The Orchard, the 72-unit complex near the city’s eastern edge debuted at a ribbon cutting on Thursday, Feb. 1, as the first permanent supportive-housing project in Santa Ana. Residents began moving in two years ago as renovations began, and the last arrived Wednesday night to lease the final unit.

The City of Santa Ana issued 25 project-based vouchers (PBV) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help subsidize rents. Out of the 25 PBVs, 15 are set aside for survivors of domestic violence, making this the only Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) community with set-aside vouchers for domestic violence survivors in Orange County. The housing community was made possible through collaboration and support from the City of Santa Ana, Orange County Housing Finance Trust, Supervisor Katrina Foley, local business leaders, and the Santa Ana residents and community. The project cost was a $28.6 million investment, which was financed through various stakeholders, including the City of Santa Ana ($3.8 million in capital financing, $1.5 million to provide onsite services and 25 project-based vouchers), the County of Orange ($1.5 million in capital financing from the American Rescue Plan Act), Orange County Housing Finance Trust ($2.5 million in Mental Health Services Act funding), Bank of America ($15.7 million construction loan and $20.1 million in tax credit equity), and Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ($705,000 as an Affordable Housing Program loan).
