SFGTV Mayors Press Availability December 3, 2015

I have another question. Just like to remind the commissioner, we have a full agenda. You say the current residents will not be affected. The current residents of these housing generally are elders, seniors, many housing, you do have Young Children. The Young Children it could be a couple of years old or teenagers. You know, they are currently residing with their mothers. Are you covering those Young Children too when they get older. When they currently, under the 29 properties, seven of them are designated as family buildings. Hump designate family . Seven. Thats just the designation meaning that if you to apply to get in there, you will be applying to those children. There are grandparents that are taking care of their children. I understand that. Thats the designation per hud. Basically if you are on lease on the property, then you are part this program. You are eligible for the temporary relocation for being on lease. We did run a huge ad Family Member campaign for the last couple of months where we got 250 folks who had not been on the lease. They had been couch surfing or living with a grandparent or with a friend. We gotten on lease so theyre no longer in the shadows. They would no longer be worried about whether or not they would lose the housing. Weve really done a thorough work to be able to make share folks are eligible and on lease at the properties. Everybody that is on lease at that property is eligible for services and for assistance. When a person you dont age out of a lease. Its not like if you get to be 18, you suddenly kicked off. You can continue to be on the lease. If youre on the lease and say a grandparent were to pass away, then the family thats there is eligible to take on the lease and the property. Its not like you hit a certain age and youre no longer eligible to be there. As long as youre on lease, you are eligible for all the services and for the quality housing. Thank you. This is important. I want clarification. Now, these younger teenagers living with their parents, eventually, they will grow up and theyre going to get a job. Theyre going to get promotions. Theyre going to make lots of money. Are they still eligible to continue residing in the subsidizing housing . By current federal standards, if a person is living in the property under rad now, even if they exceed eligibility, because theyre a current tenant, they are protected. We do some buildings thats flat rent because they reached a certain level. If you were to apply for subsidized housing and get an application and you would have to meet a certain income eligibility to be able to be there. At some point, if you exceed the income, then the property is going to want to probably look to move you up the housing ladder within the mayors housing of below market rate. Part of the positive nature of this for the mayor itself was to create the full ladder so that folks in these buildings will have access to lotteries and wait list for other buildings as you move up the income. We want everyone to work and to increase their income. Obviously. What we find in San Francisco is that folks often times have to work for quite some time before theyre able to reach a certain threshold to be able to move to the next level. Theres no guarantees in fairness but the object here these Affordable Housing developments are operating our below marketing rate. Thank you for answering my questions. Commissioner james. I want to get back to you mentioned something regarding the social services. What about that . Will that be provided for some of the seniors . We do have a Program Going on now. My concern, would you still provide that . All of the buildings, family or senior, will have a one to 75 staff person on site who will be operating both engagement activities and Community Building, health and wellness, education activities. Will happen on site. Plus theyre working to great partnerships with other leverage and Senior Centers. We can get seniors to be able to go to the programs. Will that be provided so services for families . Same with families. We went through and did contracts with hsa for the family sites. Okay, thank you. Thank you very much any other comments or questions . Comments from the public . Thank you very much. That was a very comprehensive presentation. Thank you. Item a requesting authorization to enter into a new grant with Bridge Housing corporation for provisions of service, connection to families residing in San Francisco rental assistance demonstration, converted Housing Development units during the period of november 1, 2015 through jun june 30, 2017. Both a 10 contingent for a total grant amount not to exceed, 117,189. Carrie wong, welcome. Can you hear me okay . Carrie wong. Director of Long Term Care operations. I want to take a step back a little bit before i get into this first one because the next 11 items are basically about the same thing. Theres five developers and theres 11 contracts and 11 buildings. Thank you helen for a very comprehensive description. All the buildings, the part that daas has a part in are basically related to the Service Connection model. If i can explain a little bit about the Service Connection model, i can go into the building aspect. With the Service Connection model, theyre basically built on three principles of community engagement, Community Building and Service Connection. Community engagement deals things like establishing trust, mapping needs, Community Activities and things that sort, the Community Building deals with Community Organizing and events not limited to activities that helen mentioned about food, support group and coffee hours. Building stronger tenant and neighborhood partnership. The Service Connection piece is more of individual, client need or resident need. Things like referrals with follow up, support for housing and stabilization. To achieve these three goals, the part that daas has a piece is funding. Each the buildings have different sizes and numbers of people and things like that. For each of the buildings, these are the core activities. Outreach, health and wellness and housing stability. For outreach, theres things like building and maintaining positive relationships with the tenants, tenant meetings. They know theyre available for help. For health and wellness theres Service Needs assessment, information and referral, crisis intervention and counseling with individuals and groups. They follow up with servic service referrals. Housing stability part of it. They work cooperatively with the Property Management team during all the transition thats happening. Theyll do direct outreach to tenants who have expressed safety concerns or if theres a housing and lease or violations and things like that. For the first three items, its part of the Bridge Housing corporation. The first item that were talking about now is located on 25 sanchez. Any questions. Just one. I think its important to clarify that the services that daas is funding is primarily targeted for seniors and adults with disabilities. Its not clear from the description. I wanted to get that on the record. Were funding programs that affect our clientele. The program is fantastic but were only charged with a specific aspect of the demographics. I want to make sure thats clear. Correct. All of these 11 buildings has been designed by hud as senior buildings. The focus is on seniors. Thank you. Item a. Is there anything you want to say about this item . For the next 11, these are all the buildings that are under the same description, under the Service Connection model. This one is 2 25 sanchez, the first one. Any comments or questions . Commissioner loo. I realized, they dont have a bunch of personnel. Is it coming from a grant more . There is no money for the staff in the budget. Yes. As helen mentioned, they are mixed funding. They are leveraged by different ways of maybe helen can speak better about how that income is generated. Theyre all different leverage funds. The requirement under rad was that you fund a Service Person and you able to designate one to 100 was the average across the National General Service Connection model. We required the owner or operator to put that into air budget. So they have 81,000. What the city did was then reduce and make it better, one to 75. There may be small bits of staffing, only small bits. But the primary staffing is in the operating budget in the building which ensures that staffing is maintained irregardless of any other contract. Its a leverage back and forth between the owners budget and the city contract. Thank you. I see your concern commissioner, some of the vendors opted to subcontract the Service Component elsewhere. If you looking to subcontract your detail, Service Component for this first five that were talking about at sanchez is being contract to the Northern California presbyterian homes and services.

To whom do you make that report to . Im sorry, annual report . Yes, it says here, you will be making an annual report, summarizing the contract activities and accomplishments by the 15th of the month. As part of daas responsibility as a contract manager, we monitor all our contractors and we have monthly and annual and quarterly reporting that we look at. Daas does that piece. Is that your question . Would the agency be making the Bridge Housing making the reports . President james, the element is no different. They are required to submit to your Department Program staff.

It seem like its pretty high out of the operating budget . Right. Ly take a stab. 990 pacific. We have a different general. That is the only building which have seismic problems and the entire building has to be relocated off site. What were doing in the other building is doing floor by floor few units at a time so we dont have huge buildings emptied. In this building, there are lots of activities and different types of things that are happening off site moving folks around and trying to keep them active and engaged with their new owner. That part of their budget is most likely much higher because theyre really trying to engage the residents who have moved from their apartment. Theyre not going to have a Community Like living in one building. Theyre going to be spread around. Its a little bit different model because of repair and rehab in that building. Do you want a chinatown to talk to you about that . Yes. That building is a little bit different. You noticed the budget was a little different. Just because its a much harder situation. Thank you.
