No new philanthropic partnerships. No new sites for navigation centers and no path forward.

I do believe in real results, and I know that those who are homeless also count on that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in December 3 of last year, I too, said homelessness had reached a crisis point, but my response included substance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Substance like 522 new units of permanent supportive housing in the last seven months. Expanding the national shelter model my administration created, the navigation center. Ending chronic homelessness for veterans. A new 180-bed shelter at Pier 80. El Niño shelters to cover for 700 people, thanks to the collaboration and cooperation of our Interfaith Council. Helping hundreds of homeless people out of a public health emergency on Division Street and into shelter without having to make a single arrest. Twenty million dollars for a new bond funding for homeless shelters. Creating a new coordinated homeless department. A billion-dollar funding commitment with a goal of subsidizing 8,000 homeless people by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've held several meetings with HUD Secretary Julian Castro and President Obama's homelessness director. And last month, I led a West Coast mayors funding effort to get more resources to solve homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much we agree on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I believe we have a vigorous disagreement over allowing people to inject heroin and meth to literally destroy their bodies and their minds in a city-funded shelter as some have proposed. We should instead focus on expanding successful residential drug treatment facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Look, we need to build more navigation centers, and I share the frustration of those are critical of how long our efforts are taking to bear fruit. But anger does not help -- cooperation does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to those who are actually interested in cooperating, genuinely willing to work together, we have a great opportunity. In the six months since I've announced plans to double our navigation centers, I have received very cooperative responses from about four supervisors. You know who you are, and I want to thank you. You have demonstrated real leadership for the people in your district and for the city's homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My administration has identified more than a dozen potential navigation center sites spread around the city and working with the interfaith community and city departments with surplus land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And today I'm announcing a new dedicated project manager, a partnership between our HOPE office and Public Works department with the sole focus of getting new navigation centers built as quickly as possible. We have already begun community meetings and what we hope will be our next to new navigation center sites -- one near Pier 80 and one in the South of Market area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So supervisors, if you want to really help solve this, work with me, work with Public Works, work with the Human Services Agency, and certainly with our Public Health Department and at least four of your colleagues who have already begun that work with me. Work with us to get these sites community buy-in, work with us to make this happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This, supervisors, is a true test of our resolve, and I hope you stand with us in the months ahead as we build these centers, as we staff them up and as we give real help to our homeless people in need as they deserve.

"headTitle": "State of Health | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>A San Francisco Board of Supervisors committee voted Monday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The vote of the Land Use Committee was 3-0 to prohibit retailers from selling tobacco products -- including smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes -- to those under age 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The full board will consider the ordinance next Tuesday, March 1. If the measure passes and is signed by the mayor, San Francisco would join \u003ca href=\"http://tobacco21.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Tobacco-21-Cities-new22.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">more than 120 cities nationally \u003c/a>-- including Boston and New York -- in approving the change. Hawaii raised the age statewide, effective Jan. 1. In California, Healdsburg and \u003ca href=\"http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/berkeley-raises-smoking-age-to-21-300210500.html\" target=\"_blank\">Berkeley \u003c/a>have both approved the higher age. A bill in the California Assembly to raise the age statewide stalled last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents of the change say that many teenagers access cigarettes and other tobacco products from friends who are old enough to legally buy them.

"content": "\u003cp>\"Manipulative schemer\"? Or exemplary public servant maneuvered into a legal corner by an \"extremely talented, well trained, and very skillful\" undercover FBI agent?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are the competing portraits of state Sen. Leland Yee that emerge in sentencing memorandums filed Wednesday in his federal corruption case. Yee faces sentencing next week after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/01/former-state-sen-leland-yee-may-have-struck-plea-deal-with-feds\" target=\"_blank\">pleading guilty on corruption charges\u003c/a> that included bribery, extortion, money laundering and arms trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 47-page memorandum filed Wednesday, (\u003ca href=\"#prosecutorsmemo\">embedded below\u003c/a>) prosecutors urged U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer to sentence Yee to eight years in prison -- a severe sentence they argue will serve as a warning to other lawmakers who may be tempted to break the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee's attorney, James Lassart, is seeking a sentence of no more than five years and three months. He's asking Breyer to consider an even lighter punishment so that Yee, 67, can remain home and care for his ill wife, who has suffered from lymphoma and other ailments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution memo portrays Yee -- who served on San Francisco's school board and Board of Supervisors and represented the city in both houses of the Legislature -- as a cynical grafter who repeatedly betrayed the public trust. The memo also questions Yee's personal integrity, alleging that at one point, the senator took sexual advantage of a woman constituent who had come to him for advice in a child-custody dispute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Response: Agent 'Brilliantly Hooked' Yee Associate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 35-page response by Lassart -- also \u003ca href=\"#yeememo\">embedded below\u003c/a> -- suggests that while Yee accepts responsibility for his actions, he was steered into an impossible legal position by an undercover FBI agent who \"brilliantly hooked and secured\" Yee's co-defendant, San Francisco political consultant Keith Jackson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/26/a-reporters-guide-to-affidavit-on-leland-yee/\" target=\"_blank\">the 2014 federal complaint\u003c/a> against Yee and Jackson -- filed in conjunction with the racketeering investigation into \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/08/raymond-shrimp-boy-chow-guilty-on-all-162-counts-in-racketeering-murder-trial\" target=\"_blank\">now-convicted Chinatown crime boss Raymond \"Shrimp Boy\" Chow\u003c/a> -- prosecutors said the pair sought a series of bribes from undercover agents and engaged in extortion as they tried to retire the debt from Yee's unsuccessful 2011 run for mayor and to raise funds for his 2014 campaign for California secretary of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lassart says that one of those agents, whom he repeatedly describes as \"extremely skillful,\" essentially turned Jackson into his employee. Jackson, in turn, was unwittingly put to work entangling Yee in influence-peddling schemes and an arms-trafficking deal. Yee's participation, Lassart argues, was indirect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their memo, prosecutors dismiss the notion that Yee was not an active participant in the crimes to which he's pleaded guilty. They describe Yee as \"a manipulative schemer\" who had Jackson act as the front man for his dealings with the agents in an attempt to insulate himself from responsibility:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Yee may argue to the court ... that much of the time he was unwitting as to what Jackson was doing with and saying to the undercover agents. Yee may argue he was out of the loop and did not authorize Jackson to speak for him. ... However, the overwhelming evidence, as found in the recordings of Yee himself, demonstrates that Jackson consulted with him about all conversations with the undercovers pertaining to Yee, took instructions from Yee, and did Yee’s bidding.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In arguing for a lighter sentence than the eight years sought by prosecutors, Lassart points to Yee as a man of \"exemplary character\" who has performed \"exemplary service to the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a career spent as a child psychologist, youth advocate and public school proponent, Lassart says, Yee went on to the Legislature, where he \"fought for children, mental health services, working families, seniors, education, open government, consumer protection, civil rights, and the environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Altruistic or Cynical?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lassart's filing notes Yee's legislation to aid victims of domestic violence, bills that won plaudits from several women's organizations. The government memorandum goes out of its way to suggest Yee's activity on behalf of women was \"cynical, rather than altruistic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo cites an intercepted 2013 conversation with an unidentified male in which Yee mentioned a human-trafficking bill he had sponsored. The document says Yee and the other man discussed -- \"perhaps jokingly\" -- visiting prostitutes in San Mateo. Yee asked whether the women were \"human trafficked in there\" and mentioned his pending legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the other man said, \"It happens all over the place,\" the prosecutors' memo quotes Yee as saying, “Shit, man, do you think I care, man? All I care about is that the women love me. That’s all I care. I don’t care if it works, the bill works or not, so long as the women think I support women, that’s all I care about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution document also alleges that Yee \"took advantage\" of a woman constituent, identified only as \"Friend A,\" who came to him for help with a personal problem:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Friend A told the FBI that at a booth at a festival in 2012, she saw a pamphlet about Yee that referred to domestic violence. She believed that Yee might be able to assist her with court proceedings involving custody of her young daughter. Friend A returned to the festival the next day and saw Yee at the booth. She began to cry when she told Yee about her situation. Yee asked how he could reach her and she provided her cell number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she got home, there were already two messages from Yee. In one, he said he was coming to see her and wanted her home address. Friend A called Yee and told him the next day was more convenient.

Or exemplary public servant maneuvered into a legal corner by an \"extremely talented, well trained, and very skillful\" undercover FBI agent?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are the competing portraits of state Sen. Leland Yee that emerge in sentencing memorandums filed Wednesday in his federal corruption case. Yee faces sentencing next week after \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/01/former-state-sen-leland-yee-may-have-struck-plea-deal-with-feds\" target=\"_blank\">pleading guilty on corruption charges\u003c/a> that included bribery, extortion, money laundering and arms trafficking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a 47-page memorandum filed Wednesday, (\u003ca href=\"#prosecutorsmemo\">embedded below\u003c/a>) prosecutors urged U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer to sentence Yee to eight years in prison -- a severe sentence they argue will serve as a warning to other lawmakers who may be tempted to break the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee's attorney, James Lassart, is seeking a sentence of no more than five years and three months. He's asking Breyer to consider an even lighter punishment so that Yee, 67, can remain home and care for his ill wife, who has suffered from lymphoma and other ailments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution memo portrays Yee -- who served on San Francisco's school board and Board of Supervisors and represented the city in both houses of the Legislature -- as a cynical grafter who repeatedly betrayed the public trust. The memo also questions Yee's personal integrity, alleging that at one point, the senator took sexual advantage of a woman constituent who had come to him for advice in a child-custody dispute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jackson, in turn, was unwittingly put to work entangling Yee in influence-peddling schemes and an arms-trafficking deal. Yee's participation, Lassart argues, was indirect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their memo, prosecutors dismiss the notion that Yee was not an active participant in the crimes to which he's pleaded guilty. They describe Yee as \"a manipulative schemer\" who had Jackson act as the front man for his dealings with the agents in an attempt to insulate himself from responsibility:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Yee may argue to the court ... that much of the time he was unwitting as to what Jackson was doing with and saying to the undercover agents. Yee may argue he was out of the loop and did not authorize Jackson to speak for him. ... However, the overwhelming evidence, as found in the recordings of Yee himself, demonstrates that Jackson consulted with him about all conversations with the undercovers pertaining to Yee, took instructions from Yee, and did Yee’s bidding.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In arguing for a lighter sentence than the eight years sought by prosecutors, Lassart points to Yee as a man of \"exemplary character\" who has performed \"exemplary service to the community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a career spent as a child psychologist, youth advocate and public school proponent, Lassart says, Yee went on to the Legislature, where he \"fought for children, mental health services, working families, seniors, education, open government, consumer protection, civil rights, and the environment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Altruistic or Cynical?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lassart's filing notes Yee's legislation to aid victims of domestic violence, bills that won plaudits from several women's organizations. The government memorandum goes out of its way to suggest Yee's activity on behalf of women was \"cynical, rather than altruistic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memo cites an intercepted 2013 conversation with an unidentified male in which Yee mentioned a human-trafficking bill he had sponsored. The document says Yee and the other man discussed -- \"perhaps jokingly\" -- visiting prostitutes in San Mateo. Yee asked whether the women were \"human trafficked in there\" and mentioned his pending legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the other man said, \"It happens all over the place,\" the prosecutors' memo quotes Yee as saying, “Shit, man, do you think I care, man? All I care about is that the women love me. That’s all I care. I don’t care if it works, the bill works or not, so long as the women think I support women, that’s all I care about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prosecution document also alleges that Yee \"took advantage\" of a woman constituent, identified only as \"Friend A,\" who came to him for help with a personal problem:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Friend A told the FBI that at a booth at a festival in 2012, she saw a pamphlet about Yee that referred to domestic violence. She believed that Yee might be able to assist her with court proceedings involving custody of her young daughter. Friend A returned to the festival the next day and saw Yee at the booth. She began to cry when she told Yee about her situation. Yee asked how he could reach her and she provided her cell number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she got home, there were already two messages from Yee. In one, he said he was coming to see her and wanted her home address. Friend A called Yee and told him the next day was more convenient. Yee asked what time her children went to bed, and ended up coming to Friend A’s home later that night. Friend A told the FBI that when they met at her home that evening, Yee told her he would try to help and then kissed her. She reported that from that point on, the relationship was sexual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yee proceeded to assist Friend A by referring her to an attorney. He also loaned her $10,000 in cash.
