Together with your leadership, we have made many <br />strides in keeping families together, protecting immigrants, improving housing conditions and availability, and <br />investing in youth. <br />Today, we write to express our support for the Protecting Tenants Act, urging you to implement an immediate <br />moratorium on evictions, rent increases, utility shut offs ad late fees. Those most affected in these times are the <br />uninsured, people over 60 years old, or with a compromised immune system, those who work 2-3 jobs to <br />survive and are at risk of losing their jobs or income, and all of the undocumented residents of our City. In these <br />moments we urgently need to support each other in community so that we can come out of this global <br />emergency. <br />This is why we ask you to take action and protect the most vulnerable amongst us. The Protecting Tenants Act <br />will additionally establish a rental assistance fund, end parking enforcement and street sweeping, end the <br />sweeps on homeless encampments and the confiscation of their belongings, and end debt collection activities. <br />Now more than ever, we need you to protect the right to remain of every Santa Ana resident, and ensure the <br />well-being of children and families of Santa Ana. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions, at ruben.barretonsa-bhc.org. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ruben Barreto <br />Director of Communications <br />Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities <br />Ruben A Barreto <br />Communications Director <br />Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities <br />
