Ibarra, Evelyn <br />From: Senior Residents of Metro East < <br />Sent: Monday, December 16, 2024 8:13 AM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Anti Encampment Ordinance <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />We support the Anti Encampment Ordinance with this statement: <br />Homelessness compromises us all. It's not a crime, it is a need that can <br />be filled by a civilized society recognizing that living on the streets 24/7 is <br />unhealthy for everyone. <br />A fair Anti Encampment Ordinance can be the 1st step to Social Services <br />then full time housing, which we all know is the root of the problem. <br />For those who fear this restricts personal freedom, remember that we all <br />must respect some limits on our behavior, especially if it causes damage <br />to others. <br />Our homeless problem is growing. Let's take the 1st step and give societal <br />certainty that it's unacceptable. Filling our temporary shelters can shed <br />light on the need for more permanent affordable housing that's required <br />for everyone's benefit. <br />Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Complex problems are <br />often solved one step at a time. Please vote for the Anti Encampment <br />Ordinance as that first step. <br />Seniors of Metro East <br />1 <br />
