City alone. All our nonprofit providers, [speaker not understood]. They do a fantastic job, they do a good job providing quality housing, housing, and keeping folks housed. We wanted to get as many people as shelter as possible. People didnt need to get housing ready. They needed to [speaker not understood]. The vast majority for chronically homeless single adults. We have a number of 43 1 units in the pipeline that should come online over the next two years or two plus years. Once theyre online, well hit our goal over 3,000, 386 units according to the plan. And again, i talk about targeting, the vast majority of units are dedicate today chronically single homeless single adults [speaker not understood]. Can i ask you a question on that . In reading around the documents, funding is a big deal for us as a city for every issue, let alone this. Several dollars seem to be targeted on what the definition of homelessness is and limited in a way because of that. So, our foil us on the chronic
The recommendations and talk about where we are. Barbaras tent and trents testimony will elaborate on that, but i think it gives us a framework. So, obviously the largest recommendation was around 3,000 units of permanent Supportive Housing. As weve looked at the pipeline and whats been developed by the end of this fiscal year will be at about 2800. So, well be very close to achieving that goal with about 200 units remaining. We have been very successful in building the portfolio to the direct access to housing programs and New Buildings that have been brought online on the losp program that hsa has been involved with. So, i think in large, we have achieved that goal. I think Going Forward, there are relatively small number of units pending in the pipeline. I think out of about 9,000, more than 9,000 units within the Mayors Office of housing, there are less than 500 that are dedicated towards the Homeless Population. And it is very complex to deal with the issues of affordability in Sa

The media that came to laramie to report the case was relying a lot on a couple of initial press releases and press releases and press conferencconferenc s and basically what they could pick up pick up a lot of which was hearsay because they couldnt interview a lot of witnesses and they couldnt look through the Police Records and they couldnt look at the Police Reports and statements. The statements in the principles in the case. About eight months into my research in laramie i finished the first draft of the screenplay. By then and this happened early on. On. I met the prosecutor in the case. His name was cal. He was the person responsible for sending Aaron Mckenney and Russell Henderson away for life. They both received two life sentences with no chance of a role. After about eight months i finished the draft and i asked the prosecutor to read it and do some factchecking for me and to be sure that i hadnt misstate
So, madam clerk, if well start the first one, if you could call item number 1. Item number 1 is the hearing to discuss and evaluate San Franciscos 10year plan to abolish chronic homelessness, which is due to sunset at the end of 2014. Thank you. So, colleagues, our first item today is a hearing i called for a few months ago to discuss our citys tenyear plan to abolish chronic homelessness here in San Francisco, a plan which is set to sunset this year in june. Leading up to todays hearing my staff and i spent significant amounts of time meeting with city, nonprofit and Community Leaders as well as outside organizations who tackle homelessness issues in other jurisdictions to find out whats been moving the needle on homelessness and what is not. We have accomplished a lot in the last 10 years, but despite our successes, the facts are that our Homeless Population count in San Francisco has remained flat for the last 10 years and i do believe the new ideas and policies beyond and including
