EXHIBIT 1 <br />Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service <br />agencies. 91.220(k); 91,3200) <br />As in past years, Santa Ana made an effort to leverage federal funds with local and state funds to increase <br />and preserve the City's supply of affordable rental housing. After the dissolution of Redevelopment <br />Agencies in California, obtaining affordable housing resources has become more challenging; however, <br />the City continues to seek resources that can be used to further affordable housing opportunities. Several <br />affordable housing projects are moving forward currently in the City and three projects for <br />individuals/veterans experiencing homelessness using HOME and CDBG funds are in the pipeline. These <br />are examples of how the City is coordinating with private developers and social service agencies to create <br />affordable housing opportunities in Santa Ana. <br />The City's owner -occupied housing rehabilitation pr( <br />units occupied by lower income households.
