Um, i just want to talk about the Budget Justice Coalition which is a broad base coalition working to insure San Francisco city budget is fair in a way that benefits people with disabilities, youth, the homeless, low wage workers, people at risk for evictions and so forth. I spoke at one of the rallys a few weeks ago and it is a broad base coalition of Community Based organizations. There is attorneys that represent people, people that operate food banks and people that are advocates for people with disabilities, seniors and others. They presented a budget toevery year they present a socially just budget to the mayor as a alternative to past years and this years budget totals 54 million. 19. 8 is for housing subsidies, eviction prevention and the like. Housing issues. But the rest includes early care and education for children, food security, hiv aids services, services for people with disabilities, supports for non profits, business increase for non profits, and as far as Legal Employment services. Last monday next monday is the last Budget Hearing before the boferd supervisors meets to play with the money they get every year to fill in services where the mayors hasnt. I do not have the exact time, but it is here as city hall and a quick call to 311 would probably get you that information. But it is important that there be a strong showing of community support, otherwise it will never happen. That concludes my report. Today is monday which is the 20 . And it is the budget meeting for the board of supervisor jz will probably be ini cant tell you which room, i think it is on the second floor hearing room. Call any Supervisors Office or city hall or just dial 311 and think you can get that information there too. Sorry, i dont have it. I thought i have it but i dont. Thank you for your report cochair supanich. Well proceed to information item 5, staff report from the Mayors Office on disability. Good afternoon council and members the public. Im healthy [inaudible] the ada coordinator at the Mayors Office on disability so todays report we will focus on attention on different Disability Access issues that our office sees as well as requests from the public. For the month of april and may of this year. Our office received 121 inquiries which involve information refurl and ada assist nss. 91 percent were from the public and 9 percent from city departments. Involve question about services, support animals per taining to private housing and public accommodation such as private businesses. There were also request for information for legal resources. We saw questions about providing Effective Communication especially from employees from the city in the area of creating accessible documents for electronic distribution and i think we noteished increase in this subject matter because we just finished our ada coordinator Training Academy and had two sessions on Effective Communications and one folked on practical tips how to create accessible documents. I think the tips were useful because they were easy to follow and you didnt have to be tech savvy. I think that sparked a interest how employees can do that themselves and be proactive. We will post these at trainings on the website so if you want to review the training availability for the ada coordinators that should be up. The website is s frks www. Sfgov. Org sfmdc. We processed 11 complaints for had month of april and may. 3 curb ramp request and one for accommodation. The main complaints reported were maintenance of accessibility features to elevator outage in a city funded program and power door out of service in a skity facility. We received complaints about ubinstruction to the public right of way due to construction zones and we also received complaints about the mishandling of request for accommodations squl city funding housing and homeless programs as well as mishandling to process request for communication for information to be in accessible format. This serves for the members of the public, if you have a Disability Access question or concern you can contact the Mayors Office on disability and reach at by our phone at 4155546789 or contact us through email at m mod sfgov. Org or by calling 311. And i also like to give you information about a project that donna adkin and i will work on.

Is director dodge here yet . I believe i just saw you walk in. Okay, well go back to item 6 and like to welcome director of hope, mr. Sam dodge. Thank you for being here today. Thank you so much. It is very busy few weeks so i am happy to answer all kinds of questions. I think i was invited to talk about the changes with the forming of the new department and so lets broadly go over that and then we can get dialogue. My name is sam dodge and currently the director of the Mayors Office of housing Opportunities Partnership and engagement. We set out on a mission laid out by the mayor to form a new department to centralize our responses to homelessness and as part of that, the Mayors Office of hope, which im the director will fold into this department. The path for had department is really through a transfer of function which is happening with the budget now so we are actually the new director hired for the department, jeff cuzinsky is in the Budget Chamber now so it is a big day for us. It goes through, there is a Company Piece of legislation that goes through the board that helps to establish the department, so it will be a Matrix Department starting july 1 and official department august 15. It takes the Homeless Outreach team and drop in Center Services and housing programs from the department of Public Health and the housing and Homeless Division from the Human Services agency which encompasses shelters and Navigation Centers and drop in centers, Master Lease Program and care not cash programs brings them together to one department so we have a pathway to street outreach through housing. This department is envisioned to have a budget of this next year around 221 million and lets talk about what that entailed. It is about 50 million that goes for the sheltering programs which is for youth, single adults and families, drop in centers, Services Currently for people that are currently without a home. The vast majority of the money is for a permanent Supportive Housing and the services that are embedded there with the rent subsidies, on site support services, 24 hour staffing. It will have around 6300 units in the portfolio and that is the vast majority of the speening for people formally homeless and as vacancies arrive people can access them to leave homelessness. There is a pool of money for prevention and rental subsidies and so by definition those are people housed as well. Preventing evictions, preventing homelessness and provided time limited rent vouchers where we put in social work care, rapid rehousing which we have Great Success for families and expanded for single adults and youth. There is also transitional housing programs and others in there. The basic idea is we have one department focused on ndsed homelessness for san franciscans every day of the year as its primary purpose. The mayors set out a numeric goal in the next 4 year tooz ends the homelessness for 8,000 individuals. We are also working to create one unified data field to really assist people and lesson the amount of intrusive interviews so a case record can follow a person as they make their path from homelessness back into housing. And we have already well along that path but there is still much to do. There is also some other initiatives, key initiatives we are engaged in, but i will just leave it there and maybe give us time for dialogue that we can talk. I just wanted to really address to just the nature of the venue and Carla Johnson and the great work she did for our system dealing with people experiencing homelessness that have different challenges and got to work closely with her in the set of of the nachbigation center at 1950 mission and her dedication and passion were really infectious and as a 1i6b8 servant she was inspiring how to bring the passion for change into our professions, while be a professional and going above and beyaunds and figuring how to do best. She really inspired so many of us so just wanted to acknowledge her. With that, i will hand it over. Thank you mr. Dodge. I thank you for your presentation and kinds words about the former director, Carla Johnson. I will open up for questions from the council. Cochair supanich. My screen is tuning in and out so may not see your name so raise your hand if i donts call you. Thank you for your presentation and your final words. Carly had a way of advocating and being a activist in the kind est and gentleest ways and also very very effective and glad you got to work with her so closely. As far as the department of homelessness, i do have several questions. A few things are still a little fuzzy around what it means and so i guess first of all, i like to know 220 million budget as you are forming other programs into department of homelessness, is that a net increase for Homeless Services or just adding up all the other Department Budgets from last year . It is mostly you know, bringing all the programs together and the Cost Increases together and there is a increase as well. There is increase funding put in there so we can leverage federal vouchering programs to bring on at least looks like 300 units of housing that we will be able to bring on
