Description of Work - In the space below, describe the program to be funded during the 12-month contract period. What specific activities will be undertaken during the contract period. Please be concise in your response. Only the viewable space will print. Achieving our program goals and objectives will help decrease occurrences of housing discrimination and other housing law violation in Santa Ana. Individuals will have greater fair housing choice and be able to more fully enjoy their housing rights and fulfill their housing obligations. Neighborhoods might benefit from improved ethnic diversity and a lessening of tensions due to inter-group conflict. Neighborhoods will also benefit from improved compliance with housing rights and obligations that lead to improved quality of the housing stock and a better living environment generally. Also, due to the self-help nature of many aspects of our counseling, individuals and neighborhoods benefit from the self-empowerment that comes from participating in resolving their problems. The community as a whole will benefit through the meeting of "affirmatively furthering fair housing" requirements for continued CDBG eligibility. To date, we've passed all HUD fair housing program audits. HUD's fair housing monitoring focus has changed in the last few years. They're requiring that each entitlement jurisdiction, like the City of Santa Ana, engage in specific Actions as outlined in the jurisdiction's Fair Housing Plan. This agency has played a key role in drafting a "Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice," (AI) and assisting with the corresponding Fair Housing Plan, which includes Actions to counteract impediments identified in the AI. By achieving our program objectives we will help ensure Santa Ana's continued eligibility for funds tied to the furtherance of fair housing choice within the recipients jurisdiction. CDBG funds will be used to respond to as many Santa Ana housing discrimination allegations as possible and help counteract impediments to fair housing. The program goes beyond monitoring discrimination. We assist poSSible victims of housing discrimination to redress the harm they and the community have suffered. Funds will also provide services that address general housing law violations. We help tenants' and landlords' correct wrongful housing policies and practices, thus improving target areas. Santa Ana's share of fair housing services, or its "service demand rate", will be about 13.09% of the services provided by the agency's entire countywide program. These services will impact and benefit target CDBG areas and assist extremely-low to moderate income people. We expect to conduct over 70 community education presentations or events countywide, of which at least 8 will be in Santa Ana. About 1,200 information packets will be distributed to Santa Ana residents to further enhance our service. We'll generate public service announcements and media coverage aimed at reducing violations of housing law. We will help resolve about 80% of the housing disputes handled, and provide referrals in those we don't help resolve.
