Provide the projected number of project-based units and general locations, and describe how project-basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SAHA) plans to: 1) Enter into an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for three (3) project-based vouchers in a 17-unit new construction project called FX Residences. FX Residences involves the new construction of an affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of 16 units of permanent supportive housing, and one (1) manager’s unit. The location of the project is at 801, 809, 809 ½ East Santa Ana Boulevard. 2) Enter into an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for seven (7) project-based vouchers in a 86-unit new construction project called Crossroads at Washington. The Crossroads at Washington project involves the new construction of a 100% affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of 85 units of rental housing and one (1) manager’s unit. All units will be affordable to households earning less than 30% AMI of which 43 units will be set-aside for permanent supportive housing. The location of the project is at 1126 and 1146 E. Washington Ave. 3) Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for eighty-nine (89) project-based vouchers in a 89-unit motel rehabilitation project called North Harbor Village. The North Harbor Village project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of a former motel yielding 89 units of permanent supportive housing. The project will have eight-nine (89) PBVs consisting of 34 HUD-VASH PBVs and 55 non HUD-VASH PBVs. The location of the project is at 1108 N. Harbor Blvd. 4) Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for eight (8) project-based vouchers in a 93-unit new construction project called Legacy Square. The Legacy Project involves the new construction of a 100% affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of 92 units of rental housing and one (1) manager’s unit. All units will be affordable to households earning less than 60% AMI of which 33 units will be set-aside for permanent supportive housing. The location of the project is at 609 North Spurgeon Street. 5) Commit 25 project-based vouchers to one or more projects for the development of new affordable housing opportunities. The projects above are consistent with the PHA Plan because each project will the most vulnerable members of the community with affordable and permanent supportive housing opportunities. Relative to issuing tenant-based vouchers, project-basing vouchers allows vulnerable families at 30% AMI or people experiencing homelessness to move into a unit directly instead of searching and competing for a unit in the private market. It is more efficient and effective to serve extremely low-income families and people experiencing homelessness through project-basing because: 1) the family does not have to compete in the private market for a limited number of vacant units; 2) wrap-around supportive services are provided on-site for people experiencing homelessness with an economy of scale for on-site service providers; and 3) new affordable housing opportunities are created when project-based vouchers are leveraged with other sources of financing.
