Main Street in Santa Ana, CA. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On November 3, 2015, the City Council awarded Meta Housing Corporation (Developer) a pre - <br />loan commitment of Inclusionary Housing Funds, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br />and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds, not to exceed $4,635,000, for an <br />affordable housing project called the Santa Ana Arts Collective (Project) located at 1666 N. Main <br />Street (Exhibit 1). On February 3, 2016, the loan agreement for the CDBG and Inclusionary <br />Housing Funds was approved by the City Council. The Project will be an affordable housing <br />project with a preference for applicants who are artists and working artist families within Santa <br />Ana with a process that would meet Fair Housing and funding requirements. The Project will <br />provide 57 affordable units, as well as a community art gallery, an art garden on the ground floor, <br />a maker space, digital and media lab, music room, performing arts room, and activity programs. <br />The project will be one of the first projects under the City's new adaptive reuse ordinance and <br />the first affordable housing complex with an artist preference. <br />Based on California law, when state or local funds are provided to a project which would lead to <br />the displacement of people from their homes and /or businesses, the legislative body must <br />approve a relocation plan. The draft Santa Ana Arts Collecitve Project Relocation Plan (Exhibit <br />1) has been prepared in conformance with applicable provisions of California Relocation <br />Assistance Law and Relocation Guidelines as well as United States Department of Housing and <br />Urban Development (HUD) regulations. All current Project occupants will need to be <br />permanently relocated. The needs and characteristics of the displaced population, available <br />relocation resources, and the Meta Housing Corporation's (Developer) program to provide <br />assistance to each affected person are general subjects of the Relocation Plan. The Developer <br />is utilizing LACAL Consulting, Inc. as their relocation consultant for the relocation plan and <br />55A -1 <br />
