We dont know how many Homeless Individuals actually participate in the program. Then in addition, you may have noticed on that chart, there are a number of departments, nine i believe, that showed no homeless participants whatsoever. A problem with some of the data is they dont provide any information on the residents of their parent pa their parent participants, so we dont know if there were homeless participants and they werent reported or if they didnt have any, anyway, but they dont fill in that data in their responses to the oewd annual inventory. As i mentioned, they dont have authority to compel the department to provide the data so it leaves a question and uncertainty about the actual level of participation of Homeless Individuals. Another factor, the last one here listed on this slide is that the homeless participants are counted in a different way than some of the other priority populations for Workforce Development services. Priority populations are identified in the five ye

Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. I am John Mccormick in the Community Organizing office. I am here to tell the story of cheryl china coworker and member of the tenderloin peoples congress. On wednesday of this week cheryl was attacked on the corner of golden gate and leavenworth across the street from my office. A whole can of mace was unloaded to her. She ran across the street and was briefly pursued by the gentleman who unloaded the mace on her. He unloaded a whole can of mace. Under no circumstance is that okay in any circumstance. Cheryl is very traumatized by this. She is not feeling good. She is in the condition i havent personally seen her in before, and she believes like i did that if we had treatment on demand, this never would have happened. Treatment on demand if it was implemented years ago, the Mental Health of the people in the tenderloin would be better and this never would happen.

Your confidence collapses. I would almost argue that every person who experiences homelessness in the city, especially the way the city is right now, is partially suicidal. I thought about it when i was homeless before i got in the shelter i thought about suicide at least once or twice each week. That changed when i finally got into a shelter. What it means to basically have a safe place. I went from being with the coalition it is having a safe consumption site. I live in the tenderloin. I dont want to see people having to be on the streets with dirty hands injecting something into their body to kill them with bacteria. I went to see a place where people can go to do their drugs and this is coming from Harm Reduction model completely. I worked at the foundation and we had needles in the 80s and 90s, it was against the law but we did it anyway. I want the city to stand up and take care of the citizens.
