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