Approve the Substantial Amendment to the 2011-2012 Action Plan and authorize its submittal to the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION At its regular meeting on April 17, 2012, by a vote of 6:0 (Reyes Absent), the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission approved the recommended actions. DISCUSSION Each year the City of Santa Ana receives funding from various formula grant allocation programs administered by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds provide affordable and supportive housing, community development programs, public services and economic opportunities. The programs include the Community Development Block Grant (CDGB), the HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME), the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Grant. HOPWA funds have been provided to the City of Santa Ana since the inception of the program for use throughout the County to provide resources, supportive services and incentives for long-term comprehensive strategies to meet the housing needs for persons with HIV/AIDS. During fiscal year 2012-2013, the City anticipates receiving the following allocations: Program Allocation Program Allocation CDBG $5,680,480 ESG $538,354 HOME $1,228,217 HOPWA $1,548,618 29B-1 Con. Plan Annual Update and Substantial Amendment to the 2011-2012 Action Plan May 7, 2012 Page 2 Every five years the City must submit to HUD its Consolidated Plan. This is a five-year comprehensive planning document and application for all of these programs. It describes a strategy to meet the needs of the community and identifies resources and programs that can be used to address them. In May of 2010, the Five Year Plan for the period of July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015, was submitted to HUD. Each year the City is required to submit an Annual Update to the Consolidated Plan (Exhibit 1). This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Update covers the 2012-2013 fiscal years. It reaffirms the established policy of allocating funding in neighborhoods where programs and resources would have a maximum impact. In addition, key programs will continue to be operated throughout the City (and distributed Countywide for HOPWA funds) in order to better serve the diverse needs in the community. For FY 2011-2012, the City received a total of $471,714 in ESG funds, which was provided in two installments. HUD divided the allocation into two installments to allow entitlement communities to continue providing services until regulations governing the new ESG program could be created. In order to receive the second allocation, the City is required to submit a substantial amendment to the 2011-2012 Action Plan, which specifies how the funds will be used (Exhibit 2). The City has already allocated $297,635.84 from the first installment of the FY 2011-2012 allocation. The recommendations for the remaining balance of $174,078.16 are combined with the FY 2012-2013 allocation of $538,354 to comprise the FY 2012-2013 proposed ESG program and were approved by City Council on March 19, 2012. HUD regulations require that the draft Annual Update and the Substantial Amendment be made available for a 30-day public review and comment period. On March 19, 2012, notification was published in the Orange County Register that the draft plan was available for review beginning March 19, 2012, and that the public hearing would be held on April 17, 2012. It was also noticed in La Opinion and Nguoi Viet as well as on the City's website. The 30-day public comment period concluded on April 19, 2012, at 5 p.m. In accordance with Federal regulations, all neighboring jurisdictions were also informed of the draft's availability for review. All comments received, including all funding recommendations made by the City Council on May 7, will be included in the final document, which is due to HUD no later than May 15, 2012.

The Action Plan will serve as the link between the objectives developed to address priority housing and community needs identified in the City's 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan/Strategic Plan with federal resources allocated to the City by HUD. The specific timeframe for the 2012-2013 Action Plan begins July 1, 2012, and ends June 30, 2013. This timeframe is referred to as a Fiscal Year (FY) or Program Year (PY). The 2012-2013 Action Plan consists of several required components: ¦ Standard Form 424 - These forms serve as the City's formal application to HUD for grant funds for the 2012-2013 Program Year ¦ Resources - Federal, non-federal and private funds expected to be available to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the Consolidated Plan. This estimate includes program income for all federal grant funds. The Annual Plan also provides information regarding leveraging of non-federal and private resources with federal grant funds, and how the matching requirements of HUD programs will be met ¦ Description of Activities to be Undertaken - This information is provided in a format prescribed by HUD, including a short description of the activity, the location of the activity, and the target beneficiary population ¦ Geographic Distribution - A description of the geographic distribution of federal grant funds, including information regarding the distribution of federally funded assistance in areas of racial/ethnic minority concentration ¦ Homeless and other Special Needs - An outline specifying the activities that will be undertaken during the PY to address the needs of the City's households at risk of homelessness, those that are situational homeless, chronic homeless, and persons that are not homeless, but have special needs ¦ Other Actions - HUD requires that the City evaluate how strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan will be addressed during the Program Year including strategies to: DRAFT 04/08/2012 1 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 2913-8 2012/13 2010/11-2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN ACTION PLAN ¦ Address obstacles to meeting underserved needs ¦ Foster and maintain affordable housing ¦ Remove barriers to affordable housing ¦ Evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards ¦ Reduce the number of poverty level families ¦ Develop institutional structure ¦ Enhance coordination between public/private housing and service agencies ¦ Foster assisted housing improvements and resident initiatives ¦ Actions taken to address impediments to fair housing choice that may exist in the City ¦ Program Specific Requirements - There are certain program requirements that must be included in the Action Plan for each federal grant program. ¦ Monitoring - A description of the standards and procedures that the City will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and ensure proper use of federal funds. ¦ Certifications - HUD requires the City to submit various certifications related to the implementation of federal grant programs - these are standard HUD certifications. HUD requires that the City implement an outcomes measurement management system. This system is outlined in the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. The City has incorporated outcome measurement requirements into contracts with all sub-grantees and grantee- funded activities. Finally, the City has utilized a portion of HUD's Consolidated Plan Management Program (CPMP) tool to prepare the 2012-2013 Action Plan. HUD regulations also require that the City prepare an executive summary for each Action Plan that not only summarizes how the City will utilize HUD funds for 2012-2013, but also reviews prior year accomplishments. Since the 2011-2012 Fiscal Year was the only partially complete, no program/project information for this year has been reported in this plan. In subsequent years, a more complete executive summary will be incorporated into each Annual Plan. The City of Santa Ana is a recipient of four significant grants from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); these grants and the amount the City anticipates it will receive are listed below (see TABLE 1): 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 2 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-9 2010/11-2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN TABLE 1: ANTICIPATED FEDERAL GRANT RESOURCES FOR FY 2012-2013 RESOURCES Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) ANTICIPATED AmOUNI $5,680,480 CDBG Program Income $0 CDBG Prior Year Program Income $0 CDBG Reprogrammed Funds $0 HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) $1,228,217 HOME Program Income $0 Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) $538,354 ESG Reprogrammed Funds (from prior years) $0 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) $1,548,618 Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) - Prior Yr $0 TOTAL $8,999,669 Source: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and City of Santa Ana CDA As noted above, in addition to entitlement funds, there may be program income and prior year unexpended funds that may be added to the amounts listed above to carry out eligible activities.

TABLE 3 provides a summary of HUD grants and program income that will be programmed during FY 2012-2013. HUD also asks communities to outline other resources that may be available during the program year to leverage federal grant funds in an effort to address priority needs.

LEVERAGING OF RESOURCES HUD requires the City to discuss how federal resources to be made available during the 2012-2013 Program Year will leverage other non-federal public and private resources. In past years the City of Santa Ana had implemented a strategy of linking non-federal resources for housing and community development needs with federal grant funds. This strategy involves identifying federal resources that may be available to undertake a project. If grant funds are insufficient other non-federal resources will be utilized to meet project finance gaps. In past years local redevelopment funding was the primary source of leveraging (and HOME match). Unfortunately as of February 2012, State legislation has resulted in the dissolution of all California redevelopment agencies, and while some legislation is being considered that may address affordable housing needs, for the short- to medium-term, this funding source will no longer be available. The City will be severely challenged in identifying new resources that can be used to leverage declining federal funds. To the extent resources are available, the City will continue to commit non-federal DRAFT 04/08/2012 19 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 29B-26 resources to undertake activities that are not federally funded, but address the priority needs of the community. HUD's IDIS system will help facilitate more accurate reporting of leveraging resources. The list of resources identified in TABLE 3 may be used during the course of the year to leverage HUD funding. FEDERAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non-federal program resources. The HOME program does require that for every HOME dollar spent, the City must provide a 25% match with non-federal dollars; however, under certain circumstances, HUD will waive or reduce the match requirement. On September 19, 2011, HUD provided a list of HOME Participating Jurisdictions that were granted a match reduction.2 According to this notice, the City's HOME match requirement has been reduced to 0% because the City's "family poverty rate" is 125% or more of the average national poverty rate, the jurisdiction qualifies as distressed based on the family poverty rate criterion, and the City's per capita income is less than 75% of the national average. Even though Santa Ana is not required to provide HOME matching funds, the City will continue to implement its current strategy to match HOME funds by undertaking projects that blend local and private resources with HOME funds. HUD allows the City to use various resources to meet this match requirement including: ¦ Cash ¦ Value of waived taxes, fees or charges ¦ Value of donated land ¦ Value of donated materials and/or labor Based on past actions, HOME match resources will include the value of donated land and value of donated labor and materials, and/or direct subsidies with non-federal funds. As required, the City currently maintains a log of current match sources including a balance of excess match. The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program also has a match requirement. The City must match ESG expenditures dollar for dollar. The City of Santa Ana requires that subrecipients of ESG funds provide documentation of matching resources. An annual report of matching funds is provided to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. Z See HUD's website - http://www.hud.gov/offices/cpd/affordablehousing/programs/home/match/ 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 20 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-27 ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN An outline of activities the City of Santa Ana will undertake during the 2012-2013 Program Year is provided in TABLE 2. Activities were selected for implementation in order to address HIGH priority needs identified in the City's Consolidated Plan. A detailed description of activities to be undertaken is provided in EXHIBIT 3 - LISTING OF PROPOSED ACTIVITIES. Descriptions of Activities include: Number and type of accomplishment the proposed activity will address ¦ Location of activity ¦ Proposed end date ¦ Amount/source of HUD entitlement funds ¦ Priority need and proposed outcome/performance measure To facilitate the evaluation of Santa Ana's progress toward meeting five-year objectives the City has chosen to use HUD TABLE 3A (Version 2) to track one- and five-year accomplishments. This table will be updated annually and incorporated into year-end performance reports. This HUD table is incorporated into the Annual Plan as EXHIBIT 2. Additional tracking of goals will be carried out by updating various tables found in the Consolidated Plan, which will be incorporated into subsequently Annual Plans. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION The geographic distribution of HUD grant funds is depicted in MAP 1. This map provides a view of the City's CDBG Target Area where CDBG resources will be focused, and plots where proposed activities will be located. As evidenced by MAP 1, HUD-funded activities are limited to the City's Low-and Moderate-Income area, which encompasses the majority of the City's residential areas. Areas of the City outside of the CDBG target areas will benefit from activities that are limited-clientele in nature, that is, a person/household can benefit from a federally assisted program provided they meet the program's eligibility criteria. Eligibility is typically established by household income and household size. HOPWA-funded activities will be available on a countywide basis. In July 2003, HUD notified the City of Santa Ana that it is exempt from the cap on Low- and Moderate-Income levels currently applied to the CDBG and HOME programs. Traditionally, DRAFT 04/08/2012 21 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 29B-28 HUD has capped the 80 percent income level to an amount lower than the actual 80 percent of the area's median income. Utilization of the uncapped 80 percent income level theoretically allows more households to qualify for CDBG and HOME funded activities. The City of Santa Ana has chosen to utilize the capped 80 percent income standard for limited clientele activities and the uncapped income for area-wide benefit activities. The table below provides a listing of HUD's 2012 "Capped and 2012 Uncapped" income standard for Orange County.

As reported in the 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan, it is estimated in 2009 there were 1,925 homeless individuals Santa Ana at the time the County undertook its biennial Point In Time census of the region's homeless. Because individuals enter and leave homelessness on an ongoing basis, it was estimated that 4,961 Santa Ana residents' were homeless over the course of a year. To address the needs of these individuals, the City will;continue its efforts to identify efficient and effective means to distribute limited resources for homeless needs. The City has designated emergency and transitional housing as high priorities for addressing homelessness. There are 16 emergency and transitional shelters in the City, providing an estimated 265 emergency and 317 transitional housing beds - more than any other city in the County.3 During the 2012-2013 Program Year the City will also incorporate into its agreements a provision that each ESG-funded agency prepare and implement a policy that will help ensure persons discharged from local publicly funded institution have access to housing/services thus preventing their immediate homelessness upon discharge. On May 20, 2009, President Obama signed into law a bill to reauthorize HUD's McKinney- Vento Homeless Assistance programs: The bill included parts of the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act. Since the provisions of the bills were identical, both have become known as the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act. The HEARTH Act made numerous changes to HUD's homeless assistance programs: ¦ Replaced the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program with the Emergency Solutions Grant (ES(i) program ¦ Homelessness prevention is significantly expanded ¦ New incentives place more emphasis on outreach/assessment and rapid re-housing, especially for homeless families • The existing emphasis on creating permanent supportive housing for people experiencing chronic homelessness will continue, although now families can also be considered chronically homeless 3 Total emergency shelter beds do not include 250 seasonal beds that are opened during winter months offered at the National Guard Armory located in Santa Ana. 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 24 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-31 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN I 2012/13 ACTION PLAN ¦ Consultation with Continuum of Care (CoC) - The City must consult with the CoC that serves the regional homeless ¦ The HEARTH Act also required changes to the way ESG funds are allocated; specifically, only 60 percent of the City's ESG grant may be used for shelter and outreach services The Act also modified the definition of homelessness and allows ESG grantees to use some Continuum of Care funding for people who are not homeless under HUD's definition, but are homeless under definitions of homelessness used by other federal agencies. Additionally, the HEARTH Act added a definition for a person that is at imminent risk of homelessness or where a family or unaccompanied youth is living unstably. The Hearth Act also required that the City make certain modifications to, its Consolidated Plan, Action Plan and year-end performance reports. Amendments, to the Consolidated Plan will be undertaken by the City as part of a separate action. The 2012-2013 Action Plan will take into account required modifications as will the upcoming 2011-2012 Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER, i.e., year-end performance report). Taking the HEARTH Act into account, during the 2012-2013 Program Year, the City will undertake the following homeless housing/service activities: HOMELESS ASSISTANCE - OUTREACH & SUPPORTIVE SERVICES Santa Ana's Continuum of Care strategy calls for the provision of outreach and support services to assist individuals and families that are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. ESG resources will be provided to local nonprofit organizations and the City's police department; outreach ':services will be provided to an estimated 947 individuals during FY 2012-2013. Additionally, "the City has allocated CDBG funds to fund the HEART Program, which will be used to supplement ESG funding for outreach/assessment. These activities are summarized in EXhlbit 3 - LISTING OF PROPOSED PROJECTS. Additionally, on a countywide basis, HOPWA will be used to provide homelessness supportive services to an estimated 376 households. HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION A key component of Santa Ana's Continuum of Care strategy is to prevent individuals and families from falling into homelessness. This is accomplished by providing monetary assistance and counseling/support services to households at risk of becoming homeless. The City's continuum of care for the homeless strategy calls for providing ESG resources to agencies that provide this type of assistance. An estimated 288 individuals will be assisted with homelessness prevention services during FY 2012-2013. Specific activities to be undertaken during the 2012-2013 Program Year are outlined in the LISTING OF PROPOSED PROJECTS - EXHIBIT 3. Additionally, on a countywide basis, HOPWA will be used to provide DRAFT 04/08/2012 25 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 29B-32 2012/13 12010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN ACTION PLAN homelessness prevention assistance to an estimated 392 individuals via short-term rent and mortgage/utility assistance. SHELTER The City will provide funds to shelter providers via the ESG and HOPWA programs. These funds will help offset the costs of providing emergency shelter, transitional housing and support services (e.g., legal assistance) for Santa Ana's homeless (and the region's homeless with HIV/AIDS with HOPWA funding). Emergency shelters are geared toward providing immediate housing to persons without shelter. Stays in emergency shelters are typically limited to a short period of time (1 to 90 days). When blended with support services, this environment can help stabilize a household in order to ascertain interim housing and service needs. The critical link between homelessness and self-sufficiency, is often provided by transitional housing programs. In this setting, homeless individuals and families are provided free or very low cost housing, enriched with support services aimed,,at building self-reliance skills. An estimated 684 individuals will be assisted with ESG-funded emergency shelter services during FY 2012-2013.4 Additionally, 196 County residents will be assisted with emergency shelter or transitional housing with HOPWA funds.5 Specific activities to be carried out during the 2012-2013 Program Year are delineated in the LISTING OF PROPOSED PROJECTS- EXHIBIT 3. RAPID RE-HOUSING/TRANSITION TO PERMANENT HOUSING In recent years a new model to address the housing and service needs of the homeless has emerged - rapid re-housing. In contract to the shelter/services model, the primary notion of rapid re-housing is to transition a homeless individual or household into stable housing as quickly as possible, thus avoiding the creation of separate housing and services for people who happen to be at risk of or who are already experiencing homelessness. In 2009, the City implemented the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-housing (HPRP) program. This $2,831,989 HUD grant was authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The City allocated these funds to 13 programs managed by nonprofit agencies. HPRP resources were used to provide Santa Ana residents with homelessness prevention and access to housing permanent (via rapid re-housing programs) over a three year period. The HPRP program will sunset in the fall of 2012; however as of 4 Total includes 580 individuals assisted with emergency shelter (including 355 victims of domestic violence), 63 individuals with transitional housing, and 41 with shelter-based legal services. 5 Total includes 67 County residents assisted with HOPWA-funded emergency shelter plus 129 County residents assisted with HOPWA-funded transitional housing.. 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 26 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-33 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN ( 2012/13 ACTION PLAN December 2011, 1,338 individuals (549 households) have been assisted with HPRP funds. Of these individuals 1,075 (445 households) received homelessness prevention assistance and 263 individuals (104 households) have participated in HPRP-funded rapid re-housing programs. (A separate accomplishment report will be completed by the City at the end of each HPRP program year.) As indicated previously, passage of the HEARTH Act has "slightly shifted emphasis from emergency shelter in the Emergency Shelter Grants program to housing prevention and rapid re-housing assistance in the Emergency Solutions Grants program. ESG program regulations specifically list rapid re-housing as one of the ' five. program components.i6 Access to decent, affordable permanent housing is the ultimate: goal of the City's Continuum of Care system. In the past, the City has provided HOME, CDBG and Redevelopment resources to nonprofit service providers in order to acquire and rehabilitate housing units for persons leaving homeless programs. Some of these units have been targeted for special need populations such as the disabled, youth, and individuals living with HIV/AIDS. During the 2012-2013 Program Year, the Housing Authority will reserve ten vouchers to assist households graduating out of a transitional housing program. HOPWA funding will be utilized to provide rental assistance to 50, individuals/families living with HIV/AIDS on a countywide basis :and will also maintain lease payments for 260 additional housing units previously built with HOPWA funds. The City has also allocated ESG resources to fund five service providers, which will place an estimated 99 homeless individuals in permanent housing 'Via rapid re-housing. programs. The City will encourage service providers to make every effor=t to minimize the amount of time an individual/household remain homeless, provide access to affordable housing, and to minimize recidivism. SPECIAL NEEDS OF PERSONS NOT HOMELESS BUT IN NEED OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING Santa Ana will continue to provide federal resources to meet the needs of persons with special needs (e.g;, elderly, victims of domestic violence, persons with disabilities, persons living with HIV/AIDS). Various programs will be undertaken during the 2012-2013 Program Year including housing rehabilitation (which may include installation of items such as ramps, grab bars, wider doors, etc.), to improve mobility for persons with disabilities, and public services. Specific activities to be carried out are delineated in the LISTING of PROPOSED PROJECTS - EXHIBIT 3. 6 24 CFR Parts 91 and 576, Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing: Emergency Solutions Grants program and Consolidated Plan Conforming Amendments.

In addition to identifying impediments, a strategy to overcome these barriers must be implemented. The Al must be prepared to complement the Consolidated Plan. The City was a participant in the development of a regional Al, prepared by the Fair Housing Council of Orange County (FHCOC) on behalf of ten municipal jurisdictions and the County of Orange. This document covers an array of private and public sector policies affecting housing choice locally, and in the Orange County region. This document has served as the basis for fair housing planning. The Al covers the 2010-2014 timeframe. Summary of Impediments Identified in the Analysis 1. Housing Discrimination: Housing discrimination may be under reported, therefore, the number of complaints may not accurately measure the extent of this fair housing impediment. A review of available data indicated that at the time the Al was prepared, complaints were mainly related to disability (35 percent), race and color (20 percent) and national origin (14 percent). 2. Real Estate Advertising: This . impediment refers to 'print advertisements for the sale/rental of a dwelling that indicates a preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, or source of.income. A review of relevant data (online and newspaper `print ads) found about 8 percent contained questionable language. The overwhelming majority of the, questionable language was "No Pets" which occurred in 14.8 percent of the ads. Other questionable language included "near church/school." 3. Hate Crimes: A hate crime is defined in the Al as "a criminal act committed, in whole or in part, because of one or more of the following actual or perceived characteristics of the victim: disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, association with `a person/group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics. 4. Unfair Lending: This impediment refers to underwriting, marketing and pricing that discriminates because of income, race or ethnicity of the residents in the area where the property is located. An evaluation of 2008 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data found there was disparity in loan approval/denial rates among racial and ethnic borrowers, in particular, Hispanic applicants had higher loan denial rates than White, Non-Hispanic borrowers. 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 28 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-35 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN 5. Zoning Policies and Practices: Federal and state fair housing laws require all local governments to affirmatively further fair housing opportunities. One way is to make reasonable accommodations in building, land use, and housing when necessary to afford disabled persons an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. 6. City has identified the following impediments: ¦ Lack of supportive and transitional housing zoning regulations ¦ Lack of reasonable accommodation ordinance ¦ Lack of visitability and universal design regulations in the Municipal Code Actions to Address Identified Impediments: The following have been identified in the Al as actions that may be taken to address identified impediments to fair housing: 1. Housing Discrimination: The City will contract with the FHCOC to receive, investigate and address housing discrimination complaints filed by City residents. The FHCOC will compile an Annual Report summarizing housing discrimination complaints they receive and discrimination cases filed with the State Department of Fair Employment and Housing and HUD. The FHCOC will transmit the Annual Report to the City by August of each calendar year. 2. Real Estate Advertising: FHCOC will continue to-encourage the OC Register to publish a Fair Housing Notice in the "For Rent' <. classified ad section and identify the FHCOC as an agency that can respond to fair housing questions. They will also continue to encourage the LA Times and OC Register to publish 'a "no pets" disclaimer that indicates rental housing owners must provide reasonable accommodations, including "service animals" and "companion animals" for disabled persons. The FHCOC will also periodically review for rent and for sale ads published in the print media and online and will report findings via an annual accomplishments report to the City each August. 3. Hate Crimes: The City will work in partnership with the FHCOC to coordinate services with the OC Human Relations Commission and the Orange County Victim Assistance Partnership to address hate crimes that may occur in the City. The FHCOC will also assist the City as a referral source for hate crime victims. 4. Unfair Lending: Actions identified to overcome unfair lending practices include the following: FHCOC will continue to monitor HMDA data during 2012-2013 and will endeavor to complete a HMDA analysis of the top 10 lenders in Orange County to compare and contrast loan denial rates. FHCOC will also conduct a follow-up analysis of loan denial rates at the neighborhood level to determine if redlining exists; provide homebuyer education programs in neighborhoods with high denial rates, high minority population concentrations, and with limited English speaking proficiency to help increase loan approval rates.

Zoning Policies and Practices: City will contract with Fair Housing Council of Orange County to provide a variety of fair housing services. The City will also consider undertaking a review of land use and zoning regulations to identify practices and procedures that act as barriers to the development, siting and the use of housing for individuals with disabilities. The Al recommends that the City craft a reasonable accommodation ordinance that allows for consideration of reasonable modifications to building codes, land use, zoning, and permitting processes to allow people with disabilities to fully use housing. 6. To address local impediments, the City will consider implementing the following: ¦ Implement the Uniform Building Code in new and major rehabilitation projects ¦ Amend the City's zoning code to address the requirements of Government Code Section 65583(a)(5)7 ¦ The City will consider creating a reasonable accommodation ordinance that includes a local definition of disability ¦ The City will evaluate the feasibility of visitability and universal design concepts for incorporation into the Municipal Code .8 STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION HUD requires that the City reevaluate how the additional strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan will be addressed `during the Program Year. OBSTACLES TO MEETING UNDERSERVED NEEDS The City of Santa Ana will undertake many activities aimed at addressing the needs of the community's underserved. The underserved include the elderly, disabled, youth, homeless, and very low-income households. In order to serve these populations, the City will focus limited resources toward upgrading existing housing units and expanding the number of affordable housing units for both owners and renters. Housing rehabilitation and acquisition/development of new rental housing units are examples of activities slated for implementation during the 2012-2013 Program Year although these efforts will be severely limited due to the loss of redevelopment funding. Additionally, the City will use American State code requires that the City identify a zone(s) where year-round emergency shelters are permitted without a conditional use permit or other discretionary permit. Designated zone(s) must have adequate capacity to accommodate the unmet emergency shelter need of local homeless. 8 Per the City's Al, "visitability" refers to housing designed to be lived in by people who have trouble with steps or who use wheelchairs or walkers. A house is visitable when it meets three requirements: one zero-step entrance, door with 32 inches of clear passage space, and one bedroom on the mail floor accessible by a wheelchair. 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 30 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-37 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) funds on hand to assist an estimated four households to purchase a home.9 Finally, the City and local nonprofits will continue to provide services for underserved City residents. Social services to be funded during the 2012-2013 Program Year include senior meals, homelessness outreach, youth and gang diversion/enforcement services. By focusing resources on the housing and community needs identified as HIGH priority the City will be able to utilize limited resources more efficiently. When available, Santa Ana will seek out additional resources beyond federal and local funds to address barriers. FOSTERING AND MAINTAINING AFFORDABLE HOUSING Many of the barriers to maintaining and expanding affordable housing opportunities for all residents of Santa Ana are attributable to market constraints. Many of these market constraints are beyond the control of the City. 'Overcoming these barriers has been made more difficult with the loss of redevelopment funding. Prior to February 2012, the City would utilize its limited resources to foster and maintain affordable housing by leveraging federal funds with local redevelopment funds. The City will now seek other funding resources such as those available to nonprofit housing developers in an effort to increase the supply of long term affordable housing. The City's owner occupied housing stock will be preserved with rehabilitation funds .jqr homeowners and enforcement of local housing/building codes. In July 2008, the Housing and Economic Recovery_Act of 2008 was signed into law. This law authorized the creation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), which aims to curtail the"negative impact ofJoreclosed homes on residential neighborhoods. The City of Santa Ana qualified as,, a direct HUD-NSP round one recipient ($5,795,151). With these funds, the City implemented a program that used funds to acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed residential properties. These units were marketed and sold to qualified homebuyers Additionally, the City allocated 25 percent of program funds for housing for Very Low-Income persons by'working in partnership with a nonprofit and for-profit housing developer. In January 2010, the City was awarded $10,000,000 in NSP2 funds as part of a nationwide competition. These resources were used in the same manner as NSP1 funding. The City has also qualified for NSP3 funds. In total the City has received approximately $17 million. At the conclusion of the NSP program, the City anticipates it will have assisted 140 households to become new homeowners, plus producing at least 54 newly refurbished rental units that are affordable to very low-income households. s The funding for the ADDI program has been terminated; however, the City has approximately $204,000 in funding on hand. DRAFT 04/08/2012 31 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 29B-38 2012/13 2010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN ACTION PLAN BARRIERS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING The City will implement an array of housing programs in order to enhance and expand the supply of affordable housing in Santa Ana. As outlined above, the City will provide housing rehabilitation programs for both owner- and rental-housing units. Additionally, programs to provide new homeownership opportunities will be undertaken with NSP funding. For renters, the City will evaluate various activities including rental assistance vouchers, acquisition and new construction or rehabilitation activities. The City will continue to utilize its strategy to leverage federal funds with non-federal resources (to the extent they are available), especially those available to nonprofit housing.developers. A recent and significant barrier to the provision -of affordable housing opportunities for Santa Ana residents is the end of redevelopment in California. For Santa Ana, the mandated termination of the redevelopment agency activities translates to the loss of several million dollars annually dedicated solely for affordable housing. For 2012-2013 this issue has been compounded by significant reductions in HOME and CDBG funds. LEAD-BASED PAINT As outlined in the City's 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan, HUD estimates that 74 percent of dwellings built prior to 1980 have some level of lead-based .paint. Since over 80 percent of Santa Ana's housing'was built before 1980, the City recognizes lead-based paint hazards as an economic and health issue. The cost of removing lead paint often acts as a deterrent to addressing this problem especially for lower income families. The City has implemented HUD's lead-based paint hazards regulations (Title X). These regulations require that certain types of HUD-funded housing activities must be tested for lead-based paint hazards prior to the beginning of any work. If the property owner moves forward with the HUD-funded housing activity, all lead-based paint hazards will be controlled or abated using HUD defined "safe work` practices." Complying with lead paint requirements has increased rehabilitation costs, and has also added to the project timeline. These regulations have also prompted some potential program participants to drop their request for rehabilitation assistance. Nonetheless, the City will provide educational materials to program participants that outline the need and benefits of identifying and eliminating lead-based paint hazards. ANTI-POVERTY STRATEGY The City has identified numerous factors it can influence to combat poverty. Activities and services the City will implement during the 2012-2013 Program Year to combat poverty include the following: 2012-2013 ANNUALACTiON PLAN 32 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-39 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN ¦ Affordable housing programs including rehabilitation, rental assistance, and creation of new affordable housing units (via new construction or acquisition/rehabilitation). ¦ Homeless assistance including outreach, prevention activities, emergency shelter, transitional housing, and rapid re-housing/permanent housing opportunities. Support services will be blended with these activities. ¦ Public safety to prevent criminals from victimizing the poor (e.g., gang enforcement services). ¦ Public facility improvements to improve the overall infrastructure of the City, but more specifically to eliminate public improvements/infrastructure that negatively impact residential neighborhoods. ¦ Job training, job-search skills and job placement to provide those living in poverty with employment opportunities that pay higher wages, ¦ Youth recreation and diversion services which' provide youth living; in poverty with alternatives to gang and crime activities. ¦ The Housing Authority will continue to implement' the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program, which will provide rental assistance, life skills training and referrals to employment training for program participants. As indicated above, pending reductions in 'HUD and local redevelopment funds will impede the implementation of :affordable housing activities. These same resources were also identified by the City as the funding sourcefor several of the activities aimed at reducing poverty in the City. As with housing programs, the City will need to reevaluate which of the planned activities aimed at reducing poverty.in the community are still viable and/or which will be scaled back due to budget cuts. DEVELOPMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURES In light of reductions/elimination of the primary sources of funding that support the City's Consolidated Plan strategic plan, the City increase efforts to develop institutional structures and enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies, and foster assisted, housing improvements and resident initiatives. The City will continue to utilize a network of referrals, contacts and partnerships to implement the strategies outlined in the Consolidated Plan. The City's Workforce Investment Board will work closely with local businesses to identify their workforce needs. The "One Stop" center will assist current and former welfare recipients obtain training and gainful employment. The Center will also help adult displaced workers who are seeking new employment opportunities after being laid-off.

The City will also continue to participate in the regional Continuum of Care Steering Committee in order to identify the housing and service needs of the County's homeless. Santa Ana will also participate in the implementation of a regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing working with the Fair Housing Council to,monitor and report actions taken to overcome impediments to fair housing choices. With respect to'federal HOPWA funds, the City will consult with private, nonprofit, community, and public institutions to assess the needs of persons with HIV/AIDS, and determine the allocation of resources < Finally, the City and the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana will continue to work jointlyto meet the housing needs of Santa Ana's very low-income renters. STRUCTURES TO ENHANCE COORDINATION IN_THE COMMUNITY Coordination will be enhanced between, public agencies, private entities, and community residents through various means. For example, coordination between the City and residential neighborhoods will continue to be enhanced through the City's Neighborhood Improvement (NIP) Program. NIP will be, responsible for assisting Santa Ana's 63 neighborhood associations by bringing key staff from the City, County, other governmental agencies, the private sector, etc:, directly, to neighborhoods to address their concerns and needs. Additionally, the City will continue to support the Santa Ana Resource Network's efforts to coordinate the efficient delivery of services to community residents. FOSTER AND MAINTAIN ASSISTED HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS AND INITIATIVES The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana does not operate public housing - it only provides Housing-Choice Voucher rental assistance. The Housing Authority is required to prepare a Five-Year and Annual plans that highlight its mission, goals and objectives as it relates to the Housing Choice Voucher program. The Authority's plans were prepared in conjunction with the City's Consolidated Plan. Both documents contain references to programs that may offer mutual support to meeting respective Plan objectives. The City will support the Housing Authority's efforts to assist its participants, just as the Authority is dedicated to assisting the City to implement its Consolidated Plan objectives. 2012-2013 ANNUALAcTION PLAN 34 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-41 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT The City of Santa Ana has developed a variety of programs aimed at stabilizing and expanding economic opportunities for its residents and the Orange County region in general.

MEASURE OUTCOMES The City has implemented HUD's results oriented management and accountability system for HUD-funded activity. This system is an effort to measure outcomes of HUD-funded programs as well as measure :outputs. The City of Santa Ana implemented this system during the 2005-2006 Program Year based, on information provided by HUD, and subsequently revised these efforts as dictated byHUD's final regulations. Presently all HUD- funded activities are linked to outcome measurements that are incorporated into the City's 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan. Grant applications, grant agreements and quarterly accomplishment reports have been prepared to include HUD-required outcome data to facilitate accurate reporting in IDIS.

These actions are outlined below. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT The City of Santa Ana will expend CDBG funds on eligible activities to address priority housing and community needs. It is anticipated that 100 percent -of CDBG funded activities will benefit Low- and Moderate-Income households (that is, no CDBG funds will be spent on activities that do not benefit a minimum of 51 percent Low- and Moderate-Income households). These activities are described in detail .in ExHIBIT 3. The, City anticipates it will receive program income during the 2012-2013 Program Year. As required by HUD regulations, these resources will be utilized during the program year. The City did not have any grant funds returned to its line of credit, nor will it undertake float-funded activities (thus it will ''not realize any program income from float-funded activities). Finally, the City does not anticipate undertaking urgent need activities during the 2012-2013 Program Year. HOME The City of Santa Ana 2012-2013 HOME program is designed to undertake eligible activities to preserve existing affordable housing, expand the supply of decent and affordable housing, and strengthen„public-privatep artnerships. All HOME assisted units will have appropriate covenants and written agreements in accordance with HUD regulations. To comply with HOME regulations.a homeownership unit will meet certain "affordable" requirements: ¦ The initial purchase price cannot exceed 95 percent of the area median purchase price ¦ The home must be the principal residence of low-income household ¦ The unit is subject to resale restrictions; specifically for Santa Ana, the City will allow for subsequent purchase of a HOME-assisted property only by low income buyer. Affordability covenants will be in place for 15 years. ADDI is a subprogram of the HOME grant. No new ADDI funds have been provided by HUD; however, the City may use remaining prior year allocations to help qualified homebuyer obtain mortgage financing. Over the past years, the City has received a total of $341,240 in ADDI funding from HUD - presently the City has a balance of approximately $204,000. 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 36 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-43 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN Federal regulations require that if HOME funds are used to refinance existing debt secured by multi-family housing, the City must ensure that its rehabilitation program guidelines comply with section 92.206(b) of the HOME Program regulations. Even though no such project is contemplated for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, HUD requires that the City outline certain program provisions in the Action Plan; therefore, should a multi-family housing rehabilitation/refinance project present itself to the City, at a minimum, the following program provisions will be implemented: ¦ Refinancing will be permitted on a citywide basis; however such assistance will only be provided to permit or continue affordability for ;projects undertaken by a qualified nonprofit affordable housing development organization in good -standing with City, HUD, private lenders, etc. ¦ The minimum affordability period shall be 15 years. ¦ Rehabilitation, not refinancing, must be the primary eligible purpose for the use of HOME funds. To ensure that this requirement is met a minimum level of rehabilitation of $15,000 per unit is required. ¦ A review of management practices will be undertakenby the City to determine that disinvestment in the property has not occurred,'that the long term needs of the project can be met, and that the feasibility.-of serving the targeted population over the extended affordability period can be demonstrated. During the 2012-2013 Program Year, the City does not plan to use HOME funds for homebuyer;assistance; however, if such assistance were to be provided, the City will market the program citywide, and in various languages. Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance recipients and residents currently residing in manufactured housing will also be targeted to fill HOME-a-ssisted units. In order to ensure participating households are suitably prepared to become homeowners, all :participants will be required to attend pre- and post-ownership training provided by a H,UD-authorized housing counseling center. Furthermore, to ensure compliance with the housing affordability terms of 24 CFR 92.254, the City will impose a recapture provision that will recoup all of the HOME assistance provided to a homebuyer if the housing unit does not continue to be the principal residence of the program participant during the period of affordability. As required by the HOME program, the City has implemented an Affirmative Marketing program for all projects with five or more HOME-assisted units. This is to insure that multi- family owners receiving HOME funds will inform and solicit rental applications from persons DRAFT 04/08/2012 37 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 29B-44 2012/13 12010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN ACTION PLAN in the housing market who are not likely to apply for the housing without special outreach. Additionally, the City has adopted a Minority Outreach Program to ensure minorities- and women- businesses are provided the opportunity to participate in HOME-funded activities. EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT In December 2011, a Request for Proposals was mailed to homeless service providers soliciting applications for FY 2012-2013 ESG funds. Twenty-seven applications were received by the City requesting over $1,035,000. Grant applicants primarily sought funds to offset the costs of shelter operations and essential services. To a lesser degree, homelessness prevention funding was requested. In March 2012 an ad hoc committee conducted interviews to rate and rank proposals. Evaluation criteria took into consideration the following factors: ¦ Number of people being served ¦ Location of the service being provided ¦ Percentage of program budget represented by the request ¦ Prior funding history with the Cityof Santa, Ana ¦ Need for the service being proposed The ad hoc committee funding recommendations were considered at the 2012-2013 Annual Plan public hearing. Subsequently, the City Council approved the allocation of all 2012-2013 Emergency Solutions Grant funds. All ESG grant applicants are required to identify the source of match funds in their application. Match funds must equal or exceed the amount of grant funds requested. Grant applicants have identified :other Federal, State, and/or local government funds, private` donations and fees for services as ESG matching funds.

HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS HOPWA funds for Program Year 2012-2013 will be utilized to undertake eligible activities to meet the needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS that presently are not met by other public and private resources. To identify program gaps, a countywide survey to assess the needs for the region's HIV/AIDS population was conducted during the 2004-2005 Program Year. This survey was a community-based planning effort that incorporated the input of interested community members including individuals living with HIV/AIDS, representatives of HIV/AIDS service and housing organizations, housing developers, representatives of local 2012-2013 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 38 DRAFT 04/08/2012 29B-45 2010/11-2014-15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2012/13 I ACTION PLAN government agencies, advocates, and others.

This Amendment is necessary to allow the City to receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) stage 2 funds that constitute a special allocation of FY 2011-12 ESG funds. On November 15, 2011, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) posted the interim rule for the Emergency Solutions Grants program and Consolidated Plan conforming amendments (Interim Rule) on HUD's Homelessness Resource Exchange website at www.hudhre.info. On December 5, 2011, the Interim Rule was published in the Federal Register (see 76 FR 75954). Also on November 15, HUD announced the amounts of the second allocation of FY 2011 Emergency Shelter Grants program/Emergency Solutions Grants program funds. To receive funds from the second allocation, the City must prepare and obtain HUD approval of a substantial amendment to its Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Annual Action Plan. This Notice advises recipients of the 24 CFR part 91 requirements that will apply to this substantial amendment, highlights the relevant changes under the Interim Rule, and provides guidance on critical decisions to be made in the planning process. 03/15/2012 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2011-2012 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN EM-49 2 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE I 2010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2011/12 ACTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARING THE SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2011 CONSOLIDATED PLAN ANNUAL ACTION PLAN CONSULTATION Since 1998, there has been a comprehensive, coordinated, and regional Continuum of Care strategy that includes participation of all 34 cities in Orange County, County Agencies, the County's homeless housing and service providers, and other community groups, including non- profits, local governmental agencies, faith-based organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless, interested business leaders, schools and other stakeholders to identify the gaps and unmet needs of the County's homeless. Homeless needs and priorities continue to be identified through the County's Continuum of Care system. In February 2012, the City began consultation with the Continuum of Care Coordinator and other ESG recipients specifically as it relates to the use of ESG funds. The City also consulted with the CoC Coordinator on determining how to allocate ESG funds for eligible activities. Additional consultation meetings will be held to develop performance standards and evaluating outcomes, as well as develop funding, policies, and procedures for the operation and administration of the HMIS. In addition, Orange County has developed a comprehensive Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness (the Plan). The Plan outlines the key goals and strategies necessary to successfully eliminate homelessness in Orange County. The Plan includes strategies to increase and improve the efficacy of the shelter and housing systems for homeless families and the provision of a rapid re-housing program for Emergency Shelter clients. The City will review areas of the Plan where ESG funds could be used to assist in achieving identified goals. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION In accordance with 24 CFR 91.105(c)(3) for local governments, the substantial amendment Public Notice for the use of ESG funds was released for citizen review and comments on March 19, 2012. During the 30-day public comment period from March 19, 2012 through April 19, 2012 the Public Notice for the Draft Substantial Amendment was made available during regular business hours between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday in the offices of the Housing Department, 20 Civic Center Plaza, 3rd Floor, Community Development Agency, 20 Civic Center Plaza, 6th Floor, Office of the Clerk of the Council, 20 Civic Center Plaza, Room 809, the Main Public Library, 26 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California and on the city's website. The Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission of the City of Santa Ana held a public hearing on April 17, 2012, at 6:00 p.m., at the City Council Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California 92701. Following the 30-day public comment period and public hearing, the City Council of Santa Ana will hear and vote on the Substantial Amendment to the 2011-12 Action Plan on May 7, 2012. A copy of the public hearing notice is presented in Exhibit 2. A summary of citizen comments received at the public hearing and responses to these citizen comments are presented in Exhibit 2.

The ad hoc committee was composed of a city staff member, two members of the Community Redevelopment and Housing Commission and a county staff member. The county staff member is also the Continuum of Care Coordinator. Therefore through this process the City was able to consult with the CoC in determining how to allocate ESG fund for Eligible activities. As the consultation process in a continued effort, the City will have future meetings with the CoC as well as other ESG recipients in the county to develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, as well as develop funding, policies, and procedures for the operation and administration of the HMIS. SUMMARY OF CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS A copy of the public hearing notice is presented in Exhibit 2. A summary of citizen comments received at the public hearing and responses to these citizen comments are presented in Exhibit 2. MATCH Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) expenditures must be matched dollar for dollar. The City of Santa Ana requires that sub recipients of ESG funds provide documentation of matching resources. Match funds must equal or exceed the amount of grant funds requested. An annual report of matching funds is provided to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report.

The stage 2 ESG funds were combined with the 2012-2013 allocation to determine a funding plan for fiscal year 2012-2013. Therefore the proposed activities noted in this substantial amendment represent a portion of the City's overall plan to address the needs of the at-risk of homeless and homeless individuals and families. In formulating the funding plan the ad hoc committee reviewed the community need for the service, the capacity of the provider to deliver the service and the effective and efficient use of funds by the provider. DETAILED BUDGET FY 2011 Detailed Budget Table 3 is attached as Exhibit 4. WRITTEN STANDARDS FOR PROVISION OF ESG ASSISTANCE STANDARD POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATING INDIVIDUALS' AND FAMILIES' ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE UNDER ESG.

Periodic meetings will be held with the City and sub recipients to coordinate services. Additionally, sub recipients will be in communication with each other when an individual seeks service from two or more ESG funded sub recipients. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING AND PRIORITIZING WHICH ELIGIBLE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WILL RECEIVE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION ASSISTANCE AND WHICH ELIGIBLE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WILL RECEIVE RAPID RE-HOUSING ASSISTANCE. ALL PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS ARE ALREADY LITERALLY HOMELESS AND WILL ONLY BE USING RAPID REHOUSING ASSISTANCE. The City has provided funds to varying sub recipients, each with their own mission. Therefore each recipient will determine a priority based on the organization's mission. An overall priority will be given to those families and individuals that at the time of initial consultation demonstrate an ability to be self-sustaining. Due to the limited funds organizations will be taking additional efforts during the evaluation process to determine which families and individuals would require the least amount of resources in order to assist the greatest number of people possible. STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING THE SHARE OF RENT AND UTILITIES COSTS THAT EACH PROGRAM PARTICIPANT MUST PAY, IF ANY, WHILE RECEIVING HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION OR RAPID REHOUSING ASSISTANCE. Sub recipients will perform a gap analysis to determine what will be the initial assistance to the client. Additional assistance after that will be on a declining basis. Additionally, case-by-case analysis will be performed to determine if an adjustment to the assistance needs to be made. STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING HOW LONG A PARTICULAR PROGRAM PARTICIPANT WILL BE PROVIDED WITH RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND WHETHER AND HOW THE AMOUNT OF THAT ASSISTANCE WILL BE ADJUSTED OVER TIME. Due to the limited funds and the desire to assist the greatest number of people possible, the standard length of assistance will be three months with the goal to be self-sustaining afterwards. Although situations may arise where additional assistance may be required. In those instances the circumstances of each case will be reviewed to determine whether 03/15/2012 5 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2011-2012 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN EAb"b 2 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE I 2010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2011/12 ACTION PLAN additional assistance will be provided. The city and sub recipients will continue their effort to better describe circumstances that would allow for additional assistance. STANDARDS FOR DETERMINING THE TYPE, AMOUNT, AND DURATION OF HOUSING STABILIZATION AND/OR RELOCATION SERVICES TO PROVIDE A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, INCLUDING THE LIMITS, IF ANY, ON THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION OR RAPID RE-HOUSING ASSISTANCE THAT EACH PROGRAM PARTICIPANT MAY RECEIVE, SUCH AS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE, MAXIMUM NUMBER OF MONTHS THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS RECEIVES ASSISTANCE; OR THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF TIMES THE PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS MAY RECEIVE ASSISTANCE. Sub recipients will be allowed to provide the eligible ESG services in order to prevent homelessness or move an individual or family into permanent housing. As previously indicated, the standard amount of assistance will be based on the gap needed to be filled with ESG funds and the standard length of assistance will be three months. DESCRIBE PROCESS FOR MAKING SUB-AWARDS The City makes its allocation available to non-profit organizations through the issuance of a notice of funding availability. Any 501(c)(3) organization in good standing may submit a request for funding for an eligible ESG activity. These applications are then reviewed and evaluated by an ad hoc committee that makes recommendations for funding based on rating criteria. The recommendations are forward to the City Council of Santa Ana for final approval, amendment or rejection. HOMELESS PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT The City will consult with the CoC in making policies and decisions regarding the use of ESG funds. Through meeting and consulting with the CoC the City has determined that this requirement will be met, since the CoC has a strategy that includes participation of all 34 cities in Orange County, County Agencies, the County's homeless housing and service providers, and other community groups, including non-profits, local governmental agencies, faith-based organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless, interested business leaders, schools and other stakeholders to identify the gaps and unmet needs of the County's homeless PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The City of Santa Ana will use the outcome standards indicated in the City's 5-year Consolidated Plan as a preliminary performance standard.
