2014/15 1 2010/11- 2014/15 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN <br />ACTION PLAN <br />Additionally, the City has adopted a Minority Outreach Program to ensure minorities- and <br />women- businesses are provided the opportunity to participate in HOME- funded activities. <br />EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT <br />In November 2013, a Request for Proposals was mailed to homeless service providers <br />soliciting applications for FY 2014 -2015 ESG funds. Twenty -four applications were received <br />by the City requesting approximately $786,500. Grant applicants primarily sought funds to <br />offset the costs of shelter operations and essential services. To a lesser degree, <br />homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing funding was requested. <br />In February 2014 an ad hoc committee conducted interviews to rate and rank proposals. <br />Evaluation criteria took into consideration the following factors: <br />Number of people being served <br />■ Location of the service being provided <br />■ Percentage of program budget represented by the request <br />• Prior funding history with the City of Santa Ana <br />■ Need for the service being proposed <br />The ad hoc committee funding recommendations were considered at the 2014 -2015 Annual <br />Plan public hearing. Subsequently, the City Council approved the allocation of all 2014 -2015 <br />Emergency Solutions Grant funds. <br />All ESG grant applicants are required to identify the source of match funds in their <br />application. Match funds must equal or exceed the amount of grant funds requested. <br />Grant applicants have identified other Federal, State, and /or local government funds, <br />private donations and fees for services as ESG matching funds. ESG subrecipients are <br />required to submit certified proof of the receipt of these funds with each payment request. <br />HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH /AIDS <br />Since the inception of the HOPWA program in 1990 (implemented in 1992), the City of <br />Santa Ana has been the designated grantee of HOPWA funds for the County of Orange; <br />however, beginning with the 2014 -2015 Program Year, HUD will allocate HOPWA funds to <br />the City of Anaheim. There are no HOPWA- funded activities in this action plan, and 2013- <br />2014 will be the last year the City will report HOPWA program accomplishment as part of its <br />Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). <br />38 04/25/2014 <br />
