RE: Park Hill affordable housing funding – Please Approve!
Dear Mayor and City Councilmembers,
My name is Claudia Flores and I am resident of Los Vecinos an affordable community here in Chula Vista that is owned and operated by Wakeland Housing.
I’m writing to share how affordable housing has made a difference in my life and urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing development that Wakeland Housing proposes to build at 545 East Naples Street.
The problem we faced prior to moving to Los Vecinos was very expensive rents and sacrificing time with my family to have one more job for extra income.
Since we have lived here, It has been a change for the better, because the lower cost helps us in this economy and so I can pay for a course at school to prepare for a better future while still being able to work and spend time with my family.
It also helps that we have resident services on site to help me with medical applications, help for programs that benefit my family and provides us with services such as backpacks in school season.
We like that there are different things to help us like the painting classes, the walk that helps me when I'm stressed, plus the motivation that Isabel gives me is always helpful.
It’s important to have affordable housing because there are many families that use this help, so that they do not sacrifice so much time being away from their families and be able like me, to get an education and provide a better future for our children.
We are very grateful to have this kind of aid.
From my experience with Wakeland, I believe the Park Hill affordable housing development will be a welcome addition to the City of Chula Vista because it will benefit both residents who live there and the wider community.

First, it will improve the neighborhood by turning extra land owned by the Church into an affordable housing community that will create stability and pathways to success for working families like mine.
Second, it ensures this location will continue to serve members of our community who may otherwise not be able to afford to live in this city that they love.
For these reasons, I urge you to approve funding for the Park Hill affordable housing community.
Sincerely,
Claudia Flores
