It is my firm belief that if you lower rental rates to an amount affordable to minimum wage workers, and then place a cap on rents, it would help not only low-income families, but also the economy in all areas across America.
And please stop making cuts on those who are already barely surviving now on disability, or you will have an even greater homelessness rate in America. Thanks.

Dear Mr. President,
I am a 24 year-old single parent of two beautiful little girls ages five and three. I am currently living in a San Jose family shelter. All of my life I have had big dreams, dreams to be and do something big in this world. I have always wanted to have an important impact on people's lives, but I put my dreams on hold the day I became a mother.
I have learned now to put others' dreams before my own. My girls are what matter to me now, and I will live my dreams through them. I have never really had a home all my life, I have just moved from house to house. So now as a parent, that is all I want for my girls, but it is so hard out here. It is hard to find work and hard to find a home.
I have even stopped going to school to become a counselor so that I can look for at least some kind of job right now. I have been on the housing waiting list for about three years now, and they say I won't be called for about another ten years. And my time at the shelter will be up next month.
I am asking for your help for us with housing, for me and my girls, and for others who are in serious need of it.
We deserve a chance and our kids deserve a better life.

Necesitamos viviendas para personas de bajos ingresos. Gracias por tomarnos en cuenta, y ayudenos a que no recorten la MediCal para el dentista, para nosotros los residentes. Gracias por su apoyo.
Chavon Anderson, San Jose
Please, Obama, we need your help, the community needs your help. Anything you are able to do for people on section 8, or people that want to be on section 8, will be greatly appreciated.
Maria Cendejas, Jazmen, Rafael, Christopher, & Guadalupe, San Jose
Necesitamos mas ayudas para nosotros que no tenemos suficiente dinero para rentas tan caras. Gracias.
Yolanda Garcia, San Jose
Please help those of us who have not yet been foreclosed, but cannot find work. It is so hard to make the payments. There should be a bank program to assist us. Thank you.
Maria Socorro Martinez, San Jose
I think that the rents are too much, and also we need more section 8 vouchers.
Johnny Rudy Avila, San Jose
Please we need more housing vouchers for homeless people. I have been homeless for a long time.
Brandy Medina, San Jose
Well, I think all we mothers that have children should be able to get housing first, since we are the ones in the greatest emergency need.
Socorro Torres, San Jose
We need more housing, we need more work, and more help tea ching people to read.

Dear President,
First of all, our family is very happy to have you as our President. We are a family of five daughters ages 3-18, and myself, a single mom. We have had to move five times in the past three years. We have been on a housing waiting list that long. Rent is almost impossible for a family like ours, unless we rent with more than one family in a home.
Thank you for your time. God bless you.
Mandy Aleyda Ruano Giron, San Jose
Le suplicamos que usted nos escuche porque usted es nuestra esperanza. Para todos los Latinos usted es nuestra luz al final del tunel.Los humanos indocumentados lo necesitamos porque somos humanos ante todo y trabajadores. Que Dios lo bendiga. Gracias.

Gracias por su atencion, Senor Presidente. Yo estoy muy necesitado. No pude pagar mi casa y la perdi.
Jim Balquist, Sunnyvale, CA
It doesn't feel like America when so many people are suffering, and so many basic needs are going unmet......and it doesn't have to be this way!
Angela Conroy & Deborah Hardcastle, San Jose
Angela: Yes, I am on section 8 housing. I have been on unemployment and looking for work for about four months now since I was laid off. President Obama, you are doing a great job and everyone loves you.
Deborah: Housing in the Bay Area is very expensive. Section 8 vouchers are needed.
Bonifacio C. Jordan, San Jose
We would greatly appreciate more housing for the poor and homeless. May God bless you and your family, you are always in my prayers.
Margarita Maldonado, San Jose
Estoy pidiendo nos ayude en el costo de viviendas y en una reforma migratoria para todos.
Maria Flores, San Jose
Tenemos un problema con empleadores que abusan a personas en los trabajos. Hacen que trabajen mas de 8 horas diarias sin pagar overtime porque no tiene una identificacion.
Por eso le pedimos que aya pronto una reforma para no vivir mas en oscuridad.
Gracias.

Mr. President,
When you ran for this office, one of your goals was to start a program that would be fair for the American people. Well sir, the problem is bigger than you thought.
As an American born in the U.S.A., I believe that we as Americans are UNDER ATTACK by illegal and other groups of people that are here for money and do not want to be part of what this country has to offer. Please do what is right and close the borders. Let Americans have a chance at affordable housing an d jobs.
Thank you and good luck.

I have had children and been on welfare but never been able to receive a section 8 voucher.
Jill Kelly, San Jose
Housing is very expensive in the Bay Area and the salaries here for low level jobs are not enough to cover the rent. Please give us more funding for housing.

Sabrina Ivory, San Jose
I am currently living in a shelter and need all the help I can getting section 8 and low-income housing, for people who have not been on the waiting list. When the waiting list was open I did not qualify, but today, now that I do qualify, the waiting list is closed.
Jose Guerrero & Maria, San Jose
Senor Obama,
No tenemos trabajo, y por lo mismo no tenemos para la renta ni comida. Gracias por ayudarnos
Johnny Leone Walls, San Jose
There are many Americans, including women and children, that are homeless and need HELP fast! Thank you.
Aidee M. Armendariz, San Jose
Make lenders more productive processing modifications.
Treat MODS as loans, processed and approved in 30 days.
Allow short sales to be treated as normal sales and not be reported on credit report.
Thanks.
John Harris, San Jose
I need affordable housing myself. I know a lot of us are looking.....looking.....looking.....
Maria Yanet Rojas, San Jose
Hola Senor Presidente,
Estamos pidiendo porque nos ayude en las viviendas, que son muy caras hoy en esta crisis, y tambien por las escuelas que mejoren que este bien.
Elodia Silva, Yasmin, & Miguel Angel, San Jose
Necesito ayuda para mis hijos en el colegio, y rentas de precio mas bajo por favor. Necesitamos su ayuda, Presidente Obama. Gracias.
Y por favor no ayude con una reforma migratoria. Gracias.
Cayetano Desena, San Jose
En primer lugar quiciera que active el plan para seccion 8 que esta estacado. Yo hace tres anos aplique acerca de la vivienda de bajo ingreso, pero no sirven ninguno. Aqui en San Jose llenaron de nueva construccion, diciendo que era para "senior" de bajo ingreso. Pero son todo companias que cada rato cambien de duenos y aumentan la renta. Es imposible a pagar.
Joseph G. Padilla, Milpitas, CA
I have been waiting for housing for seven years. Please help us low-income people.
Constance J. Hunter, San Jose
In the past two months in our small church community, there have been three people looking for affordable housing costing less than $500 a month. Of these, one had been evicted from a one-bedroom apartment where he had lived for 14 years. He now lives in one 10' x 12' room in a house. Another is moving into a shared living situation (four people splitting the rent), and another is moving into a studio apartment in subsidized housing.
Housing is the foundation on which steady employment, good health, education, and other opportunities rest. I urge you to increase the supply of affordable housing.

Access to shelter or a home is a human right. As the leader of our government you must make sure everyone has that access.
Sandy Perry & Andrea Villasenor-Perry, San Jose
Dear Mr. Obama,
We are old enough to remember when homelessness in America did not exist for all practical purposes. America is richer and greater now than it was thirty years ago, yet our government has allowed millions of our people to plunge into homelessness and desperate poverty. The government has the power, the authority, and the resources to end poverty immediately, as called for by Dr. King in 1968. Please use your office to lead a campaign to do so in 2009. The time has come to end the decades of unnecessary suffering, broken families, and wasted lives.
"The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern."
Richard Allen, San Jose
I have an issue with a criminal record that is basically a misdemeanor. But when I go apply for work in some places I get turned down because of that, and also my disability, which gives me two strikes against me. So please consider me when thinking about jobs and housing. I believe in the change you promised.
Alas I am not a saint by any means but I have had no trouble with the law since my case ended in 1987. So if you can see what you can do to change this then it would be appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Maria Mora, San Jose
Necesitamos:
Servicios medicos, a bajo costo o gratuito.

Iliana Ortega, San Jose
Deberia de existir mas lugares de bajos recursos, o pagos mas bajos de casas, donde la mayoria de la gente pueda mantanerse unida y no separarse por solo pagar las rentas!
Seria algo muy bueno. Todos tenemos el derecho de obtener la oportunidad.

Housing helped my 17 year-old teen boy, my 13 year-old son, and myself come back from being homeless due to a violent divorce.
Nikita Compton, San Jose
We need more low-income housing and more money for our local community schools. This war is putting a lot of low-income people on the streets. Silicon Valley is supposed to be the richest area in the U.S.A., let alone the state, yet we all are struggling to provide for our families. May you please give back to the communities around the world.
I appreciate the time you are taking to read my letter. Thank you for all you will soon do for the people of the world.

There are so many fearing homelessness or already on the streets. We have a responsibility as Americans to care for our citizens. Thank you for all you are doing for our nation.
Sharat Lin, Fremont, CA
If the government can bail out the banks, why can't it bail out homeowners facing foreclosure?
Redirect funding from war to public housing.
Helen Lund, San Jose
My own sister is facing foreclosure. She is a school registrar who has a police officer, ex-military husband - yet their mortgage company WOULD NOT deal with them. They now face bankruptcy or foreclosure. Statistics say that homelessness will double!!! This is not acceptable.
