And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. President breen thank you, madam clerk, any communications. Clerk none to report. President breen colleagues, a motion to approve the minutes of november 14th and november 28, 2017, moved by supervisor kim, seconded by supervisor farrell. Can we take that without objection, approved after Public Comment. All right, madam clerk, call the first item. Clerk special order 2 00 p. M. , is the appearance by the acting mayor, london breed. No questions submitted by the supervisors of the odd district, the mayor may address the board up to five minutes. All right. Happy new year, everyone. Good afternoon. I would like to welcome acting mayor breed to the chamber, now time for question time. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. I appreciate the opportunity to host my first question time as acting mayor. The City Attorney has determined that question time must continue while i serve as the acting mayor. The last time we were together in the chambers we were all reeling from the terrible news we had heard that morning that our mayor, mayor ed lee, had passed. I dont think any of us truly processed the loss of the mayor that day. Emotions were still too raw. Every day since then i have been inspired by the strength and the compassion of this incredible city, and now that we have, we had a month to reflect, i want to talk about how we can continue to honor his work and how we can continue to move the city forward and creatively tackle the challenges our city is still facing. One area where the mayor and i shared a passion was our commitment to addressing issues around homelessness. I am convinced that no one should have to sleep outside in our city anywhere and especially not in a tent. Shivering in the cold or wet from the rain. We are one of the greatest cities in the world during an incredible economic boom but we still have individuals on our door steps battling Substance Abuse, battling Mental Illness and homelessness. One of his last major announcements before the mayor left us was that he pledged to get 1,000 people off the streets this winter and i am committed to following through on that promise. This is why i work with the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing to increase capacity at our shelters this winter, providing additional 75 beds for people to sleep each night. This is why i move forward with opening the auburn hotel which has provided another 70 permanent Affordable Homes for our military veterans and this is why one of my first visits was to hummingbird place, San Franciscos first Navigation Center, dedicated to helping residents dealing with behavioral and Mental Health challenges. I will continue to support initiatives and provide alternatives to living on our streets because we cannot allow individuals to stay in unsafe and inhumane conditions intent encampments. I have walked the streets of our city and witnessed these conditions firsthand and had conversations with the individuals who are experiencing homelessness. When i first, when i visited show place square with our city agencies last month, i saw the critical work of moving our residents out of the tents and into stable situations, and im really grateful to the hot team and our other city departments who provide medical treatment on demand and also we were able to move several individuals into Navigation Centers as well as our shelter system. I also saw how it takes an individual approach each and every person has a different experience with a different need, and i believe in a San Francisco that takes care of all of its residents. Taking care of all of our residents also means creating safe and affordable opportunities for families and residents such as new housing. We broke ground on 108 units of Affordable Housing at hayes valley im really proud of and worked so hard of. I introduced legislation to purchase the mcdonald site to build 100 Affordable Housing, and taking care of our residents, of course, means taking care of needs with Early Childhood education as well. The kind of support that is provided in centers such as the new child care facility and supervisor cohens district we opened last week, 70 new slots for children to have a safe place to learn, to grow and to thrive. By offering these services to all of our communities, including our Public Housing residents, we can help eliminate the achievement gap that begins in Early Childhood education. From education to homelessness to housing to harm reduction, i will continue to pursue policies that reduce homelessness and make San Francisco a safe and resilient city for everyone. Thank you for your time. Thank you very much. This suspends and concludes our mayors question time. Thank you.
