Results <br />14. Finding affordable homes in the City of Santa Ana has been a struggle. <br />Affordable homes are in run down, high crime neighborhoods. Any <br />decent home in a well -established neighborhood is hard to come by and <br />when found get taken quickly or leads to a bidding war. Rental properties <br />in a good community are rare to none. <br />15. Yes, the government funding is very restrictive. Please allow for more <br />flexibility and less reporting. Trust the organizations that you fund to be <br />good stewards of the money and base funding on overall outcomes. <br />16. "A dedicated liaison to keep the needs of persons needing county <br />services before the county would help. (The biggest gaps in services are <br />at the county level.). Housing for community college students. More <br />emphasis on science and technology education " <br />17. Low income housing is run down. Housing upgrades & safety are <br />important. <br />18. Free Tax Preparation Service <br />19. Yes. More Permanent Supportive Housing and affordable housing units <br />are needed. More mental health services and providers are needed. <br />20. Yes. The City often sits as a beacon on a hill. This survey and live <br />community events will hopefully help the City understand what is <br />happening at the ground level. Get out into the community and stay out <br />there whether or not you think it's working. People know you're there even <br />if they don't show. <br />21.

Yes <br />24. Not sure <br />25. YesH Not enough assistance for documented working families. <br />26. Yes, there is not enough crime prevention and not enough emergency <br />shelters and management of the homeless in our community. Additionally, <br />we have many empty lots needing development into businesses, but we <br />need more "mom and pop" small businesses to keep and improve the <br />character of our community rather than just big businesses and franchises. <br />27. We need more landlords that are willing to rent to Section 8 housing <br />recipients. Participants need more time than just one month to find these <br />tenants that are willing to take Section 8 renters. <br />28. Yes, I feel there is no fighting chance for younger people or lower <br />income/poverty stricken families. The rich stay rich and the poor get <br />poorer and any type of assistance program I've ever personally reached <br />out to even just seeking answers or references/information about anything <br />has always been impossible. Nobody ever wants to even hear the citizens <br />out and allows them to lose their homes and their jobs and their <br />transportation. <br />City of Santa Ana 46 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan <br />75A-224 Resident Survey Results <br />
