I believe that the housing waiting list is too slow. I have been waiting on the section 8 list for nine years. I feel very discouraged and helpless at times. Most of my money goes for rent. Affordable housing isn't affordable, especially for me and my two children.

Joon Won, Sunnyvale, CA

Help.

Senor Presidente Obama,

Necesitamos mas viviendas y que alla mas trabajos para las personas que tienen poco trabajo y para los que lo han perdido. Ayude tambien a las personas que estan perdiendo sus viviendas y le pedimos una reforma migratoria justa.

Nos hemos visto sumamente afectados por la situacion que estamos viviendo. Ya que al no haber fuentes de trabajo se nos dificulta para proveera nuestra familia, a nuestros hijos con lo necesario: para pagar la renta, comprar comida, y sobre todo nos afecta el stress de vernos en la desesperacion de no poder salir adelante.

Muchas gracias por su atencion.

Hola Senor Obama,

Es un placer saludarle a usted y su familia. Mis mejores deseos para ustedes.

Oy le pido que nos tomen en cuenta a nosotros los que no tenemos papeles, y que baje un poco la renta. Porque cada dia es mas dificil pagar todo: renta, servicio medico, etc. Muchas gracias.

Dear President Obama,

As a disabled veteran I am currently in a housing program with my wife and child, and we appreciate it greatly. I feel that we as Americans deserve more housing assistance for renters.

Please help, especially citizens who are on unemployment!

Cuts in SSI and SSDI are also contributing to homelessness. Public aid to disabled persons who are unable to support themselves is very important for preventing homelessness. Fully funded health care can also help by preventing or mitigating the medical problems that lead to disability.

Presently sir I am a victim of circumstances. Being just released from prison is making my life hard. In 1992 I was unjustly convicted of a 290 P.C. With this I am struggling just to acquire a decent job so our economy can bounce back. I have been homeless since 2001. A 290 cannot adjust in any way in this society no matter how you are looked upon. It is mind-boggling how rapidly the policing and jailing around this code is increasing - even for urinating in the bushes.

Well yes, I agree that homelessness will increase, so I am for some solution other than life behind bars! As for the above four points, by all means please pass a bill to consider adding more money. Thank you, honorable President.

There is a need especially for single parents who are trying to make ends meet. I have tried to get section 8 housing for years but to no avail.

Carina Andres, Santa Clara, CA

I am very proud that you are the President. You are very considerate to all people. My husband has no job right now and I am the only one working. My concern is that we have accomodation for all our basic needs, especially a house with lower rent.

Dickson A. Aibuedefe, Campbell, CA

Bravo, President Obama. Keep on doing what you do best, what has lifted you up to this level in your life. Come on, Obama, what is the big deal about providing section 8, public housing, the National Housing Trust Fund, and stopping foreclosures? These areas mentioned need quick attention for urgent restoration. Please, Mr. Obama, do something to make change as soon as possible. I only pray to God that in your term, God will use you as a point of contact to restore the global economy from crisis, for a permanent restoration in Jesus's name, Amen. In God we trust.

Rev. Nancy Palmer Jones, San Jose

Dear President Obama,

As the minister of a bilingual Unitarian Universalist congregation in this multi-cultural city, I see the effects of a lack of affordable housing on families in our congregation and our town. Your inspiring leadership - already doing so much! - can help to heal the crisis.

Warmly, Rev. Nancy

Roz Applebaum, San Jose

Madelon Pena, San Jose

I believe section 8 vouchers should be for everyone, geared for families with kids, but also for people without kids, or the homeless.

Public housing should be based on the total income per family - 30% of income should be for the rent.

There should be full funding of the National Housing Trust Fund to help people that are less fortunate.

They should stop foreclosures. People that do not have jobs due to layoffs should have a chance to pay a lower mortgage. Mortgage companies should work with people.

Billie Springer, San Jose

Good job!

Desiree Ortiz, San Jose

We need more available housing.

Increase the minimum wage by $5.00 an hour.

Affordable housing.

So many people can't afford a house or an apartment. More section 8 vouchers would help immediately, but long term solutions are needed! Housing should be regarded as a basic human right.

I am pleased to see you working on so many fronts to bring justice and hope to the people of this country. But one major gap needs serious nationwide attention. There are responsible hard working people who cannot afford a roof over their heads and shelter for their children. Please take the initiative to address this basic human need.

GOD BLESS!!!!

Kimberly Collins, San Jose

We are in a unprecedented crisis right now. We are in a desperate need to provide enough housing for our growing population. The economic crisis in America warrants the immediate need for more section 8 vouchers and affordable housing. Lets put funds that are being used for the senseless war in Iraq and use it here in our homeland. I love the intelligence, vigor, and hope that the Obama administration has brought not only to our country, but to the world. I'm very confident that our new President and his talented administration will turn the housing and economic crisis around.
