=== Eli Home in Anaheim Hills, California ===
Eli Home, a nonprofit organisation founded in the 1980s which maintains [[Homeless shelter|homeless shelters]] for abused children, tried to expand to [[Anaheim Hills]] in 1994. The organisation was endorsed and praised by former United States presidents [[George W. Bush]] and [[Bill Clinton]],<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Martin |date=1994-04-25 |title=Anaheim: Clinton Joins Bush in Honoring Eli Home |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-04-25-me-50209-story.html |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> but Anaheim Hills community residents were strongly opposed to the decision, and tried to stop the development. The [[NIMBY|Not in My Back Yard]] attitude was the main reasoning for the opposition, suggesting that the shelter will increase crime rates and make neighborhoods less friendly.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Miller |first=Martin |date=1994-12-12 |title=Rod Carew Becomes Champion for the Abused |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-12-12-me-8068-story.html |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}}</ref> The development was nonetheless approved by the council and later led to an exodus of Anaheim Hills residents. Since then, Eli Home as an organisation claims to serve over 1,000 abused children and their families annually,<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Eli Home for Abused Children – Anaheim, Ca |url=https://elihome.org/ |access-date=2023-05-14 |language=en-US}}</ref> and also expanded services to drug rehabilitation, although the organisation had low donations in the decades since.<ref>{{Cite web |last=ABC7 |title=Eli Home in Anaheim Hills could shut down without donation |url=https://abc7.com/archive/8900233/ |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=ABC7 Los Angeles |language=en}}</ref>
