Fabian Montero Santa Ana, Ca 02704 3-10-25 The honorable 'Valerie Amezcua Mayor of Santa Ana Santa Ana City Hall 20 Civic Center plaza Santa Ana, CA 92701 Good Morning Mrs. Valerie Amezcua, My name is Fabian Montero. I am one of your constituents and I am writing this letter to you regarding the homeless. Homeless are a problem to this society because they harass and sometimes assault civilians, for example a couple weeks back me and my cousin went to the 7/11 off 1st and harbor. Before we went inside there was a homeless man and woman yelling at us asking "WHO'' ARE WE, HERE", and even went inside the store until the 7/11. employee had asked him to leave. This shows how homeless are a burden to civilians , and how people can't go to a 7/11 without getting harassed. What provokes homelessness is how tough it is to get a job and not only get one, but sustain one. This is true as a lot of jobs won't want to hire them because of their- situation, and because jobs judge based on how they look. Another reason why it is so hard for them to get a job is because they may not have a diploma or the education they need to secure the job. It is also hard for them to keep a job before they have no form of transportation, and when they need money to buy a new uniform for work. This shows how sustaining and maintaining a job may provoke the homeless to harass or assault civilians. A couple Solutions that might work are looking into making more homeless shelters that provide everything they need until they can get back on their feet and possibly get their own place. Another solution is, not as strict protocol for homeless people as they might not get to work on time everyday. In Conclusion, I hope I can see less homeless people in the next year or 2, and more homeless shelters. Sincerely, Fabian Montero
