Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Mayor Amezcua, Mayor Pro Tem Phan, my Ward 3 Councilmember Lopez and all of our City Council…As you consider <br />Item 29 on Tuesday evening, please know this CDBG funding makes a big difference in allowing organiza?ons to provide <br />service to residents in need. I am excited to see WISEPlace’s name on the Public Service Organiza?ons list and urge you <br />to con?nue to support WISEPlace. <br /> <br />As many of you know, WISEPlace is providing extremely needed services right here in Santa Ana. I am pleased to see <br />WISEPlace joined by other organiza?ons on the Public Service list but specifically I am excited about the fact that <br />WISEPlace has been able to work along side our city resources in providing needed housing and services to <br />unaccompanied homeless women. I am excited about the fact that those right nearby the Broadway loca?on, including <br />those in my Ward 3 neighborhood, support WISEPlace. I am excited about the opportuni?es that grants/funding like the <br />ones you are considering with Item 29 help allow WISEPlace to be able to help some of the most vulnerable in our <br />community. <br /> <br />I know that the City has supported WISEPlace before with unanimous support of those on this council as well as past <br />ones. I want you to know that we do not take your support for granted and we are so very thankful for past support and <br />looking forward to con?nuing to work with the city in providing for those in our community. The staff and volunteers <br />work each day to be good stewards of the funds that our city, and hence the residents, trusts us with. This funding <br />allows us to make a big difference in each of the lives of the ladies that we are striving to help towards independence by <br />providing safe shelter, rehousing, and the necessary services that increase likelihood of success including financial <br />literacy, job searches, job training, deposit assistance, and needed addic?on/mental health services. <br /> <br />I urge you to support WISEPlace’s spot in the funding on Tuesday evening. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Tim Johnson <br />Ward 3 Resident <br />WISEPlace President of the Board <br />Tim Johnson , CPA <br /> <br />Partner <br /> <br /> <br />(949) 860-9892 <br /> <br /> <br />(714) 743-1065 <br /> <br />tjohnson@jlkrllp.com <br /> <br /> <br />2601 Main Street, Suite 580, Irvine, CA 92614 <br /> <br />See our latest business news and insights by clicking here <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
