(b) If this activity is planned for the current Fiscal Year, describe the activities. Provide the projected number of projec t-based units and general
locations, and describe how project-basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan.
Depending on funding availability, SAHA plans to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for project-based vouchers. SAHA prefers to maximize the
impact of project-based vouchers to reduce chronic homelessness and veteran homelessness to functional zero requiring the project-based vouchers
to be restricted to permanent supportive housing units using the Housing First model with the Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System. The
projected number of project-based units depends on funding availability. The general locations for the project-based vouchers will be in areas of
high opportunity with low concentrations of poverty, access to amenities and services, walkability to transit, and financial feasibility of the
proposed project, among other selection criteria defined in the RFP. Project-basing vouchers will be consistent with the PHA Plan because it will
more effectively meet our strategy for addressing the most pressing housing needs of our community than regular tenant-based vouchers.

a total of 420 files under SEMAP Indicator # 3, even though the minimum sample size required by HUD was only 34 files. For SEMAP
Indicator # 5, SAHA audited a total of 84 inspections even though the minimum sample size required b y HUD was only 32 quality

Continue to provide referrals to the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center for job training and placement services, providing information and
linkages to the County’s Council on Aging (elderly services) and the Dayle McIntosh Center (disabled services), and conducted
recruitment for the FSS program at initial voucher issuance, at annual re-examinations, and through tenant newsletters: SAHA hired a
full-time Workforce Specialist I / FSS Coordinator effective February 2, 2018. The Workforce Specialist I has been working to increase
participation in the program through outreach and engagement while also providing monthly case management to participants in the
program. The Workforce Specialist I is co-located in the Santa Ana W/O/R/K Center through a Memorandum of Understanding. SAHA
also requires in any RFPs for project-based vouchers that a developer into an agreement with the Santa Ana Work Center.
Goal # 5: Ensure equal opportunity and affirmatively further fair housing through coordination with the Orange County Fair Housing
Council, the preparation of the Analysis of impediments to fair housing choice, and continued training on fair housing practi ces for staff
owner’s and participants.
Fair Housing programs and resources are included in all issuance briefings, reason able accommodation tracking logs updated.
Communication was maintained with the County’s Fair Housing Council, Public Law Center, and Legal Aid, ensuring proper referr als
for anyone alleging discrimination, whether an HCV participant or member of the publi c: In August 2018, SAHA held an annual Fair
Housing Training for all Housing Division employees. This annual training is required for all employees.
Assist the City of Santa Ana in maintaining of the housing Stock: No update
Goal # 6: Ensure assisted families obtain information, maintain housing and prevent domestic violence in accordance with Vio lence
Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2005.
In accordance with the Violence against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013), SAHA implemented an Emergency
Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking.
SAHA also implemented HUD-5380, Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act, HUD-5382, Certification of
Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking, and Alternate Documentation, and HUD-5383, Emergency Transfer
Request for Certain Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking.

informed on all available services.
Information on VAWA in regards to owner/tenant responsibilities and evictions is provided to all program applicants and parti cipants
and also mailed to all owners.
SAHA’s HCV Administrative Plan details restrictions on terminating assistance for victims of domestic violence, as well as guidelines
on terminating assistance for perpetrators of domestic violence.
At a minimum, SAHA trains staff on VAWA at least once annually. Staff also proactively provides information on VAWA to any
program participant or applicant who may show any evidence that information on VAWA is needed.

Resident Advisory Board Meeting Agenda
January 22, 2019
I. Welcome and Introductions
II. Explanation of the Purpose and Function of the Resident Advisory Board (24
CFR 903.13)
III. Explanation of the Housing Authority Annual Plan (24 CFR 903.3)
a. Explanation of the Housing Choice Voucher Program Administrative
Plan Update and how it relates to the Annual Plan
Recommendations by the Resident Advisory Board on Items in the Santa Ana
Housing Authority Annual Plan: (24 CFR 903.7)
b. Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs
_Top 3 housing needs are: 1. Not having enough vacant units and not enough
landlords take housing tenants; 2. Utilities costs billed by landlords are too
high and are unevenly distributed (per unit instead of people in household; 3)
Lack of affordable housing units for low income families.. Lack of space in
housing unit – maybe general storage might be considered. Lack of
communication between the Housing Authority/Landlord and Tenant. Lack of
information regarding portability. Lack of vacancy listings in different locations
to provide better housing choices. Develop means to better communicate
about program requirements and be more informative of different process:
reporting change, portability program, HCV program.
Solutions: Build more affordable housing units for Senior citizens, disabled
families. Provide a better list of vacant units.
EXHIBIT 1
4-17
c. Eligibility, Selection and Admissions Policies, including Deconcentration and
Waiting List Procedures
Recommendations: 1) Speed up the filtering process/review/approving process
of housing applications. 2) People that are already on housing should not be
able to apply for housing since they’ve already received housing assistance-
should be filtered out at the onset. 3) Change the waiting list priorities. Priority
should be given to senior citizens, disabled persons. 4) The waiting list should
be open more often.
d. Rent Determination Policies
Give priority to single bedroom and two bedrooms in rent determination since
those mainly serve senior citizens and disabled families. Approve rent at market
value or at 98% of the fair market rent to combat the increased rent. Owner
should accept housing because owners are still getting paid the same amount
of rent regardless of where the money is coming from.
e. Operation and Management
Recommends: Annual meetings should be done quarterly. Monthly electronic
Tenant Newsletter has potential to keep a tenant well informed & current. Can
also provide information regarding Gosection8, Housing Choice Voucher
program, portability program, listing of new units, new landlords, reminder
regarding reporting changes. Inspections help because any maintenance
issues can be addressed to the landlords
f. Grievance Procedures
Possibly giving more than 10 days if tenant needs to submit a grievance/request
a review. Provide more information, more frequently, in more languages.
Extend the 10 day to 30 days to file a grievance because the participant may be
in the hospital or is mentally unstable. State the obligations and procedures in
block letters and state the consequences if the participant fails. Provide
counsel, suggestions, recommendations and list options available,
consequences. Notification of consequences.
EXHIBIT 1
4-18
Housing Plus Program
Notify the housing tenants who have employments of the escrow account
immediately. Notify housing tenants of regulations and policies governing
withdrawals. SAHA to offer classes to educate tenants. This program is well
designed to help the participant become independent. See this program as a
stepping stone for those who qualify. To encourage others who would be
interested in the HOME housing program, offer: Education conventions, expose
to different careerpaths, different trade schools, provide information about short-
term certificate programs at the Santa Ana Community College. What help can
be given to a live-in-aide who is unemployed? Provide information to family
members to participate in the Housing Plus program because family members
may not know about the program.
g. Progress in Meeting Mission and Goals
Goal should be to provide affordable housing for working people and their
families. The housing program mission can improve by extending the
application from one month to three months. This area is in needs to assist the
low-income population. Funds from the Federal Program should be extended
to serve not only a certain number, but expand to those that qualify. SAHA
move for improvement: to see clients one on one, on a case by case basis.
h. Other Recommendations Not Listed Above
Government shut down effects voucher for senior citizens and disabled families.
Very important for the City Mayor and Council Members to take action for clients
on Section 8. The program is working to assist people to become self-sufficient
and securing a home which then would allow the participant to seek furthering
their education. Provide legal advice. SAHA should provide tenants with
consequences of the actions that they can take (for example notify by phone
that not reporting changes on time will result in termination weekly or monthly).
Housing Authority is also the last line of defense for owner rent increases.
Give more time on the voucher to be able to find a unit when moving.

RESOLUTION NO. 2019-
A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE
SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2019-2020
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana conclusively finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (the “Authority”) is required
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) to have an Annual
Plan due to the fact that the Authority administers a Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”)
Rental Assistance Program.
B. The purpose of the Authority’s Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program
participants and members of the public of its mission and strategy to serve the needs of
very low-income families. It provides information about the current operations of the
Authority, including programs, participants, services for the upcoming year, and any
operational or tenant concerns.
C. The Authority is required to review its operations and needs for the Annual
Plan with input from HCV participants. Three (3) Resident Advisory Board Meetings
were held on January 22, 2019, with responses incorporated into the Annual Plan, as
required by HUD regulations.
D. HUD regulations require a forty-five (45) day comment period. On
February 2, 2019, notification was published in the Orange County Register newspaper
that the draft plan was available for public review. Additional notice of the public review
period was also provided in the Nguoi Viet and La Opinion newspapers on February 5,
2019. The public comment period ended on March 19, 2019. Further, a public hearing
was held by the Housing Authority on March 19, 2019, and all comments received at the
hearing are included in the final documents to be submitted to HUD.
Section 2. The Annual Plan for Fiscal Years 2019-2020 of the Housing Authority of
the City of Santa Ana is hereby approved and adopted. Said Annual Plan shall be submitted
by the Authority to HUD.
Section 3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
