Time and thats a challenge but not one that over kwips your abilities. Start small and work off within small goals and build yourself up. That is how you will get where you need to be. There is no need to try to save the next day, try to reach exact lau e what i have done. Im just a humble person who has a couple questions. So, thank you. Dont forget to email us and let us know when you arrive. I think i already have a couple advocacy videos and they do great works and it took some effort with their local networks to get some paving done. There is a park in taipei that has a water fall that is very beautiful that for a long time it was unaccessible. They worked out with other advocates to get that park paved from all the way to the water fall and have beautiful ramps to restrooms and a bridge, a ramp that goes all the way around so someone with a mobility device can go there with a loved one and share that moment of the water fall. So yes, i will get back in touch with you. I have a co
What we have learned with your short amount of time. Was it a year . About a year. I will miss you as well as everyone else. The Mayors Office on disability took a step further and i will now read the proclamation from the Mayors Disability Council. Whereas derek zarda has served in the San Francisco since 2013.

Good afternoon, chairman, council, all the councilmembers, my name is latonia dixon, i am the president of the San Francisco Veterans Alliance club and im also disabled veteran. I have pts with anxiety and my rating was pretty high as well, but i wanted to speak about the jobs and i guess mostly actually housing in the medical benefit. Housing, i was told by many veterans that there is difficulty in getting housing if they have pet or their service dogs, so i guess i was trying to find out if there is anyway, especially now like there are a lot of apartments they are not allowing pets or service dogs into their apartments, so thats even more difficult for a veteran or people with disabilities to even get housing and im trying to see if there is anyway possible that maybe swords of plow shares or ilrc if there is a listing or something that can help the veteran so they can go to different places to find so they wont be stressing out especially those that have pts like me.

Latonia, i wanted to touch upon a comment that you made earlier regarding Service Animals and some of your clients experienced barriers to housing with animals. I want to say that is against the law under the housing amendments act. There are resources out there from our office. If a client is trying to get housing through a city program or city housing, they can file a complaint with our office and there is another city office to help mediate issues with disabilities at the human rights commission.

So even though housing might have a no pets policy, Service Animals can be exempt from that and ev
