COMMUNITY POLICY FORUM TO BE HELD IN
EXCELSIOR DISTRICT ON YOUTH ISSUES
Mayor’s community forum to focus on how the city can support youth and their families
SAN FRANCISCO, CA –Mayor Gavin Newsom today announced that the next community policy forum will be held at the Excelsior Boys and Girls Club on Saturday April 21 at 2:00pm. The Excelsior District meeting will focus on San Francisco’s children, youth, and their families in recognition of April as "SF Kids Month."
The forum will continue the Mayor’s commitment to discussing important policy issues in San Francisco’s communities. In January, Mayor Newsom hosted a meeting focused on homelessness and its impact on neighborhoods from the Richmond to the Tenderloin. In February, the Mayor joined hundreds of Bayview Hunters Point residents at the Whitney Young Child Development Center to discuss Communities of Opportunity and what the City is doing to address issues of crime, poverty, sub-standard housing and education. Last month, residents from the Mission District came together to learn about the City’s Health Access Plan (HAP) and the need to do more to provide consistent, reliable, affordable healthcare for all San Franciscans regardless of income level.
The Excelsior District policy forum will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2007 at 2:00pm at the Excelsior Boys and Girls Club 163 London Street (at Excelsior Avenue). Daycare will be provided.
