RE: Grandma's House of Hope's proposed Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (DEV2021-06016) at
626 N. West St., Anaheim
Dear Members of the Anaheim City Council:
The Orange County Community Foundation has been actively engaged in the Anaheim
community through a long history of grantmaking and leadership of the ACT Anaheim initiative
founded by Disneyland Resort, Angels Baseball and the Anaheim Ducks. We remain deeply
committed to strengthening the safety net that allows all Anaheim residents to thrive.
I am writing in support of your Planning Department staff's recommendation for approval of
the above -referenced project by Grandma's House of Hope to address the homelessness crisis
facing Anaheim.
We believe that Grandma's House of Hope (GHH) has the expertise to operate this project in an
effective, diligent and reputable manner.
GHH's housing services, provided for the last 17 years, have earned GHH a stellar reputation
with its peers and partners. Its work has resulted in four contracts with the OC Healthcare
Agency (three to provide housing/services to those with a mental health diagnosis), two with
CALOES in Sacramento for Victims of Crime, and CESH funding to provide housing and services
for victims of domestic violence. Success in moving participants to permanent housing within
12 months is 65%, among the highest in the county.
The City's Planning Department staff report supported approval of the Conditional Use Permit
sought by Grandma's House of Hope. The OC Healthcare Agency administers the contracts
annually and holds GHH in high regard.
The Orange County Community Foundation strongly encourages support of this project for the
well-being of Anaheim and the broader Orange County community.
Sincerely,
�11
