RE: HomeAid Orange County in Partnership with Family Promise House of Ruth Project
Dear Planning Committee,
The YMCA of Orange County is writing today in support of HomeAid Orange County in their partnership
with Family Promise and the House of Ruth Project proposed in the city of Tustin. As a business that has
operated in the city of Tustin for nearly 30 years, we believe in the mission of HomeAid Orange County
and their well-planned and structured solution to a county-wide epidemic, homelessness.
As a family-centered organization we, more than most, understand the need for families to have an
opportunity to live in a safe and stable environment. A place where they can focus on regaining their
health, strengthening their finances and transitioning into permanent housing.
We have partnered with HomeAid Orange County for 10 years on outreach efforts to support community
residents in their time of need. Some of those efforts include, but are not limited to, diaper drives for
families who cannot afford diapers for their babies, sending homeless children to camp, and more.
Through all our collaborative efforts HomeAid Orange County remains hyper-focused on delivering the
most effective solutions to provide help to those most in need.
Sincerely,
ANS
