Colleagues, this is a resolution to allow the Mayors Office of housing to issue tax exempt bonds to assist in the renovation of the gardens. This Housing Development is located in the soma western edition. Frederick douglas gardens is 104unit project that serves lowincome africanamerican and african residents. This Housing Project a couple of years ago, like a lot of our cooperative housing in the Western Addition, fillmore, that was cooperative housing in hud that developed in the late 60s and 70s, a couple of years ago this Housing Project paid off their hud loans. And then the board with zero residents put it on the mls to sell. And we actually found out because someone called us and said, hey, this Housing Development was for sale on the mls. So we actually moved fast to get it back into the city to get it back to make sure they werent going to sell and jeopardize a lot of lowincome africanamericans. These tax credits will allow for new amenities and ada accessible units. Further, no one will be displaced and the project will remany affordable forever. It is so important to stop the displacement of africanamericans in San Francisco. We need to keep fighting to keep people in place. We are losing and have lost too many families. By working collaboratively with our coops, our Africanamerican Community can stay and age gracefully in neighborhoods they have raised and nourished. Our families, elders and youth will have a clean, accessible home for years to come. Thank you. President yee colleagues, can we take this same house, same call .

First up to introduce new business is supervisor safai. Supervisor safai submit. Thank you. Supervisor stefani. Supervisor stefani thank you, madame clerk. I recently held a hearing on Food Insecurity in San Francisco which is a dire and growing problem among lowincome pregnant women and families. Access to food should be a basic human right because its a fundamental human need. Food insecurity is limited or uncertain access to adequate food. It affects every neighborhood and every community in the city. Almost 30,000 San Francisco children live in households earning below the poverty line. 50,000 for a family of four. 12,000 of those live in households earning 22,000. These families are food insecure. Children need adequate nutrition for health, wellbeing and proper brain development. Pregnant women who face Food Insecurity are at high risk for preterm birth. The cost of not being able to eat today can have permanent negative health consequences. Despite the programs available to address the issue, Food Insecurity remains high and continues to rise. In a survey of San Francisco families on wick more than half were food insecure. In the face of this growing problem, its important to prioritize the issue and take stock of all the available resources. As a follow up to the hearing i held, im submitting a request to the Budget Office to do analysis of our current resources in programming and to assess what our departments are doing to track this increasingly important issue, including assessing what data is collected on Food Insecurity and ascertaining what further data we need. Analyzing what other cities are doing. Understanding what the tools the city is using to measure the success our current of our current Food Insecurity programs. And determining what program and resources it would take to make all of our families food insecure. I look forward to the results and for making any changes as needed. Also, colleagues, i want to thank you again for your unanimous support of declaring the nra a domestic terrorist organization. Words i will not shy away from. The resolution as we know is nonbinding, but still calls them out for what they have done to this country. I want to thank the Mayors Office clarifying for the nra what we already know. I want to thank the mayor for her support and taking seriously our sentiments on this subject. Since we passed this resolution, the times reported that the chief lobbyist offered Financial Support for the president s impeachment defense and asked trump to stop the games on gun control legislation. A new Senate Report rio vealed that the revealed that the nra was a foreign asset to russia. Another report revealed that the nra board benefitted insiders. Theyve continued to block the u. S. Senate from taking up house bills on gun reform that will save live, including universal background checks on all gun sales, something that 96 of americans approve of. Today happens to be the twoyear anniversary of the deadliest mass shooting in this country. The Las Vegas Shooting left 58 dead and 422 wounded, not to mention 20,000 who ran for their lives, the hundreds that witnessed death, the ones who attended the dying, who attempted and failed to save lives. Most, if not all of them, will live with ptsd, nightmares and depression. Most of them will never feel safe attending a public event again. It will affect their work lives, their relationships and the way they raise their children. We hear about the 36,000 americans killed by guns every year, but we dont hear about the 100,000 gunshot victims who survive and the family lives that are shattered. We dont hear about the life long complication. We dont hear about those who survive the loss of a loved one. The grieving parents, widows and those left behind. The media rarely reports on the trauma experienced by the witnesses, the emt, the police, the people who clean up the blood. We dont hear about the marriages that crumble, the parents who die of heart attack, suicide. We dont hear about the more mothers who give up their lives to care for an incapacitated child. Gun violence is an epidemic. A monster with tentacles that reach far and wide. It is a Public Health crisis to which our nations leader and many leg
