threaten somebody that they are going to take their tent or move if they dont have a place where they can feel safe. A couple other questions. That was interesting. If we doubled resources how much are we spending on this issue . I am asking lazar. When he first heard the report as 24 now 24 plus 34 officers. How much are we spending . Talking about salary costs of officers . What is the bill . The overhead mostly is cost of salary. I would have to do the math. Isnt 80 of the budget salary . 87 . To your earlier point there are Homeless Outreach officers providing high visible patrol in areas and doing other things. I want to make that point as well. They help backup officers on patrol. I dont have those exact salary numbers. It is not just salary, you have department trucks and cars and other resources being used. If you take the trucks and not bagging and tagging. If you are going to the dump it is resources and time. If you can get the picture how much we are spending on this. The question is should the police be the lead . Should the police be doing all of the work when we have a collaborative, how much effort do we need to have the police front and center, so to speak. I will do that research, yes. Then it is lazar, one more question. I noticed in the presentation and he told us in 2014 there were 14,000, 2017, 9,000 citations. We dont have data for the last two years. We would have to get the data. We have numbers. The great news those are before the collaboration and before the officers being out front getting people connected. You quoted working with an officer who hasnt done this work in three years. We definitely changed the strategy. We will Work Together on the numbers definitely. The department should consider we should consider the commission whether if the police are going to continue in this capacity if it is worth putting the Work Together for what role and what resources should be spent on this . That is something we should consider as a mission. Thank you. Before you go i would want to ask do you two folks meet and talk frequently . We could have coffee next week, if you would like. Hang on. Wouldnt asoc and the coalition on homelessness have so many interests in common you ought to be meeting regularly . Is there a reason not to do that . That was put to the policy group many times. Recently in the last meeting, it will happen. I know that has been put to the Department Heads. As i mentioned earlier the last meeting was the topic discussion. We agreed that needs to happen . Can we do that pretty soon . We plan to do that. The policy group is the hsoc Department Heads involved. We have an Operational Update every two weeks and Department Head meeting to address whatever direction that we need to give to the operational team. It seems obvious to me. Thank you. Vice president taylor. Commissioner taylor you talk about the ad what shelter. Seven days is not adequate and 30days would be adequate to move someone. I struggle with this. I can tell you, i have a neighbor in the wheelchair who complains there is an encampment on our street and they threaten her for money. A friend from australia was assaulted. It is the only way officers can move is a 30day shelter available. To me, we all have anecdotes. They are dangerous. I can think of two opposit oppoe examples. I have seen the pd move people is my experience. If there is a 30day bed available. That suggests that could be a Public Safety issue. If there is an encampment and the entryway to my building and people are using, we have a different kind of problem in the city. When i ask for solutions, i dont want to hear it, i really want to hear it. That to me seens unworkable. We can talk offline. It is more complicated because if you are able to give the people the longer beds which they need and this is the worry in sacramento right now, all of a sudden what is happening to the shelter supply. As we heard from hsh tonight, there are 10 beds left. At the end of the month or beginning of the month. By next week there will be 100 people in chairs who waited for 4 to 10 hours for a bed and didnt get one. If we start reserving and offering great beds to folk like navigation to the streets this is going to displace other people who are waiting. This was an issue with the Navigation Centers when they first opened. To complicate the picture of the person living outside o of your door and is a Public Safety threat because they are using. When we are moving someone we are increasing their threat of their health and safety by moving them around the city. Tell me why moving someone who has an addiction why moving to a seven be day shelter increased the risk from dying overdose. I mean moving around the city which is the way we are dealing with it now. We are asking people to move. If they go to a seven day shelter bed and some take this and it will be interesting to see the data what happens after the seven day beds. For the most part they are returning to the streets. I dont know the answers. You have the complicated problems dumping into each other. I think we do a disservice when it is like it cant be that moving people is bad all of the time or seven day shelters are bad all of the time. If those are always bad we have no solutions. We dont have a city full of 30day beds. These are good questions. How it is handled today versus two years ago or versus another city. We need more data to determine it. Over the last two years we may have worsened the situation in investing more money in police and moving people more and increasing suffering on the streets, taking tents more and increasing danger on the streets. That is what i would like to get the data to understand better. Good evening. I apologize. Thank you for your work and presentation tonight. I dont have much followup. It seems like you had a lot more questions than answers for the data. That is something we need to address. To the degree the Police Commission can have an impact it is great the idea of you working with the Partner Agencies that have been involved in hsoc. Commissioner dejesus mentioned a working group with the department and some of the other partners. Is that something you think would be helpful and you would be willing to participate in . I would be if it was taken seriously. My hesitation is two years ago there was a task force for the San Francisco homeless Advisory Board can we were invited on. We met and there were some good meetings upfront. Over the year 30 of the meetings were cancelled. Another large number were changed last minute without our scheduling. It was about their scheduling. If this was a Real Partnership and not just going to be sort of, you know, a facade, yes. It was the San FranciscoPolice DepartmentAdvisory Board. It was organized through the commander lazar before hsoc. If there was commission oversight, yes, i would be willing to participate and i know the coalition would be, too, from what we discussed already. If we have a say in ownership of, you know, everybody has got to buy in on this in the city. It is impacting policing so much that i do think that a working group might be a good idea here to just keep the ball like commander laza are understanding. I may be harsh. The Partner Agencies are dedicated people, but getting everybody together and listening to everybody, i think, is always a benefit to discuss as a commission. Thank you. That would be great. I appreciate it. Commissioner elias. I had two requests one is fulfilled having you at the table because i think it is very important that your input is communicated to hsoc. My second request is that the data be provided and you difficult the lead program which has a phenomenal documenting system and i dont know if that is because it is a grant and that data is required. They have a system to tell you how many arrests happen in the district, where they were referred what the clinician was and what the result is. They track it. They have a model in terms how the data is to be gathered, collected and produced to the stakeholders to measure howtule the program is. I ask that you lead out and find a similar system to get the data to see if this is really helping or not. Will do. All officers are participating in lead. Thank you. I will follow up. Okay. Thank you for your presentation. Incredibly heart breaking. Next item. Public comment on this last item. We are ready. I just requested he bring in a quieter fan. That is appreciated by all of us, im sure. I am unhappy with the city. This is no way to treat seven volunteers, members of the Police Department and public. I will make my feelings known to the city. At least i did something about it. Thank you. First of all, i believe the brown act was violated. The materials were not ready in time before the meeting. That is not unusual. First of all, its criminal to arrest people for homelessness. It is a chime. It is cleared by theth district th district court. Go here while we steal your stuff. This is theft. The theft of peoples property and the only home they have. Why dont we go in the encampments and see what the homeless say they need. Why dont we say move out of the way so we dont have to look at them. If you are concerned about drug addiction maybe talk to the sfpd about the raids that are in cooperation with ice maybe you could do something about that. Maybe do something with the fact 70 of the Homeless People were evicted from the San Francisco situation. They didnt come from out of town. Without just cause they cant just see evict people. Capitalism hires police to protect money not people, not communities. The whole system underlying problem is that we are not concerned about the welfare of the people. I know for a fact in articles people that have gone to reclaim possessions have been told to stand out in the rain. There are reports of people taking their possessions in the department of public works and even selling them. This is theft. Not confiscation, not tagging. To continually arrest people that cannot pay bail, cannot afford, you know, the fines given them is just forcing them deeper and deeper into the criminal system. It is appalling, we are not doing our work here. It is shameless, frankly. Next speaker, please. Hello, commissioners and chief. I am the founder and director of the st. Francis homelessness challenge. In 201617 we worked with four large encampments we acted as a liaison. We made a suggestion two years ago for an hsoc like organization. It is missing a key component working with the encampment residents and advocates and Service Providers. People need a place to go. Chris mentioned a couple of of things as solutions a safe space. We are working on a cod code complaint management for Emergency Shelter response a transitional village. We have budgets, the ability to deploy this with political will. We could create a thousand savoringed spaces for people this upcoming year with the transitional villages. It fits with the current Emergency Shelter ordinance passed earlier this year with the department of homelessness and mayors office. These are solutions. Chris mentioned eugene program, the white bird clinics. The police and fire den departmt love this. 66 of the encounters with people experiencing homelessness are with crisis, deescalation expert and certified emt. Savoringed spaces and the model are two things i would love to present to the group. I will send you an email with will links. Thank you. Thank you. I am evan. I have been a resident in San Francisco for seven years. We just saw that value one of hsoc is lead with services. I didnt see anything in the presentation about what happens to individuals who enter shelter through hsoc calls after one month, three months. I didnt see anything in the controllers lengthy report on hsoc. Why are short term outcomes not reported . It might have something to do with the mullin multiple slidesn reducing tents and encampments. The 15 beds earmarked why dont they fill up when there are 5,000 homeless. Hsoc does things with homeless. The beds are bare minimum. They cycling people through the system. They are a leaf so they can rationalize and legalize the daily trauma and that take tents and tarps. Sweep up possessions and Survival Gear and make great looking powerpoint slides how it is improving peoples lives. They can tart the narcannery versal after there were 150 instances of narcan taken. These mass confiscations contribute to the 400 deaths on the streets. If referrals are working lets pay the hot teams and stop treating this as a Law Enforcement issue. Good evening. I am kelly. I am a human rights organizer with the coalition on homelessness. I am thrilled we are here. I am on the homeless coordinating board. I have been asking for the data and information that you have been asking. I have been asking every month for the past year and a half. We are not getting anything. The things in the powerpoint was from sunshine request that i had to start digging there. Is no transparency, no open communication, and we were seeing what is happening on the streets.
