Guest House RFP# 15-129 1. COVER LETTER <br />  <br />  <br />2 | Page  <br />     <br />  <br /> <br />January 28, 2016 <br /> <br />Judson Brown <br />Housing Division Manager <br />Santa Ana Housing Authority <br />jbrown@santa-ana.org <br /> <br />Re: Request For Proposals No. 15-129 Permanent Supportive Housing <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Brown: <br /> <br />Community Development Partners (CDP) and Mercy House Living Centers (Mercy House) are <br />pleased to submit this response to the Request For Proposals for Permanent Supportive Housing <br />using Section 8 Project Based Vouchers from the City of Santa Ana Housing Authority. <br /> <br />With both company headquarters in Orange County, we are particularly excited for the opportunity <br />to provide a small piece of the permanent housing solution to those with the most critical housing <br />need. Santa Ana, in particular, has one of the largest homeless populations in the County, including <br />homeless Veterans. <br /> <br />CDP’s track record of creating and operating quality, affordable housing, Mercy House’s 25-year <br />tenure as a local leader in serving homeless populations, combined with a skilled property <br />management team, makes us extremely confident the proposed project will exceed the City’s <br />expectations for innovative, high quality, permanent supportive housing. <br /> <br />CDP is an experienced multifamily and mixed-use owner focused exclusively on creating and <br />preserving vibrant affordable housing communities with a focus on Southern California, where the <br />company is headquartered. Projects include housing for low income seniors, families, Veterans, and <br />homeless. The company’s principals have over 30 years of combined experience working with cities <br />and public agencies to bring new investment into existing neighborhoods. Mercy House is a Santa Ana <br />based non-profit service provider dedicated to serving populations with the most critical need such as <br />homeless, Veterans and disabled. Mercy House has been serving such populations for over 25 years <br />and remains on the forefront at the fight to end homelessness in Orange County. <br /> <br /> <br />3-10
