Leading the way to make sure that we anchor the new market tax credit that we needed for the project is the city of San Francisco and the San Francisco Community Investment fund, or as we call it sfif.

The group that put us over the top is an Organization Called Community Impact partners which is more of a National Partner and they came in to push us forward as well.

Generated today about rule 20, to make two essential points. Number one, that obviously what is going on here by the way, rule 20 funds are generated by a charge to our utility bills, so everybody. So essentially whats been going on here for the last 12, 14 years is we, those who dont have undergrounding, have been paying for paying out of our utility bills for those people who have undergrounding. This drove our coalition to not try to find certain sections of the city that would get undergrounded, but the only equitable thing to be done is to have citywide undergrounding which is the master plan.

I think thats really important and especially i would love to see that kind of force out there to be ahead of the police contacting people on the streets. But, we also need a way to help people who are in severe crisis but wont accept help. We cannot
