FEDERAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS <br />There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non - federal <br />program resources. The HOME program does require that for every HOME dollar spent, the <br />City must provide a 25% match with non - federal dollars; however, under certain <br />circumstances, HUD will waive or reduce the match requirement. On November 5, 2010, <br />the City was notified by HUD that for the 2010 -2011 Program Year, the City's HOME match <br />requirement has been reduced to 0% because the City's "family poverty rate" is 125% or <br />more of the average national poverty rate, the jurisdiction qualifies as distressed based on <br />the family poverty rate criterion, and the City's per capita income is less than 75% of the <br />national average. To date HUD has not indicated that the City will receive this waiver for <br />the 2011 -2012 Program Year. <br />Even though Santa Ana is not required to provide HOME matching funds, the City will <br />continue to implement its current strategy to match HOME funds by undertaking projects <br />that blend local and private resources with HOME funds. HUD allows the City to use various <br />resources to meet this match requirement including: <br />■ Cash ' Value of waived taxes, fees or charges <br />■ Value of donated land 0 Value of donated materials and /or labor <br />Based on past actions, HOME match resources will include the value of donated land and <br />value of donated labor and materials, and /or direct subsidies with non - federal funds. As <br />required, the City currently maintains a log of current match sources including a balance of <br />excess match. <br />The Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) program also has a match requirement. The City must <br />match ESG expenditures dollar for dollar. The City of Santa Ana requires that subrecipients <br />of ESG funds provide documentation of matching resources. An annual report of matching <br />funds is provided to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation <br />Report. <br />ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN <br />An outline of activities the City of Santa Ana will undertake during the 2011 -2012 Program <br />Year is provided in TABLE 2.
