The San Francisco Disability and Aging Services Commission held a meeting on July 4, 2025, focusing on community-based organizations (CBOs) and employee recognition, alongside discussions on legislative matters and public comments.

A significant highlight of the meeting was the recognition of two CBOs, Bayview and Central Latino, for their contributions to the community. The commission expressed enthusiasm about their upcoming participation in a conference, emphasizing the importance of honoring local organizations that make a positive impact in San Francisco.

The meeting also featured an employee recognition segment, where the entire Collaborative Caregiver Support Team (CCST) was honored for their dedication to enhancing in-home supportive services for elderly individuals and adults with disabilities. The CCST program, which began as a pilot in November 2021, has expanded to 64 sites, significantly improving health outcomes and reducing evictions for residents in permanent supportive housing. The team’s collaborative approach has been praised for its effectiveness in connecting clients with vital home care support.

In addition to these recognitions, the commission discussed ongoing challenges related to quorum issues within the advisory council, particularly in securing representation from five specific districts. The council plans to address this by confirming attendance ahead of meetings to avoid future cancellations.

The meeting concluded with a report on legislative matters, including a discussion on a letter of support for AB 229, which aims to modernize in-person requirements of the Brown Act. The commission is actively working to fill vacancies and improve representation to ensure effective governance.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commission's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations in San Francisco through recognition of dedicated teams and addressing legislative needs.
