SAN FRANCISCO HOUSING AUTHORITY
Date: Friday, April 20, 2012
To: Board of Commissioners
From: Henry A. Alvarez III, Executive Director
Re: Responses to Public Comment at Commission Meeting on April 12, 2012
Linda Ng, Ramonica Grayson, Terry Van, Ramonica Grayson, Jasmine, Keisha Jones and Uzuri
Pease, commented on the 30 day notice provided to Ramonica Grayson and spoke in support of
the work that she has been doing for Sunnydale residents through her food and clothing pantry.
Staff Response:
Presently, the Housing Authority is offering Ms. Grayson an opportunity to continue her
operation at the Sunnydale development in a unit located at 1 Santos St. The offer is
subject to the following terms:
1. Ms. Grayson will be allowed to stay in the unit until a duly elected tenant
association is established at Sunnydale. The Housing Authority will oversee the
election and anticipates the process will be completed within 90 days.
2. After the election is complete, if Ms. Grayson wishes to stay at the Sunnydale
development, she must sign the same lease agreement as other CBO’s that operate
on our property. This includes obtaining the requisite insurance.
Ms. Grayson may remain at Sunnydale subject to the terms above. Otherwise, the Housing
Authority will proceed with the pending eviction.
Commenter Paul Currier, resident of JFK Towers, criticized the election process for the
Tenants’ Association (TA), at JFK Towers. He encouraged the Housing Authority to look into
further funding opportunities.
Commenter Steve Cashmen reported discrepancies in a letter he received from City Wide Senior
Disabled’s legal counsel. Further, Mr. Cashmen stated that he continues to have concerns
regarding the election process at 666 Ellis.
9
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. An independent
investigation regarding the Tenants’ Elections at JFK Towers and 666 Ellis was arranged
by the Office of the General Counsel to address the concerns of the residents. The results
of these investigations will be presented to the board.
Commenter Helani Ting thanked SFHA Management for their due diligence and effective efforts
to help resolve her issues with Park Merced Management.
Commenter Diva, resident at Park Merced indicated that she is still in danger of being evicted
from Park Merced, and that the Commission is violating various laws including the Brown Act.
Staff Response:
Management of the Authority met with Park Merced Management on Tuesday, March 6,
2012 and again on Thursday, March 15, 2012 to review files of tenants expressing concerns
regarding their status.
Diva signed a lease agreement with Park Merced through which she agreed to pay for her
utilities. The Housing Authority provides Diva with a utility allowance (which is a discount
on her rent) to assist her with paying utilities. Diva has not paid her utilities so she is being
evicted pursuant to the terms of the lease she signed.
Commenter Teresita Pineda claimed that her neighbor at JFK towers smokes cigarettes, which
has an adverse impact on her asthma. She requested that her neighbor be moved.
Staff offered both Ms. Pineda and her neighbor an opportunity to move to a different unit
within JFK to resolve the matter. Both Ms. Pineda and her neighbor refused to move. Ms.
Pineda’s neighbor claims that he does not smoke, but instead burns incense. If Ms. Pineda
neighbor decides to remain in his unit, the Housing Authority will notice the neighbor
regarding the smoking and proceed to an unlawful detainer action if
necessary. Notwithstanding, staff’s hope is to reach a voluntary move for one the parties.
