Program Evaluation This chapter describes progress in meeting objectives set forth during the 2006- 2014 Housing Element planning period which, in combination with the public outreach appendix, summarizes new initiatives proposed. OVERVIEW State law requires that housing elements contain an evaluation of current housing programs and their success in meeting the objectives set forth in the 2006 -2014 Housing Element. The purpose is to provide a sound basis for the development of new or modified housing programs for the present housing element that will better address the community's housing needs. The 2006 -2014 Housing Element set forth a housing vision, four goals, and supporting policies to guide actions with respect to housing: • Promote livable neighborhoods through quality housing conditions, quality parks and community services, and well- maintained infrastructure that inspire neighborhood pride. • Provide a diversity of quality housing, affordability levels, and living experiences that accommodate Santa Ana's residents and workforce of all household types, income levels, and age groups to foster an inclusive community. ■ Increase opportunities for low and moderate income individuals and families to find quality housing, including move -up opportunities, and afford a greater choice of rental or homeownership opportunities. ■ Provide adequate rental and homeownership housing opportunities and supportive services suitable for seniors, people with disabilities, families with children, and people needing emergency, transitional, or supportive housing. This appendix contains a concise description of progress toward each goal and the appropriateness of programs for the 2014 -2021 Housing Element. More detailed information can be found in the City's annual housing reports prepared for HCD, HUD, and other reporting entities. CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT D -1
