Re: Conditional Use Permit (CUP)/DEV2O21-06O1G)located at626N.West St,Anaheim, CAg2801
Tothe Anaheim City Council,
I am writing this letter in support of Grandma's House of Hope and the proposed Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) (DEV2021-06016) located at626 N. West StAnaheim, CA 92801. | have beep informed that th
a
Planning Department Staff Report recommended approval for the proposed project. | believe that this
project would help address the homelessness crisis facing Anaheim, and that Grandma's House of Hope
(GHH) has and will operate this project in a reputable and considerate manner.
As someone who is concerned for the plight of those living on our streets, many with mental health
challenges that have never been diagnosed, I know action must be taken to assist those in need and end
the cycle of homelessness. By doing so, we are enhancing our community by preserving the dignity of all
people and their right tobefairly housed without discrimination.
The housing services that GHH has provided forthe last 17 years has earned them an excellent reputation
with their peers and partners. It is an organization that I support as a cari ' �fully designed way to improve
the homelessness issue. K is an organization that improves the lives of the most vulnerable who (we
should not forget) are also members of the community. My understanding is that GHH's success in moving
their participants to Permanent Housing within 12 months is 65%, which is among the highest in the
county.
| understand that the staff report for this project supportedapp |oftheCUP,andthatGHHi»quite
experienced with this population and the County holds it in high regard with the OC Healthcare Agency,
who administers the contract for these services and audits the program annually.
|
|umconcerned and| question why the commissioners outrightrejected thereco mnend tions of the staff
report, which was assembled over a 6 -to -9 -month time frame.
I strongly ask that you support this project and be instrumental in helping our community.
