2010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN <br />2014/15 <br />ACTION PLAN <br />FEDERAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS <br />There is no federal requirement for the City to match CDBG funds with other non - federal <br />program resources. The HOME program does require that for every HOME dollar spent, the <br />City must provide a 25% match with non - federal dollars; however, under certain <br />circumstances, HUD will waive or reduce the match requirement. As of November 19, 2013, <br />the City was included on the list of HOME Participating Jurisdictions that have been granted <br />a match reduction .2 According to this notice, the City's HOME match requirement has been <br />reduced to 0% because the City's "family poverty rate' is 125% or more of the average <br />national poverty rate, the jurisdiction qualifies as distressed based on the family poverty <br />rate criterion, and the City's per capita income is less than 75% of the national average. <br />Even though Santa Ana is not required to provide HOME matching funds, the City will <br />continue to implement its current strategy to match HOME funds by undertaking projects <br />that blend local and private resources with HOME funds. HUD allows the City to use various <br />resources to meet this match requirement including: <br />• Cash N Value of waived taxes, fees or charges <br />• Value of donated land • Value of donated materials and /or labor <br />Based on past actions, HOME match resources will include the value of donated land and <br />value of donated labor and materials, and /or direct subsidies with non - federal funds. As <br />required, the City currently maintains a log of current match sources including a balance of <br />excess match. <br />The Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program also has a match requirement. The City must <br />match ESG expenditures dollar for dollar. The City of Santa Ana requires that subrecipients <br />of ESG funds provide documentation of matching resources. An annual report of matching <br />funds is provided to HUD as part of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation <br />Report. <br />ACTIVITIES TO BE UNDERTAKEN <br />An outline of activities the City of Santa Ana will undertake during the 2014 -2015 Program <br />Year is provided in TABLE 2. Activities were selected for implementation in order to address <br />HIGH priority needs identified in the City's Consolidated Plan. <br />z See HUD website <br />http:// portiLhud. aov /hudoortal /FIUD ?src= /oroeram offices /comm plannine /affordablehousin broarams/home/match <br />04/25/2014 17 <br />
