B. Matching Resources <br />Program regulations require that the City <br />match ESG expenditures dollar for dollar. <br />Subrecipients receiving Santa Ana's ESG funds <br />are informed of this match requirement <br />during the application process and are <br />required to identify the amount and sources <br />of matching funds. During the course of the <br />year, a certification and copies of checks, <br />award letters, etc. that document match <br />funds is required by the City. Table 17 <br />summarizes the source and amount of ESG <br />matching funds provided by Subrecipients <br />during the 2008-2009 report period. <br />TAB~i:17 -ESG MATCH <br />~~: ~~• <br />Other Federal Funds <br />$20,245 <br />Local Government $0 <br />Private Funds $211,825 <br />Fees $0 <br />State Government $74,500 <br />Other $0 <br />TOTAL $306,570 <br />C. Activity and Beneficiary Data <br />Emergency Shelter Grant Program Performance reports show ESG expenditures by type of <br />activity, expenditure rate and number of persons assisted (EXHIBIT 11 and 12). ESG recipients are <br />required to provide quarterly accomplishment reports which contain all HUD required data for <br />IDIS reporting. Over the past two years the City has substantially revised ESG report forms in an <br />effort to capture required data more efficiently. Presently there are no significant problems in <br />collecting, reporting, or evaluating the information reported~iy Subrecipients. The reliability of <br />data is reviewed during annual an-site monitoring visits. <br />D. Homeless Discharge Coordination <br />The City has certified to HUD that it will undertake efforts to develop and implement a <br />homeless discharge plan. HUD has stated that as part of the City developing and implementing <br />a homeless discharge coordination policy it may use ESG homeless prevention funds to assist <br />Very Low-Income individuals and families at risk of becoming homeless after being released <br />from publicly funded institutions such as health care facilities, foster care or other youth <br />facilities, or corrections institutions or programs. <br />On a regional basis, the County's Housing and Community Services Department has taken the <br />lead in developing and implementing a discharge plan for the entire county and has solicited <br />the assistance of cities such as Santa Ana. As this plan evolves, the City will explore various <br />options in programming that ensures the needs of Santa Ana's residents are met while also <br />addressing regional planning efforts. At the present time ESG homelessness prevention funds <br />are not being utilized in support of a discharge plan. <br />62 Draft 8/10/2009 <br />19F-68 <br />
