It is something i think that needs to be revisited because having 100 buses coming down your neighborhood, that means theres 100 buses in the evening so theres over 200 buses, plus you have buses that are idling at 205th and castro to initiate a run. It needs consideration. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the data that you constantly procure for the city and county of San Francisco and we have thank you for that before and i think we all get your emails. I very much would encourage you to speak with ramos after this meeting. If we have to revisit the commuter shuttle battles, both old because you have that many buses backing up, the system, it sounds it may not be working as intended, so i encourage you to get with the sfmta so we dont have to fix it, but if the sfmta doesnt, we can. With that, are there any other members of the public for this item . Seeing none, general Public Comment is closed. I will wish everybody a very happy, healthy, prosperous new year and we are adjourned. Her administration has been so welcoming, so open can so accessible and on the ball and i am proud to call you my mayor. Everybody, london breed. [applause]. Thank you. First of all, thank you also much for being here. Lets give brian and the q. Foundation another hand. [applause] rhys isabel brought brian and other Service Providers who serve People Living with h. I. V. In San Francisco and wanted to make sure that i knew what people needed because i didnt want to spend another dollar without clearly understanding where the deficiencies were, and it all went back to housing. It all went back to the need for subsidies, the need to help keep people housed, and this is the first time in 12 years that we have allocated a Million Dollars to provide subsidies which will help [applause] which will help at least 120 individuals and im so grateful and excited for the providers who are here, the people who will work with us on this. The work that we are going to continue to do because we want to make sure that we are helping some of our most vulnerable populations. When you think about it, sadly people who are homeless, living with h. I. V. , they are less likely to get services and treatment and stay healthy as much as they possibly need. They need stable housing. Housing and health go hand in hand and it is why [applause] it is why i am fighting so hard to build more housing in San Francisco. Yesterday we opened a 200 bed Navigation Center and the embarcadero. The days are running in together we Just Announced yesterday a new Navigation Center for transitional age youth. [applause] so the investment that we are making our Good Investments and part of the challenge is we need more housing. We need more housing. I grew up in San Francisco, as many of you know and i have seen so many of my friends and family members, who i grew up with in public housing, a leave San Francisco because in some instances, they couldnt get a unit even in public housing. They couldnt qualify for affordable housing, and we dont have enough units. So part of my focus is to address homelessness and to address the challenges that exist, but to also think about roads that lead out of the shelters, roads that lead to affordable places that are safe for people to live, and that means that we have a lot of work to do. I know this is going off course, but i also want to thank you all for supporting proposition a this last ballot measure for 600 million for affordable housing. [applause] because we know we have a lot of work to do. There is Nothing Better than having a roof over your head and the support that you need and i cant i will say, if it werent for my grandmother raising me and two of my brothers, i dont know what i would done. It could easily have been a situation that could have been the difference between me being here as you mayor today or anything else. That is what i think about when making these decisions. When i look at the data, another major investment we made that i am really proud of is trans home s. F. We know that folks, brothers and sisters from our Trans Community are 17 more times more likely to experience homelessness than anyone else when you look at the data. Which is why those investments are so important. So here in the city we know there is a lot of work to do, but im so grateful to this community and the work that you are all doing to be advocates to really push the city and what we spend our resources on in the right direction so they actually have an impact on peoples lives i have said this to Department Heads and to folks who work for the city time and time again. Dont waste a dollar on a paperclip because thats the difference between being able to house someone or help someone and we dont have money to waste because people are counting on us to make the right investments that is exactly what i plan to do. I want to thank brian and the q. Foundation. And thank you all for being here i am so looking forward to seeing this program have an impact so we can continue to make the right investments. Thank you, again, and thank you for all the support and the work that so many of you have done for so many years. And finally, now i thank you have a great partner in the Mayors Office who will continue to work to really put our money where our mouth is. Let me just add one more thing, i talk a lot, im sorry. I have to say this one where thing because this is something i am also really proud of because so many people set the path to make this happen before i was even thought of and the fact that this years data on new h. I. V. Infections in San Francisco has dropped below 200 for the first time in our citys history. [applause] i am so, so excited about that and how we, as a community will truly get 20. I also want to say that those numbers are still relatively high for africanamericans and latinos and that means its important it is important that we make deliberate investments, which we have, and those political particular communities to do a better job around outreach, around support, but ultimately, i keep going back to housing. We will continue to work with you on these things and we are grateful to have an amazing partner in the q. Foundation and all of you. Thank you for so much for having me here today. [applause] thank you again. Her administration has really turned the tide when it comes to housing in San Francisco and we deeply, deeply appreciate all the support. Next is is regina here . Where is miss regina . Come on up. Next i am so proud to welcome regina allen. Before i obtained the subsidy from the q. Sub q. Foundation , now i have a house. I live on folsom street. I have stabilized housing. There were times prior to me having stabilized housing that i couch served, looked for any temporary housing opportunities and with the hope that and i was worried about being homeless as a senior and as a mother. Lets see. It hasnt been easy living in San Francisco with h. I. V. I was diagnosed in 2005, so i have been living with h. I. V. For 15 years and this is the first time im actually speaking publicly about my diagnosis. [applause] i did speak with my children and my family about it first and they said, do what youve got to do, mom. It is good. Anyway, is so when i was homeless and i didnt have a place, i didnt think about my medication, i didnt think about life stresses were going on for me with children and everything else. I have my notes. You are good. I was a nervous wreck. Anyway. Before i got my stabilized housing, you know, it was so stressful because i didnt want to share with my family members that i am, you know, if i dont get housed, i might die out here because they didnt understand what it means to be homeless and with h. I. V. I have always had a place. When i became homeless, it was very difficult. But now that i do have a place with these new luxury apartments , yes, i have a luxury apartment. I am on the sixth floor, baby, its fine. Its beautiful it is beautiful. It is beautiful. Its so peaceful. I think i earned that working in the city forever and raising children. Im so thankful for brian and the q. Foundation. Its so easy with your services. Once you are online with the services it is automated. I dont have to worry about getting my rent paid on time. I have money to even have cable. [laughter] i had to lie to even get into a project recently. I had to lie and say that i made x amount of money. Anyway, in the last couple of years, that is when i met brian. I never utilized services. I was a case manager. I realized i couldnt i could live here. I met brian and i fell in love with him and the whole staff. They are very beautiful. I want to thank london breed. I love london breed. [applause] i know some of your family members. I am thankful for what you are doing for San Francisco. Since you have been mayor, just to see in these areas where they dont want people housed, and to see that you fight for us. Thank you for that. [applause] i think the q. Foundation, i think brian. Brian is just awesome. This man is a bail buster. Thank you, everyone. That is it. [applause] i cant believe it. I have never told people that. I have a client here of mind that you never knew and i didnt utilize services because im very private. I didnt want them to get a misunderstanding or judge me. Anyways, thank you everyone. Happy holidays. Miss breed, thank you so much. [applause] regina, we are going to miss you. She was my ambassador at monterrey when i would go down there. I would turn around and suddenly there is an entourage of people Walking Around with us. Always making me feel welcome and at home. We know that you are out here in this luxury highrise, at least you are a little bit closer to the office now. [laughter] thank you, regina. Next, joe from the San Francisco aids foundation has done remarkable things in transforming that organization. Earlier i talked about mayor breeds administration and how open and accessible and effective they are, in the same thing under joes leadership with the aids foundation. Were continuing to build closer and closer relationships and working together on solving all of our joint issues and its absolutely the d. N. A. That joe is creating in the organization. I welcome you to come up and speak. [applause] good afternoon, everyone. I want to echo everything that was said in terms of thinking the mayor for her continuous support around addressing the homelessness crisis and the housing and affordability crisis in our city, and i want to thank and congratulate brian in the q. Foundation for this exciting announcement today. Is the mayor suggested and said, we are at a Pivotal Moment in our fight to end the h. I. V. Epidemic. Last year we had fewer than 200 new cases of h. I. V. And over the last five years, we have seen a decrease by 50 1 in the number of new cases. What we also know as a number of new cases amongst people experiencing homelessness is on the rise. In 2,000 and for in 2015, there were 29. In 2018, there were 40. So what we know is that in order for our safety to get 20, which is the ambitious goal we are all railing rallying behind, we must address the issue of housing and we much must address the issue of homelessness. And of the people who are on the streets each and every night were living with h. I. V. , we know that just 33 of them are virally suppressed and that the best way to get them access to care and get them into consistent treatment is to make sure they have a safe place to rest their head each and every night. That is not a shelter, it is a home. So today [applause] so todays announcement is quite exciting and it will get us even further to this goal. Would also want to acknowledge is it is not just people who are living on the streets that need the support. We are an Amazing Community and made amazing by the longterm survivors and the people who responded to the aids crisis in the early 80s. Right now there are over 16,000 individuals living with h. I. V. In San Francisco, and 65 of them were over the age of 50. What we know is that these individuals are not saying that they are theyre h. I. V. Care needs are going unmet. They are experiencing housing insecurity and experiencing isolation. So again, housing is the solution. Housing is the answer. By making sure that these survivors, survivors of the Worst Epidemic in modern time can survive this crisis of housing and stay in our city, the city that they made great, is something not only the aids foundation and q. Foundation is committed to, but i mayor breed as well as supervisor mandelman are all committed to. I couldnt be prouder to be part of todays announcement and cant wait for their collaboration with the q. Foundation and more of our partners in the room in ensuring everyone has access to affordable housing. [applause] i cant even remember when i first met rafael nadal him in. It was before my hair was grey. [laughter] and he has always been such an incredibly grounded, honest, and natural communicator. Of the many things i like about raphael is he has the ability to so easily put into words his values and how his policy positions connect with them and do it in a way that leads everybody else to that place. Is like, this is why we believe in what we believe, and that is such an incredible skill that i always hope to aspire to, and so im so proud to welcome supervisor mandelman here today and thank him for his leadership and getting out this 1 million with the mayor. [applause] thats ridiculous, im not nearly as eloquent as brian said im not eloquent at all. We all know San Francisco has a homelessness crisis and we also all know that the best solution to homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. So that is why this program is so critical and valuable and why i am so grateful to brian and the q. Foundation for your relentless, tireless advocacy, but also for the h. I. V. Aids Provider Network and others who make the rounds every year in city hall, along with the aids foundation and joe, to ensure that the hivaids communities not forgotten in our annual budget. I think that we have gotten some significant wins in the last year. We are nowhere near where we need to be, but this is a really significant win. So thank you to all who made it happen. My aid and i are ready to go into another budget cycle and we look forward to working with you to make sure that no communities left behind, but particularly not to the hivaids community. Thank you. [applause] heres lot of credit to share. Im so happy that we were able to invite some of the people who deserve our thanks, but theres also many others in the space of time and we dont always get a chance to thank everybody. One of the things i want to acknowledge is our partnership with the Mayors Office of housing and community development. We got our first funding with them 15 years ago and they have been an incredible partner. They are open, they listen to the community, they incorporate our feedback and it really is this incredible collaboration. They are also really good about getting contracts done, paying bills on time, so from leadership to envisioning, all the way down to administrative finesse, i am so thankful and proud to be a partner with the Mayors Office of housing and community development. Helen hale will be our new connection point with the h. I. V. Subsidies program. Everybody, please give them a round of applause for all of their years of service. [applause] i believe all of our speakers are done. Awesome. Everybody who has spoken has to go to another event. You are allowed to go now. This is where we will just move into the part where we talk about some of the eligibility. Growing up in San Francisco has been way safer than growing up other places we we have that bubble, and its still that bubble that its okay to be whatever you want to. You can let your free flag fry he fly here. As an adult with autism, im here to challenge peoples idea of what autism is. My journey is not everyones journey because every autistic child is different, but theres hope. My background has heavy roots in the bay area. I was born in san diego and adopted out to San Francisco when i was about 17 years old. I bounced around a little bit here in high school, but ive always been here in the bay. We are an inclusive preschool, which means that we cater to emp. We dont turn anyone away. We take every child regardless of race, creed, religious or ability. The most common thing i hear in my adult life is oh, you dont seem like you have autism. You seem so normal. Yeah. Thats 26 years of really, really, really hard work and i think thises that i still do. I was one of the first open adoptions for an lgbt couple. They split up when i was about four. One of them is partnered, and one of them is not, and then my biological mother, who is also a lesbian. Very queer family. Growing up in the 90s with a queer family was odd, i had the bubble to protect me, and here, i felt safe. I was bullied relatively infrequently. But i never really felt isolated or alone. I have known for virtually my entire life i was not suspended, but kindly asked to not ever bring it up again in first grade, my desire to have a sex change. The school that i went to really had no idea how to handle one. One of my parents is a little bit gender nonconforming, so they know what its about, but my parents wanted my life to be safe. When i have all the neurological issues to manage, that was just one more to add to it. I was a weird kid. I had my core group of, like, very tight, like, three friends. When we look at autism, we characterize it by, like, lack of eye contact, what i do now is when im looking away from the camera, its for my own comfort. Faces are confusing. Its a lack of mirror neurons in your brain working properly to allow you to experience empathy, to realize where somebody is coming from, or to realize that body language means that. At its core, autism is a social disorder, its a neurological disorder that people are born with, and its a big, big spectrum. It wasnt until i was a teenager that i heard autism in relation to myself, and i rejected it. I was very loud, i took up a lot of space, and it was because mostly taking up space let everybody else know where i existed in the world. I didnt like to talk to people really, and then, when i did, i overshared. I was very difficult to be around. But the friends that i have are very close. I click with our atypical kiddos than other people do. In experience, i remember when i was five years old and not wanting people to touch me because it hurt. I remember throwing chairs because i could not regulate my own emotions, and it did not mean that i was a bad kid, it meant that i couldnt cope. I grew up in a family of behavioral psychologists, and i got development cal developmental psychology from all sides. I recognize that my experience is just a very small picture of that, and not everybodys in a position to have a family thats as supportive, but theres also a community thats incredible helpful and wonderful and open and there for you in your moments of need. It was like two or three years of conversations before i was like you know what . Im just going to do this, and i went out and got my prescription for hormones and started transitioning medically, even though i had already been living as a male. I have a twoyearold. The person who im now married to is my husband for about two years, and then started gaining weight and wasnt sure, so i we went and talked with the doctor at my clinic, and he said well, testosterone is basically birth control, so theres no way you can be pregnant. I found out i was pregnant at 6. 5 months. My whole mission is to kind of normalize adults like me. I think ive finally found my calling in early intervention, which is here, kind of what we do. I think the access to irrelevant care for parents is intentionally confusing. When i did the procespective search for autism for my own child, it was confusing. We have a place where children can be children, but its very confusing. I always out myself as an adult with autism. I think its helpful when you know where can your child go. How im choosing to help is to give children that would normally not be allowed to have children in the same respect, kids that have three times as much work to do as their peers or kids who do odd things, like, beach therapy. How do speech therapy. How do you explain that to the rest of their class . I want that to be a normal experience. I was working on a certificate and kind of getting think Early Childhood credits brefore i started working here, and we did a section on transgender inclusion, inclusion, which is a big issue here in San Francisco because we attract lots of queer families, and the teacher approached me and said i dont really feel comfortable or qualified to talk about this from, like, a cisgendered straight persons perspective, would you mind talking a little bit with your own experience, and im like absolutely. So im now one of the guest speakers in that particular class at city college. I love growing up here. I love what San Francisco represents. The idea of leaving has never occurred to me. But its a place that i need to fight for to bring it back to what it used to be, to allow all of those little kids that come from really unsafe environments to move somewhere safe. What ive done with my life is work to make all of those situations better, to bring a little bit of light to all those kind of issues that were still having, hoping to expand into a little bit more of a Resource Center, and this Resource Center would be more those new parents who have gotten that diagnosis, and we want to be this one centralized place that allows parents to breathe for a second. I would love to empower from the bottom up, from the kid level, and from the top down, from the teacher level. So many things that i would love to do that are all about changing peoples minds about certain chunts, like the Transgender Community or the autistic community. I would like my daughter to know theres no wrong way to go through life. Everybody experiences pain and grief and sadness, and that all of those things are temporary. As a society weve basically failed big portion of our population if you think about the basics of food, shelter safety a lot of people dont have any of those im mr. Cookie cant speak for all the things but i know say, i have ideas how we can address the food issue. Open the door and walk through that dont just stand looking out. As they grew up in in a how would that had access to good food and our parent cooked this is how you feed yours this is not happening in our country this is a huge pleasure im david one of the cofounder so about four year ago we worked with the serviced and got to know the kid one of the things we figured out was that they didnt know how to cook. I heard about the Cooking School through the Larkin Academy a. Their noting no way to feed themselves so theyre eating a lot of fast food and i usually eat whatever safeway is near my home a lot of hot food i was excited that i was eating lunch enough instead of what and eat. As i was inviting them over teaching them basic ways to fix good food they were so existed. Particle learning the skills and the food they were really go it it turned into the is Charity Foundation i ran into my friend we were talking about this this do you want to run this Charity Foundations and she said, yes. Im a cofound and executive director for the cooking project our best classes participation for 10 students are monday theyre really fun their chief driven classes we have a different guest around the city theyre our stand alone colas we had a series or series still city of Attorneys Office style of classes our final are night life diners. Santa barbara shall comes in and helps us show us things and this is one the owners they help us to socialize and ive been here about a year. We want to be sure to serve as many as we can. The San FranciscoCooking School is an amazing amazing partner. It is doing that in that space really elevates the space for the kids special for the chief that make it easy for them to come and it really makes the experience pretty special. Im sutro sue set im a chief 2, 3, 4 San Francisco. Thats what those classes afford me the opportunity it breakdown the barriers and is this is not scary this is our choice about you many times this is a feel good what it is that you give them is an opportunity you have to make it seem like its there for them for the taking show them it is their and they can do that. Hi, im antonio the chief in San Francisco. The majority of kids at that age in order to get them into food they need to see something simple and the evidence will show and easy to produce i want to make sure that people can do it with a bowl and spoon and burner and one pan. I like is the receipts that are simple and not feel like its a burden to make foods the cohesives show something eased. I go for vera toilet so someone cant do it or its way out of their range we only use 6 ingredients i can afford 6 ingredient what good is showing you them something they cant use but the sovereignties what are you going to do more me youre not successful. We made a vegetable stirfry indicators hed ginger and onion that is really affordable how to balance it was easy to make the food we present i loved it if i having had access to a kitchen id cook more. Some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasnt taught how to cook. I have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. The more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify theyre not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. It is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that. Well have our new headquarters in the heart of the tenderloin at taylor and kushlg at the end of this summer 2014 were really excited. A lot of the of the conditions in San Francisco they have in the rest of the country so our goal to 257bd or expand out of the San Francisco in los angeles and then after that who know. Wed never want to tell people want to do or eat only provide the skills and the tools in case thats something people are 2rrd in doing. You cant buy a box of psyche you have to put them in the right vein and direction with the right kids with a right place address time those kids dont have this you have to instill they can do it theyre good enough now to finding out figure out and find the future for president cook peace, peace, and glad youre here.
