RE: In Support of June 8 Council Meeting Agenda Item #10
Dear Honorable Mayor and Anaheim City Council Members,
On behalf of Kingdom Causes, Inc., dba City Net, I am pleased to support Agenda Item
#10 and the Better Way Anaheim Program.
City Net is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ending homelessness through the
coordination of community efforts and activities. Since 2014, we have provided services
including street outreach and engagement, case management, housing navigation,
bridge housing, rapid rehousing, shelter operations, community mobilization and census
coordination. We operate the Anaheim Community Care Response Team and have been
proud partners of the City of Anaheim since 2014, including collaborating with Love
Anaheim and the Better Way Anaheim Program in a variety of ways.
Better Way Anaheim (BWA) is an innovative program ofJMh -Anaheim / Love Anaheim
that offers voluntary community service projects for work experience to help end
homelessness. The program began in December 2017 as a pilot and, since its inception,
has served more than 1,460 homeless participants as they take their next steps to end
their homelessness and improve their lives. At least once a week, up to 20 individuals
perform service projects and maintenance activities at Anaheim parks and public
facilities and on Anaheim streets. Regularly, BWA connects participants with
representatives from City Net and also refers participants to Chrysalis.
We would like to see agenda item #10 be passed and see the BWA program continue. If
you have questions, feel free to contact me at brad gcitynet.org or
Sincerely,
Dr. Brad Fieldhouse
Founder and President
