The recommendations and talk about where we are. Barbaras tent and trents testimony will elaborate on that, but i think it gives us a framework. So, obviously the largest recommendation was around 3,000 units of permanent Supportive Housing. As weve looked at the pipeline and whats been developed by the end of this fiscal year will be at about 2800. So, well be very close to achieving that goal with about 200 units remaining. We have been very successful in building the portfolio to the direct access to housing programs and New Buildings that have been brought online on the losp program that hsa has been involved with. So, i think in large, we have achieved that goal. I think Going Forward, there are relatively small number of units pending in the pipeline. I think out of about 9,000, more than 9,000 units within the Mayors Office of housing, there are less than 500 that are dedicated towards the Homeless Population. And it is very complex to deal with the issues of affordability in Sa
So, madam clerk, if well start the first one, if you could call item number 1. Item number 1 is the hearing to discuss and evaluate San Franciscos 10year plan to abolish chronic homelessness, which is due to sunset at the end of 2014. Thank you. So, colleagues, our first item today is a hearing i called for a few months ago to discuss our citys tenyear plan to abolish chronic homelessness here in San Francisco, a plan which is set to sunset this year in june. Leading up to todays hearing my staff and i spent significant amounts of time meeting with city, nonprofit and Community Leaders as well as outside organizations who tackle homelessness issues in other jurisdictions to find out whats been moving the needle on homelessness and what is not. We have accomplished a lot in the last 10 years, but despite our successes, the facts are that our Homeless Population count in San Francisco has remained flat for the last 10 years and i do believe the new ideas and policies beyond and including
Audience, we have about four regular agenda items as well as two hearings taking place. So, madam clerk, if well start the first one, if you could call item number 1.

Come see me. But i think for a hie they look at homesness and say, people need homes. Its really very simple. At one stage of my life i thought that was naive. I think when you get down to the policy level, thats what people need, they need homes because were spending a lot of money no one comes up here, we shouldnt spend x amount of dollars on police services, x amount of dollars for the Sheriffs Department to move peoples things out of their homes, x amount of dollars for street cleaning. No one ever comes and says we shouldnt spend that money, but people say this jurisdiction is a magnet for people who need services. Im grateful the people who did the Homeless Count here because we can let some air out of this big room. Lets look at alameda county, santa clara county, san mateo county. Yes, some of them will have more success than us, but if you look at the base being parameters of the numbers, the truth of the matter is, yes, people oftentimes come to urban areas for opportunity. S
