CA 92701 <br />THRIVE Santa Ana <br />c/o Nancy Mejia, MPH, MSW <br />Director of Community Engagement and Advocacy Programs <br />Latino Health Access <br />450 W 4th St, Suite 130 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />qw <br />The Fair Housing Council of Orange County is writing this letter in support of THRIVE Santa <br />Ana, and of Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC), in their effort to establish a <br />community land trust (CLT) in Santa Ana. A CLT can be an important tool in work to foster <br />neighborhoods that are healthy, vibrant, and diverse. Further, we invite our non-profit <br />colleagues, developers, funders, other agencies, and the City of Santa Ana, to provide what <br />resources can be made available for this endeavor. We pledge the support of our own <br />organization to help facilitate development efforts on land acquired by this CLT. Together, we <br />can create sustainable development that benefits all Santa Ana residents. <br />As a federal entitlement jurisdiction the City of Santa Ana has an obligation to take meaningful <br />actions to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). We believe that supporting a CLT could be <br />such an action. Development through a CLT structure can help enhance affordable housing <br />1516 Broohhallow Drive, Suite A,SantaAnafA92705 <br />website: www.faithousingoc.org <br />
