EXHIBIT 3 <br />THRIVE programs include land acquisition, community development, resident education and <br />community engagement around access to land and other public resources in Santa Ana. <br />On May 1st, 2018, THRIVE entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) with the <br />City of Santa Ana.

Health care access, employment for ages 25-64, and voting, are also <br />ranked very low compared to County levels, indicating disenfranchisement of these <br />communities, and lack of access to basic quality of life elements.
