The source of funding for this <br />agreement includes fiscal year 2018/19 and 2019/20 Inclusionary Housing Funds. City Council <br />also directed staff to evaluate methods to replenish these funds. The efforts made thus far to <br />replenish the Inclusionary Housing Fund include: <br />The City submitted an application to the Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC), as the <br />designated Fiscal Agent for the County of Orange Homeless Emergency Aid Program <br />(HEAP) funds to receive $3 million to replenish the Inclusionary Housing Funds used for <br />capital improvements and emergency shelter services at the Link, Santa Ana's Interim <br />Homeless Shelter. HEAP was authorized by Senate Bill 850, which was signed into law by <br />Governor Brown in June 2018, to provide one-time funding to Continuum of Care (CoCs) <br />and Large Cities with populations over 330,000 for immediate emergency assistance to <br />people experiencing homelessness. Although the City was awarded $3,690,885.84 in <br />HEAP funding as one of the Big 11 Cities, these funds were designated by City Council for <br />the permanent shelter site. Therefore, the City submitted an application to the CoC for $3 <br />million specifically to replenish the Inclusionary Housing Funds used for the Interim Shelter <br />at the Link. The CoC did not fund the City's request. <br />19G-1 <br />
