Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement between the Ci ty of Santa Ana and the County of Orange Health Care Agency in the amount of $190,000. DISCUSSION Since 1997 the City of Santa Ana has contracted with AIDS Services Foundation Orange County and Solari Enterprises, Inc. to administer the Rental Assistance Program (RAP) funded under the Housing Opportunities For Persons With AIDS Program (HOPWA). Due to the increases in the Orange County rental market, the direct Housing Assistance Payment portion of the contract was greater than anticipated. Staff recommends that prior year unexpended Housing Assistance Payments be used to amend the agreement with Solari Enterprises for an additional $45,000 to cover these increases in rental payments. The City of Santa Ana has contracted with the Orange County Health Care Agency since 1993 to provide supportive housing services for persons living with HIV/AIDS. During the last HOPWA funding cycle, the Orange County Health Care Agency was unable to expend all the funds within the one-year term due to its contracting procedures. Staff recommends that the County's current agreement be amended to include the $190,000 of de- obligated funds from the County's FY 2003-2004 contract. 25C-1 Amendments to Agreements for the HUD HOPWA Program October 4, 2004 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT The Department of Housing and urban Development provides HOPWA funds to the City.
