Dear Council members
I am again submitting my comments in writing as unable to attend in person meetings. COVID and other
responsibilities at home have limited my abilities to attend in person. I faithfully tune in to watch but that is as
far as I can reach. Again I ask that you open your meetings to a hybrid style of delivery so more can participate
"live". Comments tucked away in a file are not as impactful nor allow for real time incorporation of what else is
going on in chambers. I have not gotten a response from my council member for months. So much for two way
communication. Do you not want to hear from your community and impacted persons?
Item 23 - Grandma's House of Hope
I am writing in support of the program offered by Grandma's House of Hope. As always I would expect
oversight and management to be top notch with residents interests and needs always at the fore front!
The narrative being run by dissenters includes inaccurate and misleading information AGAIN. The hurtful
nature is very telling. The location is perfect. The plans complete and the resources are there. If only you had
been so diligent in prior applications. This one will change and save lives. Likely familiar to all here against but
unwilling to face the reality of the needs for help in our community and likely their families.
Please approve this application.
Now for you to address other affordable housing needs.
Public Comment
"Little Arabia distinction"
The idea that this Council is unable to even agendize a conversation about the Little Arabia is so telling and
disgusting! What world do each of you live in that you are unable to recognize the value of this community?
What don't you understand about inclusion and diversity so rich here in Anaheim? The comment about Stater
Brothers future and other dog whistles are even below what I have come to expect of folx on this body. Your
leadership in this city is damaging in so many ways. Quite painful to watch.
The economic prosperity in this area is key to the district. I find the area most welcoming and businesses are
good neighbors to each other. Now you must move forward in Designating the area Little Arabia with the
respect it deserves.
