(a)(])). <br />Affordable Housing Fund Policies and Procedures - Eligible Uses and Activities <br />(Page 75B 92) <br />- The proposed amendment removes Cooperative Housing Programs as an <br />eligible use <br />Cooperative housing programs have been used to create and preserve affordable <br />housing throughout the country, reducing displacement among low- and moderate - <br />income residents by retaining affordability even in the midst of rapidly gentrifying <br />neighborhoods. Coupled with legislation allowing for the first right of refusal and <br />opportunity to purchase, residents can retain their housing and experience <br />supportive first-time home ownership. Public Advocates, Housing California and <br />the Coalition for Nonprofit Housing and Economic development are just a few of <br />the many advocates for place -based strategies that stabilize tenants and <br />communities through strategies like Cooperative Housing Programs. There should <br />be no reason to remove a use that can increase the supply of affordable housing in <br />Santa Ana and that aligns with the HOO. <br />We urge you to vote against the proposed amendments to the Housing Opportunity <br />Ordinance. The proposed amendments are inconsistent with the intent of the ordinance <br />and do not advance its goals. <br />Sincerely, <br />z <br />Recording Secretary <br />UNITE HERE Local 11 <br />MAIN OFFICE GARDEN GROVE OFFICE AIRPORT OFFICE <br />464 LUCAS AVE., SUITE 201 13252 GARDEN GROVE BLVD., SUITE 200 4634 W.
