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

Presidente Obama,

Que Dios le bendiga y que el Senor le de mucha sabiduria y le guarde donde quierra que anda a usted y su familia.

El desempleo ahora esta muy dificil por los que estan buscando trabajo. Yo soy medical assistant y maestra de pre-school y ni aun asi se encuentra trajajo, ni de janitor. Espero que este sea uno de los primeros puntos de resolver.

Maggie Mailo, San Jose

We really need more affordable housing. There are just too many homeless people on the streets. Please, Mr. President, help our American people! Thank you and God bless America!

I am an RN. I have met many people who through their disabilities and problems with working cannot afford housing. There needs to be more section 8 housing.

We are currently homeless and Sacred Heart Community Service helps us out big time. Without these services we would not be eating. Please help us and others who need you now.

Necesitamos mas fondos para servicio medico.

Dear Obama,

I would love to ask you if you could help more people to have housing. My daughter has two kids, a three year-old and a newborn. I pray that you help the people who have kids, and I pray that you will help us. Thank you.

Love, Lorraine Jaramillo

There are too many people living outside. Let's all make a difference in people's welfare and people's lives. Get it done!
