knowledge of the facts herein, and, if called as a witness, could testify competently
thereto.

3. I have observed at 910 Bank Street, Dallas, Texas 75223, located across the street from
Jubilee Park & Community Center, homeless individuals and persons who use the house
for opportunities to engage in the use of illegal drugs and activities. These activities have
included but not limited to prostitution, drug sales, and under age drinking.

4. I am additionally concerned about the children in our programs, which is located across
the street, who have open access and the unsafe condition of the building.

5. This dwelling also harbors stray dogs and cats and due the absentee owner these animals
are dangerous to our community.

6. The staff at Jubilee Park & Community Center are also concerned about their own
personal welfare due to the use of the dwelling specifically after hours.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
