My staff works really hard, and i think we are doing everything we can to make it easier for providers and for consumers to be able to access the services that are available to them and serve the people of the city. Any questions . Thank you, kelly. It might be helpful for newer commissioners if you summarized how a consumer qualifies for ihss. What are the requirements . In terms of income or right. So in order to be able to qualify, you have to be medical eligible. If you are, you would call cristas shop, and they would arrange to have a social worker come who would determine how many hours per month you are entitled to. And once that happens, you can hire whoever you want. And about 85 percent of consumers in San Francisco have a friend or Family Member that will do the service for them, which i will also just add, keeps people housed, because then they know they can get paid to provide the service for a friend or Family Member, so there will still be income coming in. 15 percent wh

For 3 years. There is a restaurant across from me empty for 3 years. I can just go on and on. I am totally invested in the Mission District in San Francisco in my 36 years in the mission, myself and staff have donated time and to organizations. I have bought uniforms for the baseball team. Whenever anybody has come to me for a donations eye i have given it to them. When i came to the Mission District in San Francisco, i learned it was the shopping state in the united states.

We have not had an opportunity to do
