Or the way the residents of sunny dale do, but i do expect everyone to put in the time to understand. I wanted department heading and elected officials to come see for yourselves the hard work that we have to do. Thank you to everyone who joined me today, especially the members of the board of supervisors and we have the president with us, norman yee, thank you so much. [applause. ] thank you for being with us. Supervissupervisor per visor gor and earlier we had supervisor safai, and he had to take off. Why arent you in your seat . You know, today is not just about the investments we are making in our up coming budget, it is about the commitment behind those investments. Commitments to communities like s un nydale for those who have been left behind. San francisco is a city with a heart but we also have to be a city with a memory. A memory not only for the commitments we have kept but also the ones we have failed to keep. For too long our Public Housing communities were one of those failed commitments. We are changing that with our programs where we have rehabilitated over 2500 Public Housing units. [applause. ] and through hope sf, which is revitalizing and france forming communities in hunters view and right here in sunny dale and with the reconstruction of the long overdue transformation of the San FranciscoHousing Authority. We are building and rehabbing housing, creating stronger and healthier communities and investing in the people who live there. We owe it to them to keep our commitment and make a difference for this community and those across the city. With every decision we make, i want to make sure that equity and accountability are at the forefront of our minds. We have to be focused on people in all neighborhoods, like the people who live here, who for too long have been living with broken pipes, mold, infestations, dilapidated conditions. People like breanna, a Third Generation resident. She and her Three Sisters have lived through the conditions you saw today. Despite these challenges, breanna is a leader in her community, and she is fighting for the next generation. She has not given up on this community and we will not give up on you. We have to be accountable to the thousands of residents across the city living in Public Housing and our low income communities. Our budget would be accountable to them both by continuing our work to improve the conditions here and our continued commitment to provide funding to keep thousands of Housing Authority residents secure in their homes. Yes, Joyce Armstrong and happy birthday. Also by recognizing that we need to do more to keep people in these neighborhoods safe and supported. For too long this was not a safe community. Families were torn apart by violence, gunfire, crime, tragedy, frustration. This community has lived with that. That is why i wanted to come here to acknowledge the past, yes, but also to make a commitment to a better and brighter future. To make communities like this safer. It is not just about enforcing the laws to make sure we have more officers on the streets. It is about giving people opportunities and investing in changing peoples lives. [applause. ] it is about interrupting the cycle of violence and despair. That starts with doing more for our young people and so that the next generation can transform their futures. Offering stipends to teachers who commit to teach in Public Schools facing those challenges. And fully funding Free City College so that everyone has a path to higher education. [applause. ] we are expanding Public Health recreation and nutrition programs for kids, including Mental Health services to provide support for kids experiencing trauma so that he can build up their lives and thrive. All of our young people, no matter where they live should have access to the amazing opportunities that this city has to offer. applause . And as we work to support the next generation, we also must do more to help those who sadly are living on our streets. In this budget, we are following through on our commitment to add 1,000 new shelter beds by 2020. We are also using our funding to create 820 new units of permanently supported housing over the next two years. However, reducing homelessness means more than just creating places for people to go. We need to do more to prevent homelessness and keep people housed. That is why we are adding 5 million to increase Homelessness Prevention and diversion efforts. We are fully funding our tenants right to counsel so they have a right to Legal Defense when they are threatened with eviction. We are providing housing for transgender who are 18 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. We are creating a new five Year Pilot Program to provide rental subsidies subsidies for seniors to keep them secure in housing so that rising rents dont force them out of their home in the first place. With these commitments, we can keep people stable, keep them housed and prevent homeless necessary for ever becoming a part of their live. We are helping those with Mental Illness and Substance Use disorder by adding 10 new behavioral 100 new Behavioral Health beds including 50 at San Francisco general for homeless residents with Mental Health challenges and 50 beds for those suffering both Mental Health and Substance Use disorder. [applause. ] combined with the 100 beds we announced earlier this year, that means we are committing to 200 new beds for our most vulnerable residents. There is the most significant expansion of Behavioral Health beds in a generation. And, chief nicholson, we are expanding the emx Emergency Response crew helping those on the streets suffering Mental Health and substance disorder issues. This will provide coverage 24 7 so the city can help people every day of every minute. These are some of the investments we are making to help our residents today. We have to be accountable to the next generation. We have to have vision and not lose sight of what is going to happen to San Francisco 10 and 20 years down the line. We know the crisis on the street is not just about a place for indoors or Mental Healthcare. It is about housing. The costs of housing are too high. We know these challenges did not develop overnight. It wont be fixed overnight. It is going to take fundamental change. Lets start increasing funding for Affordable Housing. I am proud to be working with so many members of the board of supervisors to place a 6 million Affordable Housing bond on this years 600 million Affordable Housing. Thank you, president yee, for working with me on this. It will be on this years ballot. This is the largest Affordable Housing bond in the citys history without raising property taxes. [applause. ] we are providing support not just for low income households and seniors but also for middle income residents. We are increasing investments in the budget to add over 140 million for the production and preservation of Affordable Housing so we can buy moreland, fully fund more projects and preserve our much greater rent control housing stock. [applause. ] all land through this bond our current budget, our previous spending and other efforts over the first year since i have been in office, we have identified 1 billion in new funding to build, preserve and support Affordable Housing. [applause. ] thank you for your help in building housing. This builds on top of the over 900 million that we already have committed to build and support Affordable Housing throughout our city. However, our support for housing cant just be about funding. If we are ever going to make a difference on housing, we have to make changes to how we build housing. We cant fear solutions that make it easier and faster to build housing. If we say we support Affordable Housing, our actions have to follow our values. We have to cut the red tape to barriers not just for some Affordable Housing and not just for some homeless shelters but for all housing for everyone. [applause. ] and was we build we must expandr transportation and infrastructure to support outer neighborhood goes like here in the southwest. Every neighborhood in our city needs better and more reliable access to public transit, and they need better and safer streets. This budget adds 30 million to fund transit operations, including speeding up the purchase of new light rail trains and modernizing the train control system so we see fewer delays in the subways and so that we know that we can get to where we need to more faster and more reliable. applause . We have also added 2. 5 million for vision zero improvement projects to make our streets safer. We have seen too many traffic related deaths on the streets. This funding will help double the pace of the protected bike lane and make the streets safe are for pedestrians on the most dangerous corridors through the capital plan we will spend 130 million over the next two years to improve our roads. This will get you excited. That means fewer potholes. [applause. ] and smoother rides for buses and bicycles and drivers. You are the one who have given us the potholes. We will invest in strengthening the support for cultural centers, libraries, health centers, Public Safety facilities and improving parks and open space. We will also continue to support improvements to making neighborhoods cleaner, safer and more vibrant. We are adding 12 million to our existing cleaning budget to expand our street cleaning in the tenderloin and soma and chinatown. We are fund being 80 more big belly trash cans and adding new pit stops including expanding the hours so people can use the bathroom with dignity. This is on top of 74 million that we spend every year to keep our streets clean and not only are we going to invest money in keeping San Francisco clean, we are all going to make sure people know we wont tolerate dirtying up our streets. We are supporting our plan to hire more Police Officers to get more officers out walking the beats in the neighborhoods and we are going to continue the work to reduce violent crime, property crime and auto breakins in the city. We are committed to 9 million to support Small Businesses and commercial corridors which builds on the work to streamline the bureaucracy that gets in the way of growing businesses. Our Small Business owners should focus on serving customers not navigating the bureaucracy of city hall. These are just some of the priorities we are funding in this budget. I am proud of the investments we are making and proud of the city we are working to build. I really want to thank everyone who put time into helping with this budget including the budget team and budget option director kelly.

We are so proud of wallace. You know, life hasnt been easy for him. He grew up with the violence i talked about earlier. He faced challenging times, including his own challenges with the law. Unlike so many others, we lost to violence or the criminal justice system, wallace worked through all of those challenges. He is now focusing on doing what is right including raising his daughter right here in sunnyda sunnydale. Now, just down the hill from here is a construction site. It is the first new building being constructed here at sunnydale as part of hope sf. It is a bright sign for the future of this incredible community. Wallace is a member of this construction team.

We have to be there for those who have hope, those who need hope, this budget is part of the commitment and represents is very best of our values in this city. By keeping those commitments, we can and we will build a stronger, more resilient San Francisco, a city not just for some, but for all of those in San Francisco.
