Hello City Council of the City of Anaheim,
I am writing in support of Housing Authority Item 1 and City Council Item 13, as listed on the October 4, 2022 agenda,
each relating to the issuance of funding to support the development of the Buena Esperanza Apartments (2691 West La
Palma Avenue).
Thank you for your continued support for permanent supportive housing in the City of Anaheim as a proven solution to
end homelessness. We are proud of the partnerships that we have with Jamboree Housing and city staff who have
worked together on this development and a commitment to leveraging community resources.
In 2018, Orange County United Way launched United to End Homelessness, a powerful collaboration among Orange
County's top business, philanthropic, government, faith -based, and non-profit leaders committed to ending
homelessness and ensuring housing and services are available for every individual who may need them. United to End
Homelessness has been an influential voice in advocating for housing as the solution to end homelessness, and OCUW
has always supported and maintained that affordable, stable housing is the building block to success.
We appreciate your unique role in bringing housing to support our entire community and look forward to your
affirmative votes tonight.
