Santa Ana City Council <br />zo Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 9Z701 <br />Dear Santa Ana Council Members, <br />Ayden Yepez <br /> <br />Santa ana CA, 9Z703 <br />I'm writing this letter to express my concern over the homelessness issue in our <br />city, recently, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of homeless <br />individuals in our community and this has led to several issues that need to be <br />addressed <br />One major issue is the mess that is often left behind in public places and <br />unfortunately in private properties, as well, many residents' homes have been <br />trespassed multiple times and often had things stolen by these individuals. This not only <br />creates a sense of insecurity but also affects the overall quality of life in our <br />neighborhood. Every time I walk out of my home I have to see a huge mess that they <br />leave behind either it's their belongings, clothes all over the place, or their feces. <br />I understand that homelessness is a complex issue that requires quires a compassionate <br />and comprehensive approach. Therefore, I urge the city council to consider <br />implementing more effective solutions such as increasing funding for shelters, <br />providing mental health and addiction services, and creating job, training programs to <br />help individuals get back on their feet. Additionally, enhancing law enforcement efforts <br />to prevent trespassing and theft would also be beneficial in addressing the immediate <br />concerns of the residents <br />Thank you for your attention. I am confident that with the right measures, we an <br />work towards creating a safer and more supportive environment for everyone in our <br />city <br />
