My beloved spouse passed away in 2019 from stomach cancer, worried sick about how to make rents meet. If I move to another space at the same park, my monthly rent goes up by at least $300 per month, and even more if I move to another park in Santa Ana. After the COVID-19 global pandemic, given my health condition and high-risk classification, no one would dare take me in. So I am stuck with nowhere to go, living precariously on the brink of eventual homelessness. Thank you in advance for rescuing me with your critical "Rent Stabilization and Eviction Protection" ordinance by voting YES tonight. In politics, as well as in life, DOING THE RIGHT THING is always hard; but as duly elected officials who have sworn to "protect and serve" your own community, if you don't do it, who will? Your bold action will make such a big difference for your suffering constituents, who are being marginalized and wrongfully demonized, by the self-serving propaganda of bad landlords/property managers, along with their "lying hypocrites" lobbyists. I would like to think that we at Bali Hi still have a kind-hearted benevolent owner, who shows caring and appreciation for his best paying customers over the years, and not try to convert this senior park into a more profitable family park. In summary, the EMERGENCY RESCUE measure in the form of a citywide ordinance will save countless lives in the city of Santa Ana, including my own. Hopefully, Santa Ana's leadership in this area will resonate and inspire other municipalities across the nation to do the same for their most vulnerable residents. We are forever in your debt. Sincerely yours, Qui Vuong Lan Hoang, 81 years old (Bali Hi Mobile Home Lodge) Chúng tôi là Lê Trị 83 tuổi và Hoàng Thái Lan 81 tuổi hiện cư ngụ tại Bali Hi Mobile Home trong 9 năm qua. Chúng tôi sống nhờ tiền SSA và SSI với mức lương cố định $1,600 mỗi tháng trong khi đó chi ra $1,300. Vì thế cuộc sống chúng tôi rất khó khăn. Đây là lần thứ 3 chúng tôi gửi thư thỉnh nguyện này đến Hội Đồng Thành phố xin giúp đỗ bằng cách thông qua chương trình ‘Ổn định giá tiền’ cho thuê nhà và đất. Hôm nay lần thứ 3 Quí vị họp lần chót để hợp thức hóa chương trình Rent Control. Chúng tôi một lần nữa thiết tha mong Quí Hội Đồng tiếp tục cho thông qua một lần cuối chương trình này. Chúng tôi vô cùng biết ơn Quí vị. --- We are Lê Trị (83 years old) and Hoàng Thái Lan (81 years old), currently living in Bali Hi Mobile Home for the past 9 years. We live with the support of SSA & SSI with a monthly fixed income of $1,600 with $1,300 in expenses. Thus, our lives are very difficult. This is the 3rd time we have sent this letter to the City Council to ask for help by passing “rent control.” This is the 3rd and final time you will meet to pass rent control. Again we plead the council to finally pass this ordinance. We sincerely thank you all.
