Request for Reasonable Accommodation <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />E.H. is a 55-year-old man with physical disabilities. He visits MHA-OC daily, <br />where he receives housing navigation services, meals, clean clothes, and <br />showers. These services help E.H. maintain his dignity and connection to the <br />community. He also utilizes the on-site mobile health clinic. MHA-OC is the <br />only place where he can access barrier-free services. Without MHA-OC, he <br />would lose vital support that sustains his life. <br /> <br />S.M. is a 37-year-old lifelong Orange County resident with mental and physical <br />disabilities, including ADD, anxiety, PTSD, paranoia with suicidal ideation, and <br />sleep apnea. His sleep apnea leaves him vulnerable, as he frequently falls <br />asleep in public and has his belongings stolen. MHA-OC provides him a safe <br />place to rest, psychiatric care, medication management, and transportation to <br />appointments. The support he receives at MHA-OC has significantly reduced <br />his suicidal ideations. If the South Main Street Site closes, he will be left without <br />a safe place to manage his disabilities. <br />Conclusion <br />Our clients lack the income to afford housing and the ability to access essential <br />services anywhere other than at MHA-OC. Without MHA-OC, our clients would <br />be denied access to a homeless program that meets their vital needs, helping <br />them survive and manage the symptoms of their disabilities. <br />If you would like to further discuss these requests, please contact me at <br />lili.graham@disabilityrightsca.org. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Lili Graham <br />Attorney, Disability Rights California <br /> <br />cc: City Attorney Sonia R. Carvalho <br />Assistant City Attorney Kyle Nellesen <br />Deputy City Attorney Jose Montoya <br />Stephen A. McEwen; Mark J. Austin: Attorneys for Plaintiffs CITY OF SANTA <br />ANA and THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA and Cross- <br />Defendant CITY OF SANTA ANA
