Kiara Santos Santa Ana, CA 92703 03-05.2025 The Honorable Valerie Amezcua Santa Ana City Hall 20 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 Dear Valerie Amezcua, I am one of your constituents and I am writing this letter in regards to the issue with homelessness that I have noticed lately in Santa Ana. This is a pretty important issue in regards to Santa Ana because the lack of attention to crises like these bring this city down, Society is very critical, and tends to be very judgemental with homeless problems. Me personally as well, I can't help but feel that I should help people on the streets. I don't know if I'm considered empathetic, but I feel terrible seeing families in struggling conditions and situations. I want to try and help at least a little bit. I remember once witnessing a family on the streets with their tents once, and my morn made a comment about how terrible it must be like that, Homelessness is becoming a big issue most people refuse to talk about, and we should do something about it. Installing homeless shelters that actually benefit the homeless, and setting events or organizations that could help these people in need to get their life back together. I have done some research regarding this issue, citing from the Santa Ana, Official Government website it had stated that maintaining a job and finding affording housing has been difficult and became a reason why many people may not be in stable conditions. Inflation has made house rent very high, and jobs have been very critical and even a few times shown injustice to their employees. I have even heard teenagers around my age, struggling to find a job because they are still young, and inexperienced. This may also contribute to these crises, As many people struggle to find a job for various reasons. Trying to live a comfortable life at least is almost like, a hike to Mt. Everest. We should offer financial assistance, that could be organizations, or presentations about this issue and what the people can do, I have given you a few solutions that you can choose from, and I hope you can make time of your day to think about at least I if not a few. You could install homeless shelters that can actually benefit these people, as many I've heard about have treated people terribly. Providing them food, a better place to sleep, and assisting them through the process of a job and being financially stable to live on their own, You could also set out meetings or presentations for people, discussing the topic about finance and how to handle it properly. This can really benefit teenagers who may be struggling with their money and how to handle it. 1 hope to see this issue being worked on. Thank you for your time reading this, I appreciate it, Sincerely, Kiara Santos
