During the 1990s, although Santa Ana's senior population increased by approximately 13 percent, seniors ages 75 years and older increased by 30 percent. Since the majority of seniors live on fixed incomes, overpaying for housing is a major concern.

The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted or is not reasonable. The City's update of its Housing Element is near complete and based on the timeline to submit a version to the State for comments, there is no time available in which to develop the requested information. Further, it is believed that other regional organizations are better able to develop a comprehensive review of current and projected inventories. Conducting such an inventory through the Housing Element process by 34 individual cities will lead to various presentations of the information and possible ...

The City believes this data is best contained in a document compiled by a regional agency and distributed accordingly.
