Bo 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />RE: 8513: Support - Just Cause Evictions Ordinance <br />Dear Mayor and City Council, <br />Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC) is committed to addressing health inequities and <br />improving opportunities for a healthy, thriving Santa Ana. SABHC understands that health is directly <br />shaped by the circumstances in which people are born, raised, live, and work. Improving these <br />circumstances is a collective responsibility and one that must be led by those directly impacted. <br />We seek to promote comprehensive solutions to the housing crisis including policies designed to keep <br />tenants housed and further prevent homelessness. This includes protecting tenants from unjust <br />evictions, from 2011- 2016 there were 2,201 evictions carried out by the Orange County Sheriffs <br />Department. We know that the number of evictions is much higher as many evictions go unreported. <br />The City has the ability to implement a Just Cause Evictions Ordinance and provide protections <br />from unjust evictions to its most vulnerable tenants. <br />This ordinance would only permit for tenants to be evicted for the following reasons: <br />1. Failure to Pay Rent <br />2. Breach of Lease <br />3. Nuisance <br />4. Illegal Purpose <br />5. Refusal to Execute New Lease <br />6. Failure to Give Access <br />7. Subtenant in Sole Possession <br />8. Owner Move -in <br />9. Necessary and Substantial Repairs Requiring Temporary Vacancy <br />10. Withdrawal of the Unit Permanently from Rental Market <br />11. Government Order <br />12. Vacating an Unpermitted Rental Unit <br />
