rehabilitation. In a local non-profit focused consultation session, participants indicated that housing <br />rehabilitation was the second highest housing service needs in the community. <br />Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP <br />Hazards <br />Lead -based paint and varnishes were used in housing until 1978 and are still assumed to be present in the <br />home unless the house has been fully remediated by a certified contractor. Children age 6 and younger <br />are at the highest risk for physical and mental damage from lead poisoning. Within Santa Ana, more than <br />60,000 housing units were constructed before 1980 (used as a proxy for 1978), accounting for 87% of the <br />ownership housing stock and 76%of the rental stock. However, when evaluating the number of units with <br />children aged 6 or younger, only an estimated 5,990 units are occupied by such households. According to <br />the Needs Assessment, there are 23,340 households in Santa Ana with children age 6 and younger. Thus, <br />26%of households with young children are assumed to live in housing units that may contain lead -based <br />paint. <br />75% of all families with young children have incomes between 0-80% AML While the share of low- and <br />moderate -income households is more likely to be in older housing stock in need of rehabilitation, even <br />conservatively applying this share of 75% to the total number of units built before 1980 with young <br />children present (5,990), we can estimate that 4,493 households are potentially at risk of living with lead - <br />based paint hazards. <br />However, it is important to note that this data does not necessarily reflect households in which young <br />children visit frequently such as grandparents, informal day care centers, or other family members and <br />friends and thus the risk is likely even greater. <br />Consolidated Plan SANTA ANA 90 <br />OMB control No: 2506-0117(exp. 06/30/2018) 75A-98 <br />
