The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (the "Authority ") is required <br />by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ( "HUD ") to have a Five <br />Year /Annual Plan due to the fact that the Authority administers a Housing Choice <br />Voucher ( "HCV ") Rental Assistance Program, <br />B. The Administrative Plan serves as supporting documentation for the Five <br />Year/ Annual Plan. It informs the public and staff about HCV regulations and explains <br />how the Authority will implement those regulations. The Administrative Plan must be <br />reviewed and updated annually to ensure compliance with regulatory changes made by <br />HUD (if any). This year the following sections were updated: regulatory changes to <br />portability procedures, and the process to open the wait list. <br />C. The purpose of the Authority's Five Year /Annual Plan is to advise HUD, <br />program participants and members of the public of its mission and strategy to serve the <br />needs of very low- income families. It provides information about the current operations <br />of the Authority including programs, participants, services for the upcoming five years, <br />and any operational or tenant concerns. <br />D. The Authority is required to review its operations and needs for the Five <br />Year /Annual Plan with input from Housing Choice Voucher participants. A survey of all <br />participants living in the City of Santa Ana, landlords, and applicants was sent in <br />November 2014, with responses incorporated into the Five Year /Annual Plan, as <br />required by HUD regulations. <br />E.
