Item 51 is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to establish the cooperative living opportunities for Mental Health loan fund and the cooperative living opportunities for Mental Health program to finance the acquisition of Residential Properties to be operated as communal housing for people with chronic Mental Illness and Substance Use disorders. President yee supervisor ronen. Supervisor ronen thank you. Colleagues, im so excited this was called early in the meeting, because im not feeling well and may have to step out before the meeting is over, but happy to have the opportunity to speak on this legislation. The legislation before you today will establish the cooperative living opportunities for Mental Health loan fund and program to help address the crisis of people with acute Mental Illness living on the streets of our city. It will enable nonprofit organizations to acquire apartments and singlefamily homes to create scattered site noninstitutional facilitated communal households in which four or five people with chronic illness can share a home. The legislation establishes a fund under the add minute code which can admin code, including the 5 million prioritized by the board and funds allocated from the eraf effort. But also from other sources. They will use the Capital Funds for loans to nonprofits so they can purchase eligible properties. D. P. H. Will determine client eligibility and authorize client placement and will then expand current contracts or issue new ones to enable these nonprofits to provide services to the residents. Much of the Service Funding will be recouped through medical reimbursement. This is in response to within of the glaring gaps in our Mental Health crisis on the streets. A lack of Affordable Housing. D. P. H. Reported at a hearing last month that 44 of homeless clients brought in for acute care leave these shortterm programs without a place to go. Having people go through residential treatment to then be turned on the street with nowhere to go is inhumane and wasteful. Furthermore, we know this model works. Several of the respected Mental Health providers have been operating coop households for years in neighborhoods throughout San Francisco, but until now theyre master leasing most of the units from private owners. Unsurprisingly our current market has made it impossible to hold onto the Housing Stock and to grow the program as a much needed and effective housing option. For many people who are dealing with the combination of psychiatric and addiction issues, the key to stability and success is to be away from hectic surroundings that trigger continued crisis. Cooperative living can open the door to stability. Over the past several weeks my office worked with several people from d. P. H. And kate and amy who helped re to refine the legislation. I want to give a huge thank you to steve, brett, and richard, for sharing your wisdom and experience and shaping this. And of course to amy, who really was the driving force behind this legislation. Thank you so much, amy. And finally to supervisor haney i believe safai, who also cosponsored the legislation. Supervisor haney not yet. Not yet. Sorry. Okay. Thank you for cosponsoring the legislation. President yee same house same call . Without objection this ordinance is passed on First Reading unanimously. Item 52. Resolution to approve the First Amendment of the Grant Agreement between the city and woo yee Children Services to support the implementation of the citywide plan for early care and education for a total amount of 11. 3 million and to extend the grant term through june 30, 2020. President yee without objection, this resolution is adopted unanimously. Item 53, resolution to authorize the Human Services agency to continue its membership in the california welfare information network, cal win with the welfare of client data to authorize an increase Expenditure Authority to 88. 2 million through january 31, 2023. President yee can we take this same house, same call . Without objection, this resolution is adopted unanimously. Please call items 54 through 56. Item 54 through 56, three resolutions that authorize the mayor or her designee to cast an assessment ballot for the property improvement. Item 54, the renewal and expansion for the Civic Center Community district with respect to parcels of property owned by the city. Item 55, for the proposed renewal and expansion of the property and improvement Business District to be named the union square improvement district.

Community benefit district with certain parcels of Real Property owned by the city in each aforementioned district that would be subject to the assessment. President yee can we take these items same house same call . These resolutions are adopted unanimously. Lets go to roll call for introductions. Supervisor walton, youre up to introduce new business. Supervisor walton thank you, i submit. President yee submit. Supervisor brown refer. Supervisor haney sure. Thank you, madame clerk. Today im introducing a resolution in support of a. C. A. 6, the vote act which will give california voters the opportunity to allow automatic restoration of Voting Rights to those on parole, upon completion of a state or federal prison term on the 2020 ballot. It would extend the right to vote a fundamental civil right to those who have paid their debt to society. Our resolution is supported by my colleagues. I want to thank supervisors mandelman, walton, brown, mar, fewer. It was introduced by Assembly Members mccarthy and coauthorizco coauthorico coauthorize by scott wiener. There are 50,000 unable to vote as a result of felony disenfranchisement laws. As we all know, mass incarceration disproportionately impacts communities of color and even when people serve time and exit incarceration, they face barriers finding employment, stable residence and more. Being denied a right to vote is one more barrier to integrating back into the community. This will amend sections 2 and 4 of the constitution to restore Voting Rights upon the completion of their prison term. By eliminating a barrier to voting, this bill will align california with 14 other states and washington d. C. Which have either all restored Voting Rights upon release from prison or have no disenfranchisement laws at all. There has been a lot of momentum in other states. The state of florida which is notorious passed a similar law at the ballot box. I hope california does the same. I want to thank the many advocates who have been working on this and the free to vote coalition, initiate justice, aclu of california, antirecidivism coalition, league of women voters of california and california secretary of state. I hope we can join this coalition as a city of San Francisco and help to get this passed in 2020. The rest i submit. Supervisor mar thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, today im joining with mayor breed to introduce two items, a resolution and ordinance that will affirm and memolize the terms of the plan to fund Free City College over the next decade. Free city college has been a huge success, breaking down barriers to Higher Education for diverse San Francisco residents and rebuilding enrollment in the years of decline. This Ground Breaking program was created in 2016 by the Free City Coalition of organizations representing faculty, students and communities working closely with supervisor jane kim and other leaders. It has served as an important model nationally for tuitionfree Higher Education. As you know, the program was initially funded by mayor lee as a twoyear Pilot Program and due to greater than expected growth, costs exceeded the initial funding allocation. Over the past six months, the Mayors Office and i have worked with city College Leaders and the Free City Coalition to develop a plan to ensure that Free City College is fully funded over the next decade. And to also update and strengthen Program Policies and financial oversight and accountability. Id like to thank mayor breed, her chief of staff and her Senior Education advisor for commitment to Free State College and for all of your work on this plan. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor peskin. Supervisor peskin thank you. Colleagues, a couple of items for introduction today. First, a minor, but significant amendment to the north beach neighborhood commercial district zoning ordinance. That will lengthen the abandonment period for certain vacant store fronts from 18 months to three years. And while it is a very small amendment, the impact is quantifiable and hopefully immediate. My office has determined that it will impact 10 vacant store fronts and make them available for desirable businesses without any need for a conditional use authorization. And this is, i think, precisely the type of edits we should be considering to address the retail i
