THE CITY OF <br /> East Pleasanton Specific Plan <br /> Public Comments pLEASANTON0 <br /> From: Noel Messenger <br /> Sent: Monday, November 11, 2019 8:53 AM <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <citycouncil@cityofpleasantonca.gov> <br /> Subject: Housing for developmentally disabled individuals <br /> To the city counsel: <br /> I have lived in Pleasanton for over 25 years. I raised my family here and it is a wonderful place to <br /> live. However, my youngest son was diagnosed with Autism disorder at a young age and he is now 26, <br /> working part time and attending classes at Las Positas. He has gone through considerable life training <br /> and is ready to live on his own. We are aware of Sunflower hill, but the number of kids that can live <br /> there is very limited. Those individuals who already reside in the DD housing that is available is rare so <br /> there do not appear to be adequate opportunities here. It would be a shame to have to relocate our <br /> entire family because Pleasanton cannot provide adequate DD housing. I understand that REACH wait <br /> list has 77 people and there are hundreds on the SFH wait list. Coreys income including SSID is less <br /> than $900/month. I hope that you can take additional actions to provide more housing for these <br /> capable, hard working individuals. <br /> Thank You. <br /> Noel Messenger <br /> El Neal St. <br /> Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br /> 6 <br /> Provided to City Council for the February 18,2020, Meeting <br />
