The City worked with for -profit <br />and nonprofit organizations to <br />rehabilitate and preserve over 500 <br />units of affordable housing at <br />Cornerstone Village. <br />Neighborhood projects to improve <br />the community. <br />PROGRAM EVALUATION <br />GOAL 1: HOUSING IMPROVEMENT <br />As an established, built -out city, Santa Ana faced significant housing challenges <br />during the 2000s. One such challenge continued to be the improvement of its <br />aging housing stock. The City had many single - family, multiple - family, and <br />mobile home units that required maintenance, rehabilitation, or replacement. <br />Many were built before the City instituted new design/development standards and <br />thus were too small, lacked desired amenities, and needed adequate parking. <br />Overcrowding and public safety concerns also contributed to poor conditions. <br />The 2006 -2014 Housing Element thus set forth the goal to improve housing <br />conditions through a menu of housing rehabilitation programs. This included <br />single - family homes, apartments, and mobile home units. Moreover, as part of <br />this effort, the City implemented programs to acquire, substantially rehabilitate, <br />and reconfigure multiple - family housing and require long -term affordability <br />covenants. The housing element set forth a goal to rehabilitate 210 units of <br />housing. <br />Table D -1 compares the 2006 -2014 Housing Element quantified objectives to <br />reported progress since adoption by the City Council. Sources used include the <br />federal Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER), HCD <br />Annual Progress Report, and NSP progress reports. In just three years, the City <br />has achieved all of its objectives for rehabilitation set forth in the housing element. <br />Covered later in this appendix but not summarized below, the City of Santa Ana <br />was also successful in rehabilitating 73 single - family homes and 77 apartment <br />units with federal funds under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. All of <br />these additional achievements included both acquisition and rehabilitation. <br />Table D -1 <br />Summary of Progress 2008 -2014 Quantified Objectives <br />Goals by Income Level <br />Rehabilitation Activity Total Very Low Low Mod <br />Housing Element Goal 210 190 21 0 <br />Accomplished to Date <br />Single - Family Home Rehabilitation <br />50 <br />50 <br />0 <br />Mobile Home Rehabilitation <br />6 <br />6 <br />0 <br />Multiple - Family Unit Rehabilitation <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />Multiple - Family Acquisition /Rehabilitation <br />155 <br />155 <br />0 <br />Total <br />1 211 <br />1 211 <br />0 <br />Source: City of Santa Ana, Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Reports, 2010/11- 2012/13. <br />The following are brief highlights of programs that aimed to rehabilitate housing, <br />ensure compliance with city codes, and preserve neighborhoods.
