Here and i would really, really hope that, you know, any of us who are qualified to be able to serve on the seat and i will be so happy. Jennifer is great. Ive been watching her and shes my neighbor. A lot of people, william, who couldnt be here. And anybody who could serve, i would love it, with all of the qualified people. But if i could have that chance, i would be more than happy to give of myself to do this work. Anybody have any questions . Im so nervous. [ laughter ] youre all do such a great job. No reason to be nervous. Are there any questions . No, it was perfect, thank you so much. And next is charelle jackson. I know its just passed thanksgiving so happy thanksgiving. Ive been doing any soulfood cooking. I have a fasters degree in political science, Public Policy and i have a bachelors degree in psych and sociology and i work for connor house, a nonprofit organization. We serve Mental Health and Substance Abuse as well as supportive housing, as well as i work on the health and Safety Committee and i work on the Budget Committee for connor house. And so im here today to get a chance to serve on the committee for our city, our home. And i think its really important to serve on a committee thats doing a lot and i think that what i have to offer, day in and day out, services the people that i do service, it means so much to me. I think were serving them in so many ways and to be quite honest, when i see the sort of situations theyre in and what i can do, i can do much more at a larger capacity by sitting in a seat. And i see those peach day and i know their storie stories. I know i can be a voice. Thats why im here today. I know you have the information about my background but what im here to talk about is what i can do for them and i know i can make an impact and i know im serious and i hope you can see that, as well, so thank you so much and if you have any questions. Any questions . No. Thank you so much. Appreciate this. And then Julie Ledbetter was unable to make it but sent a letter to the committee. And so i will now open up this item for Public Comment. If you would like to speak on any of the items, please line up to your right. Good morning. Im with the Community Housing partnership and i just want to point out that it would be an incredible misstep to not appoint both jenny and julie. Ive had the pleasure of working with them for decades now and i find their steeped in the issues of homelessness and also have an incredible compassion and a great moral compass when it comes to these issue. They have both workd with organizations that really understand the systems around Homeless Services and are very, very bright, passionate, incredible people that need to be at the table. Jennifer, in particular, because of the constituency, she represents, she works with homeless folks on streets and in the shelters and the organizations approach is about listening to them and having them be a part of the leadership and part of the decisionmaking and so for that reason alone, i think its important to have her have a seat here, but i just have no reservations. As a matter of fact, highly, highly recommend both jennifer and julie and i think that they would be tremendous, tremendous assets. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. Good morning. Im mary kay representing compass family. Were so grateful to jenny for her partnership. Shes a phenomenal leader. I did want to say how instrumental her leadership is in moving policy, increasing resources and improving systems to a better place for everybody, in particular for marginalized communities. Jennifers advocacy is so social to moving this to a place where families can get in the door and get immediate access to shelter when people are pregnant and changing those policies and so we highly endorse jenny for this appointment. Thank you. Im brian edwards. That was so worth it to watch jenny speak about herself. I wanted to run up here and go, no, you dont have to do that. Theres probably no one ive learned more from about San Francisco and how it actually works than jenny. Theres no one who has been more patient and better about making sense of that and ive seen how she moves policy through city hall. Ive seen how she crafts policy and how she can build coalitions and i cant think of anyone better. It could be a travesty and you didnt appoint jenny to this. Theres a couple of Homeless People in San Francisco who have stuff going on but they wanted to speak on jennys behalf. Shes jenny fin freidenbach, appoint this woman. [ laughter ] im here because of jennifer. I mean, honestly. When i heard this was happening this morning, i wanted to be here because i cant imagine this moving forward without her seated as one of the members of this committee. You know youre in the presence of someone youll learn from and spending time around you, you gain experience and knowledge and patience and its been great having the opportunity to work with her. It really has. I know that she is absolutely the right person for this. If you really want the best result, the best outcome and we all do, then she must be on this committee. So i know youre going to do the right thing and thank you for your time and ill see you soon. Hi supervisors. Im sam lu. I was the Campaign Manager for our home prophecy and ive loving this love fest for jenny. We love you so much. Folks before me have said so many of the wonderful things jenny has done executiv and i wo voice support for julia ledbe ledbetter and julie who has been a powerful advocate, particularly for unhoused mothers and young people experiencing homelessness. Julia is amazing and you should seat her. Thank you so much. [ laughter ] is there any other member of the public who wishes to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor walton . I wanted to be the first to say this is the one part of my job that i do not like because we have six qualified candidates that are obviously dedicated and committed to this work. But we can only choose four and so, if we do not make an appointment for you today, i would just say please continue to stay encouraged. Please continue to serve this population and folks who need us in San Francisco, there will be other appointments. There will be other opportunities to serve and i really appreciate everyone who submitted an application and your commitment and your service. Because this work is important. But understand that we do have a difficult task sometimes of having more qualified people than we have seats. Supervisor mar. I just wanted to thank all of the applicants for your willingness to step up to this incredibly Important Role on the committee for our city, our home funding. And thank you for all of the work that all of you have done for so many years. Its truly impressive and inspiring and yeah, i would sort of echo supervisor waltons comments about the challenge of selecting from such great candidates or applicants and specifically, i wanted to encourage ellis chu and Chanelle Jackson to apply for the seats the mayor has to appoint for our committee. And hopefully, you guys will be able to serve through a mayoral appointment. Seat number two, Chanelle Williams and seat four Julie Ledbetter, seat six julie. Thank you for that motion and i would make a different motion but this is an absolutely impossible process. Ive never seen a listing of six more qualifiemore qualified. I think ill just make this easy and second that motion. But i do personally want to work with alison, then, who would be in my motion with the Mayors Office to get appointed because i think we need you both on this body. And so, i will be reaching out today to kanishka who is the staffer in the Mayors Office to see if we can make that happen. Because i believe we need all six of your expertise on this extremely important committee. And so with that, im happy to second that motion, which isnt necessary. If we can take it without objection, that motion passes. Thank you. You want to confirm, miss williams in seat two, Julie Ledbetter to seat four, and to a in seat six. Thank you so much. Thank you.

And ive been serving on the assessment appeals board, which has been a very unique experience because it has called upon my experience and commercial properties, hotels, retail and including residential and ive served with jeff on a number ofs hearings and we have, i think, an Excellent Group of board members. Theres a great balance of appraisers and cpas and real estate professionals. So i really have nothing else to say, figure youve seen my information and like jeff, if you have any questions me, im here to answer them. Thank you so much for your service. Thank you very much.

I served for two terms already so im seeking reappointment no thareappointment tothat positio. I bring my knowledge of San Francisco. I grew up here. I have been selling real estate for 30 years and i live next to sunset 4. What i found aboard thats interesting in my last two terms is that the argument about price based on statistics. Property owners would make arguments on what they know about the property and im trying to put the two together and, basically, understand where theyre coming from and theyre understanding of value. I come from a unique position of evaluating prompt properties ev. On the outside of the street, you dont have the parking and someone is blocking access to your property. And so thats what i bring to the board and to my fellow commissioners. Ive enjoyed my time there and i hope i got reappointed. Any questions . No. Thank you for your willingness to serve.

I welcome the opportunity to serve again and i thank you all for your time. Thank you tor your willingnesthank you tor your fo, thank you for your patience. Good afternoon now.

And once this is over, we will go upstairs. You will see the building, and you will be invited for some appetizers and we will continue to have our speakers upstairs. So it is with great honor and pleasure, and im very humbled to stand here in front of all of you guys to say that we are here [speaking spanish] there are so only people to think. I dont have enough time to thank everyone but i wanted to start off by thinking mayor breed for her support and through all of our ordeal. The board of supervisors, where here today. Supervisor walton, safai, supervisor ronen, they all have been instrumental in the support of us, the save the building coalition, the partners of the consortium, mehta, jamestown, i wanted to thank san ruiz for doing the lastminute last minute negotiation when i gave up. I want to think i want to thank so many people. You are welcome here. This is a place where we are organizing, and forever we will carry that legacy of advocating for the citywide. Thank you for joining us today. I wanted to bring up our mayor to give us a few words. Thank you mayor breed. Thank you, tracy. First of all, theres nothing like having a place in your community to call home. When i grew up in the Western Addition with the africanamerican culture complex , those were the places that were safer we had an opportunity to be part of some amazing programs. And m. Lvs has been that Community Space for over 40 years here in the mission. It started with the help of my Mothers Union and the labourers and the work that they have done [applause] to open the doors of opportunity for people who need a place to go to feel safe and feel secure and develop the skills and develop the language and do so many amazing things, but most important, to have a community. This place represents so much, not only to this community, but to this city. And so theyre what it wasnt even a question as to whether or not we needed to make sure that we provided the necessary money to help secure this facility. It was not even a question with any member of the board of supervisors. It wasnt even a question with the officials who work for the city. It was really about what the community wanted and deserved deserves to have in this neighborhood. [applause] i want to start by thinking Assembly Member david to who you all know came together with the folks from mehta, Mission Neighborhood center and jamestown and through that, those discussions early on, we developed this consortium which stayed consistent and persistent in its pursuit to get the job done, led by this incredible lady here, tracy brown, and the work that she did. [applause] it was absolutely amazing. And so to all of the folks in the community, you made this happen. You came together. You put aside any differences, any issues with the sole purpose of ensuring that this facility is here now and for generations to come, roberto. For generations to come. So i am so honored to have played a very small role in supporting these efforts. Im looking forward to seeing the Culinary Program grow. Im looking forward to the tutoring and a lot of the other things that you have done and will continue to do for so many people who would need the programs and operate right here. So thank you for this great opportunity. But before i walk off because tracy told me to keep my comments to a minimum, i just want to really recognize the work of tracy brown, especially, and myrna melgar, who first of all, two phenomenal women who are relentless in their pursuit to take care of their community. I just want to present a small token of appreciation for the work that you all did to make this possible. In bureaucratic years, i actually said this happened fast once we got going. Faster than most things happen in San Francisco because we understand the importance. These two ladies were instrumental in making sure it got done. On behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, thank you for your work, your tireless commitment to the community, and everything that you have done and continue to do to be such a blessing on so many lives in our city. Thank you so much. [applause] okay. Thank you. Thank you for coming. I also wanted to shout out the chef who prepared things upstairs. The staff of oewd, you are amazing. Thank you for believing in us and also to our legal team. Victor marques is here and the staff of the legal team. Thank you again. Now i wanted to bring up david to. Good afternoon. Are we ready to celebrate . All right. This is a very special day. Thank you for being part of the community that made it a special day. We are on hallowed ground. It was in this spot 51 years ago that latino immigrant workers came together and said, we need a place to call home. I know we have a lot of labourers here. This is also a space where we are under a guardian angel. Her name is russ audio. Name is rosario. We can feel her. Because of her and because of all of us who are here and part of that spirit, we carry on. It was a couple years ago that if you Community Leaders came to me and said we want to you to be part of a movement. Tracy brown, all of you saved mlvs. There are so many folks who i know have already been recognized and i want to thank the mayor of the mission for recognizing so many of these folks. Let me take a moment and recognize another person who play recognizes a bit of an unsung hero. I remember you night after night after night, along with mike, the board, so many of you who are part of this and angels often come in three, as the charlies angel movie tells us. There are three organizational angels that came together with their leaders. Jamestown, led by mirna, thank you. Saintlouis is led by our m. N. C. Led by sam or wheeze and we have louise here from mehta. You came together in a way when i was frankly asked for those who are possible. It took a village. It took not just Community Leadership and nonprofit leadership, but it took a mayor and an oewd department the said, yes, we will put our money where our values are. Thank you. Thank you, mayor breed. It also takes the private sector i know we have representatives. Thank you so much for a four and a half Million Dollar loan to be part of this. Let me just say and conclude with three brief opera observations. It takes a village. It takes all of a sudden together. This is how it gets done. The second thing i want to say is at a time when our latino community, the immigrant communities are under assault from a socalled occupant of the white house and from economic forces that are looking to push us out, we have to stand up. We have to come together in coalitions with families to say, we are not going away, we are here to stay and no one is kicking us out. [applause] but the final thing i want to say is, what is so important for all those here is we know this is a building, this is an institution where tens of thousands of immigrant families and workers are kids and kids are going to walk through. And because of the work were doing here, we are going to be raising not just the next mayor of the mission, but the next supervisor of district nine, the next Assembly Member representing eastern San Francisco, and some day, long after mayor breed is gone, we will elect a mayor of San Francisco likely from a community that was nurtured by mlvs. That is why this is so important this is why im honored to be part of it. Longlived mlvs. [speaking spanish]. [cheers and applause] thank you to the mlvs board. I know some of you guys are just arriving. I wanted to also shout out my family for putting up with me during this year, and now i wanted to bring up supervisor hilary ronen who has supported our Capacity Building for the past few years. Without her, we really could not have survived this ordeal. Thank you, supervisor ronen. [applause] this feels so good, doesnt it . This is truly nothing short of a miracle. Aside from the money that david was talking about, for those of us who took a look at the tangled legal mess that this building was in, i didnt know how we were going to get out of it. I honestly didnt. I had just come into office when this whole thing exploded and bob and some of the mlvs board came to me and said, we have asked david to help us try to figure this out. And i said please, do. Keep talking to him because i have no idea how to fix this mess. But what happened is we got together, or i should say some of the strongest and fiercest and sometimes the most difficult personalities in the mission [indiscernible]. [laughter] [applause] they even brought in victor marques. They got together and stuck it out together to unravel this nightmare that had happened. And if it wasnt for their tenacity, their willingness to stick it out when times got tough, because yes, times got tough and number number of times , without the support of mayor breed, we didnt hesitate for a second and said, im here for you, im with you, ive got you, none of this would have happened. It is part miracle and part a testament to the strong leadership that this community has. And their tenacity and unwillingness to give up until there is justice for their community. Congratulations. I couldnt be more proud of you all. [applause] and victor wanted me to correct the record and say the bank of San Francisco, not the bank of america. [laughter] and i, too, have the certificate for the two organizations that are currently occupying this beautiful and historical building. I will give this to tracy. She will probably want to say it is someone elses responsibility now. [indiscernible]. [applause] okay. Lets move quick here. I wanted to introduce the Jamestown CommunityCenter Executive director me or no melgar. She is here representing the consortium which we share. I also just wanted to shout shot out dr. Garcia who serves on my board. I wanted to bring them up. [cheers and applause] thank you for being here with us to celebrate this historic occasion. I feel so honored to be part of this club. It is amazing. I want to recognize firstly our mayor. [cheers and applause] many folks dont know, but it was her brainchild that jamestown get involved in this. That this collaboration of agencies could save this building with the citys support not only was it her idea that jamestown move here and get involved with this, but she also but the citys money behind it. Making sure we saved this Important Community assets. Thank you for your vision. And also for your commitment to keeping our community in place and our cultural and Nonprofit Institutions strong. I also want to recognize the individuals who put this together. First to tracy brown. [applause] her persistence, her tenacity, or leadership and commitment to the community has led not only to the success of mlvs, it is on a different foot know because of you, but also to the success of this collaboration. Tracy, i have always admired your vision of one mission and of latino unity and collaboration. These are the fruits of your labor. Thank you very much. And thank you to michael and santiago. It is your intelligence, your connections, your keen strategic mind and your longterm planning that has led us to the anchoring of the Mission Neighborhood centers is one of our most Important Community institutions in the mission. And today we celebrate your legacy, your contribution to the reclamation of this space, but also to your support of others, especially me and tracy. Thank you for doing that. Thank you for your support of others in the community. Also thank you to since about to for all of your work that you put in this deal. [applause] and for being here for mlvs when they needed you. And last, and certainly not least, i want to express my vast appreciation for luis and also to caroline. Luis has led the Mission EconomicDevelopment Agency through a transformation from a Small BusinessDevelopment Support nonprofit to a National Leader in the work for the civil and economic rights for latinos. They have been at the forefront of unapologetically Holding Ground for our community, for our culture, for our people, with a community that we created thank you for your vision and for your support and for your incredible leadership. [applause] and also to caroline, whose hard work was with serious diplomatic skills and have enabled not just this acquisition, but the development of the Community RealEstate Development and savings the home of thousands of latinos in this city and stabilizing nonprofit space here in the mission, which we definitely need. Now to the crew. I want to thank kelly, karen at community vision, thank you for all of the time, energy, and support in technical assisted opportunities and investment you provided for this collaborative and also through your stewardship with the nonprofit investment fund. You made magic happen. Thank you. And also to stefani for shepherding jamestown and the consortium through all the technical issues. Last but not least to walking, to the incomparable josh, for all of your support and assistance. [speaking spanish] thank you to Patrick Valentino for your support, advice, and also for pushing us. Thank you so much. And i would lastly like to thank the bank of San Francisco for stepping up. [applause] for providing the financing that we needed to support this effort thank you for being truly a San Francisco bank and for the access and personal attention you provided. Also thank you to cars a permanente for providing the funding thank you to Kaiser Permanente for providing the funding to complete this. We are so grateful for the support. I will leave you with this from my people. [speaking spanish] thank you. [applause] i am going to have my closing remarks. I wanted to shout out our building people. And all the people who have invested in us. Lets get to the ribboncutting. I have someone from mlvs. Lets do it holding one side and someone from jamestown holding the other side. This is a nontraditional ribboncutting because in the mission, we cant just do one person, can we . We are going to all come together to do this. Thank you again to all the mission. I will call up the Consortium Members and call up the mission leadership, the save the building committee, and anyone else who feels invested. Please come up. We will be cutting this ribbon all together. Supervisors, please join us. Board of education, thank you for joining us today. Come on up. [indiscernible] community, anybody who wants to come up here. [laughter] five, four, three, two, one. [cheers and applause] [applause] it did take a village. I was really lucky when i was 14 years old to get an internship. The difference that it made for me is i had a job, but there were other people who didnt have a job, who, unfortunately, needed money. And they were shown to commit illegal acts to get money. That is what i want to prevent. [ ] today we are here to officially kick off the first class of opportunities for all. [applause]. Opportunities for all is a program that mayor breed launched in october of 2018. It really was a vision of mayor breed to get to all of the young people in San Francisco, but with an intention to focus on young people that have typically not being able to access opportunities such as internships or workbased learning opportunities. Money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life and that is what this program is about. Theres always these conversations about young people not being prepared and not having experience for work and if they dont get an opportunity to work, then they cannot gain the experience that they need. This is really about investing in the future talent pool and getting them the experience that they need. It is good for everyone because down the road we will need future mechanics, future pilots, future bankers, future whatever they may be in any industry. This is the pipe on we need to work with. We need to start developing talent, getting people excited about careers, opening up those pathways and frankly giving opportunities out there that would normally not be presented. [ ] the way that it is organized is there are different points of entry and different ways of engagement for the young person and potential employers. Young people can work in cohorts or in groups and thats really for people that have maybe never had job experience or who are still trying to figure out what they want to do and they can explore. And in the same way, it is open for employers to say, you know what, i dont think we are ready to host an intern yearround are all summer, but that they can open up their doors and do site visits or tours or panels or conversations. And then it runs all the way up to the opportunity for young people to have longterm employment, and work on a project and be part of the employee base. Something new, to get new experience and meet people and then you are getting paid for it you are getting paid for doing that. It is really cool. I starting next week, i will be a freshman. [cheers and applause] two of the things i appreciate about this program was the amazing mentorship in the job experience that i had. I am grateful for this opportunity. Thank you. Something i learned at airbnb is how to network and how important it is to network because it is not only what you know, but also who you know to get far in life. During this program, i learned basic coding languages, had a had to identify the main components and how to network on a corporate level. It is also helping me accumulate my skills all be going towards my College Tuition where i will pursue a major in computer science. For myself, being that i am an actual residential realtor, it was great. If anybody wants to buy a house, let me know. Whenever. [applause] it is good. I got you. It was really cool to see the commercial side and think about the process of developing property and Different Things that i can explore. Opportunities for all was a great opportunity for all. We were aiming to have 1,000 young people register and we had over 2,000 people register and we were able to place about between 50 and did. We are still getting the final numbers of that. Over several weeks, we were able to have students participate in Investment Banking they were able to work with our team, or technology team, our engineering 20 we also gave them lessons around the industry, around financial literacy. There are 32,000 young people ages 16 and 24 living in San Francisco. And imagine if we can create an opera skin it just opportunity for all program for every young person that lives in public housing, Affordable Housing, low income communities. It is all up to you to make that happen. We have had really great response from employers and they have been talking about it with other employers, so we have had a lot of interest for next year to have people sign on. We are starting to figure out how to stay connected to those young people and to get prepared to make sure we can get all 2400 or so that registered. We want to give them placement and what it looks like if they get more. Lets be honest, there is always a shortage of good talent in any industry, and so this is a real great career path. For potential sponsors who might be interested in supporting opportunities for all , there is an opportunity to make a difference in our city. This is a really thriving, booming economy, but not for everyone. This is a way to make sure that everyone gets to benefit from the great place that San Francisco is and that we are building pathways for folks to be able to stay here and that they feel like they will belong. Just do it. Sign up for it. [ ] [ ]. My name is Angela Wilson and im an owner of the market i worked at a butcher for about 10 years and became a butcher you i was a restaurant cook started in sxos and went to uc; isnt that so and opened a cafe we have produce from small farms without small butcher shops hard for small farms to survive we have a been a butcher shop since 1901 in the heights floor and the case are about from 1955 and it is only been a butcher shot not a lot of businesses if San Francisco that have only been one thing.
