There are so many jobs in the city that are coming down the pike, we want to make sure that they have a network to stay connected with each other. So on that note were working with San Francisco unified school district, as well as integrating veterans preorientation programs there. As well as the Sf State University Veterans Club to generate internship paths into construction employers like webcor, turner, dbs and other employers. We can start with the transbay project and then move forward from there. So its kind of a multipronged approach and still a work in progress. Working with the unions, as well as the Building Trades to make sure that we have got them all aligned and identifying existing veterans in the union first, followed by any possible newhires and beating the bushs to make sure that we get veterans integrated. Kind of a lot to swallow, but i have a handout that outlines everything that we have done todate. Webcor obayashi has hired nine direct hire positions within our co
Have been out, i have been hear more about mobile retailers. I saw something on tv and it wasnt in San Francisco, but its in other cities and my gut feeling was a few years ago when mobile food trucks came out, oh, that wont affect us here, but guess what, that is affecting us here. You are starting to see them pop up. There was the rubber person selling the rubber stuffer out the truck and they vanished and i havent seen them around.

Mayor lee i also have the director of hud here and he is going to lead us and then we will have mayor lee up in a moment. Thank you very much and it really is a privilege to be here with you today and to build on henrys comments and its extraordinary that the grants across the country that were awarded to hud two of them are in the same state and its more extraordinary that both of them are in the same city, San Francisco so congratulations. [cheers and applause] so for context i just want to mention a few things and this is no news to all of you here in the room and the people standing up with me today, but today in america more than 10 Million People are living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty and limited investment and opportunities for themselves and their children, and we know that one of the most important factors in determining
Ground. This shouldnt be the way things should be, and when i got into the board and i concluded the same thing and i said milton god bless you. I couldnt have been here for ten years and put up with this stuff. And he just laughed and smiled and thank god he had been there for the people of San Francisco for city college and more importantly the students of that institutionifieding that fight when no one really cared about what was happening over there. It was very easy not to care. I think that tells you something about a man, a son of privilege, fighting quietly for a decade for children who could never imagine such privilege. I think it tells you something about a man who when he finally got into power whrks he finally had a majority vote on the board of trustees and became president , which was really the last three years issue the first thing he.
