Portfolio. We want to thank the Controllers Office for their help in aggregating some of this data to help us visualize the status of our portfolio. So first, i wanted to take a 30,000foot view of what the city owns and leases. So our portfolio citywide contains approximately 44 million square feet of buildings and land, thats not including rec park holdings. That is within the city limits, so it does not extra territorial land which is significant outside the city and county of San Francisco. Of that, we lease from private properties only 4 . Of our portfolio. This has been an issue that is concern of the board of supervisors as we brought leases forward as to what is the constitution of our portfolio. This really tells the big story. Were at 4 . We had a discussion with many of our peer organizations across the country. We found an average range when you look at aggregate portfolio, there is a lot of land in the portfolios nationwide, they range from 14 . New york city, austin, texas
We dont have really great data on exactly what were doing at 16th street b. A. R. T. , but i can provide you with some information as youll here. District nine as 271 of the sheltered Homeless Population and 281 of the unsheltered Homeless Population. In january 2017 when we did the point and time count. You also will see that relative to the Homeless Population in the city, district nine has 6. 6 of the unsheltered but 17 of the calls. Part of this is due to the residential nature and the high population density in the Mission District. Theres a lot of people there. And a lot of new residences and businesses. But we are receiving a fair number of complaints and concerns from citizens around this issue relative to the size of the Homeless Population. This next slide will show you the Homeless Outreach team. That star is the 16th street b. A. R. T. Station and you will see that it is in red meaning that it is one of the areas where the hot team has about 6,000 serves 6,000 people a year
Going to simply just really water down the work of those two staff members. We need to have a minimum of two people funded fulltime for this to be successful. It costs approximately a quarter of a Million Dollars to be able to provide that service. But i think it has been successful and worth looking at. Also just as a suggestion, maybe a little bit outside of my lane, is i know in l. A. , usc for example, they have funded they are ambassadors. I think they wear yellow shirts. And many are from homeless or formerly homeless or from the community. I think if we want to edge gauge people who are perhaps involved in behavior thats not really conducive for the neighborhood they are in or appropriate outdoors, i think having Community Ambassadors to talk to, to work with, to point folks in the right direction and encourage them is Something Else we should be considering in the city. My focus really is how do i help as many unhoused people get off the streets and into shelter. However, i cer

Snapshot today and how were moving this portfolio in the future. How do we move that needle from 19 leased today, to an even lower percentage, which is our goal. First thing i want to mention, we took a look at peer city organizations, those who could slice the data to this level. Most could not produce this kind of data in this presentation. Most just dont have the information, but for those that do, two really good examples as a method of comparison, the city of san diego. Their Downtown Core Office Holdings are 64 owned and 36 leased. Again were at 19 today. The state of california sacramento area, office portfolio, which is huge, at 16 million square feet is actually split 5050 owned and leased. Again, i think we look very favorable to those two organizations. Claudia, my assistant director who played a great role in putting this presentation together, take calls monthly from other organizations across the country asking us how we do what we do. Thats an indicator were the best pra
