Dear Mr. Taylor,
I am a landlord of one of the properties that Grandma's House of Hope Organization is operating. I understand
that there is an issue with another property that they are trying to get a business license for from the City of
Anaheim.
I would like to express my support for them in this matter. Please see my attached letter.
Best regards,
--
Alan Nguyen

Alan Nguyen, Landlord
Anaheim, CA 90804
To the Anaheim City Council,
Use Permit (DEV2021-06016) located at 626 N. West St., Anaheim, CA 92801. I am a current
in Anaheim and can attest to the fact
that they are very good tenants. GHH operates its program peacefully and takes great care of
the interior and exterior of the property. I am confident that their respectful management will
maintain the property value. In fact GHH has even increased the property value with
renovations or additions made with my permission. I have not had any neighbor complaints
regarding the upkeep of the property or the daily operation of their housing services.
I have been informed that the Planning Department Staff Report recommended approval for
the proposed project. I believe that this project would help address the homelessness crisis
facing Anaheim, and 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 to be fairly housed without discrimination.
Our homeless population is diverse, and ,
including those with mental illness, who are often the most vulnerable. There is a lot of stigma
and misinformation surrounding mental illness; and I would be very discouraged to know that
discrimination had any place in the decision-making process of the Anaheim City Council.
I strongly ask that you support this project and be instrumental in helping our community,
Best regards,
Alan Nguyen
