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
Memorial building and this building and all around. We want to make that part of the discussion that happens there. We talk about the work we have to do. We want to say thanks to the citizens that we have been able to get the funding to make it all happen. Thank you. Probably the most common question i have been asked over the last six weeks. This happens before the earthquake anniversary how much better prepared are we than we were 30 years ago . The answer is much better prepared. That is in great part to the folks here but also the people of San Francisco who have supported all of this work. However, that doe does not meant we can sit back and think everything is okay. These opportunities are helpful and we want to encourage everyone to stay on their toes here and remember it is important if you can prepare, take some measures that you do so. There are many members of the community that arent able to do that. If we can it makes it more important that we make plans and connect with o
Were trying and there has been changes around process, that are intended to address the issues, but it also sounds like that wasnt reflective of the experiences that a lot of people are having. And that actually we can do more and better. So one of the things i would hope would come out of this. Showing the commitment based on what theyre telling us. I think thats something that is clearly needed when we have this commitment to doing better, but thats not experience, at least at the level its needed. I also think there is a lot of different departments that folks need to deal with. And so i was interested in the beginning from oewds perspective, where is that single entry point to make sure that you have the full support of this building and the city government, as you have to navigate these multiple departments. And really making sure that were having the efficiencies. So what does that look like . Also seems to me like, there is opportunities for really more specific and substantial
Were not fully participating in the process, which means that we need people who really meant what they want to do to be in that committee. The civil grand jury members are volunteering 500 hours per year. Nonpaid. You, the board of supervisors in here are paid. Please, take some time to read the recommendation, work with Department Heads to do the work. Started from the effectiveness from the information, website, safety working with the police and the San Francisco m. T. A. We talk about recommendation, and we also know that there is no accountability. Whether people do it or not the civic grand jury members the former or current one will not be able to come in after you or the board of supervisors and Department Heads to implement what we recommend. So we are asking you since you are paid and elected and you wanted to do the best to prevent death and safety for people in San Francisco, i urge you to follow the recommendation and findings. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Than
Projects. The Overall Program consisted of transferring 29 of the Housing Authority profits to local nonprofit and private housing organizations for recapitalization, renovation, and private management. More detailed information is available if youre interested. This mammoth Citywide Program which included almost 3500 units of Affordable Housing throughout San Francisco required the collaboration of a host of public agencies, developers, consultants, contractors, funders, and, most importantly, the residents of Hunters Point eastwest and westbrook themselves. The program demonstrates the citys commitment to leaving none of its residents behind and we are very proud to have been part of it. None of this would have been possible without the vision and leadership of our local elected and appointed officials, many of whom are here today and well do some shoutouts a little bit later. Thank you for celebrating with us. Lets get started. It gives me special pleasure to introduce our first spe
