Like, I guess, struggling is really hard[br]for a lot of people, and Myriah's going

0:00:07.546,0:00:09.126
through what she's going through.

0:00:09.126,0:00:10.196
I'm going through it myself.

0:00:10.656,0:00:11.946
I have an 11-year-old son.

0:00:13.276,0:00:16.686
It's hard, you know, but you[br]just got to keep on going.

0:00:16.996,0:00:17.746
You don't give up.

>> The numbers are higher[br]than we thought they'd be.

0:00:55.416,0:01:00.096
We have more students that go[br]to bed hungry and more students

0:01:00.166,0:01:01.776
that aren't sure where they're going to sleep.

0:01:02.186,0:01:06.086
And it's critical for the success[br]in college or in high school

0:01:06.356,0:01:09.456
that you have a good meal[br]and a roof over your head.

and that's thanks to Measure H.[br]And, yes, that includes students.

0:01:30.846,0:01:37.456
And so the Board of Supervisors just[br]committed $1 billion of Measure H funds

0:01:37.456,0:01:42.216
over the next three years that will[br]specifically address homelessness.

>> I just want, like, you know,[br]you guys to know that it's hard.

0:01:45.916,0:01:50.656
And, you know, there's days you're going[br]to want to stop, but just keep going.

0:01:50.656,0:01:55.586
