I moved to Costa Mesa 4 years ago.
Coming to Costa Mesa our housing plans were upended due to COVID, complications with COVID, mental illness in my family , Ana’s not realizing how complicated the housing market in Costa Mesa was and is. After a pending all of our savings and down payment for a home in the hotel and motels here and in Orange County we realized that even though living in Costa Mesa was our dream it wasn’t happening as we expected. But that did not stop Costa Mesa from becoming our home.
The housing situation here is in crisis. Costa Mesa is our home and I have recently went into real estate to better develop an understanding on how to help Costa Mesans own their homes, protect their businesses and learn the levels of ownership and how to make best use of the land.

With education, experience, and a love and commitment to Costa Mesa; I have an understanding of the crisis nature and want to be a part of the best possible solutions as we continue to build a beautiful Costa Mesa. Thank you for your consideration.

Housing and public service grants committee is my interest. With previous contracting experience I cam apply here I think the technical aspects are well served. I live in councilman Chavez's district. As one of few homeowners on my block, Weelo Drive, I can provide valuable feedback from other residents who are often ignored in simple things like permit parking which is only accessible to owners. As a bilingual resident, I find that my.neighbors are often ignored. Its.not fair and I can help.
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? The bike lane, the master plan redevelopment of my district. Adjusting the city's master plan. Opening a street vendor location and offering case workers to navigate the permit.process with the county and to allocate funds for doing so. It shouldn't be the fairgrounds.
Fairview developmental is also interesting.
