Mayor Pulido and City Councilmembers <br />November 17, 2020 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />$2000 - $4000, none of these above -market rent units are affordable to most of Santa Ana's <br />working families. <br />It is also of great concern that the city intends to invest $13 million into this development for land <br />preparation during a pandemic. As a City with residents that have been heavily impacted by <br />COVID-19, the city's priorities for any public spending should be on addressing the current effects <br />of the pandemic; and for long term economic recovery that will directly benefit the city's residents, <br />such new affordable housing. This project does not address either. <br />We urge the City to reconsider the development of this project and opt for building much <br />needed affordable housing in order to prioritize current residents. <br />The Commission looks forward to partnering with the City to increase housing opportunities for <br />lower -income residents in the City. Please keep us informed of any updates and meetings regarding <br />strategies to increase affordable homes for lower -income households in the City. If you have any <br />questions, please feel free to contact me at (949) 250-0909 or cesarc@kennedycommission.org. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cesar Covarrubias <br />Executive Director <br />
