Thank you very much, supervisor, i echo all of those comments and i especially want to thank my co so, good morning, everyone. My name is mark farrell. Im the supervisor from district 2 here in San Francisco. Last year, thanks to the great leadership of our mayor ed lee, his office of housing in particular, olson lee and brian chu who are here with us today and my colleagues on the board of supervisors, together and with the voters of San Francisco, we passed proposition c, the Housing Trust fund initiative, to create and approve Affordable Housing citywide and to provide loans to assist with the down payment towards the purchase of homes here in San Francisco. The passage of the Housing Trust fund was and is a huge win for all of San Francisco and our residents as one step in the right direction towards continuing to solve our citys ongoing housing needs. We are here today to announce the launch of a renewed dow
Fact, this year the city of San Francisco will help with over 100 million of resources to our San Francisco school district. Were not going to let them be isolated anyone. This is the future markets and Public Education is at the heart of it. We will help them succeed. Were also making sure that this very expensive city is more affordable to more people. I know theres a lot of concern about that and we need to work on it. [applause] thats why i push hard on the Housing Trust fund that was passed last year creating one and half billion dollars, not million, one and half billion dollars to build more Affordable Housing in the next 30 years in San Francisco.

Thats what exactly what we need. Many of us want to live in the city and provide our services to the city, but [background noise] we have been forced to live somewhere else. I feel like i take the paycheck from San Francisco and spend somewhere else. And, again, i want this program. I want to take advantage of this program. And i want to live in San Francisco. Again, i want to thank mayor lee, supervisor mark farrell, sheriffs department, our sheriff ross mirkarimi, the union, the [speaker not understood] association, Managers Association msa, for everything, they come up with a plan to help first responders. And i believe that its a god send gift program for us because we want to live in the city because we want to serve the city. This is where we belong. And again, as i said, i made my decision when former sheriff Mike Hennessy swore me as a peace officer. I decided this is where i belong. And, again, i want to thank [speaker not understood] San Francisco and everybody for being here
