COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its Regular Meeting on March 23, 2022, the Community Development Commission (CDC) held a public hearing to receive resident and stakeholder comments on funding priorities and needs for activities funded with the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships grant, and Emergency Solutions Grant programs in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 Annual Action Plan. No comments were received during the meeting. The Community Development Commission recommended approval of the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs to the City Council by a vote of 6:0. DISCUSSION Every five years, the City of Santa Ana (City) must submit its Five-Year Consolidated Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in order to receive funding for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and the Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) programs. These federal funds provide for the development of affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, public services, the expansion and retention of businesses, and the delivery of services for individuals experiencing homelessness. In general, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan describes how the City will invest and allocate these limited federal funds for and on behalf of the community. In May of 2020, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 was submitted to HUD. As part of this five-year strategic planning process, the City is required to submit an Annual Action Plan each year that describes how the City will achieve the goals stated in the Five-Year Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Action Plan covers Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2023 and seeks to allocate funding where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit1).The Annual Action Plan describes the intended use of the City’s federal entitlement grants specifically for FY 2022-2023. For FY 2022-2023, the City anticipates to receive $5,640,635 in CDBG program funds, $1,706,231 in HOME program funds, and $489,141 in ESG program funds from HUD: FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs April 19, 2022 Page 3 2 5 9 1 Program Allocation CDBG $5,640,635 HOME $1,706,231 ESG $ 489,141 TOTAL $7,836,007 In addition, the City will re-program a total of $2,653,725 in prior-year CDBG program resources that includes program income in the amount of $103,041 and $2,550,684 of prior year resources. The various projects and programs covered under the FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan are designed to serve low-income residents. The FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan includes the program budgets described in detail below for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs respectively. Community Development Block Grant Program Budget The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program provides funds to improve low to moderate-income neighborhoods eliminate blight and create a more stable economic base. These funds may be used for a diverse range of programs, including affordable housing, street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code enforcement, and public services. The City’s expected CDBG allocation for Grant Year (GY) 2022, FY 2022-2023, is $5,640,635. The proposed FY 2022-2023 CDBG Program and Funding Plan consists of the Community Development Commission funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs and staff’s funding recommendations for administration and planning, code enforcement, City capital improvements, and housing. The CDBG Program and Funding Plan can be summarized in two general categories: 1) CDBG Program Funding Plan/Capital Projects; and 2) Public Services.

The CDBG allowable cap of 20 percent for administration and fair housing services is estimated to be $1,128,127 for FY 2022-2023. Administration is necessary for staffing, compliance, reporting, fiscal management, and monitoring of the entire program.

The program’s flexibility allows HOME funds to be used for grants, direct loans, loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements, or tenant-based rental assistance or security deposits. At least 15 percent of HOME funds must be set aside for specific activities to be undertaken by a special type of nonprofit called a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community-based organization that has staff with the capacity to develop affordable housing for the community it serves. In order to qualify for designation as a CHDO, the organization must meet certain FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs April 19, 2022 Page 9 2 5 9 1 requirements pertaining to their legal status, organizational structure, and capacity and experience. The City’s HOME allocation for GY 2022, is expected to be $1,706,231. The proposed Annual Action Plan for the HOME Program consists of the GY allocation, program income and prior year HOME resources. The large carryover of prior year resources ($9,428,513) is due to the lengthy development process for affordable housing developments. While funds may be pre-committed for a project, they may not be fully committed and disbursed until certain requirements are met including underwriting, subsidy layering, and project assessment requirements. In this Annual Action Plan, funds are proposed for affordable housing development and rehabilitation. The funds for affordable housing development and rehabilitation include a pre-commitment of funds for two affordable housing projects in pre-development: $3,007,489 for the construction of 16 HOME-assisted units at the Crossroads at Washington project, and $2,003,705 for the construction of nine HOME-assisted units at the Westview House project, as already approved by the City Council. The remaining funds will be allocated through a Request for Proposals for Affordable Housing Development to be issued during FY 2022-2023. The budget below only includes those funds that are being budgeted for FY 2022-2023: The FY 2022-2023 HOME Program Funding Plan is not attached as an exhibit because the funding plan is described in the table above. Emergency Solutions Grant The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program provides funds to assist sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals, as well as those at risk of homelessness, to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness. Recipients of ESG funding in Orange County include the following entitlement jurisdictions: County of Orange, City of Anaheim, City of Irvine, City of Santa Ana, and City of Garden Grove. Collectively, this group is referred to as the Orange County ESG Collaborative that was formed over five years ago. On November 7, 2019, three member cities of the Orange County ESG Collaborative released a combined ESG Request for Proposals (RFP) to support the Orange County Continuum of Care' s goal to end homelessness (the County of Orange and City of Irvine allocated their funding independent of the Collaborative this funding cycle). The Collaborative accepted 2022 HOME Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount HOME Program Administration $ 170,623 HOME CHDO Set-Aside $ 255,935 Affordable Housing Development and Rehabilitation $1,279,673 Prior Year Resources $9,428,513 TOTAL $11,134,744 FY 2022-2023 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs April 19, 2022 Page 10 2 5 9 1 applications until December 10, 2019, with supplemental applications and requirements for both the City of Santa Ana and Anaheim. The RFP included a provision for up to four one-year renewals that could be exercised independently by each Collaborative member. The City chose to exercise this renewal option for FY 2022-2023. Specifically, while funding recommendations are made collaboratively, ESG funds are to be used to provide eligible activities within each jurisdiction in which they are funded. Subrecipients awarded funding in FY 2021-2022 and interested in FY 2022-2023 funding, were required to re- submit a budget and program summary for FY 2022-2023 ESG funding. The City’s ESG allocation for GY 2022, FY 2022-2023 is anticipated to be $489,141. The proposed FY 2022-2023 ESG Program and Funding Plan includes a list of recommended homeless service providers for FY 2022-2023 (Exhibit 4). The funding recommendations are based upon applications received during the 2019 RFP process, and the performance and current needs as identified by staff. The budget below is broken down by category to provide more detail on funds allocated to eligible ESG activities: 2022 ESG Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount ESG Program Administration $ 36,686 Homeless Street Outreach $ 51,880 Homeless Emergency Shelter $ 110,000 Homeless Prevention $ 25,000 Rapid Re-housing $ 125,000 ESG Data Collection Management $ 140,575 TOTAL $ 489,141 Outreach and Engagement In accordance with the regulations at 24 CFR Part 91, the City of Santa Ana’s Citizen Participation Plan requires two public hearings to be conducted annually for the development of the Annual Action Plan. The first public hearing was held before the Community Development Commission on March 23, 2022 to accept public comments on the funding priorities for the upcoming year that would be included in the draft Annual Action Plan; and the second public hearing is being held before the Santa Ana City Council on April 19, 2022 to accept public comments on the draft Annual Action Plan. In addition, the federal regulations for HUD requires that the draft Annual Action Plan be made available for a 30-day public review and comment period. On March 10, 2022, a public notice was published in the Orange County Register, La Opinión in Spanish, and Nguoi Viet in Vietnamese, that the draft Annual Action Plan was available for review and comment. The 30-day public comment period will conclude on April 10, 2022. All comments received, including all funding recommendations made by the City Council, will be included in the final document.

1 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Executive Summary AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b) Introduction The 2022-23 Action Plan is the City of Santa Ana’s Annual Plan for the investment of annual allocations of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Action Plan (Action Plan) represents the third year of the City of Santa Ana Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) for the Fiscal Years 2020-2024 (Con Plan) as ratified by the City Council and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grant programs are consistent with HUD’s national strategy to provide decent housing opportunities, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities—particularly for low- and moderate-income people. In consideration of finite grant resources, the goals and projects within this Action Plan outline the areas and population segments with the greatest level of need for a particular program or activity and intends to invest grant resources in high leverage opportunities where data suggests that the City will be able to maximize the impact of every dollar. The Action Plan utilizes the priority needs identified in the 2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan process, which identified the City’s priority needs, including the rationale for establishing allocation priorities and specific measurable goals to be addressed during the five-year period. HUD has not yet announced the FY2022 allocations and the budgets listed in this Annual Action Plan are estimates based on the FY2021 allocation. The City of Santa Ana will proportionally adjust each project allocation in accordance with the final allocation announcements from HUD. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan HUD’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) Outcome Performance Measurement Framework classifies objectives in three categories: decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunity. In Santa Ana’s 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the City identified six high priority needs to be addressed through the implementation of activities aligned with seven Strategic Plan goals. The priority needs for Santa Ana include:  Expand the supply of affordable housing  Preserve the supply of affordable housing  Access to and supply of public services  Increase access to and supply of homeless services and facilities EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 2 - 2022 Annual Action Plan  Promote economic opportunity  Improve City public facilities and infrastructure Consistent with HUD’s national goals for HUD CPD programs to provide decent housing opportunit ies, maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, the priority needs listed above will be addressed through the implementation of HUD funded activities aligned with the following seven measurable Strategic Plan goals:  Affordable Housing Development, Maintenance, and Preservation  Code Enforcement  Public Service Programs  Homeless Services and Facilities  Economic Development Program  Public Facilities and Infrastructure  Program Administration and Fair Housing Services Evaluation of past performance During the 2021 program year, the City of Santa Ana prioritized program activities to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic within the City of Santa Ana.

Introduction As part of the 5-year Consolidated Planning process, the City of Santa Ana consulted with representatives from multiple agencies, groups, and organizations involved in the development of affordable housing, creation of job opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents, and/or provision of services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. To facilitate this consultation, the City solicited feedback through the following methods:  Stakeholder/resident surveys  Individual stakeholder consultations  Community meetings  Public hearings  30-day public comment period  Receipt of written comments To gather the greatest breadth and depth of information, the City consulted with a wide variety of agencies, groups and organizations concerning the housing, community and economic development needs of the community. Each of the agencies, groups or organizations consulted is represented below. The input received from these consultation partners helped establish and inform the objectives and goals described in the Strategic Plan. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). The City recognizes the importance of careful coordination and alignment among various service providers to maximize the effectiveness of the CDBG program. As a result, during the development of this Consolidated Plan, the City consulted with organizations that provide assisted housing, health services and other community-focused programs. Outreach efforts included surveys including specific questions associated with coordination, invitations to community meetings and follow-up phone interviews where appropriate. The City further recognizes the importance of continued coordination and alignment during the upcoming five-year planning period with these organizations and agencies. The City will strengthen relationships and alignment among these organizations in the implementation of the NOFA process for CDBG funds and through technical assistance provided to subrecipients of CDBG funds each year. . EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 6 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Orange County’s homeless Continuum of Care (CoC) is comprised of a network of public, private, faith - based, for-profit, and non-profit service providers who utilize several federal, state and local resources to provide services and facilities for homeless people. The region’s municipalities, including the City of Santa Ana, also provide resources for services that assist the homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless. Non-profit service and facility providers play a critical role in the current CoC system and in addressing homeless needs within Santa Ana. These organizations provide a range of services throughout the County ranging from job training to creating permanent supportive housing opportunities. These services are available to homeless individuals and households. The CoC guides the development of homeless strategies and the implementation of programs to end homelessness throughout the region. In conducting the City’s Needs Assessment, Santa Ana carefully reviewed the CoC’s current strategy and planning documents to ensure coordination in goals and objectives. Additionally, the City provided a questionnaire to the CoC as well as key service providers operating in Santa Ana to identify the CoC’s perceived needs in the county and its objectives to address the needs of different homeless persons populations, specifically chronically homeless families and individuals, families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth and persons at risk of homelessness. The City will continue to actively work with the CoC as well as its partners throughout the County to coordinate on the planning and implementation of homeless services and programming. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS In the development of the Consolidated Plan, the City of Santa Ana consulted with numerous housing, social service, and homeless service providers whose work intersects with the goal of reducing and ending homelessness in Orange County and/ or Santa Ana. This consultation provided input on allocation methodologies and approach for ESG programs. The City of Santa Ana regularly coordinates with the Orange County CoC to align performance standards, evaluate outcomes of current initiatives, coordination program policies and procedures related to program design and HMIS administration. In addition, The City of Santa Ana participates in the Orange County ESG Collaborative, which includes Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, and the County of Orange. The Col laborative works very closely with the Continuum of Care. To ensure funds are leveraged to create maximum impact, the Orange County ESG Collaborative has developed aligned values and priorities and makes ESG funding decisions.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize As part of the Annual Action Plan process, the City of Santa Ana actively encouraged residents from across the City to participate in identifying needs and issues to inform the housing and community development needs assessment. In an effort to broaden engagement, the City facilitated two public hearings to gather feedback on annual needs and programming. FY 2022/23 Annual Action Plan Citizen Participation The City of Santa Ana has a citizen participation plan to guide the City's CDBG citizen participation process. All of Santa Ana’s citizens are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plans. Organizations receiving direct CDBG funding are in regular contact with City staff. Other organizations are consulted as needed or have been present at various public hearings held by the City. Two public hearings are held each year by the City to discuss issues related to the Consolidated Plan as well as the Annual Action Plan. The first hearing focuses on the needs of the community and development of the Annual Action Plan and provides citizens with an opportunity to comment on the draft Annual Action Plan. The second public hearing focuses on performance as they relate to housing, homelessness, accessibility, and community development needs, such as infrastructure and public services. In all cases, a Notice of Public Hearing is published at least 15 days prior to the hearing to provide residents with adequate notice. A draft 2022/23 Annual Action Plan was available for public comment for a minimum 30-day period (March 10 – April 10, 2022). The Community Development Commission held a public hearing on March 23, 2022 providing residents and interested parties another opportunity to comment on the 2022/23 Annual Action Plan prior to approval by the City Council on April 19, 2022 and submittal to HUD The table on the subsequent page documents the City’s approach to resident engagement.

N/A EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 35 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction HUD has not yet announced the FY2022 allocations and the budgets listed in this Annual Action Plan are estimates based on the FY2021 allocation. The City of Santa Ana will proportionally adjust each project allocation in accordance with the final allocation announcements from HUD. The City of Santa Ana anticipates that it will continue to receive CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding during the duration of this Consolidated Plan cycle. When accounting for program income and prior year resources, the City anticipates that it will have the following funding to target to its strategic goals and priorities:  CDBG: $5,640,635  HOME: $1,706,231  ESG: $489,141 The City of Santa Ana intends to issue two HOME, pre-commitment loans totaling $5,111,417.88 during FY 2022-2023. 1. Crossroads at Washington Pre-Commitment Loan - Project Admin 2% = $3,067,638.78 Approved by our City Council on 7/2/2019 2. Westview House Pre-Commitment Loan - Project Admin 2% = $2,043,779.10 Approved by our City Council on 4/7/2020. The table on the following page provides more detail on anticipated funding for the 2022 program year. In April 2021, HUD approved and processed the City’s HOME Admin waiver request for FY 2019 and FY 2020 to increase the admin allocation from 10% to 15%. Those amounts are included in the HOME Prior Year Resources of this Action Plan.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 38 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied The City recognizes that the City's annual entitlement is not sufficient to meet all of the needs of the community. It is therefore important to leverage resources to achieve the goals of the City. The City works diligently with private, state and local partners to leverage the City's HUD CPD funds. For the ESG program, matching requirements are passed to sub-recipients who demonstrate matching dollars prior to funding as well as at each quarterly invoice. ESG funds are leveraged by working with the OC Collaborative and considering other funding opportunities for various programs for the homeless population. This will include leveraging with both Housing Choice Voucher Program funding and HOME funds. The City administration recognizes that the City's annual entitlement and formula allocations are not sufficient to meet all of its needs, and that leveraging resources is critical to achieving the City's goals. The City continues to cultivate funding partners who can match the City's investment of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. The need remains great, and additional funds are sought to ensure that more affordable housing and important programs and activities are available for those in need. To that end the City seeks funds from the State and grants from other entities, both public and private. Matching requirements have been satisfied with other eligible financial resources and/or in-kind services, and the City will continue to seek this type of matching as well as financial matches. If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The Santa Ana Housing Authority owns the parcel at 302 E. Twenty-Second Street. This parcel is approximately 27,817 square feet in size. It is currently zoned R1 for single family residences, which allows one house per lot. The vacant, undeveloped lot was purchased from CalTrans and was a remnant parcel from a freeway-widening project. The property is irregular in shape and below the minimum lot size for a residential lot. The City and Housing Authority are currently assessing the necessary variances and other approvals necessary to support development on this lot. In addition, Santa Ana will comply with new State requirements under AB1486 and AB1255 to inventory and support developers to access and utilize surplus municipal and state land for the construction of affordable housing. If such sites are identified, the City will consider the use of HUD or other resources to assist with site preparation.

EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 56 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Affordable Housing AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g) Introduction The Annual Action Plan specifies goals for the number of homeless, non-homeless, and special needs households to be provided affordable housing within the program year. The plan also indicates the number of affordable housing units that will be provided by program type, including rental assistance, production of new units, rehabilitation of existing units, or acquisition of existing units. For the purpose of this section, the term "affordable housing" is defined in the HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.252 for rental housing and 24 CFR 92.254 for homeownership. The City of Santa Ana does not prioritize specific housing programs for special needs populations but serves these populations through all housing programs.

If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance Not applicable. EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 59 - 2022 Annual Action Plan AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction The needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and persons with special needs are complex and require a wide range of specialized services. Numerous agencies are typically involved in the care of these individuals, providing distinct services such as housing, mental health counseling, employment training, and case management services. A number of activities and services are funded to help the needs of individuals experiencing homelessness and other special needs populations. Overall, these services address the high priority of reducing homelessness and the threat of becoming homeless, as well as providing necessary supportive services. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Through this Action Plan, the City of Santa Ana will continue to prioritize support and assistance to homeless persons and those at imminent risk of becoming homeless. Through HUD and non-HUD resources, the City will continue to: 1. Prioritize street outreach through Quality of Life Teams 2. Preserve existing and increase the supply of permanent supportive housing 3. Preserve existing and increase the supply of affordable housing 4. Provide housing services and assistance to special needs populations 5. Improve critical services to low-income and special needs populations 6. Coordinate services within the City as well as regionally in collaboration with the Continuum of Care 7. Collaborate with all communities in Orange County to address homelessness with coordinated, regional approaches Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The County of Orange operates a year-round emergency shelter in the Civic Center of Santa Ana that provides safe sleep and emergency shelter for over 400 individuals each night, and food and supportive services for over 600 individuals on a daily basis. The ESG funded HEART outreach team, City Net and Illumination Foundation organizations provide outreach and engagement services in and around the shelter as well as other locations in the City. The County also runs an emergency cold-weather shelter EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 60 - 2022 Annual Action Plan in Santa Ana during the winter for approximately 200 individuals. In addition to these shelters, the one year actions will address the needs of individuals who are homeless that includes unaccompanied women, victims of domestic violence, chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. The range of services include emergency shelter, transitional housing and permanent supportive housing. ESG funds will provide assistance for street outreach services, homeless prevention and rapid re-housing. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transit ion to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The City supports a number of programs to assist low-income individuals and families to avoid becoming homeless, including Section 8 Housing Choice vouchers. Other support services, such as job and training assistance, food assistance, and counseling are also available to help individuals recover from homelessness and to avoid becoming homeless. The City works closely with the Continuum of Care who provides oversight for the Vulnerability Index - Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (VI- SPDAT) to prioritize the most vulnerable chronically homeless individuals. Case management services are offered in all programs to help prevent individuals from falling back into homelessness. I n addition, the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana has recently been awarded VASH project-based vouchers for permanent supportive housing for Veterans experiencing homelessness. These 100 vouchers are in addition to the current Vouchers with two projects already in the pipeline. An RFP will be released shortly for these additional vouchers. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low - income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The goals listed above will help these individuals and families to avoid becoming homelessness. The ESG program will fund homelessness prevention programs including utility and security deposit assistance as well as rental assistance. The HEART program, funded by ESG provides bus tickets for individuals interested in returning to their home; often following a release from a correctional facility. Additionally, the County of Orange is equipped to serve people discharged from publicly funded institutions or systems of care such as health care facilities or correction programs EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 61 - 2022 Annual Action Plan AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j) Introduction The City evaluated barriers and constraints to the development of affordable housing as a critical component of the Housing Element. A variety of barriers exist which make increasing the affordable housing stock in Santa Ana difficult: 1. Income and wages are not keeping pace with rising housing costs and the overall cost of living. 2. Federal resources for programs, such as the federal Section 8 Program, do not match the need experienced. 3. Homeownership is out of reach for the majority of residents. 4. Low housing vacancy rates are contributing to higher rents. 5. The cost of land is high and there is a lack of vacant land for future growth. 6. Impediments to Fair Housing. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is currently in the process of reviewing the City’s Housing Element for the 6th cycle. The Housing Element will be brought before City Council for adoption in May 2022 and then subsequently sent to HCD for certification which is expected Summer of 2022. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment Santa Ana will continue to actively fund the development and preservation of affordable housing as well as identify opportunities to leverage and utilize additional state, local, or non-governmental funding resources to develop and preserve additional housing throughout the City. Through the City’s compliance with AB 1486 (Surplus Lands Act) as well as a constant monitoring of state land made available through Executive Order N-06-19, the City will look to identify potential parcels of underutilized land that can be leveraged for potential affordable housing development. With the update for the 6th cycle Housing Element, the City has incorporated AB 686 requirements for fair housing into an Assessment of Fair Housing appendix. Through this process, the City has identified a set of city-specific and regional goals and approaches to address barriers to affordable housing and affirmatively further fair housing in the City. The goal of this assessment is to ensure that people have fair housing choice. The assessment has two main purposes –prevent discrimination and reverse housing segregation. The City will continue to work to meeting the goals and objectives set forth in the Assessment of Fair Housing. EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 62 - 2022 Annual Action Plan AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction The City of Santa Ana will undertake a range of activities targeted to address the needs of the City’s low- and moderate-income and underserved individuals and households. Underserved individuals includes elderly, persons with a disability, youth, homeless, veterans, victims of domestic violence, and extremely low-income households. The City will continue to prioritize a holistic and targeted approach to address homelessness in the City through dedicated City staff, the continued use of Quality of Life Teams, and a close partnership with local and regional organizations and stakeholders. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs To effectively address the obstacles to meeting the needs of underserved individuals, the City will work closely with its network of local and regional partners and nonprofits to continually identify the most pressing needs and barriers to effectively delivering public services, housing and other programs. Building off this input, the City will prioritize public and social service programs that most align with the needs of these populations. The City will rely on its partners to assist in communication and messaging to ensure that underserved households are able to access and utilize these programs and services. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing To foster and maintain affordable housing in the City, Santa Ana will focus on programs and activities that support the development and preservation of affordable housing activities. Wherever possible, the City will work to leverage additional resources (including other federal, state, and local resources) to more effectively and efficiently foster and maintain affordable housing. Activities include:  Construction of new rental and homeownership units  Rehabilitation and/ or preservation of existing rental units  Homeowner rehabilitation programs for low- and moderate-income households Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards To address and reduce the problems caused by exposure to lead-based paint, the City has implemented a lead paint hazard identification and notification process as part of its housing programs. This process been designed to comply with HUD’s lead-based paint hazard regulations (Title X) which became effective in September 2000 and was implemented in Santa Ana in January 2002. All owner-occupied housing units rehabilitated or constructed prior to 1979 are inspected for lead-based paint hazards. If the inspection finds potential lead-based paint hazards, the subject property is tested – the average cost per test is $450. The procedures to comply with Title X has added approximately 30 days to the typical housing rehabilitation project. EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 63 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The underlying objective of this Consolidated Plan is focused on reducing the number of families and households in poverty and lessening the impact of poverty on those households. The City will take a multi-faceted approach to reduce the number of poverty-level families located within the City and improve the quality of life for extremely low-income households in the City. 1. Partner with and leverage local job training programs focused on supporting residents prepare for and access living wage job opportunities. 2. Through the City’s housing programs, it will reduce the number of cost burdened households living in the City, allowing them to allocate personal resources to other critical household needs. 3. Public services will be targeted to address critical needs of low-income and vulnerable residents through the provision of programming, transportation, education, childcare and other key needs that are identified by the City and its stakeholders. Services such as these are components to assist individuals to be better suited to secure and retain living wage employment. 4. Homeless assistance, including prevention, will provide critical services to extremely low-income households in need of immediate assistance and support to be better suited and able to take steps to identify sustainable housing and employment options. 5. Improving public facilities eliminates existing facilities and infrastructure that negatively impacts residential neighborhoods. Actions planned to develop institutional structure To continue to develop the institutional structure among the City, nonprofit stakeholders and other local and regional stakeholders, the City will regularly communicate and coordinate program objectives, services and activities with all stakeholders. The City will work to expand the coordination and communication among partners through invitations to participate in the Consolidated and Action Plan process as well as working to create synergies and partnerships between different service providers during the implementation of programs and activities. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies Through the ESG program, the City will continue to partner closely with neighboring jurisdictions as well as service and housing providers operating in the City and County. The City will continue to strive to encourage a unified approach to the development and delivery of housing and social service programs to effectively address the needs of homeless and extremely low-income households in the community. In the coming year, the City will continue to build off these successes to integrate additional service and housing providers into this coordinated partnership. EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 64 - 2022 Annual Action Plan Program Specific Requirements AP-90 Program Specific Requirements – 91.220(l)(1,2,4) Introduction In the implementation of programs and activities under the 2021 Annual Action Plan, the City of Sant a Ana will follow all HUD regulations concerning the program elements of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(1) Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table. The following identifies program income that is available for use that is included in projects to be carried. 1. The total amount of program income that will have been received before the start of the next program year and that has not yet been reprogrammed 130,566 2. The amount of proceeds from section 108 loan guarantees that will be used during the year to address the priority needs and specific objectives identified in the grantee's strategic plan 0 3.

The amount of urgent need activities 0% EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 65 - 2022 Annual Action Plan HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: The City of Santa Ana does not use HOME funds in any other manner other than those described in Section 92.205(b). 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: The City incorporates a recapture requirement into written agreements and long-term affordability covenants for homebuyer assistance activities administered by the City as required by 24 CFR 92.254. For any homebuyer assistance activity implemented by subrecipients or CHDOs, this recapture requirement shall also be used. HOME affordability requirements are imposed based on the amount of direct HOME subsidy pursuant to HUD regulations as follows: Assistance under $15,000: 5-year affordability period Assistance between $15,000 - $40,000: 10-year affordability period Assistance over $40,000: 15-year affordability period The amount subject to recapture is the direct HOME subsidy received by the homebuyer. Direct HOME subsidy includes the HOME investment that enabled the homebuyer to purchase the property. This includes down payment assistance, closing costs, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer and/or the difference between the fair market value of the property (as determined by appraisal) and a reduced sales price attributable to HOME development assistance. The recapture provision ensures that the entire amount of the City's direct HOME subsidy to homebuyers is recaptured if the housing does not continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the applicable period of affordability (e.g., the home is sold, the home is foreclosed, the assisted owner is no longer residing in the assisted residence, or for any other breach of the agreement with the City). The HOME-assisted homebuyer may sell their unit at any time during the period of affordability, to any willing buyer, and at the price the market will bear. The recapture provision requires that the City’s direct HOME subsidy and any interest due under the HOME loan (that has not previously been repaid) is returned to the City from net proceeds first, subject to the limitation that if there are no net proceeds or the net proceeds are insufficient to repay the HOME investment due, the City may only recapture the net proceeds, if any. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds), and any closing costs. In the event of a mortgage default, a provision in the written agreement and long-term affordability covenant stipulates that the City has the right of first refusal before foreclosure and may use EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 66 - 2022 Annual Action Plan additional HOME funds or other resources to acquire the housing in order to preserve the housing’s affordability. Recaptured funds may be used for any HOME eligible activity. These recaptured funds are identified in the City’s accounting system by a unique recaptured revenue object number. Any recaptured funds will be used by the City before any additional HOME funds. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: See above. 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: N/A – the City will not be using HOME funds for this activity. If the City elects to refinance existing debt, it will provide its policies and procedures as part of an amendment to its Action Plan. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Reference 91.220(l)(4) 1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) ESG funds will be used for eligible activities under five program components: street outreach, emergency shelter, homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing assistance, and Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) costs, as well as allowable administrative costs and activities. ESG applications go through an open and transparent proposal process. The Community Development Agency is responsible for ensuring that the ESG program is implemented in accordance with all Federal rules and regulations. 2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. Orange County, in collaboration with the CoC and other ESG entitlement jurisdictions including the City of Santa Ana will utilize assessment and evaluation instruments developed in consultation with the HIMIS lead agency and previously funded HPRP grantees. The County ensures ongoing coordination of program design and eligibly standards. The City will provide funding for the administration of the HMIS data entry system. 3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations). On November 7, 2019, the City of Anaheim released a combined ESG Request for Proposals (RFP) in partnership with the City of Santa Ana and City of Garden Grove to support the Orange County Continuum of Care’s goal to end homelessness. This RFP was marketed to nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations) operating throughout Orange County. To minimize duplication of effort in the application process, Garden Grove accepted applications until December 10, 2019, with supplemental applications and requirements for both Santa Ana and Anaheim. The RFP included four possible one-year renewals. Should the OC Collaborative determine to exercise these annual renewals past the end of FY 20-21, an RFP will not be released. Current subrecipients awarded funding in FY 21-22 will be required to submit a new budget and program summary. New forms and information will be provided by the Collaborative at that time. In addition, the Collaborative reserves the right to redistribute funding EXHIBIT 1 City of Santa Ana - 67 - 2022 Annual Action Plan and/or issue a new RFP at its discretion 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The City consults and works with the County and CoC homeless services staff as well as local homeless service providers, advocacy groups, facilities and other stakeholders in determining its strategic approach, policies and funding decisions. A previously homeless individual participated on the ESG funding review panel. Individuals who were previously homeless provide assistance in outreach and engagement services and provide feedback to Staff. In addition, the CoC’s strategy reflects the participation of all 34 cities in Orange County as well as individuals who are homeless or previously homeless, schools, and a host of other organizations and stakeholders. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. The City utilizes the HUD Monitoring ESG handbook to monitor each program’s performance to ensure that goals are on track and funds are used for eligible activities. On a quarterly basis, invoices are reviewed to ensure program compliance. In addition, the quarterly financial invoices are monitored by City Accounting staff. On-site monitoring of non-profit organizations is done by staff and by consultants for both program and financial records on an as-needed basis, or at least every three years. The City works closely with the CoC and other ESG jurisdictions in the County to standardize processes and approaches as much as possible.
