Subject:Support for Covenant House at 632 N. East Street
To: Anaheim City Council

Re: Support for Covenant House at 632 N. East Street
Dear Councilmembers:
This letter is in support of Covenant House's proposed housing project located at 632 N. East Street in
Anaheim, CA.
My wife and I are neighbors of Covenant House's facility located at 200 Harrison Street in Oakland, CA.
We have lived a few blocks from this site for nearly nine years. During that time, we have not experienced any
problems from clients or staff at Covenant House. In fact, we attended a holiday party for the youth a few years
ago and had a nice time. We regularly walk our dog in the area as well. In our opinion, Covenant House
provides a valuable service for homeless youth and is a good neighbor.
Housing for homeless youth is more important than ever in California. We believe that Covenant House
provides a safe space at its facilities and important programs to help homeless youth prepare for their future.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Laird
