To the Anaheim City Council,
I am writing this letter of support of Grandma's House of Hope and the proposed
Conditional Use Permit(CUP) (DEV2021-06016) located at 626 N West St., Anaheim, CA
92801. 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 that Grandma's House of Hope (GHH) has and
will operate this project in a reputable and considerate manner.
The US Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate in the sale or rental of housing,
including against individuals seeking housing assistance, or other housing -related
activities. The Fair Housing Act prohibits this discrimination because of race, color,
national origin, religion, sex, familial status, and disability. This law was enacted to help
level the field, and not allow a few immoral individuals to discriminate against their
neighbors. Denying GHH's conditional use permit because my neighbors don't want
"those people" living in their neighborhood goes against the soul of the Fair Housing Act
and goes against our very own moral and ethical obligations to serve and help out our
community.
I strongly ask that you support this project and be instrumental in helping our
community. Anaheim should be the standard for all of Orange County, and we must
lead the way by our passionate compassion and willingness to help or allow others to
help our neighbors.
Best,
Sandra Pickrell-Hernandez
