Totally against criminal backgrounds on any Affordable Housing or any housing that the agency or the Government Agency doesnt doss bylaw that holds back a lot of people when i was growing up in the 50s they laid out a lot of people in the Hunters Point shipyard and the fathers and the mothers had to go on welfare they were denied the opportunities because their husbands were in the housing because they didnt allow the males to be there so a lot of the kids luckily i wasnt one of them the fathers were not allowed to be in the housing projects because before that our community was prosperous a lot of people but the males were alcoholics from the top of 3 to Market Street a lot of which of them was an item like a light pole because the males didnt center the opportunity to be in the housing so im asking the commissioners to look at that and another thing i want to bring up the certificate of preference i was on a committee with junior the chairperson on joint housing in 1968 when we wrote the certificate of preference guidelines and during the years you know, i wasnt secretary so i didnt know how to file stuff i was going through my papers and ran across a certificate of preference from 968 that was the first certificate of preference throughout the whole city and county so thats the certificate of preference if you had a child that was born a month that was on the lease they got a certificate of perch but the key thing think on that i worked for the agency for 40 years prior to that for years the commission the directors were trying to change Different Things but on like is for example, the grant kids clause what have they have a thing i want to give it to supervisor london breed first and bring a copy to you guys but it says a director or the joint Housing Committee or at that time the impact could have made addendums to bring the im saying for years the commissioners try to get if done and what have they is bring it back in the redevelopment staff will say we havent did it or what have you when governor jerry brown discontinued that none of that transpired i want to bring that so the certificate of preference the grandkids you can put that clause in there some folks dont understand for for example, they had a lot of houses in the center that was torn down those peoples are entitled to the certificate of preference those people are entitled to the certificate of preference i want this the staff to look at this and ill bring the paper and try to give it to supervisor london breed before the next meeting but ill bring you a copy so you know amusement throwing out a bunch of hot air.
