To: Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch Englander

As a business or property owner in District 12, I join with my colleagues in petitioning you to take immediate action to remedy the growing homeless population and permanent RV housing encampments along industrial park streets in Chatsworth and surrounding areas of District 12.

We are seeking a remedy for the blight, unsanitary conditions, property theft and business disruption that is adversely affecting not only our businesses but the economy of the San Fernando Valley. We cannot preserve and grow the economy of our beloved San Fernando Valley if our employees do not feel safe when they come to work and our businesses are plagued by theft and vandalism.

We urge you to work on behalf of the business owners, property owners and employees and the homeless who have taken up residence here to find a remedy for all the parties impacted by this situation.
