ladder of housing and also market rate housing. we want to introduce additional work force units to the city and introduce additional market rate units. this was created in 2007, and we go mayor newsom as well as supervisor maxwell a lot of credit, because they started the initiative, and they started it the right way, with a task force of the public and private sector, and they laid out the principles. the city also started in addition to the task force, they said they needed investment on our part, so they dedicated $95 million from the beginning to do hope sf, some of which we have already dedicated to hunters view. the balance we will look at to see the balance of the funding goes as we look at the feasibility of the remaining projects. i know we have been talking a lot about the redevelopment agency and its dissolution, but this is a perfect example, this initiative, of what these funds were able to do. $47 million was given to hunters view, was funded. we used to fund the hunters view project. $54 million was funded for alice griffith, said that is the impact the redevelopment agency has had on this initiative and continues to have on future projects. very briefly, the principles are very important to us. at the end of the day, we want to improve the outcome for existing residents, create a thriving neighborhoods, and build quality infrastructure that is going to last forever. now, with regard to the principles, we always want to lead with letting people know that we are doing one-for-one replacement of what is on the site today, that we are going to minimize the displacement, and our goal is to phase the project so we can move residents around the side so they do not have to leave during the rebuilding process, which we hope will keep more people in the neighborhood. we want to make sure we maximize the creation of the affordable housing, which is very important to us, and making sure that the residents are engaged the entire time. policy decisions, feedback, a complete partner in this entire endeavour. some brief background on how it is managed, the mayor's office on housing, as olson said, you cannot do this without being a blend of public, private, and city partnership. we have developed a case management program that exists on each of the sites that were dedicated to this, and this is right now funded solely by the city and solely as a blend of multiple agencies. in addition to that, the private aspect, the team that is working on this is the best in the city. mercy, others, are partners with regard to that, and that adds the private aspect which is very important to getting this done. we also have a great fundraising partner. they are committed to raising $25 million for us, of which $7 million has already been raised, and they finished a process where they engaged 100 additional stakeholders in san francisco to develop their campaign strategy. we are going to focus on helping the residents. so from that stakeholder involvement, we are going to create a strategy that will inform how we will proceed with the funding programs that help the residents. this particular slide is just an overview of being able to share you -- show you the site. right now, hunters view is under construction. the first units will come online between december and april of this year and into next year. our second sight is alex brignac -- alice griffith. that site will start construction in the next months. we're talking about rebuild protrero, and others are in the development planning. there is a very simple concept behind hope sf. we are at lower densities than other neighborhoods, so we were able to have this equal other neighborhoods, and that is how we were able to get net new housing and subsidize the public housing. four of the five active sites are in the southeast sector, so we cannot say enough of our dedication to that part of town, and it is very important for us to make sure that no one is displaced because we know that that part of town is where a lot of low-income and particularly african-american families are, and we want to make sure that there are housing opportunities for them to stay if they choose to. we also know there is a large number of families in the city, and we are pleased to offer work force housing opportunities that will allow them to stay. some of the accomplishments, very briefly, we were fortunate enough in our second project to receive a $30 million choice neighborhoods award for the alice griffith, and we are one of five in the country to receive the award, so we are looking forward to implementing that award over the next 1.5 years and starting construction. we also have one site of construction with 107 units coming on line. we are also looking forward to alice griffith actually engaging to the work. now that we are starting construction at alice griffith, we are putting together a team that will be able to offer services to the residents that we think are so important. and finally, two are nearing entitlements, including sunnyvale, and we will talk more about potrero a bit later. from the leadership perspective, we have a case management team that is fully equipped. we have, as i said, the alice griffith team which is stepping up with the goal of connecting residents to services that exist in the neighborhood. we have a fully functioning service provider network that we actually link the residents to from the case management team, and we also at this particular point are very excited about an initiative we have launched called the leadership academy, where we are at our fourth class of residents who have graduated from that, and we are actually equipping our leaders on each of the sites to better participate in our process and to give us the type of feedback that we need to guide the initiative. supervisor mar: could i just ask, how big is this project compared to the other >> good question. hunters view is 256. alice griffith is to wonder 76. so, supervisor, that is a very interesting question. we are now embarking on the larger development. 136. 136. supervisor mar: ok. what we are hoping to communicate to you is that we are on our way. $7 million raised. in the process of raising the millions, there are other intangible benefits that have come from the fundraising effort. we have a very strong interest from the philanthropic community. we have an active steering committee that exists with some of the most important foundations, with a foundation leading it. we also have the director of the campaign who works on raising the $25 million and working with us to devote the campaign strategy. we are using the campaign, and we are excited to announce that we will be funding this, a very crucial mental health services to those on the site. so what does the future, what is the next 18 months looking like? this is at a point of imitation for us. when the first 107 minutes come on line, this will be our time -- we are walking down a path. we have received a lot of community input. we have units coming on line, and this is the time to talk about this. this will come into play, and we will be doing a lot of policy making around that. from a financial perspective, we will be doing a lot of work with the three sites that remain, sunnyvale, -- sunnydale, potrero. how much we will have to fund the project going forward, and how we need to phase them, considering how much we have in resources. we also need to look at construction because of the financial environment we are in, but, again, we are equally committed to the residents, so we will need to think how to sustain that work with the residence, even in the light of construction needing to be delayed a bit, and finally, we will finally see a full program with regard to the campaign and a strategy that exists for that, and starting to develop a strategy where we can actually get some funds out on the street in order to help the residents in this process. so with that, i will pass it on to the project manager for this. supervisor mar: supervisor cohen? supervisor cohen: where is this in relation to the process? this is specifically dealing with potrero hill? >> we plan to do this in the next year, so there is tons of time for feedback. we will be before you again, and there will be ample opportunity for community involvement at that time. supervisor cohen: would this include a middle-income housing? and just to be clear, this is for housing at 80% of ami? >> work force, middle-income housing, as well as market rate. to give you an example of what i mean about middle-income housing, we think of about 80% to 120%. middle income housing. all of this is not set in stone. we obviously have a lot of planning to do. there are the condominium purchase amounts. we have not set went levels. as you said earlier, we are early in the process, but i think the thinking is that middle band of housing would be specifically for that target population of somewhere between 50% and 120%. the market rate in our initial conversations, it would actually be affordable for families at 120% to buy the market rate. that is to give you a concept. we are trying to make it as diverse as possible. we are trying to make sure that we have equal amounts of each type of housing, too, so you have a blend on the side that makes sense. supervisor cohen: thank you very much. supervisor mar: are we still going to continue the great community building days and the community gardens and the walks and the movie nights? are we going to be able to continue to do those community building activity is proof -- activities? >> yes. we were getting about $166 that we were getting from the redevelopment agency to support our services work, and we have specifically reached out to our campaign partners to say that we know that the community building work is just as important as the real estate work, and we will be turning to them over the course of the next 2.5 months or so to look at community building. that makes sense. we do not anticipate, we do not anticipate having to stop that work because it is really important. banking. -- thank you. sharmaine? >> emily is going to help me out with slides. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is charlemagne curtis -- charmaine curtis. mike responsibilities and ball overseeing entitlements for the project, and just a quick entity a question on the eir, it is being drafted. it has been in progress for over 1.5 years, and we do not expect a draft to be published until the fall. my job today is to condense about three years of work to into a few minutes. i want to go through here. this is more focused on the master planning process, but hopefully you will get a decent sense of both, because the community building work is just as important as the bricks and sticks, as we say. this was selected in 2008 to being the master development. as you can see in this light, it is about 60 buildings spread over 38 acres, and the configuration is a radical departure from the typical san francisco street grid and probably contributed to the social isolation of the families that live there. the demographic information is startling, especially when you look at it in comparison to the surrounding neighbors. the median income is $14,600, compared to over $80,000 for a nearby zepa. it does include south of market, but i do not think it's use it that much. and there are things that come with concentrated poverty, but there are lots of hard working families, many of whom are here today who took time to come out today and a real sense of community among the folks who live there. the next slide is the master plan as it is currently in visions, and this came out of 18 months of dozens of meetings, and the big idea here is to stage this back into the fabric of the neighborhood by establishing a street grid that connects it, and east and west. there are some that show you how this goes through the site and connects to -- there they are. so the typography of this site is really challenging with a very steep grade and severe issues, which you can only get a sense of if you start looking down some of the canyons when you go there. so it was difficult to locate the neighborhood center on an essentially flat street that will function as a main street. it will obviously not go all of the way up the hill. it will have retail, a community center, a new park, they have and all kinds of new stuff happening at the park and the community center. the senior housing is also going to be located on 24th street, so the seniors can have access to the relatively flat street and the resources that will be located there. we will run through the next his clients that will label aspects of the master plan. this is located throughout the site. buildings will range from the walk-up's, the yellow on this live, to the elevator-served buildings, which are the darker colored buildings. the orange buildings will be a also walk-up's, but they are not off of the street. mid rise buildings are going to be tucked into the steeper part of the site, where they will have the less rigid least the visual impact. and the project will be developed to meet old standards. so in summary, this planet corporate between 1400 to 1700 units, and there will be approximately one-third each public housing replacement, one- third higher income and higher tax credit units, as well as market rate housing. even though no parking is required, the project will include parking for the affordable units of a ratio of 0.5 spaces per unit with an overall ratio of 0.6 spaces per unit, and that compares to about 0.4% -- 0.4 currently. what those are going to be in the end is really going to be determined by the demand for retail space and by what we can really find for the community center, given that they do not expect to have a lot of read paying uses that can service debt, and the last part of this light is sell the 38 acres breaks down. there are a lot of streets. so the images on the right are located with those on the other. this is where it dakota is off of 25th. the second is texas street, which will now go through the site. the next slide is looking south from the recreation center. we had initially envisioned an edible cardamom -- garden up there, but this is what that looked like looking out to the south. that slot is connected street, and the last one is looking north from the corner of missouri street and a new street we are calling 24 and a half right now for the lack of a better name. the community center just beyond it, and above that, the mid rise buildings that we are proposing. so that is the plan. i want to talk a little bit about how we got there. these were the goals when we started the community engagement process in the summer of 2008. we wanted to make sure that everyone was working from the same base of information, and i will talk more about that. we wanted a clear and transparent process that would allow for community input and involvement, and we wanted to give the community enough opportunity to create a shared vision with us and all of the stakeholders for the transition of this property. we wanted to be able to produce a plan for formal processing that had thoughtful community contributions, and lastly, we really wanted to and have been working hard to try to break down the wall between the annex and the rest of the neighborhood. and because we understood that this project is a big deal, not just for the residents of the annex, where the whole neighborhood, we were really allowing plenty of time. this represents about 18 months leading up to the february meeting, where we presented the final plan. and we wanted to include as many people as possible in the development of the plan so that the plan was informed by as many people in the community as interested in it. there were 17 meetings. that got a little messed up there, but this represents only a fraction of the dozens of meetings over this three-plus- year period. there are presentations to the neighborhood groups. there are tables at local events. as part of the process was the meetings of the annex. there were four of them, and seven issue focused items that we were calling in focus groups at the time, but they were really organized. this is 2008 and 2009. this goes back to the goal of everyone working from the same information. this was to get people's ideas and hear their concerns and to educate people on some of the nitty gritty issues with the sensible design and sustainability. they generated a lot of great energy around bringing people together who would never have sat around the same table. supervisor mar: you mentioned earlier that some came from the elementary school. some of those are integrated into the plan, how the schools and families and to relate. and the other issue is transportation. as a muni was looking at cutting back, my understanding was that there were a number of lines with potrero hill, to other parts of the city. can you speak more about this? >> we have met with mdta several times about this side and about the neighborhood in general, which we have met with mta several times. mta is in a difficult position because they do not have the funds. they have low ridership. they have partially implemented the transit effectiveness program in the neighborhood but not entirely. we have a diagram that shows the good -- proposed bus stops that we have worked out with them that they have approved, and the bus lines represent the buses that would be running through the neighborhood that are called for. so whether that is adequate or not i think will have to be determined when people are actually living on this site, and it will be more -- easier to get service when there are more people clamoring for it. they are still pretty upset about the disappearance of the 53. it really was a direct connection, especially down at 16th and potrero we are in constant dialogue with the muni, and we will continue as long as we are working on this project to advocate for better transit service to this neighborhood, and i think the transit project is going to also have to look at their own solutions that might be internal to this project, so in terms of schools, we have had some interactions with one school and daniel webster. we have not dug deep there. the project that emily is working on that i will mention able but later i think will start to get at the schools and those kids who are attending those schools a lot more directly. so i was saying that the focus groups were really a great process, and i think everybody who participated in them came away feeling really jazzed on in level and really hopeful. we did a couple of other things. we held a few other workshops, because we knew a lot of people did not understand the land use process in san francisco. we had a workshop with our land use attorney and walked through the entitlement process step by step, with all of the points where folks would have a chance to provide input into the project and to express their views and their concerns. we also took people on tours, so it is a different ball of wax in terms of financing, but it was former public housing, and is now available for tax-credit eligible residents, also, and we wanted to get people to the beach to have them see what a we developed public housing project would look like, because there were a lot of concerns that the actor is not going to be any better than the before, and particularly with issues of crime. people are concerned that if we're going to have this much more density, we want to make sure that things are better, so we took folks over there because short of taking them to chicago and atlanta and some of the other places where this has been done on a large scale, this is what we were able to do. so all in all, 600 people were involved in the planning process in 2008 and 2009. particularly in the focus groups, they developed key concepts and the master plan, including the street grid and having a strong labor its center. we have a recaps from the focus groups that summarize what came out of them. you will see a lot of those things are really reflected in the master plan, but to show you each one, it would take one hour or two, so we reached out to a number of people throughout the process to invite their participation, and
