I want to urge my colleagues to support this, and thank Abigail Stewart from the Mayors Office, and the neighboring community for participating in the Community Process and providing thoughtful, productive feedback. Clearly, we have a huge need to build additional Navigation Centers and additional Navigation Center beds, and this areas surrounding 33 gough, which is in district 6, but borders district 5, district 8, and district 9, as well, in need of additional services. The old City Building has been an eyesore and has sat vacant for sometime. I also want to thank the Budget Committee for adopting a commitment to outreach and resources in the neighborhood. I believe this Navigation Center, with its size and location, presents a unique opportunity to collaborate with local service providers. Many of you may have seen some of the recent changes that the department of homelessness and hsoc have been discussing, and now saying in some cases publicly about moving away from a complaint driven system that has used police as First Responders to homelessness and has unfortunately struggled to get people into stable housing and services. Instead, what i believe we need is a more intentional model which is led by social workers and trained outreach workers to prioritize people in need. I look forward to continuing to partner with the department of homelessness, the Mayors Office to make sure this center succeeds, and of course to approving more centers all over the city in the near future. Thank you. President yee okay. Colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call . Without objection, this item is adopted unanimously. [gavel].

[gavel]. President yee supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, president yee. Colleagues, last week, as you know, we had this item come before us, and we were concerned that some of these assets that are scheduled to come to the city and county of San Francisco to the successor agency, the Redevelopment Agency, would come at a potential cost. It was my understanding that the department of public works and the City Administrators Office were going to propose, although it is not in my possession, long where in we would language where in we would sever out a number of streets and sidewalks that would come with liability to the city and county of San Francisco and send those back to committee pending a financial workout, and that we would accept the rec and park property alice rogers and mohcd properties including but not limited to the foodco in district 10. I am not in receipt of that legislation, although it was promised to me yesterday by mr. Spitz of public works. So i would like to make a motion to continue this item to later in the hearing today, and if we receive it, then i would like to introduce those amendments. And if we do not, i would like to make a motion later in todays meeting to continue it to next week. So i would like to make a motion to continue this until later in the meeting, mr. President.

President yee okay. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call . Without objection, the item is adopted unanimously [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, can we go to roll call. Clerk supervisor haney . Supervisor haney Overdose Deaths increased dramatically from 259 in 2018 to over 330 Overdose Deaths in 2019. When you break that number down, thats nearly one person a day, which is a massive increase from 2018. That increase is absolutely devastating. Each one of these people are had futures that were unnecessarily and needlessly cut short. Loved ones, family, and friends, and we know that lives could have been saved if there were Overdose Prevention sites that were open. The permitting process that weve created with this legislation is a necessary next step in combatting the opioid crisis. The legislation will allow the city and the department of Public Health to establish a permitting process for third party nonprofit providers who will be medical professionals to operate a safe injection site as part of the Overdose Prevention program. What were proposing is not a radical, new idea. 100 Overdose Prevention sites operate in cities around the world. None has experienced an overdose death, and thousands have gained access to services and therapy. In 2017, mayor breed and the department of Public Health created a task force on addressing the opioid epidemic. The task forces overarching recommendation was to support the safe Operation Services in San Francisco and recommended that the city should open a site. The board of supervisors unanimously passed a resolution that i authored declaring a Public Health crisis on Drug Overdoses and drug use. In that resolution, the board directs the department of public directed the department of Public Health to form a plan on that crisis. That plan included the need to open an Overdose Prevention site, which would be a critical part of a larger strategy to address overdoses in our city. We also need to stream line funding and state support for rapid crisis intervention for people who are in psychosis or at risk of overdose, deploy massive street outreach to help the most vulnerable and coordinate a local, regional, and statewide movement with law enforcement. There was a huge victory in philadelphia that found that Overdose Prevention sites would not violate criminal law. We also desperately need leadership and support from the state. This is not a time for us to move slowly or delay action. It is going to take all of us using everything we have to address this most deadly crisis and for all of us to Work Together to save lives. I want to thank mayor breed and her office, all of our Community Partners that have committed to this work from the safer inside coalition, including Lindsey Lasalle from the drug policy alliance, laura thomas from the sf aids foundation, by st. Anthonys, the drug users coalition. They save thousands of lives every year, and they should be supported and commended by all of us, and we should listen to them when they tell us that Drug Overdose sites are the next way to respond to prevent overdoses. Im also proposing legislation that no tenant in city housing pays more than 30 of their income to rent. Permanent Supportive Housing is a critical piece of San Franciscos homelessness response system. We hows house approximately 10,000 formerly homeless residents every overnight, and theyre all paying no more than 30 of their income to rent. This has been an intentional and critical policy to ensure that tenants who are working towards more independent living can dedicate some of their income each month to things that they need to get by. The problem is we currently have an inequitable and inconsistent policy for setting rent in permanent Supportive Housing. Nearly a third of our Supportive Housing tenants, approximately 3,000 of the most vulnerable tenants of the city, are right hand burdened, paying significantly more of had not already lowincomes to rent. This is a burden that is not imposed by landlords, but imposed by the city and county of San Francisco. The buildings for rents are highest not only represent buildings with the most capital needs, they also tend to represent those that house tenants with the highest acuity and most vulnerable. Sometimes these tenants are paying as much as 70 or 80 of their s. S. I. Or general assistance to rents, leaving them with barely anything to get through the month. I hear from many of these tenants in my district who are struggling to afford basic needs. The city should not be taking hundreds of dollars a month out of their pockets which makes it more difficult to afford Public Transportation and food costs and makes it more likely that they will be back out on the streets. 18 of households in Supportive Housing received notices of evicts for nonpayment of rent. Unfortunately, funds have not yet been allocated as the Mayors Office and department of homelessness have expressed concern that we can maintain services to these clients over time. What has been clear in this process is that we need a single standard. Without such a standard for all units, we will continue to leave thousands of tenants rent burdened by our city, putting them in a position where they cannot afford food, and likely that they will end back in a street. This legislation will set a single level, which we know is the right thing to do, but as of now, we have no plan to actually accomplish it. I want to thank the chair of the Budget Committee, sandra fewer, for her commitment to ensuring that we spend the 1 million that had been allocated, as well as president norman yee, who has been a leader to ensure we provide subsidies for seniors and to ensure we keep that rent burden at the 30 level. This is something we will look to in terms of a timeline, and im looking forward to working with the mayor and the department of homelessness and all of you to make sure we do this in a fiscally responsible way. This was recommended by the citys s. R. O. Task force, and there was a number of members, including jordan davis and other Supportive Housi
