Mentally ill and also with those with drug and alcohol issues. Ive chosen this field because i believe in helping our fellow man and i believe people have a Second Chance. Ive been doing this work for over 15 years and right now and also im a shop stewart at my work and im representing sciu, 101 and one thing i want to i just want to say that im a San Francisco native. I grew up here and i grew up in the mission. Whats happening to this city right now is outrageous. I dont even recognize whats going on in this city anymore as far as everybodys moving out. Nobody can afford to live here. Its ridiculous. My clients, i cant house my clients anymore. Its sad. They come into my program, we treat them for three months and theyre right back on the streets and guess what, it recycles all over again back to general hospital, back to our program. Its a crazy vicious cycle that need to end. We got 1. 5, thats great. We need the other 1. 5. Were behind on what we need. Its imperative we get this. I want to stress i want to give a special shout out to the young kid thats have come out here to testify and speak their mind, awesome. Im so proud of all of you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. My name is jason and i work with Progress Foundation and i work with those with disabilities and children with severe emotionally disturbances and i think all the people that came out because ive worked indirectly with all of these agencies. We dont do this job on our own. Its a big web of people that help each other and thats why the funding is important because if one of these fall off the planet, that makes a hard job a lot harder. Just an example of one of my coworkers left after two months of working she left to go to a cold youth factory that paid her more, you know. She was a great coworker, but i remember what one of the kids said, a kid barely 12 years old saying you dont give a [bleep] about us. Youre going to leave in two months anyway. She was right. Thats what they say. When hopefulness is seen at that young of an age, it makes everything so hard. Thats just an example of what happens and how important this funding is. I just hope we make awe the right decisions and that we have the ability to continue doing this work and helping the city out. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is erica maybam and im the coordinate of the advisory council. As a state mandated body for those in San Francisco and to make recommendations, much of our capacities have been taken up with the state legislation, but our capacity to advocate for these budget does not reflect the need. Theres exciting amendments for those fund and peace, but that does not address the needs of today. As of june 1, 53 percent of the children on it allows them to provide for their families and early care and quality early care and education prepares children for lifelong success. Cpack is requesting 3 million for infant and toddler subsidies. The last of affordable, license facilities with adequate open space for in San Francisco is jeopardizing the city to support working families. The city must invest in existing facilities in repair capital and developing vat gees for meeting the growing demand for childcare as the city expands and other developments. Cpack is requesting 500,000 for childcare business capacity and support. Childcare centers and Family Childcare operators are apart of the citys fabric of small businesses. The city must invest in stroot gees to sustain our childcare businesses and support the pipeline of new entrepreneur wanting to start a childcare business. Finally, cpack is requesting 150,000 for Leadership Development for early care and education work force. There are over 4,000 individuals in San Francisco. The City Organization program thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is maziac and im with sau coalition. Since 2004, the typical kaiser premium rate for city funding has gone up 143 percent. The rent in San Francisco has gone up by 79 . Consumer inflation is up by 23 . And city funding for non profit is up by 11. 9. A lot of people are coming up here and thanking the mayor for the 1. 5. Im not going to do that. We should have gotten 5 for the last several years. Were trying to make up for the recession and i dont want to blame the entire recession. Its not like the recession is the only reason gaven didnt want to fund. Every year we come in here and ask for money. Not for money in our pockets but we ask for enough money to deal with the out of control cost of the living in San Francisco. So we urge you guys to match the managers 1. 5 percent. This isnt a gift. This is necessary. We urge you to make sure this money gets passed onto the workers. What happens to non profits is when the workers dont get paid, they got to take other jobs and you can make the same amount caring for the mentally disabled as working for starbucks. Why wouldnt you work at starbucks. No stress, no emotional commitment. We urge you to close the loophole to exclude non profit. The next time you see us here, were fight to go make things better and not asking to tread water because when non profit workers goes to the Grocery Store or to the gas station or pay the rent, they cant claim an exemption. The city cannot operate in that way. Thank you, next speaker. Hello, good afternoon, my name is [inaudible]. Youth Services Director with Neighborhood Centers and unfortunately as we heard, as the city prospers with the income, equality is growing. Low income families need more services, housing, food, health, all the social services weve been hearing about. So as you go through this difficult job of delivering over the citys budget, please make the necessary decisions from a social justice perspective to respond in the directs of the need to the family. I urge you to invest in communities and support families in their community. Its an anchor institution under over 50 years providing from early childcare and Senior Services and we all see the identification thats happen nothing the Mission District and the level of inequality thats happening in our community and so and the displacement of families and local bezs and of local businesses and we see the services needed for families and we spoke with our supervisor campos in district 9 for support in Additional Service to meet the needs of families of the most underserved families and being able to do that in a Community Based program. Thank you for your time. Speaker thank you. Next speaker, please. Im here from San Francisco beautiful. Im embarrassed to share with you these images of San Francisco. Im embarrassed that the mayor hasnt fully funded the clean safe and green budget that we asked for. And so i want to show you what San Francisco looks like today. These are all images of San Francisco. Each one of these has a picture of human feces and people urinating. Theres one decision you can make that create new union jobs, that will keep our streets safe, that will increase Community Health and safety, and frankly improve and help civil pride. Were asking you to fund the clean and green safe budget proposal. We need streep sweeper and we need not public streets not full of minds not avoided. Every single neighborhood, every Single Community will be enhanced by this act and it will be creating new jobs so please supervisors, votes for all San Francisco and vote to keep our streets healthy and clean. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, my name is brian goldstein, im a policy analyst on juvenile justice non profit in San Francisco. We have 14 direct Service Programs here in San Francisco for formally incarcerated, justice involved individuals as well as those homeless and other populations. We offer policy analysis. Theyre working to develop a Pilot Employment Program for incarcerated individuals and partnership with the sheriffs department. As a Community BasedService Provider here in the city, serving San Franciscos most vulnerable populations, we have two request for you. We think its essential for the city to increase the cost of giving business rate 2,3 , we hope the city will recognize that non profit needs adequate resources to Fund Programs and staffing considering San Francisco is one of the most expensive cities in the country. Second, we request that you strengthen programs for formally incarcerated individuals. Through the fair chance ordinance which was recently passed, which is San Franciscos band the box ordinance, the city stance poise to provide its population with a Second Chance success. We ask you that invest in Community Based, employment and training programs, specifically 80,000 for funding through the sheriffs department. This represents an investment and an opportunity to best serve all of san franciscans. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisor. Im jackie from hospitality and cochair of the i want to support all the budget justice coalitions Budget Priorities today. And especially the 1. 5 cost of the doing business increase and the 11 million for the house proposal. As you know the need for Homelessness Prevention and subsidies is well documented. Youve heard a lot about it today. Theres daily stories of people being evicted or harassed out of their homes and people are sleeping in dangerous situations suppose as subway tunnels and shelters are full. Our family waiting list is longer than ever, and five weeks street, in homeless hearings youve heard about the sub groups of Homeless People who are struggling. We have met with you and talked about our proposal. It was researched and crafted by more than 20 organizations who are experts in preventing and solving homelessness. And mostly you have agreed that the proposals make sense. So all that is left now is the political well to allocate the funds that we need in the budget to address the housing and homeless crisis. As you also and probably know the chamber of commerce in a recent poll found that housing was a top two issues in San Francisco. Yet only 2 of the citys budget is spent on these issues. You have come through for us in the past. We ask the mayor for the money that we needed and now were coming to you for the rest, so as you know, the budget is a list of priorities and values and we are trusting in you to help us get there. Thank you so much. Thank you, mrs. Jinx. Next speaker. Hello, larry edmond. You know when i first [inaudible] migration in 2009, [inaudible]. Today you can feel it. Its really live and being an lgbt person, theres another group of people who are looking for the homeless poor people because they ask them if theyre male or female so they dont treat them correctly because theyre unidentified gender. I think the budget what it says, i want to read this. It said, mary ed lee, we have a budget fiscal year 2015. Its not up to the board of supervisors to bring it to the finish line. He said his budget is built on three things. San francisco to be safe, safe, and successful. Those are good things that i know people like you all would be able to do this. This other thing, theres a huge opportunity by not invested in efforts to stop displacement. His office carried last year for the homeless prevention. It was almost 1 million displacement creating existing out of the homeless. What it says is basically you all have to do the part for the replacement and then stop this is a horrible thing is to tell the two cities that everyday the residents here, they let the weekend come and tourist visit here, they do not bother the tourist but monday through friday, people are suffering. Its best for you to balance the budget. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Supervisors, my name is benson nadel and im the Program Director of the long Term Budget Program and im a member of the long term coordinating council. Im here to talk about the need and crisis in Long Term Care and institutions in San Francisco. Every time there is a closure, they have to get involved to monitor the closure. Ive been going to universal mound three days a week to see if theres trauma. Individuals living there are scared. They dont know where theyre going. Back in february, a program went into the mission bay which closed and everyone had to be removed from other counties and family members were traumatized. Its now an empty hole. Everyone had to move out. Were having a crisis in Long Term Care. Most of us dont think about it until our relatives or ourselves need it. The future has many different readings, optimism, we need to have them involved in a long term integrated planning and policy services for everyone so they dont have to leave home. Im asking you to expand the living fund to make sure that individuals aging in place in San Francisco are not going to be displaced out of county. This is an imperative, its a category imperative, we need to look to the future for our children, our elderly and i employ you to consider the need for this kind of policy around integrating Long Term Care services. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Nadel. Next speaker. Good afternoon, my name is reo, and im a coordinator. Organization is one of the codevelopers and the Public Housing conversions. Were excited about this opportunity to deepen our relationship with the residents in our neighborhood. And by all appearances, it looks like this approach can be beneficial to the residents and neighbors. But im here to say the advantage thf program are real, but there are only obtainable if we make resident engagement. All parties involves with taking this serious. Public housing and the mayor, and the board of supervisor have all asserted the Community Involvement throughout this process because we know what happens when changes in Public Housing happen without the involvement of the residents. We have seen these mistakes and theres no excuse for failing to learn from them. Everyone has lived up to their commitment to support Real Community engagement and weve seen support from the supervisors, particularly mr. Campos. And the Public Housing residents that we work with like our close ali and weve been reaching out to neighbors in the neighborhood and we tend to bring them into the process and make sure the rat conversion is a strengthening process for the whole community. Everything seems to indicate this time of around, we may be able to make its early and although the intentions are good, good intentions are not enough. We must make programs and the funding that makes them substantial and we ask that youre generous towards the program and keep in mind we can succeed if we have the resources for those mostly impacted. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors avalos. My name is gracy dosy and i have been apart of the movement for the past five years. Ive been apart of the Community Center going on nine years this august. During my years with moon men and they focus on working on youth so the teens can be funded because without the foundation of these programs and the protection and support the youth gets from these programs, theres no hope for the youth. The voices of the youth need to be heard. It needs to be heart and when they open up to people in the Community Center about the programs going on in their life, its a cry for help. So continue funding the Movement Programs and programs like moon men to better our youth for a chance for winning the fight tomorrow. And i would want to i would like to read a statement on behalf of one of our youth. She wrote, moon men gave me an opportunity to speak, and organize especially for those who voices are not loud enough to be heard. Moon mens contribute to my level of rights in ways that i can never repay. To this day, im a moon men youth because if it were not for this program, i would be dead, in the literal sense. And dead in my sxhaert in my mind, i know i am not the only one who feels so passionate about the moon men and i believe moon men has had what is needed to help the youth grow in loving our community and not hurting them. Please consider my story but the future of stories of youth who will one day take care of you. Thank you and that was a statement on behalf of violet. Thank you. Next speaker. Hi, good afternoon. My name is travon smith and im an intern and apart of the movement. As a youth, growing up under non profit organizations such as movements in moon men, i noticed the bond between non profit and those who go to them is beneficial. Our youth deserve to have the access to these programs. Thank you so much. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. Hi, supervisor avalos, although youre in conversation. My name is nicky. I ask that you support our
