DISCUSSION
The Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP) was signed into
law on July 31, 2019 by Governor Newsom. HHAP Round 1 was a $650 million grant
that provided local jurisdictions with funds to support regional coordination, and expand
or develop local capacity to address their immediate homelessness challenges. The
City of Santa Ana (City) was awarded $8,422,162.84. The majority of these funds were
used for the tenant improvements at the Homeless Navigation Center.
HHAP Round 2 was a $300 million grant that supported previous funding to respond to
homelessness. The City was awarded $3,981,386. Similar to Round 1 funds, the
majority of these funds were used for tenant improvements at the Homeless Navigation
Center.
HHAP Round 3 is a $1 billion block grant that supports both HHAP Round 1 and Round
2 funding activities and the City will use the HHAP Round 3 grant ($10,290,351.69) for
Navigation Center operation costs, outreach and engagement, administration, and the
delivery of permanent housing for homeless youth. The City received an initial
disbursement of $2,058,070.34, of which a portion was used for tenant improvements at
the Navigation Center and for outreach and engagement. To receive the remaining
portion of the grant award, totaling $8,232,281.35, the State of California required that
all eligible entities submit an application including an approved local homelessness

plan. City Council approved the City’s application and plan on June 7, 2022. In early
November 2022, Governor Newsom paused the final disbursement of funds, demanding
more accountability and results across the State. In late November, the City was notified
that the remainder of the disbursement would be received following the execution of
grant contracts.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the appropriation adjustment will recognize $8,232,281.35 in funds from the
State of California, Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency into the HEAP &
HHAP Grant revenue account (no. 12218002-52025 State Grant-Direct) and
appropriate the same amount into the HHAP-3 Grant expenditure accounts
(nos.12218717-various.)
Any remaining balances not expended at the end of the fiscal year will be presented to
City Council for approval of carryovers to FY 23-24. All funds are to be used by June
30, 2026.
