The recent Dana Point Times had a letter to the editor regarding the influx of group homes in the Capistrano Beach area. Since this article was printed, it has been confirmed that there are 17 group homes and 5 more suspect to be group homes.

Based on national statistics Capistrano Beach should have about 3 group homes. We have almost 6 times more than what is justified by "local need".

If this change in your community is of concern to you, please spread the word, and make your voice be heard by signing this petition and appearing at the Dana Point City Council meeting on Tuesday, November 18th at 6:00 PM.

Below is a link to the article in the Dana Point Times.

"We, the undersigned citizens of Dana Point wish to petition the City Council to create appropriate ordinances to require all group homes to register with the City, and to limit the number of homes to ensure they do not exceed local need."
