Thats why when i first started as a commissioner on the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and we set out on our path to try and rebuild double rock and other places, it was important to me that we did it differently than we did in the past, so that residents played a Critical Role in not only deciding what fixtures and windows and how they wanted their community to be, but they remained a part of their communities.

But today a promise is kept. 439 units of Affordable Housing for people, for families, for this amazing community. Through th
Whistleblower complaints alleging fraud, waste, and abuse. Then the Whistleblower Program developed a Risk Assessment policy that was designed to triage the complaints and sort them out into low, medium, or high risk complaints. For example, the medium risk cases involved potential losses of 10,000 to 50,000 or they implicate a mid level manager.

I want to welcome those coming in over the webcast, and, of course, we always welcome the media. This morning, youll be hearing from a distinguished group of leaders and volunteers on the matter of National Service. Let me make a few brief comments to begin with. In such divided and turbulent times, we must look for ways to bridge society. To bridge the divides and to restore a sense of community. In recent years, much has been done, sadly, to burn rather than to build the bridges in our civic nation. Leading to a growing culture of fear and distrust, incivility and a reflex to retreat into the safety of tribalism. Our trust in institutions and our trust in each other has taken a beating and has, in fact, declined, and that decline makes it harder for us to solve some of the key problems we face as a count
