HOMELESSNESSSM <br />August 15, 2023 <br />TO: Mayor Valerie Amezcua and Councilmembers, City of Santa Ana <br />RE: Support for Agenda Item 8: Interest for Street Medicine Program with CalOptima Health <br />Orange County United Way (OCUW) writes today to express our support for the City of Santa Ana to <br />explore participating in the expansion of a Street Medicine Program with CalOptima Health. <br />The City of Santa Ana has made tremendous strides in the development of permanent supportive housing <br />as well as immediate shelter responses. In coordination with the Santa Ana Housing Authority and <br />nonprofit partners, the horizon for Santa Ana to solve homelessness is closer than many other Orange <br />County cities. <br />As we support the efforts of Santa Ana to provide necessary care to its most vulnerable residents, we <br />encourage you to continue to look beyond these efforts toward housing solutions for all unhoused <br />residents of your city. <br />We are grateful to be partners together in solving homelessness and look forward to your continued <br />focus on fostering communities in which all people have a safe and stable place to call home. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lawrence R. Armstrong <br />Chair, United End Homelessness Leadership Council <br />18012 Mitchell South, Irvine, CA 92614 <br />► •• 0 <br />info(0)UnitedToEndHomelessness.org <br />UnftedTbEndHome1essness.org <br />#EndHame1essness0C <br />Becks Heyhoe <br />Executive Director, United to End Homelessness <br />0 ra n ge Cou My Un ited Way <br />
