Rules Committee recommends three appointments to Housing Conservatorship Working Group
Summary
The committee recommended forwarding three nominees—Jessica Layman, Jennifer Estine (residency waiver noted), and Sarah Short—to the full board for the Housing Conservatorship Working Group after public endorsement from disability‑rights and tenant groups.
The Rules Committee on Oct. 21 recommended forwarding three nominees to the Housing Conservatorship Working Group, which will advise on local implementation surrounding housing conservatorship issues. The committee moved the slate with a positive recommendation and recorded member Walton absent for the item.
Applicants who presented included Jessica Layman of Senior and Disability Action, who outlined two decades of disability‑rights work and community outreach; Jennifer Estine, a registered nurse with San Francisco Department of Public Health, who described clinical and placement experience and said she would serve as a labor representative; and Sarah Short of Community Housing Partnership, who emphasized trauma‑informed care and civil‑liberties concerns.
Public commenters including Brian Edwards (Coalition on Homelessness), Raya Small (Voluntary Services First Coalition), and other tenant advocates endorsed the three nominees and urged the committee to select members who could critically oversee any implementation. Supervisor Marr moved the appointments forward (seating Layman to seat 2 with a residency waiver, Estien/Estine to seat 4 with a waiver, and Short to seat 6); the motion passed without objection.
