These Annual Action Plans implement our jurisdiction's Five -Year Consolidated Plan and are developed through significant public input, analyses, and planning. This document is a Substantial Amendment to the City of Santa Ana's Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Annual Action Plan, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in May 2019. Title 24 Section 91.505 of the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that participating jurisdictions shall amend their approved plans whenever they make one of the following decisions: 1. To make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds; 2. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan (including program income) not previously described in the action plan; or 3. To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. The Regulation further requires that jurisdictions identify in their citizen participation plans the criteria they will use for determining what constitutes a substantial amendment. Consistent with these requirements, the Citizen Participation Plan 2020-2021 through 2024- 2025 adopted by the City of Santa Ana on September 17, 2019 as a component of its 2015/16- 2019/20 Consolidated Five Year Plan identifies criteria that will require a substantial amendment: • Addition of a new activity not previously identified in the Action Plan, without regard to funding source; • Cancellation of an existing activity identified in the Action Plan, without regard to funding source; • A change in the purpose, scope, location or beneficiaries of an activity; or • Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another eligible activity meeting the following thresholds: 12/2019 2 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2019-2020 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN 23A-8
