A. Level teachers at the School District<\/a> k through 8 through k through 12 is 46,000 plus if you are a School District<\/a> and teaching in an early child you do better than 35 but not 44 those are the was this were paying in San Francisco<\/a> to our teachers that are taking care of the youngest kids and expecting them to do even more as we measure our results more regularly as time goes on a gap we need to move towards our first recommendation in the office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> to develop strategies to support encyclopedias pair did i with the k through 8 staff we cant do it over submitted ive talked with the mayor we need to look at we works and what we can leverage better at the state and federal level then begin to move our teachers to live and work in San Francisco<\/a> the second set of recommendations has to do with with developing a system we have a lot of components that address professional development in San Francisco<\/a> weve got a higher ed component and training and technical assistants want to move toward developing a system that addresses the needs of workforce professionals in particular these who are involved in providing caregiver exempt care that is give by families and friends and is paid for by public dollars well to start to address many instances the next category of care and address the needs of those providers as well as doing more in terms of system building for the school staff and caregiver providers moving to the next slide weve engaged in a pretty comprehensive analysis in the past year one of the things inch set out to do two years ago to look at what we have in the city in terms of revenue how much is it federal and state and how much is local which of the local programs are getting which providers closer to the cost of the providing care this slide with one example of the analysis that we did as you can see we talked earlier about moving towards the minimum level of quality so if you look at the red line on this slide this indicates the total per child annual expense for tier 3 the middle of the Quality Improvement<\/a> system a 5 point system and thats the cost to get and infant provider to tier 3 and as you can see we dont have any providers were making at this point in time so we have significant gaps probably the largest gap with the programs that are contracted our title 5 programs that are serving the total population of the kids didnt we have sixth gaps and how we can move towards addressing those in the next up to this point in time our recommendation in this area is not only to increase the resources you see on the left that is obviously necessary but also restructuring the system we have now to make it simple letter and easier for families to use and determine the funding based on the cost of providing qualify as defined in the system measuring the system with the q r s system driving the investments and organizing the funding to direct services and system supports we now have a number of programs we can give you more information on that if you like to be briefed in the future on the fiscal analysis and streamline the reporting requirements and that we want to integrate all of the systems and link those supports to the quality rating that we mentioned earlier so thats it for our recommendations this plan really, really represents moving to the next level and taking the good experience we have here in San Francisco<\/a> and with our preschool for all program our c was this program and taking it to a point all kids zero to 5 assess the quality we have a office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> crisis in the ac a area one of the things ive done every weekday i look at craigslist for the Early Education<\/a> countless positions open all the time im sure youll hear today staff cannot afford to work and commute and certainly live in San Francisco<\/a> with the was this were paying and not to the point where we can provide quality across the board this is a bicyclist will take a period of time this is the direction our community and our city staff and folks would like to go in. Thank you very much ms. Carson. It is interesting our presentation of strategies very different from what we usually hear in terms of departments coming in and talking about their budgets or strategies just based on the lack of service and how much we need to do what kind of services we should provide and so forth this is unusual because your strategy talks about the people that provide the services and as you may know the services would be the people that provide it here in this case can you say a little bit more about from your point of view why this report has so much emphasis on the people that provide the services. Well, i mean other than kevin about who takes care of of our children in the city a general proposition a lot of research that links qualify to was this and in addition to that you can see from our fiscal analysis that research aside were not getting to the point were passerby providers to provide quality and those we have lots of tools developed over the last 10 or 15 years that measure the cost of quality and make sure we do that analysis careful or carefully but the compensation for staff is tied to research for the past 20 years to quality in terms of the wage gave him as well as elated big gap to get folks who were working with the population of kids were seeing last week to target it a no brainier. Part of my objections and you can confirm is that we know today, the value we know the education from the teachers is very, very important most of us in the room dont know wasnt valuable 10 or 15 years ago. Once upon a time, Early Education<\/a> was Roanoke County<\/a> upon definitely as 70 years ago thats when i started this and to change the culture of how we think about that has taken several decades and the fact that was predominantly and still predominantly provided by a woman so the salaries you know as we know when a woman has dominated a fee is a lot less so, i mean are there ways to overcome this at this point in time we started so way behind the fees were way behind and it is hard to move the needle what can we do in San Francisco<\/a> nationally theyre looking at San Francisco<\/a> as a model what can we do to bridge that dangerous weapon. I mean obviously the need for additional funding were indicating in the plan we want to look at strategies to get there what we know that San Francisco<\/a> has taken the lead with the fee was this and tied that program to quality performers but the cost of living the sea wamgz is no longer working to bring people closer to parody it is a bandaid i dont want to say that money is the only answer we have to looking our structuring program but need to program that will get us there in a certain amount of years without that were never getting to the quality for zero to 5 years old i mean weve done a great job with the po a and not providing the resources to the told her providers to get to the basic level of quality it will take a lot of people strategize i know we have a lot of energy in our community to come up with new approaches but need to begin that work. Thank you very much and again, im sad your this is your last week. Ive been back and forth supervisor yee and love to come back and its been a privilege to be if this position thank you very much.

Carlson Early Education<\/a> is comprised of a highly complex program multiple agencies with roles and responsibilities and finally very federal and state requirements the Planning Office<\/a> little early care and education to organize it both is a common system envision for our young system is visual and inspiring work we need to do together who two elements are important for the roll you have and the committee to think about supporting the work Going Forward<\/a> the first ill highlight the no cost proposition i think the efficiency of our system and leveraging is critical the financing reforms that ms. Carlson put forward are critical weve mirrored a chaotic and disruptive and dysfunctional education for low income families we can streamline and reorganize the local investments you all steward and make on behalf of the taxpayers to minimize the paperwork and make sure the time and resources are focused on the workers that is critical i didnt realize the time limits were briefly it is time to do right by the he recalls educators more than a 20,000 different and the pay for a year later a 4 years old tea will be paid 50,000 and next it 55 and not to recognize the Brain Development<\/a> or to live in San Francisco<\/a> we look forward to our investment in Early Education<\/a> to make sure the educators just pay for this important work with our children. Thank you. Good morning supervisors im kim yarz ive honor and privilege to work with amazing colleagues especially barbara im the representative for the Family Childcare<\/a> providers that an honor and privilege as well as supervisor yee has mentioned most of early childcare rear view mirrors are women and women of color and f c provider we represent the women ordinary businesses ive been a teacher many years in San Francisco<\/a> and not only when we provide quality work for the teachers were also mentioning those teachers are often parents in our School System<\/a> in order to and fro for them to do well, they need to be able to have a living wage it is important we lift all the aspects of Early Childhood<\/a> from zero to 5 as we care for the teachers wear caring for the parents and teachers its been amazingly encouraged by the work that the occ has done working in collaboration with the Childcare Centers<\/a> and fcc weve seen bodies of the picture and Work Together<\/a> to move forward thank you very much.

The city has been making the tremendous investment in early care and education there is more we feed to do in order to address the inqualities of opportunities for the children 2, 3, 4 city there is definitely a need to restructure the system i also urge us to invest more in this to enable us to get to the vision of quality care and education thank you very much. Thank you. Good morning Candice Wong Occ<\/a> c pack and our council i wholeheartedly support this plan i think the opportunity for this city to really lay the foundation and around quality for occ i think this is important that our focus area is around how we support the quality in our teachers as a priority i think having this mechanism and taking a system wide approach will be key to laying the underground for the city to be model for the nation as well as opportunities for us to draw down federal and state resources this is a great plan i think theres more to do and continue to do that work through the various planning tables we have in the city i think that is important that we lay this plan out it will set a Solid Foundation<\/a> for our work and moving forward i think there is opportunities for us to also continue to look at as we support quality and preschool we look at the some of the other gaps within the city in terms of infants and toddlers 80 percent of toddlers we need to continue to focus on the work of the area more work to come and look forward to working with the city moving the dial forward for occ. Thank you. Good morning supervisors my name is la guarantee a cast member and faculty at sfusds for the past years weve look at the office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> we are graduating hundreds of students that are passionate and dedicated and representative the children and families and many are natives, however, as of late more and more students are forced to move out of San Francisco<\/a> cant afford to live here facing evictions and we really need to address the wage issue if we want to keep and maintain the high quality of office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> i fully endorse this plan and thank you. Good morning. Thank you for keeping the importance of Early Childhood<\/a> education issue on the forefront of this citys attention how fortunate to say a supervisor like supervisor yee who seize the connection between the early which would care and education for the youth children and the economic and quality of life for everyone in the city if not for our supervisors like supervisor yee and all our supervisors and all our support weve had much cared for to the extent stent those who care for children will be in terrible despair im ms. Kennedys im the director of the childcare in San Francisco<\/a> there are over seven hundred chiropractors teaching the youth children everyday were particularly pleased to see in the plans ms. Carlson present a commitment to a verifiable approach the incentives 80 percent of the brain occurs in the first 3 years and so this is a time we should Pay Attention<\/a> to the families childcare supports this plan it is the result of a thoughtful and deliverability deliberate fact basis and with anticipation from those who worked with the children and families everyday i thank you, very much. Thank you, ms. Kennedy. Good morning, supervisors and staff my name is sarah i coordinate the San Francisco<\/a> chiropractors provider and appreciate being part of listening to this as a develops with the occ plan and im happy to be here to speak to that plan i want to take a moment to appreciate the conversation at the end of ms. Carlsons presentation between supervisor yee and ms. Carlson and talk about the supervisors here today of your leadership roll on this very important needed mind shift as supervisor yee used the word care as the way we viewed childcare for many years and now moved beyond that how for this time is in our lives and more children with cared for by people other than their families we need need to recognize that is absolutely crucial you as leaders are in a position to speak to that as as important as pay equality is and resources are theyre important because they effect the reality of the system were building and the ability to do the service we he had on a realize were not talking about when were talking about Early Education<\/a> not Rocket Science<\/a> but Human Development<\/a> we feed to fund it and needed to make it a center of human work in building the city i thank you for the leadership that you will take in forwarding this plan thank you. Good morning, supervisors. Im mr. Workers comp with the San Francisco<\/a> representing the executive director who couldnt be here i want to voice our strong support for the plan and the process that went into this plan i think Barbara Carlson<\/a> should be commend for bringing the voices and creating a plan that unifies people around a common vision for standing expanding the opportunity and making sure the quality of the education is high supporting the office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> that is really the foundation of that endeavor and also you know expanding the scope of the citys responsibility in serving children age zero to 4 i think there is a lot of work ahead that is represented in the plan and funding will be 90 no small part of the history in San Francisco<\/a> has been very good the people of San Francisco<\/a> and this board have been generous with children you know starting you know as early as the Childrens Fund<\/a> the public Enrichment Fund<\/a> most recently, the prop c the board recently accident around paid family leave is commendable that sets a clear path for what we need to do Going Forward<\/a> so im optimistically that the people will come together to fund the important work of this plan thank you. Other people that want to make Public Comment<\/a> on this item line up. Im lisa lee with the development felt quality of the system a component of this plan moving forward in the city were here to endorse that plan fully it is the first time our Community Came<\/a> forward to say lets not use public dollars unless it assures a positive experience for all children it is going to be a big lift for our city to do this because we Fund Programs<\/a> to help parents but we need to Fund Programs<\/a> to help children and make that list we ought to offer our childcare a good model so they can be there for every child and make sure our quality rating and improvements make sense we dont coaching and training for teachers jr. And they leave us we start at square one it is a poor investment unless we keep our teachers in the city and finally id like to applaud our community for the work its done we are finally saying that every child deserves the same learning standard weve had like a zillion standards in San Francisco<\/a> were saying infant to preschool the same expectation of service for our families and their children so we applaud the office in its work and the communities as well thank you.

The innovations as supervisor mar told us about the hearing agenda the frame of the generated we wanted to provide basically what has happened since the frrtd funding all the program just wants well share victories and say what is next and then the chair will wrap up with budget and policy recommendations all of data here that is presented today was present by the task force that includes city agencies and nonprofit organizations and residents and the School District<\/a> all of these agencies with working together to make sure the sfolsz have food and as supervisor mar said this is a human right need go to the next slide go ahead. Oh, thank you. Food a basic human need food and security is also difficult to measure we basically look at income as being a proximity for food and security we used blow 200 percent of poverty to show whos at risk of food and security as supervisor mar said this is one enforcement and to give you a context of what that look like living blow 200 percent of poverty for 3 is slight less than 8,000 a year one of the challenges in San Francisco<\/a> to reproduction that eligibility for food program is based on Standard National<\/a> federal measurement of 100 percent poverty weeping were challenged in San Francisco<\/a> many of the residents are not eligibility for the programs like food stamps because that he have an income too high and two they maybe not have the proper documentation status that makes them eligible and 3 living on ssi in the statistic were the only state makes them ineligible for calfresh we have many folks on ssi the next slide shows you look at what the city looks like in terms of who is living below 200 percent of poverty the green shows the contamination all the neighborhoods in San Francisco<\/a> have People Living<\/a> at risk of food and security the next slide shows you the responses to this problem and this is a map of where existing foods pantries are located and the food pantries are run write the Marin Food Bank<\/a> the bigger dots is the bigger pantries theyre located throughout the city now the next slide is showing you the red dots that where the pantries are in the neighborhoods theres more demands for those food pantries than ability to meet the demands for a moment in San Francisco<\/a> we have a 200 food pantries serving one hundred thousand residents every week. As we said food is very linked to health we know that proper nutrition is essential for good health as the top leading causes of death poor nutrition is a risk and it results in mental and physical and Emotional Health<\/a> problems food u. N. Security increases the persons risk factor for chronic disease like high Blood Pressure<\/a> and obese it overseeing costs are passed on to other city agencies the School District<\/a> and the private sector especially the Health Factor<\/a> as a reminder Food Security<\/a> is complex and achieving Food Security<\/a> will involve the complex network of the public and private folks the framework for the task force to look at this issue adopted from the world height and the World Security<\/a> and people need resources to purchase food they need food assess and place they can get to get healthy food the Food Consumption<\/a> does the person have the ability to cook and the nutrition this is the Collection Network<\/a> that make ups the facts and circumstances that will approve the security again as a reminder of the work weve down together observe the past couple of years the resolution to end hunger in 2013 and the mayor and board of supervisors have valeted additional funding to solve this problem without further ado, well give you an update on the victories and what is the next and my colleagues from the Human Services<\/a> agency give you and just want on calfresh. Im here to talk about calfresh and this food stamps in terms of getting folks on benefits currently 54 thousand are referring calfresh that means 200 and 27 a month towards food fortunately that demand is half so a significant goal of the Human Services<\/a> agency to have a comprehensive effort to try to get more people on benefits and the strategies to do that one is to meet applicants where rewhere they are in the neighborhoods communitybased organizations that are served and reaching them on the telephone so with the help of the resources two years ago we have a established 8 out station throughout the city those are places we staff Human Services<\/a> agency eligibility workers and applicants apply for calfresh and do the interview and prosecutes for the benefits we have this for example, at the naeth at the departments of brags and thought chinatown San Francisco<\/a> general we help calfresh with the Marin Food Bank<\/a> those are events a number of communities and communitybased organizations help with foods eligible candidates and eligible workers to go out and help to process those applications on the spot and this the reason weve embarked on in reach we mean reaching out to families that are all right. Open a caseload of other Services Eligible<\/a> for calfresh and not getting it for example, anticipated or stemmed about half of the families on medicals are likely eligible for calfresh awhile only a small portion 18 percent are actually getting that with the help of the Large Network<\/a> of the cbo coalition the marin with the Human Services<\/a> agency over the past year the cbo has submitted and approved 17 hundred applications generating approximately 8. 8 million unanimously this is a graphic giving you a sense the population for the medical ive referenced if you see the large yellow and green this is the medical approximately, one and 25 thousand households ref medical in the city approximately half are, however, only a portion are referring calfresh so the encourage cycle it is orange and pink the caseload the offer laptop it 2 3,000 and more thousands are likely eligible for calfresh and to try to address that weve hired and vendor that is engaged in an out bound calling to help with the assistance on the phone so what are our next steps in terms of the finding the applicants well continue to expand in reach and outreach one now in reach strategy well launch in the fall similar out bound campaign to children for those who have an interest in calfresh and to provide them with phone assistance we hope to open a Satellite Office<\/a> in the mission in San Francisco<\/a> currently wisconsin we have a Human Services<\/a> agency site where people can drop off calfresh applications and get limit services we hope to make it a more comprehensive location people can get the range of calfresh and hope focus on the Staff Resources<\/a> to have quick processes for applications that is done with the help of more clerical staff next helping them complete a cumbersome application to apply for calfresh you have to complete a form online over and over on paper and conduct an interview of 45 minutes or an hour and submit the documents this can be hard for protecting folks often people that dont have phones and live on the streets and for anyone that didnt have time to wait in the office and stressed out by the steps involved were proud of at the Human Services<\/a> agency over the past two years we deliver the same day service and even more the clients come in from calfresh is seen within 10 minutes two years ago we could be wasting up to 4 hours or the next day service we also with the help of the cbos with the food bank helped clients reminding them of their requirements to submit and reminding them on interviews theyre not just helping them with the initial application but the next steps so heres the new initiate weve hoped to launch something we call on demand interviews i mean right now an applicant applies online they submit their application and we contact them for their interview if they dont answer the phone there is a list that goes back and forth and missed interview is one of the primary reasons people dont get approved we hope this is something that an individual can call and apply for calfresh and get interviewed on the spot by the person that answers the phone we dont currently have the resources to do that and next won our on calfresh the goal to help you stay on calfresh if your financing eligible the extensive paperwork to keep you on aid we find that 20 percent of the caseload is disconnected and reapplied within the same thirty days because their financing successful were piloting the automatic interviews by texts and emails the missing the intrifs radio the reason theyre not getting the support the state is responsible for sending letters to the caseload to talk about the requirements and expectation when they have to do onramp interview and submit paperwork even people about High Education<\/a> levels to understand so the state will help them be more understandable more people understand what we need to do and tells you their requirements on the next step additional out bound Call Campaign<\/a> for people that are disconnected from aid who are still financially eligible we appreciate the help youve given for the support and pleased the support will continue to help Family Services<\/a> linda allow. Amazing work thank you for the recommendations moving forward. Good morning board of supervisors.

Can i emphasis a point the unmet data in confederate the the baby boomers turning into seniors rapidly from 2010 to 2050 i believe the senior population is doubling and San Francisco<\/a> alone one hundred thousand important people by 2030 so a huge number and to plan for what were doing to increase nutrition and home delivered meals especially protecting seniors is critical i want to emphasize that. Yes. It is i want to should you some conservative projections this slide again weve made in road and able to serve low income seniors we do this to reduce the waiting times on the wait list of senior disabilities because of significance we really increased i service by 200 percent and reduced the waste time to 11 days thats critical and thank you very much to the board and the Mayors Office<\/a> for meeting many critical need this is a picture snapshot of what the Home Delivery<\/a> meal wait list looks like by supervisor district some of the districts actually all the district are wait list its not surprising tenderloin and south of market has the highest wait list even though the services to that is high the age is 76 years old how are we are doing to achieve the hunger for people on the wait list this is a projection the green bar shows you serving over 5 thousand interpretative clients and another 4 thousand plus are in advance weve seen based studies and analysis in order to reduce the service net need if were serving 25 percent of this this is about 12 hundred 43 people every year that will take 4 million and in four years an additional 16 million added to the program so by 2020 if we have 24 million we meet the unmet need this is, of course, not including other projected growth and well set that coming up in the coming years so this is a snapshot of what the status well be able to do with the covered meal program it is severing people that do ambulatory their participate in under activities that help to keep them healthy and engaged besides receiving a nutritious meal were grateful in the last two years with the mayors and the brvrsdz adam one . 8 million to this program and we were able to add 6 new sites two of them are restaurant the chance to new breakfast and lunch sites were able to serve close to 19 thousand clients in the meal program this is a map to give you an idea where the different sites are located a to the of 50 throughout the city in all districts and neighborhoods the beggar dots show us those are sites that are serving more seniors . Over law with the percentage of low income seniors in each of the districts the darker shaded colors have a hero percentage of the percentage of the citys low income seniors the next map shows you the sites that serves tsenior disabilitie that is one of the newer programs that help to address more the unmet meetings needs those are the fact for protecting seniors and senior disabilities that have problems walking and going shopping but can prepare food at home in need of supplemental healthy food and were able to with the add back of 1. 42 million from the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office<\/a> serves a total of 282 thousand plus trench active clients and deliver over 71 thousand Grocery Store<\/a> bags annual and increase the service by 50 percent one of the reasons were able to do this this program really leverages our funding because many of the ceos get volunteers also, they if you have any questions, well be happy to answer them and the food bank takes advantage they get donation from the vendors for the Fresh Produce<\/a> to the programs and the other agency were parts of our units in the dos they are able to use the harris workers to help to get the groceries for their clients in need and eligible for this program next im going to introduce my colleague the director of e sf to share the fruits and vegetables.

The rest of the presentation this part of presentation will be reporting back on the results of a survey that the task force accident from the sro residents to understand the Security Status<\/a> karen lead the project and wishes she could be here ill represent the project id like to thank yorba brown it uc berkley that provided the pro bono assistance the as you may know over 5 hundreds sro residents in San Francisco<\/a> or sro hotels in San Francisco<\/a> with about 19 thousand plus residential unit many are old and share bathrooms and residents are among the most vulnerable and low income in San Francisco<\/a> and reliant on Government Income<\/a> and cash benefits for their health and wellbeing with the passing of the hunger free the board asked the task force to come back with straents to improve the status so we surveyed sro residents the majority were single adults and first, we want to first of all, understand the level of Food Insecurity<\/a> those residents and understand the reflex which is really another way to see who up formal nutrition and see what the city can do we served nine hundred residents and exceeded this goal 6 hundred and 30 plus residents we used valeted screening tools to assess the insecurity and understand the risk we found that over 80 percent were food insecure and at risk for high mall nutrition we looked at things like that dos used 43ers of residents take 3 or more prescription drugs arrest overthecounter drugs almost half have gains or lost 10 pounds and mouth problems that made it difficult to eat this is a various group is in high need for nutrition we thought and wondered the sro residents are using the existing food program the answer is yes as you can see from this slide 85 percent total are using the food safety net one time a week and many are using other kinds of free programs everyday so we concluded the current safety net is robust not enough to tend ends Food Insecurity<\/a> and protect the health we wonder what role the kitchens might play we asked them question and a full set of the responses to all the data will be in our packet you received and available we have a report on the slides that tell that analyze the data we found out that tenants will cook at home with better kitchens i ask you to look at the report we want to know what is the top priority for residents of skoerz e. R. Sros and the top priority was additional funds to purchase better food many residents are getting ssi benefits so their ineligibility in light state of california from the other priorities that are these Railroad Many<\/a> other food programs from a full pantry to low income the programs available they rated 50 percent said they were high priority so what we found is really it although the safety net a utility did absent of kitchens is a barrier to Food Security<\/a> but lack of Financial Issues<\/a> and other barriers are amongst the residents and additional funds is a highly desirable this will not be the only answer many sro residents may not be able to get out and dine all intervention will play a role the task force recommend that we had figure out the right package of interventions by the collection of intervention in sro building the Task Force Recommends<\/a> this for two reasons approval we have People Living<\/a> in the snapshot in sro buildings and mr. Sincroy came over of food their insecure and people with disabilities and People Living<\/a> in extremely poverty and Critical Health<\/a> issues and second trying new interventions we can identify gaps in the current safety net and Development Solutions<\/a> and connect the social services and understand how improvements can contribute to Food Security<\/a> for the next steps the Task Force Recommends<\/a> setting aside specific funds to pilot funds in two or three building with the revenue process that gives details by the type of intervention and those eligible and those remedies were informed by 3 Public Meetings<\/a> fr stakeholders thank you for your leadership and with that, id like to ask you are chair to provide the final recommendations. Thank you supervisor mar for sponsoring this hearing and supervisors today part of Committee Supervisor<\/a> farrell i want to point out one thing before i make the recommends in your packet an update on the out of school meals a fuller report in june weve made progress but the reports will be up in the next couple of months moving on to recommends as youve heard weve made significant process of security and a hunger free San Francisco<\/a> by 2020 by more to do id like to talk about 3 things first budgeted we need to maintain and expand the Nutrition Program<\/a> over the next fiscal and reach you are goals you have a detailed budget totally over 13 million weve shown this Program Works<\/a> and make that a further dent in the coming year that have well be walking and visiting our offices to meet with you to talk about the details and look forward to doing that id like to directing your attention to addressing the divorce population need we believe the time is right to Pilot Initiative<\/a> and Collaborative Solutions<\/a> to address the needs of this vulnerable population we urge you to consider that and second policy at the local level youve heard today were doing a better job of intraoral more and more seniors in the meals on wheels but people wait two along it is still 44 days for anyone that is home bounds with little access to food we ask you to mandate a policy for the Home Delivery<\/a> service in 2 to 5 days in an emergency sidewalks we urge to promote a Food Security<\/a> gene in all city programs to create a population asset that will give us a fuller stent of what the level of food and security in a city however, there are things the state can do not all on the city i urge to support ab 144 that is making its way introduce the legislation that is ssi for the recipients we noted this population is forced to timely below the Poverty Level<\/a> and no access to calfresh and legislation to rectify this and put in place a cost of Living Investment<\/a> to people can be sure to have the increases over time finally raven this is a task force that is proud of work weve done to assess the needs of our at risk population in San Francisco<\/a> but in order to reach the goal by 2020 we need to look deeper at the full spectrum of the cost of food and security in San Francisco<\/a> both to residents and you are Health Care Institutions<\/a> we need to put a finer point on the cost eliminating food and insecurity as well as identify the opportunities to take advantage of stable and ongoing funding to support those investment like we might find through the hsa and food is a large part and finally developing shared outcomes and measures so we can agree upon what we are looking to achieve and what it looks like to are a secure food place for people that are thriving and engaged with the Budget Analyst Office<\/a> to exposure those questions and looking forward to extinguisher on that with that, id like to close and invite questions. Start by thanking you and ann and the foot task force in the Tenderloin Task<\/a> force as well i had a question how much is since this is at Budget Committee<\/a> how to make the policy to make sure that Home Delivery<\/a> meals in the morning that 2 to 5 days whats the range of that. Well, weve said in the last two years weve focused on this population is that about a million to million half dollars on the wait list by spoke to this earlier every time is clears it comes up we need a finer point to maintain it a blow thirty days ongoing. And i think from the presentation on e d sf i realize your healthy it is critical and so continuing the funding to trofrment from selling junk food and cigarettes to inhabitanter beverages and food and assessable and affordable food it is critical are wanted to say i think the food system approach that paula jones and others talked about is changing the system as the founder of first said 40 years ago and said the system needs to change im realizing that education niece to change whether it is more assess but the education about what is healthy and whether for children and families versus seniors and aging people as well so besides the systems change it is culture and other changes from the faefrmz having access to e d sf i want to give a shout out to the food guardians and people on the tenderloin leaders for commissioner tang that culture and raising that awareness for people impacted so we have better cultural and educational changes so thanks for the great work. 20 Public Comment<\/a> cards classroom ill ask people to keep it as short as possible and some need to leave early calling names and im calling names for people to come forward. So professor. Thank you supervisor mar and thank you especially for all youve done over the years with the task force, with your support of Healthy Retail<\/a> and amending the liveable wage youve been a leader im here as you said partly as a Health Research<\/a> and a San Francisco<\/a> native and a proud member of the coalition because despite the efforts of task force and all the amazing groups and ceos and organizations that have worked on that as you have heard food Source Security<\/a> a huge problem im sorry tammy had to leave another justice levied in the tenderloin they have the best ability to turn the statistics into the face and the people behind them were aware of the homelessness in the city but we forget i think some of the speakers pointed out when you live in a city that is as expensive as San Francisco<\/a> over 80 percent of people that are taking advantage of your food banks are working families with low wage theyre seniors and, of course, children so hunger is a kind of silent and invisible contributor to talk about the Serious Health<\/a> conditions in the city and state and country but misunderstood with twothirds of the adults overweight or obese oh, theyre just leases and eating this stuff because they like is that overeating is not a choice theyre eating high calories because of their source of energy in bayview Hunters Point<\/a> so one in 4 meals is healthy food. Professor were keeping this to 2 minutes please wrap up. Ill move quickly i want to say i totally port all of the recommendations that weve heard this morning i want to add two of them to putting a high priority on Healthy Retail<\/a> government contribution through the office of Economic Workforce Development<\/a> and 60 thousand a year weve been able to bring in grants to support that but theyre short lived the one the biggest one is going to be done after 2017.

Anthonys foundation we serve 24 hundred meals a day one of the many programs and were proud of our history i want to start any remarks by just mentioning a few things a simple definition not defined in the presentation the diverse between hunger and Food Security<\/a> hunger that physical feeling when you dont have enough to eat and Food Security<\/a> is a social and economic description of the built to afford and maintain healthy food and Healthy Eating<\/a> and you know hunger can be addressed by the provision of a free meal but food and security is a broader thing that needs to be addresses as Economic Justice<\/a>, as well as food justice and so weve heard a lot about how health is related to Food Security<\/a> and Housing Status<\/a> is related to Food Security<\/a> and the ability to be able to prepare food at home that is something that isnt a possibility for the People Living<\/a> in the 19 thousand sros this is a bigger discussion than simply food and a larger discussion of Economic Justice<\/a> and basically, the budget apps for the to come to our office on the third in the first place of june and ask for this money for the programs we know work will be a great achievement in getting Economic Justice<\/a>.
