And so for this particular development we did for Human Resources repurposed 13 positions we can utilities utilizes weve been in the process of a new qualities progress called lean that looked at not wasting dollars time and particularly Patient First and how to go good morning o become reduce the wait time for people in the intrment and so were acting asking for one . 4 million to do that and be looking at that throughout the improvement of our quality and reducing waste and providing better care to our patients. Have you been with us for a couple of years weve been developing many enterprise and electronic records has to do with with how we improve revenue and how we can improve the care we have 60 systems and we are now trying to really bring alls r of those together and enterprise the Health Records particularly several one in primary care and one this is hospital and that is a 10 year costs of 373 million our current proposal is 15 million in spending for 20182019 and these integrated systems will replace the Building Systems will go away weve incorporated those saiftsz into the cost and personally in an rfp currently issued for those to have are a hopefully through 2017 through the negotiations and our final contract by january 2018 and were supporting citywide initiatives on Mental Health with the Substance Abuse a disorders and opening up a hump bird a 15 bed and Transit Program whole person care provided federal government match to really were working closely with the department of homelessness helping them set up theyre it system and to share we have a segregated model looking at the most afford individuals in the city to get care but were using that opportunity to also really focus on whole person care 5 hundred and 70 people that are in the you get care in ogunmans going to the hospitals we received almost 5 million for Law Enforcement assisted diversion and working right now in the station at the 16th street bart as well as city center we have part of that were working with the Police Department average sighting not just that but more hands off on the site and a transport individuals to programs for example, the Probation Department will open up their Community Center twentyfour hours a day helps those in jail when they get out at two or three in the more than and helping with the delores street with the health and safety and that will be adding to twentyfour hour program involved with our Police Department District Attorney and public defender theyre all involved just to show our over time zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital as a 4. Million this is due to new work flows of a new building and utilization for the hospital represents 3 percent of the sailor budget forever zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and a 23 percent spending of overtime. Laguna honda expects 7 had hundred and 50 thousand for 67 million in addition over time requesting 24 7 services and working with laguna honda as you may know the laguna honda is not a place for people to stay forever it is a field nursing and rehab to get People Better because were focused on more vulnerable populations some require a 24 7 siter in addition to the regular nursing staffing model that represents 5 percent of laguna Salary Budget and plus over time. Thats the end of my presentation look forward to any questions and also have our cfo who can answer detailed questions. I see supervisor sheehy has a few questions. First thank you for your presentation and i also want to thank you for your long term commitment to hiv aids and we have historically back filled hiv aids cuts running white. Were in conversation with the Mayors Office regarding some of those i believe that were in negotiations with those Mayors Office. Regarding those with our budget staff are here, too. And then i want to ask you know scott Supervisor Scott Wiener passed legislation requiring health and Human Services to have Sexual Orientation on july 1st. So was that on track well, were really proud of that because we helped him with the legislation we had a head start to looking other policies a year before Supervisor Scott Wiener started that particularly we were doing reassignment surgery for transgender and hard to do a Business Plan we cant identify the number of people but because of our hiv work identifying people with a specific population were well on the way as we develop our electronic Health Records do the implementations with all of the assistance we have as time times put in the collections of data we are doing that. Great, thank you. Because trump is just the administration has stopped the collection of data. That means at the local level will be more important. Exactly finally you know Behavorial Health is a you talk a little bit about that but i want to thank you for establishing the hump bird Navigation Center that is the substitute is that right. But can you talk about that about the behavorial expansion especially for young people in the age of 24. One of the things i think that weve done really well, in the department to continue to do better is we have a Funding Source that allows us to bill for Mental Health services our el cap dollars we can leverage for every 0. 10 bring in 90 credence from the federal government and once they get to the adult level 50 percent on that manage the expansion request the dollars and trying to get ahead of 24yearold individual with foster care those individuals leaving the foster you care are in the arresting cardiac population we adding one middle to our original apps and working with our Homeless Department looking that with housing and Supportive Services it is a population that we continue to have to work on in our lead project r program an tell us every new Funding Sources we look at the case population that is such an important population we really want them to get that theyre at a specific Development Stage in their own lives many times put in with 50 years old over the years specific programs and continue to get better in the future. Great, thank you. All right thank you. Colleagues any other questioning questions. Supervisor yee. Just looking at the the fourth slide i think i understand this the 2. 1 million budget is is 21 percent of the citys budget meaning i guess city budget is 10 million isnt; is that correct. Okay. Then he understand better never mind. The pie chart you have two pieces of pie one from the Mental Health and one for jail health. Uhhuh. Is there any overlap between that i think you this applies to the Mental Health jail and thats a great question. Jail health is 30 Million Program 33 million we have a behavorial component to that i think it is about 8 million and the rest is really nursing and medical services that includes twentyfour hour nurses and assessments of people that come in and remember that 65 percent of the people coming in into jails dont stay very long so a large resources on the back end to help people get back to the system of care the opportunity for us when people come to jail to get them prepared for medical and manage any of their Behavorial Health issues by maintaining their care when necessary came in if we were in a Behavorial Health system for example, on medication to make sure they have the medication and when they get discharged to get a warm hand off to the care one thing during the ac a development before people come into the jail and their medical will be disconnected now with h s a they get put on hold and as individuals leave that is put off and people get back on, on medical if they dont hsa is getting people on medical so that would be a repetition not part of health and safety an area that we focus on. So i think you mentioned 18 million. Did you mention 18 millions for Mental Health in the jails. How much is the 34 million. I believe it is almost 10 millions ill get details. So your answer is that that 10 millions is not include in the 306 million. I dont believe ill get that confirmed. When anyone goes to tailing jail were not allowed to draw down revenue as i look at this across the country so many instances of Jail Services system because entities have to put in general fund we cant draw down medical quality is different and some go to private providers so that is hard to work cross the state on jail Health Services were considered one of the best and one of the most funded Jail Services ill say in the country. Can you clarify the over time amounts again, this is just the budget amount is not an increase or nothing is that. Ill let my colleague talk about the details. Supervisors greg wagner cfo for the department of wanting on the slide that is a previous as you may know under the we need to return for appropriation of over time above what was in the budget is within the current budget we have a need to participate in that over time supplemental that will be coming before you so there is 4. 5 million over time spending on behalf of budget and that hundred and 50 thousand at laguna honda, however, those are funded from within the existing budget so well be reappropriately dollars from salary and fringe within our own budget to fund that over time your offer times hours are higher than budget but funded from within other line items a lot of the reason for that ask particularly at the sf g as we move into the hospital and the proclamations are adopting with a new level of services and ramping up the hiring a theres been a need to backfill the hours until we get permanent staffing in place we have relatively modest level of overall over time we work hard to control that to the best of our ability and my last question in regards to the zuckerberg fund the amount that i will is stabilizing the delivery other sponsors 9. 7 million is that it says ongoing support i thought that was a one time a big amount for one time only. It is ongoing what the weasel talk about the new building didnt know what the staffing pattern will be needed we have the new facility and greg you have any additional . Yes. That is exactly correct we had a staffing model that was developed prior to moving into the new hospital as we had experience with the staffing and the number of opted out beds were experiencing as well as some of the work flows that are required to operate in the new building there are areas where we are above what we anticipated when we went into the opening of new hospital we had a fund that was allocated f and particularly for the purpose of judgements as we got used to the new hospital and identify the actual staffing pattern one time funding and now making a correction based on the 3 4ths of our staffing level well monitor and adjust that as we go forward and get more experience with the actual staffing patterns. So as stated in the handout ongoing support and so i guess my question interpretation is ongoing for like many, many years or is that ongoing for yeah. A fair question so the proposed budget includes that for the twoyear budget so we budgeted it for 20172018 and 20182019 at those levels well hover as we go into 20172018 be evaluating that and then adjusting it as needed as we get into the twoyear budget so we have a rolling that twoyear budget were making a forecast for the second year if we can bring that down well do so in next years budget process for the 20182019 so it is an estimate of what we believe the ongoing staffing cost will be for the hospital based on the lovely of consensus and the operations. You think that youll have the analysis when again. Well that is a constant process were constantly evaluating those figures are for the first 9 months we have taken our actual payroll and prorjd that forward we are monitoring our salary spending and staffing patterns literally months and months so it is a controlled process that we have and do it every year and doing it even more comprehensively given the fact in a new building and still learning about that were evaluating it and making adjustment i spent by the Time Next Year we have new information and salary data and fringe data we can look to adjust this as we do every budget practice. Thank you very much. To add it it i just wanted to reassure the board of supervisors we do is really good data a staffing requirement that for the ever bed we have had to have for every patient a solid number and track our expenses and like overtime and project that building a new facility and growing in that facility were seeing the adjustment now. I appreciate. Thank you very much director garcia and appreciate the thoughtfulness in your presentation and work youre doing colleagues no further questions go to Public Comment. Lamenting time for Public Comment youll have two minutes a thirty second chime indicating a soft chime thirty seconds remaining seeing none, Public Comment is closed. All right. So may i if no further discussion entertain a motion to file that motion to file that item. Second. There we go. Without objection that item passes. Could you call the next item. 20172018 and 20182019, and requesting the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing to report. Great the main event thank you for being here mr. Jeff all right. Appreciate the presentation all right. Are you ready. Yes. Were ready too take it away. Thank you, supervisors jeff with the department of homelessness and supportive of housing want to walk you through where the our new department is at in terms of the progress in addressing homelessness in San Francisco and the talk about an overall the budget as you may know the department of homelessness is the meeting of programming staff and funding from the multiple departments with the hsa and the department of health our mission to make homelessness in San Francisco a rare breed and nonreoccurring thing for as many people and reduce the number of people that become homeless and reduce homelessness on our streets as you may know san franciscans have identity homelessness as the number one, issue facing the community in our 2015, 7 thousand individuals homeless and 52 percent were 14er8d versus 48 unsheltered making us one the highest citys in terms of the homeless that are unshe recalled and three percent of the survey respondents were kohn homeless homeless for a year or longer and some for the o form of disability key strategies with first of all, the creation of the new department addressed implementing the coordinated entry system working with other city departments most notably the police and public works to address the homelessness on the streets as well as working towards are long term state funding into the department and with the philanthropy and he strengthening coordination this map youll see this is how the system works and the result of funding in multiple departments fractured system and individuals that are homeless trying to navigate it is inefficient we are working towards the coordinated entry will look like that. Back to the last slide you said this is a picture illustration of what youre. Current system looks like. Okay. Yep. It is essentially each one the arrows represents a path someone needs to take to assess the services at the need. Their defendant agencies or departments that are initially those arrows. Multiple agencies and multiple departments. How many. 70 organization that are currently providing services. Okay continue. And also this is a very much waiting list system you get into one line and get into awaiting list and your turn to get assess to the services were hoping to change it through a system called coordinated entry that is used across the country and the state of connecticut organized their services more efficiently manner and essentially the way it works when an individual is homeless theyll come into our system and triage if there was an emergency situation Domestic Violence everyone is assessed once every line when a person gets to the end of the line their assessed and asked questions about their status and how the became homeless this is one assessment that will be assessable by all provider and rather than people being put on waiting lists assigned to the appropriate resource rather than people that have other paths getting assess to the very valuable and limited permanent and supportive of Housing Stock there be determined who gets both that housing this will also having all of that managed by one daylight system have a better system of accountable weeping well be able to track the individuals through the system and be able to track Nonprofit Organizations how theyre performing and track interventions to built more accountability into the system and then the resources that we will have available under coordinator entry been naektsd and temporary you housing like stabilization unit and individuals will is short time subsidies to Supportive Housing we will be focusing on trying to divert people out of the system inspiring this is something that San Francisco masz has not done as well, however, homeward bound is an attempt to get them out of the system towards loved one and well be experience with ways to divert pole people out of system and working at the back end of the system when people are living in the supportive of housing that can be costly one thing theyll no longer need the services we have a service call moving on for people to move on using the house of choice or is section 8 voucher and started that with the Housing Authority and going well, we have currently access to three hundred and 50 section 8 vouchers were using and that means we will place an additional three hundred and 50 people into the Housing Stock this year some the progress well, the city during the 5 year period if january 2011 to december 2015 facilitated 20 thousand people some have permanent and supportive of housing a similar to the Homeward Bound Program and rapid housing that is a subsidies one time intervention we were hoping to expand not only didnt rely on the costly and time consuming process of building where you see more housing provides people are an one time intervention to exit homelessness im sorry director. Absolutely. Just one question on the slide the progress to debate and how many numbers of fascinate homeless from january to i guess 2011 to december 2, 0160, do you have a breakdown of an average year by year im wondering in terms of how much or how much weve have found and able to help with the exit. We have that information i dont know those numbers off the top of my head but get those to your office. Okay some of the other progress since weve opened opened up 4 hundred 50 units and a 93 bed Navigation Center on 12 and Market Street the residents found permanent exits in homelessness and encampments weve get a team that resolved 9 encampments of 7 that are resolved footing people have not returned to camp in the location and 72 percent of people went to a temporary shelter or program some of the milestones were expecting during the next year there are well be opening up 4 new naefktsz humbling bird by the department of health and two new housing building the national and auburn hotel for single adults we will begin rolling out the data migration spots entry system well be managing the process i spoke about and deploying fund for Youth Homelessness we received a 2 housing unit 8 million grant from the federal government and actually got a meeting were working with providers and aged youth how to deploy that funding and have additional funding to help address chronic homelessness through the be car act a medical waiver were working with the district weve received a first round of funding and applied for the second we are in the process of completely redesigning the family Services System that will begin well have that implemented starting in july which will lead the goal to reduce the average length of homelessness from 15 months that is the time families are homeless trying to reduce that to 90 days in the years and lastly the moving on initiative ive spoken about as far as our budget our basis level is 200 and 9 million that is 20 million as part of mayors rebalancing plan ti percent of the funding from the general fund the majority from the federal government we have one and 20 employees youll see the vast majority 82 is grant to Nonprofit Service providers the withhold 10 percent of the budget to the department of health be primarily for Health Services and 8 first for staff and administrative costs how this is broektd into the Program Investments on the following slides that is important to remember that were better late than never the button and the number of people the vast majority 71 percent used for housing and subsidies not to serve 8 hundred thousand people on the streets but house were providing subsidies to approximately 9 thousand people who are maintaining in permanent supportive of housing if the private market and 18 percent of the budget is on temporary nates or beds a small podium is spent on Resource Centers and outreach and transitional housing and as far as you know we have Robust Service system here in San Francisco i think wereable we will be able to do better with what we have i think, however, gaps in the system that exist that are not currently budgeted for i think that some of the needs we pointed out are the need for a twentyfour hour hot center for people to bring people to assess and hygiene facilitates get a sandwich a place a break from the students we obviously need more temporary shelter beds one thousand people to shelter on any given night were running at a 4 percent go vacant due to no shows a need for temporary beds i think there is a lot promise in a flexible housing shortterm subsidies to give poem one time assistance sometimes helping to pay a Security Deposit but have a go Global Warming policy of funding to help people exit homelessness without assess or waiting for access to permanent supportive of housing in this model people can use that money to go where they want to they dont have to find housing in San Francisco and we help subsidy that that is an eminent opportunity to experiment with that model thats been successful in other communities and probably the biggest gap in our encouragement system and need more permanent supportive of housing especially for chronically homeless deputies a transition age youth and Family Housing in the pipeline, however, we are currently working with the Mayors Office of housing and, of course, with the Budget Office on bringing new units of supportive of housing in the pipeline no one is in our current budget but hopefully adding unit for single adults we have not built open for chronically run by a nonprofit in 2011 and 12 but a program called no place lie home well be investing capital to help to build now housing be happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor tang go ahead. Sorry. Oh, my goodness. Sorry about that on your last point i didnt realize in the peter cohen, San Francisco council of Community Housing organizations. For chronically homeless single adult and not built singles 2011 in the population the families or single adults or the population in terms of where the need is. So were actually finally seeing a reduction in the number of families and think well see a slight reduction in the Youth Homeless that is he trending upwards ill existed about the fact we are in the right direction the fact it is unshe recalled adults in the city and again, i think that is some of that has to do with with the fact weve opened up master lease housing for single adults not opened up the high quality housing that serves the disabled and single difficulties for quite a few of the but no place like home well restart the pipeline and want to add that is in part due to the fact that most of housing that is about the in the past was built with redevelopment funding the redevelopment went away theres a last state bond prop 47 i believe most of funding has gone away but no place like home will kickoff that and glad for the new program and seeing now housing opening up. How much money. That is roughly 95 million. Over the course of over the course however long that takes us to spend it well be politically to the state to rather than apply on a Housing Units by housing unit building basis politically for an allocation of the fund and the city will distribute those and well be working with the Mayors Office of housing. Last question in terms of increase in the homeless single adults want to get a sense of the level of increase especially in comparison for the decrease in the youth and families. We dont have the finally numbers at this point, i dont want to guess we should have those numbers in a month or so. Okay. Thank you. Supervisor sheehy. Yes, thank you for your presentation he really want to ask specifically about young people in my district especially in the castro the situation is getting worse and a probably the single Biggest Issue of the constituents that young people in the castro the population is growing and not much you success you and i have talked thank you. I know you have the federal grant but i feel that might barely make a dent. It is a significant investment 2 housing unit 8 million for 3 years that is growing and getting becoming permanent if our continuing care from the federal government so i think that is actually has a Significant Impact i dont want to say i think that is important we hear from young people and youth providers i dont want to stand here and say this is how the money will be used but some of the things we should think about being more aggressive to have families reunite with families overtime you have left the family former whatever reason the family is part of a problem not part of solution and need to find ways maybe not returning to a parent but another Family Member and great models around coop housing a Great Program we are looking at that has been successful in france for the age youth to seniors that require assistance clearly selecting people not suffering from Mental Health issues but a lot of i think avenues we can explore in addition, were opening up 80 beds for youth and we discussed with Barbara Garcia were going to work with our current providers were doing outreach in your district to try to get folks connected better to some of the services that are available some of the drop in Centers Available in the haight and in the tenderloin and also working to coordinate better through my staff and Public Health getting access to Treatment Services so i believe this new funding will make a significant difference as well as the new units of permanent supportive of housing coming online for the transitioning youth. The last at this time 16 hundred young people on the streets so 80 beds and i also note that will half of them 48 are lgbtq theyve come and refuges i hope were mindful of that and the health needs are drama 13 percent in that count is hiv positive for that age it is it is staggering it feels like a Public Safety crisis i hope we get the aids those are kids from al tun that harry brought in years ago i want to ask the same question i asked Barbara Garcia about other collection of peoples Sexual Orientation we actually can name a team in the absence of the federal government doing anything. Well be collecting data on the people were providing services and know who is in the system but who needs help and who are the services were providing serving qualifying based on gender Sexual Orientation and race, etc. To make sure we have to 40 percent of the population our people of color we certainly make sure that 40 percent of people that are assessing our services are people of color right now that is difficult to engage that 014 databases that are attracting Homeless Services within the next 18 months well be able to report on a daily basis whose in the system and you can see. Thank you. Commissioner yee. Thank you chair. You mentioned that the families that were homeless and i think you said the population that the homelessness is theyre getting the services they need or their i guess theyre doing be better than in the past. Yep. So can you kind of highlight whats his name contributing to this i guess trending towards success. Since mayor ed lee is in office a 44 percent increase in spending on homelessness in the units to supportive of housing for are formally homeless families and rapid housing is a temporary subsidy to scale up the approaches family homelessness for for example, in the Unified School District in 2007 we saw a really large spike in family homelessness going from 8 hundred kids in the San Francisco Unified School District in 2007 who are experiencing homelessness to over 23 hundred children by 2013 or 14 those numbers are down were at 19 hundred students in the San Francisco Unified School District that still far too in one in every 3 students were heading in the right direction and been between the School Integrity and philanthropies we are in the process of raising public funding for the programs that is really along with the redesign of the system were working on we think once in a while well drive the numbers we want to reduce the number of times the families become homeless we wont prevent 100 percent of the homeless there will be dons donors we are making sure that no family is unshe recalled we have enough beds so families should not be sleeping on the streets and religiously the amount of time to 90 days or less when children exercise trauma they suffer from permanent slow down in their development and want to prevent that obviously will really im excited about the trend were heading in and feels like we have a Clear Pathway on that issue. Do we have estimation in the last 3 years how many units are available he made available new ones for families and same question for jake and i dont have those numbers off the top of my head but provide those to you easily today. First, i know some of the develops in the books before the mayor so i dont count those as even though every mayor takes credit for everything it is more of the last 3 years probably would be troibltd to his effort and what is in the books in regards to the next few years. Well get you that information. I guess on the flip side of creating the units do you know look at data in regards to evictions and, yes. And whether or not that has slowed down i mean this is probably in correlation through addiction and homelessness. In terms of our supportive of housing our eviction is less than 2 percent we should be proud of that the department of health and hsa that are primarily managing this to the department and provider done an excellent jab force the corelation between eviction and single adult homelessness there is not a lot of data didnt mean it didnt exit but doesnt show theyve contributed to the adult homelessness im sure that is not the case but given the there in rent compared to the increase in homelessness and the there in evictions there is not a strong correlation, however, we know that given the case it of housing it is hard for for the purpose get into the Housing Market once homeless thats why we see a significant number of people that choose to move outside of San Francisco to find housing that is affordable a number of units that are available 28 person you know they dont become available very often. Thank you thank you. All right. Thank you very much jeff thank you for your presentation a very how level but this is budget as you may know well get into the meat in the early part of june but something i want you to think about is evaluating what the county of los angeles they passed a bond measure 3. 6 billion if im not mistaken that will be a steady stream of income for the next years i want you to analyze that and we can did you this in San Francisco so possibly we can begin do find a dedicated stream of income to help us begin to attack that based on the numbers youre doing a great job and spend a lot of money i believe we need a lot of money in order to move the needle and providing the much noted services that our Homeless Population needs correct me if i am wrong i found disposition in conversation with you living and breathing in San Francisco and watching what is going on but la might be onto something i want to have a thoughtful conversation not at that hearing but in the future in a thoughtful way bringing out. Thank you so they passed two measures the bond make sure m pursue was replicating the Housing Trust capital to build for supportive of housing i want to point out that San Francisco has supported housing for than any other city i am paying attention they have generated the sales tax im going to los angeles to speak to the county supervisor and the staff in the organization be happy to report back. Im glad to hear that i reached out to the president of the board of directors and had that be a team player i dont want to be only criticizing without coming with xhuveng well be able to take away the key principles and agreed only 47 priorities before they brought it to the voters the county board of supervisors agreed on 47 principles are priorities where the money will be spent that is incredibly important when youre talking with voters they want to know how and where the money will be spent we should be prepared to answer i also got my hands on powell data so id like to compare and share notes tactfully attack the challenges and with that said, gap and services a bulletin point on the last point with the Navigation Center ive been accurately anticipating with the Navigation Center in the dog patch is the 25 and it was no easy task to find that location we were scheduled to open in march of this year and then i was told april 15th and here we are it is still closed i know there are challenges and effects their back in the saddle and moving in the direction you im trying to get a feeling when we can expect this Navigation Center to be open. Well be open by the end of may. Okay by the end of may we heard that. On the roared record and i want to hear the place between San Francisco district 10 and 9 are shouldering some of the responsibility in housing and opening Navigation Centers i think supervisor yee wants one and mark wants two, how do we make this happen. Were happy to speak with you know any supervisor or Community Group interested sea communities clearly to identify the funding but overtime if you imply the challenges finding the location and making that happen needs 15 thousand temporary beds and whether we call them Navigation Centers or shelters we feed to increase the number of temporary beds that takes the burden that is shared by district 10, 9 and 6 and happy to share with you specific breakdowns of where those services are by districts and but i have gotten you, you know positive feedback if every supervisor we have multiple sites were looking at. Are you looking at multiple sites. Across the city and correct me if i am wrong im making an summation but homeless in every nook and cranny in San Francisco. There are homeless yes. Is there not to my knowledge we need to know. So many things but i look forward to sharing with you our Strategic Plan that is almost done that will answer some of the questions in terms of specifically the gaps in the system and how many units of housing do we need and specifically how many shelter beds and think about where we want to invest additional funding should we be able to identify a dedicated revenue stream. Amazing you have a hard job we recognize that and here to support all right. Thank you for your presentation can i sorry Public Comment on this item. Any Public Comment on this item . Come on up to the podium and hear a soft chime no Public Comment is closed. All right. Please item 3 oh, wait i need a motion i need a motion. To file the hearing. Motion and seconded by supervisor yee and well take that without objection. Thank you very much next item, please. Item no. 3 hearing to receive a budget update from the Human Services agency for fys 20172018 and 20182019, and. All right. The second work is the harder workingman in San Francisco jeff topped you a little bit but in terms incredibly important work you and your team are doing so welcome back to the Budget Finance Committee committee. Nice to see you all as well im fairly familiar with the work that jeff is doing. I know you are. Members of the board executive director. Sfgovtv were ready for you on the laptop. Not quite weve still got the hamster on the whole i, start you have the slides in front of you. A Highlevel Mission for the agency first of all, as you may know the Human Services agency it come phrased of 3 the department of aging Adult Services, the drs and the office of early care and education we do this because the administrator arm of Human Services supports all 3 departments we do that to create the efficiency and save money i know you appreciate so the vision we have for the city that San Francisco is a Diverse Community children and youth and deputies and seniors have thriving and safe more specifically the mission of the agency to promote the wellness and selfsufficiency amongst the community in the city who do we serve we serve san franciscans disadvantaged so disadvantaged in a number of ways mostly economically disadvantaged in crisis or unable to be a part of the community we do this through income support programs and direct benefits other Supportive Services that are childcare and employment Replacement Services to promote the selfsufficiencies and protect services to shield against abuse Child Services or child abuse as well as seniors and then with family and Community Building services to help the individuals to reach tare potential was this reflects the contract with the communitybased partners a number of programs to help you facilitate what i talked about but 3 broad Program Goals that cut across all of where we administer that is to provide the safety net to low income persons not able to support themselves the second is promoting selfsufsz within the working four seniors and the disabled and the third reflects the protection of the agency to preserve and protect the children and adults and older adults and adults with disabilities so a few slides that give you an understanding of the funding of the agency so this shows you a breakdown of the 3 departments as well as the mist arm of hsa, hsa is half and the Human Services mostly entitlement programs but the protection of Children Department of aging Adult Services, is about thirty percent and office of early care well be presenting next week i believe is 10 percent the Program Support the admin is 10 percent that is the contract support and it, personnel, fiscal and contracting and the like so the Program Groups further and later in any presentation ill talk specifically about most of programs but a high level the programs we administer i ask this is primarily a provider for wages to provide inhome care core for people with disabilities and older adults family and Children Services the Child Welfare is the next largest and im not going to walk you through but ill go into further detail in a minute pr the Funding Source is i think more important than ever given i call it silly hall. The transition in d. C. With the new administration in terms of federal money and who this is legitimately at risk this is the state piece that is 14 percent but two sections named realignment one and two are detected Revenue Streams that fund sp several of our programs one ask the list of entitlements i h ss and apps the department of aging Adult Services so, now into the into the program ill start with department of children, youth close to 20 percent of our budget known as Child Welfare Services Protects children if abuse and neglect and finding places for people to see farther into the reunification with their parents or adoptions or emaciation from our services to dulled hood the graphic you see that from the overarching goal of Child Welfare keeping children out of foster care or reunite them with their parentheses as soon as possible with the decline since 2001 we were at peak of 2001 or 2 of 23 hundred kids in foster care now down to 9 hundreds that is good were doing nice work in terms of keeping kids safe at the home with the services we provide and moving kids out to adoption or on the programs i should mention that the number of kids that are under 18 in foster care is really about 6 hundred and 50 a number years ago through Assembly Bill 12 foster care was extended to kids up to age 22 before that when the kids were 18 there were no longer in the system but now through ab that is a positive piece of legislation we can keep children in their care and support them up to age 22 that number would be lower. What were doing now in Child Welfare the biggest reform or change were grappling with as the continued care reform we call ccr that of those passed through Assembly Bill 403 it altercates to do really supervisor yee he know you know foster care that is the most significant reform in Child Welfare in the past two decades well continue it does is reduce the counties reliance on group care and move the kids at all levels of needs more immediately into family based places and away from group care i think study after study shows the outcomes for people in group care are much worse than kids with families and closer to their communities so what do you mean that monies we can increase the number of fosters homes in the city and have state funding and pursuing aggressive paths to increasing those numbers new online apps for the Foster Parents and approving them and providing them if for their license were also beginning to talk with the providers about the campaign to help the lgbt communities and the fosters parents and or aldolph parents a few other they require the family team at every point where it effects the child replacement or some other significant change in the childs life that change shall be delivered and decided with the social working or Mental Health working or sometimes the birth parent to make sure it is in the best interest the childs that is a change in the process in order to move towards not just licensing for foster being a Foster Parent getting the approve at the same time of being an adoptive parent makes that easier inform navigate and if we want to put children are families Mental Health support with the kids kids that are removed from their parents suffered trauma because they were abused or neglected and suffer a secondary trauma when their moved from their parents and trying to place the kids without accompanying Mental Health support generally will not work kids go from placement to placement were fortunate to have a partnership with Public Health and with the jointly or joint mental ascertainment to have the Mental Health plans for every child based on their needs on the county Assistance Program the cash Assistance Program for dulls with no kids under 18 where it provides Cash Services and Housing Assistance and Emergency Shelter for the low income adults with no independence the boards approved a package of reforms to the cap program and the reforms were probably encompass 70 packages at the highest level for the reforms making it easier for clinics to assess benefits and stay on them the system before the reforms required a lot of paperwork and parts in the process is on reduce application process with two invites as to the office and then as a result a lot of program by eliminating those unnecessary appointments and paperwork were hoping that clients will stay on track that allows us to provide the employment and Supportive Services to hopefully permanently end their need to rely on public assistance for support along with that we simplified internally to make that easier four our workforce to manage their caseloads. The next is the cal works, cal works is the welfare to work program for parents that are low income with kids in 1885 percent are Single Parents single moms weve gone through the state law i listed some of them here what were trying to do is better equip our staff with the system we fund in our community to treat the whole family meaning to attempt to move the family towards selfsufficiency and the calworks strategy to identify the families not engaged in work participation or early he removal activities identify them and bring them into the impediment process every family that is a comprehensive tool that is a robust statewide state standard provisional that takes several hours to identify strengths and barriers focusing on the full case participation we want everyone to say participating in the education or employment or dealing with other sponsors Domestic Violence and School Truancy for their kids or other issues and continuing the Successful Program our subsidized corner of our strategy for families who are on public assistance and then im mentioning the whole family working with the whole family and mention a couple one the Family Stabilization Program targets for families for some reason are not ready to enter the workforce we move them both the Family Stabilization Program they can focus 100 percent of their time on remediating barriers to return to work and part of that the Housing Support a state funded Housing Program for cal works we served over one hundred and 25 families giving permanent homes to families so on to medicare and calfresh which on the onset of passage of the Affordable Health care act we saw the opportunity it link Affordable Health care act with the food innovation supervisor cohen. Thank you supervisor yee has a quick question. Can you back up a little bit to the your cal works and office of Economic Workforce Development development could have asked that question decades ago the idea that was implemented and initiated was eventually well see a huge reduction of people that will be on this assistance and havent followed it for a long time more curiosity than. Sure. Has it really done that or are we flat. It has supervisor when we know you remember in 1997 our welfare task force 13 thousand 5 hundred families an cal works when we started that task force you know called a f d c were under 4000. How many. 4000. And its been a steady decline since we began the cal works there are a number of reasons certainly you cant just say because they all found jobs and selfsufficient and thats not correct weve literally placed thousands of families into jobs and you know we have fewer families in San Francisco so part of that case decline reflects the the graphic of San Francisco with fewer families one of the theres a lot of criticism in the past in the mid 70s and were fortunate in california unlike states to have a state legislation that valued the opportunities that the new program for the and then that was fill childcare support full support for employment activities and support of services that county design their own podiums in board perimeters youve heard our program was robust and if you look at the funding if the stated under calworks we receive the highest lovely of state funding per capita in the amount of capital per family because back in the late 70s we recognized we wanted a revolt program not just a work program that kicks families off aids but that allowed us to design the work plan that met their needs and moved towards selfsufficiency. You want to continue. Sure. As i was saying the passage of Affordable Health care act give us the opportunity to pled not guilty a. Cal works and medical having a single worker or Single Online popularity manage for both programs in if an individual family applies for medical and not on cal works calfresh theyre not having happy holidays we did this for a couple of reasons one Customer Service we did want adults to go to two building with the eligibility as similar and second the Administration Program we can manage a significant there in the medical you see in front of you with not having to expand the workforce in portion to the caseload we added easy i think 80 boiblth goikt for workers we doubled the workforce but 20 there is that steep caseload is one hundred due to the Affordable Health care act and the fact we enrolled our enforcement reached about one hundred thousand. I have a quick question in your presentation particularly talking about the medical caseload did evicting the repeal that failed in your presentation give a little bit of breath. About the future press pecks. Sorry to interrupt ill be happy to with medical im finish now, one in four san franciscans receive medical we pretty much have provided medical rgz almost saturated the lgbt population for medical if youre eligible for medical your probably receiving it with the department of Public Health and assess points to get on medical and really the aggressive outreach we did and i wanted to included mentioned here about goikt for medical for the immigrants communities because there is so many dialogue coming out of washington, d. C. On the immigration status so important to note that local immigrants or legal noncitizens are eligible you dont have a be a u. S. Citizen to receive the medical then undocumented citizens can receive prenatalal care even if your undocumented because of the passage the state law undocumented kids are eligible for medical it is important to get there out because of negative rhetoric coming out have been d. C. To enforce the equity of the programs for the immigrant communities so, now calfresh and similar to medical weve seen a significant increase in calfresh which we see as a positive not 100 percent freld funded but aggressive in project sponsors with medical but adding online popularity with the online applications we do onsite benefits at our Litigation Centers and communitybased organizations zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and do outreach vents it has 6 hundred applications each month and now were in partnering with a contractor that actually minds our one and thirty thousand medical caseload people not on calfresh and identified p them and reach out through a phone call or mailers to get them on calfresh. Okay. Ill move on if you can go to slide 15 i want to talk about federal funding to hsa and some of the proposals that could affect our state funding as you can see you know slide earlier in my presentation about a more a third of our budget through federal funds 97 percent of that federal funds passes in the state department of healthcare and allocated it to but community unlike the consideration guatemalas you permitted for or grants through the feds neither here nor there all of it is tied to a federal program authorized through separate piece of legislation w calfresh versus and 40 and foster care or a formula i raise that because obviously i get the question a lot from the Public Administration holds back the will money because of nature of the funding through the state and making decisions who gets the dollars and the federal entitlement i dont see us as effected this is a view that is shared by the state of california theres has to be an act of congress to restrict the funding or prohibit the funding to sanctuary cities and the other specific to california were talking about sanctuary cities and every other community in San Francisco there are multiple cities some maybe sanctuary cities and la is probably the best example motoristly how will the state of california pairs out which cities and counties get the money that is an insanely process i dont see happening so my message to staff and our Community Partners and the public our funding is skewer irrespective of Trump Administration does with respect to the sanctuary city and their used for contracting the services and in some cases not in the budgeted we have 200 and 87 million from the government we have couple hundred Million Dollars of federal money it goes to pay i h ss and another amount that go to clients through our calfresh that is off budget if you say how much federal dollars does hsa draw down in the neighborhoods of 6 to seven hundred millions so as medical i see it playing out you noted it failed which is obviously great news the worry i have is that under the guise of medicaid in this case medical the government looks at each state and says youll get a fixed amount of dollars to admin medical you can keep the expansion under the Affordable Health care act users the fixed mop up amount of federal dollars that is a affixed amount of money and circling the schools rise the state is on the hook for 100 percent of that point of privilege in the formula to decide how much funding u funding through a block grant done on per capita experiencing of medicaid how much is for each person california raised out of 47 if california out of capacity will be at a disadvantage will receive a low number. Why . Because of the reimbursement rates in california with allow low. How do we get that increased. Its a state decision. It resolves through years of you remember the years of 30 billion deficit in sacramento. Supervisor yee remembers. My apologies im aging myself one of the strategies to reduce this was to reduce the provider based on what we provide medically a physical examine than a tooth extraction and medicaid fails short of costs. It is 60 percent of every dollar 0. 60 reimbursed. It is complicated under the Affordable Health care act that is actually world combrurmd by the feds that that slowly decreases to 90 percent so in the number of years people with the Affordable Health care act the state pays 10 percent on the benefits side and the feds will pay 90 percent the state will be on the hook for a doubt if were in a block grant that goes away the feds say heres our money that is my big concern and politically sort of the both back of losing their medical the feds can say it is a state decision. It would be a state issue the governor has released a draft version of his budget how do we stand to win or lose in his budget. Thats a good segue into the next slide the governor releases his budget in january, i should say one more thing about medical in terms of flow of money in support of Medicaid Expansion and as well as covered california is 7 billion. Is that right seems like more than that. Anyway ill get the next number now to the state budget. So the gofrm governor in january proposed one huge change that will hurt but us to the tune of 7 million the change youve been deliciously is about the change from the non Supportive Services program and this is complex but the long and short end because of proposed cause shift the result in county costs if the proposal were to go through as is a 43 million to us now what it the proposal the continental i hss consists of a fixed county share of costs so it is called a maintenance every effort we pay a fixed amount of money irrespective of cold case and the Cost Increases and the state and fess pick up the rest of hair that happened the moe structure was formed in fiscal year 1112 shins then caseloads have increased the second is the minimum wage happened locally and also at the state and that administrative costs adopt the costs of employees benefits, etc. So that was in 2011, telephone fast forward to 2017, of years of costs and the governor is saying you counties no longer pay a fixed amount a share of the costs and the survey is thirty percent so you now calculate that on the total cost of the city you pay thirty percent the increase is 43 million so what are we doing about that a c fact led workshop of c a o workers with department of finance to get the deal before the revised theyre hoping that happens we had a proposal that we liked would have cost counties very little that the Governors Office didnt go for were xhavnl in the negotiation the city lobbyists are actively engaged as i and my staphylcontinue to keep you posted and with the mayors director what if scenarios and the Budget Reserve to might as much as possible to the 43 million cost shifts the other thing that alarming the recalculation of the funding for cal works based on caseload decline concurring cross the state one and 80 million cut statewide our share is 6 and a half millions based on caseload decline is sort of basing the funding on the cold case formula is difficult it assumes our programs are that fluid if our caseload drops by one thousand we can go 25 workers or case workers as you know this is not the way the county Government Works having to respond to throw budget cuts 6 and a half Million Dollars cuts is very did the thats why that is hopefully part of the state Budget Reserve and going to budget drills in cal works if this happens where were religious services and our staff and working through those scenarios now. Okay. Thats it for the drs i know the department of aging Adult Services is a separate agenda item if you have questions for the dcyf. I certainly got my questions i see no other names well go to Public Comment. Ladies and gentlemen, Public Comment is open if you want to comment on item 3 seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Thank you very much. Can i amend an earlier statement around the federal money for the medical 15 billion. Not 7. 15. Which is civil grand jury a number the state cant make up if the feds withdraw their support. Colleagues is there we can file this ill entertain a motion. Ill go ahead and make a motion to file in hearing and seconded by supervisor tang well take that without objection. Thank you very much next item, please. Item no. 4 hearing to receive a budget update from the department of aging and Adult Services for fys 20172018 and 20182019, and requesting the department of aging and Adult Services to report. This is great well hear from mcfadden. Good afternoon. Sherren making fatten executive director that the department of aging Adult Services and were providing services for are older adults and adults with disabilities making sure that people can thrive in communities as long as possible and appropriate we have 4 divisions in cossie want to highlighted some of the things were working on in the division the biggest division in inhome care Supportive Services and services 24 people this afternoons out to 2200 the clients receive 22 hours of support in the private market if people paid for if it it would be twoyear budget hundred dollars a month with low income that is impossible an Important Program that helps to keep people another home the majority of our clients are seniors 74 percent and most of seniors are chinese and many bilingual china speaking of the adults with disabilities not seniors most of them are africanamerican or white about a their about 20 percent provider and 6 it percent are caring for relatives did you want child caring for a parent we have a couple of challenges trent alluded to one proposed by the governor but in addition weve seen a challenge to inhome care Supportive Services the ability to retain workers i think that ive talked with most is of with the issue of workforce in older adults and adults with disabilities but inhome care is dire right now and one of the reasons that with the increase in minimum wage there is kind of a compression between what us hss workers with working with the difficult clients and the minimum wage everyone knows how hard it is to give inhome care especially, if not our relatives and even if you work with our relatives. It is actually youre right i personally know that so one of the things that is happening you know people can get a different kind of job and make the same pay poem bridge one of our contracts that provides what we call contract mode of inhome care Supportive Services serves 5 percent of overall i hss population we rely on it to provide the services for people that cant manage their own worker and what home bridge is saying there is a real loss of their workforce theyre having a hard time with a workforce retention and keeping people beyond 3 months losing half their workers 3 months on the job their butt in hard work and people leave on o after 3 months weve been working with the contractor and thought that would be a good do to think about pier wage in the budget weve proposed a tiered wage pilot in the pilot would serve one and 50 clients i lost my notes serve one hundred and fifty and what we will provide is extra training for the workers that will be doing this work and theyll being able to make a disclose or not disclose more per hour in the first year and the second year adding another explore and look at the metric go are we retaining workers that way and other ideas we have to think about workers retention and thinking about workforce down the line many years from anyhow and how to work with the local colleges and universities and other people that developing that workforce but wanted to do this now to see if it works. Supervisor yee has a question. A quick one in regards to the additional exploring and the second year the step back dollar is that on is this based upon wherever acquits today or groups when the minimum wage goes up. The minimum wage changes were talking about 2 above what the minimum wage is now i guess your skewing talking about looking at the first dollar and extra training and seeing if this works in the first year with worker retentions in the pilot. One of the other things we realize is that we have this pilot we need to also have a conversation with inhome care Supportive Services about workforce retention and having conversations with the state level about this this is not the only answer were in a dire situation right now with that particular contract and one of the things we see when people dont get served they end up in the emergency room or on the street if theyre not getting the Services Potentially the harder served population. Next. The second one is protective Services Department of aging Adult Services other programs and specifically said to highlight the numbers this division supports 65 hundred people of our citys most vulnerable citizens and people with disabilities and the Adult Protective Services serves 48 hundred people and focusing on Adult Protective Services on average 6 hundred and 50 people are that neglected each month a 26 percent increase from 4 years ago when the average was closer to 4 hundred and a special units for the neglect and eviction prevention so negotiation well know whether or not it is effective but think that will be obviously and then switch over to our longerterm operation with the Community Funds and Quality Assurance and rental demonstration project as well as other projects were working on i just want to highlighted the clinical Quality Assurance we implemented thank to the mayor and the board to get that into our budget weve grown that program and served 5 hundred clients annually and basically that unit is made up of indoors and social workers that are able to assist Adult Protective Services and inhome care Supportive Services staff when they notice someone is in trouble at home and maybe needs some different ascertainment deeper than what our social workers do it is help and next the Community Services that is office of angling and the community and is dos clinical resource hub our intact at sue goes. Sorry embed. Okay. I thought you have a question go to the next slide the biggest thing in the Community Services divisions is really focusing on the sdgd a Voter Initiative prop i for adults with disabilities the baseline is 44 million which includes 6 million of spending and it also the legislation also requires an comboethd compromised of 11 members and provide for Service Providers and of the Oversight Committee came together in february all the appointees came together and started to meet and working hard for awhile meeting weekly and asking for lots of information from the departments and looking at demographics and equity and ive worked together to come up with an Allocation Fund for the sdgd and i know one of the things we have to release rerelease as a department that were using our current Needs Assessment that is reels great information very well put together a lot of democrat graphic information but havent had the chance to put together in the legislation to the community Needs Assessment and some gap in equity so well be embarking on this process the negotiation and the following year well be able to do a really good allocation plan our cycle every four years like the childrens 00 plan we want to get out the 6 million rather than hold that process we want to get it out were using the data and were also thinking will parity and looking some of the populations that we think weve been not serving quite as well, one the populations that younger adults with disabilities and other population is veterans and then 0 were mindful of the fact to continue to roll out the task force the lgbt task force remedies we have a couple of proposals allocation plantar we broke down the allocation into different buckets we have basically using the same program Bucket Program descriptions in buckets we have in future years when we have a need he assessment we may be branch into the other areas but keep the current programming we have and put that funding into those specific programs we fund so just supporting with the access one actually ill start with caregiver this is highlighted in our Needs Assessment and we do put money both caregiver support but a xhoont issue for caregivers we get a lot of calls and requests for help one of the things we are asked for to help where respite, of course, as i mentioned caregivering is a hard job we put the money in the allocation plan phenomenon respite and a database that a good resource to point caregivers to that resource have them putting if their information and get ohio the next is assess and access is one of the facility issues we think about senior isolation and adults with disabilities and make sure they they have services where they can come out and have socialization one of the areas we are enhancing the Community Network that includes the Senior Centers and adults with disabilities that are kind of social social experience those kinds of things we put quite a bit of funding in the allocation for that and one of the things asking people to think how do we reach out to population were not currently serve and see our centers in different ways adding a new Program Within the hours and the Current Center and say okay. Well reach new populations maybe people that dont get around easier or have after work hours things like that to reach other sponsors people we are also looking at Transportation Transportation is a big area of need and trying to help people goat get out to the services they need were looking to add money both that were also looking at enhancing the liveable services for the adults with disabilities we have Legal Services for older adults with naturalization and immigration issues and housing and eviction we could a have parity for younger adults with disabilities we are looking to increase the services and add some Legal Services to them and also for lgbt older adults looking for help are Financial Planning and then Housing Support we do have we have embarked on a housing Subsidies Program we did in a couple of years with support from the mayor and support from add back from the board and were looking to maybe increase that a bit in the allocation plan so we can give housing subsidies inform more people and then innovation and wellness one of the things were looking serving people that are ill with our food programs so were looking at asking our providers to look at how does food help people improve their health and good models some are home delivered for homebound and people can come in and get informed but focusing on the populations prediabetic or People Living is hiv, etc. Putting negative impact money for that and some of the general areas but this is the 6 million is already in the budget for this year how do we spend it in this year and get the money out the door for the needs ascertainment and looking at gaps and issues in the city and in the future is if it. Supervisor sheehy has a few remarks. Can you speak with the long terms people with hiv and seniors are aids. One of the one thing that came to our attention with the council is focusing on ada aging theyve helped to educate the people aging with hiv and the differences for people aging with hiv from the regular population and so i think what weve started to do is incorporate that population into all of the regular programming we do Start Talking about how are we serving this population are there special programs we need to do or make sure were doing better outreach with the community weve been working closely with the chair of that work group and talking about how to serve the Community Better one of the things that the workshop is proposed through the long term coordinating council this model awhile much of it actually is more Health Related will probably fit more with the department of health there are pieces of it that are social services that fit well within the dignity Fund Allocations great opportunities to provide funding for People Living with hiv with the allocation. Well, i guess i do see healthcare as assessing primary care has been an important hub this population but that is only for people frankly within the dpws system there are private partners with casing are you integrating kaiser the pieces are not meshed people are isolated and not wellconnected and surprised in talking with people like kaiser what is the system around just in general for people for populations button specific with people are hiv. I think yes. I think one of the things that we know we serve a lot of people that hiv the work group brings to us recommendation we can certainly implement those i personally have not talked with kaiser and can find out more about that because obviously have a lot of parts of our system that dont coordinate and how to do that better so we can work with the working group to get better information around that absolutely. One important piece people dont have to go to a lot of places for service. So when i talked about earlier about our dos resource hub one the things we can do to make sure that our staff are aware the resources and in the community and not sure that is something we can work on to make sure theyre trained it in so anytime someone comes into our door we know exactly where to point people. The largest need i keep on hearing a his or her i know that the people provide housing i want to at to the section 8 voucher a senior are hiv im wondering who is responsible for making that contact and is someone should be housed is there anybody that organizing with the lgbt centers and the long term survivor to help them participate in the housing lotteries do make to to a lot of people and a lot of people in the communities are getting housing through the lottery and affordable Housing Units so any thought especially for the seniors that has to be daunting with people with disabilities trying to assess housing through the lottery system. It is daunting we work with our clients all the time whether their lgbt or people with disabilities or whatever you know whatever they brick to the table in terms of lgbt workers they worked on this and worked on you know with our providers like openhouse the lgbt center, etc. On how we best service that population and make sure they have a voice and that they have role get the help they need to get into the lottery systems it is hard work i know we have a few providers that spent hours i mean supervisor cohen knows kathy davis spent hours and hours to get into the bayview housing in the Senior Center and shes training other sponsors providers to serve other sponsors populations how to do that it is a huge, huge amount of work and it takes a lot of followup lots and lots of followup and lots and lots of hours. I guess will that happen for the Lgbt Community and people are hiv, you know, or aging or is this something that is coming down the road. People are working on it to i dont know how coordinate but openhouse the two representatives if openhouse here have worked very, very hard at laguna for the reason that lgbt people got into that site if they hadnt put that work into that the result we have been different i dont want to speak for the organizations but having talked to them they very much see that as a role of their organization. Is the budget smlg something youll be supporting that thats one way or another what im looking no, it is amazing work with the new facility but i heard coming out of that that was a high Blood Pressure clinic effort was that a oneoff or capacity built into the system to make sure they took place not just for lgbt seniors because there is a gym with people with hiv ct is for both the populations i can go into why the lgbt is important for housing for the seniors and also people with hiv the care system. So the way it is built spot housing we have Housing Advocacy a part of the offices on the aging budgeted and continue to fund that is not an increase this year but something we certainly fund and have staffing when youre talking about i think there is a greater conversation that needs to happen departmentally how that works and working in in conjunction with the Community Partners how do we make sure that the specific population you know are successful in getting housing i think that because we come at it formal different angles the Housing Department is labor day it from one angle we talk about it negligence of our budget that is where is sites in the housing xoopt. Maybe think about the departments we talked about young people who are homeless and half of them are lgbtq and we have this population of lgbt aging and also have the survivor generation so there is poise i guess i want to make sure that we have a phone call on the population and we have. If youre talking about having if in a more formal way we can talk about that but have love conversations about that. Id like to know what the need andable be able to know how many lgbt kids are out there like to quantify the need and figure out where the work should be done i just you know we hear about people that are pushed out of town if youre living in with hiv and pushed out of town this is you can lose what foe people folks actually know those days there is so many isolation but it is critical to if you leave town it is difficult to rebuild that. I agree i agree. Thank you very much were going to go to Public Comment. Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to address item no. 9 the floor is yours. I have mine written. Just talk about people with hiv 84 percent of people over the age of 40 means it will be larger i think 62 percent are over the age of 40 combining men and women and speaking to some of the things said im actually, i cochair the working group were having a meeting to aid the issues to supervisor sheehy rays well be talking about dos we are also i think were hoping youll support the suggestions the comboekt from the dignity fund we see ways to force not force encourage hiv providers and mainstream providers to Work Together the way it came together it looks like there are ways we can look at decreasing connections and collaboration i think the center is along with the Survivor Group for people over the age ever 60 were looking those collaborations im going into everything but for me it has been nice to be included in the dignity fund from the beginning a long term survivor we were not early on and working closely and received support from the staff and the Housing Working Group that will also Long Term Care coincidental that and issues i dont know im nervous ive been here three or four times my hands are shaking im going to hand over my comments.

For your presentation. Next speaker, please. Im karen the executive director of openhouse thank you, supervisors for hearing from us today and i just want to echo a couple of issues that were brought up in the decision around dos first of all, were appreciative of the work that dos does and the communitybased organizations really strong and amazing that is great to work with them and echo it is not enough for the oldest adults to be addressed to the dros 0 program and budget but need to been the budgets weve heard from for example, we know that 50 percent of people in shelters over the age of 50 we cant be thinking of older adults and sitting over in a Specialized Department we need to think about their niece together particularly true when youre looking at go lgbt seniors because he knew theyre facing not just the challenges of aging but facing a lifetime of discrimination it that creates the barrier to assessing the services that is a powerful thing so i think we have to think about that and i dont think we have to choose older people over younger the older people have the resources i dont think were choosing one over another but thinking about those things together and around cal the openhouse what as sixth effort to get 70 lgbt seniors sweet spots housing thats why green but our housing assistants is seeing and need beyond that that the funding not necessarily Going Forward were going to have to think about the Housing Options so thank you for your time and energy we appreciate it.

Is there a motion for this hearing. Ill make a motion to file the hearing. Seconded by supervisor sheehy and well take that without objection. Is madam clerk, is there any additional business to come before this body . Theres no further business. All right. Were adjourned bayview. A lot discussion how residents in San Francisco are displaced how businesses are displaced and theres not as much discussion how many nonprofits are displaced i think a general concern in the Arts Community is the testimony loss of performance spaces and venues no renderings for establishes when our lease is up you have to deal with what the market bears in terms of of rent. Nonprofits cant afford to operate here. My name is bill henry the executive director of aids passage l lp provides services for people with hispanics and aids and 9 advertising that fight for the clients in Housing Insurance and migration in the last two years we negotiated a lease that saw 0 rent more than doubled. My name is ross the executive directors of current pulls for the last 10 years at 9 and mission we were known for the projection of sfwrath with taking art and moving both a experiment art our lease expired our rent went from 5 thousand dollars to 10,000 a most. And chad of the arts project pursue. The evolution of the orientation the focus on Art Education between children and Patrol Officer artist we offer a full range of rhythms and dance and theatre music theatre about in the last few years it is more and more difficult to find space for the program that we run. Im the nonprofit manager for the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development one of the reasons why the mayor has invested in nonprofit displacement is because of the challenge and because nonprofits often commute Technical Assistance to understand the negotiate for a commercial lease. Snooechlz is rob the executive director and cofounder of at the crossroads we want to reach the disconnected young people not streets of San Francisco for young adults are kicked out of the services our building was sold no 2015 they let us know theyll not renew our lease the last years the city with the nonprofit displacement Litigation Program held over 75 nonprofits financial sanction and Technical Assistance. Fortunate the city hesitate set aside funds for businesses facing increased rent we believable to get some relief in the form of a grant that helped us to cover the increase in rent our rent had been around 40,000 a year now 87,000 taylors dollars a year we got a grant that covered 22 thousands of that but and came to the minnesota Street Project in two people that development in the better streets plan project they saved us space for a Nonprofit Organization National Anthem and turned out the Northern California fund they accepted us into the Real Estate Program to see if we could withstand the stress and after the program was in full swinging skinning they brought up the Litigation Fund and the grants were made we applied for that we received a one thousand dollars granted and that grant allowed us to move in to the space to finish the space as we needed it to furniture is for classes the building opened on schedule on march 18, 2016 and by july we were teaching classed here. Which we found out we were going to have to leave it was overwhelm didnt know anything about commercial real estate we suggested to a bunch of people to look at the nonprofits Displacement Mitigation Program you have access to commercial real estate either city owned or city leased and a city lease space become available there is a 946,000 grant that is provided through the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development and thats going to go towards boulder the space covers a little bit less than half the cost it is critical. The purpose of the Organization Trust to stabilize the arts in San Francisco working with local agency i go like the Northern California platoon fund that helped to establish documents of our long track record of stvent and working to find the right partner with the organization of our size and budget the opportunity with the purchase of property were sitting in the former disposal house theatre that expired 5 to 10 years ago we get to operate under the old lease and not receive a rent increase for the next 5 to 7 years well renting 10,000 square feet for the next 5 to seven years we pay off the balance of the purpose of this and the cost of the renovation. The loophole will that is unfortunate fortunate we have buy out a reserve our organization not reduce the services found a way to send some of the reserves to be able to continue the serves we know our clients need them we were able to get relief when was needed the most as we were fortunate to arrive that he location at the time, we did in that regard the city has been weve had tremendous support from the Mayors Office of Economic Workforce Development and apg and helped to roommate the facade of the building and complete the renovation inside of the building without the sport support. Our lease is for 5 years with a 5 year onyx by the city has an 86 year lease that made that clear as long as were doing the work weve been we should be able to stay there for decades and decades. The single most important thing we know that is that meaningful. It has been here 5 months and even better than that we could image. With the Economic Development have announced an initiative if ours is a nonprofit or know of a nonprofit looking for more resources they can go to the office of Economic Workforce Development oewd.

Any further Public Comment please step to the microphone if there is any further Public Comment. Good evening jackie for san franciscans for Police Accountability and i understand that tonights discussion will center around the budget for the sfpd and we would like to urge that tasers not be a line item in the budget weve been here repeatedly over the the last year. Next item. On item 2a through d. Thank you. Public comment . Seeing and hearing none Public Comment is closed. All right. Commission sergeant killshaw can you at all the next line item perhaps with the presentation will give further information for others to give Public Comment on this sthks we ask you give Public Comment on the 3 items as their present Public Comment on item i mean call item 3. Item no. 3 discussion and possible action to approve request of the department to submit a budget modification the board of supervisors, reallocating 6. 5 million in salaries and fringe savings to overtime. Action. And good evening director how are you. Im fine commissioner president turman and members of the commission Deputy Director and chief im katherine the cfo the Police Department good evening. Im here to answer questions you youve should have received a letter ill give a quick overall the letter the letter is available for the public on the table as well essentially were requesting a budget modification for the current year to sailor savings to pay for overtime or expenditures in seizing expose of our budget for the current year so 2016 17 that end in june the 6. 5 million really primarily the over time costs that are the amount to that 6 or 6. 5 million are training and arrest and investigations and court paid First Amendment gathering and Homeless Population Service Requests so the savings were realizing from the budget are related to mostly savings with respect to a lot of young officers in who are currently hired and freshly out of academy and not experiences theyre first pay increase were over budgeted in that way but well start to see those step increases role through i believe at the end of 18 so at this time i can take any questions you may have. Questions for director maguire but director maguire. Your telling us we have so many young officers weve budgeted for hire paid officer with a 6. 5 million surplus now that money is over time for some of the increased services to handle the First Amendment activities and some of the facility issues were zealously with with the homeless in overtime we had salary savings but need to put more officers on the street. Is that right . Further questions for commissioner. Director i was looking at but didnt see the anticipation the Public Comment is there a line item for tasers. This is in the for the 16, 17 budget the budget for 2030 that was not included in our budget. Thank you go ahead. Thank you cfo maguire ill use your title thank you all right. Public comment on this item . David san franciscans for accountability this is just a quick comment which is that you have 6 hundred and 50,000 for homeless im not sure that increases in the normal years the issue im looking at the fact there will be big budget items including data, etc. That you might want to think about putting some money into these we dont know what the costs will urban design for that stuff thats a quick comment thank you tom gilberty that is what id like the cit to be separated from the Police Departments budget and separated from the department of Health Budget because what is happening on the street for the homeless and the people that are having a crisis intervention are going to mediate a clear budget so we can recognize it is working at it price or not working and add to it i really like to see a mid way that is independent of the department of health and the Police Department for the crisis intervention because of all it will have to be meshed into this if you know what i mean. Thank you any further Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. And with that, i will entertain a motion. I move we accept the budgets proposal. Second. And the budget modification. Second modification. Moved by commissioner melara and seconded by dr. Marshall can i had a voice on that. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . Okay. That vote is unanimous thank you commission secretary. Item 4 consent calendar item 4 consent calendar the public is now welcome to address the Commission Regarding items that do not appear on tonights agenda but that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. Under Police Commission rules of order, during Public Comment, Neither Police or dpa personnel, nor commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public, but, may provide a brief response. Individual commissioners and police and dpa personnel should refrain, however, from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during Public Comment. Please limit your comments to 2 minutes. Good evening. First member of the public ms. Bar shack. So im concerned about this line item of tasers appearing on that 2018 budget we have not had tasers in San Francisco and i have a stack of post cards that is among the thousands of postcards that have been collected with signatures of people that oppose tasers in this county and this city because as we know tasers are a terror weapon that protect cuts not a sanctity of life to bullets so i know that you the commission has been very divided on this issue of tasers but we know that tasers have disproportionately been used phenomenon brown and black people that will continue that will happen in San Francisco, too, we dont want to continue military riggs the police that is what tasers will do weve seen in other jurisdictions tasers are used during Mental Health crisis and that has impacted resulted in deaths and there is no justification for tasers as it is a form of torture so i urge final consideration of tasers as the line item in the budget as being on there representation of the real costs of tasers not only the actual dollars and cents but the human cost. Thank you, ms. Bar shack would you like to submit those postcards. Ill be submitting them at a later time in their entirety just a handful i could carry today. Understood next member of the public. Michael gray panthers i cant believe that the police are again trying to arm themselves with tasers weve been through this again and again and the community is always spoken saying not to delay tasers there has been Community Meetings all over the city and in which a strong response of saying not to delay tasers and the fact that you are considering bringing them back flies in the face of what the Community Wants and the Community Needs it is just outrageous we know we are not tricked by the idea that it will reduce officers officerinvolved shootings. Data shown that officerinvolved shootings and death actually increased where tasers have been brought in 80 percent of tasers used across the country have been against unarmed suspects and so what that means is that the police having tasers is just another weapon to terrorize people well not put up with that the argument disproportionately against blacks and latinos and the mills. Next member of the public please. David again san franciscans for Police Accountability to working off the last budget request i think came here in february a line item for less than legal items up to 300,000 were trying to get a grip on whether that is a real reflection felt actual costs of tasers the newspapers put the costs between 13 hundred in toronto in 2015 and excuseme. In toronto 1,350 in the arizona and los angeles 8 hundred and 22 each we take the 32 thousand in the last budget request it is a crude math i apologize for not having more information and subtract half for definish line and have money left 0 over that looks like you guys are expecting to get 21 had had tasers for 75 bucks each what is the real cost of tasers you know if it is in the more alignment with the newspaper reports were looking at 3 and a half to 5 million and thats a big budget item were not sure why this less than lethal line item of three hundred and 50 thousand was had in the last budget like to get to the bottom of that and the cfo to have the Police Department to give you guys actual numbers and Going Forward data with cit and a lot of training issues, etc. We want to talk about the real numbers are and not have on the job fuzzy boxes in those various budgets thank you very much. Good evening excuse my appearance i have medical issues for the most part there is stuff going on about the problems of sfpd this is repull the rug out from under thats chief scotts decision mingling with the deputy chiefs to include a Police Commissioners not here right now pardon me okay. Thats his decision not the board and the Police Commission decisions lets move forward and this other stuff this poa wait a minute how many females on the board of directors none all white males well keep our mouths shut next issue the tasers the taser in the last since 2000 we had 40 officerinvolved shootings 40 how many of those have we had tasers since 2000 would not resulted in death i dare to guess what did chief bratton and other sponsors say about the tasers yes theyll be abused, of course, africanamerican latinos yes sure theyll be abused with a tasers than a 40 millimeter ill survive that lets get the tasers yes train the officers if their abusing them thats up to chief scott you have a good evening. Any further Public Comment . Disclosing san franciscans for Police Accountability i think by tasers their how far pun protect concussion if they hit someone with a precondition without or perhaps hit them in the wrong part of body i certainly would not want that to have the attack with that kind of a device on the seat of my pants ive been interested in the studies i saw it on tv just as i was leaving my office i printed off information off the internet as im going to leave those for you the interesting thing by any nephew it is 5 years he was executed the cop that.
