Litzy Gonzalez-Najera 3200 W 5th St, Apt 701 Santa Ara, CA 9�2703 Date: March 6, 2025 The Honorable Valerie Amezcua Santa Ana Mayor Santa. Ana City Hall 20 Civic Center Plaza Santa Ana, CA 92.701 Dear Mayor, My name is Litzy Gonzalez-Najera I am one of your constituents and I am writing this letter in regards to the homeless issue going on here in Santa Ana. This topic is important to me because there are so many homeless people everywhere you look in my neighborhood. My idea on fixing this problem is by housing the homeless in a shelter. In an article titled "Santa Ana Ramps up Crackdown on Homeless Encampments, Clears Railroads" by Gigi Gradillas published on October 17, 2024 she quote a conference when they were clearing the railroads site Alvero Nunez said " If they come back to the railroad after it was cleaned they'll get h just citation," This shows that he does not really care about where the homeless people are going to be, e j wants to get rid of them. This matters because instead of just kicking them out he should redirect the homeless people who are in the railroad sites to some shelters in the area. I learned that in California the homeless toll rose by at least 20% since 2020. The way to fix this issue would be to put them in a housing shelter. I believe that we could get more funding to be able to house these people. While being in these shelters they should get an opportunity to work in any way in order to get money. With this money they could start saving up to get a place of their own. l believe homeless people deserve a chance at a normal life without being hated on for being homeless, no one knows the reason these people don't have a shelter, homeless people deserve better Sincerely, - Litzy Gonzalez-Najera
