(IHO) is writing this letter in support of THRIVE Santa Ana, <br />and of Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC), in their effort to establish a community <br />land trust (CLT) in Santa Ana, fostering neighborhoods that are healthy, vibrant, and diverse. We <br />also invite our colleagues, developers, funders, other agencies, and the City of Santa Ana, to provide <br />any available land and/or other resources for this endeavor. As an organization developing an <br />affordable community with the Irvine Community Land Trust, IHO wholeheartedly supports the <br />SABHC, and THRIVE Santa Ana effort to create sustainable development on land acquired by this <br />CLT in the City of Santa Ana. <br />We believe in the principals embodied in the Community Reinvestment Act, designed to encourage <br />commercial, financial, and institutions of all kinds to help meet the needs of borrowers in all <br />segments of their communities, including low -and -moderate income neighborhoods. Congress passed <br />this Act in 1977 to reduce discriminatory credit practices against low-income neighborhoods and <br />encourage sustainability and self-reliance in low-income communities. <br />It starts with HOUSING www.InnovativeHousing.com <br />19772 MacArthur Blvd., Suite 110 Irvine, CA 92612 P 949-863-9740 <br />
