Good morning commissioners so i guess the big news this week the budget the mayor released his budget and submitted to the board of supervisors and a lot of great things for the department of aging Adult Services so i want to quickly go over those items and unfortunately, im reading that off any phone small prinlt you know that you approved a budget we submitting to the Mayors Office in february and has items that basically no cuts in the addition with positions for adult prospective services and other stray positions but not a lot of extra things in the budget lying enhancements for Community Services we were hoping that there will be a way to get those into our budget as well and the mayor certainly wanted to get some of those in one of the things the first thing i think that the Community Members have been asking for on our 5 year plan to include this this did portfolio that is the senior Disabilities Program he serve that has gotten transaction on the east coast i think and it is kind of a work Subsidy Program for older adults in our says adult disabilities 2 0050000 a great start for us to wade into that world and try a pilot there so thats exciting and Case Management enhancements people in the community youve heard the Case Management in dos has been kind of not that funding has not kept up with the need for increases in salaries and the mayor recognized this is a program that has really not kept up even at the level of the some of the programs kept us u up to the Case Management programs have continued to lose staff and a decrease in quality the challenge of hiring people that you are bilingual has been greater than in the past so when we look at the workers we have in internally in department of aging Adult Services or in the city and the salaries in the community obviously dont keep up near where they should so people leave etc. So the mayor has put one hundred and 75 thousand so we can start the process of raising the salaries and hopefully with worker retention in the Case Management program the conservatory the department of health and the department of aging Adult Services has started thinking how to streamline the conservatorship is he people are significantly in emergency and needs conservativelyship and people are living in the community and need the corn certificateship services were trying to make that happy with dpw and others so people slipping through the crack on the street and the recidivism pattern before and after within between the street and facilities well help them better there is positions in there and also upgrades for the current staff to be at the same level of the adult prospective services were looking a clarification change there we also looking at a supported home pilot were calling 2 that is something that supervisor eric mar and a number of advocates in the community and our communitybased providers are trying out behaving because we know there is a need for inhome care for people that dont qualify for the so theres obviously people with a lot of money can a pay for their own home care but the middleincome or others in San Francisco that cant afford it the budget and the legislative 234569 estimated first year thousand people to stay at home safely were try a polite from the Mayors Office put one Million Dollar in annually for the next two years to try this out and were going to have some issues around prioritization who gets to serve but really to see if we can change some of the outcomes for people if they get that home care theyll go to a hospital fewer times and end up in Nursing Services and thats exciting to get to try that out for the different populations the dignity fund the Mayors Office has put a plug in for the dignity fund at a place for 6 million in year two which is 20162017 and year one prelims we need to staff up a little bit in the dignity fund passes were lucky positions and consultant to get off the ground the Mayors Office put in 6 million for 20172018 and the dignity Fund Legislation was introduced by supervisor cowen last week at 2 percent the property that will be more library 33 million in the firefighter to malia cohens office the Dignity Fund Coalition and i will be meeting to figure out a way to get closer so the Mayors Office and the coalition and the board are more in agreement about startup amounts and nutrition so one of the things you may remember that last year the board of supervisors had quite a bit of money into Nutrition One time only money and generally speaking when the board does things one time the mayor didnt pickup and maybe not the way it was intended and in this case the mayor really wanted to put money into nutrition so 1. 2 million thats about half; right . So the mayor put in 1. 2 million of the 2. 4. 01 time back into his budget and so that maintenance a lot of the services we started this year and enhanced this year and in addition to that, the mayor has put in an ad back for the one time only housing Subsidy Amount we got last year that was 700,050,000 so that again was a one time add back with the board and the mayor elected to backfill that completely it is now in the baseline budget and i think just to give you detail about the nutrition so what that 1. 2 million that the mayor has elected to backfill 9 Lunch Program with the Chance Program the routine i Restaurant Voucher Program and home delivered groceries and home delivered meals yeah. Those 3 things so it will help because we wont have to cut back on the services but not getting us quite there i guess the last thing i wanted to mention the scattered site Housing Contract that was with with the department of health will be moving to the department of aging Adult Services and the contract is now with the nonprofit provider called brilliant corners it is great well have if that and actually sit in the Community Fund and it is something that the Community Living fund is able to assess for a long time it is great so it seems like it is in effect i think that about it in terms of the enhancements from the mayor as you may know now the board has the budget and the board will be looking at other things we want to commend fund and maybe things they dont want to fund and asking us for a lot of details for the positions we got into the budget and president some justification on those but looking at our vacant and all those things obviously they have interests in theyre own district and interests in terms of the program oh, one other thing i didnt i neglected to mention the mayor put in a second Deputy Director for our Department Im personally excited but it is become really grown a lot a lot of work for one permanent to analyze so thats in our budget as well i think the only thing i want to say two things one i was at the californias association of agencies our aging one of the things theyre talking about this year is trying to enhance kind of the face of angling in california and there were going to be doing a Media Campaign california wide to put a positive face on angling and everywhere i go im conscious and im sure you are as well we see so many negative images of aging how bad it is to get odd old and great reasons we should be paying attention to aging this year a number of us that are aging in this country and going to need services and going to have to support each im excited were b be working and actually ill be chairing the Education Committee it will be interesting to see what other peoples takes and promoting the best practices if every community in california and get that out into the public and have a much Stronger Public presence i guess so thats exciting and then the last thing i wanted to mention on june 8th and i think all of you gotten an invitation on june 8th well be celebrating world elderly abuse day in San Francisco and our celebration will be at the herbst theater it starts at 4 and goes to 7 and Paul Henderson and from the Mayors Office will be the master of the ceremonies and hes running for Supreme Court judge and very entertaining 0 it should be fun and then dave jones commissioner will be coming to speak in the beginning and talking about elderly abuse awareness i believe that still will be lit up in purple in awareness of elder abuse there is a lot going on and the senior at the adult and protective serves will be there and people will come back by thank you that concludes my report. Thank you. Any questions. Yes. Wait. Go ahead. Commissioner sims. Thank you the additional budget that was provided by the Mayors Office this is one time only or ongoing is that will be ongoing funding. Those are baseline items. Okay. Concerning the dignity fund do we have 6 supervisors. Signed in . You know im actually not sure about that part this is a question for the Dignity Fund Coalition i believe. So from the dignity fund passed the 32 million will be affected; right . In cases that it didnt pass the mayor will put in the one Million Dollars. Well, no i think what will happen the Mayors Office and the coalition and the board are all working together to find a way to come to agreement about the legislation ultimately looks like we dont know it would be that it goes in that way and a different way. The 2 percent is in the subsidy. Correct. Okay commissioners did you have questions. Anyone else . Yeah. Sherren you were talking about it in home support for the middleincome and one Million Dollars for two years. It is one Million Dollars for each of two years. For each of two years. Right. A pilot project. Right. Whats the plan for dos to get this program off the ground thats a great question we didnt found out until this week that will be in the Mayors Office budget we have to look at setting it up to study it so we need to know the outcomes we will have what well do a Subsidy Program so is it not going to be you know we did try a piloted for people to qualify for Inhome Care Services but had to pay something we didnt need to study is that will be a subsidy important people who either dont qualify or want to pay for one well bring back the stakeholder that kind of helped to put this together and work with the Community Living fund probably a mechanism we have in place and decide how to prioritize people that is hard well not have enough money for 14 thousand people and dont know this is quite the right number we can probably serve to 50 people in a year and so we have to think carefully how what populations we want to look at it and learn and it will be something that will start as soon as we know that is getting to the budget and how much money well start those discussions soon. Its right around the corner. Im aware we need to get going on that. Thank you. Any other questions commissioners you had a question from come forward.
