CITY OF SANTA ANA 2008-2009 ANNUAL ACT/ON PLAN HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS HOPWA funds for Program Year 2008-2009 will be utilized to undertake eligible activities to meet the needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS that presently are not met by other public and private resources. To identify program gaps, a countywide survey to assess the needs for the region's HIV/AIDS population was conducted during the 2004-2005 Program Year. This survey was acommunity-based planning effort that incorporated the input of interested community members including individuals living with HIV/AIDS, representatives of HIV/AIDS service and housing organizations, housing developers, representatives of local government agencies, advocates, and others. Relevant planning, housing, homelessness, and epidemiological data were reviewed and incorporated into the planning effort. Critical issues and service gaps were identified and an advisory committee developed recommendations. These findings have been used by the Housing Committee of the Orange County HIV Planning Council to develop a list of activities for HOPWA funding during FY 2008-2009, as well as the expenditure of over $5 million in Ryan White resources that are expected to be available during the program year. The specific activities to be undertaken in program year 2008-2009 will be to provide supportive services and tenant-based rental assistance. Funds reprogrammed from prior years will be focus on the development of new housing opportunities for individuals living with AIDS. To better measure the intended outcomes of HOPWA- funded activities, HUD has implemented a comprehensive reporting document. The City will work with its subrecipients to ensure all required data is captured and reported. As required by HUD, the following information is provided regarding HOPWA-funded activities for the 2008-2009 Program Year: 37 air sloe 19E-49
