I am <br />retired and now consider myself a "professional volunteer" As I drive around the various communities, I am disturbed <br />by the growing numbers of homeless folks, some with small children. Just today I heard a segment on KQED about <br />homeless children in Salinas is now 40%. this is unbelievable! Horrible. <br />-- I fee that we; as human beings have to help our fellow man to get the basics for survival. By giving them a cheaper <br />space to rent ,hopefully will take some of the edge of this crisis.There are many empty lots around the city that should <br />be appropriated for homeless shelters/ low income housing. Affordable; below market value is key. I was appalled <br />when I went to a rent board meeting last year, when a new landlord was raising the rent on a woman in her 80's who <br />had lived in her apartment for 27 years, never once late with the rent. he raised it from $1,200 month to Market Value <br />$1950, against the advice from the rent advisory board. This city needs rent control like our neighbors to protect the <br />insecure folks. <br />Karen Difrummolo
