Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of <br />homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with <br />children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness <br />Orange County's homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith - <br />based, for -profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to <br />provide services and facilities for homeless people. The region's municipalities, including the City of Santa <br />Ana, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at -risk of becoming homeless. <br />Non-profit service and facility providers play a critical role in the current CoC system and in addressing <br />homeless needs within Santa Ana. These organizations provide a range of services throughout the County <br />ranging from job training to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are <br />available to homeless individuals and households. <br />The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end <br />homelessness throughout the region. In conducting the City's Needs Assessment, Santa Ana carefully <br />reviewed the CoC's current strategy and planning documents to ensure coordination in goals and <br />objectives. Additionally, the City provided a questionnaire to the CoC as well as key service providers <br />operating in Santa Ana to identify the CoC's perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address <br />the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and <br />individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. <br />The City will continue to actively work with the CoC as well as its partners throughout the County to <br />coordinate on the planning and implementation of homeless services and programming. <br />Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in <br />determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate <br />outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS <br />In the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Santa Ana consulted with numerous housing, <br />social service, and homeless service providers whose work intersects with the goal of reducing and ending <br />homelessness in Orange County and/ or Santa Ana.
