The City will work to create partnerships with culturally specific service providers for the <br />purpose of arriving at strategies to end homelessness. Other improvements that the City <br />will take to remove barriers will include: a) the creation of on -site workforce <br />development services at the Navigation Center and creation of a job program in the <br />commercial kitchen at the Navigation Center. These programs will help those <br />individuals who are uncomfortable or incapable of going to an off -site facility. Workforce <br />staff speak various languages be accommodate individuals in need; b) the creation of <br />literature in more than one language and c) offer cultural/religious meal choices at the <br />Navigation Center. <br />The HMIS system, overseen by the County is only as good as the data that is input. The <br />City will ensure that all recipients of City homeless services funding participate in this <br />system. The City is interested in predictive analysis and looking at what <br />prevention/prediction data tools could be designed to identify who may fall out of <br />housing and/or who may need extra help. <br />Santa Ana will continue to build regional coordination and a unified regional response to <br />reduce and end homelessness. Decisions will follow a best -practices framework <br />focused on moving homeless individuals and families into permanent housing and <br />supporting the efforts of those individuals and families to maintain their permanent <br />housing. <br />As identified in the funding table, the City of Santa Ana utilizes a variety of funding from <br />various sources pooled together to provide housing, and homeless services. <br />11 <br />
