Annual Action Plan 2023 1 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. ) Executive Summary AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The 2023-24 Action Plan is the City of Santa Ana’s Annual Plan for the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Fiscal Year 2023-24 Action Plan (Action Plan) represents the third year of the City of Santa Ana Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) for the Fiscal Years 2020-2024 (Con Plan) as ratified by the City Council and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grant programs are consistent with HUD’s national strategy to provide decent housing opportunities, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities—particularly for low- and moderate-income people. In consideration of finite grant resources, the goals and projects within this Action Plan outline 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 Action Plan utilizes the priority needs identified in the 2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan process, which identified the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period. HUD has not yet announced the FY2023 allocations and the budgets listed in this Annual Action Plan are estimates based on the FY2022 allocation. The City of Santa Ana will proportionally adjust each project allocation in accordance with the final allocation announcements from HUD. 2.
