HA RESOLUTION NO. 2012-001 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING <br />AUTHORITY OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />APPROVING THE ANNUAL PLAN AND <br />REVISION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN <br />FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012-2013 <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY <br />OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS: <br />Section 1. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana conclusively finds, determines <br />and declares as follows: <br />A. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (the "Authority") is required <br />by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") to have an Annual <br />Plan due to the fact that the Authority administers a Housing Choice Voucher ("HCV") <br />Rental Assistance Program. <br />B. The purpose of the Authority's Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program <br />participants and members of the public of its policies and procedures to serve the needs of <br />very low-income families. <br />C. The purpose of the Authority's Administrative Plan is to describe the <br />Authority's policies and procedures to implement the HCV program in Santa Ana. <br />D. The Annual Plan provides information about the current operations of <br />the Authority including programs, participants, services for the upcoming year, and any <br />operational or tenant concerns. In January 2012, the Authority sent a customer service <br />survey to 1820 Santa Ana program participants. The survey was sent in English, Spanish <br />and Vietnamese. Over 700 responses to the survey were received and the results will be <br />submitted to HUD as part of the Annual Plan. <br />E. The Administrative Plan serves as supporting documentation for the Annual <br />Plan. The Authority's Administrative Plan was last adopted in January 2011. The <br />Administrative Plan must be revised to ensure compliance with regulatory changes made <br />by HUD and policy and procedure changes proposed by the Authority. Procedural <br />changes to streamline waiting list maintenance were made in preparation of opening the <br />waiting list. The changes regarding the waiting list include the following: removal of the <br />local preference for Santa Ana mobile home coach owners; removal of the local <br />preference for Victims of Domestic Violence; adding availability of on-line application <br />submission; and, at Authority's discretion, the use of a lottery system and limiting the <br />number of people on the waiting list to an amount that can be served in 2-3 years. <br />HA Resolution 2012-001 <br />Page 1 of 3
