We learn from our presentation today, really important. Visual accessibility and different formats. And then language and cultural accessibility. I think somebody earlier mentioned that when you are accessing services you also need to have people who provide linguistically, culturally competent services. So people feel welcome and they feel included. This is just an outline of some of our accessibility priorities. We could definitely use your help in identifying any gaps or anything we have not thought of. With the Disability Council could help us with, we are currently in training and organizing. On thursday, july 25, the state of california is partnering with the city on an Implementation Plan workshop on the census. This will be our complete count committee, computing partners. The meeting will be held at the county fair building. From 1115330. As you know, you are all welcome to attend. Please let the office staff know so we can get you registered. We need your partnership. We need to council to advise us on strategies and approaches to reaching the Disability Community. We ask that you and your network and incorporate census into your regular work, just make that a part of your natural outreach. Identify Key Community touch points so that people can get handson assistance, help us identify how outreach gaps and opportunities. Leverage your network. Educate people and then call people to action. We need to work on encouraging residents to complete the online census questionnaires. In closing i wanted to touch on using creativity and imagination what the power of arts, word and images that reflect all of us can have. Starting in the fall we will be be inundated, as i said with repetitive messages about the census coming from the u. S. Census bureau, the state of california, advertisers, organizations, and elected officials. Our San Francisco campaign will use a more creative overlay using arts and images that reflect all of us, everybody in this room. I want to give you a couple of examples of what that might look like. These are actual art exhibits around the city from 2018 and more recently. Courtesy of the San Francisco arts commission, one of our other partners. The inspiration of our Campaign Came from the powerful use of these images, and words, and communications that reflect all of us. The image in the middle is not a photograph. It is a largerthanlife charcoal graphite drawing by an artist named joel daniel phillips. It was an exhibit on displacement of people who might be migrants, our Homeless Population. When you are standing in front of a podium and behind you is a largerthanlife drawing like this, you cannot help but notice it just captured our attention. Imagine that on buildings, billboards, you know, something that says something about our values as san franciscans. Finally, you mightve seen this last one. This is a recent work by a french artist, a 65foot image of an immigrant child. You will notice the two Border Guards on the u. S. Side. A powerful image with a message about our humanity. That is really what we want to reflect in the 2020 census. Thank you again, very much, for inviting us. I will be happy to answer any questions. The final image, for those of you who could not see the image was the border wall, and then there was an oversized drawing of an infant peeking over the edge of the border wall. The previous images were of various multi ethnic individuals, and then a representation, a very detailed drawing of who we would assume would be a homeless person. Very artfully rendered. Thank you for that. All right, do any of the councilmembers like to ask any questions . Just a brief comment. It has been interesting, the comment you had about the third tactic of coming to a home and knocking on a residents door. I live in San Francisco. I know there has been a scare lately with people posing as public work individuals, electric workers and so forth. I think there is a trust issue, especially in my neighborhood. In the bernal hill area, it has been happening quite a bit. You know, places where this has been, people have taken advantage of posing as a service worker, or city worker. I understand, if people dont have access to the internet and theres an issue, and youre trying to get counts. How do you get them into a place to be counted . It is something that, you know, we cannot force people. I understand it is a desire. Just thinking about looking at the northeast, there is a sign Language Group under the u. S. Government sorry, in the Northeast Area of the United States has a person who is skilled for her census county. That is in that region of the United States. I know we dont have that here in San Francisco. Im putting that out as a possible way to get the Deaf Community involved. Especially when you are talking about deafness and immigration status, if thats an individual situation i can be more challenging to involve them in account for various reasons stated. Thank you for your comment. Alex. Thank you for coming. Im not sure if i heard you correctly. Can you tell us how would you reach out to the Homeless Population . Just clarify very good question. The Homeless Population are one of the hardest to count, because the the Census Bureau is not going to recognize their own city council. Although, i think our citys is more accurate. We are going to utilize places for Homeless Individuals where they might go to get their services, could be project homeless connect. The plan is to have a booth there. We are going to be working with our Broad Network of community partners, and Nonprofit Service providers. We also have city departments who identifying natural touch points. If we have caseworkers on their working on something, for an individual, theyre going to encourage them and help them jump online and fill out the form. If you have other ideas, this is why it is important for us to have this conversation. Just trying to think of every opportunity that the city can leverage to get to people. We have our own community ambassadors. People who do the day outreach. I know participating in the census may not be somebodys number one priority when youre trying to survive in the streets , and just figure out where you are going to be, sleep or get some services. You will be survive surprised how many individuals once they understand how the census participation translates to funding, and decisions, and services and support for the things that are important to them. Thank you. Next we have sally. Is the hot team the Homeless Outreach . Is that what you were talking about when you say the hot team . We also have our own team of community ambassadors. Was going to suggest, that the Outreach Team would be a good one because the disabled homeless are apparently not in the shelters. Also, just as a side note, i dont know where i heard this. In texas, there is no funding for the kind of work you are doing. Whereas california makes it a priority. Texas has had rapid growth, i mean, all the people in texas that would be in your position are going to lose out. California does such an excellent job of this, as a whole. San francisco does, as well. Texas is going to lose out on representation and those services because they do not put a priority on it. You are spot on. If you look at california and texas where the majority of our immigrant population is in the country reside, we have 25 of all immigrants live in california. You think about the intent to intimidate individuals from participating. So fearful that they are afraid to fill out a piece of paper with information that frankly the government artie has. That is the intent. We leave people intimidated so they wont be participating. You hear words from our leadership saying you dont matter, you dont count. If youre not a citizen, you are not contributing. Its just so, i think, detrimental to our democracy. You are right we are lucky in california that we have leadership with people who really care about this. We are working right now with a network of cities all over the country that do have large immigrant populations and we are all grappling with the same issues and trying to share resources. One other suggestion i would have for the disabled community, maybe you already do this, is to include the schools of San Francisco unified. Maybe nobody else is getting to them. A lot of kids with disabilities are immigrants in all of these hard to count populations coming at you from all angles it seems like. That is a great suggestion. Not just to see if we can get to the parents of the Service Programs but also in the school curriculum. I think the youth are best ambassadors. We are hoping to start a Youth Ambassador Program for the census. Students teaching other students, and parents, maybe even their teachers about the census. My name is kate williams, i know my question is going to be selfserving. I run an employment program. You mentioned there are Job Opportunities for individuals. My research has shown that most of those jobs are out to in the field which may be a challenge for visually impaired individuals. Since i have you as a captive audience and youre not online, are you aware of a resource where i can find jobs that are not online. They could be available for people who are visually impaired and are not able to drive a car or maneuver throughout neighborhoods. Is there a place where i can find other types of jobs that you would consider hiring . Yes. If you go to the Census Bureaus Job Information section, youre not going to find the information youre looking for. Im just being honest. But, if you will give me your Contact Information i do know the area representative for the u. S. Census bureau who bugs us all the time about do we have people to send to her who are looking for jobs, i would be happy to open up a conversation and forward your name to her. I am so i spoke up. Her name is leah bowden. Thank you. Thank you Council Members. Lets go to staff great are there any questions from a staff this is nicole again. Thank you adrienne pon for coming. Thank you so much for being here. I know you reiterated it in the video, but i just want to say again how critically dependent Adequate Funding is not an accurate count. Im wondering if you can speak for a minute on how we would anticipate, San Francisco in particular would be impacted by some of the funding choices if we do or do not have the that we need. If we have an undercount like we did in 2,000. In the year 2,000 the city was undercounted by an estimated 100,000 people. Which, i forgot with the number was, but at the time, you know, if you look at the current estimate for per person who participated, per capita, each person who participates in the census translates to about 2,000, per person, per year in federal funding that comes to the city and county. Imagine 100,000 people were undercounted. It took us a decade to recover, and get those numbers corrected. That is one of the reasons why this census is so challenging, because it is going to be online. People only get their information this time by being in the Census Bureau master address file. Our San FranciscoPlanning Department has been doing a fantastic job. They submitted over 80,000 unrecorded addresses that were not on the master file of the u. S. Census bureau. They did this in the beginning of 2018. There would be one more opportunity. The other thing that we could use your help on is identifying if you think there are places where our Disability Community resided, but are going to be particularly hard. You know, they are not may be located, they are not registered in our database. They may be an accessory dwelling. Please let us know so that the Planning Department has one more opportunity later once the census kicks off to add those addresses. You absolutely right. It is so easy to miss so many people, in the city, and we figure out a way to have a unified, Citywide Campaign where every San Francisco person feels the urgency, and understands why this is so important to all of us. It is our neighbors, friends, family members. It is everyone that we care about. You dont have someone in your family that has a disability, still a San Francisco resident should care about this community as well. We have a big job to do. If we have an undercount that is going to cut into it, you know the administration already tried to cut into a lot of services earlier this year. Medicaid, cuts and home care services, that kind of support. Imagine if the actual federal dollars that are dependent on a census count get cut. That is further going to be a detrimental situation for our community. Thank you. One final comment, i know we will continue to work on our outreach strategies. As we are talking to our colleagues at the federal level, through the Census Bureau, i just want to make sure we are continually bringing up the need for both having an accessible online version of the senses that is accessible to assistive devices, and also having any asl specific video of the census information. Specifically for folks where english is not the first language, their first language is asl. I would like to pitch to the council that we are going to find resources and create our own San Francisco version of a census video which i would like your advice on how to make that fully accessible. I learned a lot from heather and the council on how to do this. Hope we did okay today. I think we are going to have to customize some things. Also, i would recommend that you contact the city attorneys office. They actually had a Litigation Team working on the citizenship question. You know, its amazing that they would go to bat for all of our people in San Francisco make sure we get a fair count and that we are included. They are not free to litigate. Thank you very much. Can i ask one more question . One more. You mentioned something about an implementation workshop and you said to sign up online. Do you have an address for that . I consented to the staff and they can forward it to you. Just register. If you cant do that, if you just give your name to heather or nicole, and then they can send it over to us, i would just have my staff register you. I thought i had it in my things i announced earlier today, but the actual link is on my document. We will make sure to for that. Any other comments from staff anyone on the bridge line . Hearing none. Anyone in the room for Public Comment . Okay. Thank you, adrienne pon for your presentation. Great information. All right. Running a little bit behind schedule, so lets move on to our third presentation the Affordable Housing bond. Presentation by amy chan of policy and legislative affairs the Mayors Office office of housing and community development. Welcome to the council. Good afternoon cochairs on councilmembers. My name is amy chan, im from the mayor office of housing and community development. Thank you so much for having me present on the Affordable Housing bond that will be going before the voters in november. Im going to go into a presentation that will describe why we need this bond is so badly and what the eligible uses of the funding will be and why we are so excited to have a go to the voters. So, we are incredibly excited to be put in board of supervisors in the mayor to be putting forward a 600 milliondollar general Obligation Bond to the voters in november. it is currently in the legislative process of the board of supervisors, pending two more votes. Once that is completed it will be on the ballot in november. This is really incredible given in 2015, when we had our last housing bond, it was 310 million dollars. The amount has doubled, thats really exciting. We have also talked about putting Affordable Housing in the citys capital plans. We are really planning for Affordable Housing needs as part of our overall city needs and that we are accounting for that every 45 years. When we have expanded the bond proceeds that we are in q4 coming back for the voters to fund the Affordable Housing needs that we have two meet what our residents need. The bond will Fund Acquisition construction improvement, rehabilitation and preservation and repair of Affordable Housing. The bond funding will further our offices work in meeting the need for the population of people that we care about, including persons with disabilities. It would do so by providing the funding that we need to build out all of our new construction Affordable Housing. Those housing projects meet the needs of persons with disabilities through assessable common areas and amenities on all of those sites. Those are include 90 of units that
