Wellness District and Latino Downtown
<br />We, the undersigned, believe in equitable development that meets the needs of underserved communities
<br />and individuals through projects, programs, and policies that are inclusive in their planning and
<br />implementation, and that reduce disparities while fostering places that are healthy, vibrant, and diverse.
<br />We believe in the right of these communities to remain and thrive in Santa Ana and be safe from the
<br />unintended consequences of development that raise property values making the cost of living unaffordable,
<br />or that change the surrounding environment to where they no longer belong.
<br />We believe in the need to reclaim our streets for safe, accessible, active transportation, including walking
<br />and biking, and that Complete Streets infrastructure will not displace Latino cultural businesses or Latino
<br />residents. We believe in the right of underserved communities to have access to healthy local food, and
<br />food production.
<br />We believe in the need for a partnership amongst local business, community organizations and residents,
<br />where we create a culturally relevant, community serving, accessible and affordable downtown that does
<br />not displace but is inclusive of its Latino identity and people.
<br />We, support the recent findings of the Wellness District Market Study report, conducted by The Next
<br />Practice, that describes a Latino Revival Scenario market strategy for the downtown, stating that the
<br />greatest demand in the downtown is for wellness goods and services and that the largest purchasing power
<br />is in the Latino resident of the surrounding central Santa Ana neighborhoods.
<br />We support the proposed Wellness District Resolution and believe the following:
<br />• A Wellness District in the downtown will uplift Santa Ana as a destination for food, health,
<br />culture, and a family experience
<br />• Affordable, culturally relevant events and community friendly locations will bring Santa Ana
<br />residents, commuters and visitors downtown
<br />• "Calle Cuatro" memorializes and affirms Latino history and present
<br />Community - run microfarms will replace vacant lots to provide affordable, local, healthy food for
<br />residents and restaurants
<br />• Economic development downtown and citywide will include everyone
