<br />time many of these market developments are not affordable to the majority of Santa <br />Ana's residents. In exchange for these development incentives, new affordable housing <br />for Santa Ana residents needs to be <br />created. <br /> HOO- Inclusionary Housing Fund <br />The city needs to make new construction of affordable housing a priority when using the <br />housing fund to increase availability and housing options for Santa Ana residents. <br />Diversion of these funds to other programs would not be directly related to increasing and <br />improving the supply of affordable housing. Since its inception the HOO has been clear <br />in its language and purpose in that it states, “Monies deposited into the inclusionary <br />housing fund must be used to increase and improve the supply of housing affordable to <br />moderate, low, very low, and extremely low-income housings in the city…” (Sec. 41- <br />1909. (a)(1)). <br />We urge you to support the proposed changes to the Housing Opportunity Ordinance. The <br />proposed amendments will help the city increase affordable housing options for residents and <br />help the city meet equitable housing production goals. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Cesar Covarrubias <br />Executive Director <br />1 <br /> City of Santa Ana General Plan Housing Element 2014-2021, p. 14, January 2014. <br />2 <br /> City of Santa Ana General Plan Housing Element 2014 – 2021 page 11 <br />3 <br /> City of Santa Ana General Plan Housing Element 2014 – 2021 page 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
