SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE ! 2015/16- 2019/20 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN 2015/16 ACTION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 -2016 ACTION PLAN INTRODUCTION This document is a Substantial Amendment to the City of Santa Ana's Fiscal Year 2015 -16 Annual Action Plan, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on May 15, 2015. Title 24 Section 91.505 of the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that participating jurisdictions shall amend their approved plans whenever they make one of the following decisions: 1. To make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds; 2. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan (including program income) not previously described in the action plan; or 3. To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. The Regulation further requires that jurisdictions identify in their citizen participation plans the criteria they will use for determining what constitutes a substantial amendment. Consistent with these requirements, the Citizen Participation Plan adopted by the City of Santa Ana as a component of its 2015/16 — 2019/20 Consolidated Five Year Plan identifies three criteria that will require a substantial amendment: 1. Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another; 2. An activity is undertaken that was not previously included in the Consolidated Plan or subsequent action plans. 3. More than 30 percent of the most recent annual federal grant allocation is reallocated to other eligible program activities within the fiscal year. The proposed amendment meets one of these three criteria, and therefore requires a substantial amendment. 01/13/2016 29A -6 SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 2015 -2016 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
