My uncle is a single parent who only earns $400 a paycheck. He has been living with his daughter in their car, while they are on the section 8 waiting list. We need more vouchers to help those in need. ONE LOVE.

Children must have homes in order to thrive, trust, and grow up educated and ready to contribute. Adults need homes, too.

Housing that is accessible and affordable for all, a basic human right, is in a severe shortage in our community. I appreciate your attention and support.

At times in my life I found myself in situations, homeless and hungry and not knowing where to turn. Programs like the one at Sacred Heart in San Jose have lifted me up and got me on my feet again. I hope that they will remain here for many years to come, and help many others in need as they have done for me. Thank you for all your hard work.

Quit passing pork barrel bills that only benefit a few in one state. My tax dollars are being spent for things that are not necessary and benefit only a few. Take care of the people, not building crap that I can't use.

I am a young single mother. I work hard, but it is harder and harder to make ends meet in California. I am having to wait FOUR YEARS on the section 8 waiting least, but I need affordable housing NOW! Maybe not as low rent as section 8, but at least within a reasonable range for regular hard-working individuals. Thank you Mr. President for your concern.

Mi familia necesita una vivienda mas grande. Y necesitamos ayuda con los estudios de nuestros hijos.

Que bajen los intereses de cobros altos en casa y que los bancos no sean tan crueles, porque hoy familias que los han perdido porque los bancos no estan ayudando como deberian.

Dear Mr. President,
I am worried sick about the plight of the homeless here in sunny, lovely Santa Clara County, California. True, our weather is great, but to be homeless is to be running, always running. Running from, running to, trying to make ends meet, trying to catch a bus, to get to a doctor, to get a letter, to pick up your medications, your next meal, or a dry blanket. San Jose is a very big place when you are on foot and you have no wheels.
Can you help? We all need a place to call home. Thanks.
Victoria Mendoza, San Jose
Le pido, Senor Presidente, que nos baje la renta, respete los derechos medicos, y no nos discrimine. Gracias.

Mr. President,
I am a veteran and I served my country well. The past administration, and apparently yours as well, has somehow forgotten the sacrifices we have made. The resources of the VA are being spread thin. Please take care of those who fought for the "freedoms" that made it possible for you to be elected.
Signed,
A Homeless Veteran
