<br />Yes, the proposed Project will provide benefits to a disadvantaged community,
<br />including expanding on renewable energy source, increasing electrical power
<br />reliability, enhancing public health and generating economic savings.

<br />applicable rrpplicable state criteria for determining disadvantaged status.
<br />According to the 2020 U.S. Census, the annual median household income for the
<br />state of California is $75,235, and the median household income (in 2019 dollars)
<br />between 2015-2019 was $66,145 for the City of Santa Ana, California. Since a
<br />disadvantaged community is defined as "a community with an annual median
<br />household income that is less than 100 percent of the statewide annual median
<br />household income for the state" by definition, Santa Ana is a disadvantaged
<br />community, and will benefit by the proposed Project. Please see below for a map of
<br />the City of Santa Ana and the Disadvantages Communities (DACs) and Severely
<br />Disadvantaged Communities (SDACs). DACs are defined by having MHI between
<br />$42,737 and $56,982 per year and SDACs are defined by having a MHI less than
<br />$42,737 per year.

<br />EO 13985 states, "...the term underserved communities refers to populations sharing
<br />a particular characteristic, as well as geographic communities, who have been
<br />systematically denied a full opportunity to participate in aspects of economic, social,
<br />and civic life...... In the context of the Federal workforce, this term includes individuals
<br />who belong to communities of color, such as Black and African American, Hispanic
