So
what
we
you
know,
we
couldn't
have
a
school
in
this
neighborhood
either,
but
we're
living
here,
and
we
need
to
make
changes
in
our
neighborhoods
so
that
we
could
have
housing
in
this
most
wonderful
place
to
live
where
we
are
resource
rich
and
we
are
by
transit
and
that's
what
the
state
has
required
is
trying
to
require
and
everybody's
fighting
it.
The
state
has
said
you
need
to
build
by
transit
and
the
city
is
saying:
no.
We
want
to
hold
on
to
our
commercial
land,
so
we
can
make
more
money,
and
these
are.
E
These
are
really
moral
and
ethical
issues
as
we
are
facing
our
housing
crisis
and
don't
forget
it's
a
crisis
and
that's
why
we
have
to
throw
everything
at
it
and
that's
all
we
should
be
thinking
about.
Is
our
housing
crisis,
not
jobs.
The
jobs
are
first
of
all
they're.
They
are
state,
like
the
woman
who
said
another
neighbor
said
that
we
are
working
from
our
home
and
we
have
to
start
living
like
plants,
like
already
middlebrook,
says
like
plants
where
all
our
needs
are
met
in
the
same
location.
F
F
F
We
believe
this
is
critical,
and
while
we
understand
that
measure
e
as
a
proof
by
the
voters
was
a
general
sales
tax
and
entirely
flexible
for
the
needs
for
the
needs
of
the
city
and
the
community,
we
also
feel
like
the
spending
plan
and
the
goals
that
it
set
in
december.
2019
that
was
fully
supported
by
this
council,
are
critical
to
continue
to
support
now
in
the
future.
F
It
was
the
spending
plan
that
we
used
as
a
community
to
rally
support,
bring
in
donors
and
help
get
it
over
the
goal
line,
and
we
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
work
with
the
city
in
the
years
ahead.
We're
grateful
for
your
support
we
need
to.
We
need
to
strongly
support
the
plan
that
is
outlined
here
today
and
support
housing
in
going
forward
with
these
critical
initiatives
for
our
most
vulnerable
residents.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
This
is
jewel
buchanan.
I
live
in
zip
code
95116,
I'm
a
member
of
aruva,
which
is
the
alum
rock
urban.
Excuse
me
urban
corridor
organization,
and
what
I'd
like
to
say
is
has
to
do
with
affordable
housing
development
within
95116
and
essentially
with
what's
going
on,
we
need
to
just
connect
the
dots
city
of
san
jose
has
a
very,
very
low
commercial
linkage
fee
with
that
developers
are
swarming
into
district
five
with
little
or
no
consideration
for
affordable
housing.
G
Carlin
swenson,
who
is
a
develop
long-time
developer
in
the
city
of
san
jose,
is
leveraging
building
the
types
of
buildings
and
condos
that
they
want
along
alum
rock
corridor.
Affordable
housing
is
very
much
needed
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
It
should
be
spread
throughout
the
city
of
san
jose,
not
just
in
95
116..
G
That
to
me
looks
like
a
modern
form
of
redlining
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
It's
interesting
that
the
city
of
san
jose
has
been
part
of
this
policy
that
began
in
the
1930s.
We
need
to
stop
that.
We
need
to
make
affordable
housing
available
throughout
every
district
in
san
jose.
Not
just
district
5..
Thank
you
all
very
much.
Take
that
into
consideration
sleep
on
it
and
understand
the
effects
of
what
of
what
happens
when
we
don't
put
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city
of
san
jose.
H
I
think
it
was
monday
a
few
weeks
ago
they
really
nicely
described
what
they
want
to
set
out
for,
with
with
housing
goals
and
plans,
affordable
housing
goals
and
plans
for
the
next
year.
I
don't
know
if
that
item
will
still
be
coming
up,
but
I
thought
I'd
mention
it
now
that
I
was
hoping
they
could.
You
know
develop
that
that
that
that
presentation
from
that
meeting
it
was
really
good.
It
really
described
what
we
can
begin
to
expect
next
year.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
hope
to
hear
more
of
that.
H
Coming
up.
You
know
my
feelings,
hopefully
by
now
about
mixed
income
ideas-
and
you
know,
casa,
you
know
the
housing
advocacy
agency.
They
were
doing
some
really
good
work
over
the
past
years
and
in
fact,
in
the
in
the
one
of
the
october
26
ced
memos,
you
have
the
casa
report
from
2019
that
I
recommend
you
look
through
people
look
through
and
you
know,
casa
is
really
they're.
They've
been
on
top
of
these
things.
H
H
So
you
know
at
the
local
level,
people
are
really
raring
to
go,
really
listen
to
the
community
when,
when
you
hear
community
voices
that
that
always
that
can
help
a
lot
at
this
time-
and
I
I
just
think
we're
ready
to
address
really
important
new
ideas
and
and
how
do
we,
you
know
garden
that
and
garner
it
and
and
build
it
and
make
it
happen.
That's
what
I'm
into
right
now.
Thank
you.
B
Yes,
thank
you,
matthew,
reed
from
silicon
valley
at
home.
I
want
to
speak
directly
to
the
the
measure
e
item
and
really
I
know
I
do
this
periodically,
but
really
express
my
my
gratitude
for
the
leadership
that
this
council
and
and
some
of
you
in
particular,
and
the
mayor
and
others
invested
in
in
this
effort
and
it
it
is
heartening
to
to
see
this
coming
to
fruition
and
recognize
the
tremendous
value
that
it's
going
to
add
to
the
city's
ability
to
produce
this
much
needed
housing.
So
thank
you.
B
B
You
know,
but
I
I
just
like
to
reiterate
that
there
was
some
cynicism
in
the
process
that
this
money
may
morph
and
change
and
shift
in
direction
over
time,
and
I
think
it's
this
your
body's
responsibility
to
have
careful
stewardship
over
these
resources
and
that's
going
to
be
critical
towards
its
sustainability.
So
we
support
the
staffs
approach
and
recommendations
and
and
appreciate
your
time
today.
Thank
you.
I
Survivors,
as
I
mentioned,
I
work
with
the
domestic
violence
advocacy
consortium
and
in
any
given
year,
the
four
organizations
that
provide
emergency
shelter
to
domestic
violence
survivors
serve
about
750
women
and
children
and
provide
approximately
22
000
bed
nights
per
year.
The
piece
that's
really
heartbreaking
is
that,
unfortunately,
of
all
those
individuals
served
in
any
given
year,
only
26
percent
are
able
to
obtain
permanent
or
transitional
housing.
I
had
the
privilege
also
of
serving
on
the
santa
clara
county,
c-dot
task
force
and
there's
a
housing
report.
I
F
Jeffrey
sorry,
sorry
about
that
little
technical,
typically
good
evening,
mayor
and
council-
I
would
get
the
work
in
partnerships
would
like
to
encourage
you.
When
it
comes
to
item
8.5
echo
the
comments
from
from
matthew
and
from
ray.
You
know,
there's
a
lot
of
thoughtfulness
and
and
collaboration
that
went
into
crafting
the
allocation
plan
for
measure
e,
and
I
think
that
was
part
of
the
excitement
that
led
to
such
a
wide
coalition
of
supporters.
F
For
that
measure
would
really
encourage
the
council
to
support
the
staff
recommendations
and
particularly
in
light
of
what
will
be,
I
think
we
all
can
agree
in
even
greater
need
then
we'll
be
able
to
finance
when
it
comes
to
homeless
prevention,
particularly
next
year
as
ab
3088,
the
statewide
eviction
protections
run
out
and
many
tenants
in
san
jose
will
be
faced
with
having
to
repay
a
portion
of
their
back
rent.
And
so
you
know
having
every
available
resource.
F
Is
going
to
be
really
critical,
particularly
given
the
uncertainty
of
any
kind
of
large-scale
rent
relief
emerging
from
washington?
I
hope
that
things
do
emerge
on
that
front,
but
I
I
don't
think
we
can
necessarily
depend
on
washington
saving
us
in
this
moment,
so
we
just
really
encourage
you
to
support
the
staff
recommendation
and
also
to
support
the
the
recommendation
from
customer
member
arenas.
I
think
it.
F
J
Yeah
I'd
like
to
know,
I
mean
how
many
sales
tax
increases
are
we
going
to
have
before
it
gets
to
10
or
over,
to
be
able
to
fund
all
these
programs
for
poor
people?
And
now
I
guess,
middle-income
people.
You
know
once
you
get
to
over
10
of
a
tax
on
something
is
usury
and
there
was
a
caller
a
couple
hours
ago,
who
called
me
a
racist.
J
I
can't
believe
you
guys
let
that
happen,
because
you're
not
supposed
to
do
that.
According
to
your
rules
and
you're,
not
supposed
to
name
call
people
who've
called
in
you.
Let
that
happen,
and
how
does
she
know?
I'm
not
a
latino,
I'm
sure
she's,
a
white
liberal,
with
a
with
a
big
hook,
nose
and
tiny
glasses
with
a
bad
haircut
with
her
phony
npr
voice.
H
E
G
I
also
agree
with,
I
believe,
is
joel
buchanan,
who
said
that
affordable
housing
needs
to
be
distributed
equally
throughout
the
city,
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
that
is
that
families
with
children
need
to
be
able
to
attend
good
school
districts
instead
of
having
all
the
lower
income
children
segregated
into
neighborhoods-
that
don't
have
enough
resources
for
good
schools
right.
Ideally,
all
the
schools
would
be
equally
good,
but
realistically
that
won't
be
happening
soon
and
also.
G
I
hope
that
all
that
future
permanent
supportive
housing
development
will
not
all
be
crammed
into
district
3,
because
that's
also
segregating
saying
that
they
have
to
live
where
the
greatest
homeless
populations
were.
It
also
that
actually
makes
it
more
difficult
for
people
in
permanent
support
of
housing
to
turn
their
lives
around,
because
you
know
they're
constantly
being
exposed
to
you
know
the
old
life
and
but
overall,
I'm
very
glad
to
see
that
san
jose
is
looking.
G
You
know,
overall,
with
an
equity
they're
starting
to
look
at
things
with
an
equity
lens.
They
have
the
anti-displacement
policy
and
I
hope
that
we
can,
you
know,
have
good
projects
and
I'm
very
happy
to
see.
Catalyze
sv,
which
I
am
a
member,
pushing
the
developers
to
make
projects
better
than
the
minimum
and
good
for
the
community,
and
thanks
very
much
to.
A
B
What
do
you
call
that
shelter
space
for
men?
Believe
me
there's
a
unfortunately
there's
a
very
large
need.
It
happens,
maybe
not
not
as
much
as
women
being
victims
of
violence,
domestic
violence,
but
it
happens
quite
regularly
and
most
of
the
time
we
never
hear
about
that,
and
I
just
want
to
call
your
attention
to
that
fact,
and
certainly
whether
it's
we
call
it
supportive
for
shelter
housing
for
victims,
master
violence,
whether
that
be
men
or
women,
there's
certainly
certainly
not
enough
of
those.
B
A
Thank
you
jaime
all
right,
we'll
return
to
the
council
now
thank
staff
for
all
their
hard
work
and
preparation
for
today
is,
more
importantly,
all
the
work
they've
been
doing
for
quite
some
time.
Obviously,
it's
taken
us
a
long
time
just
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
can
say
we're,
we're
we're
actually
assembling
funding
sources
that
can
can
put
us
on
the
path.
We
obviously
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
and
it's
still
very
much
uphill,
but
I'm
very
appreciative
of
all
the
work.
A
That's
that's
gone
into
this.
You
know
in
recent,
in
just
the
last
year,
between
measure
e
and
the
impact
fee,
commercial
impact
work,
that's
been
done
on
inclusionary
and
so
forth.
That's
opening
more
doors
for
more
of
our
families.
I
I
know
there
are
two
memoranda
that
were
submitted
today.
I
appreciate
councilman
memorandum,
which
I
think
provides
staff
sufficient
flexibility
at
the
same
time
that
encourages
them
to
be
dedicating
resources
to
survivors,
domestic
violence
and
and
sexual
assault,
and
certainly
support
that.
I
I
also
submitted
a
memorandum.
A
So
the
memorandum
I
submitted
has
just
a
few
key
parts.
One
is
a
request
to
agendize
a
memo
that
was
drafted
by
several
of
us,
and
it
was
originally
on
the
march
17
council
agenda,
which
of
course,
we
vacated
because
the
pandemic
hit
and
we
stopped
work
on
a
lot
of
things
and
we
like
to
get
that
reagendized.
A
The
second
item
relates
to
the
bridge
housing
on
mayberry
road.
It's
apparent
that
there
are
some
some
some
legal
obstacles
out
there
that
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
get
through
in
order
to
better
utilize.
The
work
that's
been
done
out
there
to
get
more
people
housed,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
really
clear
about
what
that
is,
so
we
can
push
together
on
it
and
hopefully
get
some
help
in
sacramento
as
well.
A
The
third
item,
I'll
come
back
to
the
third
and
fourth
items.
The
fifth
paragraph
just
has
to
do
with
partnership
that
we're
building
we've
had
recent
conversations
with
san
francisco
foundation,
they're
interested
in
funding
consultants.
That
could
help
us
with
financing,
and
I
just
would
like
to
be
able
to
have
the
housing
department
engage
with
them
so
that
we
can
together
figure
out
a
way
to
put
together
an
adu
program
that
can
really
serve
some
of
our
some
of
our
residents,
who
really
need
rent,
restricted
housing.
A
Actually,
so
many
of
our
residents
who
need
it,
there's
no
question
that
edu's
are
now
becoming
a
larger
and
larger
share
of
our
new
housing
production.
I
suppose
part
of
that
is
a
result
of
the
very
unfortunate
reality
the
pandemic
hurt.
We
really
lost
a
lot
of
momentum
in
terms
of
housing
production,
but,
as
of
we've,
also
got
an
enormous
amount
of
forward
momentum
in
getting
adu
production
going,
and
I
appreciate
all
staff's
hard
work
on
that,
particularly
in
pbce
as
well
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
permitting.
A
But
now
it's
more
than
the
third
of
our
units.
I
think
this
year,
our
adus,
and
so
we
now
have
to
recognize.
This
is
an
important
pillar
of
our
strategy
and
it's
something
we
probably
need
to
invest
some
time
into
helping
see
if
we
continue
to
expand
financing
opportunities
for
a
lot
of
homeowners
who
are
going
to
be
pretty
cash
strapped,
given
all
that
we're
going
through.
So
let
me
just
address,
I
think
what
will
be
the
more
controversial
concerns
which
relates
to
san
jose
bridge
program.
A
That's
referred
to
in
paragraph
three
and
four,
and
I
should
say
paragraph
four.
It
appears
we've
done
some
more
work
and
it
appears
that
the
funding
allocation
that
came
from
the
general
fund
is
is
in
place,
and
so
there's
no
question
that
that
half
a
million
dollars
at
least
based
on
a
june
memorandum
from
the
city
managers
team
ensures
that
that
program
will
continue.
But
let
me
first
just
describe
the
program
for
those
who
may
not
be
familiar.
A
All
of
the
residents
were
eli
or
homeless.
I
believe
all
were
homeless,
not
mistaken,
and
what
we
saw
in
just
that
first
year
or
so
was
about
a
third
of
the
participants.
The
homeless
participants
got
housed,
got
stably
housed,
18
of
them
also
found
other
work,
either
part-time
or
full-time,
which
is
obviously
the
goal
is
to
see
how
we
can
provide
a
path
to
greater
self-sufficiency
program.
Participants
reflect
the
reality
of
the
demographics
of
of
many
of
our
eli
residents.
A
This
is
not
a
comprehensive
solution,
it's
just
for
those
who
are
work-able
and
because
I
think
it's
critically
important
to
show
our
residents
that,
when
they
are
taxed
and
we're
using
those
dollars
to
spend
to
support
homeless
residents
that
those
are
residents
who
want
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
they're,
not
just
people
that
are
pointed
at
as
being
the
problem,
which
is
all
too
often
the
case.
As
we
hear
too
much.
A
Whenever
there's
a
conversation
about
encampments
and
trash
and
and
all
the
other
issues
that
people
bring
to
us
on
a
daily
basis
and
clearly
homeless,
residents
want
to
be
part
of
the
solution
should
be
given
that
path,
and
so
it
was
important
for
me
that
we
ensure
that
there
are
there's
a
flexibility
in
funding
sources
so
that
we
can
sustain
this
program.
If
we
need
to-
and
we
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
general
fund
over
the
next
year
too.
We
all
know
you
know.
A
In
the
case
of
what
we're
spending
now
about
ten
thousand
dollars
of
public
money-
a
person-
that's
that's
very
cost
effective,
and
so
I
would
hate
to
think
and
the
reason
why
the
paragraph
three
is
in
there
is
because
of
a
single
line
that
was
in
a
chart
in
the
staff
memorandum.
That
said
and
I'll
just
quote,
it
said
that
after
further
review
is
determined,
measure
e
is
not
an
eligible
source
for
this
program,
as
it
focuses
on
employment
rather
than
housing.
A
So
you
know
we
took
a
quick
dive
on
this
and
and
as
we
understood
it,
there's
no
legal
barrier
here
to
using
measure
e
funding
for
this
purpose.
The
question
is
really
a
policy
question
for
the
council
and
in
some
extent,
the
definitional
one
and
how
we
define
the
categories
that
we've
created,
and
certainly
those
categories
can
change
with
a
super
majority
vote
of
the
council
and
two
public
hearings.
A
But
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
a
program.
That's
entirely
consistent
with
the
public.
Will
I
know
this
is
I
can
tell
you
every
time
I've
talked
about
this
program
in
social
media
or
in
public.
This
is
one
that
is
very
warmly
received
by
the
public,
because
they
are
grateful
to
see
that
there's
a
program
that
also
delivers
a
real
benefit
to
the
public
and
really
puts
the
homeless
in
a
position
of
people
who
are
are
really
part
of
a
community.
A
I
think
the
council
should
have
that
option
available
to
it.
Obviously
it
will
be
subject
to
decision
that
we
make
in
future
years
for
future
budgets
in
public
hearings
as
it
should
be.
This
does
not
result
in
any
movement
of
any
money
out
of
the
measure
e
allocation
plan
for
this
year.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience
with
my
long-winded
explanation.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
explained.
L
K
K
Since
the
pandemic,
that's
city-wide,
it
does
not.
I
have
residents,
I
have
affordable.
I
have
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
developments
in
my
district,
where,
throughout
this
pandemic
we
have
my
office
has
been
approached
by
many
residents
who
say
their
rents
have
been
increased
by
their
landlords,
usually
corporate
out
of
town
landlords.
K
So
we
have
low-income
folks
in
our
city,
who
are,
you
know,
aren't
seeing
the
relief
that
other
parts
of
the
city
are,
and
I
wanted
to
also
remind
folks
that
of
residents
displaced
in
santa
clara
county,
only
9
were
able
to
stay
in
their
neighborhood
and
only
36
percent
were
able
to
remain
in
their
city,
and
so
that's
why
the
allocations
to
put
money
towards
building,
affordable
housing
and
I'd
like
to
thank
my
colleague,
councilmember
davis
back
a
year
ago.
You
know
again
before
these
challenges
became
even
greater.
K
We
work
together
to
increase
our
percentage
towards
those
that
need
it
most
and
where
our
stock
is
being
built,
the
least,
and
so
I
wanted
to
to
remind
folks
that
this
is
still
the
climate
in
which
we
are
trying
to
build
housing
in,
and
I
think,
while
we're
facing
a
lot
of
challenges,
sometimes
that
gets
lost
in
the
discussion
because
we're
being
hit
from
so
many
things
from
all
sides,
and
so
I
had
a
few
questions.
I'll
start
with,
I
don't
know
if
lee
wilcox
is
on
the
phone
lee.
M
K
So
I
had
a
question:
there
is
some
funding
for
homeless
prevention,
which
this
council
has
been
talking
about
for
many
many
months.
Actually,
since
the
mayor
led
the
moratorium,
when
the
orders
were
initially
released,
announced-
and
so
this
has
been-
you
know-
we've
been
talking
about
the
cliff
for
a
long
time
and
we
know
that
preventing
homelessness
is
really
important.
And
so
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
covid
funds,
the
the
federal
dollars
that
we've
gotten.
K
So
given
the
fact
that
we
do
have
a
new
president
yay
and
we're
able
to
kind
of
anticipate
a
different
administration
congress
is
still
who
knows,
but
a
new
administration
that
has
indicated
a
willingness
to
support
states
and
local
governments
in
responding
to
the
kovic
and
so
have
we
gotten.
I
know
it's
just
happened,
but
we
have
a
coveted
team
that
the
president-elect
stood
up.
F
F
Yeah,
so
we
have
asked
our
lobbyist
as
well
as
widow
brian
on
the
six
and
a
quarter
issue.
I
would
imagine
part
of
the
transition
team
would
be
a
team
focused
not
only
around
covid
19,
but
also
the
fema
issue
and
funding,
because
this
is
so
complicated.
So
in
all
likelihood,
we've
been
told
that
we'll
probably
get
the
answer
to
that
before
january.
20Th
would
be
really
helpful.
K
Thank
you
and
I
think,
that's
really
important,
because
I
think
at
some
point
we
will
need
to
add
to
the
homeless
prevention
funds
and
I'm
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
timeline
of
how
we
could
supplement
what
is
being
recommended
here,
because
I
do
think
it's
tremendous
need
so
that
that's
why
I
wanted
to
bring
that
up
and
then
I
had
some
questions
and
I'm
not
sure
not
sure
who
to
ask
this
to.
But
we
do
it
does
take
a
two-thirds
majority
of
the
council
to
amend
our
set.
K
K
C
C
Clearly,
measure
e
could
be
used
for
all
kinds
of
activities,
it's
not
limited
because
they
are
general
fund
dollars.
What
we
should
have
said
and
we
didn't
state
it
clearly
was
that
we
didn't
deter.
We
determined
that
the
san
jose
bridge
employment
was
an
employment
program
and
not
a
housing
program
and
therefore
didn't
fit
under
the
allocation
plan,
and
I
think,
given
that
this
was
a
new
process
that
came
under
the
budget
memo
from
the
mayor
and
even
though
it
was
under
measure
e.
C
We
didn't
interpret
that
specifically
as
something
that
had
to
be
funded
out
of
measure
e,
and
so
therefore,
the
budget
office
did
a
budget
memo
and
we
try
hope
which
again,
we
didn't
do
very
clearly
and
lessons
learned
through
this
process
that
we
had
found
general
funds
that
could
actually
fund
the
program
for
the
direction
of
the
city
council.
So
I
think
our
concern
had
been
that
the
administration
had
not
clearly
flagged
this
particular
program
early
on
and
again
new
process.
C
We
don't,
we
didn't
have
a
way
to
do
that.
Didn't
think
through
it
that
this
was
outside
of
the
allocation
plan,
because
it's
not
a
housing
program.
It
is
an
employment
program.
Only
a
third
of
the
people
received
housing
and
it's
not
clear.
They
received
the
housing
because
it
was
even
a
consistent
part
of
the
overall
program.
K
K
A
But
the
idea
is
that,
when
this
comes
back
to
us
in
february
march,
in
the
in
the
budget
process
that
that
time,
saf
would
take
a
closer
look
and
hopefully,
by
that
time,
we'll
have
more
data
about
the
effectiveness
of
the
program.
I
mean
jackie's
right
about
a
third
of
the
residents
got
permanently
housed,
but
for
the
dollar
that
may
actually
be
more
cost
effective
than
some
of
the
other
solutions
we're
putting
out
there
in
terms
of
the
the
likelihood
of
somebody
getting
housed
for
every
dollar
we're
spending.
A
K
So,
and
and
jackie
so
in
what
comes
back
to
us
in
february
march,
when
we
do
have
that
level
of
detail,
will
we
know
if
folks
are
getting
housed
through
permanent
supportive
housing
if
they're
getting
housed
through
section
8
voucher?
Well,
we
have
that
level
of
detail
so
that
we
can
make
that
connection
with
their
participation
in
a
unemployment
program
into
how
they
were
housed
and
the
kind
of
runway
they
have
or
might
need
to
stay
permanently
housed.
Will
that
level
be
detailed,
be
included
so.
C
The
housing
department
doesn't
oversee
this
contract,
so
we
would
have
to
go
in
and
ensure
that
you
know
again.
The
the
everything
we
do
is
all
contained
within
a
system
when
we're
trying
to
address
homelessness.
So
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
who
is
served
shows
up
in
hmis,
so
we
can
actually
track
the
progress
and
it
is
more
than
just
getting
housed.
C
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
in
our
housing
programs
is
track
to
see
of
the
number
of
people
housed
how
many
people
actually
remained
in
their
housing,
and
so
that
would
be
another
question
that
we
would
ask,
because
that's
a
benchmark
for
all
of
our
programs,
including
our
shelter
programs,
our
outreach
programs,
everything
that
we
do
we
benchmark
against.
Did
you
get
housed
and
then
are
you
able
to
maintain
that
housing
and-
and
I
do
think
you
know
there
could
be
the
approach
that
we
strengthen
the
housing
part?
C
K
K
K
So
my
preference
is
that
they
be
included
in
hmis
that
we
get
make
that
connection
between
housing
and
the
type
of
housing
and
that
the
city
council
can
review
that
data
and
that
we
could
also
look
at
other
employment
programs
that
serve
the
homelessness
homeless
and
newly
housed
population
that
that
be
included
in
the
report
that
comes
back
to
council
and
that
that
come
back,
preferably
before
budget.
So
the
mayor
would
like
to
include
it
in
budget.
I
don't
have
it.
C
So
again,
I
just
have
to
check
to
better
understand
what
data
they
are
collecting,
but
I
do
want
to
know
just
because
you
mentioned
it.
We
just
recently
released
an
rfp
to
connect
an
employment
program
with
housing,
so
I
do
think
that
it
makes
sense
when
you're
doing
an
employment
program
that
you
try
to
strengthen
it
with
housing,
because
people
need
both,
especially
if
you're
trying
to
get
them
off
the
streets.
C
So
we
just
did
a
competitive
rfp
for
that,
and
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
bring
back
the
results
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
again
it
matches
jobs
with
housing
to
get
people
off
the
streets
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
we
would
not
have
had
the
results
of
that
program
because
it
would
have
just
it'll
just
be
starting
up
january
1st,
but
it
will
be
it'll
be
another
way
for
us
to
benchmark
kind
of
how
different
different
employment
programs
are
working.
K
And
if
we
could
get
this
data,
pull
the
data
and
make
the
kind
of
benchmarks
that
so
mayor
just
to
to
be
blunt.
So
if
we're
able
to
get
that
data
to
come
to
all
of
us
and
and
if
there's
so,
are
you
tied
to
measure
e
being
the
funding
source?
Could
there
be
another
funding
source
to
accomplish
the
same
goal
that
we
can
use
based
on
housing
and
homelessness,
data.
A
K
B
K
B
K
It
and
to
do
it
in
a
way
that
doesn't
get
around
the
two-thirds
majority
right,
that
we
still
that
this
comes
back
to
the
full
council
that
we're
able
to
discuss
it
as
a
group
in
public
and
make
make
all
the
balancing
and
judgments
that
we
need
to.
As
a
council,
okay,
I
I
and
and
when
would
that
come
to
us,
jackie
prior
to
budget.
C
K
Okay,
I
I
and
my
request
be
that
this
come
prior
to
budget,
so
that
again
we
have
time
to
kind
of
figure
figure
that
out
and
we're
not
cutting.
Well,
the
mayor,
just
to
be
clear,
was
not
proposing
cutting
anything
out
of
this
year,
he's
just
it's
for
next
year's
plan,
but
that
way
we're
staying
with
the
plan.
The
first
plan
for
this
first
year
of
measure
e
spending.
Okay,
so
I
think
that
covers
my
question.
K
So
I'd
like
to
then
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
staff
memo
to
include
council
member
adanas's
memo
that
includes
within
the
homeless
prevention
funding.
That
is
proposed
in
the
staff
plan
to
allocate
some
money
for
dv
and
sexual
assault,
which
I
believe
is
already
part
of
our
overall
plans,
but
that
we
do
set
that
aside-
and
that
includes
the
mayor's
memo
with
the
acknowledgement
that
this
data
come
back
to
the
full
council
before
budget.
So
that's
my
motion.
L
L
L
N
So
the
over
the
past,
the
course
of
the
past
couple
of
months,
we've
actually
provided
25
million
dollars
in
rent
relief.
This
has
come
from
a
variety
of
sources.
Some
of
it
has
been
from
our
cares
money.
Some
of
it
has
been
from
our
existing
funding
sources
such
as
cdbg
and
sources
like
that
that
we
have
typically
used
for
a
variety
of
purposes,
but
we
have
repurposed
and
prioritized
rent
relief,
and
so
that
has
been
a
huge,
a
huge
move
and-
and
we
really
you
know-
we
really
feel
like
it.
L
N
For
I'll
just
touch
on
mortgages
quickly,
first,
so
we
I
was
able
to
pull
some
data
related
to
more
foreclosure
information
in
our
county
and,
what's
really
interesting,
is
actually
the
the
level
of
foreclosures
has
significantly
declined
through
the
it's.
It's
very
clear
that
in
march
all
the
way
till
today,
there's
just
been
a
a
much
lower
rate
of
foreclosure.
N
So
I
so
it's
it.
You
can
definitely
see
something
happened
in
the
data
and,
as
we
look
forward,
obviously
like
the
rest
of
these
deadlines
that
that
provision
will
be
lifted
at
the
end
of
december,
and
so
it's
definitely
something
we
want
to
watch.
But
what
we
have
learned
from
other
experiences
in
the
past
as
well,
is
that
people
who
are
are
falling
behind
on
their
mortgages
do
have
a
couple
of
choices.
N
Number
one
they
can
look
into
forbearance
and
forbearance
is
something
that
is
being
made
available
to
people
who
have
been
impacted
by
covet
and
definitely
something
that
people
are
looking
into,
and
then
the
other
option
is
that
they,
if
they
are
in
a
real
difficult
situation,
they
could
also
sell
their
home
and
be
able
to
kind
of
get.
You
know
get
out
of
that
financial
situation.
N
That
may
not
be
the
best
answer
for
everyone,
but
it
is
also
an
option
in
our
our
single-family
housing
market
continues
to
be
strong
in
san
jose,
and
so
so
those
would
be
some
choices
that
they
would
be
able
to
do,
but
is
it
I'm
glad
that
you
brought
it
up?
It's
something
that
we
want
to
continue
to
monitor
and
and
definitely
see
through
december,
as
some
of
these
provisions
change
how
how
that
impacts.
Our
overall
community.
C
I
just
wanted
to
jump
in
to
say
it's
not
just
the
housing
department.
That's
monitoring
this!
It's
really
also
the
eoc,
the
recovery
team,
the
economic
recovery
team
and
we're
all
working
together
to
try
to
better
understand
this
rental
housing
cliff
that
we
understand
will
be
coming
so
they're
working
on
a
survey.
Now
that
they're
going
to
be
pushing
out
to
our
most
impacted,
zip
codes
and
they'll.
There
will
be
questions
regarding
housing
and
housing
stabilities
to
help
us
get
a
better
idea.
C
N
There
are
definitely
some
residents
and
tenants
that
are
behind,
and
but
many
times
they
tend
to
be
the
same
as
the
ones
who
were
behind
before
the
pandemic,
so
that
you
know
there
might
have
been
some
challenges
heading
into
it
that
have
just
been
difficult
to
overcome
through
the
situation
as
well.
So
that's
also
some
information.
We've
been
able
to
gather
just
through
conversation,
and
I
think
I
think
it
it
is
a.
L
Thank
you,
and
I
appreciate
that.
I
just
want
to
comment
that
I
think
the
I
understand
that
that
people
with
mortgages
have
have
a
few
more
options.
As
you
mentioned.
I
do
worry
about
the
fact
that
the
previous
financial
crisis
in
the
2008-2010
time
frame
wealth
evaporated
disproportionately
for
people
of
color
and
I'm
I'm
worried
about
that
happening
again.
If,
if
we
have
people
who,
as
you
said,
one
option
is
to
sell
your
home,
but
but
we
know
that
that
is,
that
is
a
way
to
it.
L
Basically
breaks
kind
of
the
generational
wealth
transfer
right,
so
I
am.
I
am
worried
about
that
and
that's
something
that
I
hope
that
we
can
keep
keep
an
eye
on,
and
I
I
just
keep
thinking
I
you
know
council,
member
esparza
and
I
pushed
so
hard
for
the
45
percent
for
eli,
and
I
I
want
to
keep
that
and
I
I
feel
very
strongly
that
the
allocations
that
we
have
are
the
right
allocations.
L
L
What
I
worry
about
is
having
a
large
number
of
people
added
to
our
our
the
ranks
of
our
homelessness,
our
homeless
population,
because
we
didn't
make
an
allocation
change
in
time
to
forestall
a
wave
of
evictions
that
I
hope
is
not
coming,
but
that
I
fear
is
coming
so
I
just
wanna.
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
we
need
to
put
it
into
the
motion.
I
you
guys.
I
know
rachel
here.
We
had
a
long
conversation
about
this
yesterday
and
you're
worried
about
the
same
thing
I'm
worried
about.
So
I
don't.
L
L
If,
if
it's
not
looking
good
or
if
we're
running
out
of
time
for
that
60-day
window,
that
we
need
to
change
our
allocation
that
that
you
would
just
come
to
us,
and
we
would
have
that
discussion
and
I
think
we
can
put
in
place
a
spending
priority
sort
of
contingency
where,
if
this
happens,
then
we
do
x.
If
that
happens,
then
we
do
y.
L
I
just
like
to
put
that
out
there,
and
I
just
wanted
to
have
that
discussion
publicly
with
with
my
colleagues,
because
it
is
something
that
I
know
we
all
are
worried
about
and
that
this
is
one
really
only
one
area,
the
the
one
area
where
we
could
make
changes
without
impacting
our
our
staffing,
which
is
the
other
thing
that
I'm
worried
about
in
terms
of
the
budget
going
forward.
So.
C
Just
hearing
your
comments
and
remembering
that
we
need
60
days,
you
know
we
probably
would
want
to
come
back
then
in
december
right,
because
you
would
need
december.
Have
us
come
back
in
january,
because
january
is
when
the
eviction
moratoriums
begin
to
peel
off.
It's
also,
if
we
timed
it
so
the
section
second
action
came
at
the
time
where
you
as
a
council
could
make
additional
decisions
because
there
were
limitations
under
the
state
law
and
what
you
could
do
until
january.
C
I
think
that
is
the
timing
we
would
want
to
hit,
and
I
think
the
third
thing
that
we
would
be
cognizant
of
frankly
is
capacity.
I
have
to
say
that
we
really
pushed
all
of
the
non-profits
to
try
to
get
the
money
out
and,
of
course
we
were
not
as
flexible.
So
I'm
going
to
take
responsibility
for
that.
C
And
so
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
where
we
made
that
investment
that
tenants
were
actually
protected,
so
it
came
with
additional
strings
which
made
it
more
difficult,
and
so
we
would
want
to
come
back
with
capacity
as
well,
because
I
don't
think
you
know
we
would
take
all
of
it
because
it
couldn't
get
out
soon
enough.
So
I
think
those
are
the
things
we
would
be
thinking
about.
L
L
C
Okay,
I
think
I
get
what
you're
saying
yeah
also
this
other
money.
So
we
can
work
with
our
partners
to
find
out
how
much
money
they'll
have
and
how
far
that
carries
them
out,
yeah
that
we
would
still,
as
a
department,
want
to
come
back.
The
timing,
at
least
for
the
first
action
of
anything,
to
give
you
an
update
when
the
state
moratorium
gets
lifted
and
you
all
have
an
opportunity
to
take
an
action.
L
I
we
don't
have
large
sums
of
money
ever
and
and
it's
always
a
hard
choice,
and
this
is
this
is
definitely
one
of
those
where
you
know
I
read
the
memo
on
on
friday
and
kind
of
agonize
it
over
it
on
the
weekend
and
talk
to
rachel
on
monday,
and
I'm
still
you
know
I
don't
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
say,
let's
reallocate
it.
L
I
don't
even
want
to
advocate
for
that,
because
we
do
need
that
that
permanent
housing
and
we
we
all
know
how
great
that
need
is
at
the
eli
level,
but
I
also
don't
want
thousands
more
people
on
this
on
the
streets
and
and
that's
particularly
acute
this
week
as
it
as
it's
a
much
chillier
week.
So
it's
got
me
thinking
about
that.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
mayor
first,
I
want
to
thank
the
voters
for
actually
passing
measure
e
in
march,
allowing
us
to
put
this
transfer
tax
in
effect,
that
affects
properties
of
2
million
transfer
properties
that
are
sold
of
two
million
or
over.
So
that's
a
point
of
sale.
It's
not
everyone
isn't
taxed
on
it.
You're
only
taxed
on
it
if
you're
actually
selling
your
property
and
it's
worth
two
million
or
more.
M
M
Foreclosures
can
begin
in
january,
too
they're,
both
they're
both
actually
tied
to
each
other.
If,
if
the
the
landlord
is
a
small,
mom
and
pop,
and
they
depend
on
the
rent
from
the
land,
the
tenant
to
make
their
mortgage
payments
and
yes,
forbearance
is
an
option
and
selling
their
property
is
an
option
but,
as
councilmember
davis
said,
owning
real
estate
is
one
way
to
build
wealth
from
generation
to
generation
that
many
generations
have
lost
out,
or
many
people
of
color
have
lost
out
over
the
years,
and
we
cannot
assist
in
that.
M
I'm
concerned,
you
know,
the
budget
allocation
is
how
it
has
to
be
unless
we
change
it,
and
we
have
the
process
which
you
laid
out
in
your
memo,
jackie
and
rachel
and
and
I'd
actually
like
to
see
us
begin
the
process
to
reallocate
to
consider
rents,
because
what
will
hap?
What
I
fear
is
going
to
happen
is
we
have
an
unhoused
population
already,
but
because
renters
aren't
going
able
to
be
able
to
pay
their
rent
in
january,
then
in
60
days
we're
increasing
or
they
we
are
we're
not
preventing.
M
Let
me
put
it
that
way:
we're
not
preventing
individuals
who
are
renters
from
becoming
homeless,
and
we
need
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
keep
those
people
in
houses
who
are
currently
in
houses.
I'm
not
saying
that
we
shouldn't
build
housing
for
the
unhoused
or
ela
or
affordable
housing
or
very
low
income.
We
should
do
that,
but
that
all
takes
time
we
don't
have
much
time
for
those
people
who
are
renting,
who
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
pay
their
rent
in
january
february
time
every
that
requires.
M
We
saw
that
in
the
last
recession,
how
many
people
lost
their
homes
and
then
resulted
in
moving
in
to
housing
with
other
folks
or
moved
out
of
the
area
or
ended
up
homeless
because
of
the
huge
housing
crisis
we
had
before
totally
different
reasons.
A
lot
of
people
have
a
lot
more
equity
now
than
they
have
then,
but
selling
sometimes
isn't
an
option.
M
If
they
don't
have
any
equity
in
their
house,
they
don't
have
anything
to
sell
and
pull
out
sure
they
can
sell
the
asset,
but
it
doesn't
mean
they
necessarily
their
mortgage
is
less
than
the
value
of
their
property.
So
I
really
think
we
need
to
escalate
rental
assistance,
and
I
know
rachel
you'd
mentioned
we've
already
put
aside
25
million,
and
that
has
been
distributed,
and
I
know
from
destination
home
that
that's
not
enough
that
there's
we
we
just.
We
actually
don't
know
how
big
it
is.
M
If,
if
landlords,
if
the
25
percent
is
due
now,
I
don't
think
they
can
for
the
evict
for
the
25
percent.
That
is
due
and
that's
25
percent
of
the
arrearages,
the
unpaid
rent
is
required
to
be
paid.
I
don't
think
they
can
be
evicted,
but
they
can
go
to
court
over
it
and
demand
that
it
be
paid.
So
it's
another
lien
that
or
another
responsibility
that
a
tenant
has
to
pay.
That
then
cannot
pay.
M
We
just
don't
know
the
scope,
so
I
cannot
emphasize
what
councilman
davis
said
enough
she's
slightly
more
articulate
than
I
was,
but
I've
I've
been
thinking
about
this
for
a
long
time
that
we
really
need
to
work
to
help
our
renters,
because
we
don't
want
to
add
any
more
people
to
the
unhoused
population.
We
can't
handle
them
as
on
the
unhoused
population.
So
let's
keep
them
where
they,
where
they
are.
M
So
I
don't
know.
I
you've
heard
this
loud
and
clear,
jackie,
so
I'll
leave
it
up
to
you
what
that
means.
But
I'd
love
to
see
the
beginning
of
the
process
for
us
to
reassess
this.
I'm
also
very
mindful
that
the
voters
approved
a
spending
plan
or
philosophy
of
how
we
were
going
to
use
these
funds
and
that
there
is
a
process
that
we
have
to
put
in
place.
Otherwise,
I
don't
because
I
don't
want
to
lose
the
voters,
trust
in
our
dollars
and
how
we
want
to
allocate
them.
M
M
But
jim
there
aren't,
while
property
values
are
holding,
sales
are
not
brisk,
there
aren't
a
lot
of
properties
on
the
market.
What
is
on
the
market
is
selling
unless
it's
a
town
home
and
then
they're
kind
of
sitting
around
a
little
bit.
So
can
you
tell
me
how
comfortable
you
are
with
the
30
million
dollars
that
you've
we've
allocated
in
our
budget.
A
F
F
M
Okay
can
thank
you
and
I
I
I
actually
made
the
assumption
that
that
would
be
your
answer.
It's
because
it's
difficult
to
know.
How
do
you
predict
what
the
real
estate
market
is?
We
had
the
the
fires
that
took
listings
off
the
market
or
sales
off
the
market
for
about
a
month,
because
people
weren't
showing
houses
during
the
time
when
it
was
so
toxic
outside
then
so
every
every
little
thing
that
comes
along
does
affect
real
estate.
B
M
F
M
F
M
Okay,
okay,
good!
Well,
I
I
think
you
know
with
those
numbers
we
should
be
on
track
for
the
the
30
million,
then,
because
the
springtime
is
when
the
market
picks
up
and
people
are
really
anxious
to
buy.
They
do
have
down
payments,
those
who
can
afford
the
mortgage
payments,
they
do
have
the
twenty
percent
down,
they
need,
but
they're
not
buying
two
million
dollar
home.
So
that's
one
thing
we
need
to
to
be
concerned
about
so
that's
one
thing
I'll
be
watching.
I
am
very
supportive
of
the
funding
plan.
M
M
Then
let's
move
forward
through
the
process
in
in
tangent,
with
thinking
that
we
might
get
some
relief
at
the
federal
government,
but
not
depending
on
the
relief
from
the
federal
government.
So,
in
other
words,
if
we
get
the
federal
the
relief,
we
don't
need
the
assistance,
but
if
we
don't
get
the
relief,
we
ought
to
be
ready
to
go
to
help
tenants
out.
M
O
Thank
you
and
I
apologize
I'm
not
going
to
put
my
video.
I've
already
been
kicked
out
of
this
meeting
like
eight
times
since
we
started
so
please
bear
with
me
in
case
I
I
freeze.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
housing
staff
rachel
and
jackie
you've
just
made
so
much
progress,
even
though
these
are
very
difficult
times.
O
Of
course,
we've
got
some
work
to
do,
but,
but
I
have
faith
that
that
we
will
be
able
to
support
as
many
people
as
we
can,
and
so.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
I
know
behind
the
scenes
must
just
be
a
tremendous
amount
of
hours
going
into
any
any
one
of
these
items,
so
I
wanted
to
besides
just
being
grateful
to
you
as
as
a
housing
department.
O
We
don't
really
really
see
women
out
there
or
or
children,
but
we
know
that
there's
a
large
community
mothers
who
are
struggling
with
couch
surfing,
and
so
it's
in
the
it's
inadequate
housing.
It's
not
might
be
completely
unhoused,
and
so
I
wanted
to
know
and
dig
into
this
piece
a
little
bit
more
because
I
I
agree
that
there
should
be
a
path
forward
for
employment
for
our
community
so
that
they
can
get
to
stable
housing.
O
C
O
That
would
be
great
when,
when
I
first
started-
and
I
think
the
cohort
that
came
in
when
I
first
started,
we
had
a
a
number
of
housing
forums.
That
pact
had
invited
us
to,
and
stakeholders
and
I've
got
to
tell
you
that
the
largest
amount-
and
this
is
you
know
this-
is
of
course,
no
not
not
nothing
respectable
by
council
member
davis's
standards
in
terms
of
data.
But
this
is
just
you
know,
visually
and
and
and
sharing
of
information
and
stories.
O
But
most
of
the
profiles
in
any
of
those
forums
were
single
fam
single
women
who
had
children
and
they
mostly
were
couch
surfing
and
they
had
left
a
relationship,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
our
program
is
is
also
going
to
incorporate
the
women
who
are
struggling
out
there
to
to
also
provide
a
path
forward
for
them
some
possibilities
for
them.
So
that
would
be
my
my
contribution
to
that
part
of
the
conversation.
O
They
don't
say:
oh,
we
we
declined
and-
and
we
didn't
hear
that
jackie
remember-
we
heard
that
from
one
of
the
nonprofits
for
domestic
violence
and-
and
it
was
just
it
just
breaks
my
heart-
to
know
that
they
can't
accept
some
of
our
money,
because
it
is
just
too
tough
to
comply
with
requirements,
and
you
know
all
of
the
barrage
that
comes
in
with
federal
funding.
So
I
I
want
to
make
sure-
and
I
know
that
you
do
keep
keep
all
of
that.
O
So
those
are
my
my
comments.
I
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
I
know
jackie
that
you've
been
very
thoughtful
about
how
to
make
this
as
easy
as
possible
for
our
families.
You've
you've
gone
as
far
as
you
know,
making
some
of
the
rights
directly
to
the
landlord
so
well,
sometimes
well
federal,
I
think
that's
a
requirement,
but
definitely
for
for
some
of
the
the
child
care
pieces.
O
Keeping
this
income
out
out
of
the
hands
of
our
families
can
help
also
prevent
them
from
having
this
look
like
income
for
those
families,
and
then
they
they
no
longer
qualify
for
the
other
programs
that
they
rely
on.
So
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
consideration
on
your
part.
Please
continue
with
that
consideration
so
that
we
can
make
the
most
of
all
of
these
resources
and,
let's
and
then
I'd
love
to
see
what
that
demographic
is
for
women
in
the
employment
programs.
And
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
P
P
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
don't
think
anybody
could
have
predicted
that
we
would
be
passing
measure
e
and,
at
the
same
time,
be
immediately
tested
on
our
spending
plan
with
it.
I
think
we
knew
all
along
clearly
that
the
dollars
were,
you
know,
able
to
legally
general
fund
dollars
to
be
spent
really
anywhere,
but
put
in
place
the
spending
plan
to
focus
on
development
of
affordable
housing
and
keeping
people
from
from
homelessness.
P
Although
we
had
experienced
a
prior
recession-
and
I
think
we
knew
that
that
those
could
come
and
I
think
that
we're
just
being
tested
rather
early
on
our
ability
to
stick
to
the
spending
plan
that
we
put
in
place
to
focus
on
what
we
know
is
the
the
the
dire
need
of
developing,
affordable,
housing
and
and
again
keeping
people
out
of
homelessness.
And
so
I
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
by
my
staff.
The
comments
from
my
my
colleagues
in
line
with.
I
think,
where
my
thoughts
are.
P
I
I
definitely
don't
necessarily
want
to
want
to
jump
the
gun
on
on
doing
any
sort
of
reallocation
of
of
these
funds,
but
certainly
I
think
it's
always
up
for
discussion.
It's
in
it's
in
the
spending
plan,
as
far
as
an
opportunity,
certainly
a
little
bit
more
hurdles
to
go
through,
but
it's
there
for
a
reason.
At
the
same
time,
I
think
we
certainly
want
to
try
to
to
see
out
specifically
with
measure
e
dollars.
P
We
want
to
see
out
the
plan
before
we
start
reallocating
unless
there
is
a
real
valid
need
to
do
so.
I
think,
in
regards
to
the
mayor's
memo
specifically-
and
this
was
brought
up
on
some
of
the
the
eligibility
of
dollars
for
the
the
bridge
employment
program,
the
the
one
line
that
that
that
struck
me
was
in
regards
to
programs
where
employment
is
linked
to
an
individual's
ability
to
remain
housed
and
initially
just
kind
of
thought.
Well,
that's
that's
likely.
P
All
of
us
that
have
you
know
a
our
our
employment
could
especially
living
here
in
the
bay
area,
is
pretty
specific
to
keeping
us
housed,
but
I
think,
obviously,
that's
not
the
intent.
There
is
just
any
old
employment.
The
idea
would
be
individuals
like
in
the
the
bridge
employment
program
that
were
either
experiencing
or
currently
experiencing
homelessness.
P
A
Thank
you
appreciate
all
my
colleagues
comments
and
appreciate
the
justifiable
anxiety
about
the
eviction
cliff
that
we
may
be
facing
if
we're
not
able
to
get
a
package
out
of
washington
dc
to
assist
local
communities.
I
I
know
it's
obvious
to
everyone,
but
sometimes
it's
worth
saying.
What's
obvious,
so
let
me
just
say
it
there's
not
nearly
enough
money
in
measure
e
or
any
other
funding
source
to
be
able
to
satisfy
the
depth
of
need
even
a
significant
fraction
of
the
depth
and
need
in
our
community.
A
That
was
raised
through
silicon
valley,
strong
and
enormous
amount
of
heavy
lifting
done
by
a
lot
of
people
to
get
there
and
only
a
very,
very,
very
small
fraction
of
the
need,
and
so
I
say
that,
because
I
I
would.
I
think
that
we
may
have
to
think
differently
about
this.
Should
we
have
to
reach
this
horrible
potential
decision,
which
is
how
we
would
reallocate
money
it?
I
believe,
there's
an
opportunity,
I'd
like
to
believe
there's
an
opportunity
to
be
a
little
more
creative
about
how
we
could
help
more
people
than
the
people.
A
We
would
be.
The
number
of
people
we'd
be
helping
simply
by
cutting
checks.
The
way
we've
been
doing
it
and
I
think
the
reality
is
you
know
as
we
we
look
at
data
from
the
urban
institute,
says:
45
percent
of
all
rental
households
have
suffered
some
significant
loss
in
income
through
this
pandemic
unemployment
in
san
jose.
A
So
I
just
would,
I
just
want
to
hesitate
before
we
jump
into
a
solution
that
says:
let's
go
cut
checks
the
way
we've
been
doing
it
because
I
just
don't
believe
we're
going
to
be
able
to
help
enough
people
that
way
and
we
need
to
probably
be
thinking
more
strategically
about
how
we
could
do
have
have
a
greater
impact
anyway.
I
know
this
is
a
conversation.
We
will
be
getting
very
deeply
engaged
in
in
the
months
ahead
if
we
have
to-
and
obviously
we
all
hope
we
don't
have
to
have
that
conversation.
A
B
C
K
A
A
B
Yes,
good
evening,
matthew,
reed
from
silicon
valley
at
home,
mayor
and
council.
I
want
to
start
by
acknowledging
staff's
work
on
this
item.
I
know
this
has
been
in
the
works
for
a
while
and
it's
complicated
stuff
and
that
it's
getting
the
pieces
together
to
issue
a
new
nofa
so
that
we
can
get
some
of
the
pipeline
of
new,
affordable
developments
moving.
B
We
know
this
has
been
challenging.
I
I
want
to
note
that
many
of
the
proposed
changes
do
pose
real
challenges
to
affordable
developers
and
that
staff
has
been
has
been.
You
know,
working
through
this
process
with
them
towards
that
end.
These
these
relationships
are
important,
and
I
want
to
note
and
appreciate
that
staff
has
initiated
a
a
collaborative
open
process
for
taking
on
the
challenges
of
the
rent
burden
issue
and
that
that's
important
in
this
time.
It's
it's.
B
It
really
is
a
challenge
for
affordable
developers
and
it's
there
are
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
here.
So
so
we
really
appreciate
that
we
would
recommend
that
these
changes
are.
The
impact
of
the
changes
are
somewhat
uncertain,
and
so
it
would
be
good
to
have
a
review
of
the
new
guidelines
in
the
relatively
near
future.
I
know
these
things:
don't
move
quickly
to
fully
assess
their
impact
on
affordable
housing,
financing
and
operations
in
the
city.
B
H
Yes,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
you
know.
The
last
item
was
a
lot
and
it
sounds
like
what
this
item
can
talk
about.
You
can
also
just
your
funding,
needs
that
that
that
you're
worried
about
at
this
time-
and
it
wasn't
mentioned
enough-
you-
you
considered
the
need
of
hoping
that
federal
funding
will
be
coming
through.
H
H
You
know
it's
just
a
matter
of.
I
hope
you
can
learn
to
talk
about
what's
happening
at
the
state
level
and
perhaps
mention
you
know.
Ashkara
must
be
doing
some
incredible
work
right
now,
incredible
legwork,
right
now
to
try
to
work
things
out,
and
I
know
you
know
like
what
I've
mentioned
a
few
times:
alameda
county
cities
of
berkeley,
for
instance,
they
seem
to
have
a
really
good
track
on
on
how
work
is
going
at
the
state
level
and
they've
they've
gauged
and
their
communities.
A
J
Well,
I,
like
the
truthfulness
of
what
you
guys
had
to
say
how
you're
going
to
run
out
of
money,
it's
going
to
happen
and
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
generate
any
more
money.
If
you
start
listening
to
people
like
gavin
newsom
and
these
other
people
who
want
to
lock
down
the
economy,
I
mean
it's
just
that
simple,
and
then
you
know
your
guys.
You
know
your
your
supposed
president-elect
guy.
He
wants
to
shut
the
country
down
and
make
everybody
wear
a
mask.
J
You
know
I
mean
this
is
getting
insane.
People
were
able
to
open
up
and
do
business
on
a
very
limited
scale
and
at
least
enable
some
kind
of
tax
revenue.
I
saw
a
decent
economy
happening
just
you
know
not
far
from
where
I
lived
people
shopping
going
out
doing
what
they
could
with
these
circumstances,
but
yeah.
If
you're
going
to
be
you're,
not
going
to
be
able
to
promise
all
these
people
this
kind
of
money
and
what
about
the
landlord?
Who
who
needs
that
money
to
help
somebody
in
the
hospital
and
their
family?
J
J
They
can't
afford
to
let
people
skip,
skip,
rent
and
and
do
these
kind
of
things
I
mean
it
is
logical
that
there's
not
there's
nobody
in
line
for
these
places,
because
everybody's
gun
shy
doesn't
have
the
money
or
or
whatever,
but
you
guys
are
going
to
have
to
open
the
economy
back
up
and
not
be
such
nervous
nellie's.
With
these
masks
and
these
face
shields
and
gloves,
I
mean
it's
disgusting,
you
go
someplace
that
the
staff
look
like
they're
from
outer
space,
it's
weird
but
yeah.
J
L
Thank
you
just
one
quest
question
rachel
about
the
float
up,
affordability,
restrictions.
It
says
the
underwriting
guidelines
will
be
amended
to
allow
the
float
up
of
affordability,
affordability,
levels
to
a
maximum
of
60
ami
at
the
discretion
of
the
city
council
provisions
will
apply
to
new
tenants
only
and
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
ask
this
yesterday:
when
we
spoke,
can
you
clarify
if
what
happens
to
tenants
whose
income
increases
over
time
are
they
allowed
to
stay
in
their
apartment?.
N
Yes,
that's
a
great
question
so
every
year
there's
an
annual
re-certification
of
all
the
tenants
who
live
in
affordable
housing
developments
and
that's
managed
by
the
property
management
group.
So
what
they
do
is
they
gather
income
information
and
they
review
the
household
income
for
that
for
that
tenant
and
resident.
So
then
what
they
do
is,
as
you
can
imagine,
some
some
incomes
go
up.
Some
may
go
down.
N
L
A
Rachel
or
jackie,
I
I
know
that
you
guys
have
heard
some
pushback
from
affordable
developers,
as
we
have.
I
think,
a
lot
of
concern,
particularly
about
the
fee
cap,
the
10
and
concerned
that
it's
not
likely
to
be
viable
for
a
lot
of
folks
to
do
rehab
projects
with
that
cap.
I
know
tcac
has
a
flat
fee,
which
I
can
understand
why
you
might
want
to
get
off
that
fee,
because
you
want
to
try
to
incentivize
more
investment
and
a
larger
rehab
project,
but.
A
N
Yeah,
so
what
we
did
is
we
looked
at
some
recent
transactions
and-
and
we
took
a
look
at
the
amount
of
rehab
that
was
happening
versus
the
the
developer
fee,
that
was
charged
for
the
development,
and
so
we
used
real
projects
in
order
to
determine
the
ratio
and
how
we've
what
we
felt
like
was
a
fair,
a
fair
amount.
What
we've
also
noticed
is
that
there
there's
just
a
couple
things
happening
in
our
portfolio
at
this
time.
N
One
is
that,
15
years
ago,
san
jose
was
busy
doing
creating
new,
affordable
housing,
and
so
after
15
years,
there's
this
this
point
in
time
when
there's
an
opportunity
for
these
refinancings
to
happen,
and
so
it's
very
natural
for
that
to
happen,
and
so
there's
just
an
uptick
in
in
the
in
the
number
of
these
that
we've
seen
recently.
Also
interest
rates
are
really
favorable,
and
so
there's
there's
just
motivation
to
take
a
look
at
options
that
people
have,
and
so
what
we
want
to
do
is
we
feel
like.
N
This
is
a
point
in
time
where
we
would
like
to
find
is
to
create
some
incentive
for
investment
in
the
property
as
well.
At
this
moment-
and
so
that's
really,
what
this
is
doing
is
trying
to
tie
the
investment
into
the
property
to
the
development
fee,
so
that
there
is
some
relationship
there
and
I
would
just
say
yeah
we
are
this
is
this
is
really.
This
is
new,
it's
new
for
us,
it's
new
for
our
development
community.
N
I
definitely
agree
that
we
want
to
take
a
look
at
this
for
sure
within
the
next
year,
reflect
and
refine
it.
I
we
don't
know
if
this
is
the
the
right
number,
but
I
think
that
we
will
have
over
the
next
coming
months.
I'm
sure
we
will
have
plenty
of
opportunities
to
work
with
developers
just
to
see
if
this
is
reasonable
and-
and
this
is
really
a
starting
place,
so
that
we
can
come
back
and
evaluate
if
we
think
there
needs
to
be
changes
made.
N
A
C
The
difference
is
now
they're
going
to
have
to
demonstrate
to
us
why
it's
insufficient,
instead
of
just
pulling
out
the
cash
in
order
to
make
a
greater
profit,
and
if
they
can
indeed
do
that,
we
always
have-
and
you
see
this
in
our
memos,
we
will
clearly
state
that
it
does
not
that
what
we're
asking
you
to
do.
The
action,
we're
asking
is
inconsistent
with
our
current
policies
and
therefore
you
must
approve
it.
A
A
I
K
C
F
A
C
Okay-
okay,
again
it
is
jackie
morales
grant,
and
I'm
here
with
rachel
who's
still
with
me
in
awake
and
dan
rinsler
who's
joining
us.
He
is
our
consultant
on
this
particular
policy,
so
this
is
an
update
on
what
we've
been
able
to
achieve
so
far,
and
it
was
really
we
wanted
to
bring
this
forward,
because
we
wanted
to
demonstrate
we'd
actually
made
some
progress
on
this
particular
item,
which
has
it,
admittedly,
a
slow
start
due
to
covet
19..
C
So
one
of
the
goals,
we
have
several
goals
that
we're
trying
to
balance
through
the
creation
of
this
new,
affordable
housing
siting
policy.
One
is
we
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
consistent
with
fair
housing
laws,
and
so
that
will
provide
some
of
the
box
in
which
we
will
work
in
in
terms
of
creating
this
policy.
C
We
also
understand
that
there
was
a
point
in
time
when
extremely
low
income
housing
was
potentially
putting
a
strain
in
high
poverty
neighborhoods,
and
so
we
want
to
create
a
policy
that
clearly
defines
what
those
high
poverty
areas
are
and
where
we
need
to
have
additional
consideration.
When
we're
citing,
affordable
housing,
we
also
know
that
there
are
areas
that
might
already
be
low
income,
but
that
they're
going
through
changes
in
their
community
and
based
on
our
anti-displacement
strategy.
C
The
fact
that
I
was
in
a
very
high
performing
school
district
completely
changed
my
life,
because
everyone
around
me
went
to
college,
and
so
it
was
something
that
I
just
realized
I
had
to
do
and
I
had
to
figure
it
out,
and
so
these
opportunities
that
you
can
provide
someone
who
may
not
necessarily
be
in
a
family
that
might
support
those
opportunities
for
whatever
reason
being
in
those
school
districts
and
being
those
neighborhoods
can
be
a
game.
Changer
next
slide.
C
C
It
would
also
apply
in
our
inclusionary
off-site,
affordable
housing
development
option.
So
it's
not
going
to
apply
when
a
developer
is
moving
forward
with
a
market
rate
development
and
in
order
to
meet
his
or
her
inclusionary
he's
he's,
including
a
set-aside,
because
that,
by
definition,
is
integrating
the
affordable
into
the
market.
C
So
we
would
say
that
that
is
close
enough
to
the
market
rate
development
and
it
doesn't.
We
don't
need
to
do
additional
analysis.
However,
when
the
developer
is
saying,
I
want
to
build
off
site
we're
not
going
to
allow
them
to
move
all
of
their
housing
they're
affordable
in
a
cluster,
that's
far
away
from
their
development.
If
it's
in
a
high
opportunity
area
just
to
place
it
into
a
lower
income
neighborhood,
we
would.
We
would
use
this
new
policy
to
apply
to
that.
D
So
mayor
and
city
council,
thank
you
for
having
me.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
admire
your
endurance.
This
is
a
very
long
meeting
where
you're
covering
a
lot
of
important
matters
to
the
city.
So
I
salute
you
so
my
name
is
dan
rinsler.
I'm
a
senior
policy
analyst
from
the
california
housing
partnership,
which
is
a
private
nonprofit,
created
in
1988,
dedicated
to
creating
and
preserving
affordable
and
sustainable
homes
for
californians
with
low
incomes
by
providing
financial
policy
solutions
to
non-profit
and
public
partners.
D
The
othering
and
belonging
institute
is
our
partner
on
the
consultant
team,
but
I
will
be
presenting
on
behalf
of
the
whole
team
tonight
as
shown
on
this
slide.
Our
organizations
are
part
of
the
state
of
california's
fair
housing
task
force,
which
was
convened
to
create
and
update
the
state's
opportunity
map,
a
clip
of
which
is
shown
here
that
it
uses
across
multiple,
affordable
housing
funding
programs
to
inform
its
citing
policies
and
incentives
related
to
that
goal.
That
jackie
was
talking
about,
of
increasing
access
to
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
for
low-income
families
across
the
state.
D
So
our
first
task
for
for
the
city
was
to
answer
just
a
fundamental
question
from
city
staff,
which
is
how
to
balance
different
siting
priorities
related
to
affirmatively,
furthering
fair
housing.
And
specifically,
you
know:
how
should
the
city
you
know
think
about
increasing
access
to
opportunity
for
low-income
families,
which
is
a
priority
for
it
and
to
and
for
the
state,
and
how
should
it
balance
that
priority
with
other
citing
priorities
like
preventing
displacement
of
lower-income
communities
of
color
that
are
now
experiencing
gentrification
and
so
to
help
answer
this
question?
D
So,
first
for
our
review
of
the
literature,
we
found
a
few
themes
that
we
wanted
to
pull
out.
First
to
jackie's
point
earlier:
neighborhoods
have
really
profound
impacts
on
life
outcomes.
You
know
this
is
the
idea
that
zip
code
is
as
important
in
some
cases
as
genetic
code
and
where
you
grow
up,
can
help,
explain
and
predict
long-term
outcomes
for
low-income
families
and
for
children
in
particular.
D
So
the
literature
is
very
clear,
for
example,
that
if
a
low-income
child
grows
up
in
a
neighborhood
that
has
certain
characteristics,
such
as
low
poverty
rates,
quality,
public
schools,
safe
streets,
that
child
is
more
likely
to
attend
college
climb
the
economic
ladder
than
a
child
from
a
low-income
family
who
grows
up
in
a
higher
poverty.
Neighborhood
neighborhoods
can
also
profoundly
impact
physical
and
mental
health
for
adults
as
well
as
children.
So
there's
experimental
research
showing
that
you
know
living
in
a
lower
poverty.
D
D
The
second
point
is
that
access
to
opportunity
varies
quite
a
bit
by
race
and
income,
so
studies
on
where
people
from
different
race
and
ethnic
groups
live
have
shown
consistently
that
in
general,
unsurprisingly,
high
income
people,
people
from
high
income
families
are
much
more
likely
to
live
in
opportunity.
Rich
neighborhoods,
however,
race
appears
to
be
a
larger,
determining
factor
than
income
in
some
cases
so
exa.
D
In
addition,
studies
have
shown
that
when
given
the
opportunity
to
move
to
a
wider
range
of
neighborhoods
and
into
opportunity-rich
neighborhoods
in
particular,
you
know
many
low-income
families
of
color
across
race,
ethnicity,
immigration
status
are
actually
interested
in
moving.
Many
of
course
want
to
remain
in
their
communities,
but
many
want
to
move
and
affordable
housing.
Programs
typically
haven't
offered
them.
D
Nor
would
the
sort
of
broader
policy
goal
of
increasing
access
to
opportunity
and
reversing
patterns
of
segregation,
as
outlined
in
the
fair
housing
act,
so
just
to
be
clear.
These
are
findings
that
are
from
broader
studies
and
we
will
be
assessing
patterns
in
san
jose
as
part
of
our
scope
of
work
in
our
effort
to
develop
a
sighting
policy
for
the
city.
D
D
D
And
so
you
know
that
said
there
are
a
few
cities
that
we
found
albuquerque
austin
and
in
washington
dc
that
have
models
that
may
be
useful
for
san
jose
to
consider
each
appears
to
be
a
reflection
of
local
priorities,
so
albuquerque
very
much
is
prioritizing
developing,
affordable
housing
in
higher
opportunity
areas.
Austin
is
trying
to
equally
balance
multiple
siding
priorities,
including
transit,
high
opportunity
areas.
Anti-Displacement
washington
dc
is
seeking
to
equalize
housing,
affordability
across
the
entire
city,
so
these
are
potential
models,
maybe
not
exactly
what
san
jose
wants
to
do.
D
D
You
know,
and
we
think
that
completing
that
analysis
will
help
the
city
establish
priorities
that
are,
you
know,
evidence-based
and
tailored
to
local
context.
So
you
know
big
picture.
Our
recommendation
is
to
you
know,
moving
forward
as
we
kind
of
see
what
the
data
shows
you
know,
base
citing
priorities
on
some
of
the
broader
lessons
from
the
literature.
D
So
children
from
low-income
families
across
racial
and
ethnic
groups
have
better
outcomes
in
opportunity-rich
areas
and
there's
that
need
among
those
groups
to
move
to
these
areas,
but
also,
you
know,
use
the
analysis
that
we
will
be
completing
in
subsequent
tasks
to
establish
citing
priorities
based
on
local
context.
You
know
like,
for
example,
the
degree
to
which
the
geography
of
where
the
city
has
invested
in
affordable
housing
and
overlaid
on
patterns
of
racial
and
economic
concentration,
the
geography
of
opportunity-rich,
neighborhoods
and
so
on.
D
So
just
just
to
wrap
up
my
part
of
the
presentation.
You
know
we
have
begun
putting
the
pieces
together
to
complete
the
kind
of
analysis
that
I
described
so
we
have
gathered
and
mapped
data
on
on
the
following.
So
democrat
demographic
patterns
across
the
city,
where
people
of
different
incomes
and
races
and
ethnicities
live
housing
challenges
such
as
rent
burden
and
overcrowding
and
how
that
is
spatially,
distributed
and
also
overlaid
with
where
affordable
housing
is
located
across
the
city.
N
All
right,
yes,
thank
you,
so
we
will
be
working
with
the
consultant
team
and
holding
a
series
of
listening
sessions
with
the
community
over
the
coming
months.
What
we
want
to
do
with
this
opportunity
is
to
reach
out
to
those
who
are
interested
in
this
issue
and
also
have
expressed
concerns,
and
we
want
to
really
work
with
people
to
understand
how
we
should
be
thinking
about
this
policy
and
what
framework
we
need
to
have
as
we
as
we
approach
this
development
of
this
important
policy.
N
For
for
our
city,
then
what
we
want
to
do
is
bring
forward
the
draft
policy
to
our
housing
commission
in
the
spring,
and
we
will
be
bringing
to
the
full
city
council
for
your
consideration,
the
policy
in
prior
to
july.
So
sometime
towards
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
we
will
be
coming
back
to
you
with
the
full
policy
and
oops
sorry.
N
A
F
F
I
think
the
challenge
is
going
to
get
me
to
get
buy-in
from
the
comfortable
higher-income
established
neighborhoods,
but
I
do
think
that,
with
the
proper
information
those
neighborhoods
could
see
the
benefit
of
a
diverse
population.
As
our
country
grows
more
and
more
diverse,
we,
our
children,
will
need
to
coexist
together
in
many
different
forms.
So
that's
definitely
the
future.
F
F
F
Good
evening,
once
again,
mayor
vice
mayor
city,
council,
members,
ray
branson
destination
home
on
behalf
of
our
organization,
right,
we're
speaking
today
to
acknowledge
the
important
work
that
is
going
forward
to
develop
this
affordable
housing,
citing
plan
and
policy
that
will
provide
a
framework
to
encourage
affordable
housing
development
in
many
parts
of
our
city.
We're
particularly
supportive
of
the
commitment
to
apply
racial
equity
lends
to
this
work
that
recognizes
the
profound
imbalances
in
both
the
need
for
affordable
housing
and
the
lack
of
access
to
opportunity
rich
neighborhoods.
F
We
appreciate
that
this
new,
affordable
housing
siding
policy
is
an
opportunity
to
both
increase
opportunity
and
expand
the
choices
available
to
low-income
households
in
san
jose.
At
the
same
time,
as
you
all
know,
anti-affordable
housing
rhetoric
continues
to
persist
for
a
city.
What
we
can't
afford
with
this
policy
is
for
it
to
become
a
tool
to
limit
development,
affordable
housing
anywhere.
F
A
Thank
you
ray
I'm
going
to.
I
see
several
members
of
the
community
have
their
names
in
an
order,
and
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
respect
the
num
numerical
order,
you've
articulated,
which
means
I'll
be
calling
one
person
a
bit
out
of
order
who's
further
down
on
the
list.
I
hope
everyone
will
be
patient
with
that,
but
it
appears
that
there's
a
presentation
slides.
I
think
that
community
members
would
like
to
make
so
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
their
their
efforts
to
band
together
here.
So
I'll
start
with
antonina.
I
This
is
a
similar
presentation
that
we
said
in
the
past
that
jackie
alluded
to
it,
and
we
feel
that
the
still
that
the
support
of
housing
is
not
being
addressed
in
the
citing
policy
next
slide.
Please
so
there's
a
couple
objectives
we
want
to
accomplish,
and
the
first
one
is
that
we
want
to
work
with
the
city
to
adopt
the
policy
requiring
equitable
dispersion
of
affordable
and
the
support
of
housing
and
the
related
services
throughout
all
10
city
council
districts.
I
Mental
health
issues,
addiction,
disabilities
and
such
you
want
these
two
very
different
types
of
housing
addressed
in
the
citing
policy.
Next
slide,
please
this
map,
it's
as
of
september
2019,
shows
the
concentration
of
these
two
types
of
housing
in
the
city.
The
green
is
for
the
affordable
and
the
red
is
for
the
supportive
next
slide.
Please
this
table
gives
the
data
behind
the
map,
so
more
than
50
percent
of
the
affordable
and
supportive
housing
are
in
district
3,
6
and
7.
next
slide.
Please,
as
another
look
is
the
data
shows
the
supportive
housing
units.
I
F
Okay,
so
as
the
consultant
and
the
housing
department
already
noted,
affordable
housing,
siding
patterns
have
tended
to
be
following
existing
patterns
of
racial
segregation
and
concentrated
poverty.
Additionally,
this
is
not
an
issue
unique
to
san
jose
next
slide.
Please,
we
found
a
journal
article
from
2010
that
discussed
over
concentration
of
homeless
services
and
housing,
and
they
noted
that
an
over
concentration
of
services
and
facilities
and
the
synergy
of
problem
behaviors
can
overwhelm
the
caring
capacity
of
a
neighborhood,
and
this
is
what
motivated
our
research
and
our
coming
together.
Next
slide.
F
Please
one
of
the
things
we
did
as
part
of
our
research
was.
We
took
the
map
that
you've
already
seen,
showing
the
existing
distribution
of
supportive
and
affordable
housing
projects
and
overlaid
it
with
an
income
distribution
for
the
city
of
san
jose
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
lower
resourced
areas
tend
to
be
where
these
kinds
of
facilities
are
concentrated,
and
you
don't
see
so
many
of
these
facilities
concentrated
in
higher
resourced
areas.
Next
slide,
please
to
drill
around
to
drill
down
into
even
more
detail.
This
is
a
map
of
my
neighborhood.
F
I
live
in
the
hinsley
historic
district
within
a
quarter
mile
radius
of
my
house,
there
are
467,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
units
and
beds,
obviously
within
walking
distance.
For
example.
I
live
right
by
the
heritage
home,
which
is
21
beds
for
homeless
unwed
mothers
just
down
the
block
from
me,
is
the
emanuel
house,
the
salvation
army
facility,
where
they
have
78
beds
for
homeless
men,
less
than
a
block
away
as
villa's
on
the
park,
which
is
the
path
supportive
housing
project.
F
Two
short
blocks
to
my
west
is
the
kelsey
air
project
that
has
not
been
built
yet,
but
has
been
approved
and
it's
an
affordable
housing
project.
Three
blocks
away
is
casa
de
clara,
which
provides
services
to
the
homeless.
You
will
also
see
a
number
of
affordable
housing
complexes
in
my
backyard.
Basically,
and
one
mile
away
not
on
this
map
is
the
second
supportive
housing
project.
F
That
path
is
proposing
for
fourth
and
younger,
and
so
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
get
the
city
to
focus
on
how
there's
such
an
over
concentration
of
these
facilities
in
certain
areas
and
there's
an
under
concentration
in
other
areas
of
the
city.
And
so
that's
why
our
group
came
together
to
work
on
looking
at
this
issue
and
the
next
slide.
The
next
speaker
will
be.
G
G
Our
first
recommendation
is
to
encourage
economic
and
racial
diversity
by
building
all
types
of
housing
from
the
very
low
income,
supportive
housing
to
market
rate
luxury
in
all
resource
areas,
because
neighborhoods
do
matter
especially
to
school-aged
children.
Higher
resource
areas
are
missing.
The
ethnic
and
economic
diversity
that
enriches
communities
and
lower
resource
areas
are
missing
out
on
the
economic
and
social
vibrancy
that
comes
with
increased
economic
means.
G
Next
slide,
please.
Our
second
recommendation
is
to
support
communities.
This
is
well
aligned
to
the
number
five
research
finding
of
ending
place-based
disparities.
We
need
to
ensure
that
the
mistakes
done
at
donner,
lofts
and
villas
on
the
park
are
avoided
by
building
in
good
neighbor
policies
to
identify
and
mitigate
potential
problems
and
empower
neighborhood
stakeholders
and
future
residents
of
the
housing
so
that
we
move
from
a
crisis
intervention
mode
to
a
cohesive,
thriving
neighborhood.
G
Next
slide,
please.
Our
third
recommendation
aligns
with
the
fourth
research
finding
that
affordable
housing
patterns
have
followed
existing
patterns
of
racial
segregation
and
concentrated
poverty.
We
need
to
address
the
fiscal
solvency
of
lower
resourced
areas
resulting
in
lost
tax
revenue.
This
means
that
services
and
infrastructure
funding
is
lost.
Q
Q
An
example
of
an
existing
neighborhood's
carrying
capacity
was
given
by
lance
shoemaker
of
the
hensley
historic
neighborhood.
Here
we
find
the
entire
array
of
supportive
and
supportive
housing
the
city
developed
over
time,
all
located
in
a
quarter
mile
radius
reaching
a
saturation
point
for
this
neighborhood's
carrying
capacity
at
the
time.
The
city
did
not
monitor
the
concentration
as
facilities
were
proposed
and
sites
approved
and
developed
with
a
set
with
a
siding
plan
policy
that
develops
a
fl.
Q
Q
These
include
services
that
impact
our
existing
community
services
like
police
library,
green
space,
educational,
while
other
services
support
the
residences
in
areas
of
physical
and
mental
health
and
life
skills,
training.
The
success
of
these
facilities
and
its
residents
is
dependent
upon
the
constant
and
continual
funding
of
services,
even
as
budgets
fluctuate.
A
J
J
J
And
the
definition
of
the
term
transit
corridor.
We
think
that
it's
really
important
that
everybody's
on
the
same
page,
it's
defined
as
public
transit
lines
with
service
running
every
15
minutes.
This
is
in
this
is
according
to
the
planning
department
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
map,
the
black
lines
show
the
transit
corridor
grid
running
throughout
the
city
and
the
ten
districts
building
along
the
transit
corridors
should
happen
throughout
the
city,
but
building
should
not
be
constrained
only
to
land
by
transit
corridors.
District.
Nine
is
a
really
good
example
of
this.
J
J
Remember
the
busing
that
we
used
to
do
remember
that
what
a
disaster
that
was
for
the
kids
for
the
schools
for
the
teachers
you
had,
you
had
buses
running
all
over
town,
so
kids
could
go
to
schools
and
you
know
way
far
away
from
their
home,
but
they
were
supposedly
better
supposed
to
make
the
world
you
know
one
again
it
did
not.
This
is
this
kind
of
social
engineering,
sinister
and
dan
you're,
a
dangerous
person
and
the
people
who
just
gave
a
slide
presentation.
J
You
guys
are
also
really
really
sinister.
You
know
it
do
this
is
this
is
a
way
to
drive
down
property
values.
It's
going
to
reduce
it's
going
to
reduce
the
tax
income
once
the
property
values
go
down.
When,
when
you're
going
to
force
this
kind
of
social
engineering,
you
guys
should
really
take
a
second
look
at
yourself.
This
is
this,
is
this:
is
gramsci
gone
wild?
You
know
who
anyone
who
knows
who
gramps
he
is.
J
He
was
an
italian
communist
and
this
is
the
kind
of
stuff
that
he
he
thought
about
about
destroying
a
society
and
that's
exactly
what
you're
gonna
do.
If
you
decide
to
social
engineer
like
this
there's
no
segregation,
people
can
move
to
these
places
if
they
can
afford
them.
I
live
in
a
neighborhood
where
the
where
the
real
estate
values
are
pretty
high
and
we
have
a
multi-racial
multicultural,
multi-religious
place
and
everybody
gets
along,
but
nobody
forced
them
to
move
here.
J
H
Hi,
thank
you.
You
know
this
kind
of
wraps
up
just
like
a
real,
serious
day
of
housing
items.
So
so
thank
you.
I've
been
talking
about
it
for
a
few
weeks
now
getting
prepared
for
it,
and
I'm
amazed.
You
know
I'm
I'm
just
very
shallow
for
this
whole
process
and
it's
been
quite
a
learning
experience
for
myself.
H
B
Yes
good
evening,
thank
you
all,
and,
and
thank
you
for
your
resilience
through
this.
This
list
of
items,
expanding
housing
opportunities
and
access
to
areas
with
opportunities
that
some
have
been
historically
excluded
from
is
both
the
right
thing
to
do,
and
it
is
also
the
law,
since
the
state
of
california
embraced
in
2018
the
unrealized
potential
of
the
fair
housing
act
of
1968
to.
B
B
B
This
is
an
important
body
of
work.
We
cannot
allow
this
policy
to
fall
victim
to
these
challenges
and
slow
the
development
of
critical,
affordable
housing,
because
we
also
know
that
affordable
housing
saves
and
improves
lives.
We
know
that
rent
burden
and
tenuous
housing
and
displacement
and
homelessness
also
have
a
profound
impact
on
health
and
employment
and
educational
outcomes.
B
G
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
ricardo
and
the
council
and
the
housing
department,
and
many
of
the
speakers,
including
matthew,
reed,
thanks
very
much
for
pointing
out
that
this
isn't
just
some
kind
of
social
experiment.
The
city
is
pulling
out
of
thin
air,
it's
the
law
and
I
think
the
city
is
doing
a
really
good
job
trying
to
implement
it.
I
also
appreciated
the
presentation
by
the
community
members
and
something
I
like
to
say
about
low-income
housing.
G
G
You
know
the
problem
is
that
some
apartment
managers
don't
really
care
who's
in
their
buildings
and
what
they're
doing
and
the
city
needs
to
hold
the
management
of
the
affordable
housing
projects
to
a
high
enough
standard
that
they
are
not
have.
They
don't
permit
their
tenants
to
be
a
nuisance
in
the
neighborhood.
G
And
there
are
plenty
of
good
people
who
need
housing.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
who
would
be
bad
neighbors
who
need
housing
and
if
we
don't
have
enough
housing,
I
don't
see
why
managers
can't
give
people
a
chance
and
if
they
turn
out
to
be
poor
tenants.
Well,
then
they
don't
get
to
be
tenants
and
just
try
to
get
better
tenants
in
and
that's
why
certain
projects
are
a
problem
in
the
community.
It's
management.
Q
Yeah
I'd
just
like
to
point
out.
First
of
all,
the
first
guy
that
spoke
was
talking
about
property
values,
dropping
larry
stone.
The
county
tax
assessor
has
on
many
occasions
reported
that
never
in
the
history
of
this
county
for
sure
has
any
property
ever
lost
value
as
a
result
of
any
affordable
housing
project
being
built
in
any
neighborhood.
He
says,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
the
property
values
have
actually
risen
as
a
result
of
an
affordable
housing
project
being
brought
in.
The
other
thing
is
in
the
presentation.
Q
Not
all
people
need
to
have
the
public
transportation
available
to
them,
although
it's
ideal,
because
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
do
is
reduce
our
carbon
footprint.
If
we
can
do
that,
that
would
be
ideal,
but
at
the
same
time
we
have
other
people
like,
for
example,
the
project
that
was
built
down
on
monterey
and
bernal
for
unhoused
people
that
are
now
being
housed.
Many
of
those
people
have
walkers
or
have
other
kind
of
disabilities,
and
there
are
no
ada
accommodations
for
these
people.
Q
I've
driven
by
and
I've
seen
people
with
their
walkers
trying
to
go
upstairs
with
their
walker,
and
it's
really
tragic
to
see
something
like
that.
That
was
implemented
without
any
forethought,
and
I
I
pointed
out
the
same
problem
with
the
trailers
when
they
were
built.
We
need
to
think
better
and
involve
people
that
are
going
to
be
using
these
facilities.
When
we
make
these
decisions-
and
it's
always
been
my.
Q
Q
Q
Thus,
regarding
new
development,
it
should
and
must
be
a
reflection
of
those
that
are
most
needy
in
san
jose.
We
must
be
inclusive
in
new
development
according
to
our
lowest
san
jose
income
levels.
Otherwise,
the
county,
low
income
levels
that
do
not
represent
95116
effectively
locks
the
doors
of
new
responsible,
affording
housing
projects,
affordable
housing
projects
in
the
city
of
san
jose.
G
G
In
order
to
invest
in
existing
communities.
We
cannot.
We
cannot
only
use
affordable
affordability
levels
that
are
solely
based
on
county-wide
median
income
standards,
for
example,
in
the
county.
Median
household
income
is
around
120
000,
but
in
the
zip
code
95116
the
household
median
income
is
around
60
000,
half
the
county
rate
in
95116.
G
We
need
housing
that
is
built
for
the
income
level
of
our
existing
residents.
In
addition
to
affordability,
we
need
to
focus
on
eliminating
inequality
of
resources.
We
need
grocery
stores,
recreation
areas,
cultural
spaces,
good
schools,
to
make
this
a
resource,
rich
area,
so
our
residents
don't
need
to
leave
our
area
for
a
better
quality
of
life.
A
Thank
you
all
right.
I
believe
these
are
all
the
members
of
the
community
came
to
speak
and
appreciate
all
the
input.
I
know
we're
gonna.
This
is
just
the
start
of
a
longer
conversation
about
deciding
affordable
housing
in
our
community,
and
I
think
the
bottom
line
is.
We
need
a
lot
more
of
all
of
it.
I
really
appreciated
ray
bramson's
point,
which
is:
we
can't
allow
this
policy
to
be
an
obstacle
to
building
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
A
The
truth
is,
we
need
more
affordability
everywhere,
but
I
am
certainly
very
familiar
with
the
literature,
raj
chetty
and
others
who
really
demonstrated
how
enabling
particularly
children
from
modest
income
families
to
be
able
to
have
the
opportunity
to
live,
live
in
resource-rich
areas,
particularly
high-performing.
Schools
can
make
all
the
difference.
A
I
guess
I
had
a
question,
though,
about
household
composition
for
lack
of
a
better
word
and
dan
or
rachel
or
jackie.
Whoever
wants
to
answer
this
shouldn't
it
matter
whether
there
are
children
or
not
in
the
household
or
whether
we're
talking
about
seniors
or
working
adults
when
we're
thinking
about
resources,
because
I
think
about
the
resources
that
matter
the
most
and
certainly
high
performing
schools.
What
we'd
all
want
our
children
to
have
access
to
working
adults
who
maybe
don't
have
children?
A
I
would
think
access
to
transit
access
to
job-rich
areas,
and
I
think
about
seniors,
and
it
may
not
be
any
of
those
things
it
may
actually
be
simply.
You
know
to
counter
our
displacement,
that's
happening
in
our
community.
It
may
well
be
in
the
modest
income
or
low-income
communities
in
which
they've
spent
their
whole
lives,
because
that's
where
they
have
relationships
and
other
seniors
and
and
obviously
that
socialization
so
important
and
maybe
nonprofits,
who
that
particularly
serve
seniors
with
limited
income.
A
D
We've
had
some
pretty
detailed
conversations
with
city
staff
about
this
topic
and
since
there's
somewhat
of
an
absence
of
literature
on
specific
populations
like
supportive
housing
and
senior
housing,
we're
going
to
be
doing
our
own
sort
of
supplemental
outreach
to
folks
who
are
expert
in
those
areas
in
order
to
develop
citing
criteria
that
is
specific
to
non-family
populations.
So
that's
something
that
we're
working
on
right
now.
A
A
You
know,
I
think
we
recognize
the
imperative
of
making
sure
there's
affordable
housing
in
many
of
the
the
higher
resource
communities,
but
we
also
know
there's
a
bit
of
a
trade-off
in
different
ways.
For
example,
there's
much
higher
land
costs,
so
we
may
not
be
able
to
build
as
much
housing
with
the
same
dollars.
We
also
know
that
those
same
communities
may
be
more
distant
from
transit,
for
example,
and
so
the
opportunities
for
work
may
be
more
limited.
D
I
I
think
that
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
wait
and
see
is
the
short
answer.
We're
gonna
be
doing
a
lot
of
analysis,
looking
at
just
how
great
some
of
the
disparities
are
in
relation
to
you
know
where
affordable
housing
is
located
where
low-income
people
of
color
live
and
where
opportunity
is
located
according
to
to
the
metrics
that
we
develop
in
partnership
with
city
staff,
and
so
you
know
the
degree
to
which
change
is
needed
is
still
tbd.
D
I
mean
the
community
presentation
painted
part
of
the
picture,
but
there's
a
lot
more
to
come,
so
I
just
wanted
to
preview
that
you
know
I.
I
don't
think
that
this
is
an
exact
science.
There
are
different
ways
to
sort
of
establish
goals,
and
I
offered
a
preview
of
what
some
other
cities
have
done,
which
you
know
struck
us
a
little
as
a
little
bit
blunt,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
more
nuanced
approach
that
the
city
of
san
jose
can
take.
D
You
know,
I
think,
outreach
to
community
members
to
establish
the
degree
to
which
people
want.
Certain
kinds
of
change
will
also
be
important.
So
you
know
there's
a
lot
to
go
that
goes
into
citing
priorities,
and
you
know
it's
your
other
question
about.
You
know
how
important
is
transit,
it
can
be
important,
but
if
there
is
a
safe
neighborhood
with
great
schools
and
other
amenities
that
isn't
necessarily
right
next
to
transit
and
there
are
low-income
families
that
really
want
to
live
there,
that's
a
great
reason
to
build
there.
D
P
Yeah
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you,
jackie,
definitely
and
your
staff.
I
know
I
have
certainly
pressed
you
on
this
issue
and
definitely
hasn't
moved
as
fast
as
I
would
have
liked,
but
I
do
understand
the
delays
and
I
do
appreciate
the
diligence
and
the
progress
that
we
are
seeing
today.
I'm
certainly
excited
about
the
consultant.
I
do
think
they'll
be
able
to
help
us
craft
the
best
siding
policy
specific
for
for
san
jose,
and
I
think
dan.
You
pointed
that
out
in
your
presentation.
P
P
More
equitable
dispersion
of
new,
affordable
housing,
not
only
throughout
san
jose,
but
also
throughout
the
county
and
the
bay
area.
In
my
my
regional
role
on
on
abag-
and
I
think
ray
pointed
it
out-
well
that
we
don't
want
this
policy
to
simply
be
an
obstacle
to
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
P
It
because
we're
not
necessarily
supporting
that
with
supporting
those
with
city
dollars
and
a
number
of
these
projects
are,
are
getting
funding
from
from
other
sources
or
even
just
on
their
own,
privately
funded
and,
and
we
can't
necessarily
utilize
this
policy
widespread,
but
no
doubt
I
think,
where
we
can
use
it
and
certainly
in
city-funded
projects.
I
think
that
is
our
opportunity
to
be
more
conscious
and
and
to
be
able
to
dive
into
these
deciding
or
the
sighting
of
these
projects
deeper.
P
I
think
far
too
often
we'll
see
elected
officials
that
use
just
one
factor
to
help
justify
their
support
or
opposition
for
affordable
housing
such
as
being
near
public
transit
or
even
worse,
things
that
aren't
necessarily
even
in
our
local
control.
Things
like
what's
happening
in
milpitas,
which
would
be
first
requiring
new
schools.
P
I
think
that
that
that
we
see
happen
far
too
often
and
that
we
should
be
looking
at
the
multitude
of
of
the
different
challenges
and-
and
I
know
that
that's
part
of
the
focus
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
come
back.
I
know
for
myself
specifically
growing
up
in
affordable
housing
in
a
a
four
plex
of
rent
control
for
plaques
over
in
district
one
one
of
the
few
areas
next
to
a
san
jose,
gardens,
low
income
apartment
complex
and
yet
just
a
couple
blocks
away
from
single-family
housing.
P
That
was
with
higher
income
community
members,
and
I
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
cupertino
high
school,
a
high
performing,
not
only
school
but
also
just
a
school
district,
and-
and
I
grew
up
with
there
were
six
of
us.
Close
friends
and
two
of
us
grew
up
in
affordable
housing
and
two
grew
up
in
unstable
home
settings.
Kind
of
bouncing
back
and
forth
from
their
separate
parents
or
grandparents,
and
two
of
them
grew
up
in
in
stable
homes.
P
One
was
in
jail,
and
three
of
us
did
graduate
me
and
the
two
who
grew
up
in
the
stable
single-family
homes
and-
and
I
no
doubt
know
that
the
the
opportunities
that
I
had
being
able
to
be
in
that
environment,
albeit
in
a
hardworking
immigrant
family,
as
as
I
was,
and
and
and
living
fortunately
being
stable
because
of
rent
control
and
not
having
to
move
but
being
able
to
be
in
a
school
district.
Like
that.
I
had
many
more
opportunities
than
I
would
have
had
and
that
I
saw
my
own
family
members.
P
If
they're
they're
funding
this
project
on
their
own
and
they
wish
to
do.
Affordable
housing
well,
they're
very
well
going
to
going
to
be
able
to
go
forward
and
do
that,
but
where
we
do
have
an
opportunity
when
it
is
our
funding
getting
into
a
project.
That's
where
I
think
we
we
have
to
be
truly
conscious
and
and
avoid
creating
communities
that
won't
even
potentially
sustain
the
investment
of
even
a
mixed
income
type
of
development,
thus
creating
these
perpetual,
low-income
and
under-resourced
communities.
P
And-
and
so
I
think,
that's
for
me
where
I.
I
really
hope
that
this
citing
policy
helps
us
to
more
equitably
disperse
the
affordable
housing
not
again
to
to
to
be
any
more
of
of
an
obstacle,
but
but
to
be
able
to
help
us
get
even
more
affordable
housing
built
and
to
help
it
be
dispersed
throughout
the
city
more
equitably.
P
My
last
question
for
staff,
and
or
maybe
the
consultant,
but
it
would
be
a
community
member's
presentation
listed
off
some
recommendations.
Is
that
something
that
the
consultant
or
staff
are
going
to
be
able
to
to
look
at
and
then
respond
to
at
least
respond
to
the
the
community
members
to
be
able
to
to
give
an
indication
of
whether
or
not
those
are
recommendations
that
will
be
explored
or
if
they
can't,
then
why
or
what
that
might
look
like.
C
K
A
A
K
B
Good
evening,
folks
and
mayor,
thank
you
for
fitting
us
back
in
here
at
the
last
minute,
appreciate
it
jaime
alvarado,
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
mayfair
neighborhood
and
also
a
member
of
the
element
urban
village
advocates,
so
we're
the
sighting
policy
is
super
important
to
us.
We're
also
super
aware
and
frankly
afraid,
of
the
massive
displacement
that
really
has
already
started
out
here
and
will
soon
overwhelm
us
and
that
displacement
would
be
based
on
a
new
modern
form
of
redlining.
B
So
the
old
red
lighting
prevented
specific
communities
from
buying
homes.
This
modern
form
of
redlining
creates
bubbles
of
new
housing
that
excludes
existing
residents,
in
particular,
low-income
and
immigrant
families
or
people
who
want
to
actually
purchase
their
own
homes
and
so
and
those
those
those
little
bubbles
of
new
housing
are
really
not
going
to
be
available
to
those
of
us
who
are
or
most
of
the
people
who
are
living
out
here
already
and
frankly,
the
city's
policies
current
policy
shepherd
in
this
new
redlining.
B
We
know
that
in
the
allen
rock
urban
village
in
the
next
three
to
12
months,
there's
going
to
be
projects
that
will
be
approved
and
if
this
new
redlining
is
not
addressed,
massive
displacement
on
an
unprecedented
scale
will
follow
those
approvals
and
last
we're
also
very
aware
that
we're
paying
the
price
for
the
passage
of
the
form-based
zoning
rules
that
exist
only
in
east
side,
san
jose
and
only
in
this
one
stretch
of
eastside.
Even
beware:
the
negative
consequences
to
low
income,
people
that
this
policy
will
have
and
that
the
council
previously
approved.
J
J
R
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
the
community
members
that
came
and
spoke
on
on
on
this
item,
in
particular
the
presentation
that
that
each
one
of
you
was
able
to
give
as
a
whole
was
excellent
and
it-
and
it
touched
on
a
lot
of
the
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about,
but
you
did
a
much
better
job
then
than
I
could
have
at
this
point.
So
I
want
to.
R
I
want
to
thank
you
and-
and
I
just
want,
I
want
to
make
it
very
brief,
because
I
think
council
member
perales
hit
on
all
the
points
also
that
I
wanted
to
speak
on,
which
is
the
opportunities
that
that
folks
have
or
that
they
don't
have
and
suddenly
are
given.
If
there
are
housing
opportunities
for
these
families
in
in
those
neighborhoods
that
are
rich
with
amenities,
they
have
other
opportunities.
R
R
And
that
really
stuck
with
me,
because
it
was
one
of
the
first
conversations
that
I
had
coming
on
board
almost
six
years
ago
and
has
always
stuck
with
me,
and
I
think
that
there
is
a
fine
balance,
there's
a
fine
balance
between
those
neighborhoods
that
are
being
displaced
and
gentrified
and
east
san
jose
is
definitely
one
of
them,
and
we've
worked
on
on
on
this
study
and
policy
and
have
gone
through
different
cities,
along
with
jackie
and
some
of
my
staff
to
see
what
are
the
best
practices.
What
can
we
do?
R
R
I
do
you
know
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we,
we
disperse
our
housing
units
throughout
the
city
and
that
we
do
so
in
those
neighborhoods
that
have
so
much
to
offer
that
we
don't
have
to
go
in
there
and
and
build
up
an
infrastructure.
It's
already
there,
and
you
know
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
political
will,
because
we've
heard
even
some
of
the
callers
that
call
in
who
think
that
this
is.
You
know
the
devil's
work.
R
I
don't
know
exactly
how
it
was
phrased,
but
cynical
or
or
whatever,
and-
and
it's
just
really
you
know
it.
It
goes
to
show
you
that
we
just
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
political
power.
People
are
afraid
of
change,
people
are
afraid
of
their
communities
being
impacted
and
they're.
Then
they're,
unaware
of
the
beauty
of
diversity
and
the
resilience
and
the
strength
that
comes
from
having
a
diverse
neighborhood.
R
And
so
you
know
I
just
want
to
ask
jackie.
You
know
in
coming
back.
You
know
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thinking
and
and
looking
under
every
every
rock
and
beating
every
bush
and
really
looking
at
different
sites
that
are
not
just
you
know,
someone
said
not
just
corridor
transit
oriented
because
a
lot
of
folks
have
their
own
car.
R
My
concern
when
we
think
of
just
a
transit
oriented
corridor,
I
think
of
a
of
a
bus
line
and
and
a
couple
of
lines
that
were
cut
from
amaden
valley
through
the
city
of
san
jose
and
and
the
thinking
was
well
there's
not
enough
ridership,
it's
a
very
expensive
line,
and
so
what
comes?
First,
the
chicken
or
the
egg?
Do
we
put
in
the
the
transit
corridor
first
or
do
we
create
a
population?
R
C
C
R
Yeah,
so
I
have
a
question
to
ask,
because
I
know
that
in
some
cases
in
some
districts
we've
seen
that
some
of
the
school
districts
are
interested
in
selling
off,
if
not
all,
of
their
property,
but
some
other
property
they're,
okay,
with
building
something
you
know
at
the
periphery
of
their
of
their
real
estate.
Will
you
be
looking
into
those
kind
of
possibilities
as
well?
K
Thank
you
mayor,
you
know
listening,
you
know
all
the
times
that
we've
discussed
the
citing
policy
previously
known
as
the
dispersion
policy.
It's
gonna
over
a
bit
of
a
name
change.
It's
taken
on,
I
think
of
particular
importance
in
2020
during
covid,
because
the
reality
is
what
a
lot
of
community
organizations
and
particular
health
organizations
have
been
saying
for
years-
is
that
the
biggest
health
determinant
for
a
person
is
their
zip
code
and
and
we're
seeing
that
now
with
cobit.
K
And
I
wanted
to
point
out
when
dan
brought
up
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
research
has
been
done
with
children.
That's
because
of
school
districts
and
funding
is
an
issue
for
a
lot
of
low-income
neighborhoods,
and
I
bring
this
up
because
it
impacts
district
7
district
7
is
the
most
imbalanced
council
district
in
the
city.
We
have
the
highest
number
of
eli
households,
the
least
number
of
market
rate
households,
and
we
see
that
imbalance
play
out
in
neighborhoods
in
my
district
in
multiple
ways.
K
One
of
which
is
how
schools
are
funded,
and
so
I
would
urge
that
we
don't
just
look
wholesale
at
families
go
here
and
singles
go
there,
that
we
really
try
and
and
ensure
that
there
are
access
to
opportunities
throughout
the
city,
and
I
know
that
different
cities
are
trying
to
address
this
issue.
Albuquerque.
K
Segregation
in
our
city
and
the
other
part
of
it
is
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
when
my
colleagues,
council,
members,
jimenez
perales
carrasco
arenas
and
myself
brought
forward
an
equity,
an
idea
around
equity
that
the
this
is.
What
we're
talking
about
tonight
is
only
half
of
the
equation.
The
other
half
is
to
lift
up
neighborhoods
right,
it's
to
lift
them
up
and
invest
in
neighborhoods
in
our
city
to
bring
in
resources
and
services
to
make
every
neighborhood
in
our
city
resource
rich.
K
K
F
A
O
O
And
so
I
think,
there's
some
great
examples.
I
think
in
cream
cambrian
that
we've
seen
before
us
and
in
campbell
projects
that
we've
approved
that
involved
school
districts
and-
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
you
know
my
district
as
well.
It
does
very
fairs
very
poorly
in
some
of
the
presentations
that
I
saw.
O
I
don't
know
if
it
was
stand,
your
presentation
in
terms
of
of
how
many
affordable
housing
units
we
have
in
district
8,
and
I
think
it
was,
I
think
it
was
zero,
and
so
that
is,
I
think
you
might
be.
Checking
dan.
Please
fact
check
me.
I
would
love
to
to
not
be
that
ashamed
of
not
having
affordable
housing
opportunities,
but
I
know
that
our
our
communities
do
what
they
need
to
do
in
order
to
stay
in
the
area,
and
that
is
to
overcrowd.
O
So
you
have
multiple
families
living
in
one
in
one
single
family,
detached
home,
and
so
some
of
my
neighbor
I
mean
some
of
my
neighborhoods,
even
though
they
might
not
have
multi-housing
in
that
particular
area.
It
almost
behaves
like
these
single
detached
homes,
almost
behave
like
apartment
units
because
there's
at
least
four
three
to
four
families
in
one
home
and
so
the
the
issues
with
overcrowding
impact
the
single
detached
family
homes.
O
O
O
You
know
9,
30
and
all
day
and
waiting
for
an
opportunity
to
speak,
and
so
I
really
am
going
to
rely
on
on
you
and
dan
to
to
reach
out
to
those
hardest
hardest
to
reach
population
so
that
we
can
get
their
perspectives
because
it
would
just
be
a
terrible,
terrible
thing
to
go
through
this
process
that
is
intended
to
desegregate
folks
and
and
then
we
leave
them
out
of
the
conversation,
the
same
communities
that
we
want
to
have
mixed
income
communities
in.
So
that
is.
That
is
my
suggestion.
O
D
O
The
fact
is
that
we're
trying
to
undo
policies
that
have
been
that
have
been
transpiring
for
many
many
years,
and
I
know
in
I
think
in
1988
it
was
who
had
actually
made
the
recommendation
for
for
the
department
of
housing
to
even
exist,
and
so
it's
it's
come
a
long
way
we're
definitely
using
all
the
tools
that
are
necessary
to
keep
our
families
here
and
keep
them
stable.
And
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
this
looks
like.
Please.
O
S
Yeah
thanks
mayor,
I
was
listening
to
jackie's
introduction
to
the
item
and
her
story
about
her
family
and
college,
and
all
that
reminded
me
of
my
own
experience.
You
know
I
my
parents
were
refugees
and-
and
I
was
the
first
in
my
family-
to
do
a
lot
of
things-
often
learning
through
observation
or
learning
for
myself
and
just
kind
of
mimicking
what
I
saw,
but
never
quite
getting
the
full
mentoring
from
beginning
to
end.
S
When
I
applied
for
college,
I
spent
hours,
if
not
days
or
weeks
as
a
high
school
senior
looking
at
graduate
programs
because
on
the
web
college
websites,
you
had
the
option
of
applying
for
undergraduates
or
graduate
degrees,
and
I'm
thinking
to
myself.
Well,
I'm
about
to
graduate
from
col
or
from
high
school.
I'm
looking
at
graduate
degrees,
not
really
understanding
what
undergraduate
meant
and
that's
just
an
example
of
the
sort
of
things
that
you
know
fall
through
the
cracks
or
people
miss.
S
And
so
I
I
support
the
the
what
we're
doing
here
and
I
agree
mixed
income
communities
are
important
even
as
a
kid
I
remember
going
around
town
with
my
parents
once
a
year.
She
had
a
co-worker
we'd,
go
to
his
house
for
christmas
once
a
year
and
yeah
anyways.
He
had
nicer
things
that
we
had
so
anyways,
but
my
question
really
goes
to
the
the
strength
that
sometimes
communities
have
when
they
congregate
together.
S
So
I'm
talking
about
like
ethnic
enclaves
and
such
I
understand
that
when
we
we
have
mixed
income
communities
and
people
learn
and
they
are
exposed
to
new
ideas
and
there's
there's
growth
to
that.
I'm
I'm
asking
about
the
the
the
instance
where
there
is
a
wave
of
refugees
or
certain
communities
to
insular,
and
they
are
speaking
a
certain
language.
I
find
I
feel,
sometimes
that
there
is
strength
in
that,
because
you
have
people
that
look
like
you
speak
your
language.
It
helps
with
with
child
care.
S
You
can
you
don't
mind
letting
your
kid
run
around
the
halls,
because
the
people
down
you
know
a
few
units
over
you're
all
kind
of
familiar
with
yourselves.
How
will
this
dilute
that?
Or
how
do
we
kind
of
help
preserve
that
that
strength
among
communities
as
as
we're
trying
to
spread
out
them
out
throughout
the
city.
D
S
Okay,
that's
that's
fine!
I
I
had
no
follow-up.
I
just.
I
just
think
it's
something
to
consider.
I
I
fully
realize
what
the
council
is
trying
to
do.
I
I
just
want
to
present
one
aspect
of
it
I
think
is:
is
not
an
ideal
but
a
positive
when
you're
new
to
an
area
when,
when
you're,
already
low
income
and-
and
you
can't
afford
daycare-
and
you
can't
afford
you
know,
nannies
and
and
all
that
what's
helpful,
sometimes
is
just
having
people
who
you
trust.
S
Are
you
familiar
with
extended
family
and
just
taking
care
of
each
other's
kids
and
feeding
each
other's
kids
and
letting
you,
you
know,
go
to
work
the
night
shift
and
then
so
on
and
so
forth?
And
that's
not
the
the
case
for
everybody
not
the
case
for
every
low-income
community,
but
but
it
often
is
for
new
americans,
and
I
just
want
us
to
be
cognizant
of
that
and
that's
all
I'll
yield.
A
F
A
Thank
you
all
right,
so
the
housing
palooza
is
now
complete.
Thank
you
to
our
housing
team,
our
very
busy,
hard-working
and
tired
housing
team.
So
thank
you.
You
can
all
go
back
to
sleep.
We
are
we're
not
back
to
sleep.
I
think
you
can
get
sleep
now
for
the
first
time,
probably
in
a
few
days
we'll
go
now
to
the
public,
the
person
with
the
phone
number
ending
five
one
four
zero
and
we're
now
speaking
on
open
on
public
comment.
Q
Yeah,
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
tend
to
forget
is
that
there
are
lost
opportunities,
because
what
started
this
valley
a
long
long
time
ago,
were
the
orchards
where
people
were
able
to
work
either
work
in
the
orchards
or
in
the
drying
sheds
and
then
technology
came
in
and
we
had.
Companies
like
intel
and
a
bunch
of
other
electronic
companies
and
their
people
were
able
to
work
in
those
factories.
Q
The
canneries.
I
forgot
about
the
tanneries
that
too
a
lot
of
different
types
of
jobs
that
were
available
for
a
lot
of
different
people
and
we
have
a
different
situation
now,
where
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
those
kinds
of
jobs.
We
don't
have
those
kind
of
opportunities,
and
so
there
there's
a
real
struggle
for
people
to
be
able
to
make
it
with
whatever
they
can
do.
Q
And
you
know
I'm
certainly
grateful
that
the
minimum
wage
has
been
raised
to
15
and
whatever
cents
per
hour,
which
is
is
really
progressive,
and
I
think
that's
really
great
that
that
we
have
decided
to
do
that.
But
we
also
don't
have
the
jobs
that
we
need
and
the
kinds
of
jobs
that
we
need
and-
and
part
of
that
is-
is
not
really
the
fault
of
san
jose.
It's
just
that
manufacturers
have
decided
to
move
away
and
there's
really
little
to
none
available.
Q
H
All
right,
thank
you,
hope
I
can
finish
this.
I
have
a
little
speech.
I
hope
the
svo
situation
has
plight
with
politely
reminded
ourselves
that
in
san
jose
we
take
political,
correct,
political
correctness
way
too
seriously.
Sometimes
in
san
jose,
we
seem
to
fall
into
a
peculiar
habit.
To
somehow
say
we
are
more
real
and
culturally
hip
for
applying
breaks
and
then
saying
no
to
a
language
of
more
creative
problem-solving
ideas
of
our
society.
H
H
Meanwhile,
it
is
the
ideas
of
defund
demilitarization,
reform,
restructuring,
ideas
of
equity
and
reimagination
that
has
brought
us
peace
instead
of
rioting
to
the
entire
bay
area
this
past
summer.
It
can
simply
offer
good
examples
of
how
to
compromise
with
an
upcoming
biden,
democratic
party
administration
and
work
work
towards
our
important
long-term
societal
goals
as
local
communities
and
as
a
country,
we
have
all
done
much
work
to
prove
that
a
police
department
still
has
a
place
within
a
community
at
this
time
is
from
this
place.
H
That
should
allow
us
to
consider
the
many
ideas
and
choices
of
reimagine,
and
that,
among
other
things,
is
a
term
meant
to
question
the
future
of
the
prison
military-industrial
complex
and
its
technology,
surveillance
and
data
collection.
To
simply
question
these
institutions
should
be
the
ideas
should
be
ideas
of
interest
to
most
people.
H
J
All
right,
can
you
hear
me
now?
I
won't
address
anybody
directly.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
this
sort
of
social
engineering
is
sinister.
It's
not
cynical.
It's
sinister
and
right
away.
People
also
become
worried
about
their
ethnic
neighborhoods,
not
being
so
ethnic.
If
they're
going
to
be
forced
to
move
someplace
else
or
have,
I
guess
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
but
you
cannot
force
this
sort
of
social
engineering,
it
doesn't
work.
People
come
together,
organically
people
want
to
people
are
able
to
foster
relationships
without
being
forced
by
the
government.
J
Just
ask
what
they
try
to
do
in
chicago
many
decades
ago.
It's
chicago's
the
most
segregated
city
in
the
nation
and
has
the
politics
that
the
city
council
loves,
which
is
as
left-wing
as
possible,
but
everything
is
segregated
there,
because
the
people
like
it
that
way
right.
You
live
in
your
own
ethnic
neighborhood
and
that's
what
makes
chicago
so
cool
and
I
know
it
makes
people
on
the
left
coast
cringe.
But
I
mean
that's
where
that's
where
you
know:
obama
came
from
man,
I
mean
chicago
that
is
supposedly
his
hometown
and
take
a
look.
J
You
know
I
mean
it's
a
democrat
machine.
You
guys
will
be
better
off
if
you
didn't
have
social
engineering
you'd
be
able
to
have
a
stronger
democrat
machine
and
that's
what
democrat
politics
are
all
about,
we're
witnessing
it
right
now,
you're
witnessing
it
with
the
city,
council
and
the
and
the
state
and
the
county
and
the
city.
It's
all
democrats,
you
guys
have
you
guys,
have
the
machine
keep
it
that
way?
If
you
start,
if
you
start
for
social
engineering,
I
think
you're
gonna
see
your
machine
fall
apart.
