Hello, my name is paulina janita. I am a current pharmacy student and my colleagues are also tuning into the livestream today. Thank you for the opportunity to speak here today and for your time. We would like to ask about this plan and how specifically the Mental HealthCounseling Services and resources are being extended to those in need of it. So specifically, we the logistics of how thats going to happen. And wed also also like to ask how this plan will address the growing cycle artist shortage and how do you anticipate that will affect peoples ability to receive the care under the care act . Thank you so much again for your time. And these are our questions as thank you for your comments today. Lets see, it appears that Ashley Ferguson may have been cut off. So were going to go back to see if they had they had 14 seconds left. Can you hear me. Yes, we can. And you still have Ashley Ferguson. Can you hear me okay . Sorry i wasnt sure if id been cut off or not. So basically, what i was just trying to say was putting a roof over somebodys head is not going to fix the problem. We need to get way more involved. We need to help these people out physically and mentally and im just hoping that San Francisco can get their act together because whats happening is an absolute travesty. So thank you so much. Board of supervisors and dr. Amita for your time. And im hoping and im really praying that what you are doing will actually make a difference because its just horrific whats going on out there. Thank you. Thank you very much for your comments. And were checking to see if there are any other callers in the queue. And there are no more callers in the queue. Public comment is now closed. Any other comments . Colleagues, supervisor mandelman. Well, as you know, as when we came together last time, i, i think theres just a ton of Unanswered Questions about how this is going to work out. I think even probably for our own staff who are tasked with implementing it, theyre sort of stepping into unknown territory. I can see ways in which this program could be helpful, could focus the city, potentially could create a new pathway to conservatorships for people who maybe would otherwise be a challenge to make the case for conservatorship. And maybe this makes it a little bit easier if weve tried to engage with them through care court and that has not worked. I can see it being useful. I can see these alternative pathways for people who are not to get attention on particular folks who may be particularly needy and might somehow not otherwise be getting attention. I can see that potentially being useful, but i think were going to well have to see. I think this committee should ask for a report back. Probably you know, 4 to 6 months in. So probably beginning part of next year and see how were actually using it. If it if it is useful, who it has worked for and how and what kinds of changes we might want in the state legislation around this. So i would ask that or ill make a motion that we continue this hearing to the call of the chair. Great. Can we get a roll call vote on that motion . Yes thank you. And on the motion to continue this item to the call of the chair, vice chair mandelman. Hi mandelman. I member walton walton. I chair. Ronen i. Ronen. I you have three eyes that motion passes unanimously. Madam clerk, do we have any other items on the agenda today . Yes. Just a point of clarification for the many the meeting records for file number two, 309 and 74 regarding the Bayview Vehicle Triage Center at candlestick. Should the minutes reflect that the committee is accepting the recommendation, then yes, it should. Thank you. And that recommends motion was just for the report back to the board by june 2024. Thank you. Theres no additional business ahead of the committee. Wonderful. Thank you so much. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Adjourned.

Say hi. Hi. Whats your favorite . The carrots. The pizza . Im not going to eat the pizza. You like the pizza . They will eat anything. Yeah, well, okay. Sfusds meal program right now is passing out five days worth of meals for monday through friday. The program came about when the shelter in place order came about for San Francisco. We have a lot of students that depend on School Lunches to meet their daily nutritional requirement. We have families that cant take a hit like that because they have to make three meals instead of one meal. For the lunch, we have turkey sandwiches. Right now, we have spaghetti and meat balls, we have chicken enchiladas, and then, we have cereals and fruits and crackers, and then we have the milk. We heard about the school districts, that they didnt know if they were going to be able to provide it, so weve been successful in going to the stores and providing some things. Theyve been helpful, pointing out making sure everybody is wearing masks, making sure theyre staying distant, and everybody is doing their jobs, so thats a great thing when youre working with many kid does. The feedback has been really good. Everybody seems really appreciative. They do request a little bit more variety, which has been hard, trying to find different types of food, but for the most part, everyone seems appreciative. Growing up, i depended on them, as well, so it reminds me of myself growing up. I have kids at home. I have six kids. Im a mother first, so im just so glad to be here. Its so great to be able to help them in such a way because some families have lost their job, some families dont have access to this food, and were just really glad to be for us, we wish we had our queue and we created spaces that are active. Food and drinks. There is a lot for a lot of folks and community. For us, it started back in 1966 and it was a diner and where our ancestors gathered to connect. I think coffee and food is the very fabric of our community as well as we take care of each other. To have a popup in the tenderloin gives it so much meaning. We are always creating impactful meaning of the lives of the people, and once we create a space and focus on the most marginalized, you really include a space for everyone. Coffee is so cultural for many communities and we have coffee of maria inspired by my grandmother from mexico. I have many many memories of sharing coffee with her late at night. So we carry that into everything we do. Currently we are on a journey that is going to open up the first brick and mortar in San Francisco specifically in the tenderloin. We want to stay true to our ancestors in the tenderloin. So we are getting ready for that and getting ready for celebrating our anniversary. It has been well supported and well talked about in our community. Thats why we are pushing it so much because thats how we started. Very active Community Members. They give back to the community. Support trends and give back and give a safe space for all. We also want to let folks know that if they want to be in a safe space, we have a pay it Forward Program that allows 20 to get some funds for someone in need can come and get a cup of coffee, pastry and feel welcomed in our community. To be among our community, you are always welcome here. You dont have to buy anything or get anything, just be here and express yourself and be your authentic self and we will always take care of you. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you. You are right. This is a quiet group. Im going to need these voices to be raised in all of these issues that we have in San Francisco. We need you to be a lot louder and a lot more enthusiastic than that. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Yes, there we are. This is a really really big deal. And you know that because when i did my Youth Commission swearing in, we got sworn in. Mayor, you know how to do a swearing in. And i would like to thank mr. Supervisor ronen, and i am particularly excited because this is where i got my start in public service. To be a San Francisco native, and to be appointed as a Youth Commission is a really big deal. Give yourselves a round of applause. Lets give a round of applause. When i look out at you all and i can say this now because im a father of three and i have got some gray hairs. A lot has changed since i was appointed Youth Commissioner. I see a lot of hope, and i see inspiration because we need your perspective here in San Francisco, especially now. This right here today is an indication of what this city and county looks like. You should be proud as you raise your hand in a few minutes and take this office. Im a San Francisco native. I went to the high school here. Any alum . Today i work as a Public Affair executive for a national Public Affairs firm. I have the honor and privilege to serve as commissioner for three consecutive mayors. My last appointment, mayor breed appointed me to the Human Rights Commission and we worked with every department to be sure it has a mandate for equity issues. I was appointed by the late ed lee and was on the mission structure, with the bay, with the terminal and these are what fell under the office of investment and community infrastructure. My First Commission appointment was the San FranciscoYouth Commission. I was sworn in by mayor gavin newsom where we worked on a myriad of issues to be sure that parents had transparent information and we worked on the muni and the lifeline package. That came from the San FranciscoYouth Commission. I bring up those issues to say that the world, the city hall, San Francisco is your oyster. There is no issue too small or call too big that you cannot handle. I walk the halls today and in my fulltime job im a consultant for a Consulting Firm and i act as a bridge inside city hall and outside city hall. I remind myself that we have important persons here. We have mayor breed, other commissioners and these are all people that you have access to in this building. Im going to end with this before i call mayor breed up. My challenge for you all is to become masters of all of the tangible. There is enough smart people, there is a lot of smart people in San Francisco, but the most successful Public Servants show up, they are present, they are unafraid to speak. They are, i get emotional here because this city, i love this city. Im born and raised in this city particularly during a time right now. One of the most important things that has allowed me to be successful are the relationships. Making sure that the people you see sit next to you as Youth Commissioners, keep these relationships strong because ten years from now, when you are walking the halls, when you are the next mayor of San Francisco, the next supervisor of the department ahead, its going to be the person that sits next to you that you call on for that legislation, or draft policy or make sure our streets are clean. So i want to say thank you. I want to say thank you to mayor breed for inviting me here today. I would like to call you up to do the official oath of office. Mayor london breed thank you, theo and supervisors for showing up for our young people today. In the past, i know gavin newsom was in the basement and i think ed lee was in the focus at the time. When i became mayor, i wanted to be sure that young people like you were a priority. I think this city has spent a lot of time doing a lot of things that often has not led to the kinds of results that you as the next generation of young folks growing up in San Francisco deserve. So one of the first programs that i started when i became mayor was opportunities for all. And let me tell you, for any of you that participate in opportunities for all, well, thank you, at least one or two, but the rest of you are going to need to participate in this program. Why was that important . It was important because when i was growing up in San Francisco, i lived in poverty. So i needed to make money somehow. My grandmother received welfare for us and food stamps and we didnt have the ability to do some of the things i wanted to participate in. I pretended i didnt want to be a cheerleader but i really wanted to be a cheerleader but i couldnt afford the uniform and the travel associated with being a cheerleader. There is an Important Program like that where we provide internships so that money is not a barrier to your desire to do anything you want in life. And the fact that you all are committing your time to the Youth Commission, where you are stepping up to be leaders in this arena, i wanted you to know how important it is not only to me, but to our supervisors who are here, to people like theo who went through this program as a Youth Commissioner and continues to serve in various capacities in the city of San Francisco. These are opportunities. Not just opportunities for you to add something to your college applications, but as theo has said, opportunities, for you to develop very important relationships that could be a part of your lives for the rest of your lives. People that you are going to be working with to push for policy decisions that are important to young people in San Francisco. This is where you learn how to develop those relationships, how to fight for what you want and after the fight is done, the debate happens, you are still friends and show respect for one another because all of you are spending your time being Public Servants that deliver the kind of results that young people of this city need especially after this global pandemic. It has been very difficult. I cant even imagine what you all have gone through where two years of not being able to be in school. I couldnt wait until the first day of school when i was growing up. I couldnt imagine what it would feel like where you could not go into school and the classroom and not look forward to recess or lunchtime and have the friends and have the quality time. I know its so important that we start to have an honest conversation about the impact on our Mental Health to our young people who have experienced the things that you have gone through. You know whats best because you have lived in it and you can provide an opportunity for us as leaders to make decisions that support moving our city forward in a good direction, but more importantly making sure that we are providing the right kind of support and resources for young people all over San Francisco. Now, let me just give you a little bit of what the power of the Youth Commission is. Now, the Youth Commission convinced me to support something i was opposed to. The vote 16 efforts. [ applause ] there were a couple of young people. They came into my office, and then they presented. I was opposed to it. No, you are 18, still live at home, you are not grown. I was opposed to it. These youngster came into my office and they had the data that talked about specifically how young people voting in their age become more actively engaged and showing up to vote. And they said it but not only said it but they had the data in demonstrating how this was more impactful in getting more people to show up and vote. That was after a few minutes i was engaged in this conversation and something i dont do that often but i changed my mind. But i was so proud that they were interested in something they cared about. You mention the card lifeline.
