Hi, I’m a constituent from Santa Monica, an CDP Delegate for AD 51, and a member of Indivisible Westside Los Angeles.
I’m concerned about the lack of local support systems to address the growing housing crisis. Experts recommend that the FY2025 Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill includes at least $4.75 billion for essential grants that provide critical assistance, particularly to those experiencing chronic homelessness. According to the New York Times, “In 2023, the hottest on record, heat-related deaths recorded in Maricopa County climbed 52 percent, to 645. Almost half of the people who died were homeless.”
Please take action to ensure a robust FY25 increase in homelessness funding. Thank you for your time and attention.
