COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting on June 4, 2014, by a vote of 6:0, the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission recommended the actions stated above.
DISCUSSION
Since, 1993, the City of Santa Ana has received federal funds through the U. S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA) Program. These funds were previously allocated to the City of Santa Ana as the most
populous city in the county to use throughout the County of Orange. This fiscal year the City of
Anaheim has been awarded the HOPWA funds as they are now the most populous city in Orange
County. Due to the late notification and to ensure continuity of services for the upcoming year, the
City of Santa Ana will contract with the City of Anaheim as an administrative agent to operate the
HOPWA funds. Anaheim will provide $41,094 to Santa Ana for program administration.
Eligible activities for the HOPWA program include: 1) new construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of affordable housing; 2) provision of tenant-based rental assistance; 3) short-term
rental and mortgage payment assistance to prevent homelessness; 4) supportive social services
and housing information services; 5) technical assistance; and 6) administrative expenses incurred
by jurisdictions coordinating local programs. In allocating grant funds for eligible activities, the City
of Santa Ana was required to consider the service needs of eligible persons who reside throughout
Orange County and approve funding for projects which may be located anywhere within the
county.
In order to ensure that the limited funds were prioritized, staff worked closely with the Housing
Committee of the Orange County HIV Planning Council, the HIV Planning Council, and agencies
throughout the County of Orange to provide services to the HIV/AIDS community. On January 6,
2014, a strategic planning meeting was held to determine priorities for the Fiscal Year 2014-2015
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.
Based on the strategic planning meeting, funding recommendations were established. The
recommended funding levels are: 1) $600,000 to continue the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance
Program with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa who will subcontract with AIDS Services
Foundation Orange County to administer the wait list; 2) $890,372 to the Orange County Health
