B. On June 7, 2016, The City Council of the City of Santa Ana adopted a
resolution authorizing submittal of a funding application as a joint applicant with
Meta Housing Corporation for AHSC Program funds in an amount not to exceed
$12,028,626, of which $7,833,126 was requested as a loan with Meta Housing
Corporation for Affordable Housing Development, $1,288,000 was requested for
a grant to the City for a Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure Project for the
Santa Ana Arts Collective Project, and $22,500 was requested for a grant to
Meta Housing Corporation to support the Southern California Association of
Governments' Go Human program.
C. On November 21, 2016, the City and Meta Housing Corporation were
awarded $12,028,626 in AHSC funds, which included $1,288,000 in grant funds
to the City. The total award was reduced to $9,139,630 in accordance with
regulatory restrictions upon Meta Housing Corporation's acceptance of
competitive 9% low income housing tax credits. Additionally, Meta Housing
Corporation did not accept $2,885,000 in housing -related grant funds because
their programmatic requirements resulted in an increased funding gap rather than
in a reduction.

Program loan in an amount not to exceed $4,944,130 ("AHSC Loan") and an
