Actually, rerefer. Okay. Supervisor preston. Thank you madam clerk. Two items today. Colleagues, first im introduces a resolution urging Governor Newsom and California State Legislature to retain critical funding for the market match program. Market match is a 15 Year Old Program that provides dollar for dollar matching on farm direct fresh fruits and vegetables when purchased through cal fresh benefits. As a practical matter, this means that low income resident of the city who use cal fresh to buy healthy fresh food grown by california farmers and sold at Farmers Markets can have the purchasing power dramatically expanded because of state funds and matching federal dollars. It is really crucial for low income residents and also for the survival of our Farmers Markets in San Francisco. Since the beginning of the pandemic, cal fresh enrollment has grown significantly with californians struggling to afford food for their families. As a result, market match participation has more then tripled. In San Francisco over 130 thousand residents in 104. 500hold houses receive cal fresh benefits lt r last year there was [indiscernible] and of those visitors 15 thousand new customers. This is by all measures a highly successful program. Despite the growing need and clear success of the program, in the january 2024 Budget Proposal Governor Newsom proposed cutting 33. 2 million from the 3 year, 35 Million California Nutrition Incentive Program budget. These are the funds matched by the federal government through the market match program. California has always received the largest federal grant of any state for market match because of the state funding, but without the commitsed state funds in the next fiscal year, market match will not be able to continue past 2024, because the matching federal fundser requires a committed 100 percent match of state funding. Market match is currently available in 9 Farmer Markets in San Francisco, including the fillmore Farmer Market and heart of the city Farmer Market in my district. In fact, the heart of the city Farmer Market already facing challenges due to the relocation from un plaza would be particularly hard hit as it is the largest Farmers Market ebt program in entire state. 2. 5 million in cal fresh spending and estimated 1. 91 million with in market match funding annually. Funds that are now in jeopardize under the governors proposed budget. Losing the funding would be disastrous for San Francisco residents, especially the most marginalized in the community, low income people of color and seniors. As food cost continue to rise, it is more difficult for people and families to afford to eat let alone make healthy food choices. By leveraging the matching amounts, san franciscans are able to purchase more fruits and vegetables make healthier choices and stretch dollars forward. It is my hope a resolution from the board of supervisors will encourage the California State Legislature and governor to take action not to slash this funding to restore those funds and invest in Public Welfare of san franciscans and low income residents across the state. I want to thank cosponsors president peskin and supervisor ronan and want to acknowledge supervisor ronan work on Food Security issues resulting in a resolution back in 2021 on cal fresh and state benefits, and i want to thank the Ecology Center and Many Community members and food justice leaders who reached out to our office to ask us to move forward with this resolution. And secondly colleagues today im introducing a resolution in support of assemby member matt haney bill 2115 which brings california into alignment with federal rules and expand access to methadone. This is priority for department of Public Health and our city and rectify disparities and methadone Treatment Access by enabled clinics to expense 72 hours of methadone when requested removing barriers that currently exist to treatment. This simple change result in smoother continuity of care, treatment engagement and improved rates of recovery. The change to federal law was piloted during the pandemic and research during that time has shown allowing take home doses of methadone made it easier for people to remain in treatment and have better Public Health outcomes. As we all know, our city is facing an unprecedented crisis, 806 people died from fatal overdose last year setting a record for the deadalist year for Drug Overdose in San Francisco. We must do everything in our power to make it easy as possible for people ready and willing to do treatment. This expands the tools to insure people are not falling through the cracks just because they seek treatment at odd hours of the day or on a weekend. I want to thank Assembly Member haney for his work on this crucial bill, also [indiscernible] from the department of Public Health and my cosponsors supervisors melgar, ronan, walton, safai, and
