Subject: RE: Motel Program & EIH for Unhoused San Jose Residents [External Email. Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources. Learn more] You don't often get email from Learn why this is important Dear Councilmember,
My name is Dustin Hunt, I'm a local voter and member of SV DSA.

I am disturbed to see the city of San Jose forcing out formerly unhoused residents of Casa Linda, and am urging for an option for these residents to stay. They are being required to sign a contract forcing them to move within 3 days of EIH becoming available.

These residents were promised by HomeFirst that they would be allowed to stay for one year at the motel. They up their shelters and belongings to move to Casa Linda and it is not okay to prematurely force them out - the middle class members of our city would not accept being treated like this, and neither should anyone in poverty. I believe the motel residents should be given time and transparency of information to make an informed and unrushed decision on whether to move to EIH.

Sincerely,
Dustin Hunt
