Subject: Fwd: 90-day Plan: Improving Homeless Services to Our Community 4/4/2023 Reference : Item 28. 23-294 Proposed 90-Day Plan to Address Homelessness in Huntington Beach My review of this 90 Day Plan finds its' content to be too broad-brush planning for budget expenditures which fails to describe any real specifics to deal with the Homelessness problems plaguing Huntington Beach. As of 3/31/2023 staff edited revised plan still suffers from no criteria proposed for measures of benefits to be achieved vs the underlying issues facing the city. In this version staff offer a plan to seek consultant help to create criteria to evaluate the effectiveness. That's nice but still no criteria proposed. A plan for a set of criteria isn't really responsive to the council's request at the last meeting! With this disappointing response I recommend this plan still isn't really for HBCC action.

1. Receive and file this report; and B) Approve the proposed 90-Day Plan.
My review of this 90 Day Plan finds its' content to be too broad-brush planning for budget expenditures which fails to describe any real specific to deal with the Homelessness problems plaguing Huntington Beach. Furthermore, there are no criteria proposed for measures of benefits to be achieved vs the underlying issues facing the city. Perhaps this could be described as "how to begin analysis paralysis" as well as further bloating the current budget expenditures for added bureaucracy. Recommendation: Send this back to staff for rework, it is not ready for primetime!

Subject: The 90 Day Homeless Plan.
I found it amusing watching Natalie Moser make every effort to Slam this 90-Day Plan. What good is a plan that they can not adjust based on all the information they have uncovered? Shall we be forced to box ourselves in a plan without flexibility and the ability to extend the plan based on the information it has uncovered? that would only lead to another Failure. I find Natalies Moser's criticisms Ironic, this after her 832 days of Misconceptions, Misinformation, and Outright Lies spread by her and the HB Homeless United, that these people are on our streets due to a lack of housing. This was a Highjacking from the reality of the many people on our streets that are not seeking housing, they gave that up for their Addictions and Mental IlInesses. Without systems in place to treat their root causes, giving them housing will only enable their lifestyle choices. Natalie put out a call to her HB Homeless United to show up and speak in favor of their cause, we must open our eyes to the fact that HB Homeless United are Not Homeless Advocates and are hiding their Political Party's support for the States Push for High-Density Developments under a guise of a Homeless Faith Group. Natalie even took a Second Stab at this plan by placing the HBPD Chief on the spot to ask if any enforcement plans were modified?, he stated no modification of the plan, but what we have seen is the uptick of enforcement of the plan. Another Fail in Natalies Efforts to sway the story.

Subject: Opinion on Items 16 and 17- Please let me know you have read this Dear Huntington Bach City Council
1. I ask you to vote in favor of Agenda Item # 16- The Housing Element, which the Huntington Beach Planning Administration Staff with Community Input, has worked tirelessly on, for over two years. Many of the reasons to pass it, have been stated, many times by many people.
1. There is a need for affordable housing in HB, for seniors, the disabled, single parents, young professionals, for the adult children of HB residents, and the people who work and serves us in HB, that cannot afford to live here.
2. It will provide living units for many of those graduating from the Navigation Center.
3. It will enrich our aging community.
4. Identified sites do not negatively impact wildlife sanctuaries, migration and the wetlands.
5. It will avoid negative consequences from the state, financially and also loss of revenue for our existing programs, for those who are homeless.
At this point many people are being misled, by false rhetoric, "high density". I hope that you will do the right thing as this will part of your legacy.
I ask you to vote yes on Item 17-90 Day Plan to Address Homelessness while maintaining our excellent service for those experiencing homelessness; The Navigation Center, The Homeless Task Force, The HB Cares Program, The Be Well Mobile Unit, AHF Housing, and Jamboree Housing. These are all important programs, to address the needs of those who are homeless and the residents of HB.
Again- Please do the right thing- This is your legacy.
Remember the Bible Verse- Matthew 25:40- "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters, you did for me"
