The 3,000 tenants that we serve, we need to make sure those units are efficient and quality Affordable Housing. And so we are embarking on that project but also we are an Affordable Housing developer. So at the moment we are working on our proposal for 1950 mission street, a new 100 percent Affordable Housing development that is near the 16th street bart station. Were also researching sites down near 24th street in the Lower Mission to purchase and develop what are relatively smaller sites but nonetheless are just as important in these days of gentrification and displacement in the mission. And so what i see as Mission Housings role is that we will utilize our portfolio, our vast and very large, relatively speaking, portfolio to create and obtain the necessary funds and capacity which we will put towards new development because its about boat, its about making sure we have enough Affordable Housing and creating new, but also ensuring that that which we have is never ever lost. Can you
Well poised to support your position given the documents, but we cant legally move you forward without those documents and thats just not available for us to actually act on today. So when we say continue it, we would probably make a decision at the next rules committee meeting, which would be two weeks from today. Okay. Again, ive done too many years in the city to not to come before a board and feel as though i understand the requirements, i thought the requirement was going to be here, the letter, but it seems like a skate ball in that arena and i dont want to play that. I want to represent the city, i want to serve the city, but i dont want to be anybodys kickball and i respect all of you, you know, for considering to delay this matter but, you know, i dont know if thats something i want to do. Well, i apologize for this inconvenience. Any person who would be in the same position you are in without all the letters would be in the same position to have this seat continued to the nex
Around 7,000 latino families being displaced. Where does Mission Housing fit in with that. One, our portfolio, making sure our units are open and affordable for those who qualify. Second is looking for the small sites i mentioned. Its very rfp and funds to develop a new large Housing Project at 1950 mission. However, as we look at the current situation, that isnt enough and mission is trying to put its capacity and its resources towards establishing new ways to develop Affordable Housing, perhaps grouping together a few small sites and creating the economy of scale thats necessary to develop the housing. Were also talking with our community, those 3,000 tenants, as much as possible to get their viewpoint to see what they are focused on and what they are worried about because we are a trustee for those units and we are a trustee for those people and i would like there to be 6,000 tenants as soon as possible. 3,000 is great and its been an awesome 4 1 2 decades, but were focused on the n

The officers have been here since last night when he was shot and killed. You can see there are road closings in place with a few lanes open but officers are checking i. D. And allowing only people would would live in the area to come become this way. The people were evacuated last note. Many spend the night in the gas station parking lot. They had nowhere else to go and we spoke with a few are them and they talk abut the chaos being told to leave and trying to wait it out to see when it was safe to go home. Officers are committeeing i. D. And only letting residents come through.
