In a city with a housing crisis, community members demand

City Council invest in community, not jails

Santa Ana, CA – This Tuesday the Santa Ana City Council will hold a Work Study Session on Rent Control/Stabilization to learn about potential policies designed to protect tenants in the city. In February the Council will also receive the conclusions of a re-use study for the Santa Ana City Jail, which is currently costs the city upwards of $20 million to maintain and operate.

As a community, we will hold a press conference to demand investments that uplift and protect the community. This includes a Tenant Protections Ordinance with policies such as Just Cause Evictions, Rent Control and Rent Stabilization; and the closing of the Santa Ana City Jail which costs the city up to $20 million a year to maintain.
