compassionate and willing to do more with permanent supportive housing. We also support <br />relocating the Courtyard shelter to a more appropriate building and site within Santa Ana. <br />Chairman Do is a good man trying to help solve the homeless crisis. Unfortunately, most of the <br />resources and the associated impacts are in his district. He is receiving push back from the City of <br />Santa Ana because the neighborhoods and businesses have seen a significant increase in the <br />homeless population in the last year. His frustrations with the City were evident on June 5'. In <br />reality, his frustration should be with his colleagues and cities outside his district. <br />The following points comprise the reasons that Santa Ana needs relief and assistance from other <br />cities in Orange County: <br />County Funded Beds (Building the System of Care Report April 17, 2018 — page 41) <br />Forty-nine percent (641) of these beds are in Santa Ana. As a result of the original agreement <br />reached with your court, the County and the riverbed attorneys, 76 beds additional beds <br />were created for a total of 717. Santa Ana was not a party to the original lawsuit and was not <br />consulted about adding these beds but has agreed to them. In comparison, Anaheim Bridges at <br />Kraemer has 193-200 beds and the Fullerton Armory has about 216. <br />July 16, 2018 — Armories will close <br />The current homeless count at each armory is about 120 people. There is no space at the current <br />shelters to house these individuals. The Courtyard and Bridges at Kraemer are essentially <br />full. Furthermore, the Fullerton armory is slated to close permanently based on an agreement <br />reached with the cities and County. No similar agreement was reached with Santa Ana, so the <br />Santa Ana armory must remain open next year and the Fullerton armory will close. <br />Origins of Homeless Individuals(Building the System of Care Report — page 10) <br />Based on client entries from July 2017 to January 2018, 50% of the individuals housed at the <br />Courtyard were from outside of the Central Service Planning Area. <br />Engagement with Encampments(Building the System of Care Report — page 40) <br />Of the 697 individuals from the riverbed that were motel -sheltered, 359 individuals declined any <br />sort of services or shelter or left before they could be assessed. <br />Of the 234 individuals at Santa Ana Civic Center, 135 individuals declined assistance/left area <br />without linkage <br />Bottom line, 494 individuals declined assistance/shelter or left before being assessed. Where <br />are they now? They are in our parks, neighborhoods, and city streets. <br />Santa Ana Point In Time Count (Homeless Impact on Santa Ana — April 3, 2018 report) The count <br />was conducted on March 31, 2018. The result— 1030 unsheltered homeless that represents 564 <br />additional homeless in Santa Ana since the 2017 point in time count. This number is close to <br />the 494 individuals that declined any sort of services or shelter. <br />3 <br />
