Our letter to the President

Dear President Obama,

Please take action to end America’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis. We need:
  • More section 8 vouchers immediately
  • Build public housing to meet the need
  • Full funding of the National Housing Trust Fund
  • Stop foreclosures

Mr. Obama,

The letter above addresses the other issues affecting low-income people, so I think I should take a stand on the question of General Assistance in San Jose, California. It is $147.00 a month. After rent, water, and electricity I have $0.00 left over. I recently was trained to be a Sterile Processing Distribution Tech with a starting pay of $26.00 an hour. Where and when will people doing positive things in the G.A. system get a break? When will there be a raise or a stimulus for us?
