51 <br />Appendix A: Letter to Residents <br />[Date] <br />[address line 11 <br />[city, state zip] <br />Dear Orange County Resident: <br />I am writing to invite you to participate in the 2017 Survey of Mobile Home Residents, a process that is <br />being conducted by Orange County. This assessment is part of an effort to increase housing that is <br />affordable for Orange County mobile home park residents. <br />In Orange County we are aware of the challenges of having good housing that is affordable. Housing <br />costs continue to rise and some residents struggle to make ends meet. The County is involved in efforts <br />to increase housing that is affordable and to respond to the priorities of residents living in mobile home <br />parks. <br />We need the voices of mobile home residents in this process. To do this, we are conducting a survey to <br />learn more about your experiences. Members of the Family Success Alliance, an Orange County Health <br />Department initiative, will visit various mobile home parks in the coming weeks to conduct a survey and <br />will share the results of this survey with the County to help determine what actions can be taken to <br />support our mobile home park communities. <br />The survey is completely voluntary, and it should take no more than 30 minutes to complete. There are <br />no right or wrong answers. You may refuse to answer any question you don't feel comfortable with. <br />Your answers will be completely confidential. The information you give us will not be linked to you in <br />any way. Thanks in advance for your participation. <br />In the upcoming weeks someone may come to your door and ask you to complete this survey with us. If <br />you have any questions or comments about this assessment we would be happy to talk with you. You <br />can call Meredith McMonigle at 919 - 245 -2071 or email mmcmonigle @orangecountync.gov. <br />Thank you very much for helping with this assessment. <br />Sincerely, <br />Bonnie Hammersley <br />County Manager <br />12 <br />
