Tran trong kinh chao, Thu Anh My name is Thu Anh 59 years old, living at Bali Hi Mobile Homes for 1 year. In this year, they have increased my land lease by $50 and are continuing to increase it. I worry for my livelihood because I thought that I was living in a neighborhood (that supports) seniors, but that is not the case. I ask the City Council of Santa Ana to help me worry less in my old age by passing Rent Control so that I can live with human dignity in this great land that is the United States. Sincerely, Thu Anh Huong Luong, 74 years old, and Hang Nguyen, 64 years old (Bali Hi Mobile Home Lodge) Good evening Mayor and members of City Council of Santa Ana, Good evening everybody, My name is Hang Nguyen, 64 and my husband Huong Luong, 74. Today, both of us again join our group of seniors from Balihi Mobilehome Park, coming here, in order to continue contributing our voice in support of Rent Control. So far, you have heard a lot from people everywhere — all the personal stories of hardship, due to the ever- increasing rent, at will by the landlords. We have been struggling to pay the rent, to buy food, to make both ends meet. We have been crying out everywhere for help, we have been struggling to survive. We are living on the brink of homelessness, not knowing when we will lose our shelters. This issue of Rent Increase was brought up several times to the City Council for support but nothing has been done for years. We believe that now is the time for you to do something about this in order to protect the most vulnerable, low fixed income households. We are not asking for Rent DECREASE. We are not asking for FREE Rent. We are just asking for Rent CONTROL, for FAIR Rent! Housing is a human right. Low income families deserve to live with a dignity. You definitely understand that the homeless situation in our community, particularly in Santa Ana, has become very serious. We ask you to help keep this crisis not to be increased, not to get worse.
