Guy <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br /> CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />COMPREHENSIVE HOMELESS ASSISTANCE PLAN <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana recognizes the need to assist the homeless <br />within the Santa Aha community. Estimates place the number of <br />"homeless" individuals (as defined by the Stewart B. McKinney <br />Homeless Assistance Act) in Orange County in excess of 6,000. <br />Since Santa Aha is the county seat, a substantial portion of <br />these individuals will, from one time or another, utilize the <br />assistance provided by area agencies. The facilities and <br />services available to the homeless population in the City cover <br />a broad range of assistance programs including temporary <br />emergency shelter, food and food vouchers, medical care, <br />clothing, hot showers, information/referrals for companion <br />living opportunities, and job training and counseling. Service <br />providers have expressed a need for public funds to augment <br />private donations in order to maintain and enhance current <br />levels of service. Grants made available through the program <br />provisions of the McKinney Act will allow the City of Santa Aha <br />to insure a source of financial assistance to nonprofit agencies <br />which currently provide services for the homeless. <br /> <br />CYNTHIA J.
