Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. My name is teresa lee, i have been an employee for the Housing Authority for over 20 years. Though i stand here united with my union members, i speak to you as a union member but also a member that is a product of Public Housing. My siblings and i was raised by our parents that were responsible for the First Successful Public Housing rent strikes in San Francisco at chinatown housing development, i share this bit of my Family History to illustrate my commitment to the residents of Public Housing. And the concerns i have for the future, should the rad program with its Public Private approach not succeed for the residents. At this point we still know lett letter know little about the rad program. And to the employees of the Housing Authority its presented as the only way to keep the agency solvent. What is not presented to any of us, is just how all of this will really work. From the beginning the participation in the rad Program Strategic working grou
What you dont know, the Developers Get the land for free. Because the government is going to give them the money to do the work for the city, and they aint out of a dime. And they dont have no black contractors on the job, and only say they have to have that Tabernacle Group work for them. This is no way 40 of the all evictions in the Housing Authority are black people. You know. So this yall need to do something about this. Because this aint going to work the way its working. All they are doing is figuring a way to put black people out of these housing units, thats all it is. Thank you. Ace, you were called second. Come on, mr. Brown. Mike brown, i concur with what charlie just said. And if you offer anybody destitute another money for relocation, they are gone. You take section 8 voucher and out of the city. We are calling you on city leaders to ensure that africanamerican Economic Development that we are doing in excelior and hopefully you can include some africanamerican equity in
Eviction protections. Will have the same affordable rents. Will maintain the same grievance procedures, and maintain the right to file complaints with Housing Authority and hud. There was some mention about the wait list. This remains a centralized wait list with some modification. Residents on the wait list with identify specific sites they wish to be preferenced for, but its a sprlized centralized wait list. Just to point out the same protections and the same standards, is that going to be codified . It would absolutely be codified at some point, whether in the Land Agreement or loan agreement, it would be codified. Are we able to apply a citywide standard as well . Our goal is to do the best practice. Whatever they are. We will work with the tenant adsoicaa advocat advocates, with the tenants themselves. This is an opportunity to change things, to blur the lines between affordable housing. And take the opportunity to figure out what works best. And we talked about transfers from one
We have spent a little time talking with the questions of transfers. And i think the questions of transfers is really a fu fundamental goal of getting residents in the right place. Whether its seniors who need more intensive housing. So they need to go from Public Housing to Senior Housing with ground floor adult bay. So they can stay independent. If its a disabled person in Public Housing who needs more assistance in terms of a Supportive Housing environment. How do we get them into the right housing. Or the other way. A person who is in our Supportive Housing and who has been stabilized. Can we use sort this opportunity to find an exit for them. We dont know. We dont have the answers, but we are asking the questions and thinking about this. Not in just terms of transfers you talked about. But can we do this in the rules and regulations of fair housing. And can we get people on the right housing so their needs are met. And thats ideally a goal of this process. The other part of this i
Concerned about our residents as far as the services they will receive. We are with them every day, and so we are very concerned about that. I think thats it. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, my name is sabrina cheeks, i work at the housing Voucher Program. I have worked there 20 years. I am here about the rad program, and i understand that its important to implement to improve the Housing Conditions for the tenants. But we know that our jobs will be eliminated. And we are rushed into negotiations and after four months i still dont know what will happen. Even though we had a meeting with management, they speak about the housing Voucher Program. And i work for them and that program is not well, and thats not said wooch. We have a program that is not working properly and mismanaged. If we continue this way, the employees from the Public Housing to the Voucher Program is not going to work. Because we are not going to have a Voucher Program. I ask you to have someone with authority
