Home Browse Search

We are Hang and Anthony Kennedy, living at Kona Kai Mobile Home Park. We ask the elected officials to intervene and help residents like us, people who are being cornered in a dead end by the increased rent that's too high at 6%. All of us are seniors with low and fixed incomes. Currently the general living cost and everything else keeps rising, in addition the rising cost of rent each year will bring us to a place of no escape. We hope and are sincerely grateful for the concern and support of each council member of Santa Ana in this issue to help the residents of Kona Kai have a present and a future.

After working from 1989 to 2012, the retirement money that my wife and I make total less than $1,200. If one of us dies then we will not have enough money to pay the rent which increases by 6% each year. Please help us avoid becoming homeless in the future and negatively impacting the city of Santa Ana.

We are Larry T Dang and Net Nguyen living at Kona Kai Mobile Home. We are retired and do not receive much through SSA, but we have to pay a high amount for our space. So we are always in need and struggle. I ask that the city of Santa Ana save us by: • Passing Rent Control • Not making us become homeless • Stopping the owner of the park from abusing the power to raise our rent each year • Helping elderly and retired people after they can no longer work and contribute to society. Qui Vuong, 58 years old (Bali Hi Mobile Home Lodge) Hello everyone: My name is Qui Vuong, 59, a typical senior resident living on fixed income at Bali Hi, currently being devastated by unreasonable rent increases by the new property management company since 2017. My current monthly income is $957. 1 will not receive my social security checks until I am at least 62 years old. Including utilities for my high risk, immune system compromised disabilities, my monthly housing cost comes to $1,096 this past month. That makes my ratio of "housing cost to income" a whopping 116%!
