, we need poor folks housing, poor people housing, housing that the people can afford to pay for, instead of all of this what's going on now. i've never seen san francisco just neglect the senior and disability population the way they have been neglected now, and everybody ought to be ashamed of themselves for it getting like it is right now. we need some affordable housing that these people can pay for, not to go through whatever else they have to go through to try and get somewhere to stay, and if it isn't affordable, there's a bunch of housing for seniors that will be homeless. that is what will happen here. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i live in san francisco. i've been in this city for nearly 40 years, it is my home. i am a senior, and the one thing i have not heard about here yet is people with h.i.v. i've been living with that virus for damn near 40 years now, and even, though i do have housing right now, i worry about my future, i worry about what might happen to me if i can't maintain my housing, take care of my dog, do the things

on the availability of housing. the construction of housing. we have more and more people chasing less and less available housing and that of course drives prices up. you represent areas like raleigh, chapel hill, carrie, what's the situation there compared others? guest: i would say that in my district of the main issue is affordable housing, with transportation. of course, the two are related, but in the municipal elections it's all about affording housing . and that is a problem that comes with development, with growth. we have healthy growth. at ave people coming in pretty rapid clip to raleigh durham, chapel hill. that means it's a vital, diverse community. we like seeing attractive to the people who want to live there. but it does drive up housing cost among other things. develop,nter cities areas gentrification occurs where the people living there get driven out and before you know it, the housing is just or not -- unaffordable close in. the people that serve our communities and i don't think any of us think that's acceptable. teachers,

we need 100 percent affordable housing, housing for families, housing for workers. >> thank you so much. one final ask. any further public comments before we close this? seeing none. public testimony is now closed. i just wanted to say express a deep thanks to all of the diverse community members that really waited patiently to share your perspectives on this really important issue, and no matter which side you are on, on the resolution clearly on the housing affordability crisis is one of the most broadly felt issues in our city, region and state. for me personally this is one of the top reasons why i took the step to try to run for office and to be on the board of supervisors to ensure my teenage daughter is going to be able -- her and her friends and children in the city are going to be able to afford to live in the city they are going up in. this is a personal level as well. thank you for speaking out. i assure you i was listening to every comment and taking notes. supervisor brown. >> commissioner brown: thank you. i want to thank everybody for coming today. i know there is differe

the house rejected no deal. the house rejected replication. the house rejected a second referendum. come to ano agreement on what it can agree on to take the issue forward. i ampeople talk about -- aware of the question the right honorable lady asked. our customs union i think there is actually more agreement and also given credit when the language is used. we have been very clear -- we have been very clear we want to obtain the benefits of a customs union, while being able to operate our own independent trade policy. we have been clear. the labour party has said i want a trade policy pair the question ensure thisn country to be in charge of its trade policy in the future. the fact remains that we now onave let the eu by wto terms if the prime minister had not extended deadlines. in recent years, they have taken in the full knowledge we could be leaving on wto terms. will the prime minister therefore show more confidence and commit to the house that if this parliament does not pass a deal, we will be leaving on wto terms, terms by which we profitably trade with many countries outsid

military family housing. the discuss issues with availability and incentives for private developers who build and manage housing on military bases. this is just under an hour and a half. >> i want to thank my colleagues for joining us here on the day is. i notice in the back of the room, some military families joining us. thank you for enlightening us and telling us about the problems so we can move forward with the solution. in february, we heard from military spouses who told us about the unsanitary conditions in the continuing impacts these conditions have on the health of their families. in addition to our panelists, this committee and many of our members have received thousands of e-mails and letters with similar accounts of mold, lead contamination, shoddy maintenance, shoddy workmanship, management staff. these accounts paint an unsettling picture of many of our private housing developments. equally disturbing is the fact that when these families reached out to their chain of command for help, instead

another mother stated housing is hard, i go house to house. i am six months pregnant and i have a baby on the way and three more months i would like to get help in housing because i'm not going to go house to house with my baby. can we get help for this housing >> thank you very much. >> i am olivia from the coalition on homelessness and i am in support of the budget every friday go to a woman judge of things talk to the women there who are a majority senior women and women with disabilities i informed them about the decisions that are made here at city hall. i would like to read one statement from cynthia mitchell who i have seen at the drop in every week for months. cynthia says, i am one of the women utilizing the homeless centers and shelters on a regular basis. i support the budget allocating a portion of the funds to develop more city housing for single, elderly women without children. there are dozens of women like cynthia who have grown up in san francisco and are displaced and live in wooden chairs at the drop in. it is disheartening

we absolutely do need more housing. and more affordable housing in particular. a lot more of it and i will support development that provides needed housing, but i want to recognize the community in soma, particularly around this park, is doing its share. for anyone who said not in my backyard or not accepted housing in their area is ridiculous and counterfactual on its face. take a walk through soma, look all around you, you will see large residential developments, many of them new and all through the area. this is more than anecdotal. in fact over the last 10 years, soma has built more housing than the rest of the city combined. i'll say that again. soma, particularly around this park, has built more housing rest than the city combined. despite this development and density, our city has not built a commensurate amount of open space. this is a massive failure. they're the only multiuse public park in the area. and it saddens me that anyone would seek to minimize or mock the real concern this community has about the impact on the park. a community that has fought

two years later they only lost one seat in the house and gained the white house. what we remember about the chaos is because larry flint exposed to the world the infidelity of the republican speaker of the house and it threw the republican caucus into chaos. but the politics stays with republicans on the issue. i think republicans will be rewarded for principle. >> jim manley, the presidential candidates operate on a separate track from house chairman or senate chairmen. >> they sure do. i want to be perfectly clear, to be first of all clear, i agree with much of what the congressman just had to say. yes, the reality is the senate democratic caucus is going to take their own temperature and act on their own processes and not be driven by the presidential candidates. of that i'm very confident. >> jim manley, david jolly, thank you for your expertise tonight. really appreciate it. >> when we come back, history is moving toward the house of representatives and there's nothing the house can do to stop that movement. we will show you the most honorable republican memb

it does talk about the type of housing, if it is family housing, housing for homeless people, for veterans, and i would be able to like send you copies of those. >> thank you. colleagues. i really appreciate the public discussion. mr. strong if there is anything to add you are welcome to or mr. i appreciate is public comment getting our hands around adding into the subtractions units where there are buyouts where we can get good information. i will be working with community members and my staff and other interested offices to see if we can get our hands around that in some way that makes sense. with that relative to the report itself, i think we need to receive it and approve it so is there a motion to send the subject resolution for this item three to the full board with recommendation made by supervisor haney? colleagues we take that without objection, and we are adjourned. >> this neighborhood was lived for approximately 22 years. >> yeah, like 21 years. >> 21 years in this neighborhood. >> in the same house. >> we moved into this neighborhood six months after we got married, actually.

>>> white house consultant. there's a new report out that justice department officials have had numerous conversations with white house lawyers about the special counsel's conclusions in recent days. how much did they reveal to the president's team? >>> two reports. the justice department reveals that some members of congress will get to see a less redacted version of the mueller report than the one that's made public. will that satisfy democrats demanding to see everything. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're many t you're in "the situation room." >>> we're following a lot of breaking news on the trump administration's roll out of the redacted mueller report from now. the justice department confirming that william barr will hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning to discuss the report and will take questions. tonight president trump says he may hold his own news conference after barr speaks. the justice department revealing that a secon

and workforce housing. abag, association of bay area governments sets housing goals for the region. san francisco was given a seven-year housing goal of 27, almost 28,000 newhousing units. over the first year, the city has permitted about 60 sites of these houses. but if you look at the chart, here are the goals. our report actually tended to focus on the funds, and we will talk about this as we go through, but there are three main sources of funds that we looked at in terms of the city's ability to acquire sites for housing and to provide gap funding for affordable housing. the housing trust fund is an allocation that was approved by the voters. the affordable housing fund relies a lot on developer impact fees, which we'll talk about later, and then there was 110,000 in g.o. bones that the voters approved. in answer to some of the specific questions, in terms of site acquisition, and a lot of this is the city helping nonprofits purchase sites as well as the city. there were 34 sites that are purchased or p

the remaining phases, and then we have future housing development funding for future housing loans, and other housing activities which covers the staffing cost of about $1.7 million to carry out the work plan we are discussing today. here is more detail on the $98.9 million of new loans. 83.3 million will be for two new construction loans, one at hunter charge of point shipyard, at the other at mission bay south block nine. these are projects that you have already proved predevelopment loans for. and another $14.1 million for four new predevelopment loans the shipyard phase one mission bay and transbay. also, there's a possibility we may need to increase our phase four loan due to decreased rental subsidy from the housing authority. we have included a little bit of funding in there for that. a little more detail here on the $67.2 million of funding for existing loans, including eight projects completing construction and in predevelopment. these are all projects with approved funding and we are just spending down those funds. this is -- and this slide, you can see the candlestick .10 a r

mary elizabeth inn has been housing the single adult woman seeking safe and affordable housing sings 1914. and since 1996, the single adult homeless women from the streets and shelters, including domestic violence shelters. in 2009, when the care not cash program was implemented, i consider it a win/win/win situation. more guest hotels transitioned into s.r.o.s for the city's homeless population, and non-profit organizations, like m.e.i., could master lease the buildings, administer housing programs, and basically fulfill our mission. 10 years later -- 10 years later, it's the city and residents who are losing. you've heard at least one example from a tenant representative earlier. non-profits are losing, but the property owners are winning. i have a few ideas to bring to the taskforce. and effort to work with private tenants -- excuse me -- private property owners, the tenants, and other city agencies so that the taskforce is truly fulfilling its mission of improving the quality of life for residents. i ask that you appoint me to seat number four on the s.r.o. taskforce. and i thank

of writing in activism on the right to housing the right to adequate housing difficult words no what is adequate who decides what is adequate yeah so it's funny because it's so obvious what might be adequate housing what we say is that under international human rights law and there is a un committee that has talked about this through what they call a general comment that housing is not just about four walls and a roof it is about four walls and a roof but it's not just about that it's about living in a place where you have peace security and most importantly dignity and once you start playing with the idea of dignity well you can imagine what that means it means living in a place with proper sanitation and basic services toilets running water it means living in a place that's close to employment so that you can actually generate an income for your for your family your house all of it means living close to health care services child care services it means having security of tenure and that's a cornerstone cornerstone of the right to housing in other words you should not be fearful tha

we want to make sure that the kind of housing we build is the kind of housing we need in san francisco. and my district wants housing in their area because they want to live in their area. during the g.a.o., i voted no but what we had discussed with my colleagues which i appreciated, if i brought specific amendments forward, would i vote yes on it. that was, i felt, my task in four days. my staff and i had to dig deep and find out what these specific amendments we felt would be the appropriate ones going forward and a our concerns and what the are today. i feel unless we tell what our concerns are and what we want to see, i don't feel like the resolution does that or digs deep and says these are the kinds of things we want to see like an area plan for the west side of the city. i think that needs to be done. and also give time to do that. give them maybe a moratorium until they're able to do that and look at what they need. so i just felt that i wanted to duplicate the file to really state that these are the specific things that we want to work on and we'd like to see. and understand i

two million houses for families like us. two million be pending every year we need one hundred thousand we really need must be building but when we talk about affordable housing for the people who are watching in the background what does that mean to you affordable give me a price range what does that look like for you affordable housing would be something like the really low less than what was that for you less than five thousand i think fifty dollars fifty dollars for rent so would we move you know because in kibera there were these houses which were built remember and then people moved into them and then they moved out of them so migrants are asking if the government comes here today and says do you hear you've been in a party a quantum magic when a steamer like you have been shot at the end of the month to me five thousand would . move in there are no no no and because according to come i mean me so that mean in the house. cindy oh i love knocking him but only. an indian is a knock when you when you buy it says and you c

with the lead of the house confirm that the bill that is currently going to the house of lords at the moment is the biggest dog ‘s dinner of any bill that we have seen in recent times his is the government opposed to this bill and will it do everything to defeat it? well, i entirely agree with my honourable friend that this is a huge dog 's dinner. as i mentioned to colleagues when we were looking out the business of the house motion, the european union notification of withdrawal act 2017, that was the act to revoke article 50, had two causes, containing only 58 words. it was debated for five full days in this chamber and it seems inconceivable that parliament has looked at this bill for the first time last tuesday and has had just a few hours of debate across both houses. mr speaker, it is not so both houses. mr speaker, it is not so much a dog 's dinner, it is a dog's brexit, and this is not just... come on, that was all right. mr speaker... just... come on, that was all right. mrspeaker... simply just... come on, that was all right. mr speaker... simply managing this day—to—d

and he and other house democrats i talked to make this point, they say because the white house already began to testify before mueller's team in such an unfetterred way, one, and two, because that testimony is now public, that basically waives any privilege claim the white house would try to bring. but my conversations with white house officials are completely unmoved by this subpoena threat. and bob costa spoke to this too, their strategy is to fight this out in the courts. they're trying to let democrats twist themselves in knots they carry out their legitimate oversight. but the strategy for buying time is let this work its way to the courts, steph. >> nancy pelosi is hearing calls for impeachment and more and more democrats are saying they want it. what is her position at this point? >> her position is still the same, she's not ruling out impeachment completely but she's trying to focus her efforts and marshal the efforts of the democratic caucus towards beating donald trump at the ballot box. that said she makes this other point, look, just because senate republicans would like to

but the proper houses away is a problem all these years. in africa we do need i mean right now we are talking nairobi alone meets two million houses for families like us. two million that is already pending every year we need two hundred thousand we must be building but when we talk about affordable housing for the people who are watching in the background what does that mean to you affordable give me a price range what does that look like for you affordable housing would be something like the really low less than what's that for you less than five thousand i think fifty dollars fifty dollars for rent so would we move you know because in kibera there were these houses which were built to remember and then people moved into them and then they moved out of them so margaret i ask you if the government comes here today and says do you hear when i'm a party i can a magic when i see my like new hampshire at the end of the month give me five thousand would you move in there and no no no because according to them i mean me so. cindy oh i love. indi

and with supportive this house. and people have trusted their politicians doing what they ask. >> david west -- two young men with their lives ahead of them. while suffering mental health problems under the care of some in the house they tragically took their own life. if you can imagine the grief interred by their families, they have since been campaigning for change, with systemic issues and problems for five years. my right honorable friend, assure me so we can secure change that some help so tragedies like this may be avoided. >> an important issue. i extend my deepest sympathy to families and friends of the honorable lady's constituent who she referred to in her question. it is an important issue. the incidents are very concerning. i understand the local trust and the council working closely to resolve issues but we do want to ensure that we are transforming mental health services around the country and we remain committed to that. we are providing record investments in these services. we have an ambitious plan

time after time it has become clear the white house is just outright saying no to every one of house democrats' demands and that led to this today. from house oversight committee chairman elijah cummings saying, quote, this is a massive unpress dentded and growing pattern of obstruction. both president trump and attorney general barr are now openly ordering federal  employees to ignore congressional subpoenas and simply not show up without any assertion of valid legal privilege. these employees and their personal attorneys should think very careful about their own legal interest rather than being swept up in the obstruction schemes of the trump administration. and democrats hope at this point given the white house clear-cut position that the individuals they subpoena and including don mcgahn will cluz to comply on their own. however there is no expectation that will happen and what that means is likely a court battle. democrats are weighing the possibility of holding these individuals in contempt. but the reality is there will likely be lawsuits to come and that means this process c

-- trans- specific housing. for years, i was a case manager in 850 bryant for the incarcerated trans women and gender nonconforming individuals in my experience of working with incarcerated trans individuals, the rate of trans women in jail who have been homeless within six months of them being in jail was 100%, literally every trans women and gender nonconforming individual that i worked with prior to being incarcerated experienced homelessness in the city. i think that we need to look at the ways in which these issues are intersecting. the city was wonderful enough to fund our reentry efforts for trans individuals, and i want to say that as a part of that, i really important complement to this effort is to be able to put trans women, trans people in general in housing so that they don't continue this cycle of feeling like they need to do other things to survive out of desperation. i would ask that the city continues to support our community and continues to step in in this crisis and address trans homelessness

with this housing project and this opportunity to provide housing to youth who are transitioning out, it will prevent them from following what i had to do. i became homeless at the age of 18, right after my time in foster care. i had to get back on my feet. i had to find a job. i became homeless with my immigrant mother for three months and then i made the decision to go back to school. now i'm at san francisco state university. i am one of those youth who need housing and who needs this kind of opportunity. and i'm totally for this housing project and -- yeah, that will be my time. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i live in the cayuga neighborhood behind the proposed development. i want to thank supervisor safai for championing this project. i think it's going to be a great addition to the neighborhood. my issue for this particular board, i already spoke in front of the planning council, is transportation. right now, there are 66 proposed parking spaces and green trip suggested that the real number to satisfy their criteria is more like 114. i think that it is part o

abby philip at the white house, thanks very much. a key member of the house ways and means committee seeking the tax returns dan kildee is joining us. thanks for joining us. why have you decided, you're committee chairman, to take this extraordinary step now? >> the president has broken nearly a half century of custom where candidates for president and presidents of the united states have routinely furnished multiple years of their tax returns to the public in order to provide some assurance their public duties are not influenced by their private interests but i think in this case specifically the committee is looking at policy, we are looking at the extent to which the irs audits and enforces federal tax laws on the president. the routine process of auditing presidential tax returns is not a matter of law. it's a matter of practice at the irs. so it's important for us as we did this question to get our hands on these documents in order to make that assessment and obviously there are serious other public interests that would be serve

will use modular housing. they secured a $10 million veterans housing and homelessness prevention funding award. the catholic charities mercy housing project has submitted for a.h.s.c., and we expect to hear back certainly by june, and hopefully we'll have indication sooner. and if that is awarded, it will be $20 million for treasure island, of which $13.7 million will be for the affordable housing. not mentioned here, there are the state bond measures that passed last year with $2 billion, meaning there are more sources now than used to be. going back to our 2011 projections we lost other sources, such as hudd 202, and we lost a lot of equity we get. so we've lost some and we've gained some. and this is generally. but one reason for optimism is the november bond in san francisco, and it's in the process of being worked on so it will go on the ballot this november, and that would benefit treasure island, as well as other non-profit affordable housing in san francisco. so moving on to what is the pipeline for t

housing. for so long we've watched speculators buy our housing and push out existing tenant to flip units for major profits. according to the latest report, less than 18% of net new units in san francisco in the last 10 years have been affordable and for every two new affordable buildings it lost one rent-controlled unit. we cannot afford to continue taking two steps forward and one step back. the market will not solve the problem. the city has to step in and protect our existing affordable housing in order to prevent displacement. this is a critical tool to stop the bleeding by purchasing multifamily buildings looking to sell and preserve them as permanently affordable housing by the tool we have the opportunity to challenge the notion that home ownership is the only secure form of housing. it allow non-profit to remove buildings from the speculative market and stabilize tenant and preserve the buildings as permanently affordable housing. it protects the landlord's ability to sell at market r

the chair: pursuant to house . solution 281, a member the chair recognizes the gentleman from new york. mr. jeffries: i rise in support of the re-authorization of the violence against women act. this amendment modestly modifies the bill to ensure that the materials distributed to victims and survivors are available in commonly encountered languages. there are approximately 26 million americans whose primary language is not english. one in five american families speak another language at home. in my home state of new york, that number is one in three. languages spoken throughout the country include spanish, chinese, vietnamese and french, just to name a few. h.r. 1585 provides that the secretary of labor may disseminate information on the resources and rights available of survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking. it is important that all survivors and all victims regardless of the language they primarily speak or read have access to such critical information. this amendment will no

white house is on defense. after "the new york times" reported chief of staff mulvaney warned kirstjen nielsen not to bring up concerns about russian interference in the upcoming election with president trump because it wasn't a great subject. mulvaney dispute that go bing t but not denying it saying the trump administration will not tolerate foreign interference in our elections. sources tell cnn officials often go out of their way to not talk about russia with trump because he sees any talk about russia's interference as an attack on his presidency. while top intelligence officials warn it's an ongoing problem, the president's allies and top advisers are downplaying it. >> i think the investigations and all of the speculation that's happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy. >> reporter: while the president may not want to talk about election meddling, he is welcoming another fight. >> we're fighting all the subpoenas. these aren't impartial people. the democrats are tryin

eastern tonight, quote, white house plans to fight the house subpoena of former white house counsel don mcgahn for testimony on the mueller report. white house lawyers saying they're going to try to exert executive privilege so don mcgahn can't talk about the issues with the president. fascinating story by the white house because don mcgahn already testified about those things to the special counsel, so it's a little late for the white house to be saying those things are privileged and can't be discussed outside the white house. because of that scoop from "the washington post" tonight, we made plans to talk to one of the reporters who got that scoop. we made plans to talk to reporter robert costa. but then as we were racing towards show time, robert surprisingly let us know that, hello, he had just received a call from the president, from the president himself. quote, president trump says he is opposed to current and former white house aides providing testimony to congressional panels in the wake of the special counsel report, intensifying a power struggle between his administration of
