In addition to the whole board vacating at once, there are a number of additional concerns that we have. How do we the city, maintain a committee of able and committed members . As it stands the committee is all volunteer. The workload as of now are far too labor intensive to be sustained by a volunteer board.

Then well continue working with hsa and compass on cal works and how that would work whether it be fulltime, parttime, make it more easy for families to navigate our system. Cal works is not a barrier, but a positive and benefit for families. With that ill conclude. How long does it take approximately for a family or individual if theyre on cal works in another county to get their cal works transferred to San Francisco . Its usually 30 days. During that time can they not get on the wait list . No. They can. Okay. You just have to apply too, and that would initiate an intercounty transfer.
