Counciling, sometimes, to all of the Certificate Holders. Sometimes it is not about housing, sometimes it is about Something Else, and she will take the extra mile to figure out, you know, how do i provide these resources to this family . They might not need housing right now but they need Something Else, so we are very blessed to have her on staff and in this role. I understand were running out of time. I would like to get to the dahlia numbers. I appreciate, your work, you know that, but id like for us to keep moving. You got it. She is great. In fact, she will help me right now. So we will take you to dahlia. Dahlia, if you have a smart phone, you have a laptop right there in front of you. If you go to our website, you will get to dahlia. And you see the page comes up. It has a rental side and a homeownership side because you can apply for both opportunities on this one site, and sonia, if you click on the right, i think theres only one available Affordable Housing currently available. I think this project is an inclusionary project on the city side, but every project comes up here. Heres the information about the project. If you scroll down again for me, it gives you all the information that you need to figure out whether you are eligible for this opportunity, it gives you what to expect in the lottery process, what to expect after the application, who to contact, it explains all the lottery preferences. If you need help, it will tell you where to go to get help, rental assistance, and any other additional eligibility rules are there, right there on the dahlia page. It explains what were doing with criminal background. And then, gives you more information here is a map of where the project is. Additional information, the required documents you are going to have to have two apply, especially if you want to claim the preferences. And then the Important Program rules, here is the fine print. People can click here and find out getting into the weeds on the details of applying for the project. And then there is an email housing alert to sign up of people arent already signed up. We are actually going to open up an application. There we go. Okay. Before we begin the application, it is asking us if we have an account, because if you create an account, you dont have to fill it out every single time. You can just put it in once, and the only thing that you have to fill out, if you want to apply to another project, is your income. It will always ask you to update your income if your income has changed. It is in several different languages. You can choose the language you want. Sonja, choose the English Version there today. It gives you there is still no expiration. What to expect, when you are going to need for this application, and then we get to the application itself. And the only information that we really need where we are putting your name, it is hard to see if there with the transcript, but you put in your name, your birth date, and an email address. If you dont have an email address, you can still apply. It will warn you if you dont have an email address that we wont be able to give you your lottery number right away, and that you have to wait until it is posted after the lottery to see what youre lottery results are. People can always apply, and i missed pointing that part out. And the listing, it will show that if you just want to print out a paper application and submit a paper application, you can still do that. We are never going to not accept a paper application, but if you do submit a paper application, if you want your lottery results , you have to submit a selfaddressed stamped envelope that we will then send you what the lottery results are. She is now filling in the phone number and her address. When she puts in this information, in the background, dahlia is taking in the information so if the household qualifies for any preference like the live or work in San Francisco preference, it will see that she lives in San Francisco, and tell her, you live in San Francisco, you may qualify for that preference, as well. It is telling us weve got Something Else to do before we can go on. We didnt put in thats very good, she put in a fake address. It knows all of the San Francisco addresses, and tell you that it doesnt exist. Go back again, and figure out the address. I am going to keep letting her go and keep moving on, but dahlia is we also have, we know that not everyone has a smart phone or laptop or a computer, so we also have the community has invested in nonprofits throughout the city to help people who have every week throughout the city there is a clinic, a rental housing clinic that people can go to and get help with dahlia, get help with technology. If you need to figure out how to create an email account, so that you can do this, we can help walk people through that, and get full out housing counciling with help with credit , help with financial planning, and other resources to help people apply. Im going to move to the next slide, only because we are running out of time. Yeah,. Can you exit this . We have to go back down here. I want to go back to displaced households in the sixties and seventies so that i can explain a little bit about what that 925 number is, and i want to apologize for confusion about these numbers because i think it has been confusing. It is the way that weve explained it in the past. So we currently have we know about 6,829 households that were displaced. There were, originally, we have records from the original displacement of 6,137 households , so that is the number we start with. But we have added 692 households how does that happen . Back in the day, they gave certificates to households, not individuals, and it was just the head of household that got the certificate, but we are giving certificates to individuals that were in that household, so, lord have mercy, people have lots of children, so if the child comes to us and they are on the household list, we will give them a certificate. If the child comes to us and they are not on the household list, but they have their birth certificate and you are clearly part of that household, but for whatever reason, their parents didnt include them there, or maybe the head of household was their there aunt or uncle, and they werent they didnt put them on the lease, the landlord might have been upset about that , so they didnt put them on the lease, they were clearly part of the household, they can document being part of that household. We will give them a certificate. So thats how we come up with the 6,892 number, which is bigger then the original 6,137 number. What we know about all those people, we know that 1,792 are housed, we know that 1,618 are deceased, we know that 925 are in contact with us. Of that 925, many of them are housed already. Many of them have exercised their certificate already. We will get there. That 2,494, we do not have contact with those people, and maybe we never did because when they left in the sixties and seventies, they didnt provide forwarding address or contact information, and or maybe they are deceased, as well. Of those 925, around 400 of them have never used their certificate. 300 have used it already. They can use it twice. There are about 200 people that are actively looking for housing , or applying for housing this slide shows the 2017 and 2018 location of all the ocii projects and how many people have applied to those projects. There were 61 applications. Eighteen of those 61 were actually housed. That sounds abysmal, doesnt it . It is tricky because it is the golden ticket. And through conversations with the people applying and from what we know, they are applying multiple times, and they wait until they get the phone call to decide whether they actually want to live in that unit or in that building. Some of them say, i dont even look at the particulars of the property. I apply and i know i will get the call, and when i get the call, i will go and look. So there are a lot of folks that withdraw, or they dont respond because they actually are waiting for another opportunity. We have 35 of those people who were actually housed, while they were 18 housed in ocii projects, there were 17 housed in city projects, so it is a total during that year of 35 people. Seventeen actually wanted to apply to be on a waitlist for a building that they really want, so when the waitlist opened, they apply, and they go to the top of the waitlist. There were 12 folks that were over income for the opportunities that they applied for, which always is disheartening, and eight that were under income. The rest were there were some other barrier that stopped them from being housed. We really come a long way with outreach to the Certificate Holders for those that are eligible for a certificate, and i know every time i come before you, commissioners, i tell you that, davis and the Bayview Senior Center outreach Center Outreach program that they have their has been instrumental in finding and encouraging people to apply to see if they qualify for their certificate. So you will see when dr. Davis was built, the and warmest number of applicants that we had to see whether or not they were eligible for the certificate of Preference Program. In 2017, we took the list that we had received, of all of the addresses that we did have a certificate of preference holders, and we did a mailing, at that time, it was 891, and we asked to do a survey of those 891 people. We got 114 responses, which is not so bad, and of those 114 certificate of preference holders that responded, we got we were able to capture preferences for what type of housing they were looking for, the location, their intent to even use their certificate. Fiftyone of them responded and were interested in senior housing, that is no big surprise , and 85 of them said that they know that when they tell somebody, when they tell other people that they know who are qualified, that they are eligible for the certificate. The wordofmouth is the number 1 way that we get, that we are able to increase the number of Certificate Holders. One Family Member realizes that they get this certificate or makes the phone call, then suddenly we have five more and from the same household making the phone call. The other thing we found out about, are many things we found out about with a hundred and 14 people, we are able to see gender and age of the group. We were able to see their income ranges, and where they currently live. The majority of the folks that we talked to were female, they were over 50 years old, no surprise there either, and the vast majority, or many of them were under 30,000, their income was under 30,000 a year. And 60 live in San Francisco still. So we have taken that information and we have done, you know, some pretty relevant things with it. We are ensuring that those various levels of income that we are reaching folks below 50 of 80 and income. We are requiring a mix of unit types and sizes. We are continuing in our advocacy for additional rental subsidies. We are working with the Cue Foundation and other nonprofits that the city provides funding to to give rental subsidies to seniors and people with disabilities, and we are making sure that each and every certificate of preference holder knows that they can have access to applying for these rental subsidies so that they continue to apply. We are connecting comprehensive services with all age groups, not just seniors, but all age groups, and then we are, you know, we put together ocii staff who put together a pipeline of projects coming to the western edition, because we heard from these folks that they really wanted to return to the western edition, and theres not a lot of tilting in the western edition, so we put together this pipeline to show them that there is stuff coming. And may not be right here, but it is coming. We are making sure that those developers are doing that outreach, the early outreach, and then and thats the not prop the nonprofits are working with housing counciling agencies. San francisco Housing Development corporation were brainstorming with them programs that target certificate of Preference Programs. They have a Service Savings program so they can match their savings and pay for the deposits , and we are talking about a c. O. P. Club, you know, working with other certificate of preference holders and, you know, having a networking kind of thing for folks that they are talking about hosting, and then, we are also making sure that we check in with them to make sure that those programs are working. I see that my time is coming to an end here. I know you have to be out of here soon. I want to make sure we have time for questions and answers from the public and the commission. How about if we go to some comments from the public. Are there any public speakers . Yes, we have oscar james. Good afternoon, again. Oscar james. I was originally on the committee that created the certificate of preference. Theres a calendar, in 1968, you had it on your website. It goes through the whole history of joint housing and Hunters Point and our subcommittees. In that particular place, they talk about certificates and where the certificates came from they came out of Bayview Hunter s point. They had already torn down most of the addition, the booker t. Washington hotel in the whole lot of historical buildings that were torn down. We were responsible for these development the development was responsible to go directly to h. U. D. , at that time, it was paying the Redevelopment Agency. We were basically watchdogs to make sure that redevelopment didnt do what they did. We they brought Justin Herman out there. We gave him some words, and thats what came out of the certificate of preference. We got a certificate of preference, and each person over the age of 18 and up got 4,500. Husband and wife, we got 4,500. If my son had of been 18, he would have got 4,500. He is 52 now. Each person in that house, my daughter got a certificate, my son get a certificate, i get information on new housing that ocii builds in any part of the city. So anyone was in that house at that particular time, there was a lot of people who had six kids , ten kids, each one of those kids got a certificate of preference. They are now living in modesto and they will not come back here those were my nieces and nephews they have certificates. My problem is, a lot of these young brothers, they were young when i was young, they went to the pen, males and females who are coming home now that have certificates. What happens with the person who was making 15 an hour . We have no housing for those people making 15 an hour. This agency should look out for those peoples who is making 15 an hour. Your ceiling this too high for a lot of people his. I was fortunate enough to put my money on my home which now is worth 154 million. 1. 4 million. I would not be able to live there today. Do you understand what i was saying . No way in the world i could live there. That is what is happening in the western edition. The homes are a Million Dollars plus. But what happens to the peoples who are making 14 or 15 an hour you need to put in services where you have at least 500dollar rent for those peoples, you know, you gave me too short of a time. Thank you, im just try to get us on time. Anybody else . Linda Parker Pennington . She is back. I wanted to tell you a story really quick about three young africanamerican boys. When we moved in four years ago to the shipyard, we hadnt put up our Window Coverings yet, so our living room was just open to the street right on donahue, so the doorbell rang, and there were these three, young, africanamerican males at the door, riding their bicycles by the house, and they were ages 12 , ten, and eight. Ones name was jamal. I remember that. They looked inside the house and they asked me, how much did you pay for that house . And so that sort of took me aback, coming from young men their age, and i said okay, i dont know what relevance is will have to you, but i will answer your question directly. It was less then a Million Dollars. So they looked around and they said, well, when they tear down our housing when where we are now, and they pointed up to the public housing, we are going to get a free house, and then they jumped on their bikes and their left. And i thought to myself, that cant possibly be true, but apparently this is how the story got to them of what was happening to them when this shipyard was developed, and then their places would disappear, and they would move somewhere, and it would be for free. That is what was going on in their minds. So fast forward to last saturday , i went to the bayview opera house for the anti eviction mapping project, there launch party for the publication of dislocation black exodus. The problem is that this is a much bigger problem than certificates of preference. My husband worked for a nonprofit called s. F. Urban a number of years ago, and he does firsttime homebuyer training and he was trying to find people with certificates of preference from all over, wherever they got to, even modesto or stockton, or wherever to see if they wanted to come back and move back to San Francisco, to the fillmore. Or bayview, wherever. It was really hard. Theres just not enough time to do that job, to find and reconstruct those people, make sure that they are descendents, they have an opportunity to buy, and all i want to say is, and i think the data is really excellent, but i think we need to do much, much more to stem the tide of black and brown people who cannot afford to live in San Francisco. It is really hurting our city. Thank you. Number speaker cards. Anybody else . Seeing none, im closing Public Comment and i will turn to my fellow commissioners for any questions or comments. Is a i have a comment to say thank you for your presentation, and i cannot tell you how much i appreciate y
