Best, david <br /> David Cavazos/City Manager <br /> City of Santa Ana <br /> 20 Civic Center Plaza, M31/Santa Ana,CA 92701 <br /> From: Brown, Judson <br /> Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2016 11:10 AM <br /> To: Cavazos, David <br /> Cc: Cortez, Robert <br /> Subject: Check-in Center at SATT <br /> Mr. City Manager, <br /> In April, I met with Larry Haynes from Mercy House, the Civic Center Roundtable, and Project <br /> Homelessness to discuss our plan to implement a Mobile Check-in Center on Ross Street. All three <br /> parties were not in favor of the Mobile Check-in Center for the following reasons below: <br /> 1) The mobile check-in center would only serve 40 individuals and funds would not be sufficient to <br /> cover additional vehicles and bathrooms. <br /> 2) Not enough restrooms would be provided to serve everyone. <br /> 3) Restrooms and bathrooms directly in front of the library would cause more concern than <br /> already exists from library staff and patrons. <br /> 4) There would be a violation of trust if belongings are taken and removed from the area. <br /> 5) It cannot be done with one single service provider. <br /> 6) Residents have too many belongings to store in a mobile check-in center. <br /> 7) There is not enough space for a mobile check-in center on Ross Street. <br /> 8) There would be a traffic problem in the morning and afternoon. <br /> 9) Waking up residents early to store their items will not work or be used. <br /> 10)There would be inequity and discontent in the selection process to serve 40 individuals out of <br /> the total population with the limited available space. <br /> After further review with Mercy House and the County of Orange, staff recommended that we <br /> continue discussions with the County to use the Santa Ana Transit Terminal as the location for a <br /> Check-in Center in alignment with the resolution being considered by the Mayor and City Council <br /> tonight. <br /> Thank you, Robert, our Mayor and City Council for your leadership and direction, <br /> Judson Brown <br /> Housing Division Manager <br /> 1 <br />
