"CPRA request to map out network of corruption related to Community Solutions, 100k Homes and 180/180"
2013-11-30 from John E. Colby to Ken Cole, Executive Director and Board Secretary, Housing Authority of the County of Santa Cruz
Dear Director Cole,
After consulting with the New York Attorney General's Charities Bureau I was advised to file a complaint against "Community Solutions" for being a fake charity. Last week I submitted a complaint while presenting my case that Community Solutions is a fake charity operating an illegal enterprise called the "100,000 Homes Campaign". The electronic written correspondence you provided me this week confirmed your Housing Authority has been participating in this campaign as their partner.
I have been inspecting information about Community's Solution's partners being providing so called training at their "Boot Camps". I intend to gain a complete understanding of Community Solutions and the nature of their relationship to the 100,000 Homes Campaign — I am mapping out a network of corruption.
To this end, I am submitting the following request pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA). I ask for:

* all electronic and non–electronic written communications — from January 1, 2012 to today, November 30, 2013 — between your board of directors, your officials, your staff, your volunteers, your representatives, your (sub)contractors, your consultants and your agents with the board of directors, officials, staff, volunteers, representatives, (sub)contractors, consultants and agents of the following.
