From: Henry A. Alvarez III, Executive Director Re:

Responses to Public Comment at Commission Meeting on March 22, 2012

Public Comment Regarding Tenants’ Associations: Commenter Carol Flowra, President of the Tenant Association Board at 491 31st Avenue indicated that she would like to see that Ms. Raimey be allowed to continue working with the tenants in the building because Ms. Raimey has forged excellent rapport with them when she was President of CCSD. In addition, Commenter, Paul Currier, also spoke regarding Tenant Elections. He stated that there have been many complaints about the Tenants’ Association (TA), including lack of proper prior notification, lack of communication generally, and speculated that perhaps financing the CCSD endeavor is questionable. Staff Response: On an ongoing basis, the Office of the General Council has overseen the legal requirements and logistics to execute a fair election for the Tenants’ Association. The Housing Authority investigates promptly any allegation of misconduct related to tenant association elections. Tenant associations are also advised to contact Ms. Pamela Palpallatoc as she is responsible for the overall operations of the Tenants’ Associations and liaises on behalf of Mr. Larsen, General Council. Public Comment Regarding Park Merced: Commenter Helani Ting indicated that she is concerned that Park Merced Property Management and Park Merced Owners are targeting low income tenants for eviction due to an upcoming redevelopment of the property. She also stated that she thinks excellent progress has been made by the SFHA management related to these aforementioned issues.

Commenter Lynn, resident of Park Merced inquired as to when the public might be able to review information/documents related to Park Merced. How will members of the public be informed and able to review associated documents and information? Staff Response: Management of the Authority met with Park Merced Management on Tuesday, March 6, 2012 and again on Friday, March 16, 2012 to review Ms. Ting’s file. In the meantime, Ms. Ting is in no danger of an eviction and has a rent credit of $7,618. Park Merced denies that their redevelopment will result in the eviction of any Section 8 recipient in good standing. Lynn, however, is in the process of being evicted from Park Merced for failure to pay her utilities. The Housing Authority provides Lynn with a utility allowance, so it does not cost her anything to pay her utilities; she just needs to pass on the allowance to Park Merced, which she has failed to do. Public Comment Regarding Resident Advisory Board (RAB) Meetings: Commenter Uzuri Green, secretary of the Public Housing Tenants Association, (PHTA), indicated that the Resident Advisory Board Meetings (RAB that she has attended are very informative. She inquired as to whether or not various Community Based Organizations, (CBO’s) and other stakeholders are invited to participate in the RAB process. Staff Response: SFHA Management welcomes participation in the RAB process by CBO’s, other relevant stakeholders, and appropriate external audiences that would enhance the RAB meetings. Immediately after the Commission Meeting, SFHA Management contacted Ms. Green and asked her to provide suggestions on potential stakeholders that can participate in upcoming RAB meetings.

Memo To:

Henry Alvarez

From: Roger Crawford Date:

4/6/2012

Re:

Report on Healani Ting (Section 8 Recipient at Park Merced)

Issue Ms. Healani Ting, a resident at Park Merced and a Section 8 recipient, has attended recent Housing Authority commission meetings to complain that she was being charged too much in rent by Park Merced. Ms. Ting believes that she is being charged too much in rent because she is part of a group that has been vocal against Park Merced’s redevelopment plans. In particular, Ms. Ting believes that she is being charged too much in rent so that Park Merced can evict her if she does not pay. Ms. Ting further believes that Park Merced would like to remove and replace her with a tenant capable of paying higher rent when the redevelopment is complete. I was assigned to look into this issue. Background On January 26, 2012: Park Merced sent a letter to both the Housing Authority and Ms. Ting regarding Ms. Ting’s rent. According to the letter sent to the Housing Authority, Park Merced was indeed charging Ms. Ting too much rent in error. Ms. Ting was improperly charged this amount for approximately one year. Ms. Ting’s rent was therefore adjusted down from $1,308 per month to $229. $229 is the amount Ms. Ting should pay. On February 3, 2012: I met with management at Park Merced to discuss Ms. Ting. According to management, Ms. Ting’s rent was adjusted retroactively. As Ms. Ting was actually paying the $1308 per month for over twelve months, this left her with a credit in her account of $7,618.

I sent a letter to Ms. Ting to inform her that her rent was being adjusted and I invited her to contact me if needed. Recent Developments March 6, 2012: I met with Ms. Ting to discuss her rent credit. Ms. Ting insisted that the amount of the credit in her account was too low and that Park Merced owed her more money. Ms. Ting attempted to produce documentation to support her claims, but was unable to do so during this meeting. March 16, 2012: As a further accommodation to Ms. Ting, I again met with Park Merced management regarding the rent credit in her account. Christina Zsolnay, an accountant for Park Merced, was able to provide me with a detailed accounting that supports Ms. Ting is owed only $7,618. April 4, 2012: I again met with Ms. Ting. I let her know that Park Merced has detailed documents supporting the amount of her rent credit. Ms. Ting believes that her rent credit should be approximately $13,000. I let Ms. Ting know that she must provide documentation to support her claim. We ended the meeting with Ms. Ting once again agreeing to search for any records she has that support that she is owed $13,000, not $7,618. If Ms. Ting is able to produce records that support she is owed $13,000, I will refer her back Park Merced for the issue to be resolved.

B. Action Items 2. [Informational Presentation: Public Housing Annual Plan Process.] Presented by: Linda Martin-Mason, Ombudsman, Office of the Ombudsman and Communication

Linda Martin-Mason presented a Power Point Presentation explaining the annual plan process. Commissioner Saez asked Ms. Martin-Mason to list the stakeholders that would be included under community advocates as well as the City departments and how does that differ from the community based organization. Ms. Martin-Mason provided examples of organizations that have been contacted in addition to the differences between the various partners. Commissioner Safai asked what was done differently with the City-Wide Council for the tenants from previous years. Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that in the past for both the Public Housing and Section 8 whoever wanted to attend RAB meetings were the RAB. However, HUD recommends that if the PHA has a jurisdiction-wide council, the council should be the RAB, which is what was done for the 2012 RAB. Commissioner Safai asked why weren’t any of the RAB locations in the South-East side of San Francisco where the majority of the Housing Authority residents reside. Mrs. Martin-Mason replied that it was not intentional and that will be considered in the future. Commissioner Safai asked if there were any complaints received regarding locations of meetings. Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that they have not received any complaints regarding location. President Rev. Amos Brown asked why the various locations weren’t considered.

Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that in considering past complaints and suggestions, the primary complaint was noise, never location. Thus, this year, the meetings were scheduled to be in the same vicinity with different location that may be quieter. Further, Mrs. Martin-Mason offered to update the schedule to include another site. Commissioner Schwartz recommended that potential strategies for Hope SF sites be included in the Annual Plan Process with sufficient time to provide for public comment. Mr. Alvarez explained how everything is accessible through the Housing Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new and improved website @ www.sfha.org. Mr. Alvarez also commended the Ombudsman staff for the improvements made to the website. Commissioner Allen asked if the RAB meetings have been well attended. Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that they have been well attended Commissioner Allen complimented the website and asked if there is heavy traffic. Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that she was only aware of the facebook traffic, which is linked to the website and that the facebook page had 611 hits in the past 7 days. Commissioner Hunnicutt stated that the website looks beautiful and asked about Housing Choice Voucher Program RAB application process in the past versus this year. Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that in previous years, only the RAB from the year prior was invited to attend. In 2012 an invitation to apply for the RAB was sent to all Housing Choice Voucher Participants. The SFHA received 300 responses and randomly selected 30 of the 300. Commissioner Safai requested that the recommendations pertaining to preferences be brought to the board before being finalized. Public comment: Commenter, Uzuri Green secretary of the PHTA, stated that she is learning a lot from the RAB meetings. Ms. Green suggested the following for different locations of the RAB meetings: Bayview: The Opera House, Potreo Hill: Neighborhood House, Sunnydale: Boys & Girls Club. Ms. Green asked if there were any local stakeholders such as the family Resource Center, The Neighborhood House, Salvation Army, and Shiloh involved in the process. Commenter, Lynn, resident at Park Merced asked when will the public be able to review the proposals before they become final and how will that be disseminated in terms to their response. Lynn also invited Mrs. Martin-Mason to visit Park Merced.

3. [Resolution Authorizing the Executive Director to enter into a Construction Contract with Nicoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Work Inc. for Fire Damage Restoration Services Phase II at 350 Ellis Housing Development in an mount not to exceed $408,899 to be reimbursed with property insurance proceeds.] Presented by: James Mark, Senior Project Manager Housing Development & Modernization Department

Commissioner Saez asked who completed the first Phase of this work Mr. Mark responded Ideal Restoration Services Inc. provided $25,000 worth of dehumidifying abatement and cutting out the mold. Commissioner Saez asked what was looked at differently between Transworld and Nicoleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Work Inc. Mr. Mark responded that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual to get scattered bids and construction companies factors this in if the company really needs the work when their bids are lower and want to keep workers busy in this economy. Commissioner Safai asked what controls are in place in the bid to insure that the Board will not be asked to approve a range of change orders to meet the true value of what the project is to this contractor. Mr. Mark responded that the bid amount is the construction amount which is usually enforced and not changed because change orders delay projects. Barbara Smith added that the SFHA conducts an independent cost estimate before the projects are put out to bid and this bid is consistent with the independent cost estimate of $450,000. Commissioner Schwartz asked if this was a Lump Sum contract? Mr. Mark replied that it is a Lump Sum contract. Commissioner Allen asked if this will allow resident hiring. Mr. Mark replied yes.

Commissioners Comments Commissioner Allen suggested the Alex Pitcher room in the South East City College Campus for RAB meetings. Commissioner Saez asked if there would be any time to review the process for summer programs.

Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that the SFHA is submitting applications to DCYF for all summer lunch programs allowing DCYF to select which sites will host summer lunch. The Secretary explained that during the budget cuts summer programming was excluded from the budget except for Park and Rec Summer Youth Activities Mrs. Martin-Mason responded that she and Kyle Peterson have been working with Park &Rec to figure out the best outreach to residents and in the next 30 days should have further enrollment information. The Secretary introduced Kyle Peterson as the returning Government liaison. Commissioner Safai asked for report on recycling efforts at all of the developments and whether there are any recycling programs with tenant involvement. Commissioner Safai commented that he attended the Good Jobs Green Jobs Conference in L.A. there were many job opportunities as well as opportunities to build social equity, career path development and energy conservation. Commissioner Safai requested that staff provide him with the number of evictions in Park Merced to date. Commissioner Safai asked the Secretary to invite Olsen lee from the Mayor’s Office of Housing to discuss which nonprofits are proposing CDBG grants that intend to serve directly or indirectly Public Housing residents. Residents want to hear directly from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and the Mayor’s Office of Redevelopment on what nonprofits are being funded to provide employment opportunities to residents. Commissioner Schwartz commended staff for the website and asked if there will be a waitlist shown on the site and will people be able to apply for Housing online. Secretary Alvarez responded that all responses to commissioner Schwartz’ questions will be reported the second week of April Item 8:

Informational Presentation on CDBG Including HOPE SF Investments

Presented by:

Kyle Pedersen, Governmental Affairs Officer

Funding Recommendations

SUMMARY: In response to the Commission’s request, the Mayor’s Office of Housing has provided the agency’s 2012-13 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding recommendations (attached). In partnership with the diverse communities of San Francisco, the Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) strives to strengthen the social, physical and economic infrastructure for San Francisco’s low-income residents and communities in need. Through CDBG funding, MOH is bringing together priority strategies and initiatives throughout the City that impact communities in need and has a specific focus on HOPE SF, which is a partnership with the S.F. Housing Authority to rebuild select public housing sites, increase affordable housing and ownership opportunities, and improve the quality of life for existing residents and the neighboring communities.

A copy of any attached documents are available at the clerk’s desk. DEPARTMENT’S REQUESTED ACTION: None. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S RECOMMENDATION: None. Agenda Item No. 1 Date: April 12, 2012 27

Creating opportunity for socially and economically isolated San Franciscans requires a multifaceted and comprehensive approach. San Francisco has determined that the optimum way to address the City’s priority challenges is to work towards a set of five interconnected, multidisciplinary goals that cross program areas and utilize leveraged strategies both internally and across multiple City departments. Funding for these strategies will be coordinated across City departments, so that HUD funds can be maximized in those areas that are both of highest priority to MOH/OEWD and where HUD funds can provide the maximum benefit in terms of unmet needs and scarce resources. These five goals are: Goal 1: Families and individuals are healthy and economically self-sufficient Goal 2: Neighborhoods and communities are strong, vibrant and stable Goal 3: Formerly homeless individuals and families are stable, supported and live in long-term housing Goal 4: Families and individuals have safe, healthy and affordable housing Goal 5: Public housing developments that were severely distressed are thriving mixed-income communities The City has also identified vulnerable populations that are at special risk for being multiply affected by the social and economic problems that are facing San Francisco. These groups include:  Seniors;  Persons with disabilities;  Persons with HIV/AIDS;  Disconnected transitional age youth;  Victims/survivors of violence and family violence;  Re-entry population;  Public housing residents; and  Disconnected LGBT individuals. Services and strategies must accordingly be designed to address the unique needs and concerns of these populations in order to maximize their effectiveness.

SFHA-DPW MOU April 12, 2012 Page 2

BACKGROUND Historically, the five largest SFHA family public housing sites (Alice Griffith, Hunters View, Westbrook, Potrero Terrace & Annex, and Sunnydale) have been negatively impacted by elevated trash levels throughout the course of the weekend. The increased levels of trash are due to several impacting factors. First, resident populations are higher during the weekend as residents are not at work, school, and other weekly activities. Second, resident activities and celebrations occur most often during weekends creating an increased influx of trash. Lastly, illegal dumping is most likely to occur at SFHA sites when SFHA staff are not on-site, which would be nights and weekends. While trash rates increase during the weekend, SFHA does not have assigned weekend landscaping and trash staff assigned to respond to and offset high trash rates. By not having a weekend staffing schedule that would be able to respond to the high weekend trash rates, the properties become challenged with overflowing and spilling trash bins, windblown trash throughout the properties, and unsatisfactory landscaping conditions for SFHA properties. To respond to the ongoing concern related to weekend trash levels at SFHA sites, DPW will be expanding the existing 7501 Apprenticeship Program to provide landscaping and trash service Thursday through Monday at five SFHA sites; Alice Griffith, Hunters View, Westbrook, Potrero Terrace & Annex, and Sunnydale. The apprenticeship program will create six full-time benefitted employment positions for SFHA residents that will pay $14.28 per hour. DPW will provide a Packer and a Lumper on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) to go to the SFHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing developments and pick up trash and other items that are on the streets. DPW will also provide a supervisor to supervise the work of six housing authority residents, to be employed by DPW, to pick up trash from beautification projects and perform general labor work at SFHAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developments Thursday through Monday (including weekends) on a weekly basis. The employees will begin as Apprentices and end up graduating as Journeymen at the end of the two-year apprenticeship.
