Your confidence collapses. I would almost argue that every person who experiences homelessness in the city, especially the way the city is right now, is partially suicidal. I thought about it when i was homeless before i got in the shelter i thought about suicide at least once or twice each week. That changed when i finally got into a shelter. What it means to basically have a safe place. I went from being with the coalition it is having a safe consumption site. I live in the tenderloin. I dont want to see people having to be on the streets with dirty hands injecting something into their body to kill them with bacteria. I went to see a place where people can go to do their drugs and this is coming from Harm Reduction model completely. I worked at the foundation and we had needles in the 80s and 90s, it was against the law but we did it anyway. I want the city to stand up and take care of the citizens. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. I am the Community Organizer with Commu

Have to be really confident and sure about what we are doing, and we are. Theyre still people in forces out there who are perpetuating myths about Domestic Violence and to need our help to become more aware. They still think Domestic Violence isnt actually that big of a deal, that it is a contained issue, that it is special interest or it is private or it is personal, it is about anger or it is about alcoholism, and that theres nothing we can do because its about individual people and individual people are who they are. Some people are just inherently more violent and others are inherently more submissive. We are here every single month, and especially in october to take those myths and grind them to a pulp and flush them. We know they are not true. We are here 30 years later using this platform to say Domestic Violence, it is personal, it is private, and it is social. Is political. We are showing that this is an issue that we pay a tremendous price, an unacceptable price for allowing

Bit of confusion about how to deliver this content, but i think our conversation, when we were developing the work plan with you for the current fiscal year, was that each bond program would appear before you twice in a year. Once you would have a formal report from the bond Program Managers of the type that was just given on the Public Health bond. In the opposite six month point and the calendar, you would have a liason report, like mr. Lurkin gave, and the advantage would be the forcing function of having the liason have an opportunity to anticipate that item, set up a meeting with bond Program Managers, ask any questions they had, so that the content could be focused on things that are of most of interest to goback. And there was a concern you would get detailed reports and pretty pictures, but not much of a chance to focus on issues that are of concern for you. The liason focus was a test. I should have also reminded the m. T. A. Program manager that having that Program Manager ap
