Had the pleasure of serving on the task force and i want to thank supervisors weiner and campos and former supervisor olague for your vision in putting this together because it would not have happened unless you would have done that, i also want to thank bill in particular on the task force and i very much appreciated my colleagues but bill put this together and pulled it together in an effective way and we would not have had the report that we had without his guidance. And so, one of the things...

Be living with some other form of dementia. Using the citys 12 percent estimate of the lgbt senior population it can be extrapolated that by 2020 over 4,000 lgbt older adults over the age of 65 will be challenged by some form of als hiemer dementia. Heterosexual rely on family members to secure medical information and Access Service and to provide support, but research has shown that elder adults that are twice as likely to be single and live along as heterosexual and less likely to have Adult C...

Support. I want to talk to you this morning about a crisis. That the city and the Lgbt Community is facing together. And it is in demencika, do not let your response to this crisis be lost in the urgent and important recommendations for housing security and affordability and other much needed services. By 2020, the total population of older adults in San Francisco living with alzheimers disease will be 26,774 older adults.

Underlying theme in all of our recommendations that it is something that all of us on the task force became aware of as we gathered data. And that is, a lot of us who are aging now, the boomer generation, and we really wanted to stay in our own homes. And as long as possible. And out of the home, that our parents might be in now, and it is a generational thing, i think. And so, a lot of our recommendations actually attempted to begin to instead of look at how you do that, how do you allow people...

Purge, that is the Housing Authoritys word on purging the list and a lot of the people on the list have impairments in terms of maybe not a permanent address but of a friends address and they may not go there to check their mail or be in what impaired by bad choices of lifestyle. And to be waiting on a list and be eliminated is just seems in congress with the whole idea with the Housing Authority is supposed to do. And i would like to see more moneys spent rather than someone leaving a legacy of...

For support but the families of choice are not friends similar in age who may have relocated passed away or in need of services themselves. This difficult as it is, there are chronic illnesses that a person can manage at home on their own such as asthma. The older adults with alzheimers who are without benefits of the formal support system are vulnerable to receiving little or no care to assist them to remain in their homes, if you dont have a place and a plan and some understanding of the disea...

Comment first year i think at any time highly problematic so have a mechanism whereby you appeal you have to use the Building Permit to that address the environmental officer. In that case you can delay the process every longer because you can wait until the actual permit t is issued. So if thats the last approval then i have a mechanism to rely on in that respect by appealing the Building Permit itself but to use the permit as an excuse to royal the decision by the environmental officer is prob...

Im even sure its appropriate for me to be saying anything. A couple of of issues that are okay to say that doesnt concern directly the proposals before you but some things that have been said with the board of appeals i agree with the past comment first year i think at any time highly problematic so have a mechanism whereby you appeal you have to use the Building Permit to that address the environmental officer. In that case you can delay the process every longer because you can wait until the a...

The other believe that we have is that it is important to step back from what we know at listen to our clients. Has to stop putting our beliefs on them. We have to look at where people are coming from with technology. And figure out what the issues are that they are having. The big question that we often asked is, when someone is struggling, is that a disability issue or a learning curve issue . We find that the disability issues are the easy fixes. The small print, hard to use a mouse, all of t...
