I <br />am submitting my public comment regarding the community's efforts to prioritize affordable housing <br />and open space in the City's surplus land. <br />As a resident of this community, I would like to encourage the City of Santa Ana to collaborate with <br />THRIVE Santa Ana and other community organizations to ensure community -led development that <br />meets the needs of Santa Ana residents —not real estate developers. This community suffers from a <br />lack of affordable housing for its residents and City Staff and Council have a responsibility to develop <br />in a manner that benefits the community. <br />I encourage you to consider working with THRIVE Santa Ana to ensure land is developed in a <br />responsible manner. <br />Thank you, <br />Elisabeth Le Guin <br />Professor.
