Its really important to the city of San Francisco that the federal government gets the count right, so weve created count sf to motivate all sf count to motivate all citizens to participate in the census. For the immigrant community, a lot of people arent sure whether they should take part, whether this is something for u. S. Citizens or whether its something for anybody whos in the yunited states, and it is something for everybody. Census counts the entire population. Weve given out 2 million to over 30 communitybased organizations to help people do the census in the communities where they live and work. Weve also partnered with the Public Libraries here in the city and also the Public Schools to make sure there are informational materials to make sure the folks do the census at those sites, as well, and weve initiated a campaign to motivate the citizens and make sure they participate in census 2020. Because of the language issues that many Chinese Community and families experience, t
Review this count and ensure that its not stale. So eventually through the process of usdoj recommendations implementation, we may have discovered actually we have to change a policy to do this one thing, even though the recommendation doesnt necessarily call out that theres specifically a policy change that needs to happen. But there may actually be a resulting change that needs to happen from the work of starting the implementation of a particular recommendation. So we are going to take this back and do a more thorough dig on those kinds of items and make sure that we have a very clear picture of which recommendations are impacted by policy. Thank you. Vice president taylor. Thank you. This last page is good and theres more questions than you anticipated. Yes. When you come back and do that deeper dive can you report on not only what the correct numbers are but of the correct numbers where are we in terms of our implementation of changes . Yes okay. Yes, chief . I would just like to
We work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. What i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. They ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. Checking in, you guys. Wellness check. We walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. You never know. Somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. You never know if they are alive. We let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they dont want to call the police on, they dont have to call the police. They can call us. We can direct them to the services they might need. We do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. There are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. It is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. When we se
That the ombudsmen there are talking to each other more and trying to bring together what we are experiencing the problems with communication, especially the reticence of residents to speak out when they have a concern or a complaint because theyre very dependant, of course, on the medical staff there. Did that answer your question . Yeah, it did. Thank you so much for all the work and you and the program does. Thank you so much. Are electrthere any other me of the public that wish to testify . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. President yee. I would like to thank our presenters for presenting today. I know theres a lot of work to be done and certainly if im a little intense with the questions, i care about this issue. I hope some of the suggestions i made weve heard and that could actually strengthen some of your efforts, because all of us want to make sure that our patients up there are being well taken care of. I guess i have to go visit the hospital more often. I only go up th
Their story. Then we become their advocates and connect them to city resources, detox, drug treatment, mental and medical healthcare, and if possible, a pathway to housing. Most people we engage and help dont need this bill, but perhaps youve seen that person in stoolsoiled clothes that hasnt moved from their location in hours with skin red and swollen with infection, that is wholly dependant on the kindness of others and the Emergency Response system for survival. You might have rightly asked, why doesnt someone do something . But what if that person refuses everything the city has to offer, including housing, what then . To allow this person to publicly deteriorate and die is not acceptable. Mayor breed, senator wiener, supervisor mandelman, thank you for listening and for acting. Sb1045 and sb40 provide a tool to help those who cant care for themselves get on a pathway to health and a pathway to housing. Thank you. [ applause ]. Thank you. As you can see, here we are and this is an
