Exhibit 3 <br />The following is feedback from the listening session. Feedback includes suggestions, <br />questions, insight and concerns that the Community Development Housing <br />Commissioners would like to see focused on: <br />Outreach <br />• The SMART Team seems reactionary. The City needs to be more proactive. <br />• What does SMART Team do versus Santa Ana Police Department? When does <br />one start and the other take over? <br />Shelter & Housing <br />• The homeless population along Lincoln is growing. Santa Ana is a dumping <br />ground for other cities' homeless. <br />• Santa Ana should look at what other cities are doing successfully. Being unhoused <br />is the biggest issue. Do a deeper dive into the program and where money should <br />be allocated. <br />Mental Health <br />• Some of the homeless suffer from mental illness. <br />• Panhandlers with signs: She saw a sign in Newport Beach telling people not to <br />give money to panhandlers. Maybe this should be done in Santa Ana. <br />Public Safety <br />• Is there funding that can be used for dealing with the problems created by <br />homelessness? <br />*This event was advertised on the City's social media, and mailed to residents on the <br />Orange County Continuum of Care mailing list. <br />
