I have a very spor short presentation. Im with the San FranciscoDistrict Attorneys office and my name is dr. Gina castarodriguez and im here to just ask for the approval for the two grants retroactively. And these two grants support november the work of the District Attorneys Office Services division. Supervisor fewer sorry, im trying to sorry, im trying to advance the slide. The work that we do at the Victims Services provision is to support every victim of Violent Crime in San Francisco that we make contact with. Weve been doing this for 40 years. We are in the city charter as the organization that responds to victims of crime. In 2019, we served 8,500 victims of Violent Crime. We paid out 1. 3 million in victims of crime compensation. We provided more than 500 hours of outreach presentations and training. And we had our staff participate in almost 2,500 hours of professional development. The grants that were talking about today, both come from the California Office of Emergency Services. The first is the k. I. Grant. Its an innovative response to working with marginalized victims. For San Francisco we targeted young men of color and those infected by Community Violence in 94100, 94112, and 94114, and 94114. And the reason that we chose those zip code says that our data for the last five years show that we have high incidences of violence and Community Violence in those neighborhoods but lower engagement compared to other districts in San Francisco. So for the last three years we have had advocates that focus primarily on those zip codes and respond and work in the community and partner with the communitybased agencies. In 2019, this grant served 415 victims of crime. The second grant also is a grant for elder abuse. This grant is in the amount of 200,000. We were allowed to target a population of elders that we thought that needed extra services and resources. So we chose to look at elders and independent adults who are a victim of pedestrian accidents and fatalities. And also financial fraud. These are areas that we were underserved in San Francisco prior to this grant. We partner with walk s. F. And vision zero in order to provide these services. It allows us to respond immediately when a person is a victim of a pedestrian accident or a fatality and to begin working with their family immediately. And it also allows us to provide a lot of outreach and education around financial fraud. If you go to our website right now we just released a whole series of videos on covid19 fraud, translated in five different languages. And we are distributing that to agencies that work with elders throughout San Francisco to make them aware of some of the unique financial frauds and scams that are coming out right now due to the covid19 health crisis. In 2019, we served 479 victims of crime through this program and did 22 presentations on both fraud and pedestrian safety. Supervisor fewer is that the end of your presentation . Thats the end, thank you. Supervisor fewer okay. Any comments or questions. Supervisor walton . Superviso . No, im sorry. I thought that your name was in the queue. Im sorry. And i have a question are you doing around any work with blessing scams and in the Chinese Community this is very prevalent. So are you giving any services to these scams and doing any education about it in language and culturally sensitive . Yes, absolutely. So a third of our presentations were done in cantonese and mandarin last year. We do heavy outreach to asianlanguage speaking communities, and in the bayview and, of course, in chinatown. We have created thousands of bags that are translated into four languages that is information about scams and frauds, including the blessing scam. Theres the grocery bags that we hand out when we provide information. And my staff generally target agencies that serve elders with resources like food and, you know, day treatment or day services and they provide their presentations during the lunch hour or during the social hour so they can engage with the Community Members and talk about their specific questions or their specific needs. We also do a lot of outreach events, including all of the street events and a lot of the Community Community fairs that happen throughout the city. And right now that were not able to do those things we have created the videos and those videos are in english, spanish, punjabi, cantonese and tagolig, and currently translating into more languages. Supervisor fewer are you doing it around elder abuse in nursing home facilities . We have not done that. We do partner are partner with the elder Forensic Center and i know that the ombudsman and the Forensic Center do a little work in that but we have not done that. Supervisor fewer do you have plans to expand that . This grant, the grant focuses specifically on these two crime parts but i absolutely would be open to exploring more resources to do that. Right now its just a capacity issue. We serve 9,500 victims of crime last year and i have 20 advocates. So we need many, many more staff and, unfortunately, this is a bad time for that so were trying to prioritize the area where is there are not other resources. Supervisor fewer okay, thank you very much. Theres no daily report on this. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Any members of the public that would like to comment on items 5 and 6 . And if you are in the queue press 1, and 0. Madam clerk. Clerk the operation is checking to see if theres any callers in the queue. Please let us know if there are callers that are ready. Yes, i have one caller ready to speak. I will start the queue. Supervisor fewer welcome caller. You have one question remaining. This is Linda Chapman. Again, i dont really have access to agendas, but since this came up, you know, this is something with which i have very direct experience recently. I have already come to the supervisors two or three times well, three times at least in writing and in present about the elder abuse in the jewish home where i was sent for physical therapy. And where the registered nurse in charge of the night shift arrived at 5 30 in the morning and ripped off my clothes and put her hand on my pubic area and rubbed back and forth several times while talking to herself without donning gloves or turning on the light. So apart from the fact that this is elder abuse, you know, lets think about the health practice, you know, that were concerned about hygiene. And i have very good supports morally from the victims advocate, the d. A. , as well as adult protective services. But neither one of them was able to crack this detective in the special units and to give me practical advice as to what to do. You know, to make him to conduct an investigation. Im a retired federal investigator of civil rights complaints which included, you know, even rape and, you know, Sexual Assault and things of that kind. So i know what the elements of an investigation are. Not only did he not do any of them, but it turned out more recently that when i contacted the unit in the d. A. s office after going to Police Commission and after the Police Commission tried unsuccessfully to get the police chief to investigate this, i learned that the detective had actually eliminated the entire report and all of the evidence and so forth. So i would say that they definitely need to have resources and money in order to help people in nursing homes. I am not your typical person to be in a nursing home. Most of them would be unable, you know, to make a complaint or their families, let alone to pursue this matter as i have done. You have zero questions remaining. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. Now Public Comment is now closed. And ill make a motion to move these two items to the board with a positive recommendation that. We have a roll call vote. Clerk on the motion, supervisor fewer to recommend these two items 5 and 6 to the board. Supervisor walton, walton, aye. Supervisor mandelman. Mandelman, aye. Chair fewer. Fewer, aye. There are three ayes. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. And madam clerk, call item number 7. Clerk item 7, resolution retroactively authorizing the office of the treasurer and Tax Collector to accept and expend a grant in the amount of 250,000 from policylink for the purpose of designing and implementing a National Initiative to reform fines and fees from december 1, 2019, through july 31, 2021. Members to provide Public Comments should call and press 1 and 020 line up to speak. Supervisor fewer thank you very much. We have krista brown. Yes, good morning, supervisors. My name is krista brown and i manage the financial Justice Project in the office of the treasurer. And im here to present for your approval a resolution authorizing the office of the treasurer and Tax Collector to accept and expend a grant in the amount of 250 for policylink. The funding supports the financial Justice Project as we work collaboratively with the National Partners to create a new National Network called the city and counties for fines and fees justice. And since launching the project in 2016, the goal of assessing and reforming fines and fees that have a disproportionate impact on lowincome people and on communities of color, and in the three years since we have been really proud to work with our fellow city departments, with many of you, and with the courts to push forward reforms to more than a dozen fines and fees across our city, and to lift tens of millions of debt off lowincome families in our community. We worked with the San FranciscoPublic Library to relieve overdue fines, and the debts stemming from these fines. And with sfmta to have discounts on fees for lowincome people. And we worked with the sheriff and the mayor to make phone calls free from our county jail. And we worked with many of you and the board and our fellow departments to eliminate many of the administrative fees that are charged to people exiting the criminal justice system, like fees to be fingerprinted, booked into jail or to rent an ankle monitor. Over the course of three years we have found that these fines and fees are often very high paying for lowincome people and causing them a lot of financial distress and very low gain for government, resulting in very few collections or an additional collection cost. And you have worked with the departments to ensure that the reforms that we have advanced are meaningful to the people who need them and are feasible for the departments to implement. And over th
