DISCUSSION
In October 2019, City Council approved an agreement with City Net to provide a pilot
program for street outreach and engagement services for individuals experiencing
homelessness in Santa Ana. Following their early successes, the initial pilot agreement
was amended to increase the dollar amount and extend the term of the agreement. Since
that time, City Net has provided over 7,000 outreach contacts with individuals on the
streets of Santa Ana. In addition, they have successfully exited over 650 individuals off
of the street.
City Net continues to be one of the largest street outreach nonprofit organizations in
Southern California. They have worked on several of the most visible homeless
encampments in Southern California, including the following: the Santa Ana River Trail,
the Civic Center Plaza of the Flags, and more recently, El Centro Cultural de Mexico.
They have been a tremendous partner working collaboratively with the Santa Ana Police
Department (SAPD), providing referrals to shelter, and providing case management for a
number of individuals experiencing homelessness in Santa Ana.
The City recently released a request for proposals (RFP) for continued outreach and
engagement services in the City. While staff reviews the submitted proposals and
considers an enhanced outreach program, an amendment to the current contract is

before the City Council again in the fall.
