In allocating grant funds for eligible activities, the City of Santa Ana is required to consider the service needs of eligible persons who reside throughout Orange County and approve funding for projects which may be located anywhere within the County. In order to ensure that the limited funds are prioritized, City staff has worked closely with the Housing Committee of the Orange County HIV Planning Council, the HIV Planning Council, and agencies throughout the County of Orange providing services to the HIV/AIDS community. On December 5, 2011, a strategic planning meeting was held to determine priorities for the fiscal year 2012-2013 funds. Representatives from the Orange County Health Care Agency, service providers from throughout the county, HIV/AIDS infected and affected individuals and City staff participated in the meeting. Based on the strategic planning meeting, the 2012-2013 fiscal year funding recommendations were established. The recommended funding levels are: 1) $600,000 to continue the Tenant- Based Rental Assistance Program with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa who will subcontract with AIDS Services Foundation Orange County to administer the wait list; 2) $902,159 to the Orange County Health Care Agency for supportive housing services to individuals throughout Orange County; and 3) $46,459 for administrative costs.
