Thank you. Okay. Next h Program Performance on the seniors and young adults with sdalts disability bryan. Good morning, commissioners and others im the Program Analyst a give you a little bit of background at the april 2015 commission the Commission Approved a new contract for funding for a new type of program a housing subsidy project programming to be administrative code by the q known as aids Housing Alliance this was identified seniors with disabilities a doctor in income and without this program would be evicted through the use of a housing subsidy payment to help with rent the idea of eviction is prevented and younger adults are stabilized and kept in their housing, of course, the participates in this program go to rigorous extensive ongoing participation in the program as i mentioned this was new to dos and the commission at that time that was presented the commissions ask for an update as the program was upcoming so today ive asked bryan to come in and talk to the commission on an update how the program is going with that said, is bryan here. Hello commissioners, thank you for having us back it is gone by really quickly for or youre here again all right. So i want to give you an update on the process were making were fully enrolled in a Subsidy Program and there we go. So here youll see the age distribution for the people that weve enrolled in the program we range from 25 years old to 97 is our oldest enroll yes. Weve got one 90 years old and that is gratifying our Largest Group is 50 to 59 lets see the gender breakdown is 26 female and 66 percent meal and 8 percent transgender that is equally distributed between male to female and female to male transgender. Race wear 23 percent africanamerican, 61 percent caucasian, 10 percent first nation and 10 percent Asian Pacific islanders and under ethnicity 10 percent hispanic latino and 90 percent not hispanic latino. The subsidy range is as low as 200 and 46 and the maximum amount is 1,200 with the average which when i modeled it out 8 hundred bucks were getting close. Our average rent is one thousand 34 with the average income of enreels 893 our ratio is one hundred and 8 percent the average person their rent exceeded their income and without that that subsidy they would have lost their housing we had a pilot working with the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development to help identify certificate of preference holders or ellis act evictions counselors who have been unable to execute their excuse me. Their preferences they lack sufficient income so 11 percent of the people we enrolled in the subsidy are certificate of preference holders or local eviction im grateful a family for preference for a certificate of preference holder for 40 or 50 years and finally be able to change the way we distribute access to rental assistance in the city so that we really, time it with access to housing what we have a system that is broken that if you have a section 8 certify be on the list youre on the list for 15 or 17 years you get our subsidy and no housing in the market to execute it if or so the only option to apply more Affordable Housing so you sit on a wait list for years and then loss the subsidy by the time the income it up the system is broken this is a way to look at creative ways to see the systems coordinated better it seems to be working. And then well have a total of 13 agrees enrolling into the subsidys weve built an online portal when someone comes to them their log in and do the referral the screening and referral right there they scan the proof of income and the documents and just drag and drop it into the portal we contact those people and set up the in take and enroll them weve enroll people in as little as twentyfour hours that seems to be working. That is the highlights any questions. Yes. I have one question what about more or less the disabled that may have children. There are no restrictions. Are there restrictions on that. No, no we dont have a restriction against children in the home for those subsidies overwhelmingly were talking about simple adults. Most of single adults but no restrictions if they have children. Not at all. Any other questions . Okay thank you. Thank you, commissioners. Thank you. We got a couple of our participants that want to come up and say hi. Im unprepared but hi, good morning ive been a resident of San Francisco since 198 percent 2 before any life was stable and then became unstable my rent is one thousand 55 a month i cant go to have a cup of coffee mr.

Thank you. Is there any other business at this time new business for discussion only correlation presentation sandra i didnt moore thank you. Now. Good morning commission and ann and at this time i want to thank ann pubically for her blifrp being the head of our department thank you, ann well miss you im here commissioners to give you an overview of the dignity fund cooperation that is a coalition of nonprofit and representatives from the ada field and the younger disability aging field it came together to look at this issue what is golden going on in San FranciscoSan Francisco has the largest population of seniors in any city in california they together with those over 18years old with disability comprise 25 percent of San Franciscos current residence those 200 thousand residents represent a difference immunities of people a rich mixture of ethnicity and gender and Sexual Orientation whether loshlth residents theyve help to build this city with culture and history nearly 2 3rds of older residents lack the basic o basic Economic Security that displace will continue to grow because the elaborately cost of living and the growing number of seniors and adults with sdablths needing look at of pope hope to stay in their homes the Dignity Fund Coalition was put together to look at this to help seniors and adults with disabilities to get support in a larger way than we have been in the last few years we did we are in discussion this is a work in process commissioners so this will be well come back to you give you an update where this is going going but the goal to come up with a Ballot Initiative for november of 2016 and this will be a Charter Amendment the chapter amendment requires 50 percent because one of the voters to support and this the question that was put in a poll we took we did a poll prior to coming to this ascertainment and that poll showed that over 69 to 74 percent of people registered voters will support of the concept of setting aside 2 percent of property tax to be allocated toward Senior Services and services for adults with disabilities as you may know this concept of set aside is controversial because most elected officials do not support the idea of taking away the authority of the budget of the particular city and so with this particular concept weve been going to the different supervisors we have 5 supervisors who are supportive of this concept we would like our goal to get 11 supervisors to support the concept and the mayor is supporting this concept were talking with the mayors representatives in the department that represent the department of aging Adult Services about this whole direction and so we have a lot of work to do ahead a lot of Community Organizes at the Grassroots Level as you may know this is a because it is a Ballot Initiative it takes it is the issue of getting the voters to support it so i wanted to also let you know that this particular fund would support funding for communitybased Long Term Services this is not include institutional care serves as laguna honda or San FranciscoGeneral Hospital many of the advocates of aging Adult Services for over 25 years has been pushing the concept of communitybased care and having people age in place in our homes and parttime and neighborhoods as long as possible without institutionalized so serves as home and Community Long term support and food and nutrition and consumer and caregiver education and empowerment selfadvocacy and Legal Services program and health and wellness and the targeted services and support and new areas such as alzheimers care, respite care and caregiver support so those are some of the categories that would be included in the funding from this dignity fund and the other aspect i wanted to direct your attention is that in terms of the relationship to you as commissioners you as a commission would therefore because the funds go through our Department Therefore our commission would be overseeing that fund at the same time, were recommending what we call a governance and Overview Committee that is appointees from the mayor and the board of supervisors to also oversee this implementation of the fund and administration of the fund as i mentioned this fund b will go introduce the department of aging Adult Services therefore your budget b will increase quite a bit f if in place today, the fiscal year 2018 we would have added 29 million to your base budget to give you an idea so that as i said is a major policy direction for the city and county of San Francisco and we will continue to give you update as we continue to organize towards this if you have any questions ill be happy to to try to answer them. Not at this time it is a major policy change and we need to look at make sure we are in touch with all parts of Community Community because it people are concerned about the tax praishg and what have you. Commissioners this is no new tax it is setting aside 2 percent of partitioning that come in every year. Oh. To set aside 4 funding for seniors and adults with disabilities. Youre right commission. You were talking about all aspects the city because there are part of our city who also have a stereotype of seniors that seniors are welloff and fine they dont need a lot of happen theres that prospective we have to do a lot of Community Awareness and a lot of outreach to go into every single neighborhood all the different advocacy groups right now we have 25 he different organizations that are supporting this concept and thats going to increase, of course, because we plan to add more and more as we go.

This is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. Ith was built in the 1930s and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. Every year, the World Championship of fly casting is held in San Francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. We are here with phil, general manage of San Francisco rec and Parks Department at the anglers lodge. What do you think about this . It is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. There are people from all over the world come to San Francisco and say this is the place to be. Yeah. Its amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today and they are thrilled. I flew from ireland to be here. And been practicing since for the competition. All the best casters in the world come here. My fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. Its unique. Will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. Competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. There is no complex in the world that can touch it. Im here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. Im going to suit up and next, were in the water. What any gentleman should do. Golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. We have equipment show up on the 9 30 on the second saturday of every month and well teach them to fly cast. Ok. We are in the water. Let me acquaint you with the fly rod. Nice to meet you. This is the lower grip and the upper grip. This is a reel and a fly line. We are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. Exactly as you moved your hands. Thats it . Thats it. Im a natural. Push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. Push forward. I did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice. I met someone else with real fly casting skills. Her name is donna and she is an International Fly casting champion. I have competed in the casting ponds in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. I spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. Its a great place to learn and have fun. On a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. I find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. Takes me out into the nature. Almost like drawing art in the air. And then i can make these beautiful loops out there. Even though people from across the globe come here to compete, its still a place where locals in the know relax and enjoy some rely unique scenery.
