Prevent institutionalization. The modification we are requesting today for the provision of the monthly subsidies and moverelated costs for Public Guardian and conservators. Under the department of aging and Adult Services the office serves at the courtappointed conservator of vulnerable individuals and estates. Due to declining health, some of these individuals are marginally housed for prolonged periods of time while waiting for appropriate housing option. This funding will be used to help them attain or be placed in a safe and stable home such as assisted living, supported housing or similar housing. Those served must meet the c. L. F. And pg criteria. We will provide administration while the p. G. Office is Program Support including Case Management, in person visits, monthly approval of the housing subsidies and other activities to ensure the equitable access and appropriate use of the funds. The p. G. Office will prioritize access based on the conserveties need and the amount will be set okays by case base on the casebycase basis. The subsidy will range depending on the clients need, functional and financial. 30 to 50 of their income while others may be subsidized up to 100 due to lack of income or resources available. Based on the current need the p. G. Has identified for this funding, the fund can cover up to 10 conserveties annually. It will include monthly subsidies and moverelated cost and security deposits, moving boxes, packing and transportation for the move and furniture and other similar items. At this time i would be happy to answer questions from commissioners. I have one question. From the time the process begins for the individual until it is approved and the individual begins to get services, how much time does that normally take . Depending on where they are, we have entered into agreements with the facilities or supportive housing. If that is in place it could be very quick, within, i would say, less than a month. I would say two to four weeks. Then additional time may be required if vendor agreements havent been set yet. Thank you. Any other comments . A question on the operating expense details. The consultants, line 21. Appendix page b1, page 3, line 21. The contractor. Yes, at this time because this is a pilot program, c. L. F. May need to pull in a temporary staff to get this up and running. There is some funding allocated to allow that. Then as you can see on the next year, it is blank because by then we participate there will be an actual staff. Over the page, the purchase of service detail. 304,348 each year. What are they . That is the actual subsidy, the funding for the subsidies and the moverelated costs. Thank you. I have two questions. First should i consider the c. L. F. Similar to purchases services and Case Management. Are those similar in nature like a pace program. Should i think of c. L. F. Like a pace program . I think it would be similar. Of course, pace has something other. I think there are elements, the purchase of service dollars. Other than that, no, this is intensive Case Management to help people who are at risk of institutionalization to come out and live in the community, the community can mean in this case assisted living, but generally living in the community in San Francisco. We have found that the intensive Case Management is often what people need to stay at home safely. I want to add i it is the pay or of last resort. Any other comments or questions from the commission . Any comments or questions from the public. Hearing none, may i have a motion to approve. So moved. Second. Further comment . All in favor . Any opposed. Thank you the motion carries. Item j2019 through june 30, 2021 an additional amount of 200,000 plus 10 continuing been see for a total amount not to exceed 1 million. This item before you was an ad back. It is 100,000 per year ongoing with the idea of supporting cantonese language capacity in Advocacy Services around the Skilled Nursing facilities and assisted living facilities. We are going to do that in cooperation with the ombudsman who are going to use this funding to hire a contonies speaking staff person to focus on that. Ombudsmen provide services. They are known for responding to complaints by residents. They do a number of other things, providing consultations to facilities, families, residents, letting them know about their rights and things like that. Wit to any advance healthcare directives completed in a sniff. That is a legal requirements. Also including legislative hearings and changes in regulations and practices in this area. This is going to focus on skilled nurses facilities. Much of the work is with clients. They will also focus time on outreach and educational presentations within the facilities and within the target population to try to increase awareness and accessing of Ombudsman Services. Beyond the cantonese capacity that will be increased here, the program itself has a pretty good language capacity including mandarin, spanish and french and japanese. Thank you very much. Any questions or comments . A quick one. Within all of this on page 7 of 8. There is the designated community focal point. Is that where it is advertised. If you go there, people would hear about it and be able to know . The focal points are age and disability resource centers. California department of aging wants to make sure that when we do our big area plan we designate community focal points. These are places where hubs where information can be given out about the variety of services available. The California Department of aging wants us to make sure we identify those focal points in our contract documents with every contract that involves cda funding. The idea is here and it will be clear that the Ombudsman Program will say these people are out there. Yes, first the ombudsman can reach out to be sure they are aware of the services. We are also making sure the agencies are aware of the Ombudsman Service should someone come into that site needing assistance related to the facility. The idea is that the sites would know about that. They are informed and could helped. Thank you. Yes on the subcontractors 9 and 10. Chinese mandarin specialists. The other one is another dialect. Why is there a difference of 28,000 versus 16,000 . Is that because of the number of hours or what . Yes, the number of hours. What this represents back here is that the Ombudsman Program is doing whatever they can to get language capacity and get qualified people working for them. Sometimes there are people excellent ombudsman staff who have other things going on not looking for a fulltime job. Benson has done well to work with those folks to keep them in his stable of staff out there in the community so that is the difference there. Thank you. Any other comments or questions .

Thank you the motion carrieds. Next is to all right. Item 8.

Good morning, commissioners and executive director. I am the director of the Richmond Senior center.

The Richmond Senior center in partnership with the round table, a coalition of senior agencies are going to be hosting one hard thing. That is an event we started with our village to recruit neighborhood volunteers to send them in pairs of two or three to the homes of seniors who have requested help with one hard thing. We did it twice a year at the start and the end of daylight savings time. It started with setting back clocks. Then additionally doing Something Like flipping a mattress or cleaning out behind the fridge or changing the Smoke Detector battery, those things that help people remain in their homes. It is so popular we do it quarterly. We wanted to host an event this october that encouraged leadership of agencies that serve seniors so they could see some of the great work other agencies are doing and meet the senior in the community. I did send an insight and you should get an email. We would love you to join us to see the good work that is happening out there. Thank you very much. Any other announcements . May i have a motion to adjourn. Motion. Second. We are adjourned. Thank you all. Hi. My name is carmen chiu, San Franciscos elected assessor. When i meet with seniors in the community, theyre thinking about the future. Some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood thats closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. Thats why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. So how does this work . Prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. Under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2 growth a year. But when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. Compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. Thats where prop 60 comes in. Prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. Remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the Property Value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. If you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. This means that if your existing home is worth 1 million in market value, your new home must be 1 million or below. If youre looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105 of your exist egging home. Which means if you sell your old home for 1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than 1. 15 million. If you sell your existing home at 1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than 1. 1 million. Know that your ability to participate in this Program Expires after two years. You will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. So benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. Just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. For more, visit our website, sfassessor. Org,.

Is a nonprofessional organization. We use sports, soccer in particular to engage communities that can benefit from quality programs in order to lift people up, helping to regain a sense of control in ones life. The San Francisco recreation and Park Department and street soccer u. S. A. Have been partners now for nearly a decade. Street soccer shares our mission in using sport as a vehicle for Youth Development and for reaching people of all ages. Rec and park has a team. Im been playing soccer all my life. Soccer is my life. I played in the streets when i was a kid. And i loved soccer back home. I joined street soccer here. It was the best club to join. It helps me out. The tenderloin soccer club started in the summer of 2016. We put one of our mini soccer pitches in one of our facilities there. The kids who kpriez the club team came out to utilize that space, and it was beautiful because they used it as an opportunity to express themselves in a place where they were free to do so, and it was a safe space, in a neighborhood that really isnt the most hospitalable to youth hospitable to youth playing in the streets. One day, i saw the coach and my friends because they went there to join the team before me. So i went up to the coach and asked, and they said oh, ive got a soccer team, and i joined, and they said yeah, it was he for everybody, and i joined, and it was the best experience ever. A lot of our programs, the kids are in the process of achieving citizenship. Its a pretty lengthy process. Here, i am the only one with my dad. We were in the housing program, and we are trying to find housing. My sister, shes in my country, so i realize that i have a lot of opportunities here for getting good education to help her, you know . Yeah. Thats the one of the most important things that challenge me. My dad was over here, making some money because there was not a lot of jobs back home. I came here, finish elementary in San Francisco. After that, i used to go back to my country, go to yemen, my country, and then back here. Last time i went back was a couple years ago. I came here six months, i know nobody. Now i have the team has a family, the coaches. Amazing. Im hoping for lifelong friendships, and im super inspired by what theyve been able to achieve and want to continue to grow alongside them. I love my family, i love my team. Theyre just like a family. Its really nice. Street soccer just received a five year grant from the department of children, youth and family, and this is an important inreflection point for street soccer u. S. A. Because their work in our most important communities is now known beyond just San Francisco recreation and Park Department, and together, were going to continue to work with our citys most vulnerable kids and teach them to love the beautiful game. I want to tell everybody back home, i hope you all make it over here and join teams like this like street soccer u. S. A. , and live your life. Get a better life.
