My name is Ya-Feng Wang.  I came to the State of Indiana about ten years ago due to a government job.  In Bloomington, IN, the housing issue is a big problem.  In the fall of 2018, I was homeless for about 4~5 months.  The previous managers at Cambridge Square Bloomington arranged to let me move into an apartment in Dec. 2018.  It is hard to get things done in Bloomington, IN.  It is hard to find an apartment.  It is hard to find a good doctor.  It is hard to find a mechanic.  My cars are old Volvo cars. It is more difficulty to find one.  It is not my fault. If I cannot find one, I cannot create one.  In the fall of 2025, I had some serious health issues.  My vision has become extremely poor. I even had a hard time to do some treatment. They just assume that I violated parking policies. They evicted me.  Since last fall, I spent all of my time searching for legal assistance and an apartment. All efforts were useless.  The court is very biased. Finally, they evicted me.  I do not know what to do.  My pity Volvo cars were towed.  At the last moment, the manager was still threatening to let me sleep on street.  With the help of relatives, I have a temporary place to stay.  Cambridge Square is for people with disabilities and elders to have a place to stay.  Government intended to assist those people with disabilities.  It is totally wrong to be extremely tough on those Federal protected individuals with disabilities.  Many tenants there hate the management there.  They try to organize associations to have their own rights.  I encourage the city to investigate the situation and to help those pity tenants.

Countless bags of trash and debris are left on parking lot at this location for an excess of a week now, we believe these are left here by the homeless crowd as they have been camping at this location previously. Obviously this church has no interest in dealing with this problem and sack of trash may contain hazardous material. Typically the hummus are leaving drugs and or needles, syringe, etc..

Mary Norman 411 West Howe Street Bloomington, IN 47403 To Whom: I am writing to ask if a streetlamp be installed between my property and the property next door. These properties are: 411 (mine) 413 (AirBB)… as this is the only way to our back doors and parking lot. There is a utility pole already set in the ground and wires attached. The south side of Howe Steet is where I live – there are 4 of us that have property here. • Odd Fellows (corner of Madison and Howe) they occupy that house once a month for a meeting. • My property – 411 West Howe – I am a fulltime resident and owner occupied. • 413 West Howe is an AirBB and is only occupied now and then. • Rehab house on the corner of Rogers and Howe – 4 units occupied off and on with only men It is very very dark on this street along with tree foliage that blocks out any light, On the corner of Madison and Howe is a streetlamp but it is dim and doesn’t cast a lot of light. As a single woman in elder years, I try to walk as much as I can but restricted at night due to the darkness surrounding this street. I installed a motion light on the roof of my house, but it only shines with movement. I am willing to pay or partial payment of installing a streetlamp between 411 and 413 west Howe street. There is a short street that separates these two houses and the only way to get to our parking lot and back door. Homeless people walk thru our backyard traveling to and from Shalom Center and the park up a block on Howe Street. Yesterday I saw a homeless person “peeing” between my neighbor’s trash and recycle bins. There is no respect for personal property in our back area. We butt up to the apartment building on Second Street. Countless times police are there with lights flashing. It really is NOT safe around here without proper lighting. Please set up a time for someone to visit this area during evening hours. It will surprise you that you cannot identify who is walking down Howe Street… AGAIN, I would be willing to fund the lamp as would the owners of the AirBB. We have discussed the security issue and pathway our back yard becomes. Thank you for taking the time to read my concern and solution. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I shall wait patiently for your reply. In regards Mary Norman 812.650.2823
