Next speaker. Yes. Thank you. Hello supervisors. Im with senior and disability action. I just want to say, i agree that setasides are not a perfect policy mechanism but the reality is we work within the flawed system we have. One of the only tools for poor and marginalized communities right now is setasides to get resources for the services that have been historically underfunded. The dignity fund helps fund among other things for seniors to stay in homes and not be evicted and not displaced and end up far away from San Francisco and the communities we know. Were doing a Needs Assessment for the dignity fund right now. It takes time to figure out how to spend the money in a way thats responsible and best for our communities. The claw back provision would hurt seniors and people with disabilities. We certainly all agree we need a better budget process, one that involves and really hears Community Members, and meets peoples needs and this is not that. Please oppose this legislation. Than
