It also makes it really complicated because you have in any one grant year, 50, 60 different organizations receiving grants but thats the way we do it and i think that kind of patch quilt is a good thing in San Francisco and that covers a whole lot of work in housing for example, there is tenant counseling, theres first time Home Ownership, its done a lot to support the housing programs, the hope sf x the envisioning program, we have Small Business assistance, we have child care services, so its supporting a lot of different organize sashes doing different work and i hear some of the previous speakers, its hard to know whats doing what but i would argue it gets there better when you do it through this model of a dissevered decentralized funding rather than when you put it into centralized agencies. My second point is on the role of the citizens committee, i think a lot of us would see us as more a policy body, were setting Economic Development policy for this city. Its not really a pod
Qualification. I dont know if many of you know how hard it is to become a coral fellow, what you have to go through. There are graduate School Transcripts that are necessary, there are writing of essays and letters of recommendation. My point is that he has passed all these with flying colors, he didnt raise a lot of that when he spoke for himself, however, the qualifications are tremendous and the alumni of the coral fellowship goes back to senator fine stein and other people who have been through that program, so hes already working on that and another reason that bewant him on the commission is that hes already serving this commission, hes been on our agenda for the past two month and is hes already present today the commission as a guest on a couple of different subject and is we expect him to present again on a program that wraps up for the coral fellowship involving a recap of all of the programs that are available. Thank you very much. Thank you for serving as well. Any other me
Turned down. Theyre socially and economically disadvantaged organizations and i would like the see more work witching the nonprofit environment as opposed to working with the Small Business community, theres some private and Nonprofit Organizations, they collect this money under the mckinney veto act and provide transitional housing but theyre only obligated to provide it for 12 years and then they can go private and turn it into a condominium so theyre telling their president s to get on the Public Housing waiting list because they want to convert. Then you have some thats just trying to say they want to get out of the contract before 12 years so they say all the residents are not paying rent so they can get out of the contract before 12 years and its not helping with the homeless crisis. I know a lot of people, ive even been in a shelt e my sons father chasers vase me, i was a property manager, he harassed me simply because he wanted his girlfriend wanted my position as manager or so
