<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Consent Calendar Item #62 - Support for WISEPlace <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dear City Council and Special Housing Authority, <br /> <br />On behalf of Chapman University, I am writing to express enthusiastic support for WISEPlace and <br />its efforts to develop supportive housing for women experiencing homelessness, some of Orange <br />County's most vulnerable citizens for whom there has been a longstanding housing shortage. <br /> <br />As active members of the community who appreciate and have a passion for historical significance, <br />Chapman University is pleased to support this solution to ending homelessness through this <br />development and wrap around services provided by WISEPlace. <br /> <br />We are pleased to see the groundwork that has gone into exploring the existing WISEPlace <br />location. Maintaining the historic integrity of the location, and restoring it, while creating housing <br />for vulnerable women will create an important solution that has never been specifically addressed <br />in Orange County. A place where women can live paying no more than 30% of their income in <br />rent along with support services to address their disabling conditions will create a stable <br />environment where they can thrive. <br /> <br />This opportunity to provide affordable housing at this existing location can create a welcome <br />solution to a growing community need. I am pleased to express my strong support for this initiative. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Daniele C. Struppa <br />Chapman University
