We are very fortunate to have housing assistance. We wish others that we know could have it also. I see too many people on the streets homeless. I grew up in the Bay Area and it wasn't this bad before.
I always pray for homeless people. Please help the people of San Jose, California, and the Bay Area. We need help desperately. I know families who live in cars and motels.

We definitely need housing! I know, because I have section 8 and I definitely could not make it if I didn't have it.
Lynn Huidekoper, Menlo Park, CA
I can barely afford the $1260 a month for a small one-bedroom apartment. It is ridiculous to pay that much.
Kimberly Trinh, San Jose
Please, Mr. President, help us with more housing and assistance to get us on our feet. It is hard to get jobs, and we are facing homelessness.
Nellie Wilson, San Jose
We need more housing assistance. Wages in this area do not pay enough for the high rents here. We need more jobs. You need to stop the outsourcing in this area. We also need to see an end brought to the severe discrimination against certain races by the employers.
Miguel A. Bajo, Lorraine Lopez, Jovany, & Sebastian, San Jose
Pues si estoy de acuerdo con viviendas publicas. Mi familia y yo estamos homeless y necesitamos ayuda, Obama por favor. Y como tu dices, si se puede.
Monica Carrasco, San Jose
Hello Obama, I am homeless. I have been homeless for four years due to being a single parent.
William King, San Jose
I am on the section 8 waiting list. My number is 3500. This seems like a hopeless situation. Please help. I am also disabled and over 50 years old.
Graciela Garcia, San Jose
Mas barata la renta, porque no alcansa lo que ganamos para los billes y renta, por favor.
Martha C. Beattie, San Jose
The situation in Santa Clara County is dire. High unemployment and an enormously high cost of living combine to hurt our most needy in the worst way.
Please help stop foreclosures, authorize more section 8 vouchers, fully fund the National Housing Trust Fund, and provide funds for public housing.
Jesus Magana, San Jose
Necesitamos mas control de las rentas. Los apartamentos son bien caras. En 1999 pagaba por un apartamento $800, ahora pagas $1100. Y con la economia come esta, a donde llegamos a duermir, en las calles con las familias? Y contamos, nuevo Presidente Obama.
Carolyn Cannon, San Jose
I worked for 44 years at three different jobs. Now I have mental and emotional disabilities and not enough money to assist with housing.
Lydia Vargas, San Jose
Obama, I am very happy we have you to support our country. Please put more money to our low-income housing system to HELP the homeless. Thank you.
You are the best, Obama. I will support you always.

Maria Ramirez & Anay, San Jose
Que ya no quiten mas viviendas, y que haiga una solucion para todo. Gracias.
Lois Orchard, San Jose
My family is on section 8 right now and I would like to let you know that, without this funding, we probably would be homeless. More families would benefit from expanding this program. Thank you.
Stephanie Lee, San Jose
Dear Mr. Obama,
I'm sure you have an idea, or in the very least an understanding of how we Americans really live. For example, the $100,000 LED scoreboard recently added to the local high school instead of computers for the kids was and is a waste - or better said, a misguided use of your "change".
The lines for the shelters are full of small children and frustrated parents. Food banks, clothes closets, etc. are all being over-utilized, making these agencies split at the seams. There is an undeniable need for you, Mr. Obama, to help. Public housing is a necessity. Not everyone out here is fortunate enough to be handed anything, so we take what we can get.
Please review your plans for funding where it counts. I hope to be heard - for a change.

These things are needed for the people that can't afford housing. I'm one of them.
Bob Applebaum, San Jose
We can't stimulate the economy with an increased homeless population. We need housing, health care, and education to harness the talents of all.
Estela Velarde, San Jose
Por favor que baje la renta porque esta muy alta y no tenemos trabajo. Y tambien que dejen de quitar las casas. Necesitamos ayuda para pagar nuestras viviendas porque ahorita esta dificil la vida. Y tambien que paren las redadas porque se estan quedando familias separadas. Por favor hagen algo, pedimos que nos escuchen.
Obama, gracias por escucharnos.
Javier Victoria, San Jose, CA
Mr. President,
I am number 48,000 on the section 8 waiting list. It will take me at least 15 years before they call me. Thank you.

Dearest Barack Obama,
Hello, we have been on the wait list for four years. I would appreciate it if you would help out with more section 8 vouchers. I am a mother of three. Your understanding would be greatly appreciated.
Kimberly M. Velasquez, San Jose
With all the money being spent on this war we are partaking in, I really feel something can be done about this country's housing situation. Please help where help is REALLY needed!
Lilia Flores, San Jose
Me gustaria una reforma migratoria, vivienda a bajo costo, un buen trato, y mucho trabajo. Muchas gracias.
Eovalda Hernandez, San Jose
Ayuden a los que estan en el limite entre seguir pagando la hipoteca y perdir la casa.
Marie Velasquez, San Jose
We are in need of more housing. I have been on disability and cannot get low-income housing because of the economy. I was employed for the City of San Jose and I have been homeless for one year because I can't afford rent.
Shelley Ann Neibel, San Jose
Dear Mr. Obama,
You promised us all that a change was coming. I took a leap of faith and voted against all my own beliefs and voted for you - a black president. It was the first time color did not matter. Help us, the people who really believe in change. You promised!
Jesus Rodriguez, San Jose
Urge vivienda para gente indigente de la calle y que estamos buscando trabajo.
Edulia Ortega Medina, San Jose
My family lost our house when our two children, aged 13 and 15, were students at Oak Grove. Francisco is very good at track and field, he runs very fast. Jonathan also goes to school there, and Christopher goes to elementary school and is very good in mathematics.
I want you to stop foreclosures. We paid $4000 a month for three years for our house and then lost it when it was raised to $5000. I am very sad because our family is many people, and now our children have nowhere to live. I need help with money to pay my rent.
I have no food.
I have depression.
I stay sick.
Congratulations, for you are a good man with a good wife and two girls. You have a good family. Thanks. I hope you hear me. Thanks. Thanks.
Carolina L. Medina, San Jose
Please look into the housing problems in San Jose. We really need you, President Obama, to see the heart of all these homeless people in this area. Please do not dismiss our need for more section 8 housing. How would you feel if your children were on the street? Could you yourself survive even one night on the street? Please take these letters into your heart.

Mi comentario es que las rentas estan muy caras en San Jose, y la luz tambien.
John H. Ferris, San Jose
Help to keep our savings accounts sound. Reduce medical costs. Improve transportation between our major cities.
Joseph Brand Sr., San Jose
Dear Pres.,
This is from an 18-year veteran, disabled combat MARINE! Please sir, quit sitting on your hands. Feed the children who have nothing to eat. House your fellow Americans living in the street. Please sir, remember America when it was strong in heart. HAVE ONE. Thanks.
Dorothy L. Mesa, San Jose
I really need section 8 housing. I am constantly moving around because I keep getting foreclosed. Thanks.
Guadalupe Ramirez & Diana, San Jose
Yo soy madre soltera. Tengo dos ninos que dependen de mi. Por el momento no tengo trabajo y me ayudan con estampillas y dinero, pero quisier si es posible que ubiera trabajo para nosotros que estamos necesitando donde vivir con mejores oportunidades.
Charlene Lilie, San Jose
I work with the Santa Clara County drug and alcohol program. We work with homeless women and we have a long waiting list to get into our program. More section 8 vouchers would help these families get stable and get into treatment. Thank you.
Ernesto Chaidez Jr., San Jose
The housing situation is very bad for me, since I am homeless. Also the justice system beginning in Santa Clara County, California needs reform. My son was wrongfully convicted. His name came out in the Mercury News "Tainted Trials, Stolen Justice" series.
Because justice was obstructed by the D.A. and star witnesses in the court, qand nothing was done about it, please instruct the Justice Department to interview my son and myself and intervene in this case.
Juan Cordova & Blanca Hernandez, San Jose
Lo felicitamos mucho y le doy gracias por hacer todo lo ha prometido en tan poco tiempo. Tenemos mucho fe en que pronto nosotros los mexicanos tengamos una legalizacion y se acabe la discriminacion. Dios lo bendiga por retirar las tropas de Iraq. Muchas gracias.
Martha G. Silva Ramirez, San Jose
Senor Obama,
Ojala que su gobierno mejore las condiciones de los inmigrantes y haiga mas trabajo para nosotros. Gracias.
Joanna & Sylvia Gutierrez, San Jose
Hi Mr. Obama,
We need your help please, considering there are a lot of good people and very poor people that deserve opportunities with jobs and housing, especially single moms and children. We need your help. God bless you. We're trusting in you.

Dear Mr. President,
We have been here almost ten years but until now we do not have a house, so we need your help!
Maria Del Valle, San Jose
I myself have been chronically homeless for several years, due to rental of a foreclosure and to the cost of living. I've been barely making it, struggling, living in programs and shelters, and I would love to see the cost of living go down, so I can afford to live my life, free and stress-free. Thank you for your time. GOD BLESS YOU!
Gerry Hunt, San Jose
With the commissions being earned for real estate sales and for mortgage financing, the problem of unreliable credit standards was a natural result, as was the explosion in real estate prices. We need to take a look at the result of "FREE MARKET ECONOMICS" on class structure as being truly class warfare.
Maria Farias, San Jose
Presidente,
Le agradesco mucho que hagas por los que no tenemos donde vivir. Yo no tengo donde vivir.
Maria Guaracha, San Jose
I believe that we really need the help now before these problems get worse. I have been homeless and am no longer homeless, thanks to section 8.
Christina V. Perry, San Francisco
As an educator I have seen this issue affect students, families, teachers, and the community. Housing is a human right. Stop foreclosures and build more affordable housing!
Guadalupe Alvarez, San Jose
Necesitamos viviendas, comida para los ninos y ancianos, doctor, y otras cosas mas.
Andrea Gonzalez, Milpitas, CA
I would like the opportunity to get a low-income apartment so I could stop renting rooms from people in the community. I am scared at the thought of becoming homeless soon.
Calvin Miaw, San Jose
Nobody should have to sleep on the streets or in overcrowded, inadequate housing. We need strong, vibrant communities where every family has a home!
Ernestine Delgado, San Jose
I am homeless and the section 8 housing has such a long list. It takes years to get in. We really do need more funding in the area of housing. I hope to have a job and a place to live soon. Hopefully the unemployment rate will change. It is so depressing.
David Dominguez, San Jose
We need as much help as you can give us. And please help the homeless. There is a lot of need, help us please. Thank you, Mr. President. God bless you and your family.
Azaila Quezada, San Jose
We need more section 8 vouchers immediately. Mostly everyone is low-income. Families can barely afford rent, so if we can get more section 8 vouchers it would be a great help. And help is what we need.
Edward J. Thompson, San Jose
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing you this letter from a food and clothing organization here in San Jose, California. It is my hope that you can continue to improve our situation with more food and clothing organizations, as well as more housing section 8 and funding for the National Housing Trust Fund. Thank you, Mr. President.
