Background
CCBHC is a community-based 501(c)3 housing
organization and CHDO, founded in 1980 by a grassroots
movement of low- and very low-income families, living in
the barrio neighborhoods in Santa Ana. The founding
members believed that if they were organized and
committed, they could make their dream of creating
affordable housing a reality.
Today CCBHC enjoys a reputation as a well respected,
full service affordable housing organization which seeks
to address the County's lack of affordable housing by
developing attractive, well built affordable housing, and
by providing a variety of social services and structured
property management activities. Its needs are served by a
seven person Board of Directors consisting of Orange
County neighborhood residents and industry professionals,
and a dynamic staff well versed in affordable housing
technical information.
Development
Record
Over the past 25 years, CCBHC has engaged in
developing a variety of affordable housing rental
projects largely in Orange County, either by direct
ownership or by participating as part of a development
team. Typical project funding sources involve both the
public sector, such as local cities, as well as the
private sector, including traditional lending
institutions, and private funders/equity sources such as
Low Income Housing Fund, the Federal Home Loan Bank of
San Francisco, and low-income tax credits.
CCBHC has an active and successful track record in
providing outstanding compliance and monitoring reports
for projects financed with Redevelopment, HOME, and CDBG
funds, as well as tax credit projects.
CBHC also has an excellent record within local
communities for maintaining and managing affordable
rental projects for the benefit of residents, the
community, and project leaders. The organization has
successfully developed and implemented a number of youth
and service programs in connection with maintaining its
units and a highly visible presence in local
communities.
CCBHC has independently developed 1,265 affordable
housing units, and participated in a number of tax credit
rental projects, with CCBHC acting as the Managing
General Partner, and/or the Property Manager.
Each housing site is managed by an on-site Manager and
through a Tenant's Association, much like a traditional
homeowner's association. Tenant Associations meet at
least once a month to discuss concerns and to avail
themselves of services such as neighborhood watch,
education, nutrition & health, and community
participation.
