Please know that you have three minutes. Spanish translator please. [speaking in spanish] thank you so much. Cantonese interpreter please. [speaking in cantonese] thank you so much. I will take the first caller. You have 3 minutes. Caller good morning, everyone. I was a proponent for Prop C and to thank the Controllers Office for providing a link to the comprehensive budget, but of course, people dont care about how money has been allocated in the budget. They care about how the money is actually being spent. And especially now with the Delta Surge that puts hotels in a situation where they are closing down as people unfortunately in some cases through the street and the congregate settings that are eligible for permanent and four men that i encountered a month ago that None Drink or show drugs but have all been chronically homeless for a decade or more. They have been asking for Housing And Assistance and for four weeks i have been working with them and they are encamped in front of a nonprofit to do construction on the building and the c. E. O. Of that nonprofit has been in contact to help the men. Prop c was designed to be unlocked and help chronically homeless people who suffer from intelligence. One has a bipolar diagnosis. Two have schizophrenia. And the fourth has ptsd to connect them to right, appropriate assistance to them to get a Mode Cum of attraction with all the resources at our dinger tip. I will plead we go ahead and get some transparency about how the money is being spent. People want to see a dashboard of sleep sites and the dashboard that has been taken down by the city in june and we lack clarity to how people are exiting outside of us talking to people one on one on the street and that is not acceptable. Thank you, all, for your hard work in allocating these resources to create real solutions with the accountability to have the dollars and where sit going. I appreciate your time. Thanks so much. Thank you, caller. Next caller. Hello, caller. You have three minutes. An i am wesley saber and i am the Policy Manager for glide. Glide was one of the original cosponsors of Prop C. And i will reserve the majority of my comments for later update, but the previous Caller Couldnt have said it better. Covid19 is making a resurgence and poor Air Quality days and the Dixie Fire has been a problem identified as a vehicle for spreading the viruses and we dont know where people are going or what options are. We are seeing all sorts of people at glide stores and throughout the outreach asking for Housing Linkage and not getting the level that we would expect with the majority of what i have for later and this was a Peoples Initiative and how the resources are being aligned for folks who need them and this body was incorporated to Prop C to insure homeless needs were centered. You have done a tremendous job of doing that as you compile the recommendations. We ask you continue to do so and really keep pressing the city for that level of transparency that we need as we provide our Service Linkage and tlifry. Awe thank you, caller. To create in the community and we need a Community Dashboard and we need to trace the through line to services and outcomes from the way the dollars are allocated with specific atngs across systems. We need to pay attention to the hotel exits and where folks are going. With how older adults are accessing Shelter And Housing and pay attention to the youthened a family systems. And you also need to tie the process of administering and creating transparency around housing and how the dollars are being administered to the sort of the process of coordinating entry. And now we are resources and infuse the resources into the with the through line from the dollars to more equity and coordinated Entry And Resource accessibility and the people, youth, and family to get access to shelt arenaed housing. Item 3 is approval with possible modification of the minutes of the july 20, 21 meeting. We have a motion to approve the minutes and a second. Move to approve. Thank you. Do we need a second . I think she is seconding but is muted. I see her. So i will second it and story about that. No worry. Great. Thank you. I wanted to note that Member Miller has joined, for the record. And take the agenda public comment at this point. And members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 4156550001 and 187 3320 o 94 and then Pound And Pound again. If you havent done so, a System Prompt will indicate you have raised your hand. And you may begin your comments. Note that you have three minutes. Spanish interpreter please. Thank you. Cantonese interpreter please. [interpreter speaking] thank you. There are no callers. I will call roll. [roll call on item 2] [roll call on item 3] so the motion has passed. Okay. Now we are on the Item Number 4, which is finalized our city our home appropriations and next steps with discussion and possible action by the committee. We are going to start off with Member Friedenbach to summarize this. I am supposed to spend about five minutes on this and more big picture things than the nittygritty. And which is awesome and i started to try to Color Code it and go in the Document And Controller Spread Sheet. And lets see if the Share Tray is working. And the Excel Documents and great. And with everybody can see that . And what is possible. So lets try this. And starting off with the adult section. And basically we had a Strategy And Acquisition of acquiring basically having operating subsidies for more than what we are requiring with the hope that we would be able to leverage state and federal funds. And as the moved its way through the Process And Rumor goes to the Mayors Office first and then the board of supervisors. So in the Mayors Office basically the department and the mayor wanted to shift money from our original proposal that were in flex pool and move them over to acquisition. Aside from that, encan, please jump in if you disagree with what i am saying. I think that for the most part the permanent Housing Liaison was happy. And so there was a huge thing around the bridge helping. And the Mayors Office took that out and it was added back in by the board of supervisors in year two and whether this fits into permanent housing and this new thing and the other changes that happen are more substantive and we have a more generous per Person Subsidy Amount for the with the same amount of none. And those are the flex subsidies in there. And so so to move to prevention unless there is any questions or comments here. And prevention is complicated and thank you so much. So this was really this has the same zoom effect. That snaps back. Is to what happened in the Mayors Proposal is basically all of these to combine twoo one pot and families and adults and justice involved and etc. , etc. , and Work Force and all that stuff got combined. And so there was several layers of Back And Forth with that during the budget negotiations to try and break it back out. And we didnt get it back to the original format, but i think really got relatively close in that you can see adults, veterans and justice involved are in one category. This is our breakout of how we did it originally. And then weve got the break out for families so i was hearing a lot from families that we wouldnt that they would get swal slowed up and the department agreed to do that and that was great. So and families with minor children in one category and transitional Age Youth in one category. With the subsidies and stuff like that so the Work Force dollars are kind of in the category. So the families and children and the Work Force so pause if there is any comments on this one. To highlight the services and stabilization. That is grow nine. To design together with the city around what the system of care can look like. With the supportive of the Providers Network and d. P. H. And h. S. H. And ihss and i would like the committee to check this process a little bit. It was our expectation to honor the work being done in the apartment and check with the outcome of what that is. Ultimately we might need to look at another set of allocations or a part of this allocation to fund some of the Cpo Work if in the System Design we figure out that there is a piece of the network that is really important to the system of care that is not addressed by the original proposal. Thanks for bringing that up. That in that theme of i think throughout the Recommendation And Kind of thinking about when i kind of reflect back on the project process, that was one of the points of institution was the institutional response versus a Comment Response to a lot of the issues that we are seeing. That is a great segue to with where we landed with legal defense . The coswalk. This is the prevention section. I am happy to clarify whats in the it is not in there. So would you like me to clarify what happened with that one . There was on original proposal for a problem in the Prevention Bucket within the system and the problem solving category with the Line Item for legal aid for advocacy for ssi and disability. And then somewhere earlier in the process before the budget went to the board that was put into just year two only. And that was in the version you voted on and originally in your queue only at 3. 5 million and went to the Board Process through some of the negotiations there from the problem solving category in the that wasnt appropriated in the budget and is not in the crosswalk here. That is through the process at the board. Rationales are rationales and generally speaking from a fiscal perspective when time you put more expenditures in year two, you try not to because you are unsure of the funding and it is interesting that it found itself in year two in the first go around and only set it up for basically and just call it for failure for year one. That is what are my own options and in the section of the budget here in the original proposal that came to the committee around that. So it was a onetime onetime funded dollar area. And whichever year it actually got started in. So the sort of balance between the onetime carry forward from prior years versus the unknowing estimate of what we will have each year in that bucket and a little bit a little blurry in the way it will effect whats captured. But the way the Spread Sheet is organized right now is trying to show a little bit about whats being funded by onetime dollars versus what is funded by ongoing dollars. And so that you can make those type of choices in your future recommendations as well to know what there is in the coming year. That was a good catch. In my review of stuff, i missed that. Thats something that we really want to keep in our sites for next years funding. It was a lot and it had not only did we have a group of dedicated Service Provider who is provide legal aid and that is not lowhanging fruit as a service for all of us as we all know. With what he we heard in our listening sessions and goes straight to health care, Housing And Access to resources. True dollar. An i want to highlight that is definitely a very disappointing loss here. I think it was a very solid proposal. It had been vetted with departments in advance which is why it went on year two. They said these are great investments and we are doing work around this but we need a little bit of planning. So this idea that we are using planning as a way to be smart about our investments but then it seems like in the effort to plan its been a community ask to sort of get buried in process. So i think the other thing that i dont want to harp on the Spread Sheets, but i think for any time that we vote in the future, we need to be looking at the actual text of what we vote on. We need to red line it it holds true the actual text. Because it takes a tremendous amount of work to reconcile these sheets, but we have not seen the actual sheet that we voted on on those days. And on those days when we voted, we couldnt even see them. And they werent put up on the zoom. It is a good lesson for us to be disciplined about the language of our votes and to go back and check. This particular Line Item was a huge loss to the community. After it left us, who was holding that importance of really tracking that . And honoring the fact that the committee and came forward with something that was different from what was brought forward. They were thoughtful, disciplined, organized and largely dissolved into a pot that reflected where the city came to us originally. So i think this is an area where as we got a little bit more clear as a community and as a committee and worked together that we might have more success in bringing more integrated proposals. Thank you for highlighting that. I am really disappointed to hear and sorry to all the people in the community that have been on the calls. They have been participating in the listening sessions. It was a strong proposal with a lot of great outcome. I am hoping to focus on that in the next year. This never came up in the Budget Process and late there with the board of Supervisor Staff going through all this stuff because this was in the Mayors Proposal. I know from my perspective i was pushing to have the original recommendations in and i didnt realize that the board took something out. Can i say something . I am having technical Difficulties Today finding the hand raise thing, but julia, i appreciate you bringing that up. As you talk about it, i realize you have these kind of Spread Sheets and the original one and the other one and are working fulltime jobs and overwhelmed with paper work, but we have a Staff Member and i think we should use our resources who also had a fulltime job to support us. And so maybe one of the things or ways that we can use our Staff Member appropriately is to direct her to maybe look and see to highlight any differences and read these things carefully to flag when there is a Difference Or Something is left out. That is how this happens. It is difficult to read all this to compare it and everything else. That is why we have a Staff Member. Maybe if we can provide clearer direction to her about these things so that we dont miss in that way again and we can fulfill our duties as a body to the public. I dont know how to make that into something official other than next time this happens, we think to say, okay, jessica, can you look t a these . I dont know if we can do that moving forward. So i dont want this to happen again. I can see that it would if we dont have some kind of mechanism in place to prevent it. Thank, lena. That is super helpful and maybe as we go through the Budget Process and make the next recommendations, i think the main problem to me and i spent many, many hours doing all the comparisons and i was trying to go back through and do it again. And i ran out of time. But what is the to stick to the original Spread Sheet. If we had our original Spread Sheet and to see what the change is, that would be helpful. Jessica attempted to move us back to that here. I am going to move to Mental Health if that is okay. Mental health was very interesting. So we had recommendations that we made and some of them included shaving some categories and adding other areas that was basically around trying to shift from too much reliance on institutional response to more of a Community Response and having a balance there and having the permanent solutions and not just the temporary solutions. There was kind of some themes that i was like that came through here. And then, of course, a huge diversity of different interventions and our Liaison Brett andrews did an amazing job on this. And so basically sorry to interrupt you. And can you share again . Basically with the recommendations we shaved some of the stuff from the department recommendations. And then added other things. What the mayor did basically is restore the original recommendations but keep most of our recommendations. When it got to the board of supervisors with the exception of the behavioral health services and shelters and dropin centers, and the board of supervisors added that back in. The other huge difference in the Mayors Proposal was basically this addition of a lot of millions in acquisitions. And those were lets see where that is. So that those are kind of the major changes in this program. In this investment plan. We had the mayor added back in an additional crisis outreach team. Added funding into the overdose and the street medicine. And of that Overdose Prevention teams, some of these actually compared to a lot of the other categories have already started. So the Overdose Team started and the street Crises Team is going. The Site Acquisition and this was a huge increase here. And publicly we dont want to leave money on the table. I think we were wanting to be a little bit more conservative on our expenditures and be able to see how things are working. But that is what happened there. So any questions or comments about Mental Health . We have those added back in and next, laura will intro a Budget Infographic for us to take a look at. Thank you, jenny. This is what will be called proof of concept. I wanted to give you a bit of an overview. Clearly needs to be refined. This is to speak to your Committees Role as doing oversight of the fund. He wanted to start crafting a tool and a Dashboard Tool that you can use to understand in particular what some of the public commenters earlier in the meeting were saying about how is the money being spent. We dont have a lot of the spend information yet. But we do have the Budget Information and starting to craft the tool that allows us to do budget versus actuals and monitor the spending in the category of service that you recommended. It stays small. Sorry. It will stay small. And it does review the overall investments by year and in this Color Coding and is the fiscal year for when the different funds are appropriated in fiscal year 21, 22 or 23. And it shows the different categories of the fund and then were calling this activity. So these are the second level down activities that you funded. That includes acquisition of adult housing and that includes acquisition of treatment beds, family housing acquisition, etc. And just giving you a sense of the different kind of categories and how they kind of play together in terms of the amount of funds used. That is the list of all the categories. And that should generally align and maybe not with each specific Line Item, but when Theres Coup lines of acquisition, we rolled them up. And it should kind of reflect most of those Spread Sheets that we just looked in to the entire Spread Sheet and the Line Items and rolled up and the category level. And a page for each of the service areas. And each of the buckets of the fund. And its pretty much the same information. And just allowing to drill a little more into those specific categories. And one to refine based on feedback about what feels like the right way to frame this and categorize things and understand the information. And then, two, once we start working on the process to kind of receive actuals and so as the money is being spent quarterly updates from the departments and to spend on the categories for show. And to know whether those whether the rate of the spend is on track. And whether we are getting into the contract and pull the dollars out the door. With the doors and a brief overview and know where to get it and understand how to navigate in it. And with the investments passed by the board. These are the appropriations by the board. Thank you so much. Are there questions or comments in and there are ways to represent the data and a lot of that or and intuitive and we are in San Francisco and the tech and there should be ways where people with click on intuitively and see how what is being fed and for acquisitions and we spend it on and hear the money going and all that kind of stuff. If we remove thatened a make things super clear and super transparent. Also instills more confidence in the public. And that is what i heard you say that you are on that path. That is what i heard you say. Anyway, ill be quiet now. I think you get the point. Thanks. Thank you so much, Member Miller. That is definitely something we want to address. And easily navigable website. And i know that in the past Code Tenderloin had also assist with any tech means and that is a great opportunity for Leadership Development as well. And they have a lot of folks willing to do stuff for us. Member friedenbach . Thank you so much. And this is one of the things that we did have a fair amount of transparency with the hotels and the city put down the dashboard. And to see what is going on and the city is starting to close down. The diva is reopening the supportive housing and two more hotels that will be closing in august with the transparency and moving into housing and back to the streets and back to shelter. And and the overall tracking and not just dollars expended but and so we kind of have the human side to it and that would be really nice. Thank you. Thank you. I agree with that. And wondering if i would love to make that motion actually. That is a great idea. And to move to a more accessible and that is one of the words they am looking for and organization. And so that work is already in progress. And i think laura did mention in hers and that i think the sip Hotel Dashboard is likely coming back for us. Sorry. I didnt mention that. And i mentioned that we were working on the Number And Sort of services and the work that jessica is doing on the Needs Analysis to get at how the money is being spent and the services that are being that the inventory and what is being added to the system and all that information. B and we will come back with the more ak excessive platform and i see emily is on camera. And by all means support your taking whatever action you feel is appropriate and do know this is underway. Well, if its happening, i guess i dont really need to make a motion unless people feel compelled. And that will be here. And i guess i would like to know if there is a date to expect it to be back up. And thank you so much. Member miller . And to bring in some kind of more commercial people who, because, look, and with a lot of scrutiny and people have a lot of questions and are always looking for something. It can not be set up the same way as the governmental website are set up and a hard to navigate and not intuitive. We need to have numbers and information and data that is clear and user friendly as possible. Otherwise you know we constantly meaning us as the Board And Hsh is under scrutiny about where the that is easy and if we are going to be innovative, this is a Lotover Money to invest in an outstanding website and there are Website Developer who is do it free or cheap just to even get their name out there. And the work out there. And in something that is going to get this many viewers. I just am saying that i dont want to look like any other dashboard and is not designed well. To that is about story telling and about bringing it back to the movement and telling all the stories about all the collected impacts that people are doing to make this this with a lot of looking into other communities and how they tell their stories, particularly l. A. After they got the big expenditure. And resources and it is not something that one staffer and i know is just super dedicated to this as well. But have really encouraged ways here and then the other pieces i am wondering where wereed a with our Investment And Action plan that we adopted because its in there that we start to lay out the process that well get to through System Modelling and everything and really to set goals and marking progress to goals. And so not just here is the number of dollars spent and hue are we going to tell the story of progress. And to track and with the category of and a lot of community members who are going to go look dont know that means transitional Youth Housing or thy and if we use acronyms or language that is very industry specific that we define those things and how sort of a legend so it is more tangible for community members to go receive that information. And i do agree with making the website and hiring the graphic designers and to make it more tangible for folks in the community. And once we get to the to make it more legible for folks. And are there any other questions and comments on this item before we move on . Now Kelly Kirk Patrick from dph will be presenting on contract and timeline for making services and beds available. Good morning, everyone. My name is kelly kirkpatrick. I am now the department of public health supporting implementation of Mental Health sf and Prop C. Some of you may know with the prior role in the budget with the city and excited to leverage that experience on the important endeavor with all of you. Dph is underway with the budget funds approved through the Budget Process as you are well aware, i am impressed with the Budget Knowledge and comp i will T Kay and you know complicated and know it well. It is new positions and Dph Staffing as well as contracted services obviously. So i am going to i have been asked to present kind of on our preface and updates on the Contracting Portion of the budget to date. And the department is working hard to strike the balance of following fair Contracting Processes while also deploying funding as quickly as possible to serve residents in need. My few slides will briefly cover funds where contracts have been successfully deployed to date and the process by which dph has Contract Feasibility for remaining programs as well as the overview of Contracting Information resources for dph generally. At this time dph successfully completed or is in near completion for contracts for the following Prop C funded programs. Scrt and the street response team. And the behave clinicians and are funded contractually and the with the rez enial and the care and Mental Health fund, Mental Health beds are expanded by 20 beds with the addition of a new facility. And finally Soma Rise as the drug sobering center and with Drug Intoxication at the 20bed facility slated to open later this year. Next slide. The remaining contract funds and contracts are feasible and appropriate and new solicitations will be acquired. In some cases we can add funding to expand services for existing service models or provideers. Examples include the Overdose Treatment and outreach and existing residential Care And Treatment bed types to add new capacity and it is a service that we may be funding already. For some other programs, we are creating new program models as you are well aware. The Program Design is still underway for some of those. Once that design is complete, then well determine the beth Contracting Path forward. These will take longer to implement but benefit as well from the holistic Input And Scoping processes to meet Community Need and list some examples of the new programs where theyre being scoped in contracting will follow including the tay Mental Health and coordination. Next slide please, jesse. Dph will draw upon a variety of resources to shape and inform Service Design for the services including utilizing existing needs assessments like our bed optimization Report And Service demand data. We are working with program staff, clinical experts and community providers to form the service models and in alignment with department aligned Effort And Equity and inclusion and working with the Dph Health offers to weave the principles throughout the process as best as we can. Thank you, with the time frame for funding to undergo the Solicitation Process is four to six months for a new solicitation and approximately two to four months for the Contract Development and the Back And Forth between the contractor and the department. Additional time may be required as well if a new vendor needs to be become a city approved vendor for the first time. Now the next slide. My final one. And here are a couple of links so you and the organizations you work with can get plugged into the contracting announcements for dph. I have both the first is the website where the dph posts new solicitations if second is a form where you can submit your organizations names to get notified proactively for appropriate solicitation. And then finally is a link to the city wide office of Contract Administration List of solicitations as well. With that, i am happy to answer questions. I am not sure in how you would like to facilitate this with the next couple of conversations were having with you and hsh. Great. Thank you so much. Do we have any questions . Any members have any questions or comments . About this presentation . Congrats on the new gig, kelly. And this is great that were already making progress on many of these expenditures. That is really nice to see. Looking forward to the work. Im sorry, Vice Chair, i wanted to say, kelly, good to see you. You are deepening your skills across city departments and city hall. I love it. And nice you are on board and we get to work together again. A great presentation. And i just want you all to know as the behavioral Health Liaison that i stay in pretty regular Contact And Conversation with dph. And with the Behavior Health Services Division to do just what has been done right now is to be as available and as transparent and as in real time information to be shared with the communities as quickly as possible because we know how significant the issues are. And in San Francisco and certainly in behavioral health. Again, kelly, welcome aboard. Good to see you. Thank you. Thank you so much, kelly. And no other questions, we will move on an i do. Sorry. I was late to raise my little hand here. No worries. Member leadbetter. I want to welcome kelly. Great job. Moving forward, it would be nice to keep an eye on how Dph And Hsh are Work Ordering and particularly to leverage the use of medicaldollars and help the Community And Layering in the resources. So thank you so much. In another two or three minutes to get it out and go to the contracts to april and may. If anybody has a sense of how this syncs with the pit stopses that are there and xmillion of dollars into the what they are not doing is sitting obmoney that was going out the door. Does that question make sense . Do you get what i am going at on that . That is a so not all programs will be under this sixmonth long timeline for a program that is newly designing and with the rfp to align, too, and if we can get vendors and preapproved by the city to also move the process along faster. And then the third kind of piece that kind of answers this as well is were working with the Controllers Office as Jesse And Laura mentioned earlier to work on reporting of budget first actuals throughout the fiscal year to help understand if there will be unspent funds. Thank you. No more questions. I guess we will move on to a presentation from jesse, our wonderful Staff Member, who is going to present on Stakeholder And Engagement contracting and timeline. Did we lose you . I am just chattering away off mute. I am going to stay off camera while i am sharing my screen to not overload my signal here. But the Controllers Office has issued a request for quotes using the prequalified issue for Data Collection Work that were anticipating in the next 18 to 24 months. This is in no small part because of the committees sort of direction toward both getting started with the Stakeholder Engagement as soon as possible and also the value and prioritizing of making sure that people who participate can be compensated. That is not something the Controllers Office can do directly. We need a contractor to support the committee to be done as soon as possible. The rfq was issued in august. I can provide a copy of it to the committee. It was deeply informed by the Committees Input and the compensation for participation to invite proposals that have methodologies or ways of collecting Stakeholder Input beyond that. I know that is something the Vice Chair has brought up several times and we made sure that got in there. The committee can direct the work so generating questions, themes for explanations, and exploration through this committee and possibly a working group or similar. Really requiring contractors to obtain diverse Stakeholder Input that is representative of the homeless population and the ocoh service population, right . So race, ethnicity, household composition, language, gender, age, geography, all those things and probably a few more as well. And then a preference for contractors who hire people with lived expertise into the research team. And trying to create a preference for contractor who is will create opportunities for people to participate and contribute in a professional capacity. Responses and rating will take place in september. We are exploring we are exploring whether or not at least one person from the committee can participate in that process and i will report back as soon as we hear on that. The Contractor Selection and negotiation wills take place in september and october. And so were aiming to launch the first phase of Stakeholder Engagement in november. Thats whats been happening. I think im there. Great. Thank you so much. Thank you for this presentation. Do we have any questions or comments from members . One thing thats come up in what we have been kind of with the open feedback and asking around if folks are interested in applying to those. And like the lived experience, mayors speech, has come up quite a few times the question of whether the members get compensated. And i guess on the with the other cities and is this set that had occurred. And i was thinking that maybe to be included. The Meeting Compensation and for folks with lived experience of public experience on the oversight fund. I think its written into the ordinance that this is a volunteer. I could be wrong on that. I can look that up. And do some discovery work. I know yes. I know this is very important value. It is in the ordinance that this is the uncompensated role. In the board ordinance. So we would want to change that first. That is helpful. Thank you. Thank you so much, Member Friedenbach. Do we have any other questions or comments from members of the committee . See if there is any hands raised. Sorry. One comment is we are happy to see other ways of participating other than focus groups and i wanted to shout out outreach and directly in the community as being one of those forms that i would like to see. Any other questions or comments . If not, we will move on to the next item. Hi, cilia. Its julie. And going up and down. Im sorry. It is not you. It is me. Every time i check i dont see. Lets see. So this is super exciting also to see this taking off. And with the moment and getting a chance to regroup after our big push for allocations and all that work. I am feeling the desire to have the chance to come back together with the committee and get regrounded and the liaison structure, the Systems Modelling, we lost our systems models and data expert. And just really talk it through. We have never got a chance. We put this assistance modelling out there and committed to it. We said we were going to do it. We said the lived Experience Work would be the fundamental and the Stakeholder Engagement component of it, but i dont think we really have gotten a chance as a committee to talk about what is systems models. What is the expectation . What can a needs assessment look like . How does the community impact and the Accountability Work bring with that, as well as conversations with the communications work. So i am feeling like it would be a great time to retreat a little bit and not retreat a little bit, but to have a retreat. Even if its just a couple of hours. I know everyone has limited time. And when we dont have a packed agenda to talk about what we learn and if we are committed to this Systems Modelling, what that looks like. And the structured and Building Work with the engagement process. With the lived experience every way of gathering input and really developing leadership. I am excited that we started having conversations under Julias Leadership with the national homeless and looking at their models of Leadership Development and having a couple of meetings set up with jessie. I think it would be a great time before we kick this off that the committee all understands what systems models is, what it is going to get us, what resources were going to commit to it if the city is on board with partnerships, maybe working with Hsh And Cynthia in the planning. And i would love to see if the committee members are open and interested to retreat on this. Thank you so much, member leadbetter. I am definitely supportive of that. I just a couple of things and for me as the community impact ree liaison, i would like to delve in more and you have a lot of experience around how to engage people with lived experience. And what how to encourage leadership and build leadership in that. And nice to have Joyce Alpine come back because she never got to finish her presentation on Systems Modelling to give us more context. And like you said, not having a packed agenda with the items that go hand in hand. I am supportive of the retreat. Can i i would also like to support member leadbetters suggestion. I think its important that we really understand what a leader San Francisco is. Really trying to find innovative ways to reduce to eliminate homelessness again. I get calls from all over the country. I am shocked from major cities about how far San Francisco is ahead of the backed and a lot of that is so many different models and significant fund and it is not about this little city that we are in. It is also the whole country is looking at us. And following our lead. To look at this in the thoughtful way and Systems Modelling and absolutely making sure people with lived experience are part of the conversation and not just the usual suspects. Being in this work especially in safe sleep villages and vtc and where people are really less engaged in the system is very eye opening. The things i heard a lot of folks are saying sheltered experiencing homelessness need. And it is a little different than what they are saying. And if you dont have the folks involved in the conversation and hearing what is going on on the ground. And we are not working with the true what is really happening. The reality is what caught up to yet and things have changed. Homelessness is not the same and different going on on the treats now. I would be happy in the safe sleep sites and other folks who have not with a group of elite folks who are experiencing homelessness or have that lived experience who have been part of the advocates, you know, and theres other people who have definitely not. So i think its important to get everybodys voices with a very, very clear picture of the pictures and how we need to structure the system to support people who are experiencing homelessness because if we dont, then were never going to catch up to it. You know . But i think we got a shot. Im going to say again because i think it is extremely important to recognize at the height of Covid And Shelter in place, San Francisco was able to drop its numbers of tents on the streets by about 8 o at least in the tenderloin while every other county went up by over 100 . So i think were doing outstanding work. We need to be as thoughtful, as transparent, and as inclusive as possible because, like i said, we are leading the way for the whole country. [please stand by. Force Emily Cohen from h. S. H. On h. S. H. Contracting and timelines for making services and beds available for inhouse folks. Good morning, committee members. I know that my colleague, Dan Adams, is also on the line. And he has an exciting presentation. I know he has a limit on time, so im willing to swap time with dan, if that is agreeable to the committee. Chairwoman agreed. Thank you so much for being willing to do that. Of course. Chairwoman i guess well take Dan Adams from the Mayors Office to talk about the housing acquisitions. Thank you. Im going to apologize just give me a second. Ill work on getting you up and advancing it. Chairwoman while he does that, is there a way to turn up your volume a little bit because it is a little hard to hear you on our end. Is that better . Let me see what i can do. Chairwoman we can hear you, but it is a little muted. Maybe sit closer to the computer, dan. Okay, ill do that. Let me see here. Ill just use my best baritone here, and hope my neighbors dont explain. Anyway, super excited to be back with you all. I was here at the last meeting, and im here again. I hope you dont get sick of me, but im very happy to continue to provide updates. Today i wanted to let you know about some proposed acquisitions. These are properties that weve been negotiating with property owners for some time. We plan to introduce these acquisitions at the Board Hearing that follows recess, but these are still potential acquisitions. We are conducting a Community Outreach Process now and engaging the stake the stakeholders, and were excited about this cohort of properties and wanted to give you guys a preview of it. Next slide. Great. The next two slides show, again, that were working as part of the recipient housing work, health and recovery, Bond Acquisition dollars. And we plan to leverage state dollars, and were trying to move this marketplace. Next slide. And these we talked about last time. Were trying to find properties that are in good condition, accommodating the diversity needs. Geographic equity is super important. And just really trying to find Diversity Opportunity out there in the marketplace. Next slide. So we have a cohort of full properties that we are moving together. Again, we intend to introduce Acquisitions Approval for the acquisitions at the board of supervisors september 7th. And we heard some that will move through the process. But these four properties total 368 total units in district 5, 6, 9 and 11ment and it includes an s. R. O. , a tourist hotel, and a multifamily residential building. Next slide. The first is the cannon hotel, 1800 center street. It is in really good condition. Folks are living there now successfully. It is a very strong location, and, and a motivated seller, which is always a critical piece when youre acquiring a property. Somebody has got to want to sell that property. So were excited about this. It is our first sip hotel. Panoramic, this is another really exciting opportunity. This is virtually a brand new building that was completed in 2015. As somebody who toured a lot of very old properties, it can be almost intoxicating to walk into a property that is really brand new. It has all private baths. All kitchens or kitchenettes. It is 160 units, and thats 120 studios and it has 43 bedrooms. Theyre really suites. They have three bedrooms and a Cooking Area and common area. Interesting, brilliant corners through the subsidy has been placing residents in this building. So there is already a population that is being served. And an eligible population that we hope to continue to serve postacquisition. Next slide. The hotel, a 160 Unit Brand new build, recently renovated. It is super clean. They did a great job. All private baths. We would intend to convert the Ground Floor to communityserving, residentserving space postacquisition. A really exciting building, great neighborhood, great transit, and an exciting acquisition for us. And, finally, the fourth property is the next slide, which is the Mission Inn in district 11. So hard to find properties outside of the core of the city. Were excited about this. Not only is a great location, it is a very generouslysized site for the city to own or control over time. All private baths. Some already have kitchenettes installed, so there is a mix. It is a lovely Ownership Entity that were working with there. Again, an exciting acquisition for us. Im really pleased with this initial cohort. Next slide. As i mentioned, these are proposed acquisitions. We are doing community outreach. Emily and her team are really leading the charge on this. We have upcoming community meetings. We would love your participation in these meetings and support as we move through the process. I should mention were simultaneously working on an rf2 for providers selection, and well be posting that and providing information on that at a future date. But these are our scheduled community meetings that well be introducing at the board. It will go through the Board Process. We anticipate posing on financing for these properties for the end of the year, so november, december well be finalizing these purchases, and i will leave it there. And i have four minutes for questions. Thank you. Chairwoman thank you so much, dan. This is so exciting. What a great presentation. This is literally, like, what Prop C is for. Im almost emotional because it is so exciting. I see Member Friedenbach has some comments or questions. [yelling] thats all im saying. Saying. Awesome now im going to get emotional. Yeah, this is beautiful. Really awesome great. I love hearing that. As we move through the process, well want to hear that out in public, too. I love hearing it in this phase. And, of course, i know you all are staunch advocates for this work and will be out in force, but it will really help us as we move through the process to hear those voices of support and affirmation. I really appreciate it. Chairwoman any other questions or comments . Member reggio . I just want to say the same. Im very excited about by this. I wanted to see it move fast, but surprised it is moving this fast maybe not surprised because youre doing it, dan, but it is just great to see this. I think the properties look incredible, both by the diversity of type of property, but also by the fact that youve been able to get them in various parts of the city. And, of course, i know done is not quite the word yet, were not there. But thank you so much. And keep it going. Yes, we will. This is the first of many. You will see me again. Thank you. Chairwoman i just want to say thank you, and its also very, very exciting. I know getting that is a real challenge, so please let the committee know how we can help with the funding and supporting what the community really wants to see. Great point and a great reminder, so thank you. All right, enjoy the rest of your meeting, then. Thank you, dan. Youve made everyones day. Well, youve made mine. Thanks so much. Take care. Chairwoman i just want to go back to emily from h. S. H. Take it away. Thank you. Good morning, committee members. Thank you for letting dan go ahead. We were so excited to share this news. It is a perfect segue to talk about contacting from h. S. H. , since dan referenced the r. F. Q. Well be issuing. If we can go to the next slide. I want to convey what a top priority it is for h. S. H. Is to develop the programming and implementation of these historic investments that the committee has made in so many exciting programs to prevent homelessness. We are already deploying some of the ocoh dollars, and some other dollars will take more time to expand and scale up to reach full capacity. We do have authorization through an Emergency Ordinance that allows us to do somewhat expedited Provider Selection and Contracting Process, and we will use that where appropriate to deploy these resources. Our traditional Contracting Process can take up to six months, or at least six months, excuse me, but our emergency provisions do allow us to reduce that time to two to three months. Similar to what h. S. Said and kelly had to say, where appropriate, we will extend existing extend or modify existing contracts to spend some of these resources efficiently. An example of that is the navigation centers or some of the items within the Shelter And Hygiene bucket would likely allow for a modification of an existing contract. Next slide. So sometimes things that are already deployed it is really exciting to see these dollars already in action. Certainly the new adult permanent supportive housing that opened up in the Diva And Grenato hotels, the four hotels we just talked about, and we already releasing an r. F. Q. For operation at the end of this month. The Target Homelessness Prevention work that is already under way, 10 million to make d. D. E. And h. S. H. And four new providers in the last physical year sorry, i misspoke. Four new providers will be awarded funds. The eviction and prevngs funds [inaudible] that is in the process of bee deployed. And the problemsolving rental assistance dollars this is the category for housing deployment. Existing funds already in operation or about to be is the 30 standard tax that is in the process of being implemented, and will be implemented in september with a retroactive date, and it will be reduced 30 if theyre a current tenant paying more. We have deployed 300 subsidies out, and then the next one is coming out this fall as well, as well as were in contract now on some of the pay subsidies. And then in terms of the workforce services, we did work order 1. 2 million over to o. E. W. C. From last fiscal year to serve adults. As we look ahead, we have a lot of work to do around Program Design for new services funded through Prop C. This process will be informed by the ocoh news settlement, and other city departments and community stakeholders. We look forward to continuing to provide you all updates as we move through this process. And, lastly, i wanted to make sure folks know where to access information. We have a Procurement Section on our website, where we post new all funding opportunities, as well as a form. They can get a Courtesy Notification when new funding opportunities are made available. And i will stop there. Im happy to take any questions. Chairwoman great. Thank you so much, emily. Do any members of the committee have any questions or comments on the presentation . Member friedenbach . Where is the December Allocation of the nonsip hotels . We did the subsidies targeting africanamericans and the subsidies targeting families. Where are those at . Theyre in the process, but i can get an updated time for you. We would love to see the timeline move with some urgency. I can get back to you, through the Controllers Office, for an update on that. Yeah. Because there are a few people who are not in the sip hotels, so, yeah. Chairwoman great. I see member Ledbetters Hand is raised as well . No. Sorry. Chairwoman all right. Any other questions or comments from the committee . I guess i had a sort of a Comment Question for, like, future presentations. If we could have it broken down a little more granular to see who is going to receive the funds or how many people will be served using those funds. It will be helpful for those who are not following this on a daytoday basis. If i may harken back to Dans Presentation Chairwoman yeah, please. I will be leave the Community Engagement processes for h. S. H. As we move forward with these really exciting acquisitions. And dan had a quick slide about the community meetings, but i wanted to extend a formal invitation for you all to attend any of those four upcoming meetings. I can make sure you get fliers, as well, so you can make them available to your communities, organizations, or whoever you pick. Chairwoman thats great. I think we really appreciate that, and if there is a way to i know that more than four members can attend, so if we can have a way to coordinate that, we can see what members will attend. I will double check, but i do think if there is a public event and more than four members happen to be there, that is allowable. I will double, double, triple check that before we all get in big trouble. Chairwoman okay, great. Thank you so much, jesse. That is true when it is not related to the work of the committee. But when it does relate to the work of the committee, you need to be aware of that attendance. And since this is using committee funds to buy something, it does feel that you want to be aware of that membership at those meetings. So we can coordinate centrally. Well get out the dates, and if people can get us know, let jesse know, if you want to attend, and well make sure no one gets left out if there needs to be some shuffling. Chairwoman great. Thank you. Member miller, i did see your hand was raised. Did you have a Question Or Comment on this item . Yes. I would just like to know how we could be helpful. Do you anticipate that there is being kind of nimbeism at these meetings . What can we do to help . Ive had some initial conversations with community members, and it has been overwhelming positively received in most instances. I think we will, of course, have questions and concerns that come up from the community without a doubt, but i think well also have a lot of positivity around the acquisitions as well. And, you know, well talk to the community about them, well answer questions and concerns. And then theyll go before the board of supervisors, and certainly the Board Understanding that the committee is supportive of these properties, and that these acquisitions will be helpful as it moves through that process, the budget and finance, and then to the full board. So, again, these are proposals. It is not a done deal. We have several steps to go. But you guys are obviously a key stakeholder in all of this work, so i wanted to keep you posted. Chairwoman great. Thank you so much. Fingers crossed. Okay. See no other, like, comments or questions on these items, i think well take is to public comment, and then we can take a vote after public comment. Clerk members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 4156550001, i. D. 1873320094. Then pound and then pound again. If you havent already done so, please dial 3 to line up to speak. Please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted and you may begin your comment. Please note that you have three minutes. Spanish interpreter, please. [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish] chairwoman great. Thank you. Cantonese interpreter, please. [speaking cantonese] chairwoman thank you. There are no public comments, so we go ahead and take the roll for the vote, Vice Chair. Thank you. Chairwoman oh, i do see a caller. Give me one second. Hello, caller . Caller yeah, thank you, committee members, for this review of the budget. Wesley saver calling on behalf of glide and the homeless workforce collaborative and the homeless Service Providers association. It is really encouraging i know this was discussed much earlier in the conversation that there is finally progress being made. It is clear from his hearing that the committee has really listened to the repeated calls from the public and understand the need for transparency. Thank you. Im looking forward to see how it shapes up, but keep that up. Thanks so much. It is also really essential just to underscore weve got this uptodate information concerning how the money is being utilized, but something that the members have touched on earlier is is the Work Force development. The way that some of the funds through the Budget Process got lumped together, and it is not just strictly tied to the Workforce Development funds, but a clear Delin Delineation of how theyre going to be dispersed and teased out from the lump sums would be useful. And to touch on the Hotel Acquisition Piece it is great news. We were just encourage the city to do more. Early in the pandemic, the state released Project Homekey funds, and the city was smartly able to purchase to buildings for permanent housing. That was fantastic. This program is a successful model because the costs are lower per unit, and individuals are able to take advantage of this housing almost immediately, neither of which is a guarantee when considering new crossexamination. So, please, for the city, we need to continue to acquire more hotels for permanent housing, that is the most costeffective and efficient as we push to fight against homelessness. Great. Thank you. Hello, caller . This is Mary Kate Buckalo from external affairs and policy. I wanted to underscore Member Friedenbachs comments first i want to back up. There is so much good news and updates communicated on this call from the dashboard to the acquisitions and for the contracting updates, too, as well. Its wonderful to see, and thank you to everybody who put so much Work And Thoughtfulness into hearing the community and taking, you know moving it forward in an actionable way. I wanted to underscore Member Friedenbachs comments over the flexible Housing Subsidy that was approved in the boards spending plan last october. Family providers would love to meet with h. S. H. And see what the plan is for rolling that money out. It will be a really essential way of diversifying housing options for families because right now a lot of highneeds families are being referred to rapid rehousing as a onesizefitsall, and we need intervention. Were looking forward to getting that money out the door. Finally, i wanted to make a clarification on the mobile Therapy Funding that was a Prop C allocation in the behavioral health, that is actually an h. S. H. Contract for mobile therapy. So i just wanted to make that clarification. It is about 218,000, and it is supposed to fund two clinicians who can roam and support where kids are experiencing a lot of trauma symptoms. So that is actually h. S. H. Dollars. I just wanted to make that clarification. Thanks very much. Great. Thank you. There are no additional callers. Chairwoman great. Thank you so much. Thank you to all of our callers. And thank you, mary, for assisting us. Just as a matter of time, we will you can submit the items that get on for the september meeting. Before we adjourn, the chair actually asked me to dedicate todays meeting to janice merikatoni. Yes. Im just going to call roll for the vote. Chairwoman yes. Thank you. Please. [roll call taken] the motion has passed. Chairwoman great. Thanks. So well get out some invites and see what works for folks schedules. Sorry, just in the name of time, i just want to respect the wishes, and i think it was a great request of the chair to dedicate todays meeting to janice, who passed away recently. She was a San Francisco laureate. She was a fierce advocate for people experiencing homelessness. And glide was a powerful proponent of Prop C. So thank you to janice for all that you have done for our city, for our community, and for san franciscans and our people. So thank you so much. If anybody had any words they wanted to share, we can have a little moment of silence for janice. So thank you. Great. Thank you so much. And i guess we can move to adjourn at this point. All move to adjourn . I think i need a second. Ill second. Great. Ill take roll. [roll call taken] great. The meeting has been adjourned at 11 33 00 a. M. Chairwoman we did it, guys. It.
