Santa Ana was allocated $2,831,989 under the terms of the funding <br /> distribution formula established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development <br /> (HUD) for these programs, which are titled Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing <br /> (HPRP). <br /> <br /> On September 8, 2009, City Council authorized the execution of agreements with nine local <br /> HPRP non-profit sub-recipients to carry out HPRP services. On September 7, 2010, after one <br /> year of operation, City Council authorized amendments with three sub-recipients to transfer funds <br /> between programs and to expand HPRP services to better meet the needs of the community. On <br /> January 3, 2011, and again on August 24, 2011, City Council authorized the execution of <br /> amendments with sub-recipients to meet the HPRP program expenditure requirements. <br /> <br /> <br /> 25C-1 <br />
