Page Two <br />MHET Rental Assistance is Available to ALL Qualified Santa Ana Mobile Home Owners <br />This program has been available for over 35 years to all Santa Ana mobile home owners who <br />meet the qualification guidelines. <br />MHET RAP is Only Offered in Non -Rent Controlled Jurisdictions <br />If Rent Control is Adopted the Program Will no Longer Exist <br />If rent control is imposed on Santa Ana mobile home parks the private subsidies being provided <br />to park tenants will no longer be available. Mobile home park owners want to help those truly in <br />need through this program. However, if forced to subsidize all residents, the majority of who <br />can well afford the rents being charged, the MHET RAP will not continue to be offered to those <br />truly in need. <br />And, Finally, Not Everyone Qualifies or Needs Subsidized Rents or Assistance <br />In an effort to distribute millions of dollars in COVID rent relief to Santa Ana renters who are <br />means tested to confirm true need, the City has discovered that perhaps the need that is being <br />portrayed by rent control activists does not exist. Why impose unreasonable rent restrictions on <br />housing providers that will only result in subsidizing those who do not need below market rental <br />housing and prevent rental property owners from being able to afford maintenance and <br />improvements to their properties that will dramatically impact their tenants' quality of life? It <br />does not make sense. <br />Please protect existing mobile home owner rent subsidy programs by voting NO on agenda item <br />33 and voting NO on rent control in the city of Santa Ana. <br />Thank you, <br />((UJJ <br />Vickie Talley <br />Executive Director <br />
