Like communities throughout the nation, the current economic climate continues to present <br />serious budget challenges to Santa Ana. These challenges include an increased demand for a <br />variety of municipal services, the redirection of local revenues to the state, and an overall decline <br />in various tax revenues. <br />To address these challenges, the City has made the difficult decision to limit the amount of CDBG <br />funds available for nonprofits for the 2010 -2011 Fiscal Year to City- managed programs. <br />Therefore, request proposals for public services were not requested from the non - profit community. <br />The proposed fiscal year 2010 -2011 CDBG progra <br />funding recommendations for the program.
