Approve the Consolidated Five-Year Plan for 2010-2014 and Annual Action Plan and authorize
its submittal to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on April 20, 2010, by a vote of 4:0, the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission recommended that the City Council approve the Consolidated Five-Year
Plan for 2010-2014 and Annual Action Plan and authorize its submittal to the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
DISCUSSION
The Consolidated Five-Year Plan (Exhibit 1 } is a comprehensive planning and application
document that covers the four entitlement grants that the City receives each year from the U. S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Those grants are the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Grant (HOME), Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESC), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The
Consolidated Plan evaluates the community's need for affordable and supportive housing,
community development programs, social services, and economic opportunities. It outlines a
strategy to meet those needs and identifies programs and resources that can be used to address
them.
The Strategic Plan, which is one of the elements of the Consolidated Plan, describes the
objectives that the City of Santa Ana hopes to accomplish in the area of housing and community
development over the next five years, the strategies with which the City intends to achieve those
objectives and identifies the outcomes to be accomplished over the next five years. In order to
identify the priorities, a survey of community needs was prepared. Nearly 9,000 letters and flyers
announcing the survey's availability online were mailed to residents and stakeholders. Copies of

the survey itself were also mailed to 2,400 residents, community/business leaders, CDBG/ESG
interest lists and Housing Authority participants. From October 15, 2009 to January 15, 2010, the
Consolidated Plan and the survey were presented at numerous neighborhood association
meetings, and laptops were available to enable residents to enter their survey responses online.
Over 1,500 responses were received and used to identify resident and stakeholder priorities
among needs that can be addressed with the City's federal grant funds. The proposed priorities
are organized into five different goals relating to owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing
needs, homeless needs, special needs populations, and community needs consistent with HUD
guidelines. The objectives and strategies identified respond to those needs.
The Consolidated Plan also includes the first of five Annual Action Plans that will be prepared
during the five-year period covered by the Plan. The Annual Action Plan describes the intended
use of the entitlement grants for fiscal year 2010-11.
HUD regulations require that residents and other stakeholders have the opportunity to comment
on the proposed Consolidated Plan, and that their comments be given consideration in
preparation of the final document. On March 22 and April 5, 2010, notification was published in
the Orange County Register indicating that the draft Consolidated Plan was available for review
and that the public comment period ended on April 20, 2010. The notification was also published
in the Nguoi Viet and La Opinion. All comments received will be included in the final document
submitted to HUD.
