Gonzilez, and Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC) to conduct a neighborhood survey as part of its effort to develop the parcel of land on Walnut Street and Daisy Street in the City of Santa Ana. The survey helped THRIVE document the vision, aspirations, assets, health and social needs of the community and to supplement THRIVE's existing data to match the needs and best use for this plot of land. The survey reached across the surrounding neighborhood and surveyors collected information from residents 18 and older who live within close proximity of the empty plot of land on Daisy and Walnut Streets. Seventeen percent of dwellings completed a survey, yielding 120 sets of responses. The data was collected over a two -week period in March 2018, and later shared at the Community Art Festival at Walnut and Daisy on April 8th. Moving forward, data and planning processes have been shared at neighborhood meetings, providing residents multiple opportunities and formats to give feedback and guidance to the development process. Community engagement activities have provided the basis for THRIVE's development decisions including the definition of the Property's use as a community micro -farm. Moreover, THRIVE has successfully prepared a group of residents to lead the project ' -2" JLRU J moving forward, including the Outreach Presenting survey results and Art Workshop Committee, ensuring that the planning process with the City does not exclude local needs or talents. THRIVE sees this work as a great investment into Santa Ana's future, where we envision economic development that is inclusive and momentous, guided by a residents across several generations. This type of development is sustainable, as it does not contribute to neighborhood inequality, nor displacement. 10 �• •.
