COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its Regular Meeting on March 3, 2021, the Community Development Commission 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 2021-22 Annual Action Plan. No comments were received during the meeting.
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) 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 for 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 2020, the Five-Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2020
to June 30, 2024 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) 2021–2022 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 2021-2022. For FY 2021-2022, the City will receive $5,558,720 in
CDBG program funds, $1,706,231 in HOME program funds and $489,141 in ESG
program funds from HUD:
Program Allocation
CDBG $5,558,720
HOME $1,706,231
ESG $ 489,141
TOTAL $7,754,092
In addition, the City will re-program $612,779 of prior-year CDBG program resources.
The various projects and programs covered under the FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
are designed to serve low-income residents. The FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan
includes the program budgets described in detail below for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG
programs respectively. In previous years, staff recommended approval of the program

budgets for the CDBG and ESG program in two separate staff reports. This is the first
year in which all three budgets for the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs have been
combined into one single staff report. Since all three programs are included in the City’s
Annual Action Plan, staff combined all three program budgets into one staff report. This
is consistent with how other similarly sized cities approve their Annual Action Plan and
funding allocations for the CBDG, HOME and ESG programs.
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 CDBG
allocation for Grant Year (GY) 2021, FY 2021-2022, is $5,558,720.
The proposed FY 2021-2022 CDBG Program and Funding Plan consists of the CDC
funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs from 2020 and staff’s
funding recommendations from this year 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. A summary of the process and allocation
for the FY 2021-2022 CDBG Program is provided below for both general categories.
Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan
The FY 2021-2022 CDBG Program Funding Plan includes the funding allocations for
administration and planning, code enforcement in low- to moderate-income areas of the
city to address health and safety violations, economic development to provide small
business grants, nonprofit public services, city capital improvement projects and single-
family rehabilitation loans (Exhibit 2). The CDBG allowable cap of 20 percent for
administration and fair housing services is estimated to be $1,111,744 for FY 2021-2022.
Administration is necessary for staffing, compliance, reporting, fiscal management, and
monitoring of the entire program. Fair housing is necessary due to CDBG requirements
that the City affirmatively further fair housing. Four new city capital improvement projects
are recommended for funding, which include the following:
1) $554,582 for ADA curb ramp improvements in CDBG eligible areas.
2) $1,100,000 for residential street improvement in the Heninger Neighborhood.
3) $600,000 for Phase II of the Santa Anita Park Improvements.
4) $400,000 for sidewalk improvements in CDBG eligible areas.
5) $300,000 for active transportation safety improvements to enhance the safety of
the local community with the installation of pedestrian hybrid rapid flashing
beacons.

The proposed programs and capital improvement projects have been determined to be
of highest priority and need by the Executive Directors of the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Agency, Public Works Agency, and Community Development
Agency, following the City’s internal application process.

HOME Investment Partnerships Grant Program Budget
The HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) program provides funds for a wide range of
housing-related activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable
housing for rent or homeownership, or providing direct tenant-based rental assistance to
low-income residents. 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% 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 requirements pertaining
to their legal status, organizational structure, and capacity and experience.
The City’s HOME allocation for GY 2021, FY 2021-2022 is $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 ($6,883,000)
is due to the lengthy development process for affordable housing developments. While
funds may be pre-committed for a project, they may not be committed until certain
requirements are met including underwriting, subsidy layering, and project assessment
requirements.
In this Annual Action Plan funds are proposed for single-family rehabilitation of mobile
homes, the required set-aside for CHDOs, and funds for affordable housing development
and rehabilitation. The funds for affordable housing development and rehabilitation
($8,381,309) 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 9 HOME-
assisted units at the Westview House project, as 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 2021-2022. The budget below only includes those
funds that are being budgeted for FY 2021-2022:

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
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 Collaborative chose to exercise this renewal option for FY 2021-2022. 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 2020-2021 and interested in FY 2021-2022 funding, were required to re-submit a
budget and program summary for FY 2021-2022 ESG funding.
The City’s ESG allocation for GY 2021, FY 2021-2022 is $489,141. The proposed FY
2021-2022 ESG Program and Funding Plan includes a list of homeless service providers
recommended for funding for FY 2021-2022 (Exhibit 4). The funding recommendations
are based upon applications received during the 2019 RFP process, 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:

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 3, 2021 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 will be held before the Santa Ana City Council
on May 4, 2021 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 April 4, 2021, a public
notice was published in the Orange County Register that the draft Annual Action Plan
was available for review and comment beginning April 4, 2021, and that a public hearing
would be held on May 4, 2021. The public hearing was also noticed in La Opinión in
Spanish and Nguoi Viet in Vietnamese. The 30-day public comment period will conclude
on May 4, 2021. All comments received, including all funding recommendations made by
the City Council, will be included in the final document. The deadline for submission of
the FY 2021-2022 Annual Action Plan to HUD is no later than May 15, 2021, 45-days
before the end of the City’s Fiscal Year.

Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction
The 2021-22 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) during the fiscal year 2021-2022. 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.
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
Promote economic opportunity
Improve City public facilities and infrastructure
Consistent with HUD’s national goals for HUD CPD programs to provide decent housing opportunities,
maintain a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income
EXHIBIT 1
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 2020 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. Activities included rental assistance,
small and microbusiness support, homeless prevention, and targeted public service activities.
Additionally, during the 2020 program year, the City funded the following activities:
1. Renovation of the Santa Ana Main Library to improve weatherproofing and install new windows
throughout the facility
2. Construct a new park at the corner of Raitt and Myrtle Streets
3. Graffiti and Vandalism abatement
4. Public service activities to support youth, seniors, disabled individuals, and low- and moderate-
income residents within the City
5. Code enforcement in targeted neighborhoods
6. Homeless services and prevention activities
7. Housing rehabilitation activities to low- and moderate-income households
8. Downpayment assistance to low- and moderate-income households
Additional funding from program year 2020 was reserved for future affordable housing developments
and activities.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
1. 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.

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.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
EXHIBIT 1
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.

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
Santa Ana uses a place-based strategy during the planning period. The geographic distribution of
funding is predicated somewhat on the nature of the activity to be funded. It is the City’s intent to fund
activities in the areas most directly affected by the needs of low-income residents and those with other
special needs. The Annual Action Plan directs investment geographically to an area benefit
neighborhood. The City will continue to work closely with its partners to identify and overcome any
obstacles to address the needs of underserved populations.

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
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 transition 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 wh o 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. In 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
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. The California Department of Housing and Community has certified
Santa Ana’s Housing Element. In addition, the City of Santa Ana is currently updating its Analysis of
Impediments to Fair Housing Choice to ensure the City is affirmatively furthering fair housing for all
residents of Santa Ana.
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.
Santa Ana participated in an update to the County’s Regional Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing
Choice for the period of 2020 – 2024 in the spring of 2020. 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 City will continue to work to meeting the goals and
objectives set forth in the Analysis of Impediments update.
EXHIBIT 1
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 mor e
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 lad 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
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.

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 Santa
Ana will follow all HUD regulations concerning the program elements of the CDBG, HOME, and ESG
programs.

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
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 20-21 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
and/or issue a new RFP at its discretion
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 C FR
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.
