Theyre being no questions submitted from the h eligible districts. Supervisor yee welcome madam mayor. Since there are no topics submitted we welcome you to share your remarks. The hon. London breed thank you. Im here to talk about Mental Health. Because i know that we are all frustrated and that we want Real Solutions and we all share a goal to help people who clearly are in crisis on our streets. This is a topic that is too big, too important to play pop ticks with and it does demand that we all Work Together. The universal desire to improve our Behavioral Health system has thursday the our department of publichealth into the public eye. There have been newspaper stories and hearings at the board of supervisors and at our Health Question questioning the departments decisions. I remind you that this is the same department of publichealth that rose to the challenge of combating the h. I. V. Aids epidemic in the 1980s and was the world leader developing new, datadriven publichealth programs that gave people hope. The department and the city came together to help San Franciscos who needed our help the most. Today, we are so very close to getting to zero, a milestone that seems unachievable decades ago. Our Mental Health cry six i want to make sure that i understand and share the frustration and with publichealth, i am committed to getting every person in crisis off the streets and into treatment. I know, that part of that will help with our legislation that supervisor mandelman led on we just had signed into law by our governor. The department of publichealth already serves over 30,000 people through our Behavioral Health system. 30,000 people. These people are on medical and uninsured and some people have healthy sf with the department of publichealth works everyday, to provide quality care for the residents we can know we can do better. Thats why i hired a district offer Mental Health reform to develop Accurate Information and analyze the data to understand what we are doing and what is working and also where we need change. And for the last several months, the doctor and the department of publichealth have been developing comprehensive plans to help the 4,000 people we have identified that are living on our streets who have serious Mental Illness and Substance Use challenges. These San Franciscos are the most visible examples of a Behavioral Health system that is failing the most in need and we can turn this around. And supervisors, i invite you all to join me. Soon, we will we will help as we responded to the h. I. V. Aids crisis decades ago. With conviction, resolve and real change. Supervisors, we need to Work Together. San franciscans deserve that and i know that we may have some policy differences and that were not going to agree on everything but we make the hard choices and Work Together for the good of all residents of the city. We can do that here in these same chambers where the cities most challenging and most important issues are debated on a regular basis. We dont need to go to the ballot. It is a waste of time because we can do what is necessary to move many of the things that we are putting forward right here in this chamber right now and i ask you supervisors to continue to work with me on accomplishing that goal so that we can make the kinds of changes that we know will have a tremendous impact on a crisis that we faced today and we can make a change for future generations to come.

The Buildings Association, the Buildings Association with the social cultural and educational enrichment of japanese americans in San Francisco from 1926 to the present quantifies it for this historic landmark status. Reading the report, specifically with regard to executive act 9006 in which japanese americans all over california were wrongly and injustly imprisoned in concentration camps is impossible not to be reminded of the many shameful aspects of american history. From the beginning a century ago, they took a radical approach to community by providing education to children of japanese, american immigrants who were not allowed to go to school in the United States. Even before construction of the building in 1926, beginning in 1911 they upheld Japanese Culture in San Francisco. Like other japanese Language Schools around the bay, this was more than just a language cool it was a Community Hub and a Gathering Place for those who lived nearby. Since 1911, it has been dedicated to enriching the lives of children, japanese immigrants and Community Members through education. Today, they operate not only as a Language School it also serves to educate the San Francisco and bay area communities will japanese traditions. It continues as mission to teach Japanese Culture broadens the global perspective of members and youth. Today, it remains a hub for japanese together to participate in cultural activities and political events and community organizing. With this strong belief, that it will continue to build on the over 100 years of legacy, im very pleased that this building will be officially recognized as a historic landmark after the passing of these amendments.
