<br />Status of Program Implementation
<br />In 2022, the City managed an Agreement with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County to implement the City's Residential Rehabilitation Grant Program.
<br />Through this agreement, the City provided grants of up to $25,000 to 23 households for the repair and rehabilitation of single-family and mobile homes,
<br />prioritizing applicants in RIECAP and TCAC census tracts, seniors (62 years and older), disabled residents, and low-income households.
<br />An annual workshop is planned to be held during fiscal year (FY) 2023-2024 to promote rehabilitation grants and available housing
<br />programs/opportunities to all owner occupied single-family and mobile home residents in the City.
<br />In 2022, the City provided financial assistance to support the acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction of properties to preserve and increase
<br />affordable housing opportunities for lower income households. Specifically, as of the end of 2022, the City had five affordable housing projects under
<br />construction, and two affordable housing projects in pre -development. Each project was made possible through the financial assistance provided by the
<br />City.
<br />In 2022, the City awarded funds following the issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of affordable housing in 2021. Specifically,
<br />Dn December 7, 2021, the City Council authorized the Community Development Agency (CDA) to release a FY 2021-2022 Request for Proposals (RFP
<br />No. 21-136) to develop affordable rental and ownership project(s) in the City of Santa Ana with available funds from the Inclusionary Housing Fund,
<br />HOME Investment Partnerships ("HOME") Program, HOME -American Rescue Plan ("HOME -ARP") Program, Project -Based Voucher Program, and the
<br />Neighborhood Stabilization Program fund. The RFP also included one land asset owned by the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana.
<br />The Neighborhood Initiatives and Environmental Services Division (NIES) continues to provide coordination, resource outreach, community engagement
<br />to support TCAC Opportunity areas, especially neighborhoods in areas that have a concentration of high segregation, poverty and low-resourced
<br />communities. Staff continues to work with neighborhood association leaders to re -activate and convene meetings in person with residents from the
<br />Santa Ana Triangle, French Court, French Park, Central City, Bella Vista, Downtown, Willard, Lacy, Heninger Park, Pacific Park, and Cornerstone
<br />Village. Three new park sites are planned for these areas — Raitt / Myrtle, Standard/McFadden, and Willard. Several of these neighborhoods have funds
<br />available to identify community improvement projects and work with City staff and Charitable Ventures of Orange County as a fiscal sponsor to process
<br />project funds equitably. City staff have also conducted several trainings to assist these neighborhoods in reviewing the City's program planning
<br />opportunities to further assist neighborhoods to use programmatic funding toward community identity and other outreach improvements in the respective
<br />neighborhoods.
