community with no choice but to support AMCAL with the funding needed to fulfill <br />the First Street Apartment Projects. For now, we feel compelled to recommend that <br />you support funding the project. In the long run, we compel you to strengthen and <br />effectively uphold the Housing Opportunity Ordinance in order to avoid similar <br />predicaments. This ordinance was approved by Council and vetted by the <br />community and developers to ensure affordable housing development. <br />The City funding of $8.795 million ($2.6 million from The Heritage and $6.195 million <br />from the City) is needed to make the tax credit application competitive for an award, <br />similar to past projects funded by the City. Without the necessary funding from the <br />City of Santa Ana, First Street Apartments cannot go forward. <br />AMCAL's proposal will provide greatly needed, high quality housing that is needed at <br />this point in time and we ask for you to act now in support of this important <br />development. <br />Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nancy Mejia, MSW, MPH <br />Director, Community Engagement& Advocacy <br />
