Madam chair and thank you for clairnd it item today, i want to thank the planning staff Monique Mohan and thank our nonprofit Affordable Housing partners who the ones that built the Affordable Housing that worked with us on the legislation or supported it mercy housing, Bridge Housing and larkin street and the booker t. Washington Community Service and colleagues this legislation makes it easier and faster and less expensive to build Affordable Housing in San Francisco as you may know and we have a lot of various policy disputes in this building but one thing we agree on we are in the midst a go housing crisis the voters time and again haves told his overwhelmingly they want more Affordable Housing and they want it yesterday the Housing Trust funds prop c passed overwhelmingly to create a fund more Affordable Housing last november the Affordable Housing bond prop a passed overwhelmingly this first Affordable Housing bond to pass in many, many years as mayor ed lee and our board supervisor president london breed announced last month there is a working group look at the inclusionary housing requirement for market rate projects and the bureaucratic process either delayed it across the income levels will be discussed with a goal on putting a measure on the November Ballot the legislation before us responds to the affordable create and a mauvent to increase the affordable it does so by expediting the approval of 100 percent projects project for 100 percent of the units are affordable to low income or mirrored households not applying beyond the 100 percent Affordable Housing projects specifically the legislation for these projects removes any requirement for the conditional use this reduces approval on certain for those projects it also reduces the time required to approve those projects which at at minimum will will reduce the approval time from 3 to 6 months and a number that projects by 9 months a year or longer we know that the standard for conditional use is necessary and desirable is a project necessary and desirable for a neighborhood we tend to apply the conditional use requirement for projects were not sure from the project is necessary and desirable where it may be a good thing or a bad thing for example, we utilized conditional use for formula retail because chain stores we are skeptical of them they maybe good in some situations and not in ods others we require the conditional use if youll increase the number ever bars it might not a good or bad thing we want apt in depth analysis and a public hearing at the Planning Commission to get Community Input and make a determination is it necessary and desirable colleagues no question about whether Affordable Housing is necessary and desirable it is by definition extremely necessary and desirable and we need dramatically more Affordable Housing and we need it not tomorrow or a year or 10 years if now but now we need it as quickly as possible and anything we can dosido to make it easier and faster to get Affordable Housing built in San Francisco the better i do want to stress this this protective contrary to the claims that some have made not in any way remove the public from the process of approving those projects this does not short circuit Public Participation it is kreb8 important marketrate or Affordable Housing under the legislation there will still be intense Design Review by the parklet Planning Department to make sure that all development in San Francisco is welldesigned for a neighborhood the legislation doesnt reduce the neighborhood notification the neighbors get the notification about the projects to participate they can express their opinions about the design and the legislation didnt in any way reduce the right of public to seek discretionary review from the Planning Commission if they oppose a project so it in project in opposition the people can file a discretionary review and obtain have a hearing at the Planning Commission this will do is say that for the projects that dont have opposition and these exist you do not have to go to the Planning Commission right now of an Affordable Housing has complete consensus no opposition in a neighborhood it still has to go through the lengthy process for the commission adding time and money to the project this legislation will move us away from that so colleagues this legislation is over due it is important, and we should support it today i do want to just i i know and we initially introduced this last fall and in january earlier this month baseline feedback from the Planning Department we substituted the legislation to nonsubstantive to reorganize some of the provisions for some reason the substitute legislation was not to the agenda substantively the same but reorganized the amendments in the substitute legislation that we introduce this month add a few things add a consistency with the general plan and recommendation adapted for the organization not the sews and the substitute legislation specifically maintains the conditional use from the site is proposed a Grocery Store or movie theory over and over a cu for parking those are issues that the Planning Commission has raised and the department so we incorporated these into the substitute legislation and to clarify the planning director authority to issue the administrator expectation so ive distributed the amendment that are the substitute legislation we pubically introduced a few weeks ago the City Attorney confirms not substantive and not requiring a continuance so i after Public Comment move those amendments and now madam chair if i may id like id like to ask Michael Mahan followed by Sophie Hayward the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development. Thank you, supervisor wiener good afternoon supervisor cowen and supervisor peskin im Monique Mohan to discuss the Planning Commission recommendation for the ordinance the Planning Commission heard this on december 3rd of 2015 it proposes an administrative code for the 100 percent projects that need a conditional use authorization from the permit review in denounced or a atlantis in eastern neighborhoods at hearing they attend two motion that failed to pass another motion to continue to january 21st, 2016, failed and a second motion to adopt the approval amended by staff for the removal of Grocery Store and theatres from the legislation and consideration for the ground floor uses failed by a 3 to 2 vote per the planning code section the commission was unable to pass this forward to the board of supervisors for a recommendation of approval the ordinance has been amend by supervisor wiener on january 12th and included staff recommendations to create a new section dedicated to the authorization of the Affordable Housing it is defined as housing solely that is restricted for 35 years of low and moderate income in the state of california and staff is available for questions thank you. Sophie hayward. Thank you, ms. Hay wood. Good afternoon supervisor cohen and supervisor wiener and supervisor peskin Sophie Hayward is from the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development im here today to note we are, of course, supportive of this legislation anything we can do to bring the affordable units online faster we are supportive of and i want to note that this moves did needle but didnt overturn the application 6 projects since 2010 that require only a conditional use authorization those legislation will remove the hearing requirement for those projects in addition, i want to note that the commissions calendar and it is backlog is real simply trying to schedule something not contested a general taking two or three weeks to get on the Commission Calendar it is two to three or more months we save on the administrative side of those font o fonts thank you very much im available to answer any questions. I dont think we have any questions at this time thank you. Madam chair at this point perhaps opium. I have speaker cards ill call them please step forward when you hear them calling names . Okay well have to work on your pen manship depend on i. Lien i will be using the okay opposing legislation rather than looking at on the opposition simple improving the parklet efficiency or hiring more staff that seeks to approve the process for 100 percent Affordable Housing projects by cit corners this sends the wrongs message it results in more Planning Decisions being made internally behind close doors it sends the wrong message the port has not made a compelling argument only saying that improves the pros and cons process quote adding slightly faster rates unquote and saving prongs 5 to 6 month in report time the maximum improvement will be 3 to 6 months it means could be left when this was harder at the Planning Commission commissioner Vice President richards urged the droshths to look at the departmental registry the director refused to consider this option commissioner Vice President richards also reminder the director the budget process was coming up and hire new staff to reduce the time was an option the director refused to consider this this i think flexibility by the director creates a negative prospective and sometimes perspectives out weigh occult perspectives to eliminate the cu but the participation felt Planning Commission and the members of the public ill suggest a fast track process at the Planning Commission for a hearing date and put it on the fast track for the hearings at the Commission Also the legislation sets a precedent for you for other types of projects. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Pat scott. Followed by rob o rob pool and others. Supervisors pat scott selfbooker t. I know youve heard any tails of woe about the project the booker t. Started almost 10 years ago 10 years ago when i was 25 years younger anything that will move this process is something that i urge you to support trying to build 50 units of Affordable Housing is a nightmare in this town when my neighbors heard we were planning to develop this site they came to my office and said were combrding of those people talking about west side projects and youre not bringing any more of them both this community so they did everything they could to stop this talking about the size, the height and density anything that will they really didnt want the young people in their neighborhood were building 50 units of housing all affordable half of it for young people that aged out of further care and a nightmare process to take 10 years to do a project liam like this it took some time off my life more most importantly is sends a signal we dont support people that carton afford the high appraise of housing in San Francisco so we need to doing everything we can to fix this thing what happened to us is that a project that was originally 26 million is now 38 million it was that long period that increased the costs and i urge you to support this legislation. Thank you. Mr. Pool. Good afternoon, supervisors rob pool with the San Francisco Housing Action coalition for for the individual members we very much support this legislation san franciscans have made it clear that housing is a priority and housing that is affordable to low and moderate income is the number one priority and right now is never been hard to build it we did well by passing the bond but not enough doing everything we can to get affordable units online faster and as weve heard from the several developers 2, 3, 4 merging the conditions will add 3 to 6 months on the timeline and promotions have financing deadlines and with the longer timeline it makes it harder to meet the deadlines and get it off the ground that means that protecting and serve workers and first amendments and others have a harder time finding housing we subtle see that all but Community Means that neighborhood groups will still happen there will be plenty of continuous for folks to participate in the process and provide input if for some reason some were opposed to the housing in San Francisco first, well have bigger problems but they can request a discretionary review and appeal to the full board and delay it longer no one wanted to do that Affordable Housing on the ground and now we urge you to support in and get it done legislationly and to the full board thank you. Thank you. Mike edge. High aim mike a 25 residents of north beach and serving on the civil grand jury one of the things weve been having a long term problems are erosion policy in the Market Conditions Housing Stock and over policy response has been one of consolidation not worked Neither Police or material consolidation has worked if you read the book waterfront by Richard Adams i dont think like referring but our housing policy the councils warner approach if you read waterfrontship down all died they felt what they could hold into stop consolidating and start restoring the Housing Stock i support 24 at planning and here a small very important step on the way to restoring affordability i urge you to support is it. Thank you, sirs it. Thank you, sir it. Thank you, sirit. Thank you, sir calling names thank you donald a resident of the city of San Francisco concerned about i housing crisis 0 over the last 40 years a promise to build as a solution i accept profess things year by year youll get gridlock and history has proven to san franciscans that mcpromises are Endless Solutions that never come the people i met cant wait the senior disabled man living in the castro has to choose paying for diabetes medication or rents the single acknowledging mom living in the garage in the boyfriend with children spell needs a raise could not wait the latino student from the mission living with his grasps with a mountain of debt cant wait you cant wait never our city we need to roll up our sleeves and make process more greatly in city hall wouldnt help anyone but people that look for opportunities to take the city backwards we cant take that risk we have to defend the process building Affordable Housing in the city we need to go further with todays legislation Affordable Housing as principle used by the housing champions supervisor wiener were in a public emergency and cant wait supervisors please get out the gridlock at city hall and vote yes Affordable Housing as principle use today thank you. Thank you so much christie wong. Thank you supervisors chris i didnt the planning director thank you for the opportunity to comment on this legislation with the housing crisis today San Francisco must do the best we can to support the faster production of housing to lowerincome and madam clerk, any announcements . On top of the improving the process is one key of the process to creating it available more quickly at a lower cost a is as a formally developer i know this reduces the time and energy to the required process for all the things that the developers have to get through this is within the control of the city spur re789 the approval with the planning modifications the legislation is drafted to clearly only benefit the Affordable Housing projects that are 100 percent restricted to household under the impounded and for the nonprofits and founded by public dollars this makes a difference in the Affordable Housing given the inflexible calendar with the specifically and not prevent these on the timeline thank you and i hope youll support this. Laura clark calling names . Hi laura clark i dont know why im going to spend a lot of times i think the arguments have been made Affordable Housing is also and forever necessary and indirectly it is obvious this is low hanging fruit legislation we need to rush through the process it is transient and all of the people that will be live in those Affordable Housing projects are people that struggle to come out and tell you how much they need it, it is 2 oclock on a monday all the working People Living in the homes cant come out here and beg you to expedite this legislation. Next speaker. Im john a San Francisco residents Property Owner for over a decade and working on the new Affordable Housing project i support in legislation for several reasons one were in need of the market rate housing and the teams deserve an easier way to bring the Affordable Housing to the market and 3 many approvals required for those projects to obtain entitlements this legislation removed some the redundant measures i urge you to support is it. Sonya. Hi, im sonya here to testify in favor of this legislation i know that is cleaver and practical and a fiscal way to make the building of Affordable Housing cheaper and less risky the best thing the message it sends a message that Affordable Housing is a priority it announce that it is the policy of San Francisco that Affordable Housing is everywhere necessary and desirable and i was shocked when i watched the Planning Commission to see peit fair to say against the legislation it is testifying in favor of the ability of san franciscans to block Affordable Housing projects and i do think it is appropriate at this time to announce to san franciscans we may hear you on a 5 Story Building is ugly San Francisco has decided that were not interested in that were more interested in seeing the new Affordable Housing thank you very much. Thank you. Pat val teen followed by bryan and john, jon stewart excuse me. Robert stevenson and ian. Good afternoon. Im patrick value teen the president of the Community Housing Partnership Im here as an individual very concerned and want to support this legislation going through part of my day job is working on Affordable Housing ive learned the finance is skril difficult to get the Affordable Housing projects done tax Credit Investors and private money at the same time to create a project that is incredibly beneficial to the community we have debates about the 25 inclusionary and market contributions and 40 percent of the projects lastly this is our chance to have push the 100 percent we know the value and importance of producing more affordable units every neighborhood needs to participate 2, 3, 4 Affordable Housing production reneed to see it throughout the city and San Francisco is not made up of gated community were in this together it is important we support this legislation lets get it done and move on. Thank you, brian. Hi, im bryan im with the california renter advocacy and Education Fund i support this legislation i understand that the market rate Housing Developers often need to get their financing from the sources that include tight deadlines but removing the deadline is often of vital importance more than i understand that some people per puerto represent the local interests dont support this this is as surprisingly as booker t. Washington Community Service center noted earlier the history of bmr housing in the United States is the history of incumbent residents fighting based on class do not be cowed by this legislation pass it now thank you. Next speaker hi, im john a south of market residents i just want to focus on one specific thing to a keep it short having go gone to the Planning Department meetings there is a bottleneck and i think this will really help with that a lot of times thalt have projects that have to come back to the Planning Department again and they get spelled out sometimes two and three months out the Planning Commission will talk about how to put it back on the agenda in addition, this effects helping us to you shuffle a lot of things in quicker thank you. Thank you, john stewart. Good afternoon thanks for your attendance im jon stewart of jon stewart and a residents of San Francisco here to support the proposed legislation by supervisor wiener we are a a nonprofit firm but we work with our colleagues in the were a full Profit Company get it straight working with the colleagues with the Nonprofit Community im in trouble we have merging and 33 thousand units under management in the state mostly in Northern California 2 thousand units in the pipeline that includes the our job projects the north beach and hunters view seven hundred units and booker t. Washington were working on too bad projects addressing the question that supervisor wiener brought up that is public input i we found we have in overwhe overwhelming amount of we have had on hunters view over one hundred meeting 1 3rd in the night an hunters view and north beach place a circle was 4 and 5 years actually north beach place we went through 4 mayors to get it done who are the people that look at this not just the neighbors but youre looking at lenders and moe and t cap and sid lack and every one of them has a series of criteria that are well but above and beyond bump and height were vetted and i urge you not to enhance the production by choking the chicken thank you. Thank you very much calling names . Good afternoon my name is Robert Stephanie son a san franciscan and developing Affordable Housing for the last 16 years i wanted to speak to the i support the legislation and want to speak to the notation that will result in a reduction of Community Input and outreach it is fundamental to understand that San Francisco nonprofits the groups that deputy Affordable Housing here are a core value of the county is outreach navigate we cant get to the starting line unless were selected by the city and various track record so it is fundamental and it is the way that the groups to do this work get selected in the in the first place if we trip up and dont outreach to a community we dont get a chance this is fundamental the way that Affordable Housing get selected so the way it reduces that is simply not possible the system is set up to not although, my representative for example, on fulsome asked for one hundred and 20 units we had the Community Outreach and continued though the public process and approval and Design Development through construction we were providing weekly updates to the community and formed an individual project with many of the neighbors and at my last Community Meeting the last building was built we had a Community Meeting to make sure how the lease was it will not result in reduced public input thank you. Thank you calling names . When this legislation was present on december to the Planning Commission it hit a brick wall it is unusual for legislation of this significant and often a supervisor will go back and fix it and bring that back to the commission that is not happening this is moving forward with a disapproval from the Planning Commission one of the Commission Said at that hearing if prop a had included that legislation as part of prop a they voted for prop a but if it included this they would have voted against it prop a and prop k never included this sort of work around in terms of allowing residents to have input to the process and so the key thing here is lets work more Affordable Housing but lets make sure that residents and neighborhoods have an opportunity to insure that neighborhood character is not destroyed neighborhood character is one of the priority policies of the city it is being ignored in this process thank you. Thank you, don. How about Kendra Douglas how about mark anthony anyone else i dont see them go ahead and speak. Hi, im brandy gordon with Bridge Housing i have sort of is prepared statement for the housing and other institutions so the corporation is a nonprofit developer owner. Please speed up up to the mike. 32yearold nonprofit owner of air force born and headquarters in San Francisco as a long stand member on the city we struggle to we strongly support this introduced by supervisor wiener to amend the San Francisco code wore withholding o 100 percent for go for the confusion under this proposal 100 percent Affordable Housing projects will be approved by the administrator staff saving time an urban certainly by the lengthy process anded by others not reducing the Community Input in the projects i can speak from my experience with with the rebuilt potrero weve downey done the Community Meetings on you know what they want and what are the most important things and thats something weve done throughout did you conditional use process not inhibiting those efforts as a one of the biggest supporter we ask for the pipeline to reduce the barriers and bring nor Affordable Housing unit online the voters stoke strongly with the production in the city in legislation is an important tool for other nonprofit utilized towards chief of police this goal yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much is there anyone else who wishes to speak on this item please come up. Im emily and speaking in favor of supervisor wieners legislation it is make sense to have a streamlined process we need this and i think there is mindset that number one if youre in a neighborhood you get to decide who our nightclubs are this is absolutely wrong and not something we want in our city and number two, that if you were here first your Voice Matters more i think that in trying to create an inclusive and democratic city we can fight and this legislation does that as someone that works in creating Community Support for real estate projects it legislation might take money out of my pocket in some of the projects but i dont care i care more about building housing for people that you know need it and for people that does make enough money to live here currently in favor of this legislation and thank you. Thank you lowest folks everyone else want to speak on item 3 . Last chance Public Comment is closed. The matter is back into those committees hands before supervisor wiener speaks i want to acknowledge supervisor peskin through the chair whats the rational for limiting two years. That is how we define Affordable Housing we incorporate state that number of years is throughout our Affordable Housing program so not unique to this this this xhifrpz with how Affordable Housing is defined. That reference to california safety code section. Yeah. Yeah. No different than at aspects of the code thank you. Okay. Well, i just wanted to lend my revise to the conversation i believe this helps to Prioritize Building the affordable units we agree were in spite need to proceed to go forward i represent district 10 and working on the Bridge Housing and john stewart as the private urban developers it is freshmen to see everyone is on the same page a couple of things to ritual projects that are withholding it possible will be subject to the discretionary review process and this process will have and taken to the publics concern so there is not a stifling of the opportunity for the public to weigh in on those particular projects it is incredible important we support of the Affordable Housing i know john stewart had an interesting quote dont choke the chicken but but something for the eggs. Hes gun that was good ill have to play that back but it is interesting colorful way to highlight but way we are and my belief i know that folks are concerns again want to reiterate that the process were talking about would not bypass the Planning Commission process projects will be subject to a 311 notification as well as a preapplication in process and like i said a conditional use im in favor of this particular piece of legislation and one of the speakers spoke of the i think referred to as a brick wall in the Planning Commission i wanted to note if there were a commission missing and it was actually a excuse me. A 3 to 3 vote it didnt necessarily hit a brick wall and died i think there were some conversation around that so i think supervisor peskin if nothing hes got other comments he wants to share with that, im in favor of the legislation thank you, supervisor wiener. Thank you policeman i want to share my perspective as oneonone someone that recommended the Northeast Corner of the city with a number of promotions mr. Stewart refrpdz during my 10 empower and i appreciate mr. Stevenson your comments which is as we all know the vast majority of 100 percent promotions if not the entirety are built by Nonprofit Developers and indeed youre absolutely right which is unlike for Profit Developers if we want to continue to develop they have is to develop the relationships and deal with the Community Input in order to remain viable different than nor arrogant privately financed capital that wants to have its way my experiences have been very, very good sfaeshthd i e as a matter of fact the opportunity for Community Input and dialogue has made projects bettered like project o at market octavia we saw that in the north beach and mr. Stewart left when he was speaking about the four and a half years i had a seat with ronnie davis was head of the hugdz overseeing 3e78dz were not impedes from joining neighborhood bye bye the housing or Housing Authority for their failure to come up with a ambulance for hundreds of residents facility i think that is a learning lesson interestingly enough the community that lives around myself and many others that wanted to build a denser project in fact, thats what we did in the case of broadway and battery the freeway off ramp the community worked well together i think they ended up with a better project and the same what broadway samson as staff indicated unfortunately, we only do a handful of these on an annual basis i have no process with quote unquote streamlining the process but have to be cognizant and this is an admonition having that cycle often results in a better project and with the nonprofits get that the one exemption was booker t. I have to say for the record i find is it ironic that one of my colleagues who was active in opposing that project is a snatch for for the june ballot ill leave it at that i want to be clear the cu process plays an Important Role in honing a project and it is very different than the discretionary review, discretionary review is an after the fact type of appeal different than a conditional use process i admitted it is more timely consuming and time is money and as projectes cat that 6 months in the case of baby boomer scott is not here millions of dollars the one horror story the others stories are like o but just to be clear with any colleagues and public because not from the nonprofit side not on the Affordable Housing side there is an increasing push to streamline more and more i think we have so understand the values of having an enter stiff process with the city and the developers and the community i want to stress that 100 percent projects are different and want to note there are a handful of nonprofit there is many, many that are not here not email address not weighed in and written letters im cognizant of that fact too but with that, im fine with sending the legislation to the full board for our consideration next week are you comfortable sitting with the recommendation without objection. Thank you supervisor peskin for those remarks i know that is, i know weve all talked about this because we keep on hearing from some people that are skeptical of the legislation this somehow reduces the Community Participation i really want to reiterate it is not doing so still robust Design Review and full neighborhood notification and if people are opposed they can seek the discretionary review and have a Planning Commission where the Planning Department can reject the entire project or modify the entire project or approve the entire project the same Planning Commission that was hear the conditional use why would we force that no Community Opposition to go through the process we know that many, many projects in San Francisco do not require conditional use and people still participate including some Small Projects some of the Residential Projects in the neighborhood at times the most intensive dont require conditional use and neighbors still center to notify their neighbors they still have to go through intensive sometimes lengthy Design Review with the Planning Department and we pretty frequently see the conditional use and end up at the Planning Commission and the public is not removed if this process just because of conditional use, conditional use is in the by any stretch the only way tool we have to insure good participation it does add an additional layer i know that the Planning Department says 3 to 6 months conservative we follow the conditional uses from large to small i have to tell you if you get a conditional use from the beginning in three to four months thats the rocket like a minor project any complexity for that conditional use im confident that our Affordable Housing will be larger than a small formula retail is i know 3 to 6 months is optimistic i understand that is the estimate isnt report and some projects may happen to the 12 months is anymore realistic weve seen longer thanthanasia than that i want to say like supervisor peskin he support the conditional use process in general i support is it subjecting formula retail to conditional use and expanding to formula retail cu process to banks a strong supporter of supervisor mars legislation and offend legislation to create new conditional uses in my district for example, supervisor campos and i coauthored legislation to require it an valencia street to convert from a business to a restaurant that was implicating the neighborhood and in the castro and noah valley to require the conditional use if you have a office space we want you are corridors to be active retail and not making it easy for commercial use on the ground floor it is unclear those kinds of changes are positive to conditional use make sense here i want to know i passed around packets of support letters if mercy housing and larkin street and Bridge Housing and super and booker t. Washington i want to thank those organizations for supporting and so colleagues he first want to move the amendments to conform the substitute legislation i introduce a few weeks ago and make another motion after that. All right. Thank you supervisor wiener made a motion did you get the motion okay. Motion to amend. The motion to amend can we do it amazing. Substitute. Yes. Motion to mainstreamed well take that without objection. That item passes and particular i move we move item 3 the full board with a positive recommendation. Supervisor peskin. Well take that without objection. I want to say relative to the Planning Commission and this thing that comes up about 33 ties or 4 to 3 or 6 to one or 7 to nothing with all due respect at the end of the day and i tell this to the Planning Commission commissioners just a recommendation to the legislative branch i take it seriously but i abused we get a lot of these and now, one commission missing a bunch of 33, 3 ties with disapproval i mean when Internal Revenue first on the board and the mayor appointed all 7 members to the Planning Commission sometimes interceptor fired if not met his will the board i served on one oftentimes vote the other way get it on the record. A motion was made and well take that without objection. That item passes. Thank you, colleagues. Youre welcome madam clerk call the next.

Anthonys at the assessment and me and my friends were crashing in the chairs at hospitality house phenomenon levin worth street now thirty something years later it is worse across the country so after 20 something years with hospitality house and starting the coalition the community papering or partnership they develop the housing showing that poor and others can build the housing with the train we started a National Organization where regional need not fight at part of effort we created this report i had a couple of copies you want to see the simple report the contemporary housing directly correlates with the cuts the massive cuts in Affordable Housing funding that was start in 1982 we went back and looked at it well, where did hud come from what was the purpose of hyde this is what we found in 1937 maps of homelessness in 1937 because of communities working with local governments the federal government created hud it has the mandate to a sanitary this is what heading u hud was created to do in 1998 we get the quality housing and work madam chair can mr. Boo den continue. Briefly. I was told 10 minutes ill do this quick. What was the reform in 1998 whipped out the hud and the federal government cant be held responsible for providing housing so housing went to the private market it was exasperated in the 90s as part of welfare reform housing is a come down we know that because we know that the mortgage homeowners mortgage Interest Deduction is 144 billion and when we say housing we cant afford to subsidize were only talking about poor people with 144 billion we can afford to subsidize housing i subsidize is the same as a allocation of funding if you ask me for 50 bucks i give you i gave you 50 bucks yet one is valid as important for the economy and the country and doesnt have a cap it is funded through the irs there is no catch on how much money an incredible cap are reworthy having affordability and it is charity it is important people that is 34 billion thats classism and thats the way the policies are playing out most of government needs to be working is this federal, state, and local to fight for all People Housing is good for homeowners and coming from the street now a homeowners i tell you the homeowners ill take them either time i didnt qualify when i was poor and homeless i qualify because i have a home this is what you need to know ill cut it short but this slide is from 77 to 83 these are the cuts that came down retina really hits the bottom in 79 when carter cut across the board and reagan december matsdz the Affordable Housing funding we as i said opened our Homeless Program in San Francisco in october of second year 82 i have the documents when he started to refer people from our program in hospitality house into shelters around the city it is the direct causeandeffect those huhuhs thats been the major response of homelessness in the the to crime list the homeless weve not restored that funding and not addressed did cause of homelessness causeandeffect when we have that we didnt have the people sleeping in the streets and in 2006, 6 hundred children in or Public Schools that were identified and homeless last year, it was one. 3 million and in our Public Schools the schools actually talk to every single student not like the ridiculous head counts that tells you there is on this 600 holes people in the country yet in the schools one. 3 million children with the passing the last dental bill to rechaplain family in need of homes we developed a category called poorly housed a family doubled and tripled up in an sros hotel no longer qualifies for home assistance that are funded by hud not considered homeless their poorly housed we went from 4 to extremely poor to kind of sort of poor to maybe poor but not poor enough we redipped peoples poverties hoping to reduce the number of People Living in poverty we need to aid the systemic reasons and have a congressional leadership that is powerful in washington, d. C. And, be a voice a pull pet if we have the organizes and the developers and the poor area Homeless People and the board of supervisors and our congressional and state representatives standing together and saying we need to fund the Affordable Housing not just pass it we need to fund it and ill skip to it goes on the class issues 3. 5 percent of the population are the people that are living on the streets africanamericans just like in our jails like our Public Housing in is about race and class folks we need to tale with that the 5 and 10 year plans i was on those black man both sides i went through those processes and it is the most ridiculous thing we dont need another plan we need to look at what caused it what happens before we opened our shelter programs we eliminated Affordable Housing lets get busy and started addressing that thank you very much thank you for your time. Thank you, mr. Boo den madam chair, i forgot to mention a couple of presentations i know generally but the Community Coalition has been working on this for many decades ill urge us to be respectful of the time for these folks who are part of presentation open up for Public Comment but thank you so much mr. Boo den. No problem lets get mr. James fractiously from the partnership. I think that San Francisco city family is on the same page is the numbering solution to homelessness the national Housing Trust fund it took in the early 2000s Mass Mobilization letting led by Homeless People and jails led by the National Trust fund and the coalition in 2003 and 4, however, was Hurricane Katrina helped to build the political momentum this will do two things San Francisco more competitive for the scarce amount of trust fund money that will be offered this spring a good thing in and of itself for that reason and urges San Francisco to get a lot important serious about the way as a city it does know how it has added so many units of housing for poor people in order to get serious about this effort and leading other cities to reverse the displacements those 40 years of homelessness i think all of us here in this room are old enough to remember we walked by Market Street very few Homeless People not swept away by police but had enough support so very few people didnt slip to the streets i hope you support this resolution one of the things makes it worth working in the Community Like mark anthony and dwayne that experienced homelessness first hand are living in our buildings but continue to speak up for the needs for more housing for ill human beings so after jennifer can you please from mercy housing looking forward to hearing. Good afternoon jennifer from mercy housing im here to represent the network were fairly new collaboration of providers here in San Francisco and we are here to advocate on behalf of the support informative hours the successful model weve been shriver to san franciscans we believe that people in support support of housing are leading nor Productive Lives and costs significantly less money to the taxpayers of San Francisco if they are housed in the buildings we value and encourage housing mobile i would every individuals is slightly different and having that ability to move in and out of the different teaches housing we find ever find is essential the core problem and challenge we dont have a construction and maintenance source and streams to deliver for avenue for the growing needs the national Housing Trust fund is one way to make sure the funds are delivered and give homeowners opportunities to our excelling and very low income san franciscans so on behalf of the support of Housing Network we urge the board to adapt this resolution as a way of highlighting the federal governments efforts to improve our housing on a local level and provide Additional Support housing thank you.

Congratulations clapping. madam clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body . No, that concludes our business for today. Thank you, thank you thats it for today we broke ground in december of last year. We broke ground the day after sandy hook connecticut and had a moment of silence here. Its really great to see the silence that we experienced then and weve experienced over the years in this playground is now filled with these voices. 321, okay. [ applause ] the park was kind of bleak. It was scary and over grown. We started to help maclaren park when we found there wasnt any money in the bond for this park maclaren. We spent time for funding. It was expensive to raise money for this and there were a lot of delays. A lot of it was just the mural, the sprinklers and we didnt have any grass. It was that bad. We worked on sprinkler heads and grass and we fixed everything. We worked hard collecting everything. We had about 400 group members. Every a little bit helped and now the park is busy all week. There is people with kids using the park and using strollers and now its safer by utilizing it. Maclaren park being the largest second park one of the best kept secrets. Whats exciting about this activation in particular is that its the first of many. Its also representation of our city coming together but not only on the bureaucratic side of things. But also our neighbors, neighbors helped this happen. We are thrilled that today we are seeing the fruition of all that work in this citys open space. When we got involved with this park there was a broken swing set and half of for me, one thing i really like to point out to other groups is that when you are competing for funding in a hole on the ground, you need to articulate what you need for your park. I always point as this sight as a model for other communities. I hope we continue to work on the other empty pits that are here. There are still a lot of areas that need help at maclaren park. We hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. Its a really hidden jewel. A lot of people dont know its here. Re were here to announce and discuss today, i am a firm believable that connectivity it the fabric of future only because some people had a good idea to pave and organ road systems thousands of years ago well able to talk about links i can e.

This is going to be a separate announcement and with that, i want to bring up john to talk about grand canyon how theyre using their products to connect people. Good morning and im the hardware guy like all hardware guys i come with a bag of small tricks. The internet of thing is been a credible lets srevolutionary network of communications it has enabled the Hardware Devices and Smart Sensors and services as well service con opponent of servicing the data from utilities and other business is an incredibly large phenomena an example we metered the city of seattle 4 hundred thousand homes we provided data on a one minute basis through our Cloud Based Services google it generate one. 3 caring bites per day as is saying goes pretty soon you have real numbers the information revolution having a large number the devices providing information per minute per day is equivalent of a few devices presenting large amounts of data for allen and cigarette fox i want to show you what they have enabled for us the electrical meter is one we participate one and 20 million meters installed the world market is 200 hundred and 20 million meter per year the us is only a small proportion that have something less than 2 percent of world or world market and just to highlight it quickly this is one of our meters from the world market of course, it is square not round and it is highly intelligent it has 5 arm processors inside and they do everything this web services to a web server to sending and ref emails and s ms and a whole bunch of things the bad news here in california pg e paid 200 and 20 and piece and bought 10 millions so all of us pay an extra charge of about 9 percent on our electrical bills today in this market bad news in and thats not going to continue the electrical utilities cant afford it and the Attorney Generals Office are preventing it into reoccurring what the enable time of signifying fox is smaller light weight metered devices instead of one of that size now we introduce one of this size the first customer is the city of shanghai that insulate 4 millions as a Pilot Program of those little sect lighter sized what makes that possible if i havent a lot of the it in any pocket i want to give you a fwlirm the i o it from the hard stand point can i see this . That is a ceqa fox radio it sends and receives data 12 bites at that time, if the devices such as this or soil sensors or water meters or control systems for irrigation if device costs about 1 and a half and enables 15 minute information transfer to Data Collection and Energy Control to reduce the usage of energy and water and vitality commoditys worldwide were one of the if i folks participating that happens with pride that is over hardware device those are all intelligent things there are 3 micro pro series 3 are 32 bet having great computer capability is the extension to others applications is going to happen and it is happening now you will find those things youll find them in light bulb to there be less expensive and what with a whole new information my compliments allen thank you if i can have the opportunity other speakers join me on stage we want to open it up to press or anyone in the audience for questions about signifying Fox Technology or is pinching between signifying fox or what we imagine this network for the city or for entrepreneurs were here for any questions you might have. inaudible . So right now what weve done is we have allowed for the installation of antennas on Library Buildings and this is a the partnership of the library that consultant it is at no cost to the city not spent any money doing it were not passerby for the sensors that is priority by signifying fox allowing for access to the buildings for the mounting of those back hall antennas allen will speak to the technology. The big difference more conventional setting forget theyve got love equilibriums and back hall we for us were talking about something roughly the size of a brake and an n s l connection you dont know it is there from the wind blows or Something Like that it is irrelevant the idea that San Francisco has leading low power next last week, a very rich kind of activity for the i ot experiments like the hawk awe phone it he provides a Connectivity Network people can do pretty much what we want San Francisco is leading the charge in tech and to add this is a Pilot Initiative we want to better understand what value signifying fox brings to the community and to the City Government and it is on a one year lease well be able to renew that the one thing to recognize were open to other technologies were not saying . The right one or we really want to enable different Communication Technologies that you know companies that are printed in the record to provide it activity for our citizens and entrepreneurs. Any other questions . About the hawk phone yeah. Please. inaudible . The pilot is twofold one for sort of our City Government to better understand how Technology Like this could be incorporated in the work were doing and solving the challenges the hack phone is the first milestone in that conversation with the San Francisco what are the challenges were facing addressed by thought products and Services First of all, and, secondly, is this a great tool in technology for entrepreneurs are they able to build not products and services those what the two things well be looking at to see if this is something that is impactful. One comment on hack then you dont know what youre going to get in is the way Silicon Valley works; right . You create an environment it lends to the creativity and innovation let the smart people losses and ill get all kinds of things out of it thats the way it plan works. Yeah. Well be expanding quickly as i mentioned the top temple or the negligent will spread set now we have deployment we have so many partners from jacobs and some of the chip modular partners but typically others so youll see a study continuing roll out here and many other places. Yeah. inaudible . The city an under that nice warm blanket right now so you can drive around weve had different partners and consumers well given coverage and the coverage as spots but generally speaking the network is up and the way the technology is deployed if we find areas that perhaps zpt been covered it is easy to put something out there. inaudible . The network is live as of now. Yeah. It is live as of now. inaudible . Correct. He might add we did fields tests in San Francisco running with our small radio device average distance between cell points was about a mile the coverage in the city from inside the buildings was more than 2 and a half mile and then a more rural setting last week los is gaits the coverage was i dont understand 10 miles the 6 antennas is included no entruthful antenna if the bay point eats the stations procreate the higher the better im saying that. inaudible . Yeah. Any final questions before we wrap up thank you very much for all our
