City Manager Williams stated for the record that the LifeMoves social workers station at BART and transit facilities in the evening, depending on cases, and stay throughout the night. They have put over 100 people in temporary housing each and every year. Secondly, the El Rancho Inn is closing; there's a project approval for 365 units under state law - SB 330 with five percent affordable; the City wanted to go as high as 20%. It is an example of how state law did not allow the City to condition the project to have more affordability.
