I have buffer a resolution authorize hsh to enter in the Second Amendment to an upon Grant Agreement with hamilton families to continue the Housing Solution Rapid Rehousing Program and a reminder rapid rehousing is a time limited rental that decreases as the tenant stabilizes and finds housing outside the system. The items that have been before you the last few weeks rapid rehousing tenants live in private market and access Supportive Service including Case Management and housing retention service. This amendment was heard and, proved by the Homelessness Oversight Commission on april 4 of 24 and today i want to thank cloaks from hamilton families for joining me here. The resolution would approve the Second Amendment extending the term by 6 years from june 2024 through 2030 and increase the not to exceed amount by 12 opinion 3 amount for a total of 21. 9 million. And a bit about our rapid rehousing portfolio. Hsh has over 1700 slots of respectid rehouse nothing our portfolio. 900 serve families. Through this agreement provides rehousing for 35 families and Services Including housing location and cordination. Landlord liaison, Subsidy Administration and housing focused Case Management. In year 23 hamilton served 66 house holds. 61 women and 27 black and through the Housing Solutions Rapid Rehousing Program hamilton budgeted serve 75 familiesanualy. There are 35 the subsidies through this agreement. The remaining it a separate agreement fund through hud funding. The agreement buffer today funds Case Management and support for about this agreements begin federal funding is restricted rental assistance. Happy to take questions. Thank you. Good morning, nick from the bla. Item one a resolution approved an amendment to the hsh grant with hamilton families extend its through june 2030 and not to exceed increase. We detailed the budget on page 4 of our report. Eightyfour is funded by the general fundful 9 by hud. Emergency Solutions Grant funding and 6 by prop c. We reviewed the performance of the grant and noted that the program is performing within the requirements of the contract accept this there has been significant under pending on the guarantee in the past several years. That totalled over 940 thousand dollars the past 3 fiscal years. This year this grant will be under fund by 2 and 500 thousand dollars. Thats less than the under spending of prior years and recommend approval of item one. Thank you. Thank you. I do have just a quick questions about the federal grants subsidies. Roughly how much for the federal grant subsidies . For the agreement i would have to look that up im happy to thenned over for the total Grant Agreement. That would be great. Help me understand in proportion with in the city funding. Establishing, helping 75 families, which is great per year. I appreciate it and continue the support. But in rit i dont how much will that type of this time service the city on going in prosecute portion to the federal guarantee for subsidies and that gives us an understanding if we were to ever scale up would this mean allow the city to scale up for rental subsidies to that we could respect from the federal government . Absolutely. I dont have the total in front of me i can get this for you. I will say that the estimate annual cost for family is about 40 thousand dollars a year, which is in line with other rapid rehousing subsidies. To your question, because we are funding restrictions with federal funding that do emphasize the rental assistance instead of support services if we were to ramp up more slots of subsidies we would look at adding additional Case Management and support services to the city funds to support an expansion. Yea. Thats what im saying. You know in the ratio of if we were to invest 2 Million Dollars. In the Case Management for 75 families per year and how much of the federal rental subsidies the families could receive if it is 40 thousand dollars per year that is substate your name. That is great. I think this if we were to scale up and that our investments that means that help support families to be able to receive federal rental subsidies in the longhaul. I appreciate that work. Talk from the departments perspect you have about under spend when that has been going on there . Absolutely. Throughout chair i think as you heard from the bla we have been making press on spending down the contract there is projected under spends nothing general fund this is large low due to in early of 23 and fiscal 23 24, we had a learning influx come online of other permanent Supportive Housing options for families including 200 units at city gardens the large expansion of flexible housing, et cetera. We were able to transition 19 to 20 families enrolled and that need longer term subsidies in the options. At the beginning of the year we had a gap in subsidies as we were w to enroll more families in this program. So again we are catching up on this spending and i assume that the program is enrolled we see that continue to be spent down in future years. All right. Thank you. I think this is important and i would like to be add as a cosponsor. Thank you. Supervisor melgar. Thank you very much. I was wondering if you could talk about the continuum of housing. You know families who are homeless or housing insecure. Come from different points of the event rows in the system. And wondering what collaboration you ramp out your week up your capacity, what collaboration do we have with those different points . I am thinking about the San Francisco unified school district, we have the shelter but we have 2 thousand kids who are housing insecure or homeless. Sloping on aunties couch that has a profound impact on academic achievement. How we are thinking about the different ways andent row point and making sure that you know families are successful and dont fall further down rather than progress up in this Housing Market families tends to do. And like to be added as a cosponsor. Thank you. Why wonderful. Thank you very much. One thing that is important about the respectid rehouse is it provides another level of options and opportunity for families. For those family nas may be not stablely housed but inside shelter is in the the right option but this program that is for the time limited subsidy with Workforce Development and help that family stabilize and move to independent living is the goal. This played an important per in our per foal i dont of family options for families. With sfusd we can work close low with them to make sure they know how to refer families in the programs and how to have them be assessed for whatever appropriate housing option might be available for them. Thank you. Lets go to Public Comment. We invite public who have joined us who wish to speak on item one now is your opportunity to address the committee. I will start your time. Thank you for giving us the opportunity will im frank delacampo the real estate manager for hamilton families. And so i over seat team the intake team and staff that do work on the front end of the clients journey through our program. I wanted share a success store and paint a narrative of the out come we find through our program at hamilton families. So, one common things we find. Our Department Works with the Case Management team. And so as we on the front end a rapid process of getting families houses quickly as possible. One family that sticks out this past year was the family that came in single parent, 3 small children. And came in to our program with quite a bit of distrust of the system in general they encountered in the past. Through the work with our program and case managers on hand with the Workforce Development team in house we noticed such a steady increase in terms of stability and longterm sustain ability and their ability to get back on a good footing secure childcare for children and gone back to Training Opportunity for finding employment and about 23 months ago case manager reported this one example, which is one of dozens and you know a lot of families that come through was able to secure full time. Am. We are on the right path in terms of planning. Because our program is short term and understand that the goal is within the 2 years in the program what we get them to transition off of our program and stay housed and prevent them from coming become to the system. That is one of men stories our team works through and the partnerships of the landlords we work with. Why thank you. Thank you. If we have members of the public who wish to address the committee . That completes the queue Public Comment is closed. And with this i like to move this item to full board with recommendation and i roll call y. On this motion to forward this to the full board with positive recommendation. Vice chair mandelman. Aye. Member melgar. Aye chair chan. Aye. Thank you. The motion passes. Call item 2.

And im joined today by my colleagues from conard house. I wanted take a brief moment before going in details thank mr. Americanard and their work and for the work on the high volume of items we had coming in and we appreciate your partnershipful thank you. Okay. This resolution approve the second am amendment extend the term of the agreement by 24 months through june 30 of 2026 and add about for you. 5 million for a total not to exceed of 13 million. Again, with the hsh entire portfolio of permanent spicht housing we have over 9, 800 units of site based Supportive Housing. Which is per of over all portfolio of over 13,000 housing slots. Conard house provide Property Management. Support services and stewardship at the hotel since 2004 the mc calster holing served 84 formerly homeless adulted in 22 similar celebrity 23 the house served 90 households. 41 of which were over the age of 55. 20 were lbgtq and 26 were black. Showing the drafks of matching the need on the streets and homelessness across the city. With that happy to take questions on this, thank you. Item 2 a resolution approving an amendment to the department of homelessness and spicht housing agreement with conard house this extends the agreement by 2 years through june of 26 and increases not to exceed amount 12. 8 Million Dollars. This grant funds an 80 unit sro hotel on mc calster street. We detailed budget on pages 8 and 9 of the report and evaluated the performance of the grant relative to the requirements in the contract and found conard house is meeting the requirements. This is learning low funded by care not cash funds and recommend approval of item 2. Vice chair mandelman . Thank you, madam chair. Talk about the 50 satisfaction with services how does that rank relative to other tshgs psh buildings it is low compared to other psh buildings. When i will say is there was also a low rate of response to that Tenant Satisfaction survey in 22 23 due to the reserved fire and impacted office space and community space. Since getting the results conard house taken steps to both address making sure more tenants are filling out that survey and addressing the issues that were raised dissatisfaction to tenants what were the issues . Some were related to safety and security at the site that had been impacted by the fire. Including like a fence on the roof. Security cameras, et cetera. Conard house applied for one time capitol improve am fund in thes 23 bash and hsh awarded over 100 thousand dollars this year that is under contract to address some of those issues. The other thing conard house is doing is they have month low Community Meetings with attentives at mc calster hotel. They will be setting up month low Committee Meetings with tenabilities to understand issues of dissatisfaction and address those as they arise rather than waiting for the surveys. And then this is i basic question. This is a cash hotel. Not a what is relationship with coordinated entry and care not cash . Care not cash is the one of the major Funding Source for this hotel. Coordinatedents rew would manage the referrals in the hotel as it is permanent Supportive Housing. How does that. Two different d. S hsa managing care not cash program and obligated to provide housing for people who are going on cap and dont housing or shelter going on cap and dont have it. How does that relate to coordinated entry that seems like a different scheme. Through the chair. I apologize you are correct we have additional cap placements that are happening i believe they do go through an eligibility assessment. I need to check with the team to understand how this works at this site. I would be interested general low in knowing. I want to im interested in the relationship with the two priorities. Care not cash and management of coordinated entries may be we can follow up off line of im happy to. We have good niche policy protocol do we have a sense how they are america up by that standard . Through the chair, we have Good Neighbor policy in all of our agreements not something i have looked at a have not on my end received concerns from naeshs around mc calster hotel. Nothing we standardly. In the list of things we check on for it is not a thing part of it now . Correct. I will say we have colleagues from conard house im happy to invite them to speak about conscience around the holing or Good Neighbor questioning. Yes. Im sandra daves i worked if everfor the associate directoror for Supportive Housing with hsa and worked around mc calster since 2004 and worked hard to develop good reps with neighbors includin
