<br />The language in the Settlement Agreement article 3 may be confusing due to wordsmithing, but even that seems to be <br />apparent that it is 200 beds from The Link plus another 250 for a total of 450 beds. Section 3.2 and 3.3 are the confusing <br />areas but section 3.5 seems to clarify that by referencing the number of placements equal to The Link and the Additional <br />Shelter (i.e. 200 plus 250). <br /> <br /> <br />Regardless, Judge Carter clarified this matter in his ruling in Doc 390. Can you provide information to the public stating: <br />1. How many qualifying shelter beds (qualify under the Settlement Agreement) the city of Santa Ana has <br />presently? <br />2. How many shelter beds are required for the City of Santa Ana to be able to enforce its Anti-Camping <br />Ordinances? If this number is something less than 450 beds, please provide how this is reconciled with Judge <br />Carter’s Order in Document 390 of this case. <br />3. Is the City currently enforcing its Anti-Camping Ordinances? <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br />I ask that you continue to pursue a Housing First methodology focused on true housing for those experiencing <br />homelessness. Housing with a lock from the inside. Housing that provides necessary services such as addiction <br />treatment, mental health services, job training and placements, and general life skills. Please also provide the public <br />information to help us understand the Settlement Agreement that was entered into almost 2-years ago to the day. By <br />providing this information, it would fee like everything is transparent and needed/desired information is being provided. <br /> <br />I know everyone works hard on this topic. I do not believe that you are turning a blind eye to those in need. Thank you <br />for caring and listening. <br /> <br />Blessing to each of you, your families, and the residents of your Ward and our City as a whole, <br /> <br />Tim Johnson <br />Ward 3 Resident <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />
