For SEMAP Indicator # 5, SAHA sampled an equitable amount of housing inspections per Housing Inspector as sampled and reviewed for SEMAP Indicator # 3. This sampling was conducted on a monthly basis. This increase in the number of sampled files exceeds HUD’s minimum requirements under SEMAP and seeks to improve the quality, integrity and accuracy of SAHA’s casework and inspections. o Utilized 99.6% of our Budget Authority from HUD for CY 2017.  For FY 2019, SAHA: o Certified as a High Performer for FFY 2018. SAHA audited a total of 420 files under SEMAP Indicator # 3, even though the minimum sample size required by HUD was only 34 files.

For SEMAP Indicator # 5, SAHA audited a total of 84 inspections even though the minimum sample size required by HUD was only 33 quality control inspections. o Utilized 95.5% of our Annual Budget Authority from HUD for CY 2019. This was due to the large increase in HAP funding from the HUD-VASH vouchers that SAHA received, but was unable to utilize due to a low number of referrals from the VAMC of Long Beach.

Goal # 4: Promote self-sufficiency by increasing employment among participants, linking to supportive services to increase independence for the elderly and/or disabled, and increase participation in the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program.  For FY 2016, SAHA: o Continued to provide referrals to the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center for job training and placement services, providing information and linkages to the County’s Council on Aging (elderly services) and the Dayle McIntosh Center (disabled services), and conducted recruitment for the FSS program at initial voucher issuance, at annual re-examinations, and through tenant newsletters: SAHA increased the number of participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program and qualified for a second full-time FSS Coordinator position effective January 2016.  For FY 2017, SAHA: o Hired a full-time Workforce Specialist I / FSS Coordinator effective January 4, 2017.
