Dear Mayor and Honorable City Council Members:
I am Nathan Zug, the Executive Director of JMh – Anaheim / Love Anaheim.
I am in support of Item 11 on the December 12, 2023 City Council Meeting Agenda. This item
would continue the successful Community Care Response Team (CCRT) Homeless Housing,
Assistance and Prevention Program Subrecipient Agreement with Kingdom Causes, Inc., dba City
Net.
I met the City Net leadership in 2013, and for the past ten years, I have partnered with them closely to
address homelessness in Anaheim. City Net has grown to become a valuable partner in the city’s
efforts to address homelessness. Their work in engaging homeless neighbors where they are living
unsheltered is a critical component to the overall system of care which is working so well in the city.
JMh / Love Anaheim has partnered with City Net on multiple projects and programs including the
“Better Way Anaheim” Program launched in 2017, which is still going strong. In 2021 during the
Pandemic JMh / Love Anaheim partnered formally with City Net at one of the emergency quarantine
facilities the city established in a resort district hotel, to house our most vulnerable homeless
neighbors.
These partnership opportunities have given me an insider’s look at City Net as an overall
organization, and I believe them to be committed to solutions, collaborative, compassionate,
knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I believe City Net operates with integrity and holds themselves to
the highest standards - I support them both personally and professionally. I respectfully support
item 11 to continue the City Net CCRT program.
Sincerely,
Nathan Zug
JMh – Anaheim / Love Anaheim Executive Director
