where did i get that crazy notion that Tenderloin Housing Clinic was Care Not Cash?<\/p>\n

interesting article here<\/a> on how Master Lease developed<\/p>\n

So this was part of the Board Of Supervisors. I’ve been sentenced by the Board of Supervisors?. Sheesh, and I never even got a trial<\/p>\n

This program at an extraordinarily low cost has brought conservatively 350
\nvacant units (and overall 800 units) onto the real estate market because the
\nhotels that had been leased prior to this did not maximize the permanent
\nresidency,\u00b2 stated Randy Shaw of the Tenderloin Housing Clinic, to me in an
\ninterview as he discussed some of the strategy that was involved with the
\ndevelopment the Master Leasing program.<\/em><\/p>\n

This hotel, The Seneca, did not maximize permanent residency because they wanted to keep the crackheads out. It wasn’t until the Patels bought it that that happened<\/p>\n

Before both the dot.com boom and surge in the economy, hotels such as the
\nJefferson had charged rents which were tied to the income that a person
\nreceived from General Assistance or other fixed income. Since 1997, however,
\nall of the residential hotels in San Francisco had begun to charge
\nunaffordable rents and the housing shortage had tightened. Hotels were no
\nlonger accepting referrals \u2039 the prevailing system at that time \u2039 due to the
\nrent increases. Out of this dilemma was born the concept of a Master Leasing
\nprogram. <\/em><\/p>\n

Not the Seneca, nope. The Raynals never accepted referrals from anywhere. They chose everybody who entered the building. They didn’t charge extraordinary rents at the time either, nope. They just didn’t let crackheads in is all. I’m guessing the Raynals were the exception, compared to the other hotels that got taken over<\/p>\n

The Master Lease program went through intense scrutiny as part of the budget
\nhearings. There were many concerns by members of the community and
\ncommunity-based organizations which forced the Coalition on Homelessness to
\nrequest Board of Supervisor President Tom Ammiano to place money in reserve
\nthat had been earmarked for a Master Lease program at the Hartland Hotel,
\nthe first Master Lease program to come on line.<\/em><\/p>\n

intense scrutiny..hmmm, yeah, I can understand why, yeah yeah. And I still got sentenced to Master Leasing!<\/p>\n

I am glad that there have only been five buildings to sign on at this
\npoint,\u00b2 stated Paul with an expressionless tone. \u00b3The access is not broad
\nenough to satisfy the Coalition on Homelessness. If you are not able to go
\nto work, for example, you cannot access these hotels.\u00b2 It seems the policies
\naround the Master Lease program are not yet satisfactory<\/em><\/p>\n

Huh?..well this quote is 7 years ago. There’s an awful lot of people here who are not working, hang out all day in the lobby, all night. One of the original managers from around that time once admitted to me the employment rate through this PAES programs was extrememly low…Something like 2%<\/p>\n

I’d like to see some numbers<\/p>\n

oh, and there was an interview<\/a> on the radio today (quake)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
