Electricity generation already and we hope to build on the progress that is currently going on and frankly has been going on for years at the state and local level. States are already participating in their own market based programs to cut pollution. From carbon. I should make sure that everybody says when i mean carbon, it means more than 35 states have clean energy targets. More than 25 have already set Energy Efficiency goals and have cut their energy waste and over 1000 mayors across the country have signed agreements to cut Carbon Pollution. Clearly, states and local communities are doing their jobs as incubators of innovation leading the way to cleaner, more affordable, more sustainable energy. Fighting Climate Change makes Good Business sense. Thats worth repeating. Climate change just makes Good Business sense. As the president has pointed out, more than 500 businesses, including gm and nike, called this and i quote, one of the greatest opportunities of the 21st century. So we
Were closing their doors five years ago, plants like this were closing their doors. Manufacturing,f the Auto Industry was flatlining. Its own standing on feet and made smart decisions, andalan will tell you if gm chrysler had gone down, suppliers would go down, dealers would have gone down. All of that wouldve had a propellant had a profound impact on ford. I refuse to let that happen. We work with labor and management. Everybody put some skin in the game. We bet on the american worker. Today that that has paid off because the american Auto Industry has come roaring back. [applause] the big three are all profitable hiring new workers, not just building more cars. You are building better cars and trucks. Look at what is going on at the plant. F1 50 is built tougher and more fuel efficient than ever. [applause] you have trouble making them fast enough. You had to bring on a third shift of 900 workers to keep up with demand. [applause] invested 1. 1 billion in this plant, pretty new worke
Finally i will go over this in a few slides, but this is the first time a lot of flexibility was given to the congestion management agencies. Previously we had gotten fundss in silos for different programs. This round where we have a lot of flexibility as to what type of projects we can program. This is the map of San Franciscos Priority Development areas, also on page 59. I wont go into it in too much detail unless you have questions. The framework in 38 million, 3. 5 million is planning activities of funds every cycle, congestion management. Generally over sight of fubd funded projects, county transportation and regional transportation and lots of thesering activities. Next portion we see here, 24. 6 million, that minimum we have to spend in the Priority Development areas. We created the next line down. This school is an eligible project.

Iris [speaker not understood] lewis, tenant, tenant in the mission for 38 years. Very quickly, i read that in 2013 40 more working families are leaving San Francisco than coming into San Francisco, something we definitely want to turn around. And as a nurse, im very concerned about the Health Effects of all these evictions. Ive seen peoples Blood Pressure really go up, Blood Pressure crises, the stress, not sleeping, not eating well has really taken its toll on these people and families being evicted.

Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi, my name is Linda Galbreath and im a housing attorney at legal aid. We he provide Free Legal Services for lowincome ten
Crucial part of the package when it comes to eviction prevention. The other thing i wanted to say was the importance or emphasize the importance for specialized expertise in federal housing law and attorneys that really understand those programs with Public Housing and section 8 as you heard, legal aid is one such example of an organization. There are many things that come prior to an eviction that people could use Legal Support for and it would make the absolute difference between them being displaced or staying in their homes. An example is with the section 8 program there are administrative hearings. With Public Housing there are grievance procedures. Those things require tenants to have good representation when they get in the room with the staff of the agency or with the landlords attorneys. And right now theyre going in there without that Legal Support. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi, jennifer friedenbach, coalition on homelessness. Thank you so much for having this heari
