Our Reflection:
Although Santa Ana has 62.3% of its inhabitants employed, the city still has many homeless people. During our neighborhood walkabout experience, we met with unemployed homeless individuals stating that it was incredibly difficult to find a job, and access to obtain one was limited. They claimed that without transportation, they couldn't make the interview; without a phone number to leave, employers couldn't contact them; without medical treatment, it was hard to keep a job. Santa Ana should focus on creating more jobs and helping its residents access them. With half the population being male, Santa Ana should also create more emergency shelters for men, because most shelters are only open to women with children and families. With many residents being younger, it might be best to promote the importance of education.
