Ill. PROGRAMIPROJECT DESCRIPTION-DETAIL <br />In the space below, describe the program/project. Include information as to how the program/project will benefit <br />iow-income peopiemousenoias. (max. cnar. zuuu) <br />The Santa Ana Police Department recognizes that criminalization of homeless individuals is not the solution to this ever <br />growing problem. While enforcement is definitely needed to maintain public safety, cleanliness and order in the Civic <br />Center and surrounding area, It must be coupled with alternatives that will prevent the homeless person from having <br />continuous contact with the police. <br />Taking from HUD's Continuum of Care philosophy, the Santa Ana Police Department, and specifically the Civic Center <br />Detail, seeks to create a program that will identify and determine individual needs, partner with entities that provide <br />assistance to the homeless population, and then unite the two thereby providing a viable option for the homeless. The <br />ultimate goal will be to provide a measureable program with its sight set on self-sufficiency for those desiring to escape <br />homelessness. <br />The Santa Ana Police Department's Homeless Evaluation/Assessment Response Team (HEART) will achieve this goal. <br />This program will be established to provide long-term solutions beyond the short-term solutions offered through <br />enforcement of laws and ordinances. This will occur by: <br />• Identification of the homeless and understanding of individual needs <br />• Identifying entities that can provide resources <br />• Creating partnerships and providing referrals. <br />• Program maintenance and management <br />The Civic Center Detail Is best suited for implementation of this program for several reasons. The officers provide <br />service to this area seven days a week. The officers have been trained to treat each person with the respect and dignity <br />they deserve and as such have built a good rapport within the Civic Center. Furthermore, the officers have the <br />opportunity to contact the non-profit organizations that currently provide services to the homeless population. Lastly, <br />many relationships with outside entitles that can provide services already exist with the supervisors that oversee the <br />IV. STATEMENT OF NEED <br />in the space below, describe why this program/project is needed, Include information as to any effects if CDBG <br />tunas are not awarded and whether similar programs/projects are available in the community. (max. char. 200C <br />The intended outcome of the HEART Program will be to find solutions beyond overnight "shelter" type conditions for people <br />who caIl.the Civic Center home. This outcome will be based on two parts. Part one will be to identify those in need of long <br />term solutions AND are actually desirous of assistance. The second part of this solution will be to identify and partner with <br />entities that can assist in this goal and have not been previously identified.The targeted homeless subpoputations will <br />include: <br />• Elderly <br />• Families with children <br />• Chronically homeless <br />• Mentally Ill <br />• Alcohol and substance addicted <br />• Dually diagnosed (those that suffer both mental illness and substance abuse) <br />• Victim of domestic violence <br />• Homeless youth <br />• Veterans <br />• Pregnant homeless women over 18 <br />75B-28
