SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE 12015/16-2019/20 CITY OF SANTA ANA CONSOLIDATED PLAN <br />2017/18 ACTION PLAN <br />SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL <br />YEAR 2017-2018 ACTION PLAN <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The City of Santa Ana's federal Annual Action Plan details the funding strategy for the <br />Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and HOME <br />Investment Partnerships programs each year. These Annual Action Plans implement our <br />jurisdiction's Five -Year Consolidated Plan and are developed through significant public input, <br />analyses, and planning. This document is a Substantial Amendment to the City of Santa Ana's <br />Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Annual Action Plan, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of <br />Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on May 2017. <br />Title 24 Section 91.505 of the Code of Federal Regulations stipulates that participating <br />jurisdictions shall amend their approved plans whenever they make one of the following <br />decisions: <br />1. To make a change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of <br />funds; <br />2. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the Consolidated Plan <br />(including program income) not previously described in the action plan; or <br />3. To change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity. <br />The Regulation further requires that jurisdictions identify in their citizen participation plans the <br />criteria they will use for determining what constitutes a substantial amendment. <br />Consistent with these requirements, the Citizen Participation Plan adopted by the City of Santa <br />Ana as a component of its 2015/16 — 2019/20 Consolidated Five Year Plan identifies three <br />criteria that will require a substantial amendment: <br />1. Changes in the use of CDBG funds from one eligible activity to another; <br />2. An activity is undertaken that was not previously included in the Consolidated Plan or <br />subsequent action plans. <br />3. More than 30 percent of the most recent annual federal grant allocation is reallocated <br />to other eligible program activities within the fiscal year. <br />The proposed substantial amendment plans to undertake activities not previously included in <br />the Consolidated Plan or Annual Action Plan. Therefore, this qualifies as a substantial <br />amendment. <br />10/2017 <br />21A-5 <br />SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE <br />2017-2018 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN <br />
