Good afternoon, im lawrence kornfield. Welcome to our brown bag lunch. The Fire Department as a lot to do with fire escapes in San Francisco. We have tens of thousands of fire escapes in San Francisco. Its sort of like utility wires, until you start looking for them. You dont even see them. Today were going to look at them and for them and talk a little bit about what they are there for and how they should be maintained. What our standards are. So we are right here in front of Building Services office at 1660 mission street. We have one of many buildings served by fire escapes. They are typically used when theres a required means of existing or egressfrom the building. This building has a main stairway and all these fire escapes. I dont know about the backside. It probably has more exits that would be typically required to have. Typically fire escapes are the second. The first is for existing buildings. My guess is the building has been broken up. Thats why they add more than one fire

The recommendations and talk about where we are. Barbaras tent and trents testimony will elaborate on that, but i think it gives us a framework. So, obviously the largest recommendation was around 3,000 units of permanent Supportive Housing. As weve looked at the pipeline and whats been developed by the end of this fiscal year will be at about 2800. So, well be very close to achieving that goal with about 200 units remaining. We have been very successful in building the portfolio to the direct access to housing programs and New Buildings that have been brought online on the losp program that hsa has been involved with. So, i think in large, we have achieved that goal. I think Going Forward, there are relatively small number of units pending in the pipeline.
