Dear Mayor Robert Garcia,
The problem of homelessness in the city of Long Beach is becoming more prevalent. It’s beginning to affect the local community and the citizens are beginning to voice their opinions on the matter. My team and I have proposed a solution to combat the issue and to also provide support to those who are homeless. We are writing to you to ask for your support in making our proposal a reality.
Homelessness affects children and families by causing a weariness of not meeting basic needs and safety concerns. Families and children feel less safe in the city due to seeing so many homeless and always thinking they can approach them and do something. According to the city of Long Beach press releases, “Findings of the 2022 Homeless Point in Time Count, the first count conducted in two years due to the pandemic, reveal that Long Beach identified 3,296 people experiencing homelessness on February 24, 2022.” Due to the high number of homelessness, an intervention program would be very favorable to the city of Long Beach.
We propose a multi-component resource-finding program that assists individuals facing homelessness in the City of Long Beach. Homelessness is an issue that deeply impacts all aspects of an individual's life, and as a developed urban city, many resources are available. However, these available resources are hard to find/access when an individual lacks necessities. A multi-component resource-finding program will support individuals experiencing homelessness to find resources that assist them with shelter, job, and financial assistance, assistance applying for government resources(i.e., Food stamps, section 8), among other methods that will support the individual in reintegrating into society.
Concerning homelessness in the city of Long Beach, change is highly needed to improve the city in many aspects, including the safety of community members and homeless people. As mayor of the city, you can provide funding as well as endorse this cause and multicomponent resource program. As mayor, you know the importance of every community member meeting their basic needs as well as safety experiences throughout the beautiful city of Long Beach. Any further questions about our multi-component prevention programs are accepted upon request.
Sincerely,
Analee G. Myriam C. Desmond J.
