Oh, that one is on tuesday everybody for coming out, i am glad ive heard the testimony and thank you for those who speak in favor were unanimously supportive of voter 16 we thought we could do more today to encourage for young people to get involved in the process and understand their right to vote and get educated about that we know from all of the studies in voting behavior that voting the earlier, you start the more likely to vote throughout your life so i was pleased to cosponsor that with commissioner fewer and excited to see us implement this in our democracy classes this year to have young people to understand they have a voice and power thank you. Commissioner fewer. I want to say thank you to the student delegates for according and thank you for commissioner norton for taking the lead on this resolution im proud to put my name on the resolution the average voting age is 18 we need to get younger people involved quite frankly and to register 5 thousand new voters every year api ive been a voter for 40 years since 19yearold i know yeah.

Commissioner wynns im very supportive i wanted to say thank you to all the students for coming out we have this important part of crime i wanted to point out the speaker that came out we should recognize this policy is a Charter School we need to have not our responsibility but accident youth leaders in the city needs to work with Charter Schools to make sure they do this kind of work but they dont do it so well you know i do know weve had some interesting Media Coverage we had a number of Charter Schools that is a off well do that isnt that great weve doing innovation so im glad were able to be a beacon to privatize schools but just for the record to clarify that.

time to battle with Insurance Companies all kinds of things make it difficult again thats why we celebrate those opportunities this franciscan towers a hundred and 4 units of Affordable Housing the middle of tenderloin reopening the middle of a housing crisis and so it is blessed with being is very, very helpful solution to many and i know that supervisor kim understands this she and i have been working to get more Affordable Housing built if not rehabbed and also the middle of that whether a conversation or working with the fact private developers or work with our city tame family to produce more housing we made a commitment at least 10 thousand affordable units built by 2020 this helps interpreting the fact story is not just about the fact this is rehabbed and reopened lives have been here the middle of tenderloin that also need to be rebuilt thats why this investment is too important thats why the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development corporation valued in the city they keep increasing that portfolio of love i call it actually up to 33 different proposals the city in directly helping 6 thousand plus people to make sure they do more than survive in the city this is what the fact tndc does we we partner up so the clerk will take the roll with them and more to come i i know that portfolio they got a lot of projects weve got to announce and we have in a had your we dont want to take 5 years to do this when you look at the building you see how it was damaged and and the units that are very, very small studios are one bedrooms 95 e 35 of the one and 35 are dedicated to formally Homeless People this is incredible and burglary hips oh, help us with our challenge facing the fact homeless as i this more Navigation Centers and add Supportive Housing working with the fact board to make sure we can do with the last round and were going to get 8 thousand people off the fact streets by the end i finish that will no longer have to be a victim this is our promise behind the fact naefktss and the nexusere building so we dont have to talk about the fact shifters we have access out of homelessness and that projects like this the middle of communities like the tenderloin are really important to getting that story completed i want to say thank you to the tndc and all the corporate sponsors others are are part of solution to make sure that the financial part of this is done because thats when what is it takes Creativity Initiative financed not just again money but the creative relationship with the fact Financial Products that really helps to accelerate this housing and

for the fact elephant e tenant and the former building that were patient and the team of people that have brought this to fruition congratulations to the corps clapping. thank you, mayor ed lee please welcome supervisor jane kim clapping. i just want to congratulate the entire team that, maam r made this happen 0 over the last 4 years a tremendous mulch work to building that after a major fire actually, i think this happened on a tuesday 5 years ago i left really late that evening around 8 30 i decided to have dinner and the middle of the are dinner i heard a major fire i ran over here and got to talk to the tenants at the alexander across the street and it was my first time experiencing a major fire as member of the board of supervisors and it is incredibly frightening one of most unfortunate things when a major disaster you have a responsible and consciousness Property Owner with a protocol portfolio to house the fact tenants i just have to congratulate tndc thats one of the most did the things to actually, the humans were enacted and the fact staff did a tremendous job providing a compassion that for weeks to come after to find new housing and help support people with the fact tradition and work quickly in fact, i had little work in the case of my first fire because the fact frng was taking care of and had staff on hand and work to make sure that tenants were able to transition i think actually in many ways a bigger accomplishment that tenant didnt move back they were able to find permanent housing they felt was secure and wanted to stay in this is actually new housing and will house many that individuals that live on the fact streets it is a tremendous accomplishment i want to say this because this is as an opportunity to talk about tndc and the fact Partnership Im lucky to serve under a mayor with Affordable Housing is clearly his top priority for the fact city and an extensive history to have as much Affordable Housing and well Work Together to secure the gap furnld for the fact what will be Affordable Housing for formally homeless families an eddietaylor a tremendous project were able to work with tndc and the Mayors Office to get the fact funding for the 5 m project project and excited for a project coming online weve been talking about the fact fortunate we we have in long time institutions like be tndc that will have been building in the tenderloin for decades thats in many ways why the tenderloin continues to be a working class neighborhood we have nonprofit and leader this stuck around for decades to continue doing this work and one of the reasons i love tndc and come back and see the fact same people continuing to do the fact work with the a testament hard to find nonprofits to do that and frankly you get paid this to d this work yet you believe in it and a tremendous leadership to run an organization that people continue to believe in and finally i just want to acknowledge your organizers go amazing work clapping. ive saying this because because wants legislation and funding more Affordable Housing the community didnt come out and residents not informed at the local and state level putting pressure on the stories
