<br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />2006-2007 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN <br /> <br />Actions to Address Identified Impediments <br />The following actions have been identified in the regional AI and the City of Santa <br />Ana as actions to be taken to address identified impediments to fair housing. <br />. Fair housing services will be provided at an effective and responsive level. The <br />Fair Housing Council of Orange County submitted a proposal to the City to <br />provide fair housing services for 1,750 Santa Ana resident households. <br />. The City will utilize existing referral and advocacy resources such as the FHCOC, <br />Orange County Human Relations Commission, and the Legal Aid Society of <br />Orange County, to investigate, address, and refer complaints of unfair or <br />predatory lending practices. <br />. Appropriate City personnel will be enrolled in applicable educational courses to <br />ensure the most comprehensive fair housing service possible. Housing <br />Authority, code enforcement and other "housing" related staff will be the primary <br />recipients of this training. <br />. A similar course of action will be taken by the City to address complaints of <br />insurance redlining, i.e., the City will utilize existing referral and advocacy <br />resources such as the FHCOC, Orange County Human Relations Commission, <br />and the County District Attorney to investigate and address complaints. <br />. As a partner in the preparation of the regional AI, the City provided the Fair <br />Housing Council of Orange County with information regarding current policies <br />that may have an impact on housing development. The City will continue to <br />review the recommendations of the regional AI and consider modifications to <br />present policies that may have a nexus limiting fair housing choice. <br /> <br />STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION <br />HUD requires that the City reevaluate how the additional strategies outlined in the <br />Strategic Plan will be addressed during the Program Year. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br />4/20/06 <br /> <br />190-26 <br />
