Transcripts For SFGTV SFCTA Vision Zero Committee 20240712 :

We dont know how many Homeless Individuals actually participate in the program. Then in addition, you may have noticed on that chart, there are a number of departments, nine i believe, that showed no homeless participants whatsoever. A problem with some of the data is they dont provide any information on the residents of their parent pa their parent participants, so we dont know if there were homeless participants and they werent reported or if they didnt have any, anyway, but they dont fill in that data in their responses to the oewd annual inventory. As i mentioned, they dont have authority to compel the department to provide the data so it leaves a question and uncertainty about the actual level of participation of Homeless Individuals. Another factor, the last one here listed on this slide is that the homeless participants are counted in a different way than some of the other priority populations for Workforce Development services. Priority populations are identified in the five year plan that i mentioned, prepared by the Alignment Committee for Workforce Development. So there are 19 different groups identified as priority population, but their level of participation is counted in different ways. We cant compare homeless participants to some of the other groups or see how they rank relative to the other groups and what the total composition of participants is across the city for all programs. If you can go to the next slide. This will show all of the priority populations identified in the five year plan. So, you see here 19 different groups. All of the groups you can easily imagine why they are identified as priority groups or the need for job training, counseling, and Workforce Development services is important. What the plan doesnt do is prioritize them in any way. Leaving them the question of when you see participation numbers, you have to judge if this is a good result or not a good result. If we look at for example, individuals with disabilities and the number of participants recorded, are we hitting a target, is that a good amount considering the total population of individuals with disabilities in San Francisco. We dont know how many 8,011 Homeless Individuals in the city but the number of participants we cant translate to compare to that number. Then the bigger question of is that a fair share of the total population of people receiving Workforce Development services and where is the need the greatest . The Plan Document does a good job of identifying these populations and providing characteristics about them and the need for them to receive these services, but it doesnt provide a way of ranking or setting priorities among the groups. So if you can go to the next slide. So overall, i mentioned some limitations of the homeless participation, but these issues are broader and effect all of the participation data provided. Again, there is no priority for the different groups, the 19 groups. Participation is tracked in their inventory for 12 of the 19 groups in great detail. We can take certain groups and see which particular programs they are in, what the level of funding is for those programs, what type of program it is, is it a Job Readiness Program or is it an employment support subsidized job program. You can get very rich details, but unfortunately the way the inventory instrument was designed, and it was a group process designing it, we get limited data on the Homeless Population compared to some of the others. So we cant see for the Homeless Individuals participating what specific programs theyre in, how many dollars were spent on the programs that they are participating in and the types of programs provided. I will say that the Human Services agency and oewd does track more detail on their homeless participants than the other 15 departments that provides the services. Even hsa and oewd doesnt track this in the same way. The problem is looking across the city, looking at all programs, looking at all populations and getting the full picture of services being provided and how resources are being allocated by type of service. Could you move to the next slide please . This slide that is about to appear, youll see the 12 priority population groups that are tracked with the greater level of detail that i was describing. So for these groups, you can pull the information from the inventory and get, i think a richer analysis of their participation and level of resource allocation. Unfortunately, even with this, a lot of the Service Providing departments dont provide this data to show which groups they are providing their services to. So out of the 26,142 participants reported for fiscal year 19, there were 758 that werent assigned to any of these priority population groups. So thats about 29 . So its a sizable portion and it would certainly be more useful for you as the policymaker and the managers of the program to have that information and again see the full display of participants by group. Again, this level of detail excludes the homeless, which means the homeless participants are embedded in these numbers, but we dont know how many. Probably a lot are in Public Benefits recipients, a lot in the unemployed program, but without that information we cant see specifics of what programs theyre in and how resources are allocated. Well go to the next slide. I mentioned earlier some of the challenges, particularly for chronically homeless. I did want to point out that some of the services we identified in the process of researching for this report are not included in the 264 programs that are defined as Workforce Development and come under the planning and coordination umbrella of oewd. Some of these we think are interesting and they qualify as Workforce Development but theyre in different pockets of the citys structure. One is the Behavioral Health division at the department of Public Health. Theres 9. 5 billion worth of programs being provided that provide both Behavioral Health services, Mental Health counselling, or Substance Services combined with a job counselling or training component. So many of them are the peer to peer programs, where the participants are getting Behavioral Health services, as well as training and coaching to other clients who are receiving Behavioral Health services. There is also the collaborative arrangement with the state department of rehabilitation, providing vocational and Behavioral Health counselling services and they have a Career Connections Program for transitional aged youth, with a similar theme. Community block grant is to the office of economic and Workforce Development and some programs that combine job force, a job Preparation Service with other types of services that is using a more holistic Case Management approach so that participants in those programs can get a broader array of Services Including job training and counselling. For both the Behavioral Health programs and the Community Block grant funded program, the participants arent countieded by population. We dont know how many Homeless Individuals are receiving these services, but Behavioral Health reports that on average about half of the clients are homeless and the funds that are allocated go to providers that provide ho homele Homelessness Services. We dont have any data to report to you on that. These programs collect the data in different ways, so there isnt a uniform approach to how its collected. Finally we wanted to mention a collaboration that is underway, a new initiative with the h. S. A. , oewd, and the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing. Theyre working to design a system for the coordinated points of entry that each operates as people enter Homelessness Services and again looking for all the possible services that those individuals need and what they want to do is integrate job readiness into that. So someone may be needing housing and they will be looking for housining for that person, t they may also be good candidates for Workforce Development or job training services, and they would attempt to put those together and at the same time with Behavorial Health services as needed as well. If we could go to the next slide. We have prepared some policy options as a result of this analysis that we conducted. These are things that the board of supervisors could consider. There are more details in the report, but just briefly there are some opportunities we think for more legislation to amend administrative code to mandate departments provide Workforce Development services in a consistent fashion so that the data problems i mentioned could be improved and managers and policymakers could actually get a much better picture of the effectiveness of the programs being served so that we know how money is being spent, who is receiving the services and what kind of results are being achieved. Some departments, the h. S. A. For example, report information about who was employed at the time they received services and who had jobs. If its subsidized or unsubsidized. Its a great measure, but unfortunately not all departments are counting that type of measure. We also think this Alignment Committee that i mentioned earlier that designed the five year plan, those updates should be reinstated. That would authorize the admin code. Its sunseted in 2019, seemed to provide a useful service. So we think it would be useful to have those authorized again and have its role codified in the admin code. We also think the department of Public Health should be part of it since many are taking place in d. P. H. We also suggested the workforce Investment Board and the Alignment Committee to clarify population, set goals so that when the results are measured at the end, that you can compare it to the different priority populations. Is there a question popping up . Okay. We also suggested the oewd report back to the board of supervisors on possible costs for improving the Data Collection effort and getting consistent measures for all population groups and for all programs being provided and that the d. P. H. Behavioral health track and report back to the board on homeless participants and their programs, particularly the integrated programs. Finally, i actually cant see it so im trying to remember the fifth one. I will have to rewind in my memory. There it is. So consider additional funding. So i think particularly integrating service. The first question is getting some of the data stream and seeing how were doing now and how effective the program is. Its difficult to conclude that were providing enough services or not enough services or too much services for the homeless or any one group with what we have right now, but we can see there is somewhere probably less than 1,700 Individuals Receiving Services or 7 of the participants in the way that the data is currently being counted. So thats a quick summary. You should have received the report yesterday that has more details and mary and cody are the project staff on this analysis are available to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. Thank you very much. This is very interesting. I think this report. I see supervisor walton in the queue. Thank you chair fewer. Thank you for requesting this presentation. One of the things we know is that its very important to understand how much resources are going to Workforce Development programs and figuring out how much resources go to Workforce Development, different departments have Workforce Development programs and opportunities, but there is definitely a different definition across city departments so the alignment, we have been discussing is very important. To the point in terms of recommendations, our office will be introducing legislation to reconvene and bring back the alignment, the workforce Alignment Group that is continuing to work. So that will be forthcoming as something our offices has always been dedicated to making happen. Just a couple of questions. One, obviously they have Workforce Programs for young people, 14 to 17 and then 18 up to 24. Did we purse that out or does that include 14 to 24 total . Supervisor walton, the information on the slide is per everything provided by the department. Its not parched out in this data. The department of children and youth and their families, thats almost entirely participants under the age of 18. So that gives you some measure there. For the other agencies, youth would be embedded in the totals. Thank you so much. Do we have anyone from oewd and d. P. H. Here at this meeting chair fewer . Yes, we do. Next on the queue is someone from h. S. A. And then we have josh from oewd. Then we have a presentation from the homeless employment collaborative. So would you like to hear their presentations first and then we can circle back for comments and questions. Actually, i dont have any questions for any of them, just a statement. Sure. One, i would love to work with oewd and d. P. H. On specific designs for Workforce Development programs for our inhouse populations. There is much more work to do. I know d. P. H. Has been really trying to focus on being able to provide more Workforce Development Type Services and i believe they have the resource us for us to be able to do that. I think this is something thats important and that the department should prioritize. With that, i am done with my comments. Thank you. Thank you very much. So, seeing no one else in the queue, lets go with h. S. A. Thank you, good afternoon supervisors. Im the Deputy Director for economic support at h. S. A. As you already know, the mission of the agency is to promote the wellbeing and the Economic Security of San Francisco residents. Given the late meeting start time, we were asked to condense our comments so im going to present just a few of the slides i prepared and primarily spend my time highlighting two initiatives of our Workforce Development division, one is jobs now and the other is a group of homeless Employment Services contracts that we administer. Let me go ahead and see if i can share my screen with you so you can see these slides. Are those visible to you now . Yes. Okay, great. So jobs now is really the centerpiece of h. S. A. s Workforce Development programing. It is actually an umbrella in which there are multiple sub programs that are designed to meet the needs of job seekers at Different Levels of job readiness. Depending on their needs and their interest, Program Participants may receive job readiness training, Vocational Training, career coaching, subsidized Work Experience, and whole range of employment support such as fast passes for transportation for work, subsidized child care, vouchers for professional clothing, and link damage to a whole array of support services such as Legal Services and Behavioral Health support. The clients who are served through jobs now are primarily public aid recipients enrolled in the programs, all of whom are low income by definition. Many, but not all of our clients have multiple barriers to employment, including low educational attainment, limited english proficiency, housing instability, Behavioral Health issues or criminal background. I called out on this slide that nearly 9,000 of the participants have identified as homeless. Thats a data snapshot from last month. Thats about 14 of those case loads. Its worth noting that any of those Homeless Individuals are able to avail themselves of the full array of jobs now services. Many of our jobs now particip t participants are mandated to participate in a Work Activity but many voluntarily opt into our Homeless Individuals<\/a> actually participate in the program. Then in addition, you may have noticed on that chart, there are a number of departments, nine i believe, that showed no homeless participants whatsoever. A problem with some of the data is they dont provide any information on the residents of their parent pa their parent participants, so we dont know if there were homeless participants and they werent reported or if they didnt have any, anyway, but they dont fill in that data in their responses to the oewd annual inventory.

The department of children and youth and their families, thats almost entirely participants under the age of 18. So that gives you some measure there. For the other agencies, youth would be embedded in the totals. Thank you so much. Do we have anyone from oewd and d. P. H. Here at this meeting chair fewer . Yes, we do. Next on the queue is someone from h. S. A. And then we have josh from oewd. Then we have a presentation from the homeless employment collaborative. So would you like to hear their presentations first and then we can circle back for comments and questions. Actually, i dont have any questions for any of them, just a statement. Sure. One, i would love to work with oewd and d. P. H. On specific designs for Workforce Development<\/a> programs for our inhouse populations. There is much more work to do. I know d. P. H.

I think this is something thats important and that the department should prioritize. With that, i am done with my comments. Thank you. Thank you very much. So, seeing no one else in the queue, lets go with h. S. A. Thank you, good afternoon supervisors. Im the Deputy Director<\/a> for economic support at h. S. A. As you already know, the mission of the agency is to promote the wellbeing and the Economic Security<\/a> of San Francisco<\/a> residents. Given the late meeting start time, we were asked to condense our comments so im going to present just a few of the slides i prepared and primarily spend my time highlighting two initiatives of our Workforce Development<\/a> division, one is jobs now and the other is a group of homeless Employment Services<\/a> contracts that we administer. Let me go ahead and see if i can share my screen with you so you can see these slides. Are those visible to you now . Yes. Okay, great. So jobs now is really the centerpiece of h. S. A. s Workforce Development<\/a> programing. It is actually an umbrella in which there are multiple sub programs that are designed to meet the needs of job seekers at Different Levels<\/a> of job readiness. Depending on their needs and their interest, Program Participants<\/a> may receive job readiness training, Vocational Training<\/a>, career coaching, subsidized Work Experience<\/a>, and whole range of employment support such as fast passes for transportation for work, subsidized child care, vouchers for professional clothing, and link damage to a whole array of support services such as Legal Services<\/a> and Behavioral Health<\/a> support. The clients who are served through jobs now are primarily public aid recipients enrolled in the programs, all of whom are low income by definition. Many, but not all of our clients have multiple barriers to employment, including low educational attainment, limited english proficiency, housing instability, Behavioral Health<\/a> issues or criminal background. I called out on this slide that nearly 9,000 of the participants have identified as homeless. Thats a data snapshot from last month. Thats about 14 of those case loads. Its worth noting that any of those Homeless Individuals<\/a> are able to avail themselves of the full array of jobs now services. Many of our jobs now particip t participants are mandated to participate in a Work Activity<\/a> but many voluntarily opt into our Employment Services<\/a>. Im going to skip through some of the more in the weeds details. On this slide, were just highlighting so you can get a sense of the scale and the outcomes of the jobs now program. In the current fiscal year we placed about 572 individuals into subsidized and unsubsidized employment through jobs now. That was compared to 778 placements last fiscal year due to the fact that the shelterinplace disrupted our Service Delivery<\/a> these past three months. In addition to the placement through the jobs now program, we had 2,700 or so placement through our contract services. Those placements are primarily transitional Work Experience<\/a> and not meant to necessarily be ongoing employment for the Program Participants<\/a>. Okay, so i said a moment ago that all Homeless Individuals<\/a> are able to take advantage of jobs now. In addition to jobs now, they do admitster four contracts with Community Based<\/a> providers. Theyre intended to serve formerly Homeless Individuals<\/a>, as well as sheltering Homeless Individuals<\/a>. These providers are offering Vocational Training<\/a> programs, they have a goal of job placement within 6 to 8 months. Across these four programs we fund about 400 training spots annually, although i will note that the actual numbers served has been closer to half that over the last 2 fiscal years. So enrollment has not been quite what we had targeted, but i will say that to the extent that participants are enrolled in these Training Programs<\/a>, the outcome in terms of training completion and subsequent job placement is quite good. This final slide here expands on comments that mr. Bruso made. This is from the california Workforce Development<\/a> board. This is a 150,000 grant to be spent down over 18 months. The grant was submitted jointly by the Human Services<\/a> agency, h. S. A. , and in collaboration with Community Providers<\/a> working with homeless clients. The goal is to design a Service Model<\/a> into the entry system, which is the front door to Homeless Services<\/a> and to create a pathway to culturally competent employment for job seekers. This is a new effort, but one that i think is exciting and offers the opportunity for city departments and Community Providers<\/a> to come together and think creatively about ways we can break silos between our homeless Delivery System<\/a> and our workforce system. Im happy to expand if you have questions. Thank you very much. Colleagues, any questions or comments . You know, i think im going to save my questions. I do have some questions, but i think im going to save them ms. Simmons until after we hear from josh and kent from the office of economic Workforce Development<\/a>. Thank you very much. Thank you chair fewer, supervisors, im joshua, in the economic Workforce Development<\/a>. Im the director of the exno, maamic workforce director and i want to thank you for this conversation and for all the great work of advocates, as well as the v. L. A. Team, mr. Bruso has really helped us learn a lot about our own system and have really great conversations and we appreciate the recommendations and the direction from the board going forward. Chair fewer, are the slides available here . Yes, we can see them. Thank you. Thank you, and i know were going to work quickly through our presentation. Im going to go very briefly and again thank you to the work of advocates to work to hold us accountable and always seeking to do more for these particularly Vulnerable Community<\/a> members. The conversation about the vulnerable populations is the sin synthesis of many sources, the core menu and values of our department director, mayor breed and the board of supervisors. Our plan to ensure Economic Vitality<\/a> success for all san franciscans, the consolidated plan, and block grant surrounding homeless households and Homeless Population<\/a>s, and is referenced by the b. L. A. , our five year plan to really break the cycle of poverty for all San Francisco<\/a> residents, priority populations listed. So that is a lot of different priorities. I think for us what we do is make sure this is a workforce system aligned around serving almost entirely disadvantaged San Francisco<\/a>en san francis o franciscoens. The board of supervisors, the vulnerable population led by supervisor fewer is a perfect example of where you felt at the direction and feedback of advocates that we needed to put Additional Resources<\/a> to serve Homeless Community<\/a> members and Public Housing<\/a> residents. So we think there are some great ideas around workforce alignment and advocates, policymakers around some of the recommendations and the b. L. A. Audit. This is just a snapshot of the workforce system. Its 50 different Community Based<\/a> organizations in neighborhoods across the city and county serving a specific set of core focus areas of what we do with the workforce, job readiness, the Grant Program<\/a> for young adults, focusing on getting ready to go to work, and presector academies, which are industries which we focus on creating opportunities for good paying jobs, particularly partnerships with organized labor. Job centers, which are city wide, Employment Resource Centers<\/a> in neighborhoods of need, a city wide job center operated by goodwill, Neighborhood Job<\/a> centers, specialized job centers for disadvantaged san franciscans and young adults have these job centers to access jobs and access to the sector academy. City build, construction, the take a step academy for the i. T. Industry opportunities, hospitality initiatives and healthcare academy. I want to highlight the work of four organizations in particular who are really doing work thats really focused on serving that particularly vulnerable population were talking about today, homeless san franciscans, formally homeless san franciscans, these organizations listed in some of the great work they done over the years, most recently were highlighting in fiscal year 18 and 19. The tenderloin job center and the job Readiness Services<\/a> program. They also are partnering with homeless prenatal to expand their program around Community Health<\/a> workers, Community Health<\/a>, and compass Health Services<\/a> and the episcopal hospitality. They identify where were focusing on serving homeless san franciscans and those seeking to exit homelessness. Other great partners we also highlight here that have increasingly part of the partnership here, tenderloin is an example where we provided resources for the work they do to bring Homeless Individuals<\/a> and formally incarcerated Homeless Individuals<\/a> into the i. T. And other sectors. Im going to breeze through this. This is how we collect the data around homelessness. We track it through the neighborhood of residence. This is the zip code of our most recent. This is how it turns into the report through the workforce Alignment Committee<\/a>, chaired by myself and human rights commissioner. Then we take that information, this is the definition of homelessness we use, which is in partnership with the definition of homelessness Supportive Housing<\/a> department and then we report out homelessness not in the 12 categories that the b. L. A. Correctly identified. We report it out separately by neighborhood and as an element of top ten zip codes where workforce clients are at. We report it in the table here. We like the recommendations we did get from the b. L. A. With respect to adding that item to the list of 12, the challenges he had mentioned is that we dont get data around homeless and formally homeless communities served in the departments we work with because were continuing to evolve the way we collect and report and share information. Last slide here, the picture you see here is of central City Hospitality<\/a> house and we highlighted this picture here. This is where a critical conversation happened between Human Service<\/a> agency, our office, the homeless and Supportive Housing<\/a>, the department, meeting with the homeless collaborative. I thought this was the next in the series of ongoing meetings. Joe wilson said this was the start of an important conversation of going to the next level and critical moment happened right before shelterinplace and the covid pantoja pandemic and that we really look forward to formalizing again, particularly with this grant that ms. Simmons referenced. This is our ability to coordinate, utilize, funding for vulnerable populations, coordinating our care, really putting together the best practices. Aligning has eluded to how were doing better and knowing if were doing better or not through the data we collect. Its having a system that meets homeless job seekers where were at. We know an economic intervention is what it takes. We also know under the Housing First<\/a> strategy, we want to get folks in to shelter, get a roof over ones head so we can look at a job readiness intervention, a General Services<\/a> intervention and workforce intervention and lets get the opportunity to go to work right away out the gate. This is work that we thank you for, and we want to thank jan in our office who prepared this information for us to share. Thank you for your leadership and were here to answer questions. Thank you. So colleagues, i think im going to have our next presenter and then you can ask questions. I think this will give us a fuller picture. I think we have a presentation now from the homeless employment collaborative, mr. Wilson. Thank you madam chair. Can you hear me . Yes, we can. So, can you bring up the powerpoint please . Yes. Madam clerk, you have a copy of his powerpoint . Yes, maam. Thank you very much. I definitely want to acknowledge the members of the committee for calling this. Its a very important discussion to have. We titled our presentation covid19, reimaging homeless workforce as a new deal for San Francisco<\/a>. Next slide please. Ill try to summarize as we go along. I think today what we heard in multiple ways is really about reimaging what Community Investment<\/a> can mean and really investing in our Community Building<\/a> infrastructure across the city and particularly focusing on those working class communities that have been hardest hit by covid19. Next please. I think the conversation about how we engage the broadest possible set of stakeholders to bring all of our energy and expertise to bear on transformative economic renewal is kind of the crux of our discussion here both investments in housing, investments in under served communities, recognizing that the covid19 crisis, this Public Health<\/a> pandemic has come up against the existing pandemic of poverty and racism and in both directions, both the Public Health<\/a> crisis have been exacerbated by the existing conditions and the existing conditions have been furthered deepened by this Public Health<\/a> crisis. Next slide please. So maybe just summarizing here quickly, i think as we make some hard choices about budget investments and budget priorities, you know, we need to avoid the tendency towards os osarty and prioritize prosperity. We need to invest more in the communities that suffered more and start making some harder choices, particularly starting with the broad rubric of Public Safety<\/a> and Law Enforcement<\/a> about where those resources can be better spent and better prioritized as we invest not only in our workforce system, but our economic renewal across the board, in communities across the city. As we really explore this and get deeper into it, i think at least one of several points that has to be made is that we need to we can no longer be satisfied in investing in job Training Programs<\/a> or job training efforts that train folks for industries and sectors we know going in are not going to be paying them sufficient wages to support themselves or their families and are the most vulnerable during an economic downturn, which is exactly where we are right now. We end up paying far more because were settling for so much less. The last point, absolutely the overlay of racial inequality and economic inequality has to be our starting point for all of our investments and pushing our business and employment sector. They have to step up now, to reenvision whats possible in our city as we build our way out of this crisis. Next slide please. Maybe i can launch into a comedy routine as were waiting for yeah. No. Thank you very much. Well, i can say that there are several pillars to look at where we can focus some of our initial efforts. One is the need to really focus on removing barriers to employment, particularly for under served populations like homeless job seekers and i want to applaud the b. L. A. s analysis and definitely express gratitude for the Budget Committee<\/a> for directing the study to be conducted, looking at investments that have to be made in removing barriers for folks, to employment and to career advancement. Retooling our job training approach so that we are lifting up and investing in earned and learned models paid job training, paid apprenticeship, like this existing partnership between hospitality house and homeless prenatal programs, identifying those efforts within our Human Services<\/a> field. Then particularly prioritizing investments in those communities that have been hardest hit by the crisis. These are undocumented, black and brown communities, folks wi with challenges around language access. They all need to be part of retooling our Workforce Development<\/a> system. I would be remised if i didnt point out that of the 17 departments that were listed, having some sort of footprint in surveying homeless job seekers, noticeably absent from that list was the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing<\/a>. We need to do something about making that obvious connection between workforce, employment, and housing. By all accounts, all of the information we have point us in that direction. We can no longer claim ignorance about the obvious connection between economic stability and housing stability. Next slide please. I assume were moving, i cant tell. Ill just keep talking until you shut me up. I think that some practical next steps for the board. A number of us in this discussion have been at this for a number of years. I think one of the glaring weaknesses to our Workforce Development<\/a> system citywide is the marginal role that the board has played in directing the activities and the investments of our Workforce Development<\/a> system. We can no longer be satisfied with that. The board has to get more engaged, more involved as the Peoples Branch<\/a> of government and making sure these investments are made, that the data is collected, and that its tracked, that someone can compel compliance in some way. If were not tracking the information, were not reporting the information. Its extremely difficult to tell whats happening with the funds that are allocated, so i think that is the boards major responsibility to make sure that is happening. I think there are some concrete steps that can be taken in amending the administrative code 30 section regarding the composition of the alignment, making sure that the Community Partners<\/a> are formally represented on that body, so they can influence policy decisions that are made about our Workforce Development<\/a> investments. I think the workforce Investment Board<\/a> framework does not serve localities well in that the composition is prescribed at the federal level, limiting the engagement and the involvement of Community Partners<\/a>, the voices of people who are benefitting or not from our Workforce Development<\/a> investments. We need to do something about that. We can create some parallel structures and empower them to influence priority decisions and Priority Investments<\/a> before they happen. To do that, the board has to be actively engaged in that and i think thats another opportunity for amending the code that prescribes the level of involvement by the board in terms of the delineation between Fiscal Authority<\/a> of the workforce Investment Board<\/a> and i think thats where we need to be now. So, to sum up, i think that the workforce accelerator proposal is a good test case for the level of seriousness that were taking this, both at the Department Level<\/a> and Community Partners<\/a> like the homeless workforce collaborative. I think were well suited now to take a leap forward in our Bold Thinking<\/a> that will be necessary as we build our way out of this crisis. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Okay, so we heard a lot. Any comments or questions from my colleagues . Seeing none, first lets take some Public Comments<\/a> because these poor people have been waiting to comment. Madam clerk, can you please call Public Comment<\/a> on item number two. Operation is checking to see if there are any callers on the queue. Operations, please let us know if there are callers that are already. If you havent done so, press star 3 to be added to the queue. For those on hold, please wait until the system indicates that you have been unmuted. Operator, please let us know if there is anyone wanting to comment. Sure, first caller. My name is francisco. I have been involved in the Workforce Development<\/a> from 1988. What i see here is that if you do not have the right facts, what i call critical data, you can talk the talk, but you cannot walk the walk. Its important to note that all of us have to have your heart in the right place. Some of you [inaudible] over 12. 7, 12. 8 billion and when it comes to the real workforce, they have nothing to show. So, any supervisor can ask what are we doing for the homeless . Before that, you have to ask what are we doing for the citizens of San Francisco<\/a> . Before the pantojdemic, we had Homeless Population<\/a> of 12,000. Now we have a Homeless Population<\/a> of over 30,000. You do not have the empirical data. We have people starving, people who are not getting whatever the federal government said they would give them and what are the people of San Francisco<\/a> doing . Kicking the can down the street. Now, i told you in my Opening Statement<\/a> i have been monitoring workforce since 1988. We are now in the 2020. We are not asking career jobs, not with the city and not with the industry. Some of you know me. I want to talk to yall facetoface. Dont be beating around the bush. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments, next speaker please. Okay, thank you very much. Francisco here from San Francisco<\/a> day labor program. I have another member of the program that will speak first. His name is eduardo. Do you have an interpreter from spanish to english please . Madam clerk, do we have an interpreter available . Yes, i am here. All right, mr. Eduardo garcia will address everyone and then i will go after him. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] hello, i am part of a collective of day lay laborers. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] given the lack of work of people in power i ask the following. [speaking spanis [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] first, i would like to request new spaces to be open for day laborers and for their tasks. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] for example, day laborers can be used for the maintenance, painting, gardening, and upkeep of all the buildings that belong to the city. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] and for the day laborers who are female, who work as housekeepers, they can be employed in cleaning these buildings and also with taking care of the ill. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] and all of this would be serving all the protocols and framework that is in place to prevent the spread of covid19. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] another opportunity for someday laborers would be the vast promotion of [speaking spanish] he means outreach work. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] okay, its basically to have better promotion or outreach regarding information for covid19 and to also promote testing in the laborer community. The speakers time has expired. [speaking spanish] thank you for your comment. Next speaker please. Hi, can you hear me . Yes. Hi, can you hear me . Yes, we can hear you. Great, im the chief of strategy for street services. Thank you supervisors and for your presentations and joe thanks for talking on behalf of the workforce collaborative. I like to talk a little bit about a critical gap we see in terms of coordination and alignment, and programs for youths experiencing homelessness. I think we can see in the reports that they are identified as a priority population but we dont see them ourselves or young people at the table for the planning strategy that needs to go into that effective funding streams for these populations. Youth programs for those who are housed dont work for youths experiencing homelessness. The three years, of the program this year we finally turned down the contract extension that was offered because the prescribed model was just so poorly aligned with what people need and it was administrative burdensome for our staff. In other words, they turned down almost 400,000 in funding because it was ineffective for our population. So this is just a really tragic example of things that happen to young people themselves and giving the opportunity to take part in the planning and System Design<\/a> that is supposed to serve them. I really urge folks to really think hard about how many people are being treated in program and design and planning. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next caller please. Hello caller . Oh, im sorry. Im the Deputy Director<\/a> from the homeless prenatal program. Were a member of the homeless workforce collaborative as well. We offer two different Workforce Development<\/a> Training Programs<\/a>. The first is a Job Readiness Program<\/a>, a Brand New Partnership<\/a> with hospitality house funded by oewd and was referred to earlier. Its been a real learning experience for us to collaborate and try to reach out to this new population that is not traditionally served by the current Workforce Development<\/a> models for a number of reasons, whether its incorporating child care or understanding the needs of families that are housing insecure or experiencing homelessness while trying to raise their children. The Second Program<\/a> that we offer is the Community Health<\/a> worker program, which josh mentioned earlier. Our program is almost 30 years old. It has 95 retention rate for participants over this 30 year period. We had just recently become certified by the department of labor as an apprenticeship program. This program does not receive any local dollars from the city and county of San Francisco<\/a>. Its all privately funded. The reason i raised this program in particular is because it is focussed on the on the job training component with a fair wage and partnership with city college where the participants are also earning college credit. These programs tend to be more expensive and require tailored services to meet the needs of the population. Our cohort is eight individuals and its a 16month program. So i just really want to raise awareness around the fact that the city may not be use to working with small tailored programs, but that really is the way for us to be able to the speakers time has expired. Thank you for your comment. Next caller please. Good afternoon supervisors. Im the policy director at compass family services. Were a member of the workforce collaborative. I want to thank everyone for that presentation. I want to lift up the theme of transformative economic renewal. Workforce development has to be linked to housing and income support in order for it to work. In order for the equity work we need to do as part of the response to this pandemic and widespread racism, in order for that to work we need to incorporate and lift up the voices of people with lived experiences, and that goes directly to the point that they made about youth boys and the voice of impacted populations in program System Design<\/a>. Our economic recovery as a community depends on this so heavily. Going into the pandemic, more than one in four Homeless People<\/a> cited loss of a job as a reason for homelessness and two third attributed the loss of housing to the primary thing standing in the way of them exiting homelessness. We dont have a full picture of the effects of the pandemic, but across agencies like compass, our family incomes have come down by an average of 500 a month for families, which is a significant share of their prior income and statistics indicate that whereas 95 of families reported being employed prior to the pandemic, 50 are reporting a total loss of income. So it is absolutely critical from an equity perspective, an economic recovery perspective, of the kind of city we want to see to deepen investments, to promote the speakers time is up. Thank you for your comments. Next caller please. Good afternoon. My name is ruth, im the Division Director<\/a> at larkin. As my colleague spoke about, we had seen some of the gaps. The primary point i want to get across is adult Workforce Program<\/a>s dont work for our young people. Progra programs for house people dont work for Homeless Population<\/a>s. Youths experiencing homelessness require a new target Workforce Program<\/a> that are embedded and connected to wrap around services, such as Case Management<\/a>. This has been proven to ensure positive outcomes. Its imperative that youth providers must be deeply engaged in the planning and strategic workforce system, especially for our youths in the city of San Francisco<\/a>. Thank you so much. Thank you for your comment, next caller. Yes, thanks. If you would bear with us and not cut us off. Weve been waiting for 3. 5 hours here. Eduardo will finish in spanish. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] so labor day laborers and Domestic Workers<\/a> can provide lots of experience in providing guidance for serving covid19 protocols and in this way participate in programs with the city. [speaking spanish] [voice of translator] so in essence were asking the City Government<\/a> to open its doors for us and to let day laborers and Domestic Workers<\/a> to be a part of the economic recoup ration that the city is carrying out and be able to take some of these jobs that we are trying to create here. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comments. Next caller please. Madam chair, that complete it is queue. Thank you very much. Public comment is now closed and item number two, colleagues, any comments or questions . If not, i have a few. You know, i think this is im hearing the report through the department, i actually i think one of the main things that comes to mind is that you dont have a real picture around the impact of all these programs that we offer to homeless, to people who are unhoused. I think that we dont have correct accounting of people we are not collecting the same information on the same sort of grid. We are also not actually im hearing about participants, im hearing people that you serve, i am not hearing so much about the impact of the programs that we have and its sustainability. I think really it is about a citywide, what is our core belief system about people who are unemployed and people who are unhoused. Do we believe theyre employable and do we believe that if we create a pathway to sustainability, they actually can complete that pathway and be self sustainable in this society . So, what i see is a chart with participants and also i think this would be helpful to have all this information by race. Also, by gender. I do think that is an issue. I think race and gender is an issue. When we talk about try to dissect about communities, were trying to bring interworkforce. So we have Workforce Development<\/a> programs that joe wilson said which is super important is that this connection to workforce to housing, to a stainable model. Actually what is missing also is the department of homelessness. It is sort of crazy that the department is not listed as one in the Workforce Development<\/a>. Its worth it to get someone into a shelter. It is another thing to say to somebody look, we can get you into recovery. We can get you into permanent Supportive Housing<\/a>, but we can also get you into a job and help you subsidize your housing for so many years when we get people on a pathway. I am also concerned about are we looking at any way. Now i know this has gone on forever and i know its going to be 6 00, so i have to wrap this up. I think connect that we have around our efforts and then to impact. So we have increasingly homeless folks. Not everyone who is homeless can go directly into a Job Training Program<\/a> and also into sustainable employment or i am even wondering if the jobs we getting them into sustainable, what is the average wage we place people into these jobs, what is the average length of stay that these people stay employed . Are we tracking that . Are we tracking what are the issues for prolonged employment and promotional level . Who are hiring these people as a whole . Are they nonprofit . Are we getting them into Civil Service<\/a> jobs . Are we getting them into jobs that are protected by Union Protection<\/a> to give them basic healthcare and all those other protections that we know people need to actually live their lives. So i kind of think this is information were getting and i think its fascinating. I didnt know we had that many programs city wide. I actually, from hearing everything, i feel like there is a great disconnect amongst all these different programs and what were trying to do. I feel as though there isnt a ewe unifying belief or pathway around a certain segment of our Homeless Population<\/a>. Clearly there are some that need Mental Health<\/a> services, and yet we have people who recently lost jobs. So what i didnt hear in this presentation is where is the discussion about give me the numbers of people who want a job, who want to get back into the workforce and what are they seeking and what are the barriers for them . I think we can do things like job training, we can do all these things, but really what are the jobs that were placing them in . Are they jobs actually that are staying in and is there a pathway to promotion . Are we putting them in jobs that are just for 60 days or 90 days, just for them to get experience or are we really creating a pathway for these people . You know, i dont think we can actually blame, put the whole blame on us at the city of San Francisco<\/a>. The one thing i was shocked about was that everyone is talking about employment, but we have all these businesses at the table and not one of them said i will set aside ten jobs a year for these people. Like come on. It cant just be our Nonprofit Sector<\/a> that says we will hire these people. It has to be the private sector that pitches in too. I think that when we talk about services, and im wondering even with the services through h. S. A. , how many of the recipients are getting subsidies or help, but not really on a pathway or really interested in job placement. I just wonder if i just dont think that we can solve the problem of homelessness, which is we have had for decades here in San Francisco<\/a> and it has compounded even now if we dont start actually thinking about a pathway that includes linking housing with jobs, with sustainability, with selfsufficiency. I think that it looks as if were working in silos in certain departments. The fact that our homeless is not one of the departments, it is a little disturbing and i think its a big disconnect. I think we are losing out on an opportunity here. So when i speak to her, she says im trying to get 1,000 beds or people in these beds, its not just about beds. I think what we need to invest in is that we need to invest in people. We need to invest in the ability of people actually and lets just face it. Some people, their life circumstances are much harder than others. I feel that we need people, and we elevate them to what they can be. I think it comes down to a city and county point of view of how what is the fundamental belief of people unhoused . Do we believe they can be employed . Do we believe they can be self sustainable . And what do they need to get there . Sorry to break into your speech here. Its all right. Stop me, thanks. I think youre absolutely right. I also feel that the discussion is not just about homelessness. At some point, if they dont get the training they need, they will be homeless. If were going to do this, then it has to be broader than just when people reach the bottom. How do we prevent people from getting there is really the question for me. Its always something that i put a lot of energy into. Where is the prevention . It seems also that the disconnect between h. S. A. , what is it, the homeless h. S. H. And with the job employment pieces, its not just that. We heard a lot of presentations about which departments are doing what. I dont want to criticize, but certainly were not doing this. There should be a regular meeting of all these different departments that are doing training and to see how well they can coordinate and are they duplicating their efforts . If they are training at the lowest level of skills that you need, then where is the mixed level of training as you were saying supervisor fewer to get them promoted and so forth. Maybe what we need is to have we tried to do this with children, with our families. We try to coordinate all this stuff and maybe theres this call for all these departments to come together and figure out a plan as youre asking for. Whether we should ask the mayor to support Something Like<\/a> this, it could be the employment i mean the training to employment summit that we need to have so we can have a better picture in terms of having really a holistic picture of what were trying to do with our efforts. I totally agree with you chair. Yes, thank you. I see supervisor ronen in the queue. Sorry, yes. I wasnt going to chime in but of course when you guys talk and i agree with you, i feel like i need to chime in. I just wonder if we have to face as a city that this experiment of creating the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing<\/a> didnt work. Prior to this, the services were in h. S. A. And d. P. H. The whole reason for creating a department was to coordinate all these aspects, but what i i spent a lot of my time focusing on Behavioral Health<\/a> and d. P. H. And homelessness. Literally the department of homelessness would say thats not my responsibility, its d. P. H. They would say its not our responsibility, its the department of homelessness. To hear this conversation, to say there is this disconnect between a vision on how we deal with Peoples Health<\/a> needs, Job Development<\/a> needs, and employment needs, housing needs, in a connected way. Its just so disconnected. Im not sure having created this separate agency, which was supposed to bring it together is how it works. When i talk to people outside the city who are experts in homelessness and these issues, they say its more frustrating because now you have to talk to three different agencies instead of two. None of the agencies talk to each other. None of them know. Each of them have separate policies, and it just seems to be a problem that we as a board and maybe as a Budget Department<\/a> if were having this massive hole that we need to fill, that we need to look at. So anyway, i didnt mean to prolong this meeting, but i just had to chime in with agreement for both chair fewer and president yee. Yeah, its not to say i mean even in the way that we collect our data as in the labor report. What does it tell us . I also think that its not that people arent working hard at it, it is just that were kind of just spinning our wheels a little bit. The impact, what were getting from, what all the efforts and money and resource were putting to it, we are not getting the impact that i think we could be getting. I think that it is and i just think that yeah, a workforce System Design<\/a> and its kind of like that. I think its encompassing every part of what a human may need to be successful if they are finding themselves almost out of a job, how we can prevent it, what is the safety net there, if they had been homeless, if they had been chronically homeless. These are Different Levels<\/a> of need and i think we have different strategies. I am sorry this is going on so long because i feel like i have to shut up right now. Actually, this is the kind of thing i feel like i could talk for hours on because it is more than frustrating i think that everyone is working super hard. People in your departments are working hard. I think it is not connecting. Something is not gelling. I think it is about the planning and it is about the design, and it is about us having so much work to do that were working in silos. I just dont know. I think this is the start of the conversation. I want to thank you for being here so late. I know you were supposed to present at 1 00 and now its almost 6 00. I want to thank everyone for their hard work. Is there anyone else with any other comments about this . I think this is a topic actually that i like to continue to call because this is a topic we started a conversation here and with the report from oewd and h. S. A. And the collaborative, i think that we should take some time to look at all these things together and maybe have another work session or bring this back, perhaps so we can have a deeper conversation so were not in a rush. Okay, thank you. I second that. [laughter] roll call vote please. Madam chair, i just wanted to let you know that mr. Joshua raised his hand and he would like to make a quick comment. I am so sorry. Please. I think im the one whos sorry. You were about to close the meeting. I wanted to say thank you for the feedback. You should know that since you ended your service to the workforce Investment Board<\/a>, supervisor walton has really picked up right where you left all that great work, along with supervisor mandelman. Thank you for pushing us to do better in those roles. I know supervisor walton has been working with us and moving that forward to reestablish. I wanted to say one last thing to the point of, we can always do better. H. S. H. Is at the table. I want to let people know they are in conversations and they are helping us think this through. To the point of the data, two amazing organizations, larson street youth services, new door ventures, they are funded through our offices, Young Adult Service<\/a> providers, serving a predominantly Homeless Population<\/a>. How do we count those data . Are they serving Homeless Youth<\/a> . Larkin street funded and supported 60 mostly homeless young adults and they already serve 90 got placed in jobs before covid did. They met their annual goal of the year, nine months into the years. These are great organizations, day labor programs doing amazing work. Just count on us to do better and to take all this information. We are taking this rapid pace all the way through. Thank you for everything on behalf of the department. I want to say to the department too thank you for everything you do for our most vulnerable population. Thank you very much. Motion on the table. I seconded it and now we need a roll call vote. Correct. Walton aye. Supervisor mandelman . President yee. Aye. Supervisor ronen. Aye. Chair fewer. Aye. Supervisor mandelman is absent. Is there any further Business Today<\/a> . There is no more business. Were adjourned. Thanks everyone. Thanks for such a long day. Thank you.
