Coalition <br />of Oran@n County Can ffiunity H#okh Contar® <br />for housing. Of this total, 57 percent were renters (21,496 households)... Housing overpayment is most severe <br />among extremely low and low income households and special needs groups.' (pg. A-20) <br />It is important to protect Santa Ana residents from the traumatic effects that displacement has on our <br />communities. Policies such as Just Cause Evictions have been successfully implemented in jurisdictions <br />throughout California while protecting the rights of tenants and property owners. We encourage the City to <br />deepen its commitment to working alongside the community in the development process, to ensure that the <br />community's needs are being met and that tenants are being protected. Policies that include Just Cause <br />Evictions, Rent Control, and Rent Stabilization represent a key opportunity to do this. <br />Santa Ana has the opportunity to lead the way and set a high standard for tenant protections in Orange <br />County. The Coalition strongly encourages the City of Santa Ana to establish a workgroup that includes <br />community stakeholders such as: affected residents, non -profits organizations, and community groups that <br />will create a Tenant Protections Ordinance. <br />Sincerely, <br />1 ✓il'',Ur ° m <br />Isabel Becerra, Chief Executive Officer <br />(714) 352-5990, x224 I ibecerra@coalitionoc.org <br />
