Sandro Aguirre <br /> <br />Fountain Valley, CA 92708 <br />3/9/25 <br />The Honorable Valerie Am,ezcua <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />Dear Mrs. Amezcua: <br />I am one of your constituents and I am writing this, letter in regards to homelessness. I <br />believe that one of the biggest problems in Santa Ana is homelessness and by <br />combating this problem Santa Ana can get one step closer towards having a more <br />positive atmosphere and helping the people in our community that are in most need. <br />Homelessness has been a major problem in Santa Ana and many homeless have been <br />dying on the street. In 2022 a report from the Orange County sheriff Department <br />showed that 500 homeless, people died in the streets, an increase of 25.6% in <br />comparison to 2021. About 19% of the 500 deaths were from Santa Ana. <br />Some solutions that I believe could help are RRH(rapid re -housing) and creating a <br />coordinated system to help with homelessness. RRH can help short term with rental <br />assistance. RRH has also been proven to be effective in ending homelessness by <br />getting people that may be homeless in permanent housing. Creating a coordinated <br />system can also help homelessness by commuinities, coming together and expressing <br />their opinions on how they believe the city can help with homelessness. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sandro Aguirre <br />
