SFGTV Mayors Press Availability July 13, 2024

But more importantly to help the people that we know are struggling on the streets exit homelessness. We have seven Navigation Centers in San Francisco with a few more on the way. I am really excited what we are going to be doing. At the end of the day, lets be chair clear. It clear. It is that we need permanent housing for people who are exiting homelessness. Today we are well on our way to meeting the goal that i set of 1,000 shelter beds by 2020. This brings us to 566, and we have an additional 224 beds in the pipeline and the Bayview Hunters Point Community with ththe safe center. I want to take this opportunity because, you know, it is easy to say we want to do something, but sometimes it is harder to do it. In this case it was challenges, but it did take a village. That consists of partner the state to the local to the community levels. I want to start with senator scott weiner for passing the legislation to streamline the construction of Navigation Centers across the state so people experiencing homelessness throughout california have reasonable access to shelter. People ask how did you get this built so fast despite a number of obstacles . It had everything to do with the legislation scott weiner helped to pass in sacramento. Thank you to assembly man phil king because time and time again as someone who has been the chair of the Budget Committee in sacramento he prioritized not only San Francisco for a lot of resources but especially focusing on homelessness and Navigation Center. Because of his work, San Francisco has seen additional revenue to help support and move these projects forward faster. In fact, with his leadership, the state has invested 500 million to address homelessness in 2018 and 650 million in 2019. To be clear that is said wide. San francisco got a decent chung of that support. Thank you to supervisor haney for helping engage the community. I especially want to thank the neighbors of south beach. I know thi this this hasn hasn. We are committed to making sure that we fulfill the promises around safety and other challenges that people were so concerned about. We appreciate the work of the Advisory Group and the folks who have dedicated a lot of personal time to seeing this place succeed. Thank you to the port of San Francisco and the commissioners, president brandon is joining us today. Thank you for your work in allowing the opportunity for the Navigation Center to be from this location. We are grateful, we are excited. We know that this wont solve all of the challenges we have with homelessness in San Francisco, but it will help a significant number of people who we know need support and services. I also want to thank five keys. They will manage the Navigation Center. They have a lot of great experiences with helping people who are involved with the criminal Justice System Reenter Society and be successful, and we are grateful for their leadership, work in the programs and opportunities that they will provide to the people that we want to serve. Ultimately this is about helping people not only off the streets but helping them into housing, helping them with opportunities to succeed in life. So we are grateful for their work. Now, i want to take this opportunity to introduce our state senator scott weiner. [applause] thank you, mayor. I want to thank and commend mayor breed and supervisor haney for standing their ground to make sure that this Navigation Center could open. As a former local elected official in San Francisco, i understand first hand what it is like when you have neighbors who have significant concern and fear about changes that are happening in their neighborhood. That is very intense, her hard. It is very hard. I want to thank them for looking at the big picture and the reality this will make the neighborhood safer and more livable in addition to helping many homeless in San Francisco transition to a better and healthier future. Thank you. When you look at the situation at homelessness in california, it is pretty stark. We have well over 100,000 Homeless People in the state. I think it is 130,000. A large majority of homeless residents in the bay area and los angeles are not sheltered, and this is not normal. What is happening in california and in San Francisco and the bay area around homelessness is not normal. This is not how it plays out in the rest of the country where far, far fewer people are homeless to begin with because they have enough housing for people, unlike in california where we have systematically made it impossible through rezoning and other means made it impossible to build enough housing for the people that need it. Our housing has collapsed by 75 as the population has tripled. We made a decision as a state that housing was not important, and what has that led to . Many problems with people pushed out of the state and evictions happening. It has pushed over 100,000 people to homelessness in the state of california. That is because of choices that we made here in california. It is not normal for it to be so difficult to build a Navigation Center. It should not take years to provide shelter and housing and services for people in dire straits living on the streets. That should be something we can do immediately because we are in a crisis. We have been working at the state level to support San Francisco and other local communities to make it faster and more streamlined, to create Navigation Centers in support of housing. I know we have all been working on that to pass legislation to streamline the process. Wwe are working to reform the california approach to housing because Navigation Centers are an incredible way to help people transition off the streets. If you dont have housing for people to end up in, they will cycle back to the streets. We are working at the state level to solve these problems, and it is hard and controversial. It violates how we are supposed to do things in california. That way hasnt worked and driven the car into the ditch. We have to fix things. Thank you, mayor, and everyone e else who made this happen today. [applause] mayor breed thank you senator wiener. Now we have remarks from senator phil clean wh king who helped gs Navigation Center built. Thank you, madam mayor. As the mayor and senator weiner have said. We know the solution to homelessness. We need more Affordable Housing, more supportive services, but, ultimately, it takes courage at all levels of government to make it happen. We are trying to do our part at the state level. We have colleagues that dont feel completely on the same page with myself and senator wiener with making sure we are building more housing. We have challenges at the state level. Mayor breed and supervisor haney have challenges. Iit is not easy to stand in frot of 300 people and talk about homelessness and bringing Navigation Centers to a neighborhood that has not had them. It takes courage and guts and the city has to support them. If we dont get these centers built, there is no on ramp to housing. This is the third Navigation Center i have had the honor of standing with mayor breed as we opened them. They are the first step. The next step has to be, as she said, permanent Supportive Housing. Everybody is for housing, but in someone elses neighborhood, in someone elses city. I cant tell you how often i hear lets build a Homeless Center in stockton. Lets make it someone elses problem. Lets not solve the San Francisco problem here. Ship them somewhere else. That is not what the city and state is about, and that is not what leadership is about. Leadership is about taking a problem on and solving it here. We are the fifth richest economy in the world, california is. You wouldnt know it by many of the issues we have. This is not a financial issue. This is not an issue of money or resources. The state is doing their part to help cities and counties. This is about our residents saying we are each going to sacrifice. We are each going to take a piece of this problem and solve it here. We are not going to wait for someone to save us or hope that someone else will take this burden. This is about having the courage to say this is a San Francisco problem and San Francisco needs to solve it. I am so proud to be here with all of the other city officials who had the guts to get this built, to work with the community and to say this community is safer, not by having people on the streets sleeping, not by having people in tents sleeping here, wandering around here. This community is safer when they have services, when we can get them the resources they need to go improve their life. As the mayor said we are proud at the state level 4 million from the state helped this get built. 70 million from the state to San Franciscos general fund to help with homelessness over the last two years, and this is something we can only dubai workinonly do while we work t. I applaud you for having the guts to get this done. Thank you. Thank you, phil king. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the supervisor matt haney for district 6. Thank you, mayor breed. Congratulations for your leadership, for your staff who we got to work with so closely in making this happen. I especially want be to recognize jeff and emily from the department of homelessness. You all did such a wonderful job listening to the community, working with us. We went to dozens of meetings together. I am looking at emily and hearing the feedback and using that to adapt the proposal and make commitments to the neighborhood. Thank you all for that and for listening. I want to thank our elected officials in sacramento, senator wiener and Assembly Member king. We are lucky to have advocating for us, bringing Home Resource goes to help us address what is definitely the biggest crisis not just in San Francisco but facing our state. One of the things that i think that we can agree on is that it is a really cold day right now. Being out here on a cold day, i think, it is a reminder, a sharp reminder of the fact there are thousands of people on the streets who dont have a home to go to, dont have a warm bed or a place when it is pouring rain or below 40 that they can go inside to be warm and safe. One of the things you will notice when you go inside here is the difference between how it feels out here and how it feels in there. Even just having a place where you can be warm, where you can be safe, where you can be away from the madness and the dangers that people face who live on our streets is such a huge and critical and essential thing. When people get to be inside and not have to worry where they are going to sleep tonight or tomorrow night and be able to Access Services and have Case Management and have one work with them to figure out how to get off the street permanently is a huge and wonderful thing for us to celebrate today. One of th the things about Navigation Centers. They make a commitment to the neighborhood. Navigation centers make the neighborhood safer, they improve conditions on the streets here. As we make this commitment to people to live inside this Navigation Center we make a commitment to the People Living in the surrounding community on the water front and south beach this will reduce the number of People Living on the streets. We have a lot of work to do for the people who come in here, the people in the neighborhood and more work to solve homelessness in the city. Housing is the answer. We know we need a lot more Navigation Center and shelter beds in the city. This is the third Navigation Center in district six. We are excited and happy to do our part. As a city we need every neighborhood to take responsibility for addressing and solving homelessness. I thank five keys, the port and everyone who is a part of getting us this far. We have a long way to go in the city. I am committed to working with you, mayor breed, to make that happen and to everyone in the neighborhood to make sure this Navigation Center is a success. Thank you. [applause] mayor breed i appreciate your remarks. I would like to make it clear that as mayor i am responsible for the entire city. The fact is getting opportunities like this, finding land in San Francisco to do say Navigation Center, to do housing is a huge challenge. Wherever we have an opportunity to get a property like this whether it is here or anyplace else in San Francisco, we will take full advantage of excuse me. We will take advantage of the opportunity to do so. With that, i would like to ask for Community Member matt amy. Excuse me. We will listen to you when we are finished with the press conference, if you dont mind. Thank you. Matt carson, who is a member of this community will provide a few remarks. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak. I dont think i have done anything special to deserve to be here. I just own my home a couple blocks away and work in the neighborhood as well. I walk by this spot with my 2 yearold every day. I am incredibly fortunate to have those things. When i walk unand down the embarcadero i see those less fortunate. It is appalling in the city, region and country with so much that we refuse to guarantee the most basic standard of living. Those sleeping here are living here and they are our neighbors. When the mayor proposed the Navigation Center to help them, i raised my hand to says i support her. I want to raise my kid in a city that helps its people. My neighbors have legitimate concerns. I have seen shattered glass and half stolen bikes. I dont want it to get worse. The mayor and the supervisor and the city promised they will make it better in the neighborhood, not worse. I trust them. If crime does go up they wont build any more Navigation Centers. She does need to build more. This is what a housing crisis looks like. This is 200 beds, but there are thousands of people on the streets in San Francisco. We need more shelters and related services. We need more protection for renters. We need a million homes throughout the region. Our region also needs a single seamless competitive Transit System to have a chance of addressing the housing crisis and climate change. I thank the mayor and everyone involved forgetting this Navigation Center built so quickly. I want to say to all representatives it is time to be way more ambitious. Thank you. [applause] mayor breed i want to take this opportunity to thank muhammad for his leadership in getting this built so quickly. Thank you to deputy chief from the San Francisco police department. We know Public Safety is important to the community. We know that the department has added Additional Resources to help ensure safety in this particular neighborhood. You know, it really did take a village to get this done. So many folks standing behind me and folks from the community. I want to express my sincere appreciation to everyone that has had a hand in helping to get this done. The love and care that you put into even as i just saw the landscaping and the flowers and just making it look like a home and welcoming people in with dignity. That is what our goal is, and to get clearly people to help in the support that they need. This along with other Navigation Centers in the future and eventually more housing faster is going to get us to a better place not just in San Francisco but in this entire state. Thank you all for being here. Now jeff and steve will lead a tour of the Navigation Center for those interested. Thank you. [applause] [ ]plause] homelessness in San Francisco is considered the number 1 issue by most people who live here, and it doesnt just affect Neighbors Without a home, it affects all of us. Is real way to combat that is to work together. It will take city departments and nonprofit providers and volunteers and companies and Community Members all coming together. [ ] the product homeless connect Community Day of Service Began about 15 years ago, and we have had 73 of them. What we do is we host and expostyle event, and we were the very force organization to do this but it worked so well that 250 other cities across the globe host their own. Theres over 120 Navigation Centers<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a> with a few more on the way. I am really excited what we are going to be doing. At the end of the day, lets be chair clear. It clear.

[ ] the product homeless connect Community Day<\/a> of Service Began<\/a> about 15 years ago, and we have had 73 of them. What we do is we host and expostyle event, and we were the very force organization to do this but it worked so well that 250 other cities across the globe host their own. Theres over 120 Service Providers<\/a> at the event today, and they range anywhere from hygiene kits provided by the basics, 5 to prescription glasses and reading glasses, hearing tests, pet sitting, showers, medical services, flu shots, dental care, groceries, so many phenomenal Service Providers<\/a>, and what makes it so unique is we ask that they provide that Service Today<\/a> here it is an actual, tangible Service People<\/a> can leave with it. I am with the hearing and Speech Center<\/a> of northern california, and we provide a variety of Services Including<\/a> audiology, counselling, outreach, education, today we actually just do screening to see if someone has hearing loss. To follow updates when they come into the Speech Center<\/a> and we do a full diagnostic hearing test, and we start the process of taking an impression of their year, deciding on which hearing aid will work best for them. If they have a smart phone, we make sure we get a smart phone that can connect to it, so they can stream phone calls, or use it for any other services that they need. San francisco has phenomenal social services to support people at risk of becoming homeless, are already experience and homelessness, but it is confusing, and there is a lot of waste. Bringing everyone into the same space not only saves an average of 20 hours a week in navigating the system and waiting in line for different areas, it helps them talk, so if you need to sign up for medical, what you need identification, you dont have to go to sacramento or wait in line at a d. M. V. , you go across the hall to the d. M. V. To get your i. D. Today we will probably see around 30 people, and averaging about 20 of this people coming to cs for followup service. For a participant to qualify for services, all they need to do is come to the event. We have a lot of people who are at risk of homelessness but not yet experiencing it, that todays event can ensure they stay house. Many people coming to the event are here to receive one specific need such as signing up for medical or learning about d. M. V. Services, and then of course, most of the people who are tender people experiencing homelessness today. I am the representative for the volunteer central. We are the group that checks and all the volunteers that comment participate each day. On a typical day of service, we have anywhere between 40500 volunteers that we, back in, they get tshirts, nametags, maps, and all the information they need to have a successful event. Our participant escorts are a core part of our group, and they are the ones who help participants flow from the Different Service<\/a> areas and help them find the Different Service<\/a>s that they needs. One of the ways we work closely with the department of homelessness and Supportive Housing<\/a> is by working with Homeless Outreach<\/a> teams. They come here, and these are the people that help you get into Navigation Centers<\/a>, help you get into shortterm shelter, and talk about housing1st policies. We also work very closely with the department of Public Health<\/a> to provide a lot of our services. We have all types of things that volunteers deal do on a day of service. We have folks that help give out lunches in the cafe, we have folks who help with the check in, getting people when they arrive, making sure that they find the services that they need to, we have folks who help in the check out process, to make sure they get their food bag, bag of groceries, together hygiene kit, and whatever they need to. Volunteers, i think of them as the secret sauce that just makes the whole process works smoothly. Participants are encouraged and welcomed to come with their pets. We do have a pet daycare, so if they want to have their pets stay in the daycare area while they navigate the event, they are welcome to do that, will we also understand some people are more comfortable having their pets with them. They can bring them into the event as well. We also typically offer veterinary services, and it can be a real detriment to coming into an event like this. We also have a bag check. You dont have to worry about your belongings getting lost, especially when that is all that you have with you. We get connected with people who knew they had hearing loss, but they didnt know they could get services to help them with their hearing loss picks and we are getting connected with each other to make sure they are getting supported. Our next event will be in march, we dont yet have a date set. We typically sap set it six weeks out. The way to volunteer is to follow our newsletter, follow us on social media, or just visit our website. We always announce it right away, and you can register very easily online. A lot of people see folks experience a homelessness in the city, and they dont know how they can help, and defence like this gives a whole bunch of people a lot of good opportunities to give back and be supported. [ ] good morning, everyone. Hello. I am the site manager here as the new childs development center. [cheers and applause] it gives me so much pleasure to say welcome and thank you for being here today. For braving the rain and making it here anyway. Without further do, i would like to introduce the master of ceremony, she does not need any more introduction. Lets put our hands together and welcome the mayor of the city and county of San Francisco<\/a>, mayor london breed. [cheers and applause] thank you. I am really, really excited to be here. Last year i was able to attend the grand opening of Natalie Graham<\/a> commons and it was absolutely amazing. Some of you know the history of Natalie Grubb<\/a> and the work that she did to help create the Tax Credit Program<\/a> that allows for opportunity to invest in Affordable Housing<\/a> like this one that we are standing in and her family was here. It was a great occasion. 120 families of low income are living in this property as we speak. And today, when we open this preschool, they will be prioritized for the slots in this location, which is absolutely exactly what we should be doing in San Francisco<\/a> how incredible is that . [applause] so im joined here by number of great people and i like to see the young people already playing this place isnt opening until next week, but they decided they wanted to try the place out. That is why they are here today. This new transbay Child Development<\/a> center is a welcome addition to this Community Thanks<\/a> to the citys childcare Facility Fund<\/a> and also, a special thank you to mimi and peter. Mimi here is speak a little bit later. We are so grateful for that Publicprivate Partnership<\/a> that allows for an opportunity to create Amazing Spaces<\/a> like this for our children to grow and to thrive. This is the third Child Development<\/a> center operated by the south of market childcare. So we are appreciative of the work they are doing in this community to provide these opportunities. Highquality childcare, educational services, and free support for families in the south of market neighborhood and throughout San Francisco<\/a> where we know we have so many children and families. I am really excited about the features. You all look at the beautiful colors, the tiny tables with the chairs that none of us fit in, the bathrooms, the play areas, a place that not only is very beautiful, but promotes creativity and has an incredible learning environment. On world childrens day last month, i, along with president of the board of supervisors announced that we in San Francisco<\/a> are launching the child and youth friendly city initiative. We are pledging to be a child friendly city and we want to make sure that young people have a safe and healthy environment to grow and to thrive. It is time we start taking care of young people in all parts of San Francisco<\/a>. It starts with Early Childhood<\/a> education. Ingrid is here who is the director of the Early Childhood<\/a> education for the city and county of San Francisco<\/a>. Thank you for joining us. Earlier this week, under the leadership of president yee, we created a new Stipend Program<\/a> called carers to. 0 to support two support the early educators because we know one of the Biggest Challenges<\/a> we have is recruiting and retaining preschool teachers. I experienced this firsthand when we opened a brandnew childcare facility in west point it was promised to that community and they have such a hard time recruiting preschool teachers. We can do better. We need to do better to support the educators who are educating our children. That is why i am really excited about that program as well. [applause] but we are going to go even further. And next year we will hold a child and youth summit in San Francisco<\/a> to really bring together people and experts and others to begin to have a conversation about how we do a better job as a city with taking care of not just our children, but everybodys children. Other kids who may not have those parents or grandparents or Community Member<\/a>s who are looking out for their best interest. We have to do a better job in investing in kids that often times are neglected and forgotten and not getting the resources that they need and deserve to grow and thrive. This is personal for me as someone who grew up raised by my grandmother in Public Housing<\/a> and have seen the devastating impacts of neglect. So many of the people that i grew up with and it up, unfortunately in very different situations and i should be the norm and not the exception and so we have to commit to now, today to do a better job for our kids and it starts with our summit and the number of investments that we are making to start to support our young people early in their lives. So with that, i want to thank each and every one of you for being here. Thank you to nadine who you will hear from in a minute. The ring the Mayors Office<\/a> of housing and Community Development<\/a> in the office of early care and education. Mercy housing and the architects for this project, santos priest got who was instrumental in this project. It is absolutely beautiful and we are grateful. Thank you for to the contractor. Thank you to make me haas who is joining us here today who is the president of the mimi and p. But peter hoss fund. It does take a village. This village came together to make something magical happened and i am so looking forward to doing more projects like this to change what is normal in San Francisco<\/a>. Having access to affordable child care for all families. Whether you are low or middle income to create to make sure kids have the kind of environments while they grow and thrive. This is just the beginning and i am excited to partner with the next speaker. President with the board of supervisors, norman he, who is ready really like the childcare king. Let me tell you. This man, when we came onto the board of supervisors together and every single instance he had already been the person who had advocated to make sure that with development there were resources for childcare with anything that we were doing, whether it was Holding People<\/a> accountable to think about childcare and how we provide resources for young people, he was at the forefront of those conversations and so i am excited that we have come full circle with the fees from developments being used for purposes like this. That is what is making some of this happen. So we are able to do that with the hardworking leadership from the president president of the board of supervisors. [applause] thank you. I like to think that i play a role in some of the staff and part of it is i am just one person and many of you in this room have been in this battlefield for decades and this is really, to me, the results of all those battles we had over the 40 years i have been involved in this field. I am really thrilled to be here. When i walked through here today , i kept on thinking, every child, every toddler, every preschooler should have the same opportunity and this quality environment. And of course, the south of market childcare is really the ideal organization to operate this. Not only are they won of the best quality Early Education<\/a> organizations in the city, with their commitment to this area, to the south of market area pre sees almost everybody in this room. They have been here for 40 or 50 years and ive worked with them through many of those years and seen them grow and wanting to serve the people who live in this community. Thank you to their organization. And again, mayor breed think a lot of organizations that made this happen pick it really does take a village. I think this village came together from this. One of those important persons that is part of this village is mimi hoss. I really admire her for ongoing, never giving up, support of Early Education<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a> thank you, mimi. [applause] even the kids know that. It has been my lifes work. I work in this field as an educator and also an executive director of one of the larger childcare providers or Early Education<\/a> providers in San Francisco<\/a> for over 15 years. That i have seen, what i have seen over the years is the need to constantly advocate for more resources. Early educators are underpaid and unfortunately the state has not been able to keep up with its investments. As a city, we have invested in creating an entire office of early care and education dedicated millions to sustain our child provider workforce. And most recently as mayor breed mentioned, i really want to commend her for supporting this notion of the program. It is something that i played a role in many years ago in creating the program. And at the time, it was earth shattering for it to happen. It is something that the rest of california followed right after we did it and i was telling a story to somebody, i have forgotten now, but two months ago, i was approached by a young lady, probably under 20 something. She said, hi, i remember you. You were santa when i was in preschool and i said wow. Why would a preschooler remember that . And she said, no, because my mother, joy, told her when she was growing up that it was the program that she was ready to leave the field. And because of that program she stuck it out. I think she is retired now, but she stuck it out for many more years. That is what we need to do in San Francisco<\/a> is support our teachers, our early educators who really are the most important people when it comes to education of our children in San Francisco<\/a>. Thank you very much again. I would like to say that i never get a chance to talk about Early Education<\/a> enough. It is never enough. We are seeing a slight increase in our Young Children<\/a> population number one issue i hear all the time from families and parents is that, you know, Early Education<\/a> is inaccessible and unaffordable in San Francisco<\/a>. Mayor breed and i announced that we were taking the challenge to be truly a child and youth friend friendly city that Centers Children<\/a> at our policy and planning decision. One of the easiest ways to ensure that that every neighborhood, every housing, every project provides adequate space for childcare. I have been around for so long. I could talk about history a lot there was a downtown Childcare Development<\/a> fee or plan that was brought to San Francisco<\/a> over 25 years ago by some of my predecessors on the board of supervisors. And through the years we have realized, if we needed 10, all we got from that was two sense. It was just really inadequate. One of the things i looked at was to increase what we call the childcare fees for development and that helped a little bit. It wasnt enough. That wasnt enough. And in mayor breeds budget this year, we actually put in more funding for childcare facilities and that is why we are able to afford to build these facilities for our children. On the board, every developer knows, any developers here . Every developer knows by now or at least many years ago, if you come into the office about a new development, that they better have the response to how they would address the childcare shortage in San Francisco<\/a>, otherwise dont come into my office. I hope to see more ceremonies like this and i am also hopeful that the initiative will finally be implemented so that families are provided subsidies to cover the high cost of Early Education<\/a> it is something we are waiting for. I am sure we will win in the courts. We will get every low income family off the waiting list. About 2500. We also will help another 2500. I am really, really excited that the dream of having universal Early Education<\/a> will eventually happen. Right, mimi . Yes. This is about investing in the future. What people often dont realize is how much investing in early years of a childs life is really the best way for us to address the social inequities so many that so many of our communities are facing. If you are talking about working upstream, then we must urgently show parental care or prenatal care. Our future really depends on it in this city. This is why the child and Youth Friendly Initiative<\/a> that everyone is talking about is so critical. It is about thinking differently about the way we grow our city. And if we design what with children in mind, we truly design something that is universal universally safe and vibrant for everyone. Imagine early care and education being a basic service for every family regardless of income. Imagine child friendly spaces on every block so youth can safely explore the city . Imagine streets are designed so even a preschooler can go across imagine Housing Units<\/a> like the ones above us, and every development so that families can expand and adapt with their changing needs. The opportunities are endless and i am ecstatic to join mayor breed and organizing the 2020 child and youth summit so to bring together our best partners from the Business Community<\/a> of philanthropy, youth, advocates, parents, and residents to reimagine what San Francisco<\/a> can and should be for the children, youth, and families. Thank you very much. [applause] now i would like to bring up your best supervisor in this district, best just best supervisor, matt haney. Thank you. First of all, speaking of the best, i dont think there has ever been a bigger, more effective champion for Early Childhood<\/a> education then president norman g. Can we give him one more round of applause we from before he was on the school board to when he was on the school board, and now as a supervisor this has been such a huge priority for him. He had about three more pages of things to say. That shows how much leadership he has shown on this. Thank you for your leadership, mayor breed. Not just for the center, but for the larger initiative. Thank you to all of you. Thank you to all of the staff and educators who are here. Thank you for not just this center, but for all of the children that you serve and families that you serve across the south of market neighborhood i am deeply appreciative and know how high quality the services are that you provide to kids and families. I want to thank the families who are here and the kids who are here who are already enjoying what is just a wonderful, beautiful, colorful home for children and families. I cant wait to come in here and see 60 plus kids running around, having fun, learning, being supported and valued and loved. This is what it is all about. This is what every child in our city deserves and i want to put a myth to rest right now, which is when you look around this neighborhood, a lot of what people see are lots of highrises and New Buildings<\/a> and law firms and Tech Companies<\/a> and when you see that, sometimes you dont recognize that this is also a neighborhood of families. This is also a neighborhood of children. This is a residential neighborhood. And in order to have a neighborhood of families and children and residents, you need Early Childhood<\/a> education. And so we believe that we dont only need this center, we need the next building that goes out also have Early Childhood<\/a> education and its building, and we need to plan in a way that plans for families and for kids. So that means not only Early Childhood<\/a> education, we need a an Elementary School<\/a> in this neighborhood as well. We need to start to plan for the future where families are truly valued and that starts with Early Education<\/a> and what were doing here. Soma, transbay, east cut, the hill, whatever you call it is a family neighborhood. It is a neighborhood that values and welcomes children and this is the best possible sign of our collective commitment to doing that. I also want to shout out to the stabilization fund. I also know we are a big part of funding the center and prioritizing Early Childhood<\/a> education. I see my friends from the Community Benefit<\/a> district here as well. As your supervisor, there is nothing more that we can do together with the mayor, with all the Community Partners<\/a> here then think about our youngest, our littlest, and our future. That is what were doing here today. Thank you all for being here today. Thank you for opening this center. Thank you. And now i would like to bring up mimi haas who is the president of the mimi and peter hoss fund for a few remarks. Their generous support made it possible to get this place sooner rather than later. Come on up, mimi. [applause] i am definitely not a public speaker and it wasnt clear that i really was going to make some remarks, but i am honored. We have been involved in Early Childhood<\/a> quality childhood education in San Francisco<\/a> since 1994 and i admit that we keep pushing ahead. We know where we still what we still have to attain in San Francisco<\/a>, but we should take all of you all of you should take credit that it still is one of the best cities in the country for Early Childhood<\/a> education, quality Early Childhood<\/a> education. We always have to add that to it congratulations to all of you. [applause] congratulations to you and your staff. You worked on this for five years. Sometimes it is worth waiting for. This place certainly is and at the same time, keeping the quality at your other two sites which are always some of my favourites to visit. One of the things that we really cant say enough is the commitment that the teachers and the parents make. We cant think the mayor mayor and the supervisors enough to pay our teachers what they deserve. We are a long way from it, but it is just crucial. We cant thank them enough for their commitment and the passion that they gave in this area. So we want to move ahead. Everybody wants to look around, but i think all of you and i think all of you and the mayor for leading us to a better place for quality Early Childhood<\/a> education in San Francisco<\/a>. And thank you for having me here today. I think we are getting more credit than we deserve really. Thank you. [applause] thank you. We really appreciate your support and our familys legacy for giving back so much to San Francisco<\/a>. It really does mean a lot. Not only to have you here, but to have you at the forefront of the fight for Early Childhood<\/a> education. Thank you so much for being here and now i would like to introduce the executive director come on up. [applause] thank you so much. It is really a privilege to be here today with the mayor, matt haney, supervisor norming he, all of you. We are excited, we are thankful. It took us i made this speech five pages but i decided not to say it. It took us five years to build this beautiful school. We applied for and r. S. P. They were reviewing our r. S. P. We are very fortunate that they selected us. This is our dream. It does take a village to build a Child Development<\/a> center. But it does take massive amounts of funding. For the past five years, many of our staff have been writing grants and collecting funds from everywhere that we could to build these beautiful schools. And then our architects. They were experts in building the rooms and regulations of the city. We had several fire inspections. Every inspection was different than the other one. So either delaying the opening of the site. But we are fortunate that we are in San Francisco<\/a>. Norman, mayor, mrs. Hoss, this is a very unique place. One of i have been in here for 40 years. It is our teachers and their wages. We are planning to open the site much earlier but we were not able to find the teachers. We are still not going to be at full capacity. This site has license for 60 children. We were not able to hire the staff that we needed. They are so lucky that they have been with the agency for many years and she came and paid for it. Otherwise we were not here to do this. It was our dream to build a facility like this. And our architect really listened to us, listen to our dreams and hopes for children and they came up with this design and planned it. We are so proud. Sixty children. The majority of them will be here. We will provide quality Early Education<\/a> services. Our staff have already been engaging several weeks with professional Development Even<\/a> before starting. We really care about the quality of our services. We will provide comprehensive Family Resources<\/a> programs so families will have access to various services that our staff provide. I still have to think several people that we are engaging in this process and help us to build this. First off, i already said ingrid and graham. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for the office of community of investment and infrastructure. This was supposed to be a parking space and the commissioners decided that, well , they will try a development. We are very thankful. Mayors office of housing and Community Development<\/a>, john harris, stephen, and brian true. Thank you for all the paperwork that you had to do and you helped us with all of them. Stabilization fund, they were so supportive throughout the process and specially with claudine. The low Income Investment<\/a> fund, they helped us with licensing. That was the last nightmare that we had to deal with to get the license. They helped us a lot. I have to think i know mimi says that they are not much involved, but they are they are very, very involved. To mimi and peter, the charity foundation, the Fremont Group<\/a> foundation for their support and encouragement. Thank you. And thank you to our architects. We couldnt have done this. Thank you for making our dreams possible. Thank you to our staff you have been our support throughout this year to build this facility. Thank you to that board of directors for being there for us as a strong presence and thank you. Thank you. I think i covered everything. It does take a village to build a Child Development<\/a> center. It does take tonnes of money to build a quality Child Development<\/a> center. Thank you tenormin, thank you to match. I want to say one last thing. We are here in the tech capital of San Francisco<\/a>. Salesforce is here, facebook, i dont know, they are opening up a campaign a campus. I hope that there will be a day that our staff will have equal wages and whatever their name is thank you. [applause] thank you. And now for a few words about her experience with her child, clearly who will be a student here at this place. Come on up. She is one of the parents here. Hi, everybody. I am a mom of two and i am thrilled to be here. This is the dream, like everybody else. It is a dream come true. I have been dreaming of this place since i moved here. Since weve become a resident over there, they told me that preschool will going to be here. We have been waiting for this for a long time. It feels like i have been waiting all my life. I have been calling melinda, she is somewhere here. I have been bugging her almost every day. I was calling her and saying, what is happening with the civic opening . I want to know because i want to go back to work, i want to know everything is safe. The next day they said october, and today it is december. I have been calling her so many times and this is so nice. I cant believe i have a second one now. Our older son, after we enrolled him in the same school and different location. You will be transferring here as well. My two boys will be here and i live next door. It could not be any better than this. [applause] thank you so much. Thank you for everybody who worked so hard to open. I am really glad, i hope i am not the only one who is living in this wonderful life. I hope everybody can live in our building and enrolled their child and go back to their work, their regular life as everybody else. As a parent, this is the best thing we can wish for. Thank you to everybody. [applause] thank you. And last before we cut this ribbon and get this place open so we can get out of the way of these kids who need more room to play, i just wanted to do a special presentation to you for your work for the past 15 years, your dedication. [applause] your dedication to being an advocate for Early Childhood<\/a> education, working to support kids and be on the front lines for this. This is often times thankless work. It requires a lot of patience and a lot of hard work to hire people, to review contracts, to apply for dollars, to turn in the paperwork on time. You name it and she does it. She has been doing it with them for the past 15 years and we are so grateful for your service and the work that you have done in the south of market community, but the work we know you will continue to do to be such a blessing to so many people who need childcare that is going to help make a difference in the childs life. So thank you on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco<\/a> [applause] all right. Supervisor haney, president yee, mrs. Haas, and all the others, i think we will cut the ribbon. Will we cut the ribbon . We will cut the ribbon and then we are going to let our kids get back to playing and having a good time. Okay, kids . Yes. Do you want us to get out of your hair . Okay. [laughter] thank you, everyone, for coming. Five, four, three, two, one. [cheers and applause] francisco. My name is fwlend hope i would say on at largescale what all passionate about is peace in the world. It never outdoor 0 me that note everyone will think that is a good i know to be a paefrt. One man said ill upsetting the order of universe i want to do since a good idea not the order of universe but his offered of the universe but the ministry sgan in the room chairing sha harry and grew to be 5 we wanted to preach and teach and act gods love 40 years later i retired having been in the tenderloin most of that 7, 8, 9 some have god drew us into the someplace we became the Network Ministries<\/a> for homeless women escaping prostitution if the months period before i performed Memorial Services<\/a> store produced women that were murdered on the streets of San Francisco<\/a> so i went back to the board and said we say to do something the number one be a safe place for them to live while he worked on changing 4 months later we were given the building in january of 1998 we opened it as a safe house for women escaping prostitution ive seen those counselors women find their strength and their beauty and their wisdom and come to be able to affirmative as the daughters of god and they accepted me and made me, be a part of the their lives. Special things to the women that offered me a chance safe house will forever be a part of the who ive become and you made that possible life didnt get any better than that. Whove would know this look of this girl grown up in atlanta will be working with produced women in San Francisco<\/a> part of the system that has abused and expedited and obtain identified and degraded women for century around the world and still do at the embody the spirits of women that just know they deserve respect and intend to get it. I dont want to just so women younger women become a part of the the Current System<\/a> we need to change the system we dont need to go up the ladder we need to change the corporations we need more women like that and theyre out there. We get have to get to help them. It did take a village. I was really lucky when i was 14 years old to get an internship. The difference that it made for me is i had a job, but there were other people who didnt have a job, who, unfortunately, needed money. And they were shown to commit illegal acts to get money. That is what i want to prevent. [ ] today we are here to officially kick off the first class of opportunities for all. [applause]. Opportunities for all is a program that mayor breed launched in october of 2018. It really was a vision of mayor breed to get to all of the young people in San Francisco<\/a>, but with an intention to focus on young people that have typically not being able to access opportunities such as internships or workbased learning opportunities. Money should never be a barrier to your ability to succeed in life and that is what this program is about. Theres always these conversations about young people not being prepared and not having experience for work and if they dont get an opportunity to work, then they cannot gain the experience that they need. This is really about investing in the future talent pool and getting them the experience that they need. It is good for everyone because down the road we will need future mechanics, future pilots, future bankers, future whatever they may be in any industry. This is the pipe on we need to work with. We need to start developing talent, getting people excited about careers, opening up those pathways and frankly giving opportunities out there that would normally not be presented. [ ] the way that it is organized is there are different points of entry and different ways of engagement for the young person and potential employers. Young people can work in cohorts or in groups and thats really for people that have maybe never had job experience or who are still trying to figure out what they want to do and they can explore. And in the same way, it is open for employers to say, you know what, i dont think we are ready to host an intern yearround are all summer, but that they can open up their doors and do site visits or tours or panels or conversations. And then it runs all the way up to the opportunity for young people to have longterm employment, and work on a project and be part of the employee base. Something new, to get new experience and meet people and then you are getting paid for it you are getting paid for doing that. It is really cool. I starting next week, i will be a freshman. [cheers and applause] two of the things i appreciate about this program was the amazing mentorship in the job experience that i had. I am grateful for this opportunity. Thank you. Something i learned at airbnb is how to network and how important it is to network because it is not only what you know, but also who you know to get far in life. During this program, i learned basic coding languages, had a had to identify the main components and how to network on a corporate level. It is also helping me accumulate my skills all be going towards my College Tuition<\/a> where i will pursue a major in computer science. For myself, being that i am an actual residential realtor, it was great. If anybody wants to buy a house, let me know. Whenever. [applause] it is good. I got you. It was really cool to see the commercial side and think about the process of developing property and Different Things<\/a> that i can explore. Opportunities for all was a great opportunity for all. We were aiming to have 1,000 young people register and we had over 2,000 people register and we were able to place about between 50 and did. We are still getting the final numbers of that. Over several weeks, we were able to have students participate in Investment Banking<\/a> they were able to work with our team, or technology team, our engineering 20 we also gave them lessons around the industry, around financial literacy. There are 32,000 young people ages 16 and 24 living in San Francisco<\/a>. And imagine if we can create an opera skin it just opportunity for all program for every young person that lives in Public Housing<\/a>, Affordable Housing<\/a>, low income communities. It is all up to you to make that happen. We have had really great response from employers and they have been talking about it with other employers, so we have had a lot of interest for next year to have people sign on. We are starting to figure out how to stay connected to those young people and to get prepared to make sure we can get all 2400 or so that registered. We want to give them placement and what it looks like if they get more. Lets be honest, there is always a shortage of good talent in any industry, and so this is a real great career path. For potential sponsors who might be interested in supporting opportunities for all , there is an opportunity to make a difference in our city. This is a really thriving, booming economy, but not for everyone. This is a way to make sure that everyone gets to benefit from the great place that San Francisco<\/a> is and that we are building pathways for folks to be able to stay here and that they feel like they will belong. Just do it. Sign up for it. [ ] good afternoon and welcome to the land use and Transportation Committee<\/a> for today, monday, december 16th, 2019.
