Quotes
Officials only, in order.
When I think about a Good Neighbor Program, I’m actually thinking about the people whose minds and hearts have changed because they’ve connected or understood better all the challenges that go into addressing homelessness in this incredibly expensive city that is hard to do.Bevan Dufty · Commissioner1:11:22
You had 294 folks that left the list because they did not need HSH housing, and I was wondering to what degree do we know if they got housing elsewhere, or is it just we lost communication?Sharky Laguana · Commissioner1:26:33
So, is the re-procurement going to change the pay schedule? Or— I don’t know enough about HSH contracts, but is it going to be fee-for-service or cost reimbursement?Katie Albright · Chair1:41:31
We had a staff member who found herself and her family homeless. This person worked for us earlier this year, a survivor of domestic violence.Dontaye Ball · Commissioner1:47:55

How we count
Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 99 of 100 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
