The amendment would extend the grant term through June 30, 2027 and increase the agreement by about $11.5 million for a total not-to-exceed amount of roughly $21.5 million. Deputy Director Emily Cohen of HSH said the contract supports a short-to-medium-term rapid rehousing program for single adults that provides time-limited subsidies (generally 12–24 months), housing-location services and housing-focused case management, with partnerships to deliver ongoing case management in some instances.

Cohen told the committee that ECS has served more than 230 adults under the contract, had about 90% utilization of subsidies, and that the amendment would expand capacity to serve 305 adults. She said the program is 100% funded by Proposition C (Our City, Our Home) and that the served population is demographically representative of the city's homeless population (Cohen cited 33% African American, 21% older adults among those served).

Nick Menard from the Budget and Legislative Analyst's Office reviewed the BLA report, noting ECS generally met contractor standards but did not meet the program target of placing clients into housing within 75 days in the past two fiscal years; placements averaged just over 100 days in each of those years. Menard said HSH and ECS reported process improvements and that ECS met the 75-day target in the most recent six months of 2024. The BLA recommended approval.

ECS Chief Program Officer Chris Calandrillo spoke in support and offered to provide more information to the committee. Chair Chan moved to forward the resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation; the committee recorded three ayes (Dorsey, Gardio and Chan) and the motion passed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Francisco County - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jan 29, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee voted to forward a resolution that extends and increases Episcopal Community Services’ rapid rehousing grant, adding capacity for single adults and continuing Prop C funding through June 30, 2027.","taxTitle","San Francisco County, California","taxId",2862,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6671352,"Budget committee backs retroactive $250,000 grant to Public Defender’s Clean Slate unit",221,133000,354000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2165672-d7db20bbe1329f65c396ac0091b98486&start=133&end=354","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2165672-d7db20bbe1329f65c396ac0091b98486/thumbnail_133000.jpg","/articles/6671352/San-Francisco-County/California/Budget-committee-backs-retroactive-250000-grant-to-Public-Defenders-Clean-Slate-unit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6671352-aa30c269729cd5e1e15ee80a4abe0279/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440040&Signature=SZqEL8XlYn60QUJG1cRW71g~K6VPcTgUnmMT2hBaMY0MyX9by2hxmLsPSHlV104EtZFXlCApNRT5bCeWgXCXnXopXJ60syE3QmlTZWhhlR9nSz6MLVGIhhNcxP0UE8dJZ0hybNTPvdI13zJpWENF6yDOmemvBznEt7rfoYsLEYr8165qfMQub1m-QiwZnr~5XU-38G0t3xcsrcF~KKnjTiycw4dWCFSnf29cF5CeDbToWyIarDWk800tciM4Hb2whgCyQmTxmuRa0rQvg48oOvo3HCazIIFtEUGb3gg7k57NTqO7eeVkZR0LFoZ4cyNWP3s9FXQO3kmoaAEzfy60vg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Budget and Finance Committee on Jan. 29 voted to forward to the full Board of Supervisors a resolution authorizing the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office to accept and expend a $250,000 grant from the Crane~Start Foundation to support its Clean Slate unit.

The grant, retroactive to the July 1, 2024 start of the fiscal year, will fund an existing managing attorney position in the Clean Slate unit and cover the period through June 30, 2025. Public Defender Manod Raju and Clean Slate manager Kelly Pretzer presented details to the committee and thanked Supervisor Walton’s office, the mayor’s office and the controller for their assistance getting the resolution prepared.

The Clean Slate unit provides expungement and motions to vacate convictions, and works with survivors of trafficking and domestic violence and noncitizens seeking immigration relief. Pretzer told the committee the unit receives about 1,500 new applications a year and files roughly 1,900 motions annually. She said Clean Slate has expunged about 60,000 records since its founding in 1999 and that the unit includes seven staff members: two Crane~Start-funded attorneys, 1.5 paralegals/warrant clerk (city-funded for two years), a social worker, and a half-time clerk funded by the city.

Chair Supervisor Connie Chan moved to forward the resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation; the clerk recorded a roll call of three ayes (Supervisor Matt Dorsey, Supervisor Joanne Gardio and Chair Chan) and the motion passed.

The resolution package includes a retroactive grant agreement dated Oct. 10, 2024; the controller’s office and the mayor’s office approved the package Nov. 18, 2024, and Supervisor Walton introduced the resolution Nov. 19, 2024.","The Budget and Finance Committee voted to forward a resolution authorizing the San Francisco Public Defender to accept a $250,000 Crane~Start Foundation grant to fund the office’s Clean Slate unit, which provides expungement and conviction-vacatur services.","actionData","errors"]
