These programs include Community Development Block <br />Grant (CDGB) HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME), Emergency Shelter <br />Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). <br />These funds provide for affordable and supportive housing, community <br />development programs, social services and economic opportunities. <br />According to program requirements, since Santa Ana is the most populous <br />city in the County, HOPWA funds are provided to the City for use <br />throughout the County to address housing and supportive services for <br />persons with HIV/AIDS. <br />Prior to 1995, each of these programs required separate application and <br />reporting procedures. Beginning in 1995, HUD required the submission of <br />the Consolidated Plan, which is a five-year comprehensive planning <br />document and application.
