When you sadly were out on the streets and using drugs, and the stigma attached to that when youre trying to get clean and stay sober, and work, and turn your life around, the goodwill welcomes you with open arms. When you have a criminal past, and you want a Second Chance, and you dont want people to keep judging you because you made a mistake in the past, the goodwill welcomes you with open arms time and time again. So i just wanted to be here to express my true appreciation for the work that you have done and what you will continue to do and thats why we have to be a Good Community partner with you. The city has to be willing to make things easier for you to do the incredible work that you do to change and save lives. We know the challenges that exist around homelessness in the city and people struggling with Mental Illness and addiction and we are working on a number of Innovative Solutions to try and address what is a real crisis on our streets. But the good news is, the good news
Welcome to the stage, father microcode father michael quinn. [applause] good afternoon distinguished guests, chief nicholson, chief scott, and all the wonderful people of San Francisco and the people from surrounding areas who are here on this wonderful day to ask gods blessing and to really recognize that we have indeed received gods blessing however, we name our god since a terrible day that we remember as the earthquake. On october 17th, 1989. For those of us who were around at that time, remember there was a moment when we didnt know what to do. The bridges were closed. It seems like we were really stuck. What happened is gods spirit within us took over and what happened is communities came together. The communities came together to not only address the immediate issues, but the more farreaching issues. Example, the San Francisco Interfaith Council was founded as a consequence. Can you imagine that week all of our faith decided we should Work Together as a community of San Francisc
Them here now 20 years later speaking and talking about how successful those programs have been not only to them as pro firproprietorship and owners ane want to see to continue to improve and expand. I believe this project gives us an opportunity as a community to move forward and to see some stability around that. And then, also, i wanted to say thank you again to oscar james, Linda Richardson and miss scott. And just knowing that we have a legacy of generations in San Francisco and we do still have that historic tie and knowledge still here present and seeing this project go forward with people being able to see that which has been kind of one of the biggest issues with the whole redevelopment agency, as well as cop program. The only comment i have is that i know currently Small Businesses were not included in the october 7, 2008 meeting and i was mainly done for residential, be bu but if thereg in to do moving forward to possibly add in something around cop businesses as the project
