AGENDA TITLE:
Public Hearing - Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize Submission of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report to
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
DISCUSSION
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive planning and application document
that covers the three entitlement grants that the City receives annually from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Consolidated Plan outlines
a strategy for using the three grants and other resources to meet community needs as
they were identified in the Plan. These three entitlement grants are the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME
Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). The Consolidated Plan also identifies five-
year numeric goals for meeting the identified community needs that Santa Ana will work
toward during the period covered.
As part of the Consolidated Plan process, HUD requires the City to submit a Consolidated
Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) (Exhibit 1). The CAPER describes
the activities and accomplishments for the three federal entitlement grants during the past
fiscal year. It also reports on the City’s success in achieving the five-year numeric goals
and objectives that are established in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. Fiscal Year 2020-
2021 is the first year covered by July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 Consolidated Five-
Year Plan.
The following table highlights accomplishments achieved during Fiscal Year 2020-2021
with funding from the CDBG, ESG and HOME Program:

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
In planning and implementing all HUD funded activities, The City regularly works to identify and leverage
other funding streams to maximize the impact of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG activities. Cities receiving
HOME Program funds are generally required to provide a HOME match of 25% of their annual
allocation. The City of Santa Ana has qualified for a HOME match reduction of 100%, therefore not
requiring the City to provide any match as part of the HOME Program. The ESG program requires a
dollar-for-dollar match requirement. The City of Santa Ana requires its ESG subrecipients to meet the
match requirement. This is done through a mix of cash and in-kind match as allowed under 24 CFR Part
576. In accordance with State law and local priority, the City consistently looks to leverage state and
locally owned property to achieve its annual goals.

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Santa Ana prioritizes effective, targeted, and safe outreach to individuals experiencing homelessness to
support these individuals in identifying resources and establishing pathways to safe and sustainable
housing. The City has outreach staff regularly working and interfacing with individuals experiencing
homelessness to provide assistance and support in enrolling in shelter and/ or seeking other services.
During the 2020-2021 Program Year, the City of Santa Ana worked towards the following objectives:
1. Prioritized street outreach through Quality of Life Teams
2. Preserved existing and increase the supply of permanent supportive housing
3. Preserved existing and increase the supply of affordable housing
4. Provided housing services and assistance to special needs populations
5. Improved critical services to low-income and special needs populations
6. Coordinated services within the City as well as regionally in collaboration with the Continuum of
Care
7. Collaborated with all communities in Orange County to address homelessness with coordinated,
regional approaches
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Santa Ana coordinated with Orange County who operates a year-round emergency shelter in
the Civic Center of Santa Ana that provides safe sleep and emergency shelter for over 400 individuals
each night, and food and supportive services for over 600 individuals on a daily basis. The ESG funded
programs provided Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing, Emergency Shelter, and Street
Outreach services. The County also ran an emergency cold-weather shelter in Santa Ana during the
winter. In addition to these shelters, the City targeted actions to addres the needs of individuals who are
homeless that includes unaccompanied women, victims of domestic violence, chronically homeless
individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth.
The range of services include emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive
housing. ESG funds provided assistance for street outreach services, homeless prevention and rapid re-
housing.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
Through the objective summarized above in the Outreach section, the City strives to help individuals and
families from becoming homeless. The ESG program funds Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing,
Emergency Shelter, and Street Outreach services.Additionally, the County of Orange is equipped to
serve people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care such as health care facilities
or correction programs.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City supported a number of programs to assist low-income individuals and families to avoid
becoming homeless, including Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers. Other support services, such as job
and training assistance, food assistance, and counseling are also available to help individuals recover
from homelessness and to avoid becoming homeless. The City worked closely with the Continuum of
Care who provided oversight for the Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool
(VI-SPDAT) to prioritize the most vulnerable chronically homeless individuals. Case management services
were offered in all programs to help prevent individuals from falling back into homelessness.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The 2020–2024 Consolidated Plan identified several barriers to the development of affordable housing
including the following:
Limited funding sources, financial costs, and the costs of development.
Market constraints primarily the availability, cost, and competition for land.
Available land in the City mostly consists of small parcels that must be assembled for significant
new construction projects. Relocation costs and housing replacement requirements for
redeveloping improved properties also presents barriers to the development of affordable
housing.
The region’s rents have continued to increase. Higher rents limited the ability of some lower
income households to obtain decent and affordable housing. Households with no or poor credit
history are severely impacted.
In an effort to mitigate these barriers, Santa Ana undertook the following actions during the report
period:
Construction of new rental and homeownership units
Rehabilitation and/ or preservation of existing rental units
Homeowner rehabilitation programs for low- and moderate-income households
Through the City’s compliance with AB 1486 (Surplus Lands Act) as well as a constant monitoring of state
land made available through Executive Order N-06-19, the City will look to identify potential parcels of
underutilized land that can be leveraged for potential affordable housing development.
Continued to enforce the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance in which new residential projects
that meet the specified criteria must provide: 1) if the new residential project consists of units
for sale, then a minimum of 10% of the total number of units in the project shall be sold to
moderate income households; 2) If the new residential project consist of rental units, a
minimum of 15% of the units shall be rented to low income households, or 10% rented to very
low income households; or 3) the developer may elect to satisfy these requirements for the
project by payment of a fee in lieu of constructing some or all of the affordable units.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Based on the 2019 Point in Time Count and Survey, there are 6,860 individuals experiencing
homelessness in the County, with 1,769 in the City of Santa Ana. This is an increase of 769 individuals in
Santa Ana since the 2017 Point in Time Count. A challenge for Santa Ana is that many individuals
DRAFT CAPER 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
experiencing homelessness gravitate to specific cities, one of which is Santa Ana. A goal of the City is to
work closely with community and faithbased groups, other municipalities and the County to provide a
coordinated and regional effort to address homelessness throughout the County. In addition, several
programs were funded by HOME, CDBG and ESG to assist underserved individuals. The number of
persons assisted during the report period is highlighted throughout this report.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Lead-paint hazards are typically found in buildings constructed prior to 1978; the year lead based paint
was banned in the United States. Until 2012, children were identified as having a blood lead “level of
concern” if blood tests resulted in 10 or more micrograms of lead per deciliter. Experts now use a
reference level of 5 micrograms per deciliter to identify children with blood levels that are much higher
than most children’s levels. Although many children remain at risk exposure to harmful lead levels (i.e.,
blood lead levels greater than the CDC recommended level of 5 micrograms of lead per deciliter of
blood), the CDC reported a decline in blood levels in children age five and younger, largely a result of the
phase-out of leaded gasoline and efforts by federal, state, and local agencies to limit lead paint hazards
in housing.In all housing activities, the City complies with requirements to examine for the potential risk
of lead exposure. If and when lead is identified, the City works with the property owner and/ or
subrecipient to remediate the lead-based paint.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Santa Ana’s anti-poverty strategy includes expanding housing opportunities and support services for
low-income residents, and coordinating public and private resources to address their specific needs.
Services and activities supported by the City included:
Economic development program to stimulate the local economy and further increase job
opportunities for low- and moderate-income individuals.
Provide housing assistance through the City’s ESG and ESG-CV programs offering services
including: Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing, Emergency Shelter, and Street Outreach
services to reduce the number of poverty-level families that may have their housing status
negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Partner with and leverage local job training programs focused on supporting residents prepare
for and access living wage job opportunities.
Through the City’s housing programs, it will reduce the number of cost burdened households
living in the City, allowing them to allocate personal resources to other critical household needs.
Public services will be targeted to address critical needs of low-income and vulnerable residents
through the provision of programming, transportation, education, childcare and other key needs
that are identified by the City and its stakeholders. Services such as these are components to assist
individuals to be better suited to secure and retain living wage employment.
Homeless assistance, including prevention, will provide critical services to extremely low-income
households in need of immediate assistance and support to be better suited and able to take
steps to identify sustainable housing and employment options.

Improving public facilities eliminates existing facilities and infrastructure that negatively impacts
residential neighborhoods.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The institutional delivery system in Santa Ana is high-functioning and collaborative, particularly the
relationship between city departments and the nonprofit sector comprised of a network of capable
nonprofit organizations operating in Santa Ana and throughout Orange County that are delivering a full
range of services to residents. Affordable housing development and preservation activities are carried
out by the Housing Department of the Community Development Agency in partnership with housing
developers and contractors. The Planning and Building Agency supports code enforcement activities.
Public service activities are carried out by nonprofit organizations with support and oversight from the
Community Development Agency as necessary to achieve the Strategic Plan goals. The Community
Development, Public Works and Planning and Building Agencies work together with contractors to
implement public facilities and improvement projects.
The greatest challenge behind COVID-19, in the City’s institutional delivery system is the breadth and
diversity of need and exceeds the amount of available funding to completely address all needs within
the community. Consequently, even high priority needs cannot be fully funded. Further, due to the scale
of need within the community – nonprofit service providers are also operating at maximum capacity. As
a result, non-profit leadership has less time to dedicate to coordination and alignment with other
partner agencies and organizations to strategically target needs. In PY20 the Community Development
Agency worked to increase the efficiency of collaboration and coordination among different providers
operating in the City and throughout the region.
The City also supported programs aimed at enhancing. Examples of actions undertaken during the
report period to overcome gaps and enhance coordination included the following:
The City’s Workforce Development Board played a key role in developing employment
opportunities for lower income Santa Ana residents. The WDB is comprised of various
community leaders representing private employment, education, social services and
government. This diversity in the board’s representation ensures that the community’s
workforce needs are identified and addressed through a variety of public and private resources.
This advisory board also brings key community contacts together resulting in enhanced
coordination of program delivery and resource utilization.
The City participated in several homeless forums and committees. Specifically, the City served
on the Orange County Continuum of Care Board and participated in several committes including
the Housing Opportunity Committee, the Emergency Shelter Committee and the Data and
Performance Committee. The City also served on the Leadership Council for the United to End
Homelessness campaign empowered by the United Way and participated on the Executive
Committee. Through this participation, the City can ensure that barriers to housing and the
needs of the homeless are identified and addressed through the coordinated regional
implementation of limited funding and resources.
DRAFT CAPER 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
The City sought to encourage home ownership opportunities to promote neighborhood stability.
With a high median purchase price of homes, homeownership remains a challenge for
households earning less than 80% of county median income. Recent increases in housing costs
have exacerbated this situation.
Neighborhood residents were encouraged to participate in the preparation and implementation
of neighborhood assessments and plans, and were kept informed on homelessness issues. Santa
Ana’s Neighborhood Initiatives Program provided the means to facilitate this participation. This
coordination included working with a variety of city departments, public utilities, property
owners, tenants, nonprofit agencies and the school district.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City has increased coordination between public and private housing & social service agencies
incorporating feedback during the notice-and-comment period of the Substantial Amendments of the
2020-2021 Annual Action Plan. COVID-19 created an urgent need for services and the City was able to
incorporate feedback from private housing & social service agencies on CDBG-CV & ESG-CV allocations
allowing the City to cover urgent needs gap in the City not covered by private providers.
As in past years, Santa Ana made an effort to leverage private and federal funds with local and state
funds to increase and preserve the City’s supply of affordable rental housing. The greatest barrier to
affordable housing in the City is a limited supply of resources and available land to support the
development and preservation of affordable housing within the City. The City works closely with non-
governmental, state and federal agencies to identify potential funding streams and resources.
Several affordable housing projects are moving forward currently in the City and two projects for
individuals/veterans experiencing homelessness are in the pipeline. These are examples of how the City
is coordinating with private developers and social service agencies to create affordable housing
opportunities in Santa Ana.
The City’s owner-occupied housing rehabilitation programs have been instrumental in preserving
housing units occupied by lower income households. Furthermore, homeownership opportunities for
low- and moderate-income homebuyers were available via the City’s participation in the City’s Down
Payment Assistance Program. The City worked closely with Habitat for Humanity in completing the last
phase of the scattered site project where single family homes were developed to be sold at affordable
price and to restrict to income qualified households for a period of at least 45 years. Additionally, the
Santa Ana Housing Authority provided rental assistance vouchers to very-low income households.
Participants in the Housing Authority’s Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program were also referred to
classes (available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese) on how to prepare for homeownership.
City staff met regularly with public and private organizations to coordinate various efforts. The City's
relationship with nonprofit organizations in the community allowed for an integrated approach for
funding requests from local, state and federal agencies. The City worked with nonprofits as they applied
DRAFT CAPER 26
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
for funds for activities consistent with the objectives in the Consolidated Plan. The City also
communicated with various institutions to facilitate the exchange of information and to develop
strategies to provide benefits and housing services.
Homeless needs and priorities continue to be identified through the County’s CoC system. The City
consults with the County and local ESG entitlement grantees in regard to the use of ESG funds. On-going
meetings are held to coordinate the development of eligibility criteria, performance standards and
outcome measurements, as well as to establish funding, policies, and procedures for the operation and
administration of the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS).
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the

involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning
requirements
To ensure that HUD funds are used efficiently and in compliance with applicable regulations, the City
provides technical assistance to all subrecipients at the beginning of each program year and monitors
subrecipients throughout the program year.
The City of Santa Ana applied the same monitoring standards to its CDBG-CV and ESG-CV programs.
Technical Assistance
To enhance compliance with federal program regulations, the City provides an annual Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) workshop to review the Plan goals, program requirements and available resources
with potential applicants. Subsequent to the approval of the Annual Action Plan, a mandatory
subrecipient workshop is held to review program regulations in detail, to provide useful forms and
resources for documenting compliance and to review the City’s compliance procedures and
requirements. Additionally, individualized technical assistance is provided on an as-needed basis
throughout a program year.
Activity Monitoring
All activities are monitored, beginning with a detailed review upon receipt of an application to
determine eligibility, conformance with a National Objective and conformance with a Plan goal. This
review also examines the proposed use of funds, eligibility of the service area, eligibility of the intended
beneficiaries and likelihood of compliance with other federal requirements such as the National
Environmental Policy Act, the System for Award Management (SAM) debarment list, prevailing wage,
Minority and Women Business Enterprise, Section 3 and federal acquisition and relocation regulations,
as applicable.
Subrecipients are required to submit an audit and other documentation to establish their capacity, and
any findings noted in the audit are reviewed with the applicant. Eligible applications are then considered
for funding. Once funded, desk monitoring includes ongoing review of required quarterly performance
reports. For CDBG public service activities, an on-site monitoring is conducted once every two (2) years,
or more frequently as needed to ensure compliance. These reviews include both a fiscal and
programmatic review of the subrecipient’s activities. The reviews determine if the subrecipient is
complying with the program regulations and City contract. Areas routinely reviewed include overall
administration, financial systems, appropriateness of program expenditures, program delivery, client
eligibility determination and documentation, reporting systems, and achievement toward achieving
contractual goals. Following the monitoring visit, a written report is provided delineating the results of
the review and any findings of non-compliance and the required corrective action. Subrecipients
