Born in Baltimore Maryland but have lived in Orange County California since 1966. I graduated
from Valencia HS in Placentia and attended two years of college at Cal State Fullerton majoring
in Communications.
As a local union chapter president in Huntington Beach City School District 1992-2001 and later
as a Labor Relations Representative (LRR) for the California School Employees Association
(CSEA) 2001-2017, I learned and participated in Interest Based (collaborative) Bargaining,
Health and Welfare policy and advocacy, legal rights of public employees, the rights of special
needs students, and administrative law including a general knowledge of the rules of evidence. I
am well versed in the Educational Employment Relations Act (EERA) implemented via the
Public Employment Relations Board (PERS). Additionally, I became well versed with the Merit
System civil service rules as a Personnel Commissioner in Garden Grove Unified for 10 years
(2002-201 2) and as an employee advocate in Los Angeles Unified for 2 years (2015-2017). I
recently received (2017) my cer tificate of completion on Basic Mediation training from the OC
Human Relations Commission.
I completed the OC Superior Court Leadership Academy for 2017.
Gathering Facts
I learned the importance of gathering facts initially as a Classified Employee Union Steward in
school districts and. then as a Labor Rep for CSEA. I have experienced and participated in
Impasse and Fact Finding, Arbitration Hearings, Personnel Commission Hearings as well as
non-merit disciplinary hearings. Not exhausting the fact-gathering process will not lead to justice
or fair due process.
I also set the foundation for (grievance, arbitration) and observed a Superior Court hearing and
ultimately a successful Appellate Court hearing in 2004. (CSEA v. Tustin Unified). I served
successfully as a Superior Court Jury Foreperson in 2015 in a Civil case regarding a Trust law
issue.
Analyzing Data
Obviously I would need to be able to gather and analyze data in the above mentioned list. In
addition, I served on a Request for Proposal(RFP) Committee three times as the Chair of the
Youth Council for the Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board for over 4 years. I observed and
participated on several Health Benefits Committees in School Districts, including Huntington
Beach City School District, Irvine Unified School District, Laguna Beach Unified School District,
Tustin Unified School District, Los Angeles Unified School District. The gathering and
interpreting of data for healthcare business and bargaining is critical. I have lead bargaining in all of those school districts except LAUSD however, in LAUSD and GGUSD analyzing data for
reclassification of classified employees in their Merit System processes was a regular
occurrence. I have requested and analyzed various school district budgets including LAUSD in
2017.

Report Writing
I have written grievances and arbitration briefs as a union steward and labor rep. I have written
and filed several Unfair Labor Practices with PERB as recently as September 2016 (CSEA v
LAUSD Prima Facie established, case settled amicably)
Committee Work (volunteer/paid}
I have served and lead many classified employee negot iations committees (1994-2016)
I have served on a request for proposal committee for the Santa Ana Workforce Development
Board. (2014, 2017, 2019)
I have served on several Health Benefits Committees for school districts, including LAUSD
(2017) which oversees an annual $1.5 Billion H+W budget.
I have served on various political action committees including recent (2017) Healthy CA (single
payer healthcare advocacy)
I am active with my local chapter of the California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) which
advocates politically on Senior issues, including a new and improved (incl. dental and vision and
no OOP) Medi Care for All Bill in Congress
I am active with the OC LGBTQ+ Center committee, "Youth First OC" which currently advocates
for and is drafting a LGBTQ+ Student Bill of Rights in California.

Staff Report
August 15, 2023
TOPIC: CalOptima Health Street Medicine Program
AGENDA TITLE
Authorize staff to provide a Letter of Interest to CalOptima Health to have the City of
Santa Ana be considered as a future expansion City for its Street Medicine Program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize staff to provide a Letter of Interest to CalOptima Health to launch a Street
Medicine Program in the City of Santa Ana that will provide health and social care
developed specifically to address the complex needs and circumstances of unhoused,
unsheltered individuals in the City of Santa Ana.
DISCUSSION
On April 1, 2023, CalOptima, in partnership with the City of Garden Grove
and Healthcare in Action, launched Orange County’s first Street Medicine Program to
deliver comprehensive health and social care to individuals experiencing homelessness,
addressing the unique needs and circumstances of unsheltered individuals. The
successful approach of the CalOptima Health Street Medicine Program builds
necessary rapport and engages people experiencing homelessness “where they are”
and on their “own terms,” thereby reducing and/or eliminating barriers to care access
and follow-through services. In its first four months of operations, CalOptima Health’s
Street Medicine Program has served over 100 unhoused individuals, connecting 95% of
its enrollees to both a medical home and housing navigation services.
CalOptima Health is interested in launching a second Street Medicine Program in
another city in Orange County, replicating its existing program that uses walking teams
and medical vans to canvas and reach unhoused members living in parks, under
freeways, or other unsheltered spaces. Services include primary care, behavioral
health, and case management, inclusive of substance use referral services. The Street
Medicine Program would provide medical and social care to people who have not
sought or do not want to seek care in traditional settings.
The Street Medicine Program will complement and enhance Santa Ana’s outreach and
engagement services for people experiencing homelessness by not only providing
necessary medical and social services staff in the field to address the complex medical
and social needs of unhoused, unsheltered individuals in Santa Ana, but also to

minimize the unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms and improve efficiency in
Santa Ana’s outreach and engagement related to public intoxication for people
experiencing homelessness.
Next Steps
Following approval by the City Council, staff will provide a Letter of Interest to
CalOptima Health to launch a Street Medicine Program (Exhibit 1). The Street Medicine
Program may require approval of a future Memorandum of Understanding or Agreement
with CalOptima Health.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with this action.

Dear Ms. Kelly Bruno-Nelson,
On behalf of the City Council this letter of intent to express our interest in launching a
Street Medicine Program in the City of Santa Ana.
According to national estimates, the life expectancy of an unsheltered person is nearly 30
years less than that of the average Californian. As homelessness continues to rise across
the state, so too do deaths on the street. We understand that when an individual focuses
on their basic needs, managing their medical or mental health ailments go by the wayside.
In Orange County, a quarter of the deaths among the unhoused are a result from acute
or chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer or respiratory failure.
A Street Medicine program launched in Santa Ana will be able to deliver heath care to
some of the neediest individuals, and provide services “where they are,” thereby reducing
barriers to care access and follow-through. The Street Medicine Program will both
complement Santa Ana’s existing outreach and engagement programs.
This letter of intent precedes an agreement between the City and CalOptima Health (and
any other program documents) that will detail the terms for the Street Medicine Program.
Sincerely,
Mayor Valerie Amezcua

TOPIC: Modification to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and Budget for the
Emergency Solutions Grant Program
AGENDA TITLE
Approve a Modification to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and Budget for
the Emergency Solutions Grant Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve a modification to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and Budget
for the Emergency Solutions Grant Program.
2. Direct the City Attorney to finalize and authorize the City Manager to execute a
subrecipient agreement with Illumination Foundation, in the amount of $100,000, for
a term beginning August 15, 2023 – June 30, 2024, for rapid rehousing and
homeless prevention activities, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the
City Manager and City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On May 2, 2023, the City Council approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023-24 Annual Action
Plan and associated budgets for the Community Development Block Grant program,
HOME Investment Partnerships Grant, and Emergency Solutions Grant (Exhibit 1). In
addition, City Council also directed the City Attorney to finalize and authorized the City
Manager to execute agreements with various nonprofit organizations awarded funds as
part of the approved Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Program for a term beginning
July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.
As part of the FY 2023-24 Annual Action Plan and budget for the ESG Program, Mercy
House was awarded $100,000 in ESG funds to deliver rapid rehousing and homeless
prevention activities to the City’s homeless population. However, after the award of
funds by City Council, Mercy House declined the City’s ESG funds due to the matching
requirement mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The total award of $100,000 in ESG funds included $50,000 for rapid rehousing
activities and $50,000 for homeless prevention activities.
Rapid rehousing is an intervention, informed by a Housing First approach, that is a
critical part of a community’s homeless crisis response system. Rapid rehousing rapidly
connects families and individuals experiencing homelessness to permanent housing

through a tailored package of assistance that may include the use of time-limited
financial assistance and targeted supportive services. Rapid rehousing programs help
families and individuals living on the streets or in emergency shelters solve the practical
and immediate challenges to obtaining permanent housing while reducing the amount of
time they experience homelessness. Rapid rehousing also helps families and
individuals avoid a near-term return to homelessness and links them to community
resources that enable them to achieve housing stability in the long-term. Rapid
rehousing is an important component of the City’s response to homelessness. A
fundamental goal of rapid rehousing is to reduce the amount of time a person is
homeless.
Homeless prevention activities under the ESG Program involves eviction prevention and
may include:
•Financial Assistance: Providing short-term financial assistance to individuals and
families at risk of losing their current housing due to an eviction, foreclosure, or
utility shutoff. This assistance can help cover rental arrears, security deposits,
utility bills, or other housing-related costs.
•Mediation and Legal Services: Offering mediation services or legal assistance to
tenants facing eviction, with the aim of resolving disputes and preventing
homelessness.
•Rental Assistance: Providing ongoing rental subsidies to households that are at
risk of homelessness to ensure they can maintain stable housing. Rental
assistance may be time-limited or provided on a longer-term basis, depending on
the specific program design.
•Case Management: Offering case management services to help households
assess their needs, set goals, and develop a plan to achieve and maintain
housing stability.
•Housing Counseling: Providing housing counseling services to individuals and
families, including financial literacy education, budgeting assistance, and
landlord-tenant mediation.
•Credit Repair Services: Offering credit repair assistance to individuals and
families who may have credit issues that are hindering their ability to secure
housing.
•Utility Assistance: Providing financial assistance to help households pay utility
bills and prevent disconnection of essential services.
Following Mercy House’s decision to decline the City’s award of ESG funds, staff
recommends a reallocation of $100,000 in ESG funds to the Illumination Foundation as
the City’s emergency shelter provider. The $100,000 includes $75,000 for rapid
rehousing activities and $25,000 for homeless prevention activities (Exhibit 2 and 3).
Illumination Foundation has proven to be a leading nonprofit that serves our most
vulnerable individuals in the City of Santa Ana.
Relative to the procurement for these services, there are a very limited number of
homeless service providers that administer federal ESG funds in the City of Santa Ana.
Under the federal regulations and guidance, a non-competitive procurement may be

used only when the award of a contract is infeasible under small purchase procedures,
sealed bids, or competitive proposals and where the item is available only from a single
source. Under the City’s Purchasing Policies and procedures, competitive bidding may
be waived if a service is available from only a single/sole source and solicitation of bids
would be an idle act. A sole source is defined as a single supplier who provides a
service for which no acceptable substitute is available. Staff have determined that: 1)
the award of this contract is infeasible under competitive proposals for this FY 2023-24;
2) the solicitation of bids would be an idle act; and 3) the service is available only from
the Illumination Foundation as a single/sole source.
An Amendment to the Annual Action Plan is necessary when there are changes in the
proposed use of funds, reallocation of funds between different activities, or the addition
of new projects or initiatives that were not included in the original plan. This modification
to the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Annual Action Plan does not require an Amendment
because there is not a change to the use of the ESG funds; there is not a reallocation of
funds between different activities; and the planned use was included in the original
Annual Action Plan approved by City Council on May 2, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

The City has received an additional $360,000 in National Dislocated Worker Grant

received an initial award of $160,000 in Fiscal Year 2021-22, which has been fully
expended. These additional funds have been received by the City through a
modification of the PY 2023-24 subgrant agreement. (Exhibit 1)
The Department of Labor issued Training and Employment Guidance Letter 11-22,
dated March 17, 2023, which revised Program Year (PY) 2022-23 Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act (WIOA) second round Dislocated Worker formula funds. The
second round of Dislocated Worker PY 2022-23 formula funds have been adjusted for
the re-allocation, with Santa Ana receiving an additional $2,884. These funds have been
received by the City through a unilateral modification of the PY 2022-23 subgrant
agreement. Ten percent of these funds will be used for administrative costs and the
remaining amount will be used to provide dislocated workers with employment and
training services and assist them in obtaining full-time employment. (Exhibit 2).

AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with the State of California Workforce Development Board for the Prison to
Employment (P2E) 2.0 Grant
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an agreement with the State of
California Workforce Development Board for the Prison to Employment 2.0 Grant, for a
term from August 16, 2023 through December 31, 2025, in an amount not to exceed
$927,341.16, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and
City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
Since 2018, the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB), the State of
California’s agent for the oversight and continuous improvement of California’s
workforce development system, has engaged in a formal partnership with the California
Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and California Prison Industry
Authority (CalPIA) with the goal of improving labor market outcomes of the state’s
justice-involved and formerly incarcerated populations.
The CWDB is providing State general funds for the implementation of regional programs
to serve the formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals in California.
This funding is referred to as the Prison to Employment (P2E) 2.0 grant. The
Corrections-Workforce Partnership, which is a multi-agency effort, seeks to provide the
state’s 15 Regional Planning Units (RPUs) with resources that will enable them to better
serve this population by fostering partnerships between RPUs, CDCR reentry service
providers, CDCR Division of Adult Parole Operations, CDCR Division of Rehabilitative
Programs, county probation departments, employers, and community-based
organizations (CBOs). The Prison to Employment (P2E) 2.0 program is intended to
support regional efforts, and provide resources for direct employment and supportive
services to the formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals
P2E 2.0 funds were awarded to the Orange RPU. Serving 34 cities and multiple large
unincorporated areas in Orange County, the Orange RPU collaborates with partners to
build on the region’s strengths, address challenges, and expand opportunities for
community members and businesses that fuel economic vitality. The Orange RPU

leads the region’s vision for a future-ready workforce that is better skilled, trained, and
prepared to keep industries competitive, communities thriving, and the economy
growing. The Orange RPU is composed of the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, and
the City of Santa Ana Workforce Development Boards (WDBs). As it pertains to this
grant, the City of Santa Ana will be the fiscal agent.
In April, the City received notice that the Orange RPU was awarded a total of
$927,341.16. The P2E grant requires a partnership with community-based
organizations (CBOs) that serve the formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved
individuals, and reentry service providers. Memorandums of Understanding are
encouraged with the CDCR’s Division of Adult Parole Operations, County Probation,
and other reentry providers. Staff is preparing to procure workforce services to
implement the strategies authorized in the grant and will bring agreements back to the
City Council for approval in the near future.
The Prison to Employment grant intends to serve a minimum of 84 individuals who were
formerly incarcerated or under County Probation or State Parole supervision.
Depending on the outcome of a workforce strategies assessment, individuals will be
served through on the job training, or vocational training that leads to industry
recognized certificates, or direct placement by using a wraparound case management
coordinated with CBOs and the region’s three Workforce Development Boards.
Coordination of referrals will take place at pre-release at county jails and post release
through deployment of staff at probation and parole offices located throughout the
county.
