Tl T C f`TTC C T!'1T~T The City of Santa Ana has recently formed an interagency task force comprised of the Police Department, Public Works, Planning and Building and the Community Development Agency for the purpose of addressing the multiple quality of life issues that exist in the Townsend-Raitt area. This area is bounded by Raitt Street on the east, McFadden Avenue on the south, an alley on the west, and Monta Vista Street on the north. In a survey conducted by the task force, two of the major issues identified by tenants as impacting the quality of their lives are the dilapidated housing and the high cost of rents. Census updates indicate that in 2006 the median household income in this area was $33,304, while it was $54,000 for the City as a whole and $78,300 for Orange County. Townsend & Raitt, LLC is comprised of Orange Housing Development Corporation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) (OHDC), and C & C Development Co., LLC. They are currently in escrow to purchase and rehabilitate two 10 unit and one 11 unit apartment buildings in this area. These units are located at 817 and 821 S. Townsend Street and 834 S. Raitt Street (Exhibit 1) Both OHDC and C & C Development have many years of successful experience owning and operating apartment buildings in other areas facing similar challenges. In Santa Ana they own and operate twenty buildings in the Cornerstone Village project area and recently acquired seventeen buildings in the Wilshire-Minnie area. Part of their success stems from their practice of hands-on management with an emphasis on fair and consistent enforcement of lease agreement conditions. Thirty of the thirty-one total units will be restricted to occupancy by fifty percent (very low-income) of the Area Median Income (AMI). One unit will be reserved for the manager. Rents for one-bedroom units will be $781 and $935 for two-bedroom units. Current residents whose incomes exceed eighty percent of the AMI will be allowed to remain. Rents for these households will be increased to either thirty percent of their monthly household income or market rent for the neighborhood, whichever is lower. 80B-3 Loan Agreements with Townsend & Raitt, LLC and Authorization of Relocation Plan 817 and 821 S. Townsend Street and 834 S. Raitt Street January 7, 2008 Page 4 The total cost to acquire and rehabilitate the five buildings is $6,754,657. In addition to the City and Agency loans, funding sources include below market rate community investment loans in a total amount of $1,255,311 from Washington Mutual Bank. Exhibit 2 includes a summary of the sources and uses. Other funding sources were evaluated by CSG Advisors, the Agency's financial advisor, to determine if the City and Agency resources could be further leveraged. These sources included tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) The difference between the interest rates available through tax exempt bonds and the Washington Mutual loan offered through its Community Lending Division was negligible due to the nominal amount of supportable first trust deed and the high cost of issuance of tax exempt bonds. In regard to the LIHTCs, there would be an exit tax liability of approximately $1 million to the tax credit partners. This liability occurs because the financial benefit received by the tax credit partners exceeds the initial investment. As a result of the very low-income rents, it is not possible for the project to generate the income necessary to meet this additional obligation. When a Redevelopment Agency enters into an agreement for the acquisition or disposition and development of property, which agreement would lead to the displacement of people from their homes, the legislative body must adopt, by resolution, a relocation plan. The draft Relocation Plan for 817 S. Townsend, 821 S. Townsend and 834 S. Raitt (Exhibit 3) have been prepared in conformance with applicable provisions of California Relocation Assistance Law and Relocation Guidelines as well as United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines. These plans are required due to the potential for temporary relocation of households. The draft plan for 817 S. Townsend, 821 S. Townsend and 834 S. Raitt does not foresee a need for any permanent relocation of households, and estimates the cost of temporary relocation at $45,000. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, the proposed project is exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption No. ER 2007-201 will be filed for this project. 80B-4 Loan Agreements with Townsend & Raitt, LLC and Authorization of Relocation Plan 817 and 821 S. Townsend Street and 834 S.

Townsend Street and 834 S. Raiff Street Project (the "Project") in Santa Ana, CA. The Project requires the acquisition of three parcels on which there are two 10-unit buildings and one 11-unit building totaling 31 apartment units. The Developer plans to fully rehabilitate the units, including interior and exterior improvements. The units will then be converted to affordable housing units comprised of 21 one-bedroom units and 10 two-bedroom units. These units will be offered to tenants who are 50% or below area median income. Any existing tenants who are 80% or below area median income will be "grandfathered" and considered eligible to remain within the Project. In addition, any households who qualify in the Moderate Income category (between 81%-120% of area median income), will also be allowed to remain within the Project under certain return rental conditions to be discussed in Section III-D. Those current households, who are considered "over-crowded" (needing more than two bedrooms based on a 2+2 occupancy standard), will also be grandfathered and will qualify to remain within the Project in one of the rehabilitated units. New tenants will be held to a 2+2 occupancy standard (two people per bedroom and two people in an additional room such as a living room or den). As of this date, the Project will cause no permanent displacement of residential households. The needs and characteristics of the displacee population and the Developer program to provide assistance to each affected person are general subjects of this Relocation Plan (Plan). The Developer anticipates funding for the Project will be provided by tax increment and HOME funds. This Plan conforms to the requirements of the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (URA), as amended, the implementing regulations of Handbook 1378 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the California Relocation Assistance Law, Government Code Section 7260, et seq. (Law), the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development and Title 25, California Code of Regulations Section 6000, et seq. (Guidelines). This Plan is organized into four sections: 1. Project description (SECTION I); 2. Assessment of the project occupants and their needs (SECTION II) 3. Description of the Developer's temporary relocation program (SECTION III); 4. Description of the Developer's outreach efforts, project timeline and budget (SECTION Imo. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 80B-10 B. PROJECT SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION The Project site is on S. Townsend Street and S. Raiff Street generally bordered by W. McFadden Avenue to the south, S. Center Street to the west, W. Monta Vista Avenue to the north and the east side of S. Raiff Street to the east. (See Figure 2: Project Site Location) The Project site includes three properties consisting of approximately 36,590 sq. ft. and is comprised of two 10-unit apartment buildings and one 11-unit apartment building totaling 21 one-bedroom units and 10 two-bedroom units. As of the date of this Plan, all units were occupied.

General Housing Characteristics: 2000 4 80B-13 II. ASSESSMENT OF RELOCATION NEEDS A. SURVEY METHOD To obtain information necessary for the preparation of this Plan, personal interviews with the residents were conducted by Developer staff in November 2007. The Developer was successful in obtaining survey responses from 30 occupied households in the Project. One household did not complete the certification process since they had already given their notice to vacate to the current property owner. Inquiries made of the residential occupants concerned household size and composition, income, monthly rent, length of occupancy, ethnicity, home language, physical disabilities, and replacement housing preferences. A sample of the residential interview form used in the interview process is presented as Exhibit A of this report. B. RESULTS Based on the data collected during the interview and certification process, and as of the date of this Plan, again, there are no households who will be permanently displaced. All but two Project households qualified at below 80% area median income (AMI), and the two households qualifying below 120% of AMI will qualify to stay at the rental rate described in Section III-D. The household, who voluntarily gave their notice to vacate, had received a General Information Notice/Notice of Non-Displacement advising them that they were not being asked to permanently vacate nor were they eligible for permanent relocation benefits. The notice also informed them that if they permanently vacated by their own choice, they would not be eligible for any relocation assistance. Samples of the General Information Notice/Notice of Non- Displacement, both English and Spanish versions, are presented in Exhibit B of this report. 80B-14 III. THE TEMPORARY RELOCATION PROGRAM The Developer's Temporary Relocation Program is designed to minimize hardship, be responsive to unique project circumstances, emphasize maintaining personal contact with all affected individuals, consistently apply all regulatory criteria to formulate eligibility and benefit determinations and conform to all applicable requirements. The relocation program consists of two principal constituents: advisory assistance and financial assistance (Relocation Benefits). A. ADVISORY ASSISTANCE Individuals who will need to move from existing homes temporarily will receive advisory assistance. Advisory assistance services are intended to inform displacees about the rehabilitation process and the relocation program as well as facilitate any claims processing: To follow through on the advisory assistance component of the relocation program and assure that the Developer meets its obligations under the law, Developer staff will perform the following functions: Distribute appropriate written information concerning the Developer's relocation program; Inform eligible project occupants of the nature of, and procedures for, obtaining available relocation assistance and benefits. Inform all persons subject to temporary displacement of the Developer's policies with regard to eviction and property management. B. TEMPORARY RELOCATION BENEFITS All residential occupants to be temporarily relocated will be eligible to receive a fixed payment for moving and related expenses. Each one-bedroom household will receive two fixed payments of $625 each for both the move into a temporary unit on-site as well as the move back into a rehabilitated unit. Each two-bedroom household will receive $800 for each move. The tenants will only be responsible for the utilities in the unit in which they are residing during any phase of the project. Utility or phone transfer fees are included in the fixed moving payment. There is no anticipated need for rental assistance payments, because the tenants will be housed on the Project site during the temporary move phase. They will pay the same rental rates for their temporary units as they are paying in their current units. 6 80B-15 C. PERMANENT RELOCATION BENEFITS If a temporary relocation lasts more than one year, the tenants will be offered permanent relocation assistance as a displaced person under the Uniform Act. This assistance would be in addition to any assistance already received in conjunction with the temporary relocation and will not be reduced by the amount of any temporary relocation assistance previously provided. Although all the tenant households currently income-qualify to remain in one of the Project units, if at the time the rehabilitation is completed, and if a household's income has increased and caused them to be over-income, they would no longer be eligible to remain in a Project unit. Permanent relocates may be eligible for permanent relocation benefits. These benefits include: advisory services, referrals to comparable replacement dwellings, financial assistance to purchase or rent a replacement dwelling and financial assistance to physically move their personal property and belongings. D. POST-REHABILITATION RENTS For a temporarily displaced tenant, once the rehabilitation has been completed on their current unit, they may return to their present unit or another suitable unit in the same building/complex at a 50% AMI rental rate (within the exception of the Moderate Income households). Based on the tenants' current rental rates, this will be a reduction in their rents. For those households that qualify at the Moderate Income level, upon the completion of the rehabilitation and return to the Project unit, their rent will remain the same as their current rent for one year. However, after one year, the rents for these households will be adjusted to the lesser of their current rent and utilities or 30% of their adjusted, gross, monthly household income. E. PROGRAM ASSURANCES AND STANDARDS Adequate funds are available to relocate the temporarily displaced households. Specifically, tax increment funds will be used by the Developer to pay relocation benefits. Relocation assistance services will be provided to ensure that displacement does not result in different or separate treatment of households based on race, nationality, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, familial status, disability or any other basis protected by the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, the California Fair Employment & Housing Act, and the Unruh Act, as well as any other arbitrary or unlawful discrimination. 7 80B-16 IV. ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS A. NOTICES Each notice, which the Developer is required to provide to a Project occupant, shall be personally delivered or sent certified or registered first-class mail, return receipt requested and documented in the case file. Each notice will be written in plain, understandable language. Each notice will indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions and other needed help. There are two principal notices: I) the General Information Notice/Notice ofNon-Displacement Notice 2) the Vacate Notice The General Information Notice/Notice of Non-Displacement is intended to provide the tenants with a general written description of the Developer's relocation program and basic information regarding conditions of eligibility. This notice advises the tenants of their qualification to remain in a Project unit and states that they will not be permanently displaced. The Vacate Notice will be issued within a reasonable period of time prior to the tenants' temporary displacement. Tenants will receive a 60-day notice to vacate during the temporary move phase. B. EVICTION POLICY The Developer recognizes that eviction is permissible only as a last resort and that relocation records must be documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding any eviction. I. Eviction will cause the forfeiture of a displacee's right to relocation assistance or benefits. Relocation records will be documented to reflect the specific circumstances surrounding any eviction action. 2. Eviction may be undertaken for one, or more of the following reasons: (a) Failure to pay rent, except in those cases where the failure to pay is due to the owner's failure to keep the premises in habitable condition; is the result of harassment or retaliatory action; or, is the result of discontinuation, or a substantial interruption of services; (b) Performance of a dangerous, and/or illegal act in the unit; (c) A material breach of the rental agreement, and failure upon notification to correct said breach within 30 days of Notice; 8 80B-17 (d) Maintenance of a nuisance, and failure to abate such nuisance upon notification within a reasonable time following Notice; (e) Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement dwellings; and/or, (f) A requirement under State, or local law or emergency circumstances that cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the part of the Developer. C. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION As the process for considering the Project moves forward, the Developer will observe the following protocol: Provide affected tenants with full and timely access to documents relevant to the relocation program; 2. Encourage meaningful participation in reviewing the Relocation Plan and monitoring the relocation assistance program; including the project area occupants; 3. Provide technical assistance necessary to interpret elements of the Relocation Plan and other pertinent materials; 4. Issuance of a general notice concerning the availability of the Plan for public review, as required, 30 days prior to its proposed adoption; and 5. The inclusion of written or oral comments concerning the Plan as an attachment (Exhibit C) when it is forwarded to the Santa Ana City Council for adoption. D. IMMIGRATION STATUS Federal legislation (PL105-117) prohibits the payment of relocation assistance benefits under the Uniform Act to any alien not lawfully present in the United States unless such ineligibility would result in an exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to the alien's spouse, parent, or child any of whom is a citizen or an alien admitted for permanent residence. Exceptional and extremely unusual hardship is defined as significant and demonstrable adverse impact on the health or safety, continued existence of the family unit, and any other impact determined by the Developer to negatively affect the alien's spouse, parent or child. The Developer will authorize the payment of relocation assistance benefits to any alien not lawfully present in the United States from non-federally authorized reimbursable funds. In order to track and account for relocation assistance and benefit payments, relocation staff will be required to seek immigration status information from each displacee 18 years by having them self-certify as to their legal status. 9 80B-18 E. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES A person who is dissatisfied with a determination as to eligibility for benefits, a payment amount, the failure to provide comparable temporary housing, or the Developer's property management practices may file a Relocation Assistance Appeal Form or any other written form of appeal with the Developer. The Developer's appeal policies will follow the standards described in Article 5, Section 6150 et seq., Title 25, Chapter 6, State of California, Department of Housing and Community Development Program guidelines. F. PROJECTED DATE OF DISPLACEMENT The Developer anticipates that date specific Notices to Temporarily Vacate will not be issued prior to May 2008. G. ESTIMATED RELOCATION COSTS The total budget estimate for relocation-related payments for this Project is $45,000. The Estimated relocation budget does not include any payments related to property acquisition. If the Project is to be implemented, and circumstances arise that should change either the number of residential occupants, or the nature of their activity, the Developer will authorize any additional compensable funds that may need to be appropriated. The Developer pledges to appropriate, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to ensure the successful completion of the Project. 10 80B-19 EXHIBIT A RESIDENTIAL INTERVIEW FORM 80B-20 RESIDENTIAL INTERVIEW FORM CASE ID: - PROJECT: AGE\CY: CONStiLTANT: OCCUPANT fNFOR1iATION: DWELLING: 11<~JOR EVE\TS: Claimant(s): Monthly Payment: $ Site Movc•In: / / First Offer: / / Number of Bedrooms: Address: Initial Interview: ! / Total Number of Rooms: U'11L1TIES PAID BY: Home Phone: (_~ Bedrooms Needed: Gas: ^ Tenant ^ Owner Work Phone: (_) ^ Funtished Dwelling Electric: ^ Tenant ^ O++•tter Social Sec. #: Water: ^ Tenant ^ Owner OCCUPA\CY STATtiS: D Rent ^ Lease ^ Mortgage ^ O+vn (Clear) ^ Vacant ^ No Contact DIVELLL\G TYPE: ^ Single Family Residence ^ Duplex ^ Apartment ^ CondolTownhouse D Hotcl/Motel ^ Mobile Home ETHNICITY: ^ White ^ Hispanic ^ Black ^ Asian ^ Other: PRIMARY LANGUAGE: ^ English ^ Spanish ^ Other.

Townsend, Santa Ana, CA for a proposed project which may receive funding assistance from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ~~)• The purpose of this notice is to u~forni you that you will not be displaced in connection with the proposed project. If the project application is approved and federal financial assistance provided, you may be required to move temporarily so that the rehabilitation can be completed. If you must move temporarily, suitable housing will be made available to you and you will be reimbursed for all reasonable out of pocket expenses, including moving costs and any increase in housing costs. You will need to continue to pay your rent and comply with all other lease terms and conditions. Upon completion of the rehabilitation, you will be able to lease and occupy your present apaitinent or another suitable, decent, safe and sanitary apartment in the same building/complex under reasonable terms and conditions. If federal financial assistance is provided for the proposed project, you will be protected by a federal law known as the Uiuform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act (URA), One of the URA protections for persons temporarily relocated is that such relocations shall not extend beyond one year. If the temporary relocation lasts more than one year, you will be contacted and offered all permanent relocation assistance as a displaced person under the URA. This assistance would be in addition to any assistance you may receive in connection with temporary relocation and will not be reduced by the amotuit of any temporary relocation assistance previously provided. You will also have the right to appeal the agency's determination, if you feel that your application for assistance was not properly considered.
