TOPIC: Housing Authority Annual Plan
AGENDA TITLE:
Public Hearing - Approve the Housing Authority Annual Plan
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Conduct a public hearing in consideration of the approval and submission of the
Housing Authority Annual Plan to the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
2. Adopt a resolution approving the Housing Authority Annual Plan and authorize the
Executive Director of the Housing Authority to submit the Annual Plan to the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires
housing authorities that administer a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program to have an
Annual Plan for the management and operation of the program. The general purpose of
the Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program participants, applicants, and members of the
public on the Housing Authority’s policies, programs, operations, and strategies for
meeting local housing needs and goals. Specifically, the Annual Plan (Exhibit 1) provides
information on the following topics: (1) new activities to be undertaken by the Housing
Authority in the next year; (2) findings from the most recent Fiscal Year audit; and (3)
annual progress the Housing Authority has made in meeting the goals and objectives
described in the Five-Year Plan for FY 2020-2025. This Annual Plan is for the third year
of the Five Year Plan for FY 2020-2025.
As required by HUD, three ad hoc Resident Advisory Board meetings were held on
February 2, 2022 with HCV participants who receive housing assistance from the Housing
Authority. The meetings were conducted in three languages: English, Spanish, and
Vietnamese. All active participants in the HCV Program were mailed an invitation to
participate on the Resident Advisory Board and the Board provided input for the
development of the Annual Plan. The comments from the Resident Advisory Board were

incorporated into the Annual Plan. The Santa Ana Housing Authority (SAHA) also
conducted a survey of all HCV participants. The survey was mailed to all active HCV
participants to complete.
Staff analyzed all of the recommendations from the Resident Advisory Board and survey
responses by doing the following: (1) considering the feasibility of each recommendation;
(2) discussing as a team the opportunity for the SAHA to implement each
recommendation; and (3) making a determination on which recommendation(s) could be
implemented or considered for future implementation. All of the recommendations were
taken into consideration by staff and incorporated into the Annual Plan.
On February 23, 2022, a legal notice was published in the Orange County Register and
La Opinión advising the public that a draft of the Annual Plan was available for public
review and comment and a public hearing would be held on April 5, 2022. A legal notice
was also published in the Nguoi Viet newspaper on February 24, 2022. The Annual Plan
was also made available on the Housing Authority’s website and in the Housing Authority
lobby. HUD federal regulations requires a 45-day public comment period and the public
comment period ends on April 5, 2022. (A legal notice was also published on February
19, 2022 in another publication in order to meet the 45-day public comment period
requirement.) All public comments received will be included in the Annual Plan submitted
to HUD.

(a) Does the PHA intend to undertake any new activities related to the following in the PHA’s current Fiscal Year?
Y N
Project Based Vouchers.
(b) If this activity is planned for the current Fiscal Year, describe the activities. Provide the projected number of project-based units and general
locations, and describe how project-basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan.
The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SAHA) plans to:
1) Enter into an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for three (3) project-based vouchers in a 17-unit new
construction project called FX Residences. FX Residences involves the new construction of an affordable multifamily apartment
complex consisting of 16 units of permanent supportive housing, and one (1) manager’s unit. The location of the project is at 801, 809,
809 ½ East Santa Ana Boulevard.
2) Enter into an Agreement to Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for seven (7) project-based vouchers in a 86-unit new
construction project called Crossroads at Washington. The Crossroads at Washington project involves the new construction of a 100%
affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of 85 units of rental housing and one (1) manager’s unit. All units will be
affordable to households earning less than 30% AMI of which 43 units will be set-aside for permanent supportive housing. The location
of the project is at 1126 and 1146 E. Washington Ave.
3) Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for eighty-nine (89) project-based vouchers in a 89-unit motel rehabilitation project
called North Harbor Village. The North Harbor Village project involves the acquisition and rehabilitation of a former motel yielding 89
units of permanent supportive housing. The project will have eight-nine (89) PBVs consisting of 34 HUD-VASH PBVs and 55 non
HUD-VASH PBVs. The location of the project is at 1108 N. Harbor Blvd.
4) Enter into a Housing Assistance Payments Contract for eight (8) project-based vouchers in a 93-unit new construction project called
Legacy Square. The Legacy Project involves the new construction of a 100% affordable multifamily apartment complex consisting of
92 units of rental housing and one (1) manager’s unit. All units will be affordable to households earning less than 60% AMI of which 33
units will be set-aside for permanent supportive housing. The location of the project is at 609 North Spurgeon Street.
5) Commit 25 project-based vouchers to one or more projects for the development of new affordable housing opportunities.
The projects above are consistent with the PHA Plan because each project will the most vulnerable members of the community with affordable and
permanent supportive housing opportunities. Relative to issuing tenant-based vouchers, project-basing vouchers allows vulnerable families at 30%
AMI or people experiencing homelessness to move into a unit directly instead of searching and competing for a unit in the private market. It is
more efficient and effective to serve extremely low-income families and people experiencing homelessness through project-basing because: 1) the
family does not have to compete in the private market for a limited number of vacant units; 2) wrap-around supportive services are provided on-site
for people experiencing homelessness with an economy of scale for on-site service providers; and 3) new affordable housing opportunities are
created when project-based vouchers are leveraged with other sources of financing.
B.3 Most Recent Fiscal Year Audit.
(a) Were there any findings in the most recent FY Audit?

Progress Report.
Provide a description of the PHA’s progress in meeting its Mission and Goals described in its 5-Year PHA Plan.
Goal # 1: Fully utilize all funding provided by HUD and apply for additional funding to serve the most vulnerable members of our
community.
Objective # 1: Utilize 100% of the Annual Budget Authority provided by HUD for each CY.
SAHA utilized 100.4% of our Annual Budget Authority from HUD for CY 2021.
Objective # 2: Apply for new funding opportunities for additional vouchers.
In June 2021, SAHA received an award of eighty-nine (89) new Emergency Housing Vouchers awarded under PIH Notice 2021-15.
Goal # 2: Expand participation in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program for families to use as a platform to obtain self-sufficiency and
independence from our assistance.
Objective # 1: Expand the number of active participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
The number of active participants in the Family Self-Sufficiency Program decreased from 122 families enrolled to 106. The COVID-19
pandemic impacted our capacity and ability to outreach to new participants. However, the number of mandatory slots for SAHA
decreased by one (1) from 60 to 59 total mandatory slots. The percent of families enrolled over mandatory slots is equal to 180% and
78% of families have an escrow account balance in the program.
SAHA continued sending a monthly electronic Family Self-Sufficiency Program newsletters to our participants who have provided us
with their e-mail addresses. Each newsletter features a Story of Success for a family who is participating in the program. In addition,
SAHA also provided an annual calendar to all of our participants with a Story of Success for each month.
Objective # 2: Assist Family Self-Sufficiency Program participants to become self-sufficient and graduate from the program.
During this Fiscal year, one (1) participant graduated from the Family Self-Sufficiency Program.
Goal # 3: Ensure the accuracy, integrity and compliance of all voucher program operations.
Objective # 1: Retain High Performer SEMAP status.
SAHA was certified as a High Performer for FY 20-21. SAHA audited a total of 273 files under SEMAP Indicator # 3, even though the
minimum sample size required by HUD was only 35 files. For SEMAP Indicator # 5, SAHA conducted a total of 46 quality control
inspections even though the minimum sample size required by HUD was only 34 quality control inspections.
Goal # 4: Increase assisted housing choices by providing quality customer service to existing landlords and conducting outreach to new
landlords.
Objective # 1: Communicate on a regular basis with active landlords by providing information on key program updates.
During this Fiscal Year SAHA e-mailed a newsletter in December and January.
Objective # 2: Maintain active participation in the Orange County Apartment Association and attend local events to promote participation in the
program.
SAHA renewed our membership with the Orange County Apartment Association. Local events were cancelled due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Goal # 5: Provide equal opportunity, affirmatively further fair housing and provide regular training on fair housing for staff, owners and
participants.
Objective # 1: Provide an annual mandatory training for all Housing Authority staff.
On August 27, 2021, SAHA held an annual Fair Housing Training for all Housing Division employees. This annual training is required
for all employees.
Objective # 2: Provide information on fair housing to owners and participants.
SAHA provided information on fair housing to owners and participants.
Goal # 6: Provide information on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2013 to active participants and owners to ensure protection
for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking.
SAHA provided information on VAWA to all program applicants, participants and landlords.

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 February 2, 2022, with responses incorporated into the Annual Plan, as
required by HUD regulations.
D. HUD regulations require a forty-five (45) day public comment period. On
February 19, 2022, notification was published in the San Bernardino Sun that the draft
plan was available for public review. On February 23, 2022, notification was also
published in the Orange County Register and La Opinion newspapers, and on February
24, 2022, notification was further published in the Nguoi Viet newspaper, that the draft
plan was available for public review. The public comment period ended on April 5,
2022. Further, a public hearing was held by the Housing Authority on April 5, 2022, 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 Year 2022-2023 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
Authority Board, and the Recording Secretary for the Authority shall attest to and certify the
vote adopting this Resolution.
