Community Development <br />Measure X has been instrumental in enhancing the Community Development <br />Agency's (CDA) ability to deliver programs that improve residents' quality of <br />life. While CDA's services are not required by law to be provided, the programs <br />and activities of CDA are important for residents who need assistance with <br />housing services, employment services, business services, and to help with arts <br />and cultural enhancement within the community. These programs and activities <br />provide for the healthy development of the community. <br />Homeless Services Division <br />Carnegie Navigation Center - City Shelter <br />Measure X provides important funding ($75,000) for homeless services that <br />supplement the funding received from the Department of Housing and Community <br />Development from the State of California. These Measure X funds are used by CDA <br />to address one-time expenses at Carnegie or for other homeless services during <br />the year. <br />Staff Funding <br />Measure X is also utilized to support the salary of two (2) positions in the <br />Homeless Services Division, the full-time Homeless Services Manager position <br />(currently vacant), and the part-time Homeless Services Manager position. Both of <br />these positions are funded through Measure X revenue, and are important for <br />overseeing the grants received by the Department of Housing and Community <br />Development from the State of California - the Homeless Housing, Assistance and <br />Prevention Grant Program and the Permanent Local Housing Allocation Grant <br />Program. These Homeless Services Manager positions assist the City in monitoring <br />these funds that are utilized to contract with City Net for outreach and <br />engagement services with homeless encountered in the City; and to contract with <br />Illumination Health and Home to operate and provide for the daily needs of <br />residents at the Carnegie Navigation Center. In addition to overseeing these <br />services the part-time Homeless Services Manager provides significant <br />coordination with the Santa Ana Police Department Quality of Life Team, the <br />encampment contractor Landscape West and to connect unhoused individuals <br />with resources provided by the County of Orange, non -profits and community - <br />based organizations serving homeless residents. <br />Measure X Success 9 <br />
