I encourage everyone to have a part <br />in the solution to rotate the annual cold weather shelter throughout different cities within the different <br />Service Planning Area's (SPA). It is imperative that all cities in Orange County take responsibility to <br />serve homeless individuals during the cold weather season. <br />The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) initiated Continuums of Care (CoCs) <br />that include a wide range of representatives from various public and private entities, rich in Orange <br />County, are charged with promoting and implementing evidence -based, best, promising, and emerging <br />practices for preventing and ending homelessness. I commend the city of Santa Ana for participating in <br />the California Continuum of Care. Santa Ana has been doing their fair share to service this vulnerable <br />population by providing shelter opportunities with local providers as well as permanent supportive <br />housing, and mental health service outreach. <br />I respectfully request that you continue to work with Orange County's wide range of representatives and <br />entities that assist to protect the vulnerable homeless individuals in our cities. I thank you for your <br />attention to this important matter. <br />Respectfully, <br />`t <br />ez�kliis Corre <br />Member of Congress <br />CORREA.HOUSE GOV <br />
