EXHIBIT G 2. Relationships with Homebuyer Counseling Organizations ANR works closely with local non-profit organizations that provide counseling to first-time homebuyers to identify families that have completed training courses and are prepared to buy, but still need to identify a home to purchase. We have established relationships with Neighborhood Housing Services of Orange County (NHS-OC) as well as Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Orange County (CCCS-OC), and both organizations have been trained in the Santa Ana Neighborhood Stabilization Program, understand the benefits of the program for prospective homebuyers, and both agencies are currently referring prospective homebuyers to the program as an existing business practice at their homebuyer education classes and seminars. Both of these organizations have also been provided with flyers and website information for the current Santa Ana Homeownership Program (NSP1 and NSP2) we have been administering to date, and these flyers as well as website access are both available in their offices and distributed to interested parties. 3. Incentives and Down Payment Assistance Promotion The City of Santa Ana offers a down payment assistance program that provides zero percent interest loans up to ten percent (10%) of the sales price or $40,000. ANR and our selected listing agents have been successfully promoting the availability of this program and the City's American Dream Down Payment Initiative (ADDI) funds (only at the City's direction), and have been successful in facilitating sales to homebuyers seeking these alternative sources of financial assistance. We would propose to continue our efforts in promotion of the Down Payment Assistance Program, and would also continue to place program flyers in all available homes for sale, as well as continue promotion via individual listing agents educating their offices as well as other agents in the community they have relationships with. 4.

We also have included City down payment assistance flyers and eligibility requirements, and the website has become
