Initiative which is to try to get as many of the estimated 100,000 legal permanent residents in San Francisco on naturalized and thus far this collaboration of Community Based organizations has reached over 5,000 san franciscans who are eligible. They processed 15 new applications for citizenship and the doca grantees have reached almost all of the 5,000 estimated doca eligible youth and processed 600 applications and i have to commend the Unified School District because without christina and the School Districts partnership we wouldnt be able to get any of this done as well as lonnie. We also have 14 doca dream sf doca fellows on board this year and for them funding it and theyre doing outreach and education to their own constituency so we place them in the cbos to help with the outreach and of course were around partnering with the immigrant partnering groups and on sanctuary city and immigrant rights.

By one of the Senate Offices to provide information on immigrants and the refugee population in San Francisco and i thought it was an odd question coming from them because i assume d they had all the information but they didnt, so you probably know most of the information. Over 25 of the country immigrants live in california and over one out of every three San Francisco residents is immigrant. There are estimated 30,000 or more undowsmed immigrants in San Francisco and while only one in 14 children in San Francisco is an immigrant 54 have at least one immigrant parent and 34 are headed by an immigrant. Since the refugee act of 1980 we have received hundreds of refugees by San Francisco. 80 of the participants in the human agency cash assistance program, rca, are asylees and families are aided by calworks.

Are you looking at ms. Wong to come up as well. I am curious im not sure [inaudible] i think it would be good to have the same youth Teacher Mental Health counselor, houser able to talk to one another and share information, so its going to really take a village to make sure these youth are successful and ifer were not sharing information and is a lowed in identities then i am worried were not going to get there. So i share your children and i have been digging around that question too, so i have been working with the federal government to try to get them to actually give us the names of these kids and the locations of where theyre being placed because the one unique thing about the surge is theyre coming through you know theyre turning themselves over at the border or the majority at l
