Page 2. • Request for more information on cities that have established SB2 Zoning and list of all shelters providing services to OC homeless population to county staff from Susana C. Sandoval. Email to county staff, Juanita Preciado, dated Oct. 1, 2014. Attachment # 6 • Email to Karen Roper requesting Environmental Impact Report and federal environmental justice strategies as mandated by President Clinton in Executive Order dated 1994 ( important because federal funds are being used in connection with the project), emailed August 19, 2014. * These studies have not been done, and county received an Exemption for CEQA (CA Environmental Quality Act). Attachment # 7 • CEQA Notice of Exemption Approved, August 13, 2014. Attachment # 8 • Packet to Elected Officials with cover letter requesting stop to escrow/ homeless shelter location with several attachments documenting poor outreach to the community, and lack of community involvement in process: residents, parents at the surrounding 7 schools and business owners. Attachment # 9 • S82 Ordinance Service Providers /Stakeholders Meeting, May 23, 2012. Very important issues raised and best practice recommendations. Need to revisit these and see what has been accomplished and status on best practice recommendations. Of profound concern are: (1) Need for multiple locations and providers, (2) Find ways for cities to do their "fair share ", (3) What are the environmental safety issues?, (4) Has there been a meeting with business and industrial owners? *Additionally attendees did not include residents and parents, Civic Center Round Table — Homeless participants (from what we can understand from the names listed). We do not see the names of Tim Houchen, Carl Brown, Brizy May, or Massimo Marini - - -- individuals who are advocates for the homeless population (as per statements made — Voice of OC on June 16, 2014 and Register on July 15, 2014), or business owners from sectors throughout the city (as far as we can determine only providers of homeless shelters and service providers targeted for the homeless — all important but business owners from industrial areas and other sectors of city not included) . Attachment # 10 • Model Homeless Shelters and Multi Service Programs in the USA: (1) Path Making it a Home and Path Mall Multi Services — LA county and others, (2) Housing Works Program in Utah, (3) Pathway to Housing in a variety of states —for homeless who suffer from psychiatric disabilities, (4) Denver, 53,192 square foot Multi Service Health Center with 78 apartments to place homeless (59 one bedroom, and 19 two bedroom), and Illumination Foundation — Stanton Multi- Service Center and soon to open in Santa Ana, and places individuals and families in smaller housing units. 85AA -7
