Accommodation within the third meeting. We might be able to look at a solution. It would seem to me at least that it would be very appropriate that the commission hear an overall broad plan as to the types of services felt to be needed in the city and how we cant reach all of them. Clearly the original intent of the building has sort of been changed by urgent needs otherwise in which we were supposed to be bringing back those who were housed outside on a chronic basis to San Francisco. The needs of the city that has been expressed hearsay if those people at the moment are there still, wherever they are, we cant bring them back because we cant solve our more immediate problems right now. That is the reason for the changes, i believe, at the Behavioral Health center to try to meet the immediate contingencies not forgetting that we have people outside. I think as an overall comprehensive look at the whole situation, we might want to see what happened to those people, too, and if anything
Relatively quickly. People with common names had been often will often take longer. You are saying the third floor is filled based upon your staffing right now and that the additional beds could not really be used until about two months from now when you have done all of the clearances . Yes, hopefully sooner than that. The Behavioral Health clinicians were made offers awhile ago. We hope background clearance comes soon. Sticking with the merf it sounds like the problem is staffing. Did we not at general improve the hiring process to move it along faster. Does that not apply for this . Is this a different process going on . We followed the process hr has for us. Nurses is one of the challenging positions to fillanticly psychiatric nurses. For the Behavioral Health we went through the process quick quickly. Getting to your question, the Human Resource department at San Francisco general also does the hiring for the Behavioral Health center. It is the same staff and tame lines applied to
Many because we do think the 55 is where we need to be with the arf. We already have challenges with regard to managing 32 as regard to the citations. This is not about any one person or a judgment, it is just the fact the state has given us a number of citations. The plan was rather than leaving the excess capacity we would turn that into hummingbird. I understand there is disagreement about that. That was the plan. We are holding the idea of hummingbirds and fix to go to 55 for the arf. Again, to be really clear from what was that, that is what we put on hold at this point. As we are able to work that out and where those other beds go, i think that your note to us was quite explicit, to the public that we received and i am hoping people would understand that the department is trying to come up with what should be the areas that we are able to have to serve the public that will meet nose needs. It sounds that the department is not saying we dont need an arf capacity. The question is h
Which are the urgent needs of people in crisis. Thats correct. That is a pretty fair summary. Commissioner green. I want to echo that. I am impressed by your honesty. He appreciate you educated us and your passion means a great deal and your wisdom means more. I guess the question is a request that i might have. I am confused how if we are embarking on this truly aspirational effort to identify the 4,000 homeless in San Francisco and concentration of 250 how when we find and identify them we can give them the best conveyor car best ce and service. We need to place them where they need to be placed. It seems that will not be successful that we havent analyzed the need. [please stand by] the first thing that i would say is that ive been mightily impressed how this department operates in crisis. I think that its been mentioned before how so many leading accomplishments across this country has been done by this department. And i witnessed how incredible this system has turned on a dime to
