Description of Planning and Public Consultation Process: As described above, <br />the HIV Planning Council of Orange County Housing Committee and Santa Ana <br />staff is responsible for sustaining the planning and public participation process for <br />the use of HOPWA funds. The needs assessment and prioritization process was <br />utilized during the 2003 -2004 report period to allocate HOPWA funds for eligible <br />activities. This process ensured HOPWA funds met the needs of persons living with <br />HIV /AIDS that were not being met by other public and private resources. <br />In order to facilitate the needs assessment/prioritization process, the City of Santa <br />Ana commissioned a study by AIDS Housing of Washington (AHW) in 1999. AHW <br />is a Seattle based nonprofit agency that developed similar studies nationwide. The <br />HIV /AIDS Housing Study was completed in December 1999 and has been updated <br />42 <br />19E-45 <br />9/9/04 <br />
