As they should be. We have a accomplished this year documenting actually some of the beleaguered preferences ocii properties have. Weve published a Housing Preference guideline that shows how the different Housing Preferences that we monitor and that we facilitate through the lottery system interacts with each other. I have copies of the preference manual if you like to see it. It lets people know prior to putting us putting it in this book, there were no written instructions for kind of documentation you need to have to get the correct rent burden preference, let sit. Or even elaborating on what the rent burden preference is world what the assisted Housing Preference is. Like theits not a section of voucher program. If youre in public assisted housing. That little nuance is kind of difficult for people they think are good at section 8 dr. I should get this preference but so we were able to write it out and help people understand what those preferences are and how the interplay, how they take priority over other say ocd Housing Preferences when it comes to an ocii property. So that was a prebig accomplishment there. We worked really hard with our cop holders and is pam stated, we review every denial and make sure that the denial isthat the income has been calculated accurately. That the developer is following the selection criteria. That we painstakingly approved prior to the lease up period. We often find we often assist cop holders and others appeal when they been denied. You know mike you get denied, if they come back at you and say sorry, you are denied its a discouragement factor can often take over. So then you say [inaudible] [inaudible] video summary of that says give you a call and says you are denied recognition appeal because maybe they should look at these extenuating circumstances it really helps and people to appeal. So for Pacific Point we had three appeals. They were denied for being under income and book barberi do not introduce brooke. Where is she quick this is broke barber shes the coordinator for the cop program. Brooke worked very hard and found resources for those three households that were denied being under income from the San Francisco aids Housing Alliance rental Assistance Program which is facilitated through the better Quebec Foundation she provided subsidies they provided subsidies so that the households only pay a third of their income and could still afford to move into Pacific Point. That is a really big deal because otherwise those households would been denied and they probably would have been denied for most housing except for housing were only pay a third of your income. So were pretty proud of the work brooke has done with the San FranciscoHousing Alliance. We have a housing Resource Management a copy of that come into it he would like to see that. We updatewe keep updated so that people when they are denied and there isnt anything we can do at least have resources to be able to work on the issues mother barriers, that theyve had for housing for perhaps find other Housing Resources that they might assist them in their housing needs. One of the exciting things that we are working on right now with easy fan Housing Development corporation. The San FranciscoHousing Development corporation received a grant from the Community Benefits program from the Implementation Committee of district 10 and to provide a rental Assistance Program and its not your average rental Assistance Program. Its directly targeted to cop holders and district 10 residence but it isit provides security deposits, back rent if you owe back rent they will let you move and to repay your own whammo. So back rent and other housing related money. In trade its not a grant. You have to attend their rental readiness and Financial Empowerment budgeting credit repair workshop in order to pay that money back. So that its like its not just here is your back rent payment but it is people coming in to get that education and get that Financial Empowerment is a trade for that assistance. They startthere many cop holders that are in enrolled in the program right now and we are working with [inaudible] to do a list of cop holders which is a good segue to tell you about our list of cop holders. But we currently mail out every time there is a new unit that comes online or new development that comes online we currently mail outweve Contact Information work 871 cop holders. Last year in 1516 112 of those 871 were actively looking for housing. Of the 871 251 have already used their certificate but people can use them twice. Once for rental and once for ownership. So there are 640 people we are mailing out to every time theres a development come a new development, that of not use their certificate. Of those 640 112 are really looking for housing. Im a tell you what we did this year. This year we added 111 new Certificate Holders to make up that 871. Of the new Certificate Holders 157 people applied for housing. That means that some Certificate Holders are playing more than once which is great. They should be because they have choices. So this year it was a big choice year. It was dr. Davis and Pacific Point. Theres Willie B Kennedy was very attractive to our cop holders. We were able to house 44 people this year. Last year, 23. The year before that, 17 get i think it is a big deal among 44 new people getting house. 10 folks returned to San Francisco from outside communities. Richmond, oakland, san mateo [inaudible] [off mic] there you go. Okay. We were able to accomplish this in part because pam is so great but the other part you might remember this commissioner bustos you might remember this. In 2010 the commission at that time solicited a peoples Search Company that looked up date of birth and Social Security numbers and heads of household that were on ourdouble displaced tenants list and that research was delivered in just about the time that dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency happen in 2012 and so we follow through with that and sent outthey discovered 1001 households 1000 or 64 households they felt were eligible for a certificate of preference program. We sent out mailings to all those people andmy eyes are not getting any younger. We got a lot of undelivered mail undeliverable mail. But we also were able to reach 104 people. We added 104 people to that list because of that mailing. The majority did not respond you we did get mail returned undeliverable but there were 104 that were actually responded and either they knew they were certificate of preference holders and they just didnt think they were going to use it but they did decide to reissue the certificate or they had no idea that they were certificate eligible and because they were children when their household was displaced to a lot of those people have housing already but they were very happy to know this was an option for them perhaps as they grew older or in the future so get quite a few people who expressed interest and send back a form saying theyve expressed interest but then have not follow through with the rest of the paperwork but we will keep following through with them to get the paperwork turned in. So that is one thing that we did this you. The other thing is that wei tell you, this is been quite a blessing working with bayview Senior Services. Bayview Senior Services this cop program is one of their main goals is to seek out eligible seniors that could apply for a certificate in them might not realize that they qualified. Kathy davis, one of her goals was to get as many cop holders as possible into dr. Davis Senior Housing. Through their Grassroots Outreach they had over 200 People Community members apply for certificate of preference. And we processed each and every one of those 215 people and actually able to identify 35 people, new people from those 200 that we were able to add to the certificate of preference program. Really quick story but a good story. We had a cop holder that applied to dr. Davis. She was homeless living in her car. With her two grown daughters and they were living in the car. We applied to dr. Davis and a do not qualify. They do not offer because the girl and daughters were not 62 years old. Each and every household member has to be 62 to get into dr. Davis. But since they came back into the fold, because the Bayview Senior Center grassroots in irish came into the folder found out about Pacific Point and Pacific Point has three bedroom units. So now here are three ladies living in a car and now heres three ladies living at Pacific Point in their own home that were previously displaced and eligible for a cop certificate thats. That is pretty powerful. We are forever grateful to bayview Senior Services for the type of outreach theyre doing. Another one. We had a mother who applied forcertificate or province over who is a mother who applied for dr. Davis. During the application process her daughter needed brain surgery she did not want to move. She was like, no, im focusing on my daughter. Ive got to get this daughter through the daughter was also a certificate of preference holder. So they let it go. They let the opportunity go. But then came along Willie B Kennedy so the mother the daughter is to the prospect she was able to apply for Willie B Kennedy got into Willie B Kennedy and rep working with the daughter was able to get her into a pmr city b mark inclusionary unit. They each now have their own spot. The daughter is healthy and it permanently Affordable Housing where they were in a tough spot before. So again they view Senior Services, we willwe value their relationship and will continue to work with them in the future. Dr. Davis senior residents. If you have not been there you should go. It is beautiful. Its really beautiful. 121 twobedroom units for seniors. 23 of those units were set aside for homeless households. The folks there pay 30 of their income in rent. There were 4139 applicants for 97 units. 74 certificate of preference holders applied. [laughing] 74 applied. This was a partnership with the San FranciscoHousing Authority and the Housing Authority did the first level of screening with Housing Authority rules and guidelines of the applicants. Of theof the 74 applied and im going to spend more of the 74 that applied to me six cop holders past the Housing Authority screening. They have federal guidelines for criminal background they must follow. They have a whole set of rules that are different than our own. Of those 36 past the Housing Authority screening, 26 were certificate of preference holders. We worked really hard with the Housing Authority to identify other potential cop holders that they might have missed from their list. They took for dr. Davis you had to been on Housing Authority waitlist in order to qualify for dr. Davis. So what we did is we did a search of the Housing Authority waitlist and when i say we, i mean barack barack. And found we did a search by Social Security number and so we were trying to identify another 16 more cop folks than the Housing Authority had originally identified a natural made up the 74. What happened to all those 40 people that did not get housing. Wellim sorrythere were 30 that either it was eithersweretheywishto. Thatsound slikealotofpeople. 15ofthosepeoplewerenoshows. Multiplepeople whenthehousingauthoritymostof them were personal stories. They didnt want to provide the documentation or more. Not that they didnt want to but they were not in a capacity to. Seven of those 30 actually withdrew. They want to live someplace else. They want to save their certificate in em should they do not want to live that dr. Davis. Eight folks we just could not get in contact with. There was just no response. Either the mail was returned, no phone number. There was no reaching him. Others were underage. Remember it was 62 or above. If you are not succeed you then you do not qualify. Only two households were over income for dr. Davis. Pacific points. Pacific point were 355thats one, two, three family bedroom units up to 50 ami. The rent in those units 964 would be the smaller onebedroom of two 1178 for the three bedroom units. There wereim sorry 2650 applicants for 59 units. 26 certificate of preference holders applied and 12 warehouse. What happened to those 14 people . Lets see. Five of them were over income. We had no response or they withdrew from eight of those folks. For withdrew and four we just could not reach. Then we have a credit issue from another household. I want to show you where the people came from. Thats kind of hard to read but in your packet you will see the districts the folks came from that applied for both of those projects both for dr. Davis and Pacific Point. You see most of the folks came from rate around the area. And wanted to stay in their area. Who were they . Wilsons dr. Davis was Senior Housing you see on the there were a lot of seniors house. But even a Pacific Point it was a good number of people between the ages of 4160. This is just head of household. Not family members. The next slide shows s s. I want to show youtell you also im sorry i confused you so much the different presentations. The original one that you have has blocked 51 decade in this see you can compare ds in the city in these units and so forgive me for not having that up on the screen right now. But you can see from 280 beale from these rental units 280 beale dr. Davis and Pacific Point the number of africanamericans housed is more than any give him and ive seen in my time. The same with Pacific Points. I strongly believe that is due in part to the number of certificate of preference holders that are there but also to the Grassroots Outreach it was done in those areas to make sure that people that actually live in those areas have a shot at the opportunity to live there. 280 beale was in that previous slide and i want to take the opportunity to talk olympic more about 280 beale. We did report on backi dont even know. Wasnt completed quite yet. He finished it in september. It was all leased up in september and were 12 cop holders that applied and six were housed. Three of them were denied for being under income and we do not have a subsidy account to help them. And three either did not come show up for an appointment or did not follow through with the required documentation. Then Hunters Point shipyard which we already reported on as well but we want to, as it closed those to this reporting period those were for sale units. Nine werethey were inclusionary so there were nine below market rate units, total of 88 units in the whole development and they were priced at 80 ami. 45 applicants for the nine bmr units and one civic of preference folder applied. None were housed. One person that applied was over income. We been in contact with her many times since then shes waiting for the shipyard. So she is waiting for the unit that has a higher income which there will be that she can apply for in the shipyard. We have got some fun things in progress right now. We are working on closing out two developments that we will report to you in the coming year. One is 72 townsend which is seven inclusionary bmr units in a developer with a total of 74 units. We had 269 applications for the seven bmr units which is a lot for home ownership. Six of those units have had folks identified and one is in escrow. Were no certificate of preference holders that applied for 72 townsend. Then the shipyard Hunters Point shipyard blocked 53 and 54 there were 16 bmr units. A total of 159. We had 80 applications for the 16 units. Six of those have closed escrow and six are in as good that some construction delays which they were resolved in their up and going again. Sue subject certificate of preference holders applied. None either one of them went into contract. One withdrew because the higher person got the unit that they wanted and they only wanted that units. So they didnt want to go forward with another unit. Then the other could not get loan approval. I difficult time getting loan approval the data section 8 voucher and so again once theyre in the fold, once they start becoming one of those 112 are actively looking we work with them. So we helped this household user section 8 voucher at inclusionary city ocd inclusionary bmr rental india she did get house just not at the shipyard. Weve got other projects in progress. Rental projects. Theres alice griffith. 68 tax credit units. We had 2008 or 39 applications for the 68 units. And 25 cop holders applied. We will know more about the fate of those 25 certificate of preference holders in the coming months. The just beginning their least off and so we dont we think theyre kind of active we dont want to report on it now and we get a solid information. Then hunters view block seven and 11 over 27im sorry 26 units. Their 1947 applications for those 26 units and six cop holders applied and again same situation will have more definitive information about what happened to those six holders as we get closer. We will report back to next year. Were this coming year. Next year is in a week, right. What is next . So much. We will continue with the value of work. We really are happy to have you guys come in and pull out your cell phones and look at the application once we get we get a unit. Once were officially launched with the program. With a database. So we are definitely continuing that work. And we are really really close. I cant reiterate that the Developer Team thats developing it wants me not to tell how close it is because theyre trying to watch it softly. Unlike kaman weve got to go. Ocii staff is working on a survey of cop holders and that is underway. Theyre working with to identify a vendor to help with that process so that is a pretty exciting process that im sure you be hearing much much more about. As jeff mentioned, the ellis act Housing Preference is no longer. Its now called the displaced tenant Housing Preference in april of this year the city expanded the ellis act Housing Preference to include people who have been evicted because of the owner move in. What we saw was that owner move ends were what theyre using even more than the ellis act because the fees are kind of high on the ellis act. You just say your niece is moving in thenim sorry i spoke too much. So that now includes we will come to you with more information about that. Secure input on back. The fair chance of ordinances something thats been around for several years and i dontwe want to come and talk with you about that in the future as well. Its the cities expand the box on the application. Dont ask about my criminal background until you are really looking at me as a tenant and then you can pull it it only go back seven years. Dont go back until i was 18 years old and now im 70. Then finally as jeff mentioned the neighborhood resident Housing Preference program which is something we shall be adopted by the city. We are looking at that. It is being applied to inclusionary units where it preference theres a setaside amount of units in a new building, new development that go to people that live in the district and a half mile radius of the new project. So they have a Housing Preference or apply for that developments. These are things we will talk more about in the future. But we will be continuing our work to make sure that we get more cop holders in the mix and in the fold and we take care of them so they can actually access the housing that they deserve and need. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Good job. Yes. Thank you. Lots of information. We will have questions but after i think we have one speaker card [calling Public Comment cards] i started james again, again certificate holder. As a matter fact we have four letters at my house requesting Certificate Holders to up like an none of my kids have applied yet. So i hope they apply and get out of my house. [laughing] its a real good job this program has done in getting Certificate Holders the information. This value of the flower thing theyre talking out i think thats a great idea even though im not computer savvy but i think that should be put on the certificate of preference when they send that information out so people who dopeople who would like to apply for housing thats not in the city and county of San Francisco can get that information. One of the other thingsi know you guys are coming up to the bayviewHunters Point for a commission meeting, one of the concerns of a lot of people who lived in their lived in west point for example applied for housing but they dont have San Francisco address because they moved out of their current homes but to, for example work for a the bus company thatlike apple and would have you the ones that google. Google. They apply for jobs but they were denied and they came to a meeting at the cac meeting and voiced their complaints. Theyre going to be coming to the meeting when you guys to come out into the community theres a lot of people who were raised in San Francisco who lived in the project areas both in the Western Addition, Hunters Point and other adjacent communities in San Francisco apply for Different Things but are being denied because theyre not certificate of preference holders. But they been in these communities all their lives. Some born and raised in these communities and their being told they cant get on the list and get a priority in that area. Im glad the last statement she made about people who are within a certain mile range can apply and get some kind of a acknowledgment and be accepted on these applications. I think thats a very good thing because a lot of people who i hear from applied and get rejected becausethen they ask why. My mother is still spinning opticbased dad is Still Standing up there and they are not there because they are grown and on their own and a couple of them apply for homeless housing. One i know received housing from that particular program. So i dont know what have to do that and they been here all their lives. What we did when we first started joining a lot of people when we fought and got specific purpose and came out of Hunters Point and was extended to Western Addition lot of people were living in the project area then and we were concerned about them because the Wartime Housing with the ones who got certificates. The People Living in the, say, in other parts of Western Point and what have you even though they been there as long as we been there they did not receive a certificate good so its always created a problem. So im glad that this particular program and brooke is doing a tremendous job. I called her several times on people who live in sacramento and she helped him out and a lot of them are in the dr. Davis housing. So i give ditto to this particular organization. I cant think of what their name is. Housing development but theyre doing a terrific job not to the public to know it could really happy with their work. Thank you. Okay, questions . I just have a comments. Theres a saying that at the end of like people remember not what you said but how you made them feel. I think the work you are doing exemplifies that. Youre giving people a home again in their home and it needs a whole lot that you guys have been working so hard that i know we have been pushing and pushing and pushing and you guys probably especially neat and dark, as weve been here long going back to read about a days about this whole issue of certificates of preference. Its about doing the right thing and i hope we can do the appeal process because people are pushed out not based on their Credit Scores or they were pushed out not based on their income. So we need to invite them back, not based on a Credit Scores or their income only to welcome them back based on what is right. So i just want to thank you all and i know pam, youve heard this so long just really appreciate the work that you have been put into in the heart and soul thats what makes this different. Thats where the city of st. Francis such a special place is because we we the we work hard to make people feel at home here. So i just want to applaud you guys for you done and now we can probably be more creative and key plo is an awesome Radio Station that i listen to a lot they do a lot of Community Service announcements. I know theres also some of the new stations have public segments that they do that maybe we can contact them and say, hey, this way to reach out. I think theres probably creative and inexpensive ways of getting the word out but really thank you so much for all your hard work. Its really appreciated. Thank you. Commissioner singh i also want to thank all the staff. They have been very hardworking and especially over there to see your executive director who did a marvelous job. Not last year but all the years i am here and my friend, jim morale us thank you very much. And once a happy holidays to everybody. Yes. I want to echo the comments of my fellow commissioners. I know the other two commissioners if they were here they would voice the same thank you. This is been for me as a commissioner kind of a long road. Mina first understanding the issue and then trying to understand why wasnt it easier for folks who are in first place to get in. I am certainly appreciating all the challenges but i do think the hour which the corridor nation of Services Without reach information and i think its something that was said. I think was it you, maria, its a given people that Second Chance at, yes, this is not like a process and disappointment. You may think you dont qualify. Your blow it off youre not the child of somebody comes in and says wait a sec. Lets work it this would die me thats giving hope to people. Hope leads to incentive incentive leads to action and hopefully a positive result. I want to commend everyone on this reported a very gratified. Overly the mayor gets some of these reports as well. Because it would be nice to know as you said tiffany earlier on that everyone talks about our migration of the africanamerican population but theres not enough conversation about what exactly happening to her burst that trend. So those are my comments that i had a couple of questions because i was hearing information all these questions come up. I promise not to be too long. One of them is which i thought very interesting is in the map about wherei think its slide 19 on this one which is the applicant address location dr. Davis apartment and Pacific Point apartment. Its interesting to me there is a cluster as you said in district time. So my natural reaction is, happens to the housing that folks are leaving to go into these . Im assuming is that rental housing or maybe theyre living with other folks. They might be couched serving this idea of People Living in a car makes me crazy i dont have any real doubt just anecdotal data about like where they came from. [inaudible] [off mic] lets hear it pam sims. Actually from district 10 the majority of the people were living in district 10 living with relatives. They were paying a modest rent to live with relatives. Sometimes the relatives are upset because they were leaving. Because that diminish the income coming into the household. But the majority of these individuals would have dr. Davis was like a new lease on life and just a quick note. Those of you who did not attendand i dont know if you are invitedbut the Bayview Senior Center had their Holiday Party last friday and i highly recommend if they have a party next year you attend because it was rocking. Seniors, the seniors there was a band. People are playing pool. Food. It was very nice. The cross workers but ive a pair of vans that is pickens made shes 100 years old. They are amazed. You feel a lot of love when you go there. Nice. I could go on and ask about your question we can follow up later. This was very informative. Thank you. Okay.
