As a Councilman and leader of the city of Phoenix, your strong convictions have moved you to
actively serve the Phoerux community and helped it grow into a vibrant, complex and unique
city. I am grateful for your service to the people of Phoenix and your commitment to continue to
lead as we face new challenges. Trusting in your expertise and experience in creating strong and
supportive communities, I am writing to ask for your support for a cause that would allow us to
create even more positive change in our community.
As Christians seeking to fulfill God's Commandment of Love, we are facing obstacles in our
commitment to open our hearts in love and service to the most vulnerable and in need. There is
an increase of people coming to the Human Services Campus seeking shelter but cannot be
accommodated at night due to restricted capacity. Cun-cntly, the special permit in place allows
for only 425 individuals to take shelter, despite the Campus having the capacity to take in
another 300 to 400 people in its shelter system. This immediate humanitarian crisis in our
backyard could exacerbate with more vulnerable individuals cast out in the streets; we need a
regional solution. The request for an amendment to the permit to allow an increase of shelter
beds is one piece of a regional solution, which will accommodate the population that is already
there, currently sleeping on roadways, alleys, and private property. An increase in shelter beds at
the Human Services Campus will help not only those on the streets, but also the neighborhoods
struggling with the challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness. Those sleeping on the
streets would have a haven to go to, where they can experience the love and support needed to
move towards ending their homelessness.
As Christians, we recognize that each person, regardless of his or her economic or social position
or background, is made in the image of God and therefore, must be treated in a manner which
fully respects their human dignity. Commitment, then, to people who are homeless and in great
need is not a side issue; rather such commitment is an inescapable consequence of recognizing
Jesus Christ in the homeless. In this initiative, I believe that the City of Phoenix is given the
opportunity to lead the way by example and it is my hope that you champion this worthy cause to
care for God's most vulnerable people.

Re: Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor and Phoenix Council:
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul and Andre House, to modify the existing
Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people
experiencing homelessness. I am a business & property owner in Phoenix.
I have been a volunteer at Andre House for over 15 years, and have seen
first hand, for all these years, the conditions the homeless community have
to deal with. Many of these people are in transition from living on the
streets to obtaining permanent housing. The homeless community need a
safe place to sleep. The Phoenix community needs more shelter beds.
Each month, 400 to 500 people seek shelter at the Human Services
Campus and are turned away because there aren't enough shelter beds. In
the history of Phoenix, to my knowledge, we have never had a low-barrier
shelter option to provide shelter services for people struggling with serious
mental illness and substance abuse.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing
homelessness seeking shelter for the night are needlessly turned away
because all beds are filled. These people are forced to return to the streets
where their personal safety is a significant issue. The encampments on the

streets, created by the homeless, is a challenge our Phoenix
neighborhoods are struggling with.
The three organizations mentioned above are willing to step up and
improve the issue associated with unsheltered homelessness. I
respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by these
organizations to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000.
Please feel free to contact me for any further questions or comments.

RE:
Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
On behalf of Circle the City and the patients we serve, I am pleased to offer this letter of
support and commitment to the organizations at the Human Services Campus regarding
the above referenced matter.
Circle the City is a dynamic non-profit, federally qualified health center (FQHC)
dedicated to providing high quality, holistic healthcare to people experiencing
homelessness in Maricopa County. Our homeless specialty continuum of care is one-of-
a-kind in the state of Arizona, and one of few similar models in the United States. Circle
the City takes a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the important balance of
physical, mental, and spiritual health, engaging all patients with the goal of not only
providing excellent care but also of assisting them on their journey out of homelessness.
On January 1, 2018, Circle the City assumed responsibility for health care services on the
Human Services Campus (HSC) and later that year completed another SO bed respite
facility on the HSC. These facilities will serve individuals on the HSC and other individuals
experiencing homelessness.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness
seeking shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because those beds are filled.
These individuals are forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible.
This situation should not occur. Anyone requesting a bed should be able to receive one.
We respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. Our
community is fortunate to have the HSC as a safety net for people experiencing
homelessness. They are truly the experts in helping people gain self-sufficiency and end
their homelessness forever. We are grateful for our partnership with the HSC and for
your consideration to support them. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
~~

Dear Mayor and Phoenix City Council members,
July 18, 20 19
My name is Michael Anderson and r currently serve as the President of the Coronado
Neighborhood Association. T am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to
provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a ten-year resident of
the downtown area, I have seen firsthand the impact homelessness has on this vulnerable
population as well as our communities. Phoenix needs more shelter beds.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking
shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals are
forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. This situation shou ld not occur.
Anyone requesting a temporary safe place to sleep should be able to receive one. As a resident, I
have also noticed more people than ever in encampments throughout the city. An increase in shelter
beds will not just help the people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling with the
challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services
Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. T am in full support of the
service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Please feel free
to contact me for any further questions or comments.

Mayor and Council:
!!!HOM-
On behalf of HOM, Inc., I offer my strong support of the request to modify the existing Special Use Permit
to increase the number of emergency shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness at the Human
Services Campus (Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7).
HOM, Inc., is proud to work alongside the cooperating agencies and organizations at the Human Services
Campus to serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These efforts include partnerships
to provide Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Rapid Rehousing (RRH) programs for approximately
2,500 formerly homeless households throughout Maricopa County; providing lease-up services for City of
Phoenix Housing Department for their HUD-VASH and Housing Choice Voucher programs; and providing
board leadership and committee service to steer policymaking and community action to serve and support
our most vulnerable citizens.
As you are aware, Maricopa County has seen a significant increase in the number of individuals
experiencing unsheltered homelessness. Emergency shelter, when operated with a low-barrier approach
that is focused on permanent housing outcomes, is an integral element in our homelessness crisis
response system. Individuals and families experiencing homelessness are much more apt to successfully
navigate their paths to return to housing when they have a safe place to stay and service providers
dedicated to moving them out of shelter and into housing. Providing adequate emergency shelter beds
to meet the needs of those sleeping in places not meant for human habitation addresses both
humanitarian and community needs.
Respectfully, I urge you to approve the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint Vincent de
Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to expand emergency shelter bed capacity
at the Campus. Thank you.

To whom it may concern,
Pita Jungle, a local Arizona restaurant group established in 1994 with 23 neighborhood
restaurants, values the creation and development of our community.
Back in 1994, our founders gave up engineering and broadcasting to open a restaurant where the food
was fresh and healthy, and the people were fun and creative; a place where the local community could
come together, share, and create over delicious food. Throughout the years and in recognition to the
tremendous support we have received from our local patrons, we are naturally inclined to support
Andre House and its mission in helping all members of our community.
In return for Andre House's outstanding position with respect to providing shelter, food services,
hospitality, and transitional housing along with all the endeavors they have generated to help, the
most vulnerable and in need, Pita Jungle is honored to pledge their staunch support behind this
wonderful organization and their zoning efforts. Specifically, we would like to support Andre House's
zoning efforts with regards to Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7.

Re:
Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor Gallego and City Council Members;
I am writing this letter on behalf of the Story Preservation Association ("SPA"). The SPA represents
approximately 602 properties within the F.Q. Story Historic District which is bounded by 7th Avenue to
Grand Avenue and McDowell Road to Roosevelt Road.
The Steering Committee, acting as the Board of Directors for the SPA is comprised of 19 members who
voted unanimously to provide a statement of support for Andre House in their mission to improve our
community's challenge with extreme poverty and homelessness.
Therefore, it is the SPA's official position that we support the service providers downtown (Andre House,
Human Services Campus and St. Vincent de Paul) with their special permit amendment request that will
allow Andre House to be able to shelter up to 1,000 people. Specifically their request to:
❖ Add 275 beds at Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), which now has 425 beds that
are filled every night. CASS' Certificate of Occupancy allows for 700 beds.
❖ Allow the Andre House, which owns property adjacent to the Campus, to develop a new
80-100 bed shelter to operate on a 24/7 basis to assist highly vulnerable individuals who
may encounter challenges because of pets and possessions that deter them from
receiving services, and
❖ Allow an additional ad hoc 200 beds in the St. Vincent de Paul dining room or Lodestar
Day Resource Center Day Room during extreme summer and winter weather.
As part of our mission to preserve central Phoenix historic neighborhoods, the SPA has a long-standing
commitment to partnering with government and community-based organizations that provide shelter,
food, hygiene supplies and other essential resources for the most vulnerable people in our community.
We believe Andre House's proposal to expand shelter beds and services is critical to meet the
extraordinary need as more people face poverty, eviction, job loss and food insufficiency. Andre House
provides not just services to their guests, but dignity. They serve without judgment. We support Andre
House because it is the responsible and decent thing to do.
Respectfully,
a~~~

Dear Mayor and Council,
Good afternoon. I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. My company has brought meals to the
Andre House and have seen the neighborhood and immediately recognized the need for a safe
place to sleep, and for our city's homeless to find shelter. We run businesses in Downtown and
have felt the positive impact provided by this caring team and wonderful ministry.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds at Andre House, homeless individuals seeking shelter
for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals are forced
to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. This situation seems avoidable. As a
business owner, I have also noticed more people than ever in encampments, particularly near HSC
& Andre House. An increase in shelter beds will not just help keep people off the streets, it will
help neighborhoods struggling with the challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness, and
hopefully make our community safer for everyone.
l respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services Campus
to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I am in full support of the service
providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Please feel free to contact
me with any further questions or comments.

Dear Mayor Gallego and the City of Phoenix Council,
Andre House and The Human Services Campus are doing important work
supporting the homeless population of Maricopa County by providing food,
shelter and essential human services to our neighbors living on the streets.
Oftentimes these services are literally life saving during the frigid desert winters
and scorching hot summers. They also provide services that help our neighbors
without shelter live with dignity by offering a safe place to shower, do laundry and
store their precious few possessions in lockers. Additionally, they provide
transitional homes for our neighbors who are getting back on their feet and into
stable homes.
As if all of this is not enough, they are asking your approval to do more for our
community. Andre House wants to help more of the homeless population of
Phoenix stay in safe environments and live with dignity. It could not come at a
more crucial time with COVID-19 threatening our state, but especially our most
vulnerable communities, including those living on the streets in Phoenix.
The work expansion of Andre House is life saving and critical to keeping all
populations of Maricopa County healthy and Cibo supports this expansion. Let's
keep their good work going by approving the additional beds at Central Arizona
Shelter Services. We ask that you approve the development of the property
adjacent to the campus so that a new shelter can be built for highly vulnerable
individuals. During the months of extreme cold and heat, let's support adding
extra beds for our homeless neighbors to stay safe and alive.
The work of Andre House benefits all of Phoenix, especially in the time of
COVID-19. They have the heart to do the work. Let's be good neighbors and give
them the approval to do the work even better.

I am writing to you on behalf of the Phoenix Historic Neighborhoods Coalition. We are a coalition of
people who live throughout the historic neighborhoods within Phoenix. We come together because we
value the history of Phoenix and seek to share our love of our city's historic neighborhoods to preserve
bui ldings and help build community.
The Phoenix I listoric Neighborhoods Coalition supports the request made by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul. and Andre House to modify the existing Specia l Use Permit to provide
up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. The long-term plan supported by
Mayor Gallegos to establish regional shelters is a wo1thy long-term goal and one that we hope wil l
come to fruition, however, in the interim, there is an immediate need for more shelter beds that must be
addressed. The city cannot continue to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to be turned away
from shelters because all beds are filled. Anyone requesting a safe place to sleep should be able to
receive one. As residents we have noticed more people than ever in encampments throughout the city,
and with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, we will likely sec an increase in those numbers.
Expanding homeless services and the number of shelter beds will not only help the people on the
streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling with the challengers associated with unsheltered
homelessness.
The Coalition urges the City of Phoenix to approve Z-SP-2-19 to expand the maximum number of
shelter beds from 425 to 1,000. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or comments.

Dear Mayor Gallego and Councilwoman Stark,
As a Phoenix resident for the past 37 years, I am very concerned about the rising
incident of homelessness in Phoenix and to appeal to you to have the City of Phoenix
take on a greater role in addressing the problem, including the creation of bonding, or
other mechanism, to aggressively reduce this blight, and lessen the suffering of so
many people in our beloved City.
As a retired firefighter, I have a strong understanding of the face of homelessness. I saw
it first-hand, 35 years ago as a newly certified paramedic working on Phoenix Fire's
Engine 3 at 15th Ave and Van Buren St. when we were the third busiest fire engine in
the country. For the past 10 years, I have mentored youth in a group home.
Unfortunately, two of them are now aged-out foster youth who are homeless in the
Valley right now. This breaks my heart.
I am also knowledgeable about veteran homelessness. As Co-Founder of the Casa
Veterans Ministry at the Franciscan Renewal Center, I know that Phoenix was nationally
recognized for being the first major city in the United States to "house its chronically
homeless veterans." Unfortunately, we are now seeing a spike in veteran
homelessness, and an accompanying rise in elder homelessness, due to increasing
rents and a significant drop in affordable housing. We only need to look at the
increasing demand on the Justa Center in downtown Phoenix.
I am concerned that we are going to face the type of encampments plaguing the West
Coast. Homelessness is increasingly visible on street corners throughout our city. While
a small percentage of those are seriously mentally ill and or face addiction issues and
burden our social/medical system immensely, a much greater percentage are
experiencing temporary homelessness and need a helping hand ... for a short period of
time.
As a person of faith, I urge the Phoenix City Council to take "aggressive compassionate
action" to expand our capacity at the Human Services Campus.
Sincerely,
Dean Pedrotti

Dear Mayor and Council,
My name is Savanna Schaitel. I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up
to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a citizen of downtown Phoenix, it is
impossible for me to ignore the suffering of my brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness on our
streets. The extreme heat coupled with the stigma and treatment rendered by those not experiencing
homelessness is too great for most to overcome. I cannot imagine the difficulty to regain one's bearings
in such an unforgiving, fast-paced city. Just last summer, I witnessed the passing of a homeless man just
outside of a gas station- a gas station with the means to offer both water and a cool place to rest. "But
the homeless are bad for business." Too many businesses share this opinion.
•
Each month, 450-500 people seek shelter at the Human Services Campus and are turned away
because there aren't enough shelter beds.
•
According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, the number of unsheltered people experiencing
homelessness has increased by 22% in the last year.
As quoted from AZCentral- "For a decade now, an affordable-housing shortage has devastated
Arizona's poor and middle-class households. One advocate called it "the perfect storm." Already
it has led to rapidfire evictions, a stalled social safety net and a spike in homelessness. And it's
getting worse."
•
In the history of Phoenix, we have never had a low-barrier shelter option to provide shelter
services for people struggling with serious mental illness and substance abuse. The new low-
barrier shelter will serve an under-served population.
"Under-served" cannot be overstated. We have far too many ill-bodied/ill-minded people facing
our streets, and life as a whole, entirely alone. With nothing but judgement offered to them,
how are they to wake upon a new day and seek change? How is it that with the gobs of funding
we can shovel into large corporations and new stadiums that we can justify withholding the
small amount of funds that could and will literally change and save lives?
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking shelter for
the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals are forced to return to
the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. This situation should not occur. Anyone requesting a
temporary safe place to sleep should be able to receive one. As a resident, I have also noticed more
people than ever in encampments throughout the city. An increase in shelter beds will not just help the
people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling with the challenges associated with
unsheltered homelessness.
I am merely a citizen sick of seeing my fellow citizens lost, unsupported, and ultimately forgotten. It is
only when concern for our least productive members of society is shown, that we can altogether get
over the hurdle of hopelessness. We have all felt alone, useless, stuck- even if it were only a fleeting
feeling. Imagine yourself actually alone, without a place to be, left to the curb in a world too fast for you
to keep up with. Difficult to imagine, isn't it? Probably because you have a loving support system,
correct? Well what if you had nothing but the skin on your back and the idea that society wants nothing
to do with you? A safe, clean place to sleep is the first step to rehabilitation of the mindset that you are
not worthy. Please, help return worth to those who have lost their faith and way.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services Campus to
expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000, I am in full support of the service providers
working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Please feel free to contact me for any
further questions or comments.

ame Brandi Whisler

B andiLWhisler@gmail.com
ear Mayor and Council -
y name is Brandi Whisler. r am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
incent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds
fi r people experiencing homelessness. I have worked in central Phoenix for the last fifteen years, and am currently
orking on the Human Services Campus at Circle the City, a healthcare for the homeless provider. As a healthcare
fi r the homeless provider, we've long known the importance of addressing social determinants of health. A person
si ply cannot heal or maintain their health while sleeping on the streets. Each day, hundreds of patients walk
t rough our doors, many of them asking for assistance with securing shelter. Simply stated, there are not enough
s elter resources available and our teams are often left with brainstorming the safest place for the patient to sleep
" n the streets" while simultaneously trying to move them out of homelessness.
hile J can share story after story about the lack of shelter space, the statistics speak for themselves. We have
s en through the MAG Continuum of Care Point in Time counts a year over year growth in the number of
u sheltered individuals experiencing homelessness - a 22% increase from 20 I 8 to 20 I 9 alone! We know that
e ch month around 500 individuals are turned away from shelter at the Human Services Campus because there
a en't enough beds available. The addition of a low-barrier shelter will benefit countless individuals who are not
a le to access shelter through other shelter providers due to restrictions that exist within those entities such as pet
p licies, criminal background policies, etc.
T ese additional beds will not cause more individuals to experience homelessness, rather the shelter beds will
gi e those already sleeping on our streets a safe place to stay while accessing needed services to end their
h melessness. The impact of too few shelter beds is evident both around the Human Services Campus and
t roughout the city. Often times, attempts to engage folks within those encampments simply results in relocating

Dear Mayor and Council,
My name is Skyler Hong and I have been a Phoenician resident for the last 10 years. The
reason I am writing to you is in support of the request made by Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I have been volunteering at Andre
House for over two years and I have created many memories with those who need assistance.
During the cold Arizona winters nights and scorching hot summers, the homeless guests at Andre
House would share with me the troubles they go through on a day to day basis and it truly breaks
my heart. I believe, if those who live on the streets have access to a safe shelter beds, then they
will be able to work and transition their way out of homelessness.
Just to give a little insight on the situation, each month there are 450-500 individuals
seeking shelter at the Human Services Campus. They are constantly turned away because there
are not enough shelter beds for them to sleep on. This results in the individuals being forced to
sleep on the streets. During the last year, there has been a 22% increase in the number of
unsheltered people experiencing homelessness, according to 2019 Point -in-Time Count. I fully
support this new type of shelter, because this new type of shelter focuses on helping those who
are struggling with serious mental illness and substance abuse.
I would like to respectfully urge the City of Phoenix help make this change by approving
the request made by Human Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425
to 1,000. By increasing the number of beds, it will create a safer environment for individuals
who are homeless. Please feel free to contact me with further questions or comments.

Dear Mayor and Council,
My name is Rishik Kelli and I am a high schooler heading into my senior year at Anthem
Preparatory Academy. Anthem Preparatory Academy is a high school located about 25 miles
north of Central Phoenix and my parents have been living in the valley for about 15 years.
Towards the end of my Junior year of high school, I found out about the mission of Andre House
of Hospitality: building power relationships with those we serve and supporting the homeless
and hungry by providing them with their basic needs: food, water, clothing, and shelter. I have
worked for a couple organizations that feed the hungry and provide shelter, but there is no
organization as committed as Andre House of Hospitality in providing verbal face to face
physical and mental assistance, helping out our community on any given day, week, month,
season, and year. I am writing this letter in support of Saint Vincent de Paul, Human Services
Campus, and Andre House's commitment towards a better tomotTow and request to modify the
existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing
homelessness. While serving meals every night I volunteer or washing giant trays and pots in the
pit, I have realized how vulnerable our community can be to the extreme heat, monsoon rains,
and bitter winds without a proper place to sleep and rest every night.
Homelessness is a continuously growing social problem in our valley with the number of
unsheltered people experiencing homelessness increasing by 22 percent last year according to the
2019 Point-in-Time Count. Every month, 450-500 people are turned away at the Human Services
Campus because there are not enough beds which leads our community back onto the streets
where they are susceptible to a broad range of acute and chronic illnesses. Throughout the
history of Phoenix, we have never had a low-barrier shelter option to provide shelter services for
our under-served population of people struggling with serious mental illness and substance
abuse. The low-barrier shelters will also provide protection from our seasonal appalling weather
conditions. No one should be forced to return to the streets to seek out a place to sleep and
anyone requesting a temporary safe place to sleep should be able to receive one. As a resident of
the valley and throughout my visits in downtown, I have also noticed more people than ever in
encampments throughout the city. The tents and huts our underprivileged communities live in
can be very unhealthy and dangerous to the mental health of those living in them. An increase in
shelter beds will not just help the people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling
with the challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness and encampments.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix and my mayor to approve the request made by the
Human Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I am in full
support of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix.
Together, we can take the next steps as a community to stop the growth of unsheltered
homelessness and make homelessness a temporary problem. Please feel free to contact me with
any further questions or comments.

RE: Human Services Campus Specia Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
As a business owner in Sunnyslope and a homeowner in
Central Phoenix I am well aware of the homelessness problem.
I have thought about this problem long and hard. As a business
Owner we experienced homelessness right across the street from
Our business. So I got a first-hand look at the people, their
Habits and the sad situation they lived in. Some were Viet
Nam veterans, drafted or go to jail. Those were the rules in
Those days.
I also know that there are 380 prox living on the streets in
Down town Phoenix. There are as many as 3 5 to 40% who
Are veterans.
Human Service Campus wants to help these people. Would it
Be better to have a place where they could get a good nights
Rest, a meal, perhaps sent to an agency where they could get
Back on their feet. Of course I know not all could be or even
Want help. But think they are living outside and wandering
For all to see. Better they had a place where help was possible.
I encourage you to talce a hard look at this case and what our
Responsibilities are to our brothers and sister's in Christ.
What makes me take such a hard look at this bill is I know
What's out there, the fear, the helpless feelings, the sleepless
Nights while we all live in comfort. But by the Grace of God,
This could be us, one of our children or a relative.
I know St Vincent de Paul, St Mary's Food Bank and the
Phoenix Rescue Mission are working very hard to help all
These homeless people to have a better life.
You are the Head of our City. You and your Council members
have the Power to make a difference in these people's lives.

Dear Mayor & Council,
I am Jeanne O'Brien a resident in Phoenix, AZ. My reason to write to you is to
support the request made by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul, and
Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter
beds for people experiencing homelessness. I am on the Board of Director for SVP and
routinely volunteer for Andre House at their dining room for over 20 years. You know
there are so many vulnerable people who need a safe place to sleep.
OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS MORE SHELTER BEDS!
• Nearly 500 people seek shelter at the Human Services Campus - and there are not
enough beds,
• 2019 Point-in-time Count shows the number of unsheltered people experiencing
homelessness has increased by 22% in just this last year.
• Phoenix has no options of shelter service for those struggling with SMI - seriously
mental ill - also substance abuse.
• A new type of shelter would serve this under-served population.
The situation we are facing should not occur, why can't we offer a temporary safe
place to sleep for these vulnerable human beings? We citizens of Phoenix have seen
this influx of people encamping throughout our streets and neighborhoods. Is this what
you want to happen? Become another Los Angeles or San Francisco? Where we have
to fight the tents, refuse and trash left behind, and needles of all things!!!
An increase of safe shelter beds will not just help these individuals but keep our
city safe also. I plead to you to allow a Special Permit Amendment for the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000.
PLEASE, PLEASE, think of the human life we can make a difference for, by being more
understanding and compassionate. It only take a small step to make a better choice for
others, and become a city who gives a bed and shelter for the homeless. We don't
have affordable housing, just like so many other cities across this United States, but we
can help with this one small step of more overnight beds.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the
Human Services Campus to expand the overnight beds.
Very truly yours,

Re Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment - Case #Z-SP-2-19-7
De r Mayor Gallego and Phoenix City Council:
It as been brought to my attention that there is a possibility that the City of Phoenix may be able to
inc ease the number of beds provided for our homeless population in Phoenix and I am asking that this be
do e. I have worked in the Andre House kitchen off and on for over twenty years and have worked in the
Su nyslope St. Vincent de Paul kitchen, too. During my many hours working with the homeless, I have not
onl fed but talked to these people, listened to their stories, and on a couple occasions, even helped them
fin jobs. Most of the people with whom I worked were just down and out people who fell upon hard times
an were trying to find their way back into society. Some had physical setbacks, some had mental illness
an some had addiction problems but almost everyone I met was lonely, scared and hungry. And each in
he r own way, alone.
nderstanding is that in Phoenix, we currently have 425 beds available at CASS but after having been
town and in Sunnyslope so often, I know that is not nearly enough. If this proposal were to pass, I am
we'd have a little more than twice that number which would allow more human beings to sleep in
ed instead of on sidewalks, in boxes, under bridges, and in other roach and rat invested areas. No
u
n being should have to live like this. And some of these people have pets to keep them comfortable,
iv them warmth and love them It breaks my heart every time I go to these areas,
n c nclusion, I plan to continue to work with the homeless but any additional help I can get from the City
f P oenix would make my job easier as my friends and I would not feel as compelled to go out on our own
ffe ing water in the summer, blankets in the winter, dog food to their pets, and someone to listen to their
or es as I would know they at least have a place to sleep at night, But then again, I'd probably still do
a I do - it would just nice that when I tell them to have a good night, I know they'll be safe.
a k you for your consideration and your vote.

RE: Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Vice Mayor Waring,
My name is Mike Sumnicht and I am a resident of District 2 in the City of Phoenix. I
am writing to request your support for the above case that will come before the
Phoenix City Council.
The Special Permit Amendment is intended to increase the number of shelter beds
provided by the Human Services Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul and Andre House
from the current number of 425 beds to 1,000 total beds for these three facilities.
The Amendment will allow the addition of beds in the CASS building from 425 beds
to 700 beds (this building has a certificate of occupancy for up to 700 beds), add 80-
100 beds for a new low-barrier shelter provided by Andre House, with the
remaining 200 beds for temporary weather relief situations (excessive heat, cold or
rain).
While the total increase in bed numbers is very important, I would like to address
the Andre House portion of this request. I volunteer on a weekly basis at Andre
House and have seen the effects of homelessness. Having said that, there is a portion
of the homeless population that does not have access to any shelter, specifically
those people who are struggling with serious mental illness and substance abuse
issues. This means that many people are forced to sleep on the streets in this
neighborhood.
Andre House is proposing to build a low-barrier facility adjacent to their current
property to serve this under-served population of homeless women and men. I think
it is notable that Andre House receives no public money to provide these services ...
private donors provide their money and time indicating their commitment to ease
the homeless situation.
Homelessness is obviously a very complicated issue. Incremental steps to get the
people off the streets and into shelters are imperative to encourage them to seek
help and decrease the homeless population.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus. Please feel free to contact me for any further questions or
comments.
Very truly yours,
Mike Sumnicht

Dear Councilman Sal
I've worked closely with homeless organizations since the summer of 1962 when I st arted working for
our family company, The O'Malley Lumber Companies. In the sixties, I would clean up after them on the
sides of our buildings and along the railroad tracks around the 17th Avenue underpass and later on 11th
Avenue where the current shelter at CASS is located.
The homeless need help and understanding. Andre House and the Human Services Campus are offering
their facilities to this effort. I worked and supported Andre House for years. Since Andre House began, I
have served on several committees in the area for people experiencing homelessness in an effort to
solve logistic, mental health, nutritional, volunteer and safety issues.
Our family owned the warehouse property adjacent to Andre House at 926 W. Jackson. We sold it
within the last year to Andre House so they could renovate the warehouse as a full shelter for the most
vulnerable of people on the streets. Because of the artificial limit of 425 beds, CASS is forced to turn
away people from their shelter. I am not sure why the city imposes this cap. Why is it that over all these
years, the City of Phoenix cannot keep their promise to help the homeless? City employees and
councilmembers have made promises and then ran away from the myriad of issues.
Right now the City is setting up roadblocks in the planning of this facility. Why? It is time to be proactive
and look at what Andre House and the Human Services Campus is offering to the City. This is the right
thing to do. They are not asking the city for money to build a new facilitate or even fund the programs
that will give the homeless the assistance they desperately need in the form of shelter, showers and
mental health counseling. This is a way to give them the safety and dignity they deserve.
I would really like to know what the objections are to this project so that I may address them.

Dear Sal DiCiccio:
We are Terry and Jan Hoeschler writing regarding the Human Services Campus, St.
Vincent de Paul and the Andre House request to modify the existing special use permit
which now limits the occupancy to 425 shelter beds. We are very familiar with the
critical need for additional beds. Together we have been Monday morning volunteers
at St. Vincent de Paul for 14 years. Jan has worked Wednesday evenings at Andre
House nearly 20 years. We see the lack of shelter capacity at 6 a.m. and again after
7pm at night. The encampments have arisen throughout the nearby streets due to lack
of shelter beds.
Many of the folks turned away from shelters are often the most vulnerable - women
and many folks with mental health issues. Substance abuse incidents can add another
element of danger to those unprotected on the street. Add to that the extreme and
brutal summer heat and days of harsh winter cold and rain.
The request is to raise the current capacity of 425 beds to an additional 525 beds - or a
total of 1000 beds in space already existing and owned. We understand that at least
450-500 people are turned away each month because there aren't enough shelter
beds. Adding a low barrier shelter option would be helpful for those struggling with
serious mental illness and substance abuse. Not to mention the benefit of additional
sanitary facilities to those with none.
Our understanding is that this expansion, if approved, will not impact the city financially
or increase the need for additional police presence, in fact, it may reduce incidences on
the streets at night.
Sal, we are residents of your district (85016) and would greatly appreciate your support
and that of other city council members to increase the capacity to 1000 shelter beds in
the Human Service Campus, Andre House and St. Vincent de Paul.. Many wonderful
service providers and volunteers are doing all they can to help alleviate homelessness
in Phoenix. Your positive votes will do much to help a difficult situation.

Dear Mayor and Council,
The purpose of this letter is to urge you to consider approving the shelter bed permit
expansion introduced by the Human Service Campus, St. Vincent de Paul, and Andre
House in Downtown Phoenix. This permit would change the existing cap of 425 and
increase it to a total of 1,000 beds. The Human Services Campus turns away up to 500
individuals per month, so approving this permit would offer these people a safe place to
sleep and helps them be closer to services that may help them obtain jobs, housing,
and more helpful services.
As a resident of the Phoenix area, I drive through the area surrounding the capital and
have seen the need for a change surrounding the homeless issue. Individuals are
setting up tents and creating their own place to sleep because of a lack of availability in
the shelter. This is not right and these people deserve a place to safely rest and be
protected from the heat, and the dangers that come with sleeping out in the open every
night
I strongly urge you to consider approving the amendment for the restricted permit on the
number of beds on the Human Service Campus, St. Vincent de Paul, and Andre House
in Downtown Phoenix.

be n a volunteer in Andre House's dining room for 2 years. I have helped serve dinners along with helping to
or anize and distribute donations to those in need. I used to have a different impression of those in need before I
stated to interact with them. It helped me to realize that most of the people have some sort of banier that makes
it uch more difficult to be a citizen that can support one's self. While serving dinner, I have encountered so
m y vulnerable people who need a safe place to sleep. Our community needs more shelter beds.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking shelter for the

Th re simply aren't enough beds for the people seeking shelter in Phoenix. Each month, over 450 people that
co e to the Human Services Campus are turned away, due to the lack of beds. Individuals seeking a safe place
to leep should be provided with one. Many of the guests I have met at Andre House are struggling with serious
me tal illness or substance abuse. By giving these people a safe place to rest for the night, we are giving them a
leg up to help them to begin to deal with their other issues. It's hard to think about seeking mental health care or
wo k on gaining employment, when you can't even sleep in a safe environment. Providing more beds would be
a ·n-win for all parties .... Phoenix residents without a home would have a safe place to sleep at night and would
be ne step closer to tackling their other issues, and the City of Phoenix would see a reduction in the number of
enclpments throughout the city.

Dear Council Members and Administration of Maricopa County
It is with a sincere heart that we write this letter on behalf of the homeless in the Phoenix area.
Although we are Rio Verde residents, we look into the faces of homeless persons when we
volunteer at Andre House. The people are young adults, middle adults, and older adults. Some
are the working poor, others just fell on bad times. The one thing that strikes us is that the
individuals we serve thank us and bless us for helping them. Amazing.
I've worked as a nurse all of my employed life in the hospital, home care, and academic

adjacent to Mi)W9-LJkee Wisconsin, I have a Ma~ter'$ oegree in Nursing in Community Health

health care services for an underserved Milwaukee population. I've worked with many sectors of
the population during my years of employment and continue to be dedicated to underserved

My husband and I have seen first hand the needs of the Andre House guests. The most

from the hospital that day from major surgery. They had to sleep on the streets that night. I will
never forget the people of Andre House and the staff.
We believe in social justice and the importance of caring tor those in need. We implore you to
continue to examine the need for homeless shelters and mental health shelters to give people a
chance to get up on their feet. Thank you for considering the budget to address our homeless
population. They are real people with real stories who only want to better themselves and be
safe from harm and the elements.
Thank you for considering this letter of support.

Dear Mayor Gallego and members of the Phoenix City Council,
September 7th, 2020
I am writing in support of Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment Case No. Z-SP-
2-19-7. I support adding shelter beds because not only will this help hundreds of suffering
people and possibly thousands in the future, but it hurts no one and makes communities
happier. SVDP already has a building where they have 425 bed and have the capacity for over
double that, so allowing these beds would be hurting no one and only helping. Community
members will be happy to see more homeless people with safe places to sleep. Homeless
members of our society are being marginalized more than ever due to COVID and this is one
sure thing we can do to help the massive Arizona homeless community. People deserve a bed
and shelter period.
I used to volunteer at an SVDP Kitchen once or twice every week and as soon as COVID hit I had
to completely stop volunteering and went into total isolation. These valuable members of our
society are already looked down upon and suffering through countless hardships and now
people are ever more afraid to help due to the virus. Allowing more beds for homeless people is
an easy good deed that upsets no one and could be essentially saving lives. I stand by this letter
and believe this should be acted upon as soon as possible, it does not make logical sense not to!
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services
Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I am in full support of the
service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Please feel
free to contact me with any further questions or comments.
Thank you for your time,

Dear Councilmember Nowakowski and Mayor Gallego,
As a District 7 resident, I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Pennit to
provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. There are so many
vulnerable people who need a safe place to sleep.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking
shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals are
forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. This situation should not occur.
Anyone requesting a temporary safe place to sleep should be able to receive one. As a resident, I
have also noticed more people than ever in encampments throughout the city. An increase in
shelter beds will not just help the people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling
with the challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness.

Dear Mayor Gallego and Councilmember Stark,
I support adding more beds because we are in a crisis. Now, this country is so full of
reactionary policies instead of investing in preventative strategies; the failure and refusal
of this nation to help its people should not fall on the shoulders of groups like Andre
House. For now, this is what we have. We are not complacent, this is not enough. Help
your people! Do the right thing! It should not be so complicated. Cast aside those
ridiculous and false narratives you have fed yourself as a politician, "citizen" of the
United States. No. We are guests on Turtle Island. We are humans existing on land.
Help each other, politics mean nothing.

Dear Councilmember Pastor and Mayor Gallego,
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint Vincent
de Paul, and Andre House to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing
homelessness. I have been to town hall meetings discussing this issue and heard both sides.
While the shelters in Phoenix are exceptional and have been modeled by other cities across
the country, they are limited by bureaucratic restrictions. The need for beds is urgent, now,
with so many people unemployed and living unsheltered in a heat wave. There is so much
work to be done in expanding the services and reach of the shelters in our cities, we need
many more shelters supporting our population in many more districts. But the most important
thing right now is to get care to as many of the people affected and start growing Phoenix's
ability to nurture and care for its unsheltered population.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services
Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I am in full support of
the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Please

up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. There are so many

I feel shame for my city when I see the ever-growing homeless encampments - many
not too far from the very lawmakers who ignore them year after year at the capital.
These people need help. They are humans, and they are Arizonans and that should be
enough for our elected leaders to take action. In lieu of our state leaders working to
solve this humanitarian crisis, I ask the City of Phoenix to step up and do this small
action to help save lives. But this does not solve the problem. I implore you all to work
towards a solution so we aren't in the position a year from now.

Dear Mayor and City Council,
I support adding shelters because people should not be forced to live on the streets. We can
do better. People experiencing homelessness could be any one of us at any time. The police
feel they are caught in the middle between property owners and their humanity towards
people just trying to survive. There is example after example of abuse. During the coronavirus
crisis, homelessness was a pre-existing condition that made matters much worse. How do you
keep your self and your belongings clean? How do you maintain at least 6 feet distance from
everyone? With the upcoming economic crisis, we can expect evictions to rise and more
people to become homeless. We need to act now.

l am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I am a volunteer at Andre House, and
over time it has really become a home for. I have grown so close to the people that we serve
every night, and so I am writing this letter to speak on their behalf for more shelter beds.
By providing shelter beds, the homeless people who struggle to participate in the
traditional shelter model (people with pets, excessive belonging, mental illness, and substance
abuse struggles) will have a place to sleep. Currently there is no other shelter option for them. In
addition to the people who cannot access shelters, many of the people who could qualify are
turned away. Around 450-500 people each month are denied a shelter bed due to lack of space.
That number is increasing over time, with an increase by 22% in the last year.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to l 000. I an1 in full support

help the people who are in desperate need of help.

I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use permit to provide up lo
I 000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. T have worked with the homeless who
are denied shelter at night while volunteering at Andre House, and it breaks my heart knowing
that some of the amazing people I have met there are being treated so poorly.
As it stands, 450 people who need a place to sleep are denied one by the Human Services
Campus. This number is only set to increase if nothing changes, according to the 2019 Point-in-
Time Count, the number of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22%
in the last year. Some of these unsheltered people, as well as some of the people I volunteer with,
are in need of a low barrier shelter, but there is no available option for them. Many of these
people are struggling with serious mental illness or substance abuse. By increasing the number of
shelter beds that the Human Service Campus can provide to homeless people, you will pull them
out of parks, roads, and alleys.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to l000. I am in full support
of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix.
Something needs to be done. The homeless that are forced to sleep outside every night are people
who deserve a safe nights rest. On top of that, The neighborhoods would be made safer by the
added shelter beds.

As the Finance Director of the Human Services Campus, I have seen firsthand the level
of commitment and hard work that goes into operating this crucial establishment. I am amazed
every day by how many lives are impacted and improved through the services that are being

Directors of the Human Services Campus will stop at nothing in their pursuit of addressing and
resolving the growing needs of our homeless population.

Dear Mayor and Council,
1/22/2020
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a volunteer at Andre House I
have seen firsthand the people who are being denied beds at night. Many of our guests are
wonderful people who are in need of a place to stay but the community is not providing good
opportunities for them to get help.
With the current system, around 500 homeless peo~le who go the Human Services
Campus seeking shelter are turned away and forced to sleep on the street. Furthermore, the
number of unsheltered homeless people in Phoenix has been rising for the past few years, with
a 22% increase from 2018 to 2019. Currently, the city of Phoenix has no shelter available to
homeless people who struggle with addiction or mental illness. As it stands, only having 425
beds to help those who are in desperate need for it. The current limit on shelter beds is
unacceptable.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1000. I am in full
support of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix.
By providing your support in changing the Special Use Permit, you would be giving hundreds of
people a safe place for them to sleep. Please feel free to contact me for any further questions or
comments.

Dear Mayor and Council,
1 am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use permit to provide up to
1000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I am a volunteer at Andre House and
have worked directly with homeless people who are in desperate need of these beds. Many of
them are scared people who want a safe place to rest their head.
With the current shelter bed cap, 450-500 homeless people aren't allowed a safe shelter
area. If the number of shelter beds were to be increased these people would not be forced out
onto the streets. The proposition brought up would take homeless people out of Phoenix parks,
canals, and alleys. This is a problem that requires immediate action, as the arnotmt of unsheltered
homeless people is on the rise, with a 22% increase from 2018 - 2019. If something is not done
to address the larger number of homeless people in our city, than more and more homeless
people will be forced to sleep on the streets. On top of that, with an increase in low barrier
shelter beds will provide a safe space for any homeless person suffering from mental illness or
substance abuse, as currently, there is no other shelter option available to them. These people are
still valuable members of our community who deserve to sleep safely.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1000. I am in full support
of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. This
would be extremely beneficial to the hundreds that go without beds each night. Please feel free to
contact me for any further questions or comments.

I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use permit to provide up to
1000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I am lucky enough to work at Andre
House because I get to meet with some of the wonderful people who struggle with homelessness.
These people need shelter, and the best way to provide that for them is to change the Special Use
Permit.
Each month, 450-500 people are denied shelter because there aren't enough shelter
beds, but not because there is not enough space. This issue is also becoming much worse, as the
number of unsheltered homeless people increased by 22% from 2018 to 2019. On top of that
there is no low barrier shelter available for those who cannot meet the requirements of
traditiona.1 shelter models.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1000. I am in full support
of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. The
people of Phoenix who can't get shelter need your help.

Dear Sirs,
I am a resident of Phoenix and work in downtown Phoenix. I strongly support the organizations within
the Human Services Campus. The Campus provides great services for Phoenix residents, that are currently
experiencing homelessness. The Campus is unique in that there are over 20 agencies located in one
location that all collaborate to assist in ending homelessness.
I am unaware of any other major
municipality that can boast of such a great service for their residents.
The Human Services Campus and the City of Phoenix have provided a great model for other communities
to follow. Many other cities visit the Campus in hopes of creating a similar environment. The zoning
change would be a natural evolution to t he great progress and services currently in place.
With the currently approved 425 beds, many Phoenix residents that are experiencing homelessness and
seeking shelter for the night, are needlessly turned away because thos(l beds are filled. These individuals
are forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. They often end up sleeping in the
doorways of businesses, City parks, or in the alleys or yards in the neighborhoods close to the downtown
area. This situation should not occur. Anyone requesting a bed should be able to receive one.
I respectfully urge you as representatives of the City of Phoenix, to approve the request made by the
Human Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000.

I 000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a volunteer at Andre House I have
spent a lot of time working with and getting to know the homeless population of Phoenix. So
many of our guests are absolutely wonderful people who deserve the world, but, due to the
restrictive permit on the shelter beds, can't find shelter for the night.
The city of Phoenix must do more the address the problem that the unsheltered homeless
face everyday. Each month, 450-500 people seek shelter at the Hwnan Services Campus and are
turned away because there aren't enough shelter beds. According to the 2019 Point-in-Time
Count, the number of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22% in the
last year. In the history of Phoenix, we have never had a shelter option to provide shelter services
for people who strnggle to participate in the traditional shelter model(people with pets, excessive
belongings, mental illness, and substance abuse struggles.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human

Dear Mayor and Council,
My name is Susan Maynard. I am writing in support of the request made by the Human
Services Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use
Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a resident
of the area of the human services campus, I experience the issues related to unsheltered
homelessness everyday simply by walking around my neighborhood. Tee direct encounters with
those experiencing homelessness I experience in my own neighborhood have made it clear to
me that there must be an expansion of the amount of shelter beds.
The current permitting only allows for 450 shelter beds which falls short of dealing with
the evolving issue of homelessness. According to the 2019 Point-in Time Count, the number of
unsheltered people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22 percent in the last year.
However, because of the current permitting, the human services campus is forced to turn away
around 500 people a month. This is what has mainly contributed to the significant year to year
increase of unsheltered homelessness, and these realities directly affect my neighborhood and
are an everyday reality for me and others in my community. By providing permitting for more
shelter beds, the Human Services Campus can safely move the population of people
experiencing homelessness off of the streets, helping the residents in my neighborhood
struggling with the challenges associated with unsheltered homelessness.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human

to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As a resident of the area of the human

community. It is not difficult to notice the number of people without shelter in my neighborhood, and
direct encounters with those experiencing homelessness have made it clear to me that there must be an
expansion of the number of shelter beds.
The current permit, which allows for only 425 beds, does not allow for a sufficient amount of
shelter beds to deal with the growing population of those experiencing homelessness who are
unsheltered. According to the 2019 Point-in Time Count, the number of unsheltered people experiencing
homelessness has increased by 22 percent in the last year. However, because of the current permitting,
the human services campus is forced to turn away around 500 people a month. This is compounded by
the fact that Phoenix has not had any shelter options for people struggling with serious mental illness in
recent years. This is what has mainly contributed to the significant year to year increase of unsheltered
homelessness, and these realities directly affect my neighborhood. By providing permitting for more
shelter beds, the Human Services Campus can safely move the population of people experiencing

I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint Vincent de
Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter
beds for people experiencing homelessness. There are so many vulnerable people who need a
safe place to sleep. Our community needs more shelter beds.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking
shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals
are forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible. This situation should not
occur. Anyone requesting a temporary safe place to sleep should be able to receive one. As a
resident, I have also noticed more people than ever in encampments throughout the city. An
increase in shelter beds will not just help the people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods

Special Permit Amendment request. I support adding shelter beds because this can be
a first step to a person progressing toward their goals. I am a licensed clinical social

bed to sleep on, allows them to feel more secure and confident to work toward bigger
goals such as employment, housing, etc.

Dear Mayor Kate Gallego,
I definitely support more beds for the homeless; especially in the hot summers that
we experience here in Phoenix. No one can be so heartless for their fellow humans
that they let them suffer so on the streets at night. We think twice about letting our
dogs go for a walk on the hot pavement but not about our fellow humans that must
experience the hot pavement day and night. They are people with problems that
society has been unable to solve but at least we can provide them with a little
comfort.
Please approve the request submitted by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de
Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000
shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness.
We have experienced a growth in population in Phoenix; let us experience more beds

in encampments throughout the city. An increase in shelter beds will not just help the
people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling with the challenges
associated with unsheltered homelessness.

I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint Vincent de
Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000 shelter
beds for people experiencing homelessness. There are so many vulnerable people who need a
safe place to sleep. Our community needs more shelter beds.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness seeking
shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled. These individuals are

Dear City Council and Major of Phoenix:
This is in response to an email reaching out for help in advocating for the approval of a zoning
request to extend the# of shelter beds to 1,000 as a result of insufficient capacity at CASS.
I did some research and found that the City of Phoenix should not deny t his petition because
they are in great part the ones exacerbating this problem of homelessness in the first place. I
read a report entitled 2015-2019 Analysis to Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, City of
Phoenix, Arizona found at https://www.phoenix.gov/nsdsite/Documents/nsd_rp_aitfh.pdf
Since I am not a lawyer or an expert in housing issues and such report is 181 pages long, I just
copied and pasted some parts of this report highlighting what I think is supportive evidence in
arguing for an expansion of bed capacity at Andre House.
I also read somewhere else that "Identifying homeless people as a class to be regulated by
zoning is unconstitutional, violating the equal protection clause." Following are excerpts from
the research report which I hope can help you in this endeavor.
"Stakeholders described areas of South Central Phoenix as having higher poverty levels that
make housing less affordable due to lower income and wages. Downtown Phoenix was
identified as being in need of more affordable housing for families. Stakeholders identified
additional barriers to affordable housing including mental illness, past homelessness, criminal
records, predatory lending in minority communities, limited English Proficiency, credit history
requirements, limited ADA compliant properties for large families, and housing units for
disabled and elderly residents. Native American communities were reported to face significant
barriers due to restrictions based on past substance abuse or criminal histories. Stakeholders
reported a need for supportive housing for those with mental illness, disabilities, the elderly,
and those with a past of homelessness. Additionally, stakeholders reported long waiting lists
for housing vouchers due to there not being an exit strategy from the Section 8 program. An
eighteen month limit on TANF benefits and a lack of child care subsidies were also reported as
barriers." (page 74)
"Finally, affordable rent for the mean wage of a renter is $802 in the City of Phoenix. Based on
the snapshot below, only 30.2% of renters pay less than $749 per month in rent, a number
1
closer to the $802 affordability rate. However, a fairly high percentage (42.4%) of renters, pay
$1,000 per month or more towards rent, an amount that exceeds the affordability rate by at
least $198 per month. Owners and renters with a severe cost burden are at risk of
homelessness. Cost-burdened households that experience a financial setback often must
choose between rent and food or rent and health care for their families or face eviction or
foreclosure." (page 72)
"There also is potential risk of fair housing discrimination under Issue #7. Under Phoenix's
zoning ordinance, GHHs and assisted living homes must be spaced at least 1,320 feet from
another such home. And under the state Developmental Disabilities Act, residential facilities for
persons with development al disabilities must be separated by at least a 1,200 feet radius.
Research did not indicate that a similar spacing requirement has been adjudicated in Arizona or
by the 9th Circuit that would provide precedent for the constitutionality of A.R.S. § 36-582(H} or
Phoenix's zoning ordinance. However, the Department of Justice and HUD take the position,
and federal courts that have addressed the issue mostly agree; that spacing and density
restrictions for housing for persons with disabilities are generally inconsistent with the FHA
and discriminatory. See, e.g., Horizon House Developmental Serv., Inc. v. Township of Upper
Southampton, 804 F. Supp. 683, 693 (E.D.Pa. 1992) (invalidating 1,000 feet separation
requirement), aff'd without opinion, 995 F.2d 217 {3rd Cir. 1993). If challenged, the jurisdiction
would have to make a showing that the ordinance was passed to protect a compelling
governmental interest (e.g. over-concentration of GHH's could adversely affect individuals with
disabilities and would be inconsistent with the goal of integrating persons with disabilities into
the wider community) and that the spacing requirement is the least restrictive means of
protecting that interest." (page 126)
"Phoenix's spacing requirements limit the overall aggregate capacity of housing for persons
w ith disabilities even if the need in the community or region is greater than what the spacing
limitations would allow. Accordingly, Phoenix is given a score of 2 for Issue #7, and it is
emphasized that there is a strong potential for litigation on this issue. The restrictions creat e a
time-consuming and expensive hurdle to overcome for housing providers and residents in need
2
of supportive housing. Additionally, many persons within the protected class may not have the
sophistication, resources, or adequate legal representation to challenge such discriminatory
limits. Rather than enforcing spacing restrictions, if the City believes a particular neighborhood
has its "fair share" of housing for persons with disabilities; it could offer incentives to providers
to locate future homes in other neighborhoods." (page 127)
"Another area for improvement would be for Phoenix to adopt a reasonable accommodation
ordinance for making requests for reasonable accommodation/modification in land use, zoning
and building regulations, policies, practices and procedures (Issues #5). The FHA requires
accommodation in rules, policies, and procedures if such accommodation (1) is reasonable and
(2) necessary (3) to afford persons with a disability the equal opportunity to use and enjoy a
dwelling. 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B). The requirements for reasonable accommodation under the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) are the same as those under the FHA. 42 U.S.C. 12131(2).
Federal and state fair housing laws require that municipalities provide individuals with
disabilities or developers of housing for people with disabilities flexibility in the application of
land use and zoning and building regulations, practices and procedures or even waiving
certain requirements, when it is necessary to eliminate barriers to housing opportunities.
However, the FHA does not set forth a specific process that must be used to request, review,
and decide a reasonable accommodation. Currently, the City's code does not provide a clear
and objective process by which persons with disabilities may request a reasonable
accommodation to zoning, land use, and other regulatory requirements. (page 127)

Dear Mayor Gallego,
I am writing in support of Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7. I support adding shelter beds because
we are all one medical bill away from homelessness. We are all one mistake at work
away from homelessness. We are all one lifestyle mistake away from homelessness.
We are all people of this world. As a country, we should provide decency to even our
homeless. Not all people of the community got there because of unavoidable mistakes,
but all people in these positions are facing unavoidable circumstances that make life
incredibly difficult. It's hard to get back on your feet when you do not have an address to
put on a job application or food and water to nourish you for work. The list goes on.
Currently, with approval for only 425 beds, individuals experiencing homelessness
seeking shelter for the night are needlessly turned away because all beds are filled.
These individuals are forced to return to the streets to seek shelter wherever possible.
This situation should not occur. Anyone requesting a temporary safe place to sleep
should be able to receive one. As a resident, I have also noticed more people than ever
in encampments throughout the city. An increase in shelter beds will not just help the
people on the streets, it will help neighborhoods struggling with the challenges

Dear Mayor Gallego,
Please accept this letter as a statement of support of the Human Services Campus Special
Permit Amendment Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7. I support adding shelter beds because I know it is the
first step to getting people off the streets. Adding these beds does NOT increase homelessness!
No one is going to willingly trade their own bed for a bed in a shelter. When you are homeless
and you want to solve that problem, it starts with a safe, clean place to sleep. If you don't
believe this, you go spend the next week sleeping outside, without any protection, and let me
know how your job performance is effected. Or perhaps we could ask your coworkers how they
feel about your appearance/performance?
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services
Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I am in full support of the

Dear Mayor and Council,
January 21, 2020
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. While volunteering at Andre House, I
have gotten to know many of the people who this permit amendment would directly affect.
These are good people, who are desperately seeking a place to spend the night, but have
nowhere to find help.
Although I have met some, it is only a small handful. 450-500 people go to the Human
Services Campus each day and are denied a shelter bed because the capacity had already
been met. On top of that, the shelter bed permit was made at a time that did not account for the
increase in unsheltered homeless people. The 2019 Point-in-Time Count found that there has
been a 22% increase in unsheltered homeless people since 2018, yet there has been no effort
made to offer support to this increasing population. In addition, some homeless people suffer
from severe mental illness or substance abuse, and in Phoenix there is no location for these
victims to find shelter.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1000. I am in full
support of the service providers working to help people experiencing homelessness in Phoenix.
Something needs to be done to provide help and support to our fellow humans who go without
shelter each night.

Dear Mayor Kate Gallego,
I definitely support more beds for the homeless; especially in the hot summers that
we experience here in Phoenix. No one can be so heartless for their fellow humans
that they let them suffer so on the streets at night. We think twice about letting our
dogs go for a walk on the hot pavement but not about our fellow humans that must
experience the hot pavement day and night. They are people with problems that
society has been unable to solve but at least we can provide them with a little
comfort.
Please approve the request submitted by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de
Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000
shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness.
We have experienced a growth in population in Phoenix; let us experience more beds
for the unfortunate.

RE: Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z·SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor and Council,
December 15, 2019
I am writing this letter in support of the special perrnit am~ndment
requested by Andre House, The Human Services Carnpus, and St. Vincent de Paul.
This request would increase the number of shelter becis from 425 to a maximum
of 1,000. Changing this restrictive cap is ll(.'Ccssary because the number of
unsheltered individuals has been rising since 2014, yet the shdtt:r bed maximum
has stayed at 425. This is a necessity for our unsheltered neighbors who do not
have a safe place to sleep that protects them from the heat or cold.
Jt is disheartening to see more and more people sleeping on the streets. f
believe that everyone has the right to basic needs like food, water and shelter.
Many of the people sleeping outside are using the services at the Human Services
Campus. They deserve a safe place to sleep.
J respectfully urge you to consider approving this amendment to the
existing Special Use Permit, thus allowing the Human Service Campus, St. Vincent
de Paul, and Andre House to shelter more people. I believe that our city needs a
plan to address homelessness. Approving this request to add more shelter beds
wouJd be a great start to that plan. Please feel free to follow up with any questions
or concerns.
Very truly yours,

Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use
Permit. I believe that approving this request is a necessity for our city. As a supporter of
the Human Services Campus. I am aware of the rising number of unsheltered

unsheltered individuals in Maricopa County and I am concerned that we do not have
enough beds to shelter everyone in need.
The many service providers on the Campus work diligently to provide people
with the tools and resources they need to exit homelessness. Because of the 425 bed
limit, they are not able to provide a bed for all of the people they are serving. This is
inhumane. f believe that everyone has the right to a safe place to sleep.
Approving this request to modify the existing permit is a necessary step in our

Dear Mayor and Council,
December 12, 2019
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus. St
Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up
to 1.000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I commend the great work of
these organizations and am in total support of their request to modify their permit
With the current cap of just 425 beds, around 500 people who go the Human
Services CamptJs seeking shelter are turned away and forced to sleep on the street each
month. 1 have noticed the effects of this inadequate shelter capacity and it \s discouraging
to see on a daily basis. The 2019 Point-in-Time data shows a 22 percent increase in the
number of unsheltered Individuals since 2018. I believe that the artincial cap of 425 beds
is unacceptable because it fails to accommodate the persistent increase of unsheltered
people year-after-year. The individuals sleeping outside are my unsheltered neighbors.
They are residents of our city and your constituents, regardless of their housing status. I
believe that we should do everything we can to provide them with the basic rights of
safety and health.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus, Andre House and St Vincent de Paul to expand the maximum number of
beds from 425 to 1000. I futty support the efforts of the service providers working to help
people experiencing homelessness. Amending the Special Use Permit would give
hundreds of people a safe place to sleep. This is an urgent and necessary step if we wish to
do something about the rise in unsheltered homelessness in our city. Thank you for your
time and consideration.

Dear Mayor and Council,

Please accept this letter of support in response to the request made by the
Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the
existing Special Use Permit, limiting the number of shelter beds to 425. The
amendment would allow them to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people
experiencing homelessness. I am in full support of this request proposed by these
agencies.
1 support this request because I believe that everyone deserves a safe place
to sleep. The number of unsheltered people is rising and the service providers are
attempting to help our neighbors on the street and our community by bringing
them in and offering them a shelter bed. The Point-in-Time Count states that
unsheltered homelessness increased by 22 percent in 2019. ln knowing that more
people lack shelter than ever before, it is our responsibility to do whatever it t.akes
to provide people with the necessities for safety and health.
It is disheartening to see the effects of unsheltered homelessness each day.
As a supporter of the Human Services Campus, Andre House and St. Vincent de
Paul, I urge the City of Phoenix to approve their request to increase the maximum
number of beds from 425 to 1000. 1 believe that we need a plan to end

Dear Mayor and Council,
I am wr\ting this letter in support of the request mode by trie Human
Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the
existing Special Use Permit. I believe thot approving this request is a
necessity for our city. As o supporter of the Human Services Compus, l am
aware of the rising number of unsheltered individuals. According to the
2019 Point-in-Time Count, there are over 3,000 unsheltered individuals in
Maricopa County and I am concern~d that we do not hav~ enough beds to
sheller everyone in need.
The mony service providers on the Campus work diligently to provide
people with the tools and resources they need to exit homelessness.
Because of the 425 bed Urnit, they ore not able to provide o bed for oll of
the people they are serving. This is inhumane. I believe that everyone hos
the right to a safe ptace to steep.
Approving this request to modify the existing permit Is o necessary
step in our city's efforts to address homelessness, which affects thousands
of people per year. I strongly and respectfully urge you to consider
approving this request. Thank you far toking the lime to review my letter.
Please feel free to reach out with any further questions or concerns.

As 1t stands tho 425 bed limit has been existenco since the campus was

that the Human Services Campus can provide to homeless people. we will be able to
help even more people end their homelessness. Numbers and data aside. it is
demoralizing for people- to have to sleep outside without access to restrooms and water
when they are existing buildings al the Human Services Campus and adjacent to Andre
House that could accommodate more people.
I believe that shelter is one of the most basic human rights. The people who are
unsheltered are still our neighbors. I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the

shelter beds at a maximum of 425 beds. These agencies are willing to provide up to l000
shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness, and we should do whatever it takes to
support this effort and provide people with the necessities for safety, health and well-belng.
According to the 2019 Point-In-Time Count, the number of unsheltered people
experiencing homelessness has increased by 22 percent in the last year. I see the effects of
homelessness daily, and it is clear to me that there is a growing need for a timely solution. Many
individuals are sleeping on the streets or places not meant for human habitation. These are our
unsheltered neighbors and they deserve basic necessities like food, water and shelter.
As a supporter of the service providers working to help people end their homelessness,
believe this amendment is a necessity so they may continue their work in helping stabili2e
people and find them housing. I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request
made by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to expand the

RE Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No, Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor and Council,
December 15, 2019
I am writing in support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, St
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to provide up to
1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. There is a growing need for more
shelter beds. I know how hard these ,Service providers are working to find people housing and
provide them with resources, and I fully support this request to bring people in off the streets.
The current permit, which aUows for only 425 beds, does not adequately provide
enough beds for the growing population of people who are sleeping outside. Did you know that
the 2019 Point-in-Time Count shows tha~ unsheltered homelessness has increased by over
200 percent since 2014? Despite the steady increase year-after-year, the maximum limit under
the existing Special Use Permit has remained the same. I have noticed the consequences of this
daily; I see more people than ever before who are sleeping in tents, afleys and other places that
are not meant for human habitation. It is dis-heartening to know that so many of our community
mernbers \acl< shelter. The individuals sleeping outside are our unsheltered neighbors. They too
deserve the basic righls of shelter, safety and health.
BY providing permitting for more shelter beds, the Human Services Campus can safely
move hundreds of people experiencing homelessness inside, thus providing them with
restrooms. water and a bed to sleep tn. I strongly and respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to
approve the request made by the Human Services Campus, Andre Hollse and St. Vincent de
Paul to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. I believe the City of Phoenix
should do whatever it can to provide shelter to people in need.

Over the last few years, I have noticed an Increasing number of people sleeping outside. The
2019 Point-in-Time Count for Maricopa County revealed a 22 percent increase in the last year" The
20+ agencies on the Human Services Campus and the non-profits nearby are doing aU they can to
aJJeviate this issue and aid ou1· unsheltered residents. however, they need to be able to provide
people with a safe place to sleep. It is disheartening to know that there are extensive resources
available to help people overcome homelessness, but that we cannot offer them the basic right to
safety, health and shelter:
1 respectfully urge you to consider approving the request made by the Human Servlces
Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to
1,000. r believe that we should do whatever it takes to provide people w\th a safe p\ace to s1eep. lt
would be beneficial to our City and our community to bring people in and address the crisis of

12/14/2019
The purpose of this le~er to suite my support for the request made by Andre House,
the Human Services Campu5.> and St. Vincent de Paul to increase shelter capacity from 425
to a maximum of 1,000. As someone who appreciates the great work that happens at the
Human Services Campusl I fully support their request to address unsheltered
homelessness.
Since the campus opened in 2005, I nave seen our city struggle to provide shelter for
people. The individuals using services at the Human Setvi~es Campus,_ Andre House and St.
Vincent de Paul are just as deserving of safe shelter as your other constituents. It 1s
dishearrenfng to see that although the unsheltered count has risen by 22 percent in the past
year (2019 Point~ln-Time Count), there ls a ltmit of tust 425 maximum shelter beds. We
have a responsfbility to do whatever it takes to provide an adequate number of shelter beds
in our community.
f urge the Mayor and Phoenix City Council to vote in favor of increasing the
maximum a.mount of shelter beds. This city needs a plan to address unsheltered
hor11elessness and the service providers at the Human Servi-ces Campus, Andre House and
St. Vincent de Paul are willing to shelter people in the-ir already, existing properties. I
believe that everyone has the right to slrnltet~ and this is a necessary step in addressing
unsheltered homelessi}ess. Pie~.se feel free to contact me with any filrther questions or

Dear Mayor and Council
'
The purpose of this letter is to show
my support for the request made by Andre House, the
Human Services Campus and St v·
'
· mcent de Paul to amend the existing Special Use Permit and
increase shelter capacity for
l
.
peop e experiencing homelessness. This permit approval is crucial to
address the need for shelter in our city. Offering unsheltered individuals a safe place to sleep is a
necessary first step in working With them to end their homelessness.
1 see the effects of homelessness on our City more and more each day. I believe everyone
should have access to a safe place to sleep and protection from the cold or heat. There are service
providers well prepared to shelter more people; they only need the approval of the City and Mayor
to amend this outdated Special Use Permit. The cap of 425 beds does noth\ng to accommodate the
a!arming rise in unsheltered homelessness. The 2019 Point-in•Time Count showed that the number
of people sleeping outside, or in places not meant for steeping, increased by 22 percent in the last
year. It is concerning to see that number rise and know that we have failed to provl<le adequate
shelter capacity. The people sleeping outside are our unsheltered neighbors. They are members of
our community who deserve a safe place to sleep.
I strongly and respectfully urge you to consider approvtng the amendment to the Special Use
Permit. As a supporter of the Human Service Campus, St. Vincent de Paul, and Andre House. l
believe that adding shelter beds is a necessary component of our city's response to homelessness.

Dear Mayor and Council,
December 13, 2019
l am writing to share my support of th~ tequest ma<le, by the Human Services
Campus, Saint Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use
permit which limits the number of shelter beds to 425. Thes<" agencies are seeking
the: ability to provide up to 1000 shelter beds for peoph:· t!Xperiendng
homelessness, and as a supporter of their efforts, I fully support this proposal.
As it stands, the 425 bed limit has been existence since the Campus was
founded in 2005. 'l'his number does nothing to address the fact that unsheltered
homelessness has been on the rise since 2014. The 2019 Point-in...,l'1me Count shows
a 22 percent increase in the last year alone. By increasing the number of shelter
beds that the Human Services Campus can provide to homeless people, we will be
able to help even more people end their homelessness. Numbers and data aside, it
is demoralizing for people to have to sleep outside without access to restrooms and
water when they are existing buildings at the Human Services Campus and adjacent
to Andre House that could accommodate more people.
I believe that shelter is one of the most basic human rights. The people who
are unsheltered are still our neighbors. l respectfully urge the City of PhoenLx to
approve the req11est made by the Human Services Campus, Andre House and St.
Vincent de Paul to increase the maximum nuinber of shelter beds to 1,000. Phoen1..'<.
needs to do something, and adding shelter beds is a necessary and beneficial step

As a supporter of the agencies working to help people end their
homelessness. 1 understand the gravity of this issue. The additional beds would
bring in individuals who are already on the street, helping them interact with
the necessary resources In ending t heir homelessness. We have a responsibility

This is .;in opportunity to vastly improve the way we address homelessness in

Since the cam-pus opened in 2.0051 I have seen o,ur city struggle tc provide shelter
for people. The individuals using services at the Human Services Campus, A11dre House
and St. Vin cont de P:ml Ul'"C just as deserving of safe sheltct· as yo1,1,r other cons\i.tucnts. \t
is disheartening to see that although the unsheltered count has risen by 22. percent i.n
tl1e past year (2019 Point-in-Time Count), there is a limit of just 425 maximum shelter
beds. We have a responsibility to do whatever it takes to provide an adequate number of
shelter beds in our community.
I urge the Mayor and Phoenix City Council to vote in favor of increasing the
maximum amount of shelter beds. This city needs a plan to address unsheltered
homelessness and the service pmviders at the Human Services Campus, Andre House
and St. Vincent de Paul are willing to shelter people in their already existing properties.

night. Each month, hundreds of people seek shelter at the Human Services

the number of beds.
This causes individuais to venture out into the streets, or nearby
neighborhoods because they have nowhere else to go. Individuals who lack
shelter are forced to move elsewhere to seek a place of rest. I believe that every
individual deserves shelter. If we want people to maximize the extensive resources

According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, the number of unsheltered
people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22 percent in the last

is a growing need for a timely solution. Many individuals are sleeping on the
streets or places not meant for human habitation. These are our unsheltered
neighbors and they deserve basic necessities like food, water and shelter.
As a supporter of the service providers working to help people end
their homelessness, I believe this amendment is a necessity so they may
continue their work in helping stabilize people and find them housing. l
respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the
Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to expand
the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. We need to do someth~ng
as a city about the number of people who lack a safe place to sleep each

The many service providers on the Campus work diligently to provide

Because of the 425 bed limit, they ore not able to provide o bed for all o1

I am writing In support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, Andre I-louse,
and St. Vincent de Paul. They are seeking to modify their Special Use Permit to provide up to 1,000
shelter beds. As a proud supporter of these agencies, I am in full support of their efforts to do
something about the number of people sleeping on the streets.
Since 2014, the amount of unsheltered individuals has been rising, as reflected in the 2019
Point-in-Time count. The 2019 Point-in-Time Count showed 3,188 lndlvlduals who were sleeping
outdoors or in other unsafe living conditions. With a limit of just 425 shelter beds, the Human
Services Campus is put in the tough position of providing people with resources to help them out
of homelessness, and then telling them that they are not allowed to provide them a shelter bed.
This is inhumane. I believe that everyone deserves shelter.
I strongly and respectfully urge you to consider approving an amendment to the Special
Use Permit limiting the number of shelter beds. The Human Service Campus, St. V\ncent de Pau\,
and Andre House are making an effort to shelter people who are sleeping outside, people who
deserve safety and shelter. The City of Phoenix has a responsibility to provide shelter for all of its
constituents, regardless of their housing status. Adding shelter beds is an important step in
improving our community's response to homelessness. Please fee\ tree to reach out or contact

Approving the request made by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre

Dear Mayot and Council,

I am writing in response to the request made by the Human Services Campus, Saint
Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use pennit to provide up to
I 000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I um a supporter of the work that is
beiug done by the people at these agencies, and l support the request that has been made to
address unsheltered homelessness.
I notice tl1e effects of homelessness daily, and it is a shame to see people struggling on
the streets. The 2019 Point-in-Time count has shown an increase by 22°/o of unsheltered
individuals since 2018 alone. Every human has a right to tho basic necessities of food, waler, and
shelter. People experiencing unsheltered homelessness need an immediate solution for their
safety and health.
I respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to consider approving the request made by the
Human Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1000. I am in full
support of a plan to address homeless, of which shelter beds are a necessary component. These
people in our community need our support Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

community. It is not difficult to notice the number of people without shelter. Direct encounters
witl1 those experiencing homelessness hnve made it clear to me that we must increase the
number of shelter beds.
The current permit, which allows for only 425 beds, does not allow for a sufficient
amount of shelter beds. According to the 2019 Point-inThne Count, the nmnber of unsheltered
people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22 pel'cent in the last year and by over 200
percent since 2014. Because of the current cap on the Special Use Permit, the staff at the Hu.man
Services Campus is unable to provide shelter to upwards of 400 people a month. I believe that
our inability to provide hundreds of people with a safe place to sleep is atrocious. All people
deserve access to basic needs-like food, water and shelter. People also deserve safety and health,
and it is unacceptable the hundreds of Phoenixicians lack safe sleeping accommodations.
I respectfu11y urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human
Services Campus to expand the maximum number of beds from 425 to 1,000. The City of
Phoenix has a responsibility to do something about the number of people sleeping outside.
These individuals are our nejghbors. They are your constituents regardless of their housing
status. I believe that adding shelter beds is a necessary step in addressing homelessness and
strengthening our community. Please feel free to reach out with 1;my additional questions or

Dear Mayor and Council,

I am writing this letter in support of the request made by the Human Services
Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existfng Special use
Permit. I believe that approving this request Is a necessity for our city, As a supporter of
the Human Services Campus, I am aware of the rising number of unsheltered
individuals. According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count. there are over 3,000
unsheltered Individuals In Maricopa County and I am concerned that we do not have
enough beds to shelter everyone in need.
The many service providers on the Campus work diligently to provide people with
the tools and resources they need to exit homelessness. Because of the 425 bed limit,
they are not able to provide a bed for all of the people they are serving. This is
Inhumane. I believe that everyone has the right to a safe place to sleep.
Approving this request to modify the existing permit is a necessary step in our
city's efforts to address homelesshess, which affects thousands of people per year. I
strongly and respectfully urge you to consider approving this request. Thank you for

The current permit, which allows for only 425 beds, does not adequately provide enough beds

Dear Mayor and Council ,

I" am Writing in sup-port of the request made by the Human services Cam us
Sam~ Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Per~lt to
provide up to r ,000 shelter beds. I can personally attest to the urgent need for action
to address the issue of unsheltered homelessness. The current permit, which provides
for only 425 ~eds, falls short of addressing the growing population of unsheltered
people expenencfng homelessness.
. Accordfng to the 2019 Pofnt-in Time Count, the number of unsheltered people
has increased by 22 percent in the last year. However, due to current permitting, the
human services campus is forced to turn away around 500 people a month for shelter.
These individuals are already using services, but because of the cap, there aren't
enough shelter beds. By allowing more shelter beds, the Human Services Campus,
Andre House and St. Vincent de Paul can help even more people overcome
homelessness and find housing. I encounter so many vulnerable people who need a
safe place to sleep. The addition of shelter beds would not only benefit people
experiencing homelessness, but it would benefit our entire community.
I respectf ulty urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the
service providers to increase the maximum number of shelter beds from 425 to 1,000.
This would act as a massive step forward for our city, a city that needs to do rnore to

RE: Human Services Campus Special Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor and Council,
'.12/16/19
Please accept this letter of support in response to the request made by the
Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to modify the existing
Special Use Permit, limiting the number of shelter beds to 425. The amendment would
allow them to provide up to 1,000 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. I
am in full support of this request proposed by these agencies.
I support this request because I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to
sleep. The number of unsheltered people Is rising and the service providers are
attempting to help our neighbors on the street and our community by bringing them In
and offering them a shelter bed. The Point-in-Time Count states that unsheltered
homelessness increased by 22 percent In 2019. In knowing that more people lack
shelter than ever before, it is our responsibility to do whatever it takes to provide people
with the necessities for safety and health.
ft is disheartening to see the effects of unsheltered homelessness each day. As a
supporter of the Human Services Campus, Andre House and St. Vincent de Paul, I urge
the City of Phoenix to approve their request to increase the maximum number of beds
from 425 to 1000. I believe that we need a plan to end homelessness in our city.
Approving the request to shelter more people is a way to work towards that plan.
Thank you for your time,

Dear Mayor and Council,

t 1e11 , pec1a\ Use. Permit to provide
up to 1,000 shelter beds. As a proud supporter of these agencies, I ain in full support of their
efforts to do something about the number of pitople sleeping on the streets.
Since 2014, the amount of unsheltered individuals has been rising, as reflected in the
2019 Point-in-Time count. The 2019 Point-in-Time Counc showed 3,188 Individuals who were
sleeping outdoors or in other unsafe living condhions. With a limit of just 425 she\ter beds, the
Human Services Campus is put in the tough position of providing people with resources i:o help
them out of homelessness, and then telling them that they are not allowed to provide them a
shelter bed. This is inhumane. I believe that everyone deserves shelter,
1 strongly and respectfully urge you to consider approving an amendment to the Sµecia\
Use Permit limiting the number of shelter beds. The H\.1man Service Campus1 St. Vincent de
Paul, and Andre House are making an effort to shelter people who are sleeping outslde, peop\e
who deserve safety and shelter. The City of Phoenix has a responsibility to provide she\ter for al
of its' constituents, regardJess of their housing status. Adding she\tei: beds is an important steJ
in improving our community's response to hom~less11ess. Please feel free to reach out or cont

Services Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House to expand the maximum number of beds
from 425 to 1000. I am In full support of the service providers working to help people
experiencing homelessness in Phoenix. Our city needs a solution to the overwhelming Increase
in the number of people sleeping outside. Sringing people of the street and into shelter benefits
both them and our community as a whole. Please feel free to contact me with any further
questions or concerns.

D,~~t Mayor and Council I
I am writing to show my full support of the request made by the l-luman Servi<:es
Campus, St. Vincent de Paul, and Andre House to modify the existing Special Use Permit to
provide up to 1,000 sheJter beds for people experiencing homelessness. As it now stands, the-t~
are only 425 beds and they are full every night, Each month, hundreds of people seek shelter at
the Human Services Campus and are turned away from shelter because the Special Use P~rmlt
limits the number of beds.
This causes individuals to venture out into the streets, or nearby neighborhoods because
they have nowhere else to go. Individuals who lack shelter are forced to move elsewhere to
seek a place of rest. I beHeve that every individual deserves shelter. If we want people to
maximize the extensive resoun:es made available by the agencies on the Human Services
Campus, we need to provide them with a safe place to sleep,
I urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services ~ampus,
St. Vincent de Paul. amd Andre House to increase the maxim-um number of beds from 425 to
1,000. This is a need in our community, as evident by the 2019 Point-in-Time Count which
revealed a 22 percent increase in unsheltered homelessness. The City of Phoenix needs a
strategy to address homefessness. Providing people with shelter is a critical component ofthat
strategy. ?!ease feel fr:ee to contact me with any further questions or comments.

'd
oeds. 1 know how hard these service providers are working to find people housing and prov, e
tt:cm wtth resources, and I fully support this request to bring people in off the streets.
The current permit. which allows for only 425 beds, does not adequately provide enough
beds for the growing population of people who are sleeping outside. Did you know that the 2019
PoinHn-Time Count shows that unsheltered homelessness has Increased by over 200 percent
since 2014? Despite the steady increase year-after-year, the maximum limit under the existing
Special Use Permit h~s remained the same. I have noticed the consequences of this daily; I see
more people than ever before who are sleeping in tents, alleys and other places that are not
meant for human habitation. It Is disheartening to know that so many of otir community
members lack shelter. The individuals sleeping outside are our unsheltered neighbors. They too
deserve the basic rights of shelter, safety and health.
By providing permitting for more shelter beds, the Human Services Campus can safely
move hundreds of people experiencing homelessness inside, thus providing them with
r,.stroorns, water and a bed to slaep in. I strongly and respectfully urge the City of Phoenix to
HYove the request mi;\de by tne H1,1man Services Campus, Andre House and st. Vincent de

RE: Human Services Campus Spedal Permit Amendment
Case No. Z-SP-2-19-7
Dear Mayor and Council,
December 14th, 2019
I am writing In support of the request made by the Human Services Campus, St. Vincent de
Paul and Andre House to amend the existing special use permit to provide a maximum of 1,000
shelter beds. I am in full support of this amendment and believe it would greatly benefit the
community, as well as the hundreds of people who lack shelter each night.
The unsheltered homeless population is steadily rising. The 2019 Point-in-Time Count
confirms rny observations and firsthand experiences as it revealed that unsheltered homelessness
increased by 22 percent in the last year. This community lacks adequate shelter capacity. The
consequence is that there are people using the resources available at the Human Services Campus
and trying to end their homelessness, who are sent to sleep in tents or alleys because the shelter is
full every night. This is disheartening and upsetting.
I strongly urge the City of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services
Campus, St. Vincent de Paul and Andre House because I believe that everyone has the right to
shelter, food and water. Increasing the maximum number of shelter bed means that we are
increas;ng access to safety and health. Our city should do whatever it takes to support this effort
and provide people with a safe place to sleep. People experiencing homelessness are already
vulnerable; they deserve shelter. Please fee/ free to contact me with any further questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,

According to the 2019 Point-in-Time Count, the number of unsheltered
people experiencing homelessness has increased by 22 percent in the last year. 1
see the effects of homelessness daily, and it is clear to me that there is a growing
need for a timely solution. Many individuals are sleeping on the streets or places
not meant for human habitation. These are our unsheltered neighbors and they
deserve basic necessities like food, water and shelter.
As a supporter of the service providers working to help people end their
homelessness, I believe this amendment is a necessity so they may continue their
work in helping stabilize people and find them ho-using. I respectfully urge the City
of Phoenix to approve the request made by the Human Services Campus, St.
Vincent de Paul and Andre House to expand the maximum number of beds from 425
to 1,000. We need to do something as a city about the number of people who lack a
safe place to sleep each need. This amendment to the existing Special Use Permit is
one way to address this crisis.

Dear Central City Village members,
I would like to voice my support for modifying the Special Permit area for the Human Services
Campus. We currently do not have a viable alternative and preferably it would be to expand shelter
beds regionally so the burden does not fall just on the City of Phoenix. In any given day there are
400 plus individual sleeping outside the campus in tents which is not safe for them or the immediate
neighborhood. My professional experience along with research and data tells me in order to end
homelessness there needs to be shelter and stabilization to achieve permanent housing which will
end one’s homelessness. The low-barrier shelter beds need to meet the needs of those they intend
to serve such as: allowing pets, individual’s belongings, providing an environment that someone
feels safe, accommodations for sheltering couples are necessary otherwise those sleeping outside
may not want to come into shelter , and have a strong case management component that includes
an employment services. The additional shelter beds that I will support need to meets those needs
as stated or otherwise there will still be an issue of homeless around the campus area. There is no
doubt that additional shelter beds are needed for individuals.
Because a regional shelter is not in the immediate plan I support the expansion based on the above
considerations, the individuals are already there and not going away. An idea might be to
provisionally approve the expansion for a set period of time to allow for creation of a regional
shelter model.
It’s the right thing to do!
