Learn why this is important <br />Hello, <br />Below is my comment for consideration for the City Council Meeting on Monday. <br />"Thank you for considering my input on agenda item 8A and for your ongoing support of <br />service providers assisting the unhoused population with resources and assistance. My name is <br />Erika Laguna, Director of Program Operations for Downtown Streets Team. We are grateful <br />for the opportunity to serve the unhoused community in Redwood City for the past four and a <br />half years. <br />One of the main reasons we've succeeded in helping individuals on their path to self- <br />sufficiency is due to the collaboration led by Homeless Services Manager Teri Chin. In the 16 <br />communities we serve, those with strong provider collaborations have shown the most <br />success. Working together allows us to create a support system that helps individuals sustain <br />their journey toward self-sufficiency and we look forward to continuing our work alongside <br />our partners as we serve the unhoused population, thank you.” <br />Thank you! <br />Erika Laguna <br />Director of Program Operations <br />Downtown Streets Team <br />1671 The Alameda #301 <br />San Jose CA 95126 <br />Cell Phone : 408-502-0120
