Item 3, acknowledgment of the Ramatouche Ohlone community.

9
00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:31,430
The housing authority of the city and county of San Francisco acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatouche Ohlone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco peninsula.

10
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:36,550
As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions,

11
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:44,290
the Ramatusha Loni have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place,

12
00:00:44,890 --> 00:00:48,050
as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory.

13
00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:53,610
As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland.

14
00:00:54,230 --> 00:00:57,530
We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors,

15
00:00:57,530 --> 00:01:03,290
elders and relatives of the Ramatou Sholoni community, and by affirming their sovereign

16
00:01:03,290 --> 00:01:04,670
rights as First Peoples.

17
00:01:06,290 --> 00:01:06,990
Thank you.

18
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:08,590
Item four is the President's report.

19
00:01:10,430 --> 00:01:13,750
Nothing to report right now, but I just want to say thank you very much to the Housing

20
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:17,890
Authority and the Cooperation with City Departments in ensuring that turkey giveaways are happening

21
00:01:17,890 --> 00:01:22,550
across the city right now, so that thousands of turkeys can maybe be provided to families

22
00:01:22,550 --> 00:01:29,450
across San Francisco and wishing everyone a very happy holiday season as we

23
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:31,850
begin leaning into it more fully next week.

24
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Thank you President Torres. Item 5,

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,020
general public comments. Before we start, I'd like to note this portion of the

26
00:01:39,020 --> 00:01:41,820
agenda is not intended for debate or discussion with the commissioner staff.

27
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,660
Please simply state your business or the matter you wish the commissioner

28
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:48,060
staff to be aware of. It is not appropriate for commissioners to

29
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:51,760
engage in a debate or respondent issues not properly set in a publicly

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:01,880
If you have questions or would like to bring a matter to the commission's attention, please send your communication via e-mail to sfha.com at sfha.org.

31
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,400
And then I'll start with the speaker cards we got.

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,000
And for public comment, you'll have two minutes.

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,740
We can start with Margaret McNulty.

34
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Hi, good morning.

35
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:13,660
Good morning.

36
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,180
Good morning.

37
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:21,960
I'm Margaret McNulty from the residents council advisors, and I want you to know I have 10 new clients now.

38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:29,880
and I actually have Howard Hill here with me for, he's the vice president as well

39
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,260
and he's the president of 25 Sanchez. So I just wanted to bring to your

40
00:02:35,260 --> 00:02:42,180
attention London breed cut the ribbon on 180 in the tenderloin just the other

41
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:48,740
day and it's all subsidized housing like 80 units and it's perfect for us to

42
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:52,020
Russian and stabilize the resident council advisory.

43
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,160
So I just want you to know that we're working on it

44
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,420
and I'm working with Kendra really closely

45
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:00,120
with the other problems in the building,

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,440
but it's going well, I'm finding my niche.

47
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,920
So thank you.

48
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Thank you.

49
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:05,700
Any questions?

50
00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:12,490
Any other general public comment in the room?

51
00:03:22,730 --> 00:03:24,270
Yes, let's give any general public comment

52
00:03:24,270 --> 00:03:25,450
in the room, you can do so now.

53
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:47,920
Good morning.

54
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,620
Good morning, what is it?

55
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,920
I know all of you know who I am.

56
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,620
I am Martha Hollins from the Plaza East Tenants Association,

57
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,460
and with me I have one of my constituents, Annie Lee,

58
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:12,240
and we have come to you to thank you first of all

59
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,680
for our turkey giveaway, and we had a successful one yesterday.

60
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:26,940
day and a lot of people came and it was a good job, good job, good job. Thank you all for

61
00:04:26,940 --> 00:04:42,100
what you do for low-income people. I just wanted to talk to you a little bit about to address

62
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:48,820
to you about the way our community is moving forward.

63
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,440
And we just wanted to give you a few points of what's going on.

64
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,740
And it has to do with our redevelopment.

65
00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:10,800
We have been trying to get a meeting with the housing authority on what Plaza East is

66
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,820
going to be doing as far as our redevelopment goals. We have been here too long now, too

67
00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:27,180
long. And we want to move our community forward. This is stressing our residents out. They

68
00:05:27,180 --> 00:05:33,560
don't know what's happening or what's going on because there's no one to give us information

69
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,580
on what we need to do about our community and our residents.

70
00:05:38,580 --> 00:05:39,720
Ms. Hollins?

71
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:40,240
Yes.

72
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:45,160
If I may ask, we're about to hear a full report on Plaza East.

73
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,940
And if we could, if you have the time, may we have a more back-and-forth dialogue at

74
00:05:51,940 --> 00:05:52,320
that point?

75
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:53,680
Mm-hmm.

76
00:05:53,900 --> 00:05:55,400
And that'll happen in probably just a few moments.

77
00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:01,680
But then there is another point that I wanted to hear from.

78
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,640
I just want to move through public comment right now and then come back to Plaza

79
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,340
East in full.

80
00:06:06,340 --> 00:06:11,860
So it'll happen while bring you ask you to come back up for plaza east. All right. All right. Thank you so much Miss

81
00:06:11,860 --> 00:06:21,660
Hough. Okay, that is item number seven and seven a I do have someone online for general public comment Dennis Williams

82
00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:24,580
You'd like to unmute yourself. You'll have two minutes

83
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,360
Yes

84
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,920
Thank you. Mr. Dennis Williams. Good morning

85
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:43,140
Commissioners good morning everyone in chambers, and I'm glad everyone made it safely with the wet weather out

86
00:06:43,140 --> 00:06:47,640
I'm a community leader, Board of Supervisors Awarded.

87
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,140
I'm also a Micro-Awarelessay developer and also the Executive Director of the Fillmore

88
00:06:53,140 --> 00:06:53,500
CDC.

89
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:01,540
I'm just looking for any opportunities for community preservation to partner with housing

90
00:07:02,060 --> 00:07:07,640
authority in our BIPOC communities on a bevy of projects that's already going

91
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:17,660
as also, and or also as a micro redeveloper, part of the SF Hyper Local Buildings Trades

92
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:26,920
Collective over 15 qualified men and women citywide minorities, contractors, general

93
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,620
contractors and developers who are unfortunately out of work and not working on any of these

94
00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:36,760
projects, maybe one or two. Is there any opportunities for local Black

95
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,940
real estate developers on any of Housing Authority redevelopment projects in our

96
00:07:40,940 --> 00:07:45,780
BIPOC communities? Specifically, any joint venture opportunities would say at

97
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:51,960
Mercy Housing or Tabernacle, CDC. We need to put our community to work. We need

98
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:59,420
to put our youth and our other small businesses to work. We live in the

99
00:07:59,420 --> 00:08:05,200
communities and who live in San Francisco. Our kids go to school here, we pay taxes here

100
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:11,100
and we need jobs and we've been saying this for too long without seeing any amendments

101
00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:18,360
to anything, any legislation pertaining to Section 3 which gives us priority and preference.

102
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,340
What is the reason why there's no compliance or any accountability being shown on a part

103
00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:30,800
of these developers that are being allowed to come into our communities siphoning not

104
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:37,700
only jobs but generational wealth opportunities. So just looking for opportunities of myself

105
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:41,480
as well as for hyper-local building trades collected. Thank you.

106
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:52,110
Any additional general public comment in person or online?

107
00:08:57,290 --> 00:08:58,370
Then we can close general public

108
00:08:58,370 --> 00:09:02,010
comment. Go to item number six for the tenant representative report. Anyone from city

109
00:09:02,010 --> 00:09:05,410
wide council, senior disabled or the public housing tenant association like to give a

110
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:06,150
report out to the board?

111
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,120
Welcome Madam President. Thank you Mr. President,

112
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,580
commissioners. I don't have much to report. We were at the Hunters Point

113
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:34,980
shipyard last night and they gave many updates but we we're going to see that

114
00:09:34,980 --> 00:09:41,660
all the public housing representatives receive the information we got last

115
00:09:41,660 --> 00:09:49,660
night on Park and Rec and the gardening projects they have for young adults and high school

116
00:09:49,660 --> 00:09:50,860
age children.

117
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:57,740
The China Basin is open, not China, what is it, India?

118
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,360
Indian Basin is open and we saw it when we passed by last night.

119
00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:07,300
It really looks nice and they're encouraging people to come out and utilize it.

120
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:09,320
But I know we can't utilize it right now,

121
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,600
but it's a really nice place.

122
00:10:12,820 --> 00:10:15,160
They're working on it, and they have park rangers there

123
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:17,340
around the clock when it's open.

124
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,680
So we want to encourage people to come to that.

125
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:23,460
Kim also went to the,

126
00:10:31,810 --> 00:10:33,630
so we've been very busy,

127
00:10:34,450 --> 00:10:36,650
but we're just trying to make sure we got here.

128
00:10:36,790 --> 00:10:37,790
This is so early.

129
00:10:38,390 --> 00:10:40,250
I thought this was going to be at 4 o'clock.

130
00:10:40,370 --> 00:10:42,990
When Bennett said 9 o'clock, I said, oh my god.

00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:49,870

and thank you to our commissioners as always for your support.

141
00:11:30,730 --> 00:11:39,150
So for my general communications I would like to congratulate both Ms. Joyce Armstrong and

142
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:44,570
Ms. Neola Ganz from the Public Housing Tenant Association for their recognition at the

144
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:54,670
Resident Services and Residence Leaders Conference in September.

145
00:11:55,990 --> 00:12:01,910
Ms. Armstrong and Ms. Gems, who served as PHTA president and treasurer respectively,

146
00:12:02,610 --> 00:12:04,930
were inducted into their Hall of Fame.

147
00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:14,910
And from Samuel Little at NARSA, who is the CEO, he stated that this honor exemplifies

148
00:12:14,910 --> 00:12:19,790
the honorees' fidelity throughout their performance of public service.

149
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:26,150
The honorees' dedication as public housing leaders has been exemplary and is a model

150
00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:28,270
for other leaders with similar values.

151
00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:32,290
We have deep respect and admiration for the honorees.

152
00:12:32,290 --> 00:12:40,450
Please join NARSA in extending congratulations to the honoree as a member in the Hall of Fame.

153
00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:46,510
And I'd also say please join the Housing Authority and this commission in doing the same.

154
00:12:46,910 --> 00:12:58,270
And for this recognition, I want to congratulate both Ms. Joyce and Ms. Neola, as well as Ms. Kimberly Hill-Brown for their work at PHTA.

155
00:12:58,270 --> 00:13:04,290
And I'm excited to share this accomplishment with our commissioners and with everyone here today.

156
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:11,270
And the authority looks forward to our continued work and collaboration and in partnership with not just PHTA,

157
00:13:11,530 --> 00:13:16,770
but all our tenant councils for the betterment of residents and their representation.

158
00:13:17,250 --> 00:13:20,750
And I'd like to invite them both to come to the podium.

159
00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:37,770
And I also would like to give you a few moments to speak, and then I would like to invite our entire commission to come and take a picture with you.

160
00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:56,890
Well, you know we had to bring our awards to show them off. And we got out of there just in time before hurricane somebody.

161
00:13:57,830 --> 00:13:59,450
Yeah, Helen or Ivory.

162
00:14:03,190 --> 00:14:12,250
We both can't see. Can you read this, Ben? This is what we, that was the bio, and here's the award.

163
00:14:12,390 --> 00:14:13,330
Neola, give him yours.

189
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:32,040

00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,020
community flashpoints.

197
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:04,460
This honoree's dedication as a public housing leader has been exemplary and is a model for

198
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:06,160
other leaders with similar values.

00:17:06,980 --> 00:17:10,120

00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:30,920
for you, Ms. Neola Gans, this honoree has shown fidelity throughout the performance

204
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,700
of public service.

205
00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:36,980
Many from diverse walks of life have been assisted during challenging times, just as

206
00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:37,700
your colleague has.

207
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,800
You've been an extraordinary exemplary public servant whose values have always challenged

208
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,420
those to live up to the highest ideals of their public service, and you are being

209
00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:49,440
recognized for being a leader in that regard.

210
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,080
from Narsaw and also from all of us as we are about to present.

211
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:55,500
Thank you for your exemplary public service.

212
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:08,680
And I know that we here in San Francisco, at the direction of our CEO, Tonya Letizu,

213
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,180
wanted to be sure that we were doing our part as well to recognize you and maybe one up the award a little bit

214
00:18:14,940 --> 00:18:21,420
with something that is quite special for the two of you being such special leaders in our community,

215
00:18:21,420 --> 00:18:26,180
community, making sure, as I said, that we're living up to our highest ideals, that our

216
00:18:26,180 --> 00:18:32,040
public service is that public service and always keeping community and the residents

217
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,120
and those who need a helping hand.

218
00:18:34,700 --> 00:18:39,400
And sometimes just a door to be opened for them so they can lead themselves and their

219
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,260
communities themselves.

220
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Thank you for always being those leaders and leading the way and teaching us how

221
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,520
to best engage with community.

222
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,800
With that, Tonya Letitiu and commissioners, may we join her in presenting these two awards

223
00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:55,400
to Neola Gans and Joyce Armstrong.

224
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,600
Thank you.

225
00:18:56,860 --> 00:18:57,240
Thank you,

226
00:19:08,180 --> 00:19:08,900
Ms. Letitiu.

227
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:12,300
We just want to remind you again that you really truly make a difference.

228
00:19:12,620 --> 00:19:13,540
Thank you so very much.

229
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:14,480
Thank you so much.

230
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,200
Oh, this is heavy, too.

231
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,640
Likewise, Ms. Letitiu.

232
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:24,180
Thank you for all the work that you have done in this community, and we honor you

233
00:19:24,180 --> 00:19:24,460
today.

234
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,100
Thank you.

235
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,320
Not just today, but we honor you both every day.

236
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,500
Thank you.

237
00:19:30,580 --> 00:19:36,880
Thank you very

238
00:19:51,180 --> 00:19:56,760
much. Thank you.

239
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,120
I'm not trying to be cool. I've had some

240
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:09,600
eye problems so when I take a picture I like to have my shades on. We were at the shipyard

241
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,160
last night and the lights were so bright so when I woke up this morning my eye was

242
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:21,820
very rich so just so you can know I'm not trying to be all cool. Thank you all. This is such an honor.

243
00:20:38,510 --> 00:20:43,790
And just because we want to commemorate this in particular I just want to take public comments

244
00:20:43,790 --> 00:20:49,130
specifically from any members of the public who also want to send their regards and speak their

245
00:20:49,130 --> 00:20:55,430
own accommodations in respect to the leadership of PHTA and in particular Joyce Armstrong and

246
00:20:55,430 --> 00:20:56,010
Neola Ganz.

247
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:07,120
Good morning, commissioners, chair Joaquin Torres, our esteemed assessor. My name

248
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:16,360
is Linda Fadiki Richardson. I am a longtime San Francisco resident, and I have had the privilege

249
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:25,340
and the honor to know Joyce Armstrong, Neola Ganz, and Kim Brown. I cannot test to the dedication,

250
00:21:25,340 --> 00:21:32,360
their commitment. These women work tirelessly around the clock, I mean for

251
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:39,440
decades. And as the proclamation mentioned, they are very accessible, they have

252
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,060
integrity, they really care about the community. And by bestowing this award

253
00:21:45,060 --> 00:21:53,500
actually is that they are a model for a lot of leaders, especially the young

254
00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:58,860
people that are going to be following their footsteps, they need to know that in order

255
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:04,480
to get to where these women are today, that it takes a lot of commitment and dedication.

256
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:12,620
And that's what Joyce, Neola, Kim, that's what they are known for in this city.

257
00:22:12,980 --> 00:22:17,300
And so I just want to come out here and I know that a lot of people in the community

258
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:24,720
that ascribe to what I've just said to know that Joyce all your work all the

259
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:31,640
decades are not in vain and we thank you all and continue to wish you good health

260
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:38,160
and your contributions to the city to the all the communities citywide well

261
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:44,620
noted and are remarkable and thank you all commissioners for bestowing this

262
00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:46,380
honor on them as well. Thank you.

263
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,640
Thank you so much.

264
00:22:50,770 --> 00:22:55,310
Hi Margaret McNulty again. I'd like to say that I would not be where I am today

265
00:22:55,830 --> 00:23:01,770
without Joyce Armstrong. She was present and a big integral part of me being the first,

266
00:23:02,010 --> 00:23:10,090
my first term as president at 1760 Bush and throughout my 10 years of education she's been

267
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:16,550
a solid, solid example of and a guidance guiding light. So congratulations as well earned

268
00:23:16,550 --> 00:23:16,970
for you, Joyce.

269
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:30,680
I'm so proud of these two women. They're my sisters and we have known each other

270
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:38,460
for decades. And we've been working in the community, anything that was on my mind and

271
00:23:38,460 --> 00:23:44,300
that was troubling me, I can always go to Joyce and Neola and they will give me good

272
00:23:44,300 --> 00:23:53,160
advice on what I should do. I love them both deeply. And we'll always be friends. And they

273
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:59,000
have done a tremendous job in this community, a tremendous job that people just don't know.

274
00:23:59,860 --> 00:24:06,280
But I know, and I know what they've been into and what they've been doing and how they've

275
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:11,120
been doing it. And they have been a big part of Plaza East. I just have to say that,

276
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:18,580
You know they've been a big part of us. So thank you Joyce and the older and I love you. Love you both

277
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:28,650

This is great work representing the Housing Authority.

286
00:25:00,810 --> 00:25:03,390
The Hunters Point Shipyard work is not easy.

287
00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:06,870
The community and the residents around it want to know what's happening

288
00:25:06,870 --> 00:25:10,590
and you just heard them report on our committee meeting last night.

289
00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:13,110
So they're spreading the word letting people know

290
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:17,450
And they're modeling good leadership, good representation

291

in the neighborhood for young folks, for their peers,

292
00:25:20,130 --> 00:25:23,070
and everybody who sees them be in the community

293
00:25:23,070 --> 00:25:26,330
and shows the best of themselves at all times.

294
00:25:26,510 --> 00:25:28,870
And Ms. Kimberly Brown worked with her for a long time

295
00:25:28,870 --> 00:25:29,250

296
00:25:30,010 --> 00:25:31,750
And anyway, we just got a great community.

297
00:25:32,050 --> 00:25:32,970

Good morning.

I, too, want to say congratulations

302
00:25:41,270 --> 00:25:43,030
to Ms. Joyce and Ms. Ganz.

303
00:25:43,030 --> 00:25:49,450
I have been, had the honor of working with them from being a clerk all the way up to

304
00:25:49,450 --> 00:25:55,690
being a director at the Housing Authority, and they have, thank you, and they have molded

305
00:25:55,690 --> 00:26:02,110
me and guided me and showed me how to work in our community and how to come and represent

306
00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:07,150
ourselves professionally and personally, and so I too congratulate you and thank you

307
00:26:07,150 --> 00:26:07,830
and I love you both.

308
00:26:07,830 --> 00:26:08,510
I

309
00:26:16,090 --> 00:26:18,290
don't usually cry and get emotional.

310
00:26:20,030 --> 00:26:21,390
I'm 53.

311
00:26:22,430 --> 00:26:25,410
I first met Joyce Armstrong when I was 18

312
00:26:25,410 --> 00:26:29,250
at Omega Boys and Girls Club

313
00:26:29,250 --> 00:26:31,810
at the Petrel Hill Neighborhood House.

314
00:26:32,950 --> 00:26:36,130
And of course, growing up in the Bayview Hunters Point,

315
00:26:36,550 --> 00:26:38,690
I had many examples of leadership,

316
00:26:39,070 --> 00:26:40,730
especially with the Big Five.

317
00:26:40,730 --> 00:26:51,950
life. But my life has been a beautiful movie. I was blessed to be directly in office, like

318
00:26:51,950 --> 00:27:00,270
work office, shoulder to shoulder with Joyce Armstrong and the great Neola Maxwell.

319
00:27:02,430 --> 00:27:02,770
I've

320
00:27:02,770 --> 00:27:12,450
learned so much from them. So that's like 35 years. We reunited at the Housing Authority.

321
00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:24,280
2004, Neola became our treasurer of PHTA. We've been working hard and strong for decades.

322
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:32,480
I've learned so much from them and we all know they've been through some tremendous

323
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:39,580
adversity these past couple of years but they keep pushing y'all keep praying for

324
00:27:39,580 --> 00:27:45,980
them keep uplifting them keep encouraging them because they carry a lot

325
00:27:45,980 --> 00:27:51,560
not just their families they are serving leaders they give to this city

326
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:58,000
people respect them nationwide they seek their advice and knowledge so

327
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,820
So let's keep them encouraged, let's keep our resident leaders encouraged as we encourage

328
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:05,440
and pray for all of you.

329
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,680
Thank you.

330
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:18,080
Any more comments from members of the public in honor of the leadership and service of Joyce

331
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,700
Armstrong and Neola Gans?

332
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,420
We got somebody online.

333
00:28:24,260 --> 00:28:24,800
Dennis Williams.

334
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:28,600
Can you hear me?

335
00:28:29,460 --> 00:28:29,680
Yes.

336
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:31,020
Good morning.

337
00:28:31,020 --> 00:28:37,540
I just want to second and third everyone and congratulate the pillars of our

338
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:42,640
community. I said congratulations to Ms. Leola Gaines as well as George Armstrong

339
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:48,440
who was instrumental at Plaza East as our resident councillor as Martha stated

340
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:55,080
earlier during our redevelopment. Listening to the community, listening to

341
00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:02,120
moms and and and other leaders in the community talk about the uninhabitable living conditions

342
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:10,200
that we were experiencing and what we could do to help. So I that doesn't it doesn't fall on deaf

343
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,460
ears all the years that we were all together and that they would come from Berna and other

344
00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:18,740
places. So I just want to thank that and also the work that they do around the city

345
00:29:18,740 --> 00:29:24,140
and not just over here in D5. I just want to say this is their day and thank you the

346
00:29:24,140 --> 00:29:29,440
to our community, black women, intelligent and strong, and Queens of San Francisco.

347
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:30,420
So thank you.

348
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,220
I look forward to working with them or any resources that they have for up-and-coming

349
00:29:36,860 --> 00:29:38,540
black leaders as myself.

350
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:39,340
Thank you much.

351
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:44,030
All right.

352
00:29:44,150 --> 00:29:48,190
Any more comments or observations from commissioners?

353
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:51,240
All right.

354
00:29:51,780 --> 00:29:57,120
Well, I know it was early, Madam President, and I know it was early Ms. Ganz.

355
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,040
I want to make sure that

356
00:30:00,570 --> 00:30:15,890
You know, and I hope that the rest of your day is light on your feet knowing that you get to enjoy being recognized and receiving the accolades that you so rightfully deserve for your leadership and your commitment to the people of San Francisco and the residents of public housing.

357
00:30:16,610 --> 00:30:27,190
It really is an honor to be able to work with you and learn from you, and I hope that you both and you, Kimberly, as well, get to enjoy a magnificent day just in honor of the service that you've been doing.

358
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:31,250
Well, just know we're going back to Berlin, give out 30 more turkeys.

359
00:30:32,470 --> 00:30:37,710
We gave out 60 on Wednesday, and some vegetable boxes.

360
00:30:37,970 --> 00:30:41,610
So you know, we really appreciate what you've done for us.

361
00:30:45,150 --> 00:30:54,110
Lindo, we met when I was doing the Hope SF training, and he's been a great friend

362
00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:57,630
and provided us insight and when we needed him

363
00:30:57,630 --> 00:31:00,150
and called on him for many, many years.

364
00:31:00,530 --> 00:31:04,470
So all of you, we appreciate you being here

365
00:31:04,470 --> 00:31:06,650
to represent the residents.

366
00:31:07,610 --> 00:31:10,010
And Madam CEO, did I say it right?

367
00:31:10,530 --> 00:31:15,230
Because you have a lot of time with CEO, O-O-E-I-E-I-O.

368
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:21,790
All of you, Linda, Bennett, thank you for hanging in there

369
00:31:21,790 --> 00:31:28,490
why my email was compromised. They said I was selling a Mercedes, an Infiniti. I've

370
00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:32,510
been asking for money and everybody was like, that don't sound like Joyce. Thank God they

371
00:31:32,510 --> 00:31:38,930
knew that it was something that wasn't right. But we want to appreciate you and do expect

372
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:44,150
your continued support as we move on through this year and next year.

373
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:55,900
Thank you again so so much please I'm not one to speak I just do but I just want

374
00:31:55,900 --> 00:32:03,040
to thank you commissioners and the housing authority for recognizing Joyce

375
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:09,540
and I yes it's been a long haul and it's been a many days that I wanted to

376
00:32:09,540 --> 00:32:11,400
quit. But

377
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:33,110
I'm getting up in age and I can't do like I used to, but I tried to. Some days

378
00:32:33,530 --> 00:32:39,990
is up, some days are down. But I just want to say thank you for you guys recognizing

379
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:45,710
me and Joyce and everyone who's here today. Thank you.

380
00:32:46,550 --> 00:32:47,310
Thank you.

381
00:32:53,060 --> 00:32:53,840
All right.

382
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,780
Thank you all so much for being here for that moment.

383
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,760
CEO Letizu, do you have other items in general communication you want to move into,

384
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,420
or should we move to Plaza East and the finance report first?

385
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,700
Okay, great. We'll move forward to Plaza East then.

386
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:14,440
That's item 7a for the Plaza East update, and we have Ron Bowen from John Stewart Company.

387
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:23,780
Hi Joyce.

388
00:33:24,140 --> 00:33:24,360
Hi.

389
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,860
You're a pretty hard act to follow.

390
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,140
Good morning, commissioners.

391
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:42,430
Thank you

392
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:58,080
so much. Our first slide is staffing. Last time we met, we were short to staff members

393
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:04,860
and assistant manager and maintenance tech. And during the reporting period, that was

394
00:34:04,860 --> 00:34:10,040
still true. However, we hired an assistant manager on November 12th, and yesterday we

395
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,640
We made an offer to a maintenance tech that's been working as a temp.

396
00:34:13,180 --> 00:34:15,360
So we're just about fully staffed again.

397
00:34:15,660 --> 00:34:17,440
So really happy to report that.

398
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,420
I went down and met the new assistant manager.

399
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,800
She has a lot of experience, strong ties in the communities.

400
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,780
We met with the tenant council and introduced her.

401
00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:30,180
So that's exciting news for us.

402
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:31,900
Next slide, please.

403
00:34:36,130 --> 00:34:38,230
I should probably apologize for not being here last month.

404
00:34:38,330 --> 00:34:39,710
We had a leadership training.

405
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:45,110
so I haven't been here since the August report so if you have any questions

406
00:34:45,110 --> 00:34:49,550
going back a couple months I can also take those but last month we did

407
00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:56,950
completed 205 work orders which is the largest amount we have ever done at the

408
00:34:56,950 --> 00:35:00,610
end of October we had two work orders left both of those were for vacant

409
00:35:00,610 --> 00:35:10,180
units in September we had 16 work orders left when we ended the month

410
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:15,580
That was because we opened a bunch right before the first of the month and didn't close them for a couple days

411
00:35:16,240 --> 00:35:18,140
None of them were emergency work orders

412
00:35:19,020 --> 00:35:24,260
In September and October both there were no emergency work orders that went over one day or

413
00:35:24,980 --> 00:35:26,900
Went from one month to the next

414
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:32,560
Is there any questions on the the work order report? I

415
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,920
Do really thank you very much

416
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,500
I know that we engage in a lot of back-and-forth in the meetings

417
00:35:37,500 --> 00:35:41,060
and I do really want to acknowledge all the work that you do in trying to sort of take

418
00:35:41,060 --> 00:35:43,100
the feedback and making changes.

419
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,860
So thank you very much and I appreciate the end of balance total.

420
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:47,780
Thank you very much.

421
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,960
Yeah, there's a little story behind that because I looked at it one month.

422
00:35:52,460 --> 00:35:57,800
So the property management software we use is pretty complicated and there's a lot of

423
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,020
manually adding things up and I noticed there was a discrepancy.

424
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,200
So I said we need to start adding this up each month because sometimes you're

425
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,780
carrying things over for a month before.

426
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:11,040
four, as you first pointed out. It's also interesting, for several months when we first

427
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,140
started talking, we had zero work orders left over at the end of the month. But the last

428
00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:19,440
three or four months, we've had them overhanging each month. So I've been tracking that.

429
00:36:21,820 --> 00:36:22,720
Next slide, please.

430
00:36:28,450 --> 00:36:34,930
This is a snapshot of the next five slides. It was what we used

431
00:36:34,930 --> 00:36:38,550
to use before. So if we could just go past this, if you don't mind. And I'll go

432
00:36:38,550 --> 00:36:47,780
through it frame by frame. The first one is occupied units. In October, we moved one person

433
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:50,520
in. So that was the only change on this slide.

434
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:58,010
This is vacant and rentable. This number went

435
00:36:58,010 --> 00:37:05,110
from six to seven. And in reality, we turned two units over. But one was rented and the

436
00:37:05,110 --> 00:37:06,950
other remains rentable.

437
00:37:09,470 --> 00:37:10,530
Next slide, please.

438
00:37:14,220 --> 00:37:15,940
Vacant and under remodeling is exactly

439
00:37:15,940 --> 00:37:20,920
what it sounds like, and you'll see that this number reduced by two in October, and those

440
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,920
are the two that I just discussed. One went to the vacant and rentable category, and one

441
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,860
went to the occupied category. Next slide, please.

442
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:41,280
These are units that are offline because they need significant repairs. They also include

443
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,300
four units for security and services and the employee unit.

444
00:37:49,180 --> 00:37:53,820
Just on the, with regards, thank you again so much for this, it's really, it's very helpful.

445
00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:59,720
With regards to the address with other funds, are those, for those units needing extensive

446
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:05,600
repairs that we're seeing here in that 18 number that will need them, is the intent

447
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,700
here to draw down from funds to be awarded as part of the RFP process?

448
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:12,420
That's my understanding.

449
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:13,140
Okay, great.

450
00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:13,580
All right.

451
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:19,460
So, and then in terms of when that scope of work would begin, just based on our timeline

452
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:25,060
of the RFP, can we speak just generally about that or if we can speak specifically even

453
00:38:25,060 --> 00:38:25,580
better?

454
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,860
So, that's for the vacant unit RFP, the proposal I do today, so it's closing today.

455
00:38:34,340 --> 00:38:37,980
So our hope is we'll do the scoring and bring it to commission for approval next

456
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:42,420
month and our hope is by early next year we'll be able to start the work for all

457
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:42,800
the vacant unit.

458
00:38:43,020 --> 00:38:43,660
Okay, great.

459
00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:46,620
All right, so the RFP process will conclude today by what time?

460
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:48,160
3 p.m.

461
00:38:48,420 --> 00:38:49,560
By 3 p.m.

462
00:38:49,700 --> 00:38:55,520
So for those individuals that are seeking to benefit from contracting

463
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,520
dollars that are available for these types of repairs, they would need to respond by 3 p.m.

464
00:38:59,520 --> 00:38:59,740
today.

465
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,140
The information is on the website.

466
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:02,360
Correct.

467
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,660
And then we'll come back and hear that.

468
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,500
I'm to formally approve the decision with regards to those applications after

469
00:39:08,500 --> 00:39:11,760
your internal review process here at the commission that will take place.

470
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:17,760
I want to say in the second week of December and again that will be a

471
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,980
special meeting again when we'll hear that item for the plaza east there and

472
00:39:20,980 --> 00:39:25,760
then that work will then hopefully commence after conversations with the

473
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,740
awardee in January of 2025. Okay great thank you.

474
00:39:34,830 --> 00:39:36,570
Okay that was very helpful

475
00:39:36,570 --> 00:39:37,390
next slide please.

476
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,360
These are the same numbers again all together showing the

477
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,540
movement between the buckets of units.

478
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:51,910
Next slide please.

479
00:39:55,390 --> 00:39:57,130
These show the move-ins, which

480
00:39:57,130 --> 00:40:01,490
there was one and there were no move-outs. I don't have a slide on occupancy, but I do

481
00:40:01,490 --> 00:40:07,870
want to mention that we have seven units and we have applicants. We have had in the last

482
00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:12,130
couple months seven applicants. Some have declined the unit, some are in process, some

483
00:40:12,130 --> 00:40:18,570
are getting pretty close to moving in, so that's exciting news. We will report on

484
00:40:18,570 --> 00:40:23,430
that after they move in I will report to the board on the length of time it took us to

485
00:40:23,430 --> 00:40:28,170
process the applicants that seem to be of some interest a few months ago so we continue

486
00:40:28,170 --> 00:40:28,850
to track that.

487
00:40:30,980 --> 00:40:37,260
Just a quick question for clarification. I see that you put under pending both sort

488
00:40:37,260 --> 00:40:43,060
of needing extensive repairs and offline but those offline will just remain offline because

489
00:40:43,060 --> 00:40:48,040
they're needed for security storage and things like that or is the plan to eventually take

490
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:52,840
Because I just wonder whether they wouldn't necessarily be in the pending unless at some

491
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,320
point they're going to go into a rentable unit.

492
00:40:57,180 --> 00:40:58,440
Those are two different categories.

493
00:40:58,660 --> 00:40:59,040
Does that make sense?

494
00:40:59,380 --> 00:40:59,660
Sure.

495
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:00,200
Exactly.

496
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,020
So ultimately that is an owner question, but I will tell you the intent as far as

497
00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:04,520
I know it.

498
00:41:05,060 --> 00:41:06,580
Those units will stay offline.

499
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,340
HUD has kind of a weird way of counting them.

500
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,920
If it was a different type of building, we wouldn't even count them as a resident

501
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,320
unit because they're not really resident units.

502
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:20,360
There is a service office, there's a security office, there's two security

503
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,700
offices, and there's a storage office, and I think we intend those to stay that

504
00:41:23,700 --> 00:41:29,600
way. But I can't speak necessarily for what may happen in coming years.

505
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:31,000
Okay.

506
00:41:34,140 --> 00:41:39,340
Commissioner, so they are on our books, they're offline, and we have to

507
00:41:39,940 --> 00:41:44,800
obtain approval from HUD to have offline units, so they will continue

508
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:53,730
you to remain offline. That concludes my report. Is there any questions? How are

509
00:41:53,730 --> 00:41:58,890
you planning for the season that we're in right now? Do you mean the weather? Yeah.

510
00:41:59,230 --> 00:42:05,230
Well we did last month, we did a gutter cleaning, so we do that twice a year. We

511
00:42:05,230 --> 00:42:08,810
do it after the rain, sorry, after the leaves fall and before the leaves fall.

512
00:42:09,530 --> 00:42:15,110
So we took care of that. You know, summer and winter we do daily walks of

513
00:42:15,110 --> 00:42:24,310
the entire property to check for floods and blockages downspouts that get blocked up, things

514
00:42:24,310 --> 00:42:24,830
like that.

515
00:42:25,070 --> 00:42:28,130
Security doesn't walk every night, they also check on maintenance items.

516
00:42:29,870 --> 00:42:34,510
We have some dehumidifiers in place in case of leaks or things like that.

517
00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:41,970
So how is coordination going with the city on any other outstanding issues?

518
00:42:41,970 --> 00:42:46,430
I mean, I know we have a very specific budget to deal with issues on-site, maintenance,

519
00:42:46,530 --> 00:42:49,190
et cetera, landscaping.

520
00:42:49,510 --> 00:42:53,350
Are there any other additional items that the city could be supportive in?

521
00:42:53,550 --> 00:42:54,910
And how is that coordination going?

522
00:42:55,650 --> 00:42:56,710
I'd say it goes well.

523
00:42:57,030 --> 00:43:01,370
I mean, I think what you're asking about would be things that come up that are on

524
00:43:01,370 --> 00:43:02,510
budget hit or on planned.

525
00:43:04,330 --> 00:43:09,950
So when that happens, per our management agreement, we ask for approval, we get

526
00:43:09,950 --> 00:43:17,190
bids. We get things done that may have been not foreseen when we did the budget. So it's

527
00:43:17,190 --> 00:43:23,090
going well. The property manager is getting the bids needed. The San Francisco Housing

528
00:43:23,090 --> 00:43:24,110
Authority has approved them.

529
00:43:26,750 --> 00:43:31,430
We continue to meet. Is it bi-weekly? We meet with services,

530
00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:39,050
houses, the housing authority, and the John Stewart company and discuss the needs of the

531
00:43:39,050 --> 00:43:43,630
property, how things are going with the residents, strategize on things going forward.

532
00:43:43,910 --> 00:43:48,670
And further support of the city department agencies such as the police department, Department

533
00:43:48,670 --> 00:43:55,150
of Public Works, or the Department of Homelessness and Support of Housing, are there any other

534
00:43:55,150 --> 00:44:00,210
additional issues that you're in conversation with them about or need their support on?

535
00:44:00,210 --> 00:44:07,190
Not at this time. Okay. Great. Thank you so much. All right. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving.

536
00:44:10,020 --> 00:44:12,580
We also have a services update from FRH Consulting.

537
00:44:23,820 --> 00:44:25,920
Good morning. Good morning, commissioners.

538
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:29,580
I'm Camille Hegnia, service coordinator at Plaza East.

539
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,680
Shaquembergette, a services coordinator at Plaza East.

540
00:44:33,620 --> 00:44:39,060
For the month of October, services have successfully assisted with all up-to-date relocations,

541
00:44:39,060 --> 00:44:44,560
hosted a coffee hour for eight residents, provided weekly hot meals to 24 families on

542
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:50,380
site every Wednesday. We partnered with the Tenant Association to offer senior programming

543
00:44:50,380 --> 00:44:57,060
bingo on the last Tuesday of each month. 16 residents attended our last one, assisted with

544
00:44:57,060 --> 00:44:59,660
with scheduling, killing, and wellness one-on-one.

545
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:09,120
For two residents on site with DPH, we partnered with Booker T to provide Halloween giveaway with

546
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,960
the truck of treat. We had pumpkin pickups. They also provided us with some used bikes

547
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:18,400
to give away to residents on site. Yes. We were also able to assist property

548
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,660
management without reach for work order meetings and making sure that the residents

549
00:45:22,660 --> 00:45:27,480
understand that they are not at fault for reporting anything that needs to be fixed

550
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:33,240
in the unit. We were also able to provide five residents with different pieces of clothing

551
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:39,400
and socks. Thank you Housing Authority for your donation. We are also accepting donations

552
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:46,120
for our community closet at this time, so that'll be children's, teens, adults, both

553
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:51,720
men and women. We're accepting lightly used clothing, socks, jackets, especially

554
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:57,020
during this rainy weather season as well. And overall throughout October we were

555
00:45:57,020 --> 00:46:04,400
able to service 155 residents with connections, referrals, and assistance through either financial

556
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,280
coaching and or PG&E assistance.

557
00:46:08,300 --> 00:46:08,640
Thank you.

558
00:46:08,780 --> 00:46:09,120
Thank you.

559
00:46:09,420 --> 00:46:10,540
Any questions for services?

560
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:13,040
No.

561
00:46:13,300 --> 00:46:13,960
Thank you so much.

562
00:46:14,180 --> 00:46:14,360
All right.

563
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:14,860
Thank you.

564
00:46:14,940 --> 00:46:15,060
All right.

565
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:15,200
Thank you.

566
00:46:15,220 --> 00:46:16,700
And happy holidays and happy Thanksgiving.

567
00:46:16,980 --> 00:46:18,120
Happy holidays and happy Thanksgiving.

568
00:46:21,220 --> 00:46:21,640
Yeah, yeah.

569
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:26,780
Ms. Martha, is there anything you'd like to add to the reports?

570
00:46:48,970 --> 00:46:49,570
Yeah, I can.

571
00:46:50,530 --> 00:46:53,310
I'd like for you all to meet a member of my board.

572
00:46:53,310 --> 00:46:56,370
This is Calvin, Calvin, what's your last name?

573
00:46:56,550 --> 00:46:56,850
Sudeen.

574
00:46:57,070 --> 00:46:58,870
Sudeen, Calvin Sudeen.

575
00:46:59,510 --> 00:47:04,950
And he is wanting to say, did you want to say something?

576
00:47:06,910 --> 00:47:07,490
No?

577
00:47:08,730 --> 00:47:09,570
He's new.

578
00:47:11,130 --> 00:47:14,570
So we have to look over him a little bit, bless his heart.

579
00:47:16,910 --> 00:47:31,690
Now, as far as just a few minutes on our FRH report, the resident council, and I want you

580
00:47:31,690 --> 00:47:36,670
all to understand that the resident council has not been dormant, okay?

581
00:47:37,390 --> 00:47:43,810
We've been working very hard in our community, and we've been keeping up with our, or trying

582
00:47:43,810 --> 00:47:49,470
to keep up with all of our events and all of our programs that we're giving.

583
00:47:50,730 --> 00:47:56,130
We cannot really do too much as far as our programs.

584
00:47:56,410 --> 00:48:02,770
Our after-school program had to shut down because of non-funding.

585
00:48:02,770 --> 00:48:14,250
funding. And our senior program, basically, myself, Ms. Lee and Ms. Lily puts money out

586
00:48:14,250 --> 00:48:20,470
of our own pocket to keep that senior program going because that senior program is very

587
00:48:20,470 --> 00:48:28,150
important in our community for older people, okay? Because our seniors cannot, you know,

588
00:48:28,210 --> 00:48:31,510
they don't want to go anywhere else. They don't want to go to Book of T. They don't

589
00:48:31,510 --> 00:48:35,510
want to go downhill or whatever the case may be they want to stay in their own

590
00:48:35,510 --> 00:48:42,890
community that's why I created this senior program okay as far as our service

591
00:48:42,890 --> 00:48:48,890
providers are concerned you know with the things I have their calendars I have

592
00:48:48,890 --> 00:48:54,650
their flyers I have everything to show you if you need that evidence to show

593
00:48:54,650 --> 00:48:59,370
you what they really have been doing in the community now they have not

594
00:48:59,370 --> 00:49:03,730
reported to me that they were doing 150-something residents or whatever the

595
00:49:03,730 --> 00:49:10,650
case may be. We have been doing most of our work in the community. What they

596
00:49:10,650 --> 00:49:18,030
have been doing we don't know, okay. A few residents mostly come to us and

597
00:49:18,030 --> 00:49:23,570
tell us either where are they, they can't get in touch with them, you know,

598
00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:28,570
and a few other things that's going on. I had given them a contract to

599
00:49:28,570 --> 00:49:38,150
follow for our community like an MOU. We have not had any satisfaction there. Okay. And you

600
00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:45,330
know, it's just, it's just not working, in other words, not working. So what we're doing

601
00:49:45,330 --> 00:49:54,770
now is trying to get our O, our LOA to the housing authority so we can have a meeting

602
00:49:54,770 --> 00:50:01,850
to try to find out what will be our moving forward position.

603
00:50:02,570 --> 00:50:10,090
Okay, we need to know because, you know, we've been in this void for a long, long time.

604
00:50:11,210 --> 00:50:17,210
We've had people to come into the community telling us all kinds of different things

605
00:50:17,210 --> 00:50:22,930
that they're going to do, excuse me, they're going to do but never do, you know, resonate.

606
00:50:23,890 --> 00:50:29,470
And, you know, we've been disappointed and we've been let down and we feel like we're

607
00:50:29,470 --> 00:50:30,930
lost, okay?

608
00:50:31,370 --> 00:50:38,310
So therefore, we are just asking to please, you know, come and meet with us, please,

609
00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:47,410
and let us know, give us some, you know, rest to our minds, to our residents' minds,

610
00:50:47,530 --> 00:50:48,370
to our community.

611
00:50:49,130 --> 00:50:50,570
We need that, you know?

612
00:50:50,570 --> 00:50:56,930
know, we have been in the community for a long, long time. We know what goes on there.

613
00:50:57,570 --> 00:51:02,750
And we, you know, I'm not standing before you today just a lie. You know, I'm telling

614
00:51:02,750 --> 00:51:08,450
you what's happening in Plaza East. I am the resident council. People come to me. They

615
00:51:08,450 --> 00:51:14,630
tell me what's going on in their units. I've been working with Ron Bowen.

616
00:51:18,210 --> 00:51:18,770
He's

617
00:51:18,770 --> 00:51:28,450
hard, you know, to, you know, let our tenants know that, you know, we can count, you know,

618
00:51:28,590 --> 00:51:36,210
on him. And he and I have, you know, gotten a really good report with each other. Ms.

619
00:51:36,310 --> 00:51:40,070
Martha, he would tell me, you know, just tell me, whoever is in the community that

620
00:51:40,070 --> 00:51:44,950
comes to you, you know, because they do come to me. And who comes to you and lets

621
00:51:44,950 --> 00:51:48,070
you know what's going wrong with their units, let me know.

622
00:51:48,790 --> 00:51:53,970
And this is the kind of respect in the community that we need.

623
00:51:54,390 --> 00:51:56,570
Everybody wants respect in their community.

624
00:51:57,010 --> 00:51:59,830
Everybody deserves respect in their community.

625
00:52:00,370 --> 00:52:04,810
We are just not tossed away like the wind.

626
00:52:05,110 --> 00:52:13,090
We are a community of people who need and who are trying to move forward so we can

627
00:52:13,090 --> 00:52:17,970
do other things in this this year coming up. So we can do better things for our

628
00:52:17,970 --> 00:52:27,690
community, okay? So that's about all I have to say. We do have this LOA. We want

629
00:52:27,690 --> 00:52:31,550
to meet with the Housing Authority. We want to talk and we want to talk, you

630
00:52:31,550 --> 00:52:35,950
know, like adults. We don't want to, you know, get in disputes with one

631
00:52:35,950 --> 00:52:43,250
another and we don't want to you know you know just just ignore each other's

632
00:52:43,250 --> 00:52:49,190
needs we want each other we want to be respected like everybody else respects I

633
00:52:49,190 --> 00:52:56,450
respect you all as a commissioner and Plaza East wants to be respected too we

634
00:52:56,450 --> 00:53:00,210
really do thank you thank you so much miss Martha Calvin did you have anything

635
00:53:00,210 --> 00:53:00,910
that? Yes.

636
00:53:03,350 --> 00:53:05,290
Okay. I'm sorry.

637
00:53:09,570 --> 00:53:13,650
Well, in the fact that not knowing what's going on with Plaza

638
00:53:13,650 --> 00:53:22,750
East, that's stressful. I had pronged with rats. And the management didn't take care

639
00:53:22,750 --> 00:53:31,710
of it, so I had to take care of myself. And so I got three cats, which took care of that.

640
00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:43,450
And the stress is not knowing what's going on with Plaza Ease. And now I have these cats

641
00:53:43,450 --> 00:53:51,330
to take care of. And I don't know what's going to happen if I will have to, if I move,

642
00:53:51,330 --> 00:53:53,570
I would have to get rid of them or whatever.

643
00:53:56,850 --> 00:54:06,310
And so the thing is the failure of engaging with residents, housing authorities,

644
00:54:12,130 --> 00:54:20,730
and we basically need to get together and find out what's going on with Plaza East.

645
00:54:21,610 --> 00:54:29,070
Calvin, thank you so much for that and what we will do is plan to have a follow-up meeting

646
00:54:30,190 --> 00:54:36,590
with Plaza East, Resident Counsel, the DAC, and invite our partners to be present in the

647
00:54:36,590 --> 00:54:44,570
room so we can all have a conversation at once about what our plans are moving forward.

648
00:54:44,570 --> 00:54:51,330
forward. As of right now, as we've said in previous meetings, based on our conversations,

649
00:54:52,190 --> 00:54:58,250
our priority and focus to date has been just on getting the service dollars out the door

650
00:54:59,270 --> 00:55:05,830
so that we can complement existing services that other study departments are invested

651
00:55:05,830 --> 00:55:12,310
in at Plaza East to complement that and also to ensure that those capital improvement

652
00:55:12,310 --> 00:55:17,690
dollars are out on the street so that those units as listed earlier can be

653
00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:21,830
taken care of and that's what our focus is right now but let's set up that

654
00:55:21,830 --> 00:55:27,230
meeting and why don't we plan on doing that in right after the Thanksgiving

655
00:55:27,230 --> 00:55:32,590
holiday in December and you should plan to hear from us to help set up that

656
00:55:32,590 --> 00:55:36,870
date moving forward so thank you so much and we'll plan on doing that

657
00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:39,990
probably right before our next Commission meeting okay all right thank

658
00:55:39,990 --> 00:55:40,130
Thank you.

659
00:55:40,270 --> 00:55:41,910
Thank you all so much and happy holidays.

660
00:55:42,050 --> 00:55:43,550
I'm glad the turkey giveaways are going well.

661
00:55:43,830 --> 00:55:47,830
I'm glad that property management, as we are feeling, you are feeling as well that there

662
00:55:47,830 --> 00:55:49,010
is a positive movement there.

663
00:55:49,610 --> 00:55:53,230
And we just have some more work to do, and I want to thank everyone for the services and

664
00:55:53,230 --> 00:55:58,510
the work that are occurring at Plaza East, ensuring our families and our seniors and

665
00:55:58,510 --> 00:55:59,530
residents are being served.

666
00:55:59,810 --> 00:56:03,170
And we always know that we can do more, and that's our commitment to come and

667
00:56:03,170 --> 00:56:04,750
sit down with you and discuss that.

668
00:56:04,970 --> 00:56:05,590
Thank you so much.

669
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,340
Item 7B is the finance report,

670
00:56:15,650 --> 00:56:17,590
and this also has a slide presentation as well.

671
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,920
Thank you, commissioners. Good morning to everyone.

672
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:22,620
Good morning.

673
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,480
So I think, so obviously we have two reports today.

674
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:32,220
One is the finance reports and the other one is an update on the investment that we have done for the authority.

675
00:56:33,420 --> 00:56:40,900
And this report is really a focus looking backwards because we're going to look at what we did in fiscal year 2024, right?

676
00:56:40,900 --> 00:56:48,800
So our fiscal year ended September 30th, 2024, and if you look at the housing choice voucher

677
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:54,320
program, just looking at the revenues, the revenues were in line with what the approved

678
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:55,120
budget was.

679
00:56:56,460 --> 00:56:59,820
So there's really not much discussion to be had over there.

680
00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:07,880
On the expenses line, we did have a savings over the budget of about roughly $3 million.

681
00:57:08,980 --> 00:57:16,220
A lot of that was really concentrated in the IT modernization that we planned to take on

682
00:57:16,220 --> 00:57:19,460
in 24 and that was pushed out to fiscal year 25.

683
00:57:20,300 --> 00:57:26,560
So that money will be spent on the IT modernization and the other part is the tenant services

684
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:31,260
money that we talked about when we did our fiscal year 25 and we gave you the details

685
00:57:31,260 --> 00:57:39,800
behind that. That was also pushed out to 25. You know, just as a background, we have about 200

686
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:47,200
vouchers currently out on the street. If you look to spend the tenant services portion on those 200

687
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:53,520
vouchers, that'll be about a million dollars. So we expect in 25, even without issuing any

688
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:58,100
additional vouchers, there'll be a million dollars spent from tenant services for those

689
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:05,300
$200 vouchers. Helping them with application fees, security deposit, utility expenses, so

690
00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:13,120
forth and so on. And then the other thing I wanted to discuss and as Bennett gets through

691
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:19,080
the slide, we always talk about the admin fees for HCV. But there's another portion

692
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,720
of the HCV project that we rarely talk about and that's really the HAP funding.

693
00:58:25,780 --> 00:58:26,360
Next slide.

694
00:58:29,710 --> 00:58:36,030
the HAP funding of $394 million. Next slide please. And what I wanted to do was really

695
00:58:36,030 --> 00:58:40,790
take an opportunity and break down the HAP funding into really what are all the different

696
00:58:40,790 --> 00:58:46,330
services that we provide. We keep talking about the HCV bucket. But really if you look

697
00:58:46,330 --> 00:58:51,830
at this slide, these are all the services that we provide for that $394 million. So

698
00:58:51,830 --> 00:58:58,910
So we provide, you know, 844 vouchers for the Veterans Affair, and this is obviously just

699
00:58:58,910 --> 00:59:02,170
like it sounds, right, to provide rental assistance for veterans.

700
00:59:02,750 --> 00:59:09,690
We also have 110 vouchers out on a monthly basis for the Family Unification Program,

701
00:59:09,810 --> 00:59:13,990
and this is really to address families who are at risk of being separated from their

702
00:59:13,990 --> 00:59:16,610
children due to lack of adequate housing.

703
00:59:17,830 --> 00:59:24,850
We also do the foster to youth independence, and this we highlighted in our 25, right?

704
00:59:25,010 --> 00:59:31,550
And this is providing vouchers to youths between 18 and 18 to 25 years old who have been in foster care

705
00:59:31,550 --> 00:59:33,690
and want to come out of the foster care.

706
00:59:34,370 --> 00:59:42,770
And this is one we highlighted where for this program we specifically got 17 competitive vouchers

707
00:59:42,770 --> 00:59:44,550
for the foster youth.

708
00:59:44,550 --> 00:59:49,810
And the way you get those competitive vouchers is you have to have a utilization that's about 90%.

709
00:59:49,810 --> 00:59:55,250
I think a current utilization at the end of October was almost 94, 95%.

710
00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:59,710
And then the last part of this is the home ownership.

711
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,520
Program. And we see, we have, in totality, we address seven families in home ownership.

712
01:00:08,460 --> 01:00:14,880
And just to highlight this, in ever since our existence, prior to last year, we had four people

713
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,940
in home ownership. Last year, we were able to move three people into home ownership.

714
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:25,680
And so that's quite a feat when you think about what we had in the history. And again,

715
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:32,860
In this, the home ownership, the foster use independence, and the FSS programs are areas

716
01:00:32,860 --> 01:00:38,960
of programs that we highlighted that will focus on FY 2025 as we look to spend the money.

717
01:00:42,930 --> 01:00:43,730
Next slide, please.

718
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,700
And I'll keep going until there's any questions.

719
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:52,100
The next slide is on the emergency housing voucher.

720
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,260
And again, once over here, you'll see we are pretty much in line with the budget.

721
01:00:57,260 --> 01:01:00,780
Obviously, we have additional admin subsidy.

722
01:01:01,580 --> 01:01:06,200
Not sure we were able to use the vouchers of the 906 by the end of September.

723
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:11,100
Obviously, by today, we're well above the 906 vouchers that were leased.

724
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:20,080
On the administrative expenses front, again, the savings that you see over there is really

725
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:26,460
related to both the IT modernization that we were going to undertake in 25 got pushed

726
01:01:26,460 --> 01:01:34,000
out and also some of the tenant services that got pushed out that will probably end up spending

727
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:34,820
in FY 2025.

728
01:01:37,820 --> 01:01:43,660
And I think on the next slide please. I think this is just to give you an overall of

729
01:01:43,660 --> 01:01:50,240
where we stand with the number of vouchers issued on EHV. As you can see back in October 2022

730
01:01:50,240 --> 01:02:00,300
When we started this program, we were barely over 300, and over the last fiscal year, we

731
01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:07,040
really ramped up the number of vouchers to exceed the 906 vouchers that were awarded

732
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:07,500
to us.

733
01:02:15,100 --> 01:02:15,660
Next slide, please.

734
01:02:18,290 --> 01:02:20,770
This is on the central office cost center.

735
01:02:22,850 --> 01:02:27,790
The management fee revenues, as we expected for each program, were in line, so we expected

736
01:02:27,790 --> 01:02:34,590
the management fee revenues to be in line. The other revenues of $1.8 million is a lot of

737
01:02:34,590 --> 01:02:42,350
ancillary revenue that we get from the North Beach surplus, from the dividends we get from

738
01:02:42,350 --> 01:02:50,910
insurance companies. We had about an additional $100,000 when we sold our cars that we had

739
01:02:50,910 --> 01:02:56,130
when we had a reduction in force. We had extra vehicles that we no longer needed,

740
01:02:56,130 --> 01:03:04,390
so we got 100K. So all in all, the total is about $1.8 million that we have in other revenues.

741
01:03:05,850 --> 01:03:13,570
On the expenses line, our compensation was over budget. This was really related to the pension

742
01:03:14,390 --> 01:03:22,770
and the health benefit that we pay for retirees. And so I think there's just a miscategorization

743
01:03:22,770 --> 01:03:27,470
of where I think the expenses lied versus where the budget lied but as you

744
01:03:27,470 --> 01:03:31,570
can see in the overall the total expenses is just slightly above the approved

745
01:03:31,570 --> 01:03:38,130
budget. So we have a saving there and then obviously the the additional saving

746
01:03:38,130 --> 01:03:43,690
will be spent as we look to undergo the IT modernization in 25.

747
01:03:47,580 --> 01:03:48,520
On the Hope 6

748
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:55,020
project or programs that we have these really address Plaza East and North

749
01:03:55,020 --> 01:04:01,260
beach properties. You know, as we've told you in the past, the amount of revenues that

750
01:04:01,260 --> 01:04:10,740
we get from HIDIS passed on 100% to these properties. In addition, in 2023, we gave

751
01:04:10,740 --> 01:04:17,920
out an additional $730,000 to Plaza East to cover the insurance expenses and to date

752
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:24,800
in fiscal year 24, we've given them another $554,000 to cover the additional expenses.

753
01:04:26,060 --> 01:04:32,620
And this does not address the amount of money of capital funds that we have allocated to

754
01:04:32,620 --> 01:04:33,420
its plaza east.

755
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:38,800
So that's an additional amount of money, and I think that totals, if I'm not mistaken,

756
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,340
close to $8 million.

757
01:04:45,790 --> 01:04:48,970
The next slide is public housing.

758
01:04:48,970 --> 01:04:55,470
housing. On the public housing, again, this is one where we draw down the subsidy as needed,

759
01:04:56,030 --> 01:05:01,390
and we have these pension withdrawal liabilities that we pay either on a monthly or quarterly

760
01:05:01,390 --> 01:05:10,150
basis. Our pension withdrawal liability at the end of September 2024, September 30th fiscal

761
01:05:10,150 --> 01:05:16,390
year was approximately $12 million. Thus far, we've paid $3 million to us at pension

762
01:05:16,390 --> 01:05:22,390
trust liability, and we paid just $1.8 million in fiscal year 2024.

763
01:05:28,900 --> 01:05:30,680
The next slide will be mainstream.

764
01:05:31,460 --> 01:05:35,240
And mainstream, this is really serving the non-elderly people with disabilities.

765
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:42,680
We serve about 200 families in this program out of the 229 available units that we have,

766
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:49,000
so we have a pretty high utilization and we'll look to increase that for the non-elderly

767
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:49,900
disabled people.

768
01:05:49,900 --> 01:05:49,980
So,

769
01:05:53,730 --> 01:05:59,630
the Mod Rehab, this is the Senator Hotel, this is the SRO building, I guess it was supposed

770
01:05:59,630 --> 01:06:06,040
to convert to RAD, not sure when that conversion will take place.

771
01:06:09,100 --> 01:06:16,280
And the last slide is just basically a combination of all the programs that you see in here again.

772
01:06:16,980 --> 01:06:18,580
Those savings are really a delay.

773
01:06:19,540 --> 01:06:23,800
And just keep in mind, we've talked about this many times, with those savings in

774
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:29,720
And each one of those programs, be it housing choice voucher, be it emergency housing, or

775
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:35,080
be it in public housing, those dollar amounts are to stay with those programs.

776
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:38,080
They can't be commingled in total.

777
01:06:39,580 --> 01:06:44,600
So the number may look big, but again, they're very specific to those individual programs.

778
01:06:49,460 --> 01:06:50,580
Next slide on the H.C.V.

779
01:06:50,740 --> 01:06:50,800
metrics.

780
01:06:55,130 --> 01:06:55,570
Thank you, Roy.

781
01:06:55,930 --> 01:06:56,810
Good morning, commissioners.

782
01:06:56,810 --> 01:07:01,910
Just wanted to give a quick update on the HDD metrics for the calendar year 2024.

783
01:07:03,010 --> 01:07:09,270
So currently we're spending around 34 million a month for the half expense and that's ready

784
01:07:09,270 --> 01:07:16,830
to pay for the subsidy for the HDD program and for this month we received 34.5 from HUD

785
01:07:17,570 --> 01:07:26,410
And for the full year, our funding authority plus the reserve we had in 2023 added up to

786
01:07:26,410 --> 01:07:27,730
406 million.

787
01:07:28,390 --> 01:07:30,950
And our spending is right at 406 million.

788
01:07:31,630 --> 01:07:37,170
So we've been in conversation with HUD because currently we are projecting a small shortfall

789
01:07:37,170 --> 01:07:42,470
for this calendar year because we are working with our contractors CVR and PM making sure

790
01:07:42,470 --> 01:07:47,990
we process all the sum of the outstanding moving, really some of the whole we have with some

791
01:07:47,990 --> 01:07:53,910
of this developer. So we do expect to have some expense to process this month. So we don't

792
01:07:53,910 --> 01:08:00,790
have the full number yet. But based on all the protection we see, we may end up either

793
01:08:00,790 --> 01:08:06,590
a small shortfall or really estimated reserve that's really small, like in the $100,000.

794
01:08:07,310 --> 01:08:10,930
So right now we're working with Heard. We've been providing some data to Heard

795
01:08:10,930 --> 01:08:13,190
And they would provide some funding if you need to.

796
01:08:13,850 --> 01:08:16,330
So that's going to be a reconciliation that we have to do with the team.

797
01:08:16,550 --> 01:08:18,550
We heard local office and the shortfall team.

798
01:08:20,090 --> 01:08:23,130
So in terms of restricted cash, we don't have any cash left.

799
01:08:23,630 --> 01:08:26,410
Right now we've been spending all the funding received from HUD.

800
01:08:27,350 --> 01:08:32,870
So we are, and this is as a result of all the leasing plan we implemented this year and last year.

801
01:08:33,370 --> 01:08:35,370
So we issued 400 PV last year.

802
01:08:35,650 --> 01:08:39,230
We've been pulling names on the waitlist and providing some voucher.

803
01:08:39,230 --> 01:08:45,570
But for 2024, and this is the first time since I've been, I don't see, HUD apply offset

804
01:08:46,090 --> 01:08:50,910
to our budget authority at first when they did the interval, data capture 10 million.

805
01:08:51,650 --> 01:08:55,350
And then later during the year, last August, they also did a second offset.

806
01:08:55,930 --> 01:09:01,150
And from what we heard as the first time, HUD did this type of offset across the country.

807
01:09:01,710 --> 01:09:05,870
And that second offset is really resulting in this situation because if it wasn't

808
01:09:05,870 --> 01:09:10,430
for that offset of 5 million, we definitely would have that 5 million reserve. But due

809
01:09:10,990 --> 01:09:18,710
to that offset in August, we are in this situation where we may end up in the shortfall for 2024.

810
01:09:19,710 --> 01:09:23,810
But shortfall meaning we are spending more than our budget authority and HUD will provide

811
01:09:23,810 --> 01:09:24,450
some budgetary funding.

812
01:09:26,490 --> 01:09:31,630
And can you, again, just talk about the offset actions that were taken by HUD. So one

813
01:09:31,630 --> 01:09:34,490
was 10 million. When was that during the calendar year?

814
01:09:34,490 --> 01:09:40,870
Because that's when the, for the renewal of 2024 kind of year, because typically for the

815
01:09:40,870 --> 01:09:45,650
renewal, how do you use your expenditure, the total expenditure from the prior year,

816
01:09:45,770 --> 01:09:47,710
and then apply a small efficient factor.

817
01:09:48,270 --> 01:09:53,190
But this year what they did, since we had over 4 million reserve last year, 40 million

818
01:09:53,190 --> 01:09:59,850
reserve, they offset our renewal instead of giving us the full funding for the amount

819
01:09:59,850 --> 01:10:01,310
of expense we did last year.

820
01:10:01,470 --> 01:10:03,110
We spent like 370 million last year.

821
01:10:03,630 --> 01:10:09,370
So we will, instead of giving us a $370 million renewal plus inflation, they offset $10 million.

822
01:10:09,870 --> 01:10:13,590
So we ended up with only $360 million budget for 2024.

823
01:10:14,830 --> 01:10:17,930
So that was one way for her to force us to use the reserve we have.

824
01:10:20,370 --> 01:10:25,190
But that surplus offset didn't have, it was $10 million, but we still had some reserve

825
01:10:25,190 --> 01:10:26,130
that took over all the expense.

826
01:10:26,690 --> 01:10:33,250
The second offset they did in August 2024, that's really what's impacting us.

827
01:10:33,510 --> 01:10:39,630
Did they give any indications that they were going to be pursuing a secondary offset that would be out of practice for them,

828
01:10:39,650 --> 01:10:41,450
even though they have the statutory right to do so?

829
01:10:41,890 --> 01:10:43,310
Yeah, they have the statutory right to do it.

830
01:10:43,450 --> 01:10:45,190
There was no indication they were going to do a second offset.

831
01:10:46,070 --> 01:10:50,470
But they give no indication that we should be expecting or planning for a second offset?

832
01:10:50,570 --> 01:10:51,250
There was no indication.

833
01:10:51,690 --> 01:10:52,330
Yes, exactly.

834
01:10:53,390 --> 01:10:58,550
When they did the offset, we actually appealed the offset, we provided all the documentation

835
01:10:58,550 --> 01:11:03,030
to show that we had the second offset that's going to put this agency at risk of shortfall.

836
01:11:03,470 --> 01:11:08,130
And did anyone within HUD give us any indication that this was about to be put in the motion

837
01:11:08,130 --> 01:11:09,950
from the regional office or otherwise?

838
01:11:10,130 --> 01:11:10,650
No, no.

839
01:11:11,010 --> 01:11:12,030
It came as a surprise for everyone.

840
01:11:12,250 --> 01:11:13,430
It was just a notification that...

841
01:11:13,430 --> 01:11:13,790
Thank you.

842
01:11:13,950 --> 01:11:14,010
Yeah.

843
01:11:19,210 --> 01:11:23,810
And that's irrespective of the countless conversations that the Housing Authority is having on

844
01:11:23,810 --> 01:11:30,890
How frequently basis is the housing authority speaking with HUD monthly basis on a monthly basis? Yes shortfall team and the local office

845
01:11:30,890 --> 01:11:31,310
so

846
01:11:32,050 --> 01:11:36,590
So local office and the shortfall team on a monthly basis of connection and no indication

847
01:11:36,590 --> 01:11:41,990
There was going to be an offset of this size to materially impact our ability to put vouchers on the street in San Francisco

848
01:11:42,590 --> 01:11:44,390
Yes, exactly great. Thank you

849
01:11:45,570 --> 01:11:47,830
And this is a two different office from earth

850
01:11:47,830 --> 01:11:52,710
So there's one office that doing the offset and the shortfall teams. It's not office

851
01:11:52,710 --> 01:11:53,310
That's going to help us.

852
01:11:53,350 --> 01:11:56,250
So the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, they're not communicating with

853
01:11:56,250 --> 01:11:59,950
each other, it's indicative of how bureaucracies work and we're seeing that happen and affect

854
01:11:59,950 --> 01:12:00,490
us right now.

855
01:12:01,190 --> 01:12:01,470
Thank you.

856
01:12:03,070 --> 01:12:03,490
Thank you.

857
01:12:04,310 --> 01:12:04,590
Question?

858
01:12:06,170 --> 01:12:07,210
No more questions for me.

859
01:12:07,390 --> 01:12:08,410
Any questions from commissioners?

860
01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:11,270
All right.

861
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:11,870
All right.

862
01:12:31,700 --> 01:12:35,520
And then my next report is just to give you a quick update on the investments

863
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,200
that we have done for the authority.

864
01:12:38,940 --> 01:12:46,920
As you know, the overall goal, the purpose of the investments, next slide, please.

865
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:49,260
Next slide.

866
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,260
It's really just to help us pay off the pension liability that we had, right?

867
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:02,920
And then the other benefit that we get from these is we can fund different initiatives

868
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,680
like the Turkey Drive, like the Toy Drive and all that.

869
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:07,920
And the objective will always remain this.

870
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:09,140
I'm sorry, just a quick question.

871
01:13:09,140 --> 01:13:12,240
The pension liability number was 14 here, but on a previous slide.

872
01:13:12,300 --> 01:13:14,580
I think there was 14 as of September 30th.

873
01:13:14,580 --> 01:13:15,440
That was the overall pension.

874
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:17,340
There was a 12 number that was earlier?

875
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:18,260
Exactly.

876
01:13:18,540 --> 01:13:20,660
And so there's 12 numbers as of October.

877
01:13:21,440 --> 01:13:21,640
Great.

878
01:13:21,780 --> 01:13:22,000
Thank you.

879
01:13:22,020 --> 01:13:22,140
Right.

880
01:13:22,580 --> 01:13:22,820
Sorry.

881
01:13:24,140 --> 01:13:25,020
You're paying attention.

882
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,260
I just want to make sure you know I'm looking at the numbers.

883
01:13:28,060 --> 01:13:28,460
Thank you.

884
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:30,000
So are we.

885
01:13:30,620 --> 01:13:31,060
Exactly.

886
01:13:33,620 --> 01:13:38,860
And the objective over here again is capital preservation, return on investment and liquidity.

887
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,520
And then we could probably just skip the next couple of slides.

888
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:46,600
Next slide.

889
01:13:48,060 --> 01:13:53,860
And I think, you know, we've still taken a look at these different options that we have available to us.

890
01:13:53,940 --> 01:13:59,180
And we still look at the U.S. Treasury being the most attractive opportunity.

891
01:13:59,560 --> 01:13:59,840
Bless you.

892
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,840
The U.S. Treasury being the most attractive opportunity that we have.

893
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:10,260
And if you go into the next slide, we have two separate programs.

894
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,340
We have one which is the COCC Reserve.

895
01:14:13,620 --> 01:14:17,920
This is just our general fund money that we are able to invest.

896
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:24,000
And as you can see, again, these are just the Depension Fund cross-library over here

897
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:24,960
is a little over 12 million.

898
01:14:25,780 --> 01:14:28,540
This was as of September 30th, 2024.

899
01:14:28,900 --> 01:14:30,040
The other one was as of current.

900
01:14:30,040 --> 01:14:38,500
And you can see over here, we will mask quite a amount of dividends, again, to help benefit

901
01:14:38,980 --> 01:14:42,020
our tenants and our residents in the city of San Francisco.

902
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:48,200
The next slide is on the public housing reserve.

903
01:14:48,440 --> 01:14:52,220
Again, if you take a look at this average throughout the time frame, certainly throughout

904
01:14:52,220 --> 01:14:58,800
the first five months, on average, we've got about 4.96 percent return on our money.

905
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,320
Which, given the current rates at about 4.3, we've been pretty good.

906
01:15:08,020 --> 01:15:09,640
That's pretty much all I have on the investments.

907
01:15:11,440 --> 01:15:13,160
Thank you. Thank you so much.

908
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:14,900
If there's

909
01:15:24,620 --> 01:15:27,160
no additional Commissioner's comment on the finance report, we continue

910
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:31,180
item number 7C for the Chief Executive, Officers General Communications.

911
01:15:46,340 --> 01:15:48,140
Thank you, everyone, for your reports.

912
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:54,600
And thank you to the staff for the continued hard work that each of you do in our agency.

913
01:15:54,600 --> 01:16:01,580
So I just want to circle back, as we know, we're headed to the holidays and lots have

914
01:16:01,580 --> 01:16:07,100
been done over the last several months to prepare for the Turkey Giveaways.

915
01:16:07,340 --> 01:16:13,000
So I want to give an update on this year's annual season of giving with the Turkey Giveaway.

916
01:16:13,180 --> 01:16:18,020
The authority worked diligently with our partners to distribute and coordinate pickup

917
01:16:18,020 --> 01:16:28,860
up 5,751 turkeys and 2,500 assembled grocery bags with all the Thanksgiving fixings across

918
01:16:28,860 --> 01:16:32,160
93 different sites and community partners this month.

919
01:16:33,140 --> 01:16:37,920
And so this annual event is important for our agency's goal to serve our residents in

920
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:41,860
the present while supporting them in their pursuit of success in the future.

921
01:16:42,300 --> 01:16:47,500
By distributing turkeys on an annual basis, this helps provide stability for our residents

922
01:16:47,500 --> 01:16:53,160
during the busy season of giving and it enables our communities to grow closer together and

923
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:57,380
consistent annual traditions, which is really important.

924
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:02,720
And we're really proud of the work that we've done so far as it relates to giving back to

925
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,080
our residents and the community at large.

926
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:10,420
And I'd like to thank the A. Phillip Randolph Institute for leading the Turkey Giveaways

927
01:17:10,420 --> 01:17:15,780
as well as our other partners at E. Burns LLC, the San Francisco Police Department

928
01:17:15,780 --> 01:17:20,200
Department and Sheriff's Department, the Rec and Parts Department, the Mayor's Office of

929
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:27,520
Housing and Community Development, the California Highway Patrol, as well as our Human Services

930
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,640
Agency for their dedicated work in this annual tradition.

931
01:17:31,580 --> 01:17:44,080
And we are also headed towards working for our next holiday event where we're doing

932
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,020
the same departments in this work.

933
01:17:50,380 --> 01:17:53,120
And then I'd like to talk

934
01:17:57,630 --> 01:18:05,630
about a serious incident that we had occurred this year on our two

935
01:18:05,630 --> 01:18:08,970
largest public housing sites that are being transformed.

936
01:18:09,310 --> 01:18:11,070
That is both Sunnydale and Petrero.

937
01:18:11,890 --> 01:18:18,070
And earlier this year, the authority received a very alarming report that individuals

938
01:18:18,070 --> 01:18:23,290
trespassing and vacant units were allegedly making rent payments to an

939
01:18:23,290 --> 01:18:28,190
EBMC employee. The authority immediately reached out to the city

940
01:18:28,190 --> 01:18:32,810
attorney's office with the request to investigate this matter. Since then the

941
01:18:32,810 --> 01:18:37,750
city attorney's office has spoken to over three dozen witnesses and two dozen

942
01:18:37,750 --> 01:18:43,730
people. And this month the San Francisco City Attorney's Office issued a

943
01:18:43,730 --> 01:18:50,210
memorandum, allegations of illegal rent collection by EVMC employee Lance

944
01:18:50,210 --> 01:18:56,370
Wittenberg cannot be substantiated. Detailing its investigation into reports

945
01:18:56,370 --> 01:19:00,830
of illegal activity involving a contract service provider of the Housing

946
01:19:00,830 --> 01:19:06,770
Authority of the City and County of San Francisco. The memorandum has just been

947
01:19:06,770 --> 01:19:11,050
shared with the Authority's Board of Commissioners. The City Attorney has

948
01:19:11,050 --> 01:19:16,710
conducted an extensive investigation into allegations of illegal rent collection at

949
01:19:16,710 --> 01:19:22,970
Petrel Hill, first reported in the newspaper Mission Local, and has discovered no evidence

950
01:19:22,970 --> 01:19:29,510
to support the claims. Of the individuals who claim to have paid Eugene Berger Management

951
01:19:29,510 --> 01:19:37,590
Corporation employee Lance Wittenberg, none could provide cooperation for their claims.

952
01:19:37,590 --> 01:19:47,150
For those individuals claimed to have paid Mr. Wittenberg during times when he was not employed by EBMC,

953
01:19:47,890 --> 01:19:54,590
and though we are heartened to see no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of our contractor, EBMC,

954
01:19:55,030 --> 01:20:01,250
three non-leaseholders reported being extorted by unknown men under threat of violence,

955
01:20:01,630 --> 01:20:05,450
and that is deeply troubling to us as an agency.

956
01:20:05,450 --> 01:20:11,690
We are disturbed by the fact that people may be targeting vulnerable people in the community.

957
01:20:12,190 --> 01:20:18,790
We take this matter very seriously while all the claims of illegal rent collection were

958
01:20:18,790 --> 01:20:25,710
made by non-leaseholders, people who were unlawfully occupying buildings slated for demolition.

959
01:20:26,110 --> 01:20:32,410
It is unacceptable to prey on vulnerable people under any circumstances.

960
01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:41,110
We will continue to work with law enforcement, the city attorney's office, and other agencies to root out this behavior.

961
01:20:41,910 --> 01:20:50,590
This situation underscores the need to keep unhabitable housing units, which are scheduled for demolition, uninhabited.

962
01:20:50,590 --> 01:20:58,410
it. Squatting is simply not safe. It's not fair to or safe for our leaseholding residents.

963
01:20:58,790 --> 01:21:06,050
And it is not safe for the non-leaseholders either. We urge anyone with knowledge or evidence

964
01:21:06,050 --> 01:21:10,990
of illegal rent collection to contact the city attorney's office by email.

965
01:21:19,810 --> 01:21:20,570
That email

966
01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:39,270
attorney at sfcityatty.org. Telephone number is 415-554-3977. Again, 415-554-3977. Our

969
01:22:08,710 --> 01:22:16,470

970
01:22:16,470 --> 01:22:24,010
Chu for its hard work and continued attention to this matter. Commissioners, that is all

971
01:22:24,010 --> 01:22:25,830
that I have to report today. Thank you.

972
01:22:25,830 --> 01:22:29,390
Great, thank you so much. I just want to say thank you for the diligent work of you and

973
01:22:29,390 --> 01:22:33,890
the authority in partnership with our vendors and of course the city attorney's office

974
01:22:33,890 --> 01:22:39,670
to address this issue. We're very appreciative at how quickly you moved on this and just

975
01:22:39,670 --> 01:22:42,810
want to say thank you very much for bringing this to our attention and communicating

976
01:22:42,810 --> 01:22:43,910
this out. Thank you.

977
01:22:46,450 --> 01:22:50,710
And I also just want to thank you again for ensuring people that they know that

978
01:22:50,710 --> 01:22:56,550
the city is going to be adamant in pursuing any and all claims in this regard so

979
01:22:56,550 --> 01:23:00,810
so we can best protect those who are within our communities.

980
01:23:00,950 --> 01:23:01,590
Thank you so much.

981
01:23:03,430 --> 01:23:08,490
I'd just like to say thank you to all of the staff

982
01:23:08,930 --> 01:23:12,090
who have worked diligently through this process,

983
01:23:12,750 --> 01:23:16,110
to Linda Mason, our general counsel,

984
01:23:16,790 --> 01:23:21,370
to Ms. Kendra Crawford, who is our housing operations.

985
01:23:22,390 --> 01:23:26,230
Thank you very much for just working alongside me

986
01:23:26,230 --> 01:23:31,110
and all of the different agencies that we have had to work with regarding this matter.

987
01:23:35,850 --> 01:23:38,630
That concludes all of the chief executive officer reports.

988
01:23:38,730 --> 01:23:40,950
We can open for public comment on item number seven.

989
01:23:45,510 --> 01:23:45,810
Hi.

990
01:23:45,910 --> 01:23:46,410
Great report.

991
01:23:46,670 --> 01:23:47,230
Thank you for that.

992
01:23:48,270 --> 01:23:53,750
In regards to your Christmas toy giveaway coming up, I have a great elf costume that

993
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:58,010
I'll be available to volunteer to give out the toys if you so desire.

994
01:23:58,390 --> 01:23:59,290
So does Commissioner Lindo.

995
01:23:59,890 --> 01:24:00,050
Okay.

996
01:24:01,590 --> 01:24:04,210
And do you know if it's too late for our

997
01:24:04,210 --> 01:24:10,310
building to get in on the turkey giveaway or who I would talk to about that.

998
01:24:12,430 --> 01:24:17,230
You know, let me do some digging. I'll have to do some digging.

999
01:24:17,370 --> 01:24:20,190
Okay, thanks. I know it's late in the game, but thanks.

1000
01:24:20,430 --> 01:24:20,610
I'll have to do some digging.

1001
01:24:20,790 --> 01:24:22,610
Thank you. And thanks again for the report.

1002
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:29,940
Mr. Williams online. Just unmute yourself.

1003
01:24:31,660 --> 01:24:32,420
Can you hear me?

1004
01:24:32,860 --> 01:24:33,260
Yes, we can.

1005
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:35,780
Thank you much. And thank you, Commissioner.

1006
01:24:35,780 --> 01:24:40,760
I wish I could have went right after Plaza East as a head of the Development Advisory

1007
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:45,820
Committee and a resident, but you guys kept going with the housing reports, so I hope

1008
01:24:45,820 --> 01:24:46,960
I get a little bit more time.

1009
01:24:47,980 --> 01:24:54,120
The Housing Authority just stated a lot of funding that has not only come to Plaza

1010
01:24:54,120 --> 01:25:01,020
East but BIPOC communities, housing vouchers, home ownership, and my question is where?

1011
01:25:01,020 --> 01:25:09,200
Currently, we've been complaining to Novoi to no response from Housing Authority, Ms.

1012
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:15,400
Kendra, Ms. Tanya, and others of why are no black people being able to move into BIPOC

1013
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,100
communities in Plaza East or on a never-ending waiting list?

1014
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:24,140
Unfortunately, we see an influx of illegal immigrants and Chinese flooding in our communities,

1015
01:25:24,140 --> 01:25:31,100
especially Plaza E's with John Stewart not allowing or having no knowledge of how

1016
01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:37,420
to get long-standing black residents in D5 and also D10 we're in complaints over

1017
01:25:37,420 --> 01:25:41,500
there of the same thing we're not our black residents and long-standing

1018
01:25:41,500 --> 01:25:46,280
residents are not being allowed so Latino to move into our buildings and

1019
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:52,080
they lay vacant especially at Plaza E's as we have numerous vacancies and I do

1020
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,580
we'll touch on the capital improvement process,

1021
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,180
but I was really a question of what's going on

1022
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:00,760
and we're getting no reply and response from that.

1023
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:03,960
Also at Plaza East, Ms. Tanya stated that

1024
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,480
several units will still be set aside

1025
01:26:06,480 --> 01:26:10,880
for the security detail for John Stewart

1026
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,840
to have storage and different things,

1027
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:14,220
but they should have their own storage

1028
01:26:14,220 --> 01:26:18,240
and should not be using potential three-bear room,

1029
01:26:18,340 --> 01:26:20,160
four-bear room units that could be going to

1030
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:25,340
black households and families that are crying out to, you know, to live in their

1031
01:26:25,340 --> 01:26:31,540
own communities, their long-standing communities. It applies to EDE. FRH

1032
01:26:31,540 --> 01:26:37,820
truly gives no PG&E assistance. How do I know? I just needed PG&E assistance and

1033
01:26:37,820 --> 01:26:42,600
several others and we were told that they have no funding, right? I don't

1034
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:48,380
understand how every, you know, services come up to your guys' commission and can

1035
01:26:48,380 --> 01:26:55,020
give inflated numbers, we have no knowledge as our resident council stated. Also our resident

1036
01:26:55,020 --> 01:27:02,440
council, Mr. Calvin, stated just before that he has roaches and wrote in a state and currently

1037
01:27:02,440 --> 01:27:09,400
and the solution was he had to purchase, right? And it's not fair. John Stewart has also

1038
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:14,580
told Mr. Ron stated today for the commission that they've been slow to fully staff. And

1039
01:27:14,580 --> 01:27:16,340
And this is not a problem since they've been here.

1040
01:27:16,860 --> 01:27:20,360
Same thing we stated with MBS, who's subsequently been removed.

1041
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:25,940
Their lease policy even says in its highlight that their appliances can be given to place

1042
01:27:25,940 --> 01:27:28,280
each resident in any condition.

1043
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:37,820
And we've been having for several years now an influx of old, shoddy, used appliances.

1044
01:27:38,260 --> 01:27:39,500
I was victim of such.

1045
01:27:39,900 --> 01:27:41,760
I had no washer because it stopped.

1046
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:42,800
It was already used.

1047
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:48,000
we protested because we were seeing bedbugs coming from these vacant units where these

1048
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:53,880
appliances are kept and roaches, and then they would inhabit your home. So these policies are bad

1049
01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:59,720
that John Stewart is pushing on our people. And we've been protesting this fact, but yet again,

1050
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:04,480
you guys are always in our Sadness Commission. You guys give them praises in our faces. And

1051
01:28:04,480 --> 01:28:08,640
there's so many people and even legal teams on this Zoom meeting that are listening to this

1052
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:09,800
and it's egregious.

1053
01:28:10,340 --> 01:28:15,920
And last but not least was the head of the DAC

1054
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,340
and been in every meeting and actually give points

1055
01:28:18,340 --> 01:28:20,860
that because we've been fighting so hard,

1056
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:26,100
HUD section three to be compliant with like resident.

1057
01:28:27,900 --> 01:28:30,100
Great, thank you so much for the conference.

1058
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,880
Thank you so much, Mr. Williams for the conference.

1059
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,060
Well, I ask for a little bit of time, Mr. Joaquin,

1060
01:28:35,060 --> 01:28:39,820
You know, certainly we'll be happy to discuss those items when we come and sit down and have

1061
01:28:39,820 --> 01:28:43,800
a conversation with the council and with the development advisory committee and others.

1062
01:28:44,540 --> 01:28:46,160
I just need 15 more seconds, sir.

1063
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:47,480
That was very rude.

1064
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:48,320
But thank you very much.

1065
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:49,620
I would love to see you again.

1066
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:50,320
Great.

1067
01:28:50,580 --> 01:28:50,820
Great.

1068
01:28:50,960 --> 01:28:51,140
Thank you.

1069
01:28:52,780 --> 01:28:56,220
Well, Ms. Tiny, can you bring those receipts for the last capital improvements

1070
01:28:56,220 --> 01:29:00,260
that we've been so painstakingly wanting to know where the last money went, $7 million

1071
01:29:00,780 --> 01:29:03,420
plus, that we have not gotten accounted for?

1072
01:29:03,940 --> 01:29:05,500
The corruption in the city is...

1073
01:29:05,500 --> 01:29:07,700
Mr. Williams, thank you so much.

1074
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:12,200
I know that CEO Letergy would be happy to bring those items again,

1075
01:29:12,580 --> 01:29:14,660
as we had discussed at the last...

1076
01:29:14,660 --> 01:29:15,480
I never brought them.

1077
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:19,600
I would be happy to make sure that she brings those again,

1078
01:29:19,860 --> 01:29:22,580
as she did in the last meeting we had with the DAC.

1079
01:29:22,900 --> 01:29:25,160
I just want to thank you again so much for the work

1080
01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:26,860
and making the time to be present with us today.

1081
01:29:27,820 --> 01:29:29,380
All right, thank you so, so much.

1082
01:29:34,990 --> 01:29:37,050
We had one additional public comment online.

1083
01:29:38,870 --> 01:29:39,790
Please unmute yourself.

1084
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:43,200
Hi.

1085
01:29:43,460 --> 01:29:43,900
Can you hear me?

1086
01:29:44,300 --> 01:29:44,700
Yes, we can.

1087
01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:45,680
Hi.

1088
01:29:45,860 --> 01:29:47,320
My name is Yolanda Moshow.

1089
01:29:47,620 --> 01:29:49,180
I'm a resident of Plaza East.

1090
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:51,380
I've been a resident for more than 15 years.

1091
01:29:52,180 --> 01:29:54,960
I would just like to agree with what Dennis Williams is saying.

1092
01:29:55,740 --> 01:29:59,760
It has been a hostage takeover from the black community to illegal immigrants.

1093
01:30:01,100 --> 01:30:07,340
I just feel like we're doing better leadership down here. Martha Hollins has been our president

1094
01:30:07,340 --> 01:30:15,940
for over 19 years. I think it's time for a re-election in Plaza Ease. We need stronger, younger leadership

1095
01:30:16,440 --> 01:30:18,340
and that's what I have to say.

1096
01:30:20,910 --> 01:30:24,070
We need to have a re-election in Plaza Ease.

1097
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,180
Thank you. Any additional public comment on item number 7?

1098
01:30:37,270 --> 01:30:38,290
Item number 8 is the committee

1099
01:30:38,290 --> 01:30:45,570
We did not have a committee meeting for November or we will not have one for December. So we continue this report until January of 2025.

1100
01:30:46,290 --> 01:30:48,570
That being said, any public comment that

1101
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:58,840
we can go to item number nine. This is the consent agenda. We have one consent item for the meeting minutes of last month's meeting on October 24th.

1102
01:30:59,480 --> 01:31:02,080
Any comments from commissioners regarding the meeting minutes?

1103
01:31:04,130 --> 01:31:07,090
Then we can open for public comment on item number nine.

1104
01:31:12,780 --> 01:31:17,960
Just a quick moment. I wanted to ask for some clarification about some of the public comments

1105
01:31:18,610 --> 01:31:26,220
that we just heard from General Counsel Macy. Is there any observation that you wanted to

1106
01:31:26,220 --> 01:31:34,080
make with regards to issues of tenancy and immigration status, please?

1107
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:40,960
Yes, I just wanted to say that the Housing Authority is regulated by the U.S. Department

1108
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:45,740
of Housing and Urban Development, which are federal regulations, and in order to be in

1109
01:31:45,740 --> 01:31:51,080
the program, you do need to have a documented citizen of the United States to just be eligible

1110
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:51,900
to be in the program.

1111
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:55,340
So I just want to be cautious with the narrative that we just heard in the public

1112
01:31:55,340 --> 01:31:55,680
comment.

1113
01:31:56,140 --> 01:32:02,800
I also wanted to share that Mr. Williams was provided direction on how to apply for

1114
01:32:02,800 --> 01:32:09,900
the request for proposals that is currently open on November 1st, 2024 via email from our procurement staff.

1115
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:16,080
Is it documented status or citizenship?

1116
01:32:17,540 --> 01:32:22,840
You have to be eligible and I can go into it but I just want to say that it is very complicated.

1117
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:30,480
There's seven different categories that are within the plan and I'd be happy to bring that back to you because we will go down a much longer conversation, I will say.

1118
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:37,480
And if I may, through the chair, if we could have our general counsel speak to the very

1119
01:32:37,480 --> 01:32:46,460
facts, it dovetails right into the allegations of illegal immigrants on property, but how

1120
01:32:46,460 --> 01:32:48,580
we fill our units as well.

1121
01:32:51,700 --> 01:32:53,700
So these are public housing units.

1122
01:32:54,020 --> 01:32:57,700
We are required to fill those public housing units through the public housing wait list.

1123
01:32:58,100 --> 01:33:01,760
And we have a wait list of individuals that have been waiting for many, many years

1124
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:07,780
to fill these units as everybody knows the Housing Authority has converted over 45 properties

1125
01:33:07,780 --> 01:33:12,280
to the Section 8 department. So the only public housing units we have left are located at Plaza

1126
01:33:12,280 --> 01:33:16,480
and North Beach. So that means that everybody that's been waiting on that list is waiting

1127
01:33:16,480 --> 01:33:23,740
for one of those two units or two buildings. So as we have this RFP out to improve the

1128
01:33:23,740 --> 01:33:27,980
vacant units and make them habitable, individuals from that public housing wait list will

1129
01:33:27,980 --> 01:33:31,700
be offered the opportunity to fill those units. Thank you.

1130
01:33:32,340 --> 01:33:38,580
Great. Thank you. All right. Do we have a – thank you so much, Bennett. Do we have

1131
01:33:38,580 --> 01:33:41,160
a motion for – to approve the minutes as listed?

1132
01:33:41,780 --> 01:33:43,080
A motion to approve.

1133
01:33:43,500 --> 01:33:44,800
Great. Do we have a second?

1134
01:33:45,180 --> 01:33:45,640
I second.

1135
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:51,380
All right. A first from Commissioner Pikes and a second from Commissioner Lindo. Vice

1136
01:33:51,380 --> 01:33:54,820
Chair Lindo. All those in favor signify by saying aye.

1137
01:33:55,340 --> 01:33:55,640
Aye.

1138
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:56,340
Nays?

1139
01:33:56,340 --> 01:33:58,000
Hearing none, motion is approved.

1140
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:00,440
And then with regards to our,

1141
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:03,000
when we took public comment, correct?

1142
01:34:03,440 --> 01:34:03,740
Yes.

1143
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:04,400
Great, thank you.

1144
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:07,380
With regards to regular business action items,

1145
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:10,560
I know that we want to be able to remove item B

1146
01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:13,180
and hear that at a future commission date.

1147
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,720
So currently, we will only be hearing

1148
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:19,720
for regular business action items item number A, 10A,

1149
01:34:19,820 --> 01:34:21,840
and item number 10C.

1150
01:34:22,100 --> 01:34:24,940
If we could go ahead and move forward with item A, please.

1151
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:30,300
That is the resolution approving and authorizing the Chief Executive Officer of the Housing

1152
01:34:30,300 --> 01:34:34,320
Authority of the City and County of San Francisco to adopt the authority's publicly available

1153
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:39,960
pay schedule effective December 1, 2024 pursuant to the Public Employees Retirement Law, Public

1154
01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:44,660
Employees Pension Reform Act of 2013 and Title II of the California Code of Regulations.

1155
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,640
And this will be presented by a general counsel, Linda Mason.

1156
01:34:49,260 --> 01:34:56,920
This resolution is a routine item as required by the circular letter 200-003-20 issued on

1157
01:34:56,920 --> 01:35:01,980
January 8, 2020 and as Bennett just mentioned also the Public Employees Retirement Law,

1158
01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:06,060
Public Employees Pension Reform Act and Title II of the California Code of Regulations.

1159
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:12,260
The requirements state that within the staff report the regulations have been met.

1160
01:35:12,680 --> 01:35:15,920
You are not approving any changes to salary, I just want to make that really clear.

1161
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:22,260
you're approving the adoption of this pay scale for the 2025 year effective December 1st 2024

1162
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:27,040
and it just means that we'll be able to go ahead and post this and upload it to the CalPERS website

1163
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:32,320
with that said we hope that this would be approved and honestly if it had gone to committee if we

1164
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:36,200
had a committee meeting this meeting it probably would have been recommended for consent so thank

1165
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:40,600
you commissioners and if you have any questions feel free to ask thank you if

1166
01:35:44,340 --> 01:35:44,580
there's no

1167
01:35:44,580 --> 01:35:48,920
commissioner comment we can open for public comment on item number 10a any public comments

1168
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:55,220
specifically for item number 10a. I just have to public comment about the work I'm

1169
01:35:55,220 --> 01:36:00,200
doing with the Homeless Oversight Commission and the other office is

1170
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:04,920
streamlining the vacancies and making it the fair house and we're aware of the

1171
01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:09,880
fair housing requirements so we're also making it easier how to streamline this.

1172
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:10,660
Thank you.

1173
01:36:13,510 --> 01:36:15,490
Any other public comment for item number 10a?

1174
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,380
Mr. Williams just want

1175
01:36:24,380 --> 01:36:26,320
reiterate this is specifically for item 10A.

1176
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:33,580
No problem, you sound a little

1177
01:36:33,580 --> 01:36:38,340
perturbed. Thank you. I'm just looking for any opportunities. I'm a real estate

1178
01:36:38,340 --> 01:36:44,340
micro real estate developer and usually in the RFPs the pre qualifications make

1179
01:36:44,340 --> 01:36:50,140
it almost impossible for us to get a foot into already closed door. So please

1180
01:36:50,140 --> 01:36:54,780
be mindful of the wording. We should have carved out sections and join venture

1181
01:36:54,780 --> 01:37:02,080
opportunity. The same is with our RP capital improvements. Project manager was supposed

1182
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:06,640
to be one of the things but for some reason the housing authority continues to give it to themselves.

1183
01:37:07,480 --> 01:37:11,920
For Williams this item your public comment is do you have anything to say about the

1184
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:16,280
CalPERS letter that the commission is being asked to approve?

1185
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:23,140
Oh yes as long as they're giving opportunities yes to all in the city.

1186
01:37:24,060 --> 01:37:28,180
Yes, and I approve. I mean, I hope you guys approve it.

1187
01:37:28,580 --> 01:37:32,880
Thank you. Like I said, the authority uses their own, like Mr. Moreno de Latour.

1188
01:37:33,260 --> 01:37:40,340
So I can't get on the RFPs. The position was already taken, which is kind of mysterious and crazy, but thank you.

1189
01:37:41,440 --> 01:37:44,280
Great. Thank you so much. Any additional public comment on this item?

1190
01:37:47,020 --> 01:37:49,720
Not seeing any. We can open for a motion to approve.

1191
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:50,620
Do we have a motion?

1192
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:51,760
Motion to approve.

1193
01:37:52,020 --> 01:37:52,520
And a second.

1194
01:37:54,020 --> 01:37:54,760
I'll second.

1195
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:55,520
All right.

1196
01:37:55,600 --> 01:37:57,300
We have a first from Commissioner Pies in a second.

1197
01:37:57,440 --> 01:37:58,940
And once again from Commissioner Lindo,

1198
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:00,780
all those in favor signify by saying aye.

1199
01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:01,480
Aye.

1200
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:02,600
Ayes.

1201
01:38:02,900 --> 01:38:04,260
Hearing none, motion is approved.

1202
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:07,300
Item C, please.

1203
01:38:07,700 --> 01:38:07,800
Yep.

1204
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:10,580
Item 10C, that is the resolution of approving and authorizing

1205
01:38:10,580 --> 01:38:13,260
the chief executive officer to amend the agreement to enter

1206
01:38:13,260 --> 01:38:16,340
into a project-based voucher housing assistant payment contract

1207
01:38:16,340 --> 01:38:18,420
with the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation

1208
01:38:18,420 --> 01:38:20,980
to increase the number of project-based vouchers from 12.

1209
01:38:20,980 --> 01:38:25,400
project-based vouchers to 20 project-based vouchers units at 4200

1210
01:38:25,400 --> 01:38:29,420
Geary for a total not to exceed 20 project-based vouchers and this will be

1211
01:38:29,420 --> 01:38:33,460
presented by our housing operations director Kendra Crawford. Good morning

1212
01:38:33,460 --> 01:38:42,060
commissioners. The housing authority of the City and County of San

1213
01:38:42,060 --> 01:38:50,380
Francisco received a non-competitive request to project-based 12 units at a

1214
01:38:50,380 --> 01:38:57,900
The PVV vouchers were awarded in March 2022, and AHAB was executed in 2023.

1215
01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:06,060
We have recently received a request to add an additional eight PVVs to the project, which

1216
01:39:06,060 --> 01:39:11,920
would total 20 units for senior, formerly homeless veterans.

1217
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:17,960
Thank you so much, Kendra.

1218
01:39:18,100 --> 01:39:18,720
I'm sorry.

1219
01:39:18,860 --> 01:39:22,260
It was requested from TNDC, the mayor's office, and HUD VASH.

1220
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:23,700
Great.

1221
01:39:23,700 --> 01:39:27,040
Thank you so much. Just in relationship to the report that we heard earlier from finance

1222
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:32,980
and the impact on voucher distribution, these items are currently budgeted outside of that

1223
01:39:32,980 --> 01:39:33,780
issue, correct?

1224
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:34,520
That is correct.

1225
01:39:34,700 --> 01:39:41,340
Great. And then, secondarily, just to spend some time, when we start hearing these

1226
01:39:41,340 --> 01:39:45,360
items around voucher management and voucher distribution, I think it might be useful

1227
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:51,300
for us as a commission to start hearing around the timelines associated with the

1228
01:39:51,300 --> 01:39:56,620
allocation of those vouchers, separate from the AHAP itself and the actual HAP, the actual

1229
01:39:56,620 --> 01:40:01,600
rate at which the vouchers are applied to the project, the processes they're in, just to

1230
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:06,280
start going through the metrics of operational improvements that we may want to make so we

1231
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:10,860
can hold ourselves accountable to timelines, process, and so forth.

1232
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,660
But nothing further right now with regards to the item as is for me.

1233
01:40:15,940 --> 01:40:18,940
I don't know if any other commissioners have comments or questions with regards

1234
01:40:18,940 --> 01:40:19,420
to this.

1235
01:40:19,420 --> 01:40:25,660
It's just once again supporting veteran homeless housing priorities that the city has, bringing

1236
01:40:25,660 --> 01:40:29,820
people who are off of the streets into permanent supportive housing with associated subsidies.

1237
01:40:30,300 --> 01:40:34,020
It's another great effort that our city is making to ensure that we're taking people

1238
01:40:34,020 --> 01:40:39,520
off the streets and providing the subsidies to do so because the city and the housing

1239
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:43,440
authority are making use of the incredible resource that it can and is being brought

1240
01:40:43,440 --> 01:40:45,520
to bear to support this initiative.

1241
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:52,200
Thank you. And to answer some of your questions, so construction on the site started in spring 2023.

1242
01:40:52,960 --> 01:41:00,280
And the move-ins will start, we will execute a HAP contract, and the move-ins will start beginning in the early 2025.

1243
01:41:00,940 --> 01:41:02,540
Great. Thank you so much.

1244
01:41:02,660 --> 01:41:02,900
Thank you.

1245
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:04,580
All right. Fantastic.

1246
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:11,720
Thank you, Kendra. If there's no additional commissioner's comment, we can open for public comment, item 10C specifically.

1247
01:41:15,630 --> 01:41:18,910
I'm not seeing any. We can close public comment and ask for a motion for approval

1248
01:41:20,370 --> 01:41:25,940
And a second we do a roll call vote commissioner nara pikes

1249
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:27,620
Commissioner Kim

1250
01:41:28,260 --> 01:41:31,980
I and president Torres I

1251
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:38,460
Point of order Bennett do we need to go back and do any roll call votes in the previous items that were approved?

1252
01:41:40,540 --> 01:41:46,940
I would defer to general counsel if we have a specific ruling as far as roll call vote versus unanimous eyes as far as

1253
01:41:47,440 --> 01:41:51,020
approving action items? Is there? No, I think we're okay. It's when you have one

1254
01:41:51,020 --> 01:41:54,920
member that's out and you can't do that because there's only four of you for

1255
01:41:54,920 --> 01:41:59,220
quorum, but if one was remote, let's say we had five, then you'd have to do

1256
01:41:59,220 --> 01:42:03,160
a roll call. Got it. But all of us are in the house today. All right, great. Thank

1257
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:09,240
you. Uh-huh. Before we move to item 12 for closed session, I want to address

1258
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:11,980
item number 11 for any additional commissioner's comment or report.

1259
01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:19,080
Any

1260
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:23,640
You may reserve the right to make additional commissioners comment and report after we return

1261
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:24,340
from closed session.

1262
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,220
If we may move to closed session.

1263
01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:27,440
Yes.

1264
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:33,900
This closed session is for public employee performance evaluation, government code 54957, chief executive

1265
01:42:33,900 --> 01:42:34,380
officer.

1266
01:42:35,460 --> 01:42:36,640
Just some logistics here.

1267
01:42:36,740 --> 01:42:41,240
For those in the room, we'll ask those that are not applicable to this item to

1268
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:43,820
remove from the room.

1269
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,640
And then those online, we will be ending the Zoom webinar.

1270
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:50,540
However, if you rejoin the same meeting link, you will be placed in a waiting room

1271
01:42:50,540 --> 01:42:53,620
for the resumption of the commission meeting after closed session ends.

1272
01:43:00,490 --> 01:43:02,690
With that being said, we will be going into closed session.

1273
01:43:02,810 --> 01:43:03,170
Thank you.

1274
02:14:37,940 --> 02:14:38,400
Let's go.

1275
02:15:19,120 --> 02:15:24,120
State of GOV.TV. San Francisco government television.

1276
02:30:43,790 --> 02:30:45,370
Francisco government television.

1277
02:47:57,710 --> 02:47:59,830
It's out there. But I would show up.

1278
02:48:04,310 --> 02:48:08,270
And that was in regards to the city attorney memo that we were briefed on today.

1279
02:48:08,470 --> 02:48:08,650
Yeah.

1280
02:48:09,770 --> 02:48:16,690
All right. All right. Thank you so much for your patience. We have just returned from closed session with nothing to report on.

1281
02:48:16,770 --> 02:48:23,430
But I want to thank everyone and wishing everyone a very happy, happy Thanksgiving and holiday season.

1282
02:48:23,930 --> 02:48:27,430
Stay safe out there. Stay dry. And we will see you in December.

1283
02:48:28,070 --> 02:48:29,790
Time is 12.03 p.m., thank you.
