Thank you very much, director kosinski, and your staff. I think these mostly addressed the concerns. The question whether it should be an ordinance or in the charter, to be clear. All of the commissions are in the charter. If we would create this by charter, it wouldnt be a Charter Commission that has all the responsibilities and duties defined in the charter. So we think its important that we have something that has. I think this is in many ways recognizing that this department is here to stay. One of the reasons why this this department maybe the main reason why this department doesnt have a commission currently is because its a new department. Its only been around a couple years, and the advisory structure that we have is here from a time when we didnt have a Single Department with the authority that your department has, had a single director and all of that. So i want to be clear that one of the things that were doing here by having a Charter Commission is recognizing the critical
Denied help, 350 more extremely lowincome seniors are added to the 75,000. Theyll be excluded from new Affordable Housing. 4,000 by the year 2030. 4,000, in addition to the 75,000. Were in danger of homelessness and were in danger of being trapped in our homes, which are not a. D. A. Accessible. As a group, were left out of the calculations, as City Affordable Housing income requirements and opportunities have been moved to higher incomes. Seniors are not the only ones, of course, left out of these qualifications. When we need to accommodate everyone. But lets start with the seniors. [bell ringing] we have no options.

Its up to the board to set policy to cure this inequality. Its emerging. Its here. Its relentlessly growing. Please support s. O. S. Save our seniors from this crisis of inequality. [bell ringing] t
And i just wanted to come and add my support for creating this commission . Ive been hearing a lot of concerns about efficiency which i think is really important to talk about as things are already moving slow and the problem of homelessness is not progressing, but the way i look at it is solving these solutions require multiple input, and it is more inefficient to get plans that wont work and have to start over than do our Due Diligence on the front enter, crafting initiatives on the issue of homelessness and having to go back because we redid it wrong the first time . And i also think its important to weigh the pros and cons. If slowing down things by a few weeks will help more people, i see those few weeks for Community Consideration and Better Outcomes as incredibly worth it. I dont think we need to see it as a negative for our community, i think its a positive for making our efforts go forward. Thank you so much for this issue. I hope we can pass it and change the way that were do
