Public Hearing — 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing May 5, 2020 Page 2 December 2019. To develop the Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, staff worked with a consortium of other cities across Orange County who entered into a contract with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law to complete this analysis for Orange County. All three planning documents are described in detail below. 2020-2024 Five -Year Consolidated Plan The 2020-2024 Five -Year Consolidated Plan is the City of Santa Ana's Strategic Plan for the investment of annual allocations of CDBG, HOME and ESG funds from HUD during the five year period covered by the Consolidated Plan beginning July 1, 2020 and ending June 30, 2025. The Five -Year Consolidated Plan (Plan) outlines the overall strategy that the City intends to carry out over the next five years and identifies the objectives and outcomes to be accomplished with that strategy. In consideration of finite grant resources, the Strategic Plan within the Consolidated Plan outlines the areas and population segments with the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and intends to invest grant resources in high leverage opportunities where data suggests that the City will be able to maximize the impact of every dollar. The Strategic Plan identifies the City's priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period covered by the Consolidated Plan through activities to be implemented as part of the five Annual Action Plans using CDBG, HOME, and ESG Program funds. The Consolidated Plan also contains a Needs Assessment and Market Analysis that provide insight into the different levels of need in the community and the market in which grant -funded programs will be implemented. The Needs Assessment incorporates national data from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates and the 2011-2015 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy data, in addition to HUD program, State of California, and local/ regional data sets. Based on the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis, the Strategic Plan identifies six high priority needs to be addressed using the City's CDBG, HOME and ESG Program funds. The six priority needs for the City includes: • Expand the supply of affordable housing • Preserve the supply of affordable housing • Access to and supply of public services • Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities • Promote economic opportunity • Improve City public facilities and infrastructure The City of Santa Ana anticipates that it will continue to receive CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding during the duration of this Consolidated Plan cycle. When accounting for program income and prior year resources, the City anticipates that it will have the following funding to target to its strategic goals and priorities over the next five years: • CDBG: $30,123,118 • HOME: $ 9,093,495 • ESG: $ 2,504,870 The summary of goals for 2020-2024 to be achieved through the Strategic Plan is provided in the following table: 75A-2
