According to our city's housing element 58% of Santa Ana renters pay more than 30% <br />of their income on rent. These conditions lead to a number of hardships for families, including <br />not being able to afford other necessities like food and health care. And while the city has taken <br />great strides in addressing the homelessness crisis, the need for more affordable housing remains. <br />The First Point project before the council tonight represents a real opportunity to improve <br />the quality of life for low income Santa Ana residents by providing more than 550 high -quality <br />homes for families. Jamboree has a reputation of quality, affordable housing with services that <br />helps transform lives and communities. <br />They are a trusted member of our community. From Cornerstone, an affordable family <br />apartment community in Santa Ana, to the much anticipated Santa Ana Veterans Village that <br />will serve over 75 homeless veterans in our community, Jamboree has a proven track record of <br />excellence. First Point will be no different. <br />As a representative of this community, and as a constituent of this council, I urge you to <br />approve this affordable housing project that our residents so desperately need. <br />Meeting Date: AUG 2 0 2018 <br />Name: CI0%1i10 G4e_4c, <br />Agenda Item: <br />SincerelvA <br />uis Correa <br />Member of Congress, 46Th District <br />01 <br />CORREA.HOUSE.GOV <br />®d. <br />
