0 <br />COMMUNITY <br />ACTION <br />11870 Monarch Street PARTNERSHIP <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />Garden Grove,CA 92841 <br />In addition, the HOO should apply to all developments taking advantage of <br />City initiated land use and zoning changes, specific plans and general plan <br />updates and amendments. Land use changes may create higher land values, <br />profit, and incentives for market rate developers. At the same time many of <br />these market developments are not affordable to the majority of Santa Ana's <br />residents. In exchange for these development incentives, new affordable <br />housing for Santa Ana residents must be created. <br />The City must also ensure that the Inclusionary Housing Fund monies <br />prioritize the construction of affordable housing for extremely low-and very <br />low-income families.These are the families that have the most pressing needs <br />in the City of Santa Ana. In addition, the fund should also prioritize addressing <br />housing insecurity, eviction prevention, and housing legal assistance for <br />residents that would directly help current Santa Ana residents with the <br />exception of code enforcement. Diversion of these funds to other programs <br />unrelated to housing and direct help for families would not increase or <br />improve the supply of affordable housing. <br />We urge you to take into consideration the amendments and proposed <br />recommendations to the Housing Opportunity Ordinance. These <br />recommendations will help the city increase affordable housing options for <br />residents and help the city meet equitable housing production goals. <br />Sincerely,INA <br />Curtis Gibbs <br />Director of Planning <br />Mow
