Knead is also here. As i said when i started the presentation, we have continued to get inquiries from the commission related to the Implementation Committee spanned and so i thought it prude to just share a little bit more information with you today about those dollars even though they are not under the jurisdiction of the commission. As i said at the beginning of the presentation, the commitment thats been made to the San Francisco foundation on bow half of the community is over 8 million. To date and again to date through q2, over 2 million in grants have been made we have currently a 500,000 grant pending to San FranciscoHousing Development corporation to support the purchase of 5033 and some of you know the brick building on third street next to the vacant lot near bank of america and it has residential on top and those tenants are protected and below market rate tenants and the commercial space below it is my understanding that that will be a second location for craft men and it has a business for five years and space for new businesses. Our latest round of workforce funding 455,000 has included 160,000 to the workforce collaborative and were proud of this funding and even today theyre actually 11 graduates in the anchor program and nine of those graduates have come through this program specifically out of these funds out of Implementation Committee they graduate this afternoon and the anchor program is a program and the average starting salary is 40,000 but i understand and i think theyre going to share some information with you and i understand its easy for a new merchant seaman to make between 40,000 and 70,000 to start and i think its an Important Program and we decided to fund it out of the i. C. Because you can as a seaman you can work eight months and be paid for 12 and you get to travel and you stay locally and it gives people an opportunity young men particularly although theyre obviously female merchant seaman but it gives them an opportunity to work and earn a wage that will support them in the families and maybe leave the community, not to displace them but leave the community and see other things and still be able to serve it particularly if they have safe travel issues and cant work in the city. So with that, i will end my presentation and thank the committee for any questions. Thank you. Madam secretary, do we have any speaker cards for this item . Yes, mr. Vicechair we have ten speaker cards. Ok, just by the show of hands , who else will be speaking on this item that has not filled out a card . We have a couple of folks and maybe people in overflow so well also ok. Did i put it in. If i didnt i wont be. Its not there. Part of our Community Benefits program that were really proud of is the things that we do above and beyond our obligations and so we have a active barrier removal component to our service and so two of the programs that i wanted to share with you are again a barrier Removal Program that we started with y. C. D. When i first started joined the company and i brought an idea and he said yes and that is looking at how we provide funds to help the men and women who want to work on the projector work in construction bun on the project and mitigate the barriers that prevent them from being able to work like union due initiation fees, monthly duce, uniforms, drivers license , reinstatement, those kinds of things so we have provided 50,000 to y. C. D. Annually for those programs. And we also provide School Uniforms for all of the district girls from district 10 who attend i am conception and thats 70 girls from the district and when i go back to school night which i visit with them, they talk with us about the importance of that gift because it makes it difficult for families to attend. Thank you for letting me come back to the microphone. Absolutely. I just want to inform those that are overflow room down stairs that if you want to come and speak on this item to begin to make your way up to our room today. With that we will have comments, Public Comments for two minutes each and madam secretary. Dorthy kelly. Hello, my name is dorthy kelly and im a buy view resident for over 20 years. I would like to encourage, the commission, to move forward with this project today. We need more employment, we need more housing, i have my daughter works for the city and she has been trying to get in to these housing things and theyre telling her she makes too much money and im not understanding none of that, ok, this is down in mission bay, she cant even get in and she works for the city. Ok, so something really needs to be done with that, really, because we have family that are homeless and families, ok. Thank you. Adam. Michael franklin, joy Jackson Morgan, jesse aforio. Im Michael Franklin i wanted to let you know im part of anchor program and im going to graduate this evening so i dont have that much to talk because im getting back to the other side of the city so i would like to let you know the program is great and you should put out fly ers to let a lot more people know about it because a lot of youngsters dont know about what is going on and like i said, the instructors are exceptional, theyre good and great and they feed you too every now and then so thats a good point but like i said, i dont have that much time, i have to go but the anchor program is a good thing, yall add more money to it. Ok. Have a good one. Congratulations. [applause] good afternoon commissioners, my name is joy Jackson Morgan im the executive district or at third street youth clinic and im here to speak on behalf of our program and i brought a couple of youth with us and we serve youth from ages 12 to 24 but this particular program serves our youth from 17 to 24 and with the Community Benefits funds we are sending you to college and most of our youth come from bay view or live in bay view and so weve sent roughly 60 young people within the past two years to college. We work with San Francisco state , skyline, city college of San Francisco and several east bay schools and we have youth who are placed at saint marys, we have youth placed throughout other hbcus and so these youth are interested in working in the healthcare field and these are youth who didnt really see themselves in college put through this program and we are able to help them get connected and obtain these sustainable careers and also with this program we pay for childcare, they are earn a stipend and we pay for all their school fees and books and i want to give some time for some of our youth to come up. How yall doing. Your name. Im tray sean hicks and i was a student for about two years. When i started in health core i wasnt really thinking too much in to it but, since i got in, i broke my barriers because before i didnt probably think about going to college i probably hanging out you know, not doing much with my life and i graduated at 16 and didnt take advantage of the opportunity and i did start at city and i missed up through it and they provided the services to pay for me to go back to school and i really wasnt going nowhere before and even since then, even after im not in the program they still support me and you know, help me with whatever i may need help in and i mean even like in life perspective so i mean, third street all together is like a big Resource Center for youth at risk youth at that and i was an at risk youth at one point. So, they provide a lot of Services Including the health core program which actually open your eyes to bigger perspective because i was bond to the community i live in which is bay view Hunters Point so me personally, they did a lot for me personally in my life. And they can help a lot of people actually. Thats great. Thank you. The rest of them are actually at school and some had to leave because they have a midterm tomorrow. Thank you. [applause] the next throw speakers, please. Jesse, marcus tart, mr. Lilly fitzpatrick. Next speaker please. Jesse. Please come up to the podium. Marcus. Marcus. Good afternoon commissioners for the record marcus, tart on the Center Director with renaissance entrepreneur ship center in the bay view and we provide comprehensive Business Support Services and training and mentor ship and networking and access to capital peer support for Small Businesses and Small Businesses and entrepreneurs and the bay view hunters community and recently we started our contractors initiative actually in a little more than recently about eight years ago with the support of five point and through that program, we helped to build a capacity of local contractors from the community to work on the shipyard project and what i do mean by building capacity . If you are used to working a project that say 50,000 we build your capacity to work with projects 250,000 or 450,000, how do we do that . We connect our local contractors with mentors, prime contractors that are working out in the community so these contractors include cahill, web core, clark construction, nibby and they help them build the capacity and its a Great Program and the program was modeled throughout the city and throughout the bay area, ive seen kind of parts of our program and oakland and richmond and as we know there are challenges with the program and when we say build a capacity to work on the shipyard it takes time and so the time that it takes often times is not enough for the prime contractors who actual low have these obligations so ending i want to say that five point has been a great partner with us and theyve helped us to problem solve, to resolve these issues in construction with our local contractors to help build their capacity to work on these projects and so i hope you support them and i look forward to their support. Sister lilly fitzpatrick. Good afternoon, commissioners hello sister im sister lilly and im from an all Girls College prep Catholic High School thats been around for 135 years. Our school is unique that her girls work at corporate entry level jobs to help pay the majority of their tuition and completing a full College Prep Curriculum and how does the program work . You have four high school students, freshman, soft more, junior and senior each works one day a week and five days a month because they rotate the monday between them and our girls are currently working in tv stations accounting for hospitals, banks, biotech companies, real estate companies, Construction Companies and many more and these jobs are for their girls they opportunity to be incorporate environments not available to them given their familys demographics so the girls who attend the academy must come from very low family demographics so you are all wondering what does that have to do with me before here before you today. Well im the person who find jobs for the girls. I approach for jobs for our girls and kofi was not a good fit for his office sew went outside the box and found a way to help support i am the academy and they have uniforms for the students in district 10 that attend the academy for the past four years right now its probably an amount of 40,000 and so you can only imagine what that is meant to our families at i. C. A. In the mission and we need people like kofi, and five point in our community who are already making a difference and they already have a proven track record so why cant we support them and here is five point, thank you.

[applause] chad houston. Timothy waters. Good afternoon, commissioners my name is tim waters im Program District or at Young Community developers and on behalf of our executive director id like to make a few brief comments. As many of you why the Community Based organization focuses on delivering Workforce Development services to residents of bay view Hunters Point district 10 and to the city of San Francisco we specifically provide clients with job training and Placement Services and we engagement with industry with a significantance president s placing our clients. Lenar urban is a supporters and partner in our success and more importantly in the success of the residents of district 10 in gaining employment in the expansive construction sector going throughout San Francisco. We worked with lenar urban for several years and provided significant Financial Support for our residents entering the construction sector, speakly mitigation funds, new hires with union initiation fees and union dues, work boots and tools. Its one thing to provide the workforce training and not its Financial Support takes it to a new level and enable our residents to gain employment at construction sites by eliminating financial barriers and its important to note that len ar is fully committed and invested in furthering activities for district 10. For instance, they will provide the resources for a math academy so that we can increase placements in electrical and pluming trades and applicants are required to pass an exam i guess which has a heavy con sensation of math, he will ga bra and geometry so many complaints may struggle in this area, we have recently learned that lennar as approved a math emission proposal and furthered committed fund Going Forward three cohorts and in summary, len ar has been and continues to be a phenomenal partner and supporter of y. C. D. And the residents of baby Hunters Point and we look forward to working with them in the future. Thank you. Ace washington. Im support kofi. Hold up. I know kofi for 20 years and i know him before when he was a Re Development and i had the opportunity to do exclusive interview with them and im going to give my stamp of approval with lenar, with kofi, specifically, now i have not talked to him since the turn of point five but im going to talk to him live and find out what his real ambition is. I know he is a good guy, theres no doubt about it because if he wasnt i would talk about him right now. It doesnt make a difference of what color you are when you are wrong you are wrong and when you are right you are right. Kofi has been doing a good job despite the stuff under the ground and he is a good guy, he is a good black man. Anyway, im up here supporting him and i will speak on some other things and im duel, trying to go downstairs with the board of supervisor and i have to rush up here and i told you when i first game to fruition when you started with the o. C. I. That you had the sameday meetings both the supervisor and i told you that would interfere with me but its ok, i can go up and down but right now im here supporting, ok, you are doing a wonderful job, ive been knowing the girl when the third street merchant, talk to her. Shes doing a wonderful job and i know her presidenciesors and those before that but you are doing a excellent job girl and you are looking good too. My name is ace im on the case and kofi you have a stamp of approval and set up the meeting its time to sit down and i need to talk to kofi so i can out reach for the community. Im still in the wild wild west but i want to come to the southeast to try to keep the peace. My name is ace and im not the case. Thank you. Oscar james. Oscar james again now when le nnar came out to the community i was totally, totally against them. Ok. But since kofi has came in there and he brought leshawn theyve done a remarkable job and helping our community and especially the young people in our community, meeting their needs. Thats one of the most important things to me in our community is the young people having the opportunity to do and to bury better themselves than my generation. Kofi and ms. Walker have done a degree tremendous job making sure whatever needs in our community its being met. We still have some problems with them which im going to come up with on the next agenda but you know, when someone is doing good or right and better your community you get behind them 100 and thats what im doing and keep up the good work. Thank you, very much. Thank you mr. James. No more speaker cards. I have one. Is ther
