Financial and Administrative Resources The Housing Element will discuss the major sources of local, state, and federal financial resources available to address Santa Ana's housing needs. The Housing Element is also reQuired to document the administrative resources that can help the City address its housing needs. The Housing Element will provide an inventory of financial and administrative resources available for developing, rehabilitating, and preserving affordable housing units in the City of Santa Ana. Although housing elements often have exhaustive lists of founding sources and administrative organizations, this type of detail is not necessary to have a certified housing element. Thus in drafting this section, the goal of this section is not to indicate all sources of funding and administrative capacity, but rather to provide a snapshot of key resources that the City provides to administer their housing programs. 1.4 Housing Plan We understand that the Santa Ana City Council is committed to developing realistic housing strategies to help address the community's current and future housing needs. Our team is well versed in how to strategically evaluate housing programs and craft responsive plans, far beyond the depth of ana�sis in most housing elements. We propose to evaluate the current progress of housing programs, refine the current menu of policies in the Housing Element, and develop a Housing Plan in concert with discussions and direction from City staff. Program Evaluation A thorough and well -documented evaluation of current housing programs is the key to understanding program strengths, the gaps in meeting current or future housing needs, and the need to modify or add housing programs to address the city's existing or future housing needs. We therefore believe that a solid evaluation of the City's housing programs is essential to drafting a meaningful housing element. Housing Element Update THE PLANNING CENTER I Page 2-9
