Dear Anaheim City Council,
My name is Kyle Bonenberger and I live within 500 feet of the proposed "Grandma's House of Hope"
transitional home at 626 North West Street.
I am a compassionate person who cares for the least in our society. I often volunteer in several different
organizations who serve this population. I have even personally volunteered for Grandma's House of Hope on
many occasions as an individual and with the church where I pastor, City Church. I have no question about the
goodness of Grandma's House's work and my comments are no reflection upon their fantastic organization.
That being the case, I am strongly opposed to this project as a resident and I urge you to vote no on CUP
2021-06106 (upholding the Planning Commission's 6-0 denial). West street and its surrounding areas are
already saturated with these types of facilities. Allowing yet another one in, especially at this scope and size is
effectively a stamp of approval to open the floodgates for even more. On top of that, this will embolden
currently existing, unlicensed ones. More will continue to come in unbeknownst to the city and to the detriment
of our good residents. West and Central Anaheim are already bearing the burden of the homeless
rehabilitation/transition within our city and within Orange County as a whole. This is unfair and it is high time
for other parts of Anaheim and Orange County to step up to the plate to bear the burden we already are.
Thank you for listening.
Kyle Bonenberger
