U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASHINGTON, DC 20410-5000 OFFICE OF PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA 20 CIVIC CENTER PLAZA SANTA ANA, CA 92701 Dear Executive Director: September 23, 2022 This is your final award notification for Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program vouchers under the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022 (P.L. 117-103). Based on vouchers that were declined by other housing agencies, the number of vouchers may have increased minimally. Please contact us at NewHCVS@hud.gov no later than seven calendar days following the date of this letter if you do not want to accept the additional vouchers. Judson Brown Executive Director The Consolidated Appropriations Act 2022 (P.L. 117-103) appropriated $200 million for new incremental vouchers pursuant to a method, as determined by HUD, which may include a formula that may include such factors as severe cost burden, overcrowding, substandard housing for very low- income renters, homelessness, and administrative capacity. The allocation method is required to include rural and urban areas. These vouchers will increase the authorized vouchers for your PHA, and fees can be used to expedite the leasing of these vouchers. PHAs seeking to use administrative fees to encourage owner participation and leasing of these vouchers, are encouraged to consult PIH Notice 2022-18. These vouchers will provide housing assistance to approximately 19,300 individuals and/or families eligible under the HCV Program; however, the Act further provides HUD with the discretion to specify additional terms and conditions for the use of these vouchers to ensure that PHAs provide vouchers for use by survivors of domestic violence, or individuals and families who are homeless, as defined in section 103(a) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11302(a)), or at risk of homelessness, as defined in section 401(1) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 11360(1)).
