City and county governments must work together with local organizations, businesses, and residents <br />to solve the many problems at the root of the homelessness crisis: public land availability, mental health <br />services, unemployment, job training, assistance in transitions to new living situations, rent control, eviction <br />moratoriums, and many other complex and intertwined issues. Otherwise, these people who are already <br />struggling will continue to be moved around without any of the problems actually being solved. <br /> <br />Another major issue that needs to be addressed is the unequal and unfair distribution of people <br />experiencing homelessness throughout Orange County. It's clear that these folks come from many areas around <br />the county, but Santa Ana alone is continually burdened with the overwhelming task of solving these problems. <br /> <br />Taking legal action against Centro Cultural de Mexico for the incidents currently occurring there will not solve <br />the complex range of problems connected with this issue; it will only result in further finger-pointing and <br />blaming that continues to ignore the people who are suffering the most. <br /> <br />Please do the right thing. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Greg C. <br />92701 <br />3 <br />
