To the Honorable Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I am writing in support of the decisions to transition the North Harbor Anaheim Permanent Supportive Housing
Apartments (formerly the Studio 6 Motel) from interim housing to permanent housing.
I frequently drive past this location and I was very pleased when I found that it was being renovated toward this type of
necessary housing for Orange County.
While these votes maintain continuity with the Homekey Program goals, I want to acknowledge and appreciate the work
of the Council, Anaheim Housing Authority, Linc Housing Corporation, and American Family Housing for their dedication
to seeing this development through and look forward to the opportunities for each person who will no longer be
unhoused as a result.
I also want to encourage the Council to use this development as an opportunity to consider more supportive housing
development potential throughout the City and work creatively and ambitiously with the Anaheim Housing Authority
and other partners to make the vision of ending homelessness a reality.
Thank you for your dedication and care for all people who call Anaheim home.
