And bring in site utilities to bring in water and power and sewer and able to cut period time it takes by at least a third and i would be happy to answer specific questions that you may have. I see no questions and we have a b. L. A. Report. Good afternoon chair yee and analist office yes as we talk about on page four of our report , for the Emergency Declaration for 440 turning street the estimated cost of the is 7. 8 million in renovations and legislation calendered for wednesday december 13th budget and it would approve the funding for this project and there are more details presented to that committee and for the emergency shelters mr. Lopez i think comments on the two sights looked at right now that are one at fifth and bryant and one on 13th street that are under the jurisdiction of cal trans and our public works is working on the actual defining the project scope and that the department of homelessness will return in january to the board of january 2018 on the estimates for these projects and the code itself defines an emergency is a sudden unforeseeable and unexpected occurrence which isnt the case with these two Emergency Declarations however they have discretion under the administrative code to declare an emergency and i will want to say and i dont believe it was mentioned in the presentations, its a question has come up about the openendedness of the Emergency Declaration for homeless shelters and my understanding is that the department would what they did . Didnt catch that they did introduce a amendment to the legislation to sunset on february 15th. And we do consider it to be a policy matter for the board. Thank you for your report. So i dont see the amendments in here. Where are the amendments . Does anybody have a copy or is someone that the only thing being requested to be amended . Just for records for those that may not have caught it, this is a further amended in to work being asked to be amended and that says the resolution sunset at the time that the permanent emergency ordinance is enacted or on february 15th, 2018 which ever comes first. Any other questions . I have a question to our city attorney. City attorney mr. Gibner, so this is a resolution effecting the add min code but not amending the addmin code . Thats right. This section of the administrative code authorizes the board of supervisor to declare an emergency by resolution and authorized emergency work in response to that emergency and the amendment that you have before you indicates that the board may be adopted may adopt an ordinance, it wouldnt technically be an emergency ordinance which say special category under the charter but adopt an ordinance amending the administrative code or exemption s to the administrative code and it would be broader you could wave different Competitive Bidding processes by ordinance than by resolution. So this is not an addment to the code it is accessing that section of the add men code. Thats right. That was it . Ok. Any Public Comments on this item . Come on up. You have two whole minutes. Jim San Francisco chamber of commerce i want to thank the mayor and supervisor ronen and we urge them to vote this out unanimous will he and this is something weve worked with the city and various business organizations for some time believe its absolutely necessary unfortunately not just necessary here but probably necessary at this level of the state of california but the state has 20 of the Homeless Population of america supposedly and if we had had a major natural catastrophe or disaster, we would find ways of housing people that are living on the street if it was anybody in this room who was living on the street because an earthquake, there would be emergency housing for us and this will allow your department to move more aggressively and more quickly and perhaps we can urge the state of captain to do the same thing because were not going to solve this problem in San Francisco and we would be trying for decades and weve been doing better jobs for communities but its a long way to go and the state of california so i thank you on behalf of the Business Community the authors of this support and urge support and surgery San Francisco to look more towards sacramento and figure out what would do with this statewide crisis, thank you very much. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . Come on up. If there are other Public Comments just come on up and lineup over here to your right. To your right and my left. Good afternoon im director of programming and ucs managing two shelters sick for single adults with 534 beds and two of the Navigation Centers and were just here to support the resolution if its passing and encouraged the board of supervisors to pass it and we believe that there is need occupancy is don cyst enter lehigh and bad weather is coming so we urge and ask that you consider and pass. Thank you. Hi, good afternoon, my name is holly and i work with the Community Services and currently i am the Program Manager of the entry pilot for the city of San Francisco and so just to talk about housing Homeless People experiencing homelessness in the city and the benefit of them having permanent and benefit them having a place to stay and being stabilized and we see a lot of clients that are coming e turn homeless encampments on people away from our shelters and they come through maybe sometimes midnight, 1 00 in the morning, we dont have the spaces for them and one of the things that is really, really critical about the expansion of shelters is that it goes a long way to helping preserve life and mr. Kazinski spoke about the hepatitis vaccines and most of the work is done at the shelters and its a hub where people get information and its a hub where people get Health Assistance and so many of those people who were vaccinated for the hepatitis as well as this seasons flu, those things happen at a lot of the shelter sites so the expenseing of shelter beds is really crucial. Thank you. Thank you. Good afternoon my name is shy walldrudge im we run largest single adult homeless shelter on fifth and bryant and we have the only 24 hour Dropin Center which this resolution would definitely help is that we constantly have lines and we are at capacity every night and even with the bad weather we appreciate additional help and support with additional beds or Navigation Centers or tents and anything to keep our clients off the streets. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . Seeing none, Public Comments now closed. Mr. Kazisi, question, you mentioned its a go for this year or this winter to open up another thousand beds for temporary shelters and the two you name is about 238. Are we counting those places where some of the changes that opened up it during the winter as part of the thousand or are you thinking that were going to get a few more new places thats never done it before and just build on . This is going to be a combination of efforts including opening up new Navigation Centers, expanding the wilt Shelter Program and those Navigation Centers will be open for years not just the winter. But expanding the winter Shelter Program to get more individuals off the streets and were looking at expanding our master lease Housing Program as well as block leasing housing and our re Housing Programs so this is a multi faceted approach in order to get 1,000 people off the streets as quickly as possible. And then, in a typical, well, with these two examples for instance, in a typical winter, in a year how much do we actually ramp up in regards to again, i guess churches that volunteer to open their doors up in the winter. Yes, so the winter Shelter Program traditionally moves from church to church during the winter and it houses 70 people and during each night and people can stay for seven nights and they can reup their stays if they like to but when we know theres going to be two or three days of severe rainfall we expand and essentially are putting mats on the floors ex and panneding the capacity in of two our larger shelters to serve 50 to 100 people on those nights ok. Thank you, very much. Any questions . Mr. Sheehy. Comments. Yeah, i just wanted to thank mayor lee and the department of housing and the support housing and homelessness and department of public works for their leadership and their commitment to bringing a thousand people off the streets this winter and im honored to cohon or this legislation and we wont house everyone this winter if we dont move quickly so its an important tool to ensure the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing and in nitric which includes the mission beer seeing people on the street and the department of homelessness and many others is limited by the lack of places for people to go and and invest in the city and programs our communities need and i am a co sponsor bays the board should declare shelter emergency and call it what it is and solve it so id like to move this, we may have to amend this first. So should we make a motion to amend. Any objection. I would like to move it as committee report. As amended. Thank you. Thank you. Um, is it ok if i Call Department head up front. Before we discussion. Mr. Kazinski. So you said theres a need of about 1,000 shelter beds and imperativeness is shaved off about four to six months in the process to bring these online. What do you think realistically were looking at in terms of how long it will take to get to 1,000 . To be able to get a thousand people off the streets well the goal is essentially talking about shelter beds and Navigation Centers . Were talking about shelter beds and Navigation Centers and additional rapid housing and permanent housing as well so its a combination of interventions as well as expanding the winter shelter system and our goal is to make that happen by march 21st and the end of the winter if were not able to achieve that goal we should be able to soon there after were pursueing a wide variety of sights and programs to achieve this goal. And you said it says in here 58 of the Homeless Population about 40 4 00 400 people were un sheltered and what you are thinking in terms longterm, longer Term Solutions passes a thousand in terms of the number of shelter beds needed in the city. We clearly need shelter breeds but we need tokes panned the shelter system at the same time were expanding to housing because creating a shelter is essentially not providing exits for people in those shelters means when those beds get filled up people arent going to flow through the system so our approach has been multifaceted for example were experimenting at 1515 south and the new Navigation Center with temporary housing subsidiaries for individuals who are in that Navigation Center and are working or looking for work that can get in to the Housing Market on their own but might need existence and expanding the homeward mound to connect people to friends and family members and other communities and were expanding permanent supporting housing and new units of permanent housing adults and families experiencing homelessness and opening up during the next five years. Was there a time period in San Franciscos history that we had a larger number of shelter beds is this pretty much constant the number that we have now have we shrunk that number, is that the appropriate number for San Francisco . They have been growing overtime if you combined Navigation Centers stabilization units, conventional shelters and family shelters and theyve been transitional housing have been expanding slowly over the time for the past ten years the only shelter that was closed and i could be wrong and i believe there was a shelter at mission rock which was a large shelter open temporarily during el nino that was shut down and other than that the system has been expanding and i think we need to continue expanding that along with expanding Resource Centers and recognizing that while theres people on the streets we need to both meet individuals, meet to try to address on longterm goal getting people out of homelessness in to housing and we need to continue expanding the system to meet the needs of the people on the street and the mayors vision and it talks about balancing those two things in order to again deal with peoples immediate needs but not have them get stuck in to shelter when theyre not able to find exits and their homelessness. You didnt say much about 440 turning street but its your new office . Thats correctioner i believe its the next item on the agenda got it. No more questions on this item. I just would like to say that number one, they could always do better by also want to commend our citys effort as you look at the stats throughout the state that every year its gotten worse. We pretty much remain stable which is really a statement to our efforts and hopefully well in the future years actually reduce that number before we take a vote on this item id like to add my name as a co sponsors is that ok . So theres been a motion. Me too. Add my name as well. Please. I guess if everybodys name on there the motion passes. [laughter] madam, item number 2. Item number 2 resolution declaring an emergency and authorizeing the direct offer public works to construct an access point to front door services, Case Management and Mental Health counseling to individual effected by homelessness at the department of homelessness and support of housing property 440turk street. Ok, we have director kzinski for department of homelessness and edgar lopez to present on this item. Good afternoon, tempt of homelessness and support i have housing to discuss the Emergency Declaration related to the property of 440turke street and wed like to talk first of all about the proposed use of the site at 440 turk street and it will be the Head Quarters of the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing and office space for 105h. S. H. Staff which is not all but the majority of our staff and thank you so some excellent design work by public works and weve been able to design the site to accommodate everybody we need to and well be active monday through friday 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. Roughly and as the first floor to make this in to a Resource Center primarily a services focus site and after getting feedback from the community that we have changed how were going to use the facility and again it will be primarily our main offices however theres an access point on the first floor of the building and meaning anybody who is experiencing homelessness and that wants to get in to our data system and wants to get assessed and enter inside to our coordinated entry system that will direct people towards Shelter Housing and services will come in and make an appointment and speak with a case manager on site. Also, on the first floor as many of you know, h. S. H. Runs the Homeward Bound Program which helps people get reconnected to family and friends and other communities and we have eight or nine staff in that program where they will be officeed on the first floor so we will have clients coming in to the site and we have seats for about 30 to 40 people which is maybe a little bit more than we need but we want to make sure people arent loitering out in front of the building and again the site will be open 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. We have not decided definitely but well likely also be open on saturday and sunday so we can still provide people access to our coordinated entry system and this is not going to be a Resource Center or a drop in center where people can come in and hangout for a few hours and get food its a place where come in and get services and that is our available on the site and leave and i believe that any office that is run by the department of homelessness and support i have Housing Needs to be welcome and to people that are experiencing homelessness and we will try to create that environment at our Head Quarters and as you know the site was currently built in 1984 and it was a Housing Authority report and it has 25,500 square feet on two floors with the basements and an elevator and its attached to 430 turk street and it was a residential Apartment Building owned by a tndc so we will be in a Office Condominium because the building is one been it was approved by the board of supervisors and hud at a cost of 5 million. Currently it has many shared Building Systems and the building of 430 turk with four stair heating and windows and no central air and it is a fairly open floor plan with design challenges with public works has done some great work and theres a lot of columns and walls that we cannot
