FY 2023-24 ESG Funding Plan - Program Summaries <br />Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Rehousing <br />Homeless <br />Prevention (Eviction <br />Prevention) <br />Illumination <br />Foundation $25,000 <br />Illumination Foundation will provide homeless prevention assistance to families residing in Santa Ana who are in <br />jeopardy of losing housing. The funds will be used to provide rental assistance for families and individuals to <br />maintain their current housing without the risk of becoming homeless. Funding allocations will include rental arrears <br />and security deposit assistance (provide a one-time deposit assistance payment). In addition, clients will <br />receive assistance with application fees, security deposit assistance if necessary, first and last month's rent and <br />move-in costs if residents need to be relocated. The Illumination Foundation Homeless Prevention Program will help <br />the Santa Ana community reduce the size of the homeless population by providing assistance and case <br />management services that can aid families in preserving their independence. <br />Rapid Rehousing <br />(short term and long <br />term rental <br />assistance/security <br />deposits) <br />Illumination <br />Foundation $75,000 <br />Provide flexible and individualized financial assistance that supports Santa Ana residents on a progressive path <br />toward permanent housing and stability. The amount and duration of rental assistance will be determined based on <br />each client's unique financial situation. As a general guideline, Illumination Foundation will provide 100% <br />rental assistance when clients first enroll in the program, allowing them to stabilize their finances, save, and plan. <br />Over the course of six months, the amount of rental assistance will be scaled back incrementally—70%, 50%, and <br />30% of the total rent due. <br />Rapid Rehousing for <br />unaccompanied <br />homeless women <br />WISEPlace $50,000 <br />WISEPlace provides shelter, food, trauma-informed care and related services to unaccompanied homeless women. <br />Our shelter, case management, employment assistance and financial empowerment serves women from age 18 to <br />65 and older.
