DISCUSSION The City of Santa Ana receives the Federal Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant as it is the most populous city in Orange County. A strategic planning meeting was held on February 11, 2008, to determine priorities for the program year 2008-2009 funds. Representatives from the Orange County Health Care Agency, service providers from throughout the county, HIV/AIDS infected and affected individuals and City staff participated in the meeting. The recommended funding level for the County of Orange Health Care Agency was $824,650 for supportive housing services to individuals and families throughout Orange County. At this time, the County is requesting an additional $70,000 due to the economic downturn creating greater demand county-wide for emergency financial assistance, emergency shelter motel vouchers and short term assistance with rent and utilities. These additional funds, available from unexpended prior year allocations, will increase the agreement to $894,650. Any funds unexpended by the County at the close of the program year will be de-obligated and reallocated to other eligible activities. 25A-1 Amendment to Agreement with County of Orange Health Care Agency February 17, 2009 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Federal HOPWA Program Grant (account no. 405- 148-6931).
