Next speaker. Yes. Thank you. Hello supervisors. Im with senior and disability action. I just want to say, i agree that setasides are not a perfect policy mechanism but the reality is we work within the flawed system we have. One of the only tools for poor and marginalized communities right now is setasides to get resources for the services that have been historically underfunded. The dignity fund helps fund among other things for seniors to stay in homes and not be evicted and not displaced and end up far away from San Francisco and the communities we know. Were doing a Needs Assessment for the dignity fund right now. It takes time to figure out how to spend the money in a way thats responsible and best for our communities. The claw back provision would hurt seniors and people with disabilities. We certainly all agree we need a better budget process, one that involves and really hears Community Members, and meets peoples needs and this is not that. Please oppose this legislation. Than
Collaborations. I wanted to talk about a few things were doing in addition to our regular programming. We have implemented a number of the recommendations of the lgbt aging policy task force that came out, that is spearheaded by tom nolan, and its just really exciting to see these recommendations turn into programs.

They advocate for funding for services for a
We also we use this information also to think about how we allocate funding. One of the things weve been able to do i guess in the last year with the nutrition request for proposal, we were able to look at the impact we had on people and start thinking about allocating those dollars a little bit differently and you probably remember we talked about that when linda lou came and presented on the nutrition contracts we had. And then in longterm care operations, we launched the support home pilot to serve older adults who have functional needs tore home care. Those unable to buy home care on the private market. And then because thats a pilot, we also have engaged ucsf to conduct a formal evaluation of that program. Now we can go to the next slide. So, Additional Community collaborations.
