GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION At its Regular Meeting on March 27, 2024, 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 (FY) 2024-25 Annual Action Plan. No comments were received during the meeting. The Community Development Commission recommended approval of the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG Programs to the City Council by a vote of 5:0. 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) 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 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) 2024–25 and seeks to allocate funding where programs and resources will have the maximum positive impact (Exhibit 1). The Annual Action Plan describes the intended use of the City’s federal entitlement grants specifically for FY 2024-25. For FY 2024-25, the City anticipates to receive $4,808,057 in CDBG program funds, $1,605,667 in HOME program funds, and $447,249 in ESG program funds from HUD: Program Allocation CDBG $4,808,057 HOME $1,605,667 ESG $447,249 TOTAL $6,860,973 FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs May 7, 2024 Page 3 4 2 1 2 The various projects and programs covered under the FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan are designed to serve low-income residents. The FY 2024-25 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 and 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 anticipated CDBG allocation for FY 2024-25, is $4,808,057 plus $223,848 in program income and $425,915 re-allocation of prior years’ CDBG funds for a total of $5,457,820. The proposed FY 2024-25 CDBG Program Funding Plan consists of the CDC funding recommendations for nonprofit public service programs and staff’s funding recommendations from this year for administration and planning, code enforcement, city capital improvements, and housing. The CDBG Program Funding Plan can be summarized in two general categories: 1) Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan; and 2) Public Services. A summary of the process and allocation for the FY 2024-25 CDBG Program is provided below for both general categories. Capital Projects/CDBG Program Funding Plan The FY 2024-25 CDBG Program Funding Plan includes the funding allocations for administration and planning, code enforcement in low and 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 grants (Exhibit 2). The CDBG allowable cap of 20% for administration and fair housing services is estimated to be $961,611 for FY 2024-25. Administration is necessary for staffing, compliance, reporting, fiscal management, studies, and monitoring of the entire program. Fair housing is necessary due to CDBG requirements that the City affirmatively further fair housing. Six new city capital improvement projects are recommended for funding for a total of $2,350,000, which includes the following: 1) $1,000,000 for Logan/Chepas Park construction 2) $300,000 Rehabilitation of Parking Facilities 3) $400,000 Sidewalk Improvements 4) $100,000 Cool Pavement Treatment (Angels Park) 5) $100,000 Cool Pavement Treatment (El Salvador Park) 6) $450,000 Outdoor Library at Jerome Park – Pedestrian Walking Trails FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs May 7, 2024 Page 4 4 2 1 2 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. These determinations come subsequent to the City's internal application process, ensuring a thorough assessment and alignment with overarching objectives. 2024 CDBG Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount CDBG Program Administration and Fair Housing $ 961,611 Code Enforcement - Enforcement of Housing and Municipal Building Codes $ 825,000 Economic Development $ 100,000 Non-Profit Public Services $ 721,209 Public Facility Improvements, Streets, and Parks $ 2,350,000 Single-Family Housing Rehabilitation $ 500,000 TOTAL $ 5,457,820 City Department 2024-25 Award Community Development Agency - Administration of the CDBG Program.

For the fiscal years 2024-25 and 2025-26, totaling $1,442,416, the City is providing the entire estimated public service allocation to nonprofit organizations for programs with an emphasis on crime prevention, intervention, and suppression for children, youth, and families, economic development, tenant services assistance and programs, health services, and senior services (Exhibit 3). Once the City receives the actual CDBG allocations for FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 from HUD, the approved CDBG public service allocation will be increased or decreased in proportion to the actual grant allocation. Should the increase in funding be enough to fund additional nonprofits at the minimum funding level, funds will be allocated to the next highest scoring organization(s). Any remainder will be distributed to already high performing organizations in proportion to their actual grant allocation.

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 anticipated HOME allocation for FY 2024-25 is $1,605,667. The proposed Annual Action Plan for the HOME Program consists of the FY allocation, program income, and prior year HOME resources. The large carryover of prior year resources ($8,649,795) is due to the lengthy development process for affordable housing developments. Staff has also been seeking proposals for affordable homeownership opportunities with the current balance of funds. In this Annual Action Plan, funds are proposed for program administration, the required set-aside for CHDOs, and funds for affordable housing development and rehabilitation. 2024 HOME Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount HOME Program Administration $160,567 HOME CHDO Set-Aside $240,850 Affordable Housing Development and Rehabilitation $1,204,250 Prior Year Resources $8,649,795 TOTAL $10,255,462 The FY 2024-25 HOME Program Funding Plan is not attached as an exhibit because the funding plan is described in the table above. FY 2024-25 Annual Action Plan and Budgets for CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs May 7, 2024 Page 7 4 2 1 2 Emergency Solutions Grant The Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) program provides funds to assist both sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals, as well as those on the brink of homelessness, enabling them to swiftly 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: the 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 jointly 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 ESG Collaborative). The ESG Collaborative accepted applications until December 10, 2019, with supplemental applications and stipulations required for both the City of Santa Ana and Anaheim. The RFP also included a provision for up to four, one-year renewals, that could be exercised independently by each Collaborative member. The Collaborative has opted to exercise its last renewal option for FY 2024-25. Although funding recommendations are made collaboratively, ESG funds must be used to provide eligible activities within each respective jurisdiction in which they are funded. Subrecipients awarded funding in FY 2023-24 and interested in FY 2024-25 funding were required to submit a revised budget and program summary. The City's projected ESG allocation for FY 2024-25 is $447,249. The proposed FY 2024-25 ESG Program Funding Plan includes a list of homeless service providers recommended for funding for FY 2024-25 (Exhibit 4). These funding recommendations are based upon applications received during the 2019 RFP process, taking into account performance metrics 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: 2024 ESG Program Budget General Activity Funding Amount ESG Program Administration $33,544 Homeless Street Outreach $50,000 Homeless Emergency Shelter $80,000 Homeless Prevention $25,000 Rapid Re-housing $155,000 ESG Data Collection Management (HMIS)$103,705 TOTAL $447,249 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.

This plan, marking the fourth year within the overarching Fiscal Years 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan (Con Plan), is ratified by the City Council and approved by HUD. Aligned with HUD’s overarching national agenda, these grant initiatives aim to foster equitable access to decent housing, cultivate a supportive living environment, and promote economic empowerment, particularly for low-and moderate-income individuals and families. To optimize the utilization of finite grant resources, the Action Plan strategically prioritizes areas and population segments with the highest levels of need, aiming to invest in high-leverage opportunities where data indicates the city can maximize the impact of each dollar invested. The Action Plan draws upon the priority needs identified in the 2020 – 2024 Consolidated Plan process, which outlined the city’s key needs and established allocation priorities, along with specific measurable goals to be addressed over the five-year period. It's worth noting that HUD has announced the FY2024 allocations, and the budgets outlined in this Annual Action Plan reflect the actuals based on the FY2024 allocation. 2.Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location.

Introduction As part of the comprehensive 5-year Consolidated Planning process, the City of Santa Ana engaged in extensive consultations with representatives from diverse agencies, groups, and organizations deeply involved in various facets of community development. This inclusive approach aimed to address critical areas such as affordable housing, job creation for low- and moderate-income individuals, and provision of essential services to vulnerable populations, including children, elderly persons, individuals with disabilities, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and those experiencing homelessness. To ensure robust participation and capture a wide range of perspectives, the City utilized multiple avenues for soliciting feedback, including:  Stakeholder/resident surveys  Individual stakeholder consultations  Community meetings  Public hearings  30-day public comment period  Receipt of written comments Through these channels, the City actively sought input from a broad spectrum of stakeholders, fostering dialogue and collaboration to address the diverse needs of the community. The consultation process encompassed engagement with various agencies, groups, and organizations dedicated to housing, community development, and economic empowerment. The invaluable insights garnered from these consultations played a pivotal role in shaping the objectives and goals outlined in the Strategic Plan, ensuring alignment with the community's priorities and aspirations. Below is a representation of the agencies, groups, and organizations consulted, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the engagement process. 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(l)) 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. EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 7 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and 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. EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 Collaborative works very closely with the Continuum of Care.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting 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 2024/25 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 2024/25 Annual Action Plan was available for public comment for a minimum 30-day period (March 15 – April 15, 2024). The Community Development Commission held a public hearing on March 27, 2024 providing residents and interested parties another opportunity to comment on the 2024/25 Annual Action Plan prior to approval by the City Council on May 7, 2024 and submittal to HUD. The table on the subsequent page documents the City’s approach to resident engagement.

The City of Santa Ana anticipates that it will continue to receive CDBG, HOME, and ESG funding during the duration of this Co nsolidated 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: $4,808,057  HOME: $1,605,667  ESG: $ 447,249 All proposed activities’ budgets will be proportionally increased or decreased from the estimated funding levels to match actual allocation mounts. On February 28, 2023 HUD released he FY22 CPD program formula for the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. The allocations reflect a nearly 4.5% cut to CDBG in FY23, increased funding for HOME, level funding for ESG program. The City’s actual allocations are as follows: CDBG – EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) $4,808,057 HOME – $1,605,667 and ESG – $447,249 Anticipated Resources Program Source of Funds Uses of Funds Expected Amount Available Year 1 Expected Amount Available Remainder of ConPlan $ Narrative Description Annual Allocation: $ Program Income: $ Prior Year Resources: $ Total: $ CDBG public - federal Acquisition Admin and Planning Economic Development Housing Public Improvements Public Services 4,808,057 223,848 425,915 5,457,820 4,032,409 Funding to support housing, community and economic development activities throughout Santa Ana.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 40 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 acknowledges the inherent limitations of its annual entitlement in addressing the multifaceted needs of the community. Recognizing this shortfall, the City adopts a proactive approach to leverage resources effectively in pursuit of its objectives. Collaborating closely with private, state, and local partners, the City endeavors to maximize the impact of its HUD CPD funds. In the case of the ESG program, stringent matching requirements are imposed on sub-recipients, ensuring that funding is augmented by additional resources. These requirements necessitate sub-recipients to demonstrate matching dollars both prior to funding and at each quarterly invoice. To bolster ESG funds, strategic partnerships are forged with entities like the OC Collaborative, while exploring supplementary funding avenues tailored to support programs addressing homelessness. This includes leveraging opportunities with resources like the Housing Choice Voucher Program and HOME funds. The City administration fully grasps the inadequacy of relying solely on annual entitlements and formula allocations to address its comprehensive needs. Hence, it actively pursues funding partnerships capable of complementing its investments in CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs. Given the persistent demand for affordable housing and vital services, the City proactively seeks additional funding streams from state grants and diverse public and private entities. Furthermore, matching requirements are meticulously fulfilled through a combination of eligible financial resources and in-kind services, a practice the City remains committed to perpetuating. Moving forward, the City will persist in seeking both financial and non-financial matches to optimize the utilization of available resources and augment the impact of its initiatives. EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 41 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) If appropriate, describe publically 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 2101 N Spurgeon Street (also identified as 302 E.

HUD has not yet announced the FY2024 allocations and the budgets listed in this Annual Action Plan are estimates based on the FY2023 allocation. The City of Santa Ana will proportionally adjust each project allocation in accordance with the final allocation announcements from HUD. Projects # Project Name Table 7 - Project Information 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.

In assessing prospective initiatives and endeavors, the city will diligently design projects to give precedence to neighborhoods with a significant concentration of low- and moderate-income inhabitants. The accompanying map delineates Census block groups where a minimum of 51% of residents fall within this income bracket, serving as a guide for prioritizing funding allocation in these areas. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Citywide 100 Table 8 - Geographic Distribution Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The City will spend more than 70 percent of its entitlement funds in areas or for persons that are predominately low and moderate income. All CDBG-funded public service programs and HOME-funded affordable housing projects will be available to eligible persons citywide. The City identified community needs such as improvements to public facilities, insufficient social and homeless related services, and dilapidated housing conditions within these neighborhoods. The entitlement funds will help address these community needs. Discussion In Santa Ana, the allocation of funding isn't bound by specific target areas. Instead, the city prioritizes funding based on meeting community needs while adhering to HUD regulations and requirements.

Several challenges impede the expansion of affordable housing in Santa Ana. 1. he disparity between income and housing costs, coupled with the overall cost of living, poses a significant hurdle. 2. Federal resources allocated to programs like the Section 8 Program fall short of the actual need within the community. 3. Attaining homeownership remains unattainable for a large portion of Santa Ana residents. 4. Scarce housing vacancies contribute to escalating rental prices. 5. High land costs and a shortage of vacant land hinder future growth opportunities. 6. Various obstacles to achieving Fair Housing goals persist. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is presently reviewing the City's Housing Element for the 6th cycle. Scheduled for adoption by the City Council in May 2022, the Housing Element will subsequently undergo certification by HCD. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effect s 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 remains steadfast in its commitment to actively support the development and preservation of affordable housing, while actively seeking opportunities to harness additional state, local, or non- governmental funding resources to expand housing options citywide. By diligently adhering to AB 1486, known as the Surplus Lands Act, and continually monitoring state land availability as outlined in Executive Order N-06-19, the City is poised to identify underutilized parcels primed for potential affordable housing project. With the recent update to the Housing Element for the 6th cycle, Santa Ana has integrated AB 686 requirements for fair housing into an Assessment of Fair Housing appendix. Through this comprehensive process, the City has delineated city-specific and regional objectives aimed at surmounting barriers to affordable housing and promoting fair housing practices. The primary aim of this assessment is to EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 57 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) ensure equitable housing choices for all residents, with a dual focus on preventing discrimination and mitigating housing segregation. Santa Ana remains dedicated to realizing the objectives outlined in the Assessment of Fair Housing, diligently working towards fostering inclusive and equitable housing opportunities for its diverse population.

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.

Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan. 0.00% EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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 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. 5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). 6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). 7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a). EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 64 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. Current subrecipients awarded funding for renewal yaers 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 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 EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) 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. n/a EXHIBIT 1 Annual Action Plan 2024 66 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) EXHIBIT 1 2024-2025 CDBG Funding Plan PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION & PLANNING $ 961,611 Administration and Planning $ 886,611 Fair Housing Council of OC $ 75,000 CODE ENFORCEMENT $ 825,000 Community Preservation Code Enforcement $ 825,000 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT $ 100,000 New Business Start-Up/Micro Enterprise Grants $ 100,000 NONPROFIT PUBLIC SERVICES $ 721,209 AIDS Services Foundation of OC dba Radiant Health Centers $ 40,000 America on Track $ 40,000 Community Health Initiative Orange County $ 40,000 Community Legal Aid SoCal $ 40,000 Delhi Center in collaboration with Universtiy of Irvine $ 71,209 Girls Inc of Orange County $ 40,000 Human Options $ 40,000 Lutheran Social Services of SoCal $ 40,000 MOMs OC $ 40,000 Nati's House dba Neutral Ground (Summer Night Lights) $ 40,000 OC Children's Therapeutic Arts Center $ 40,000 Project Hope Alliance $ 50,000 StandUP for Kids OC $ 40,000 Straight Talk Clinic, Inc $ 40,000 Templo Calvario $ 40,000 United Cerebral Palsy Association of OC dba Unlimited Possibilities $ 40,000 WISEPlace $ 40,000 CITY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS $ 2,350,000 Chepas Park Construction $ 1,000,000 Rehabilitation of Parking Facilities $ 300,000 PWA Sidewalks $ 400,000 Cool Pavement Treatment (Angels Park) $ 100,000 Cool Pavement Treatment (El Salvador Park) $ 100,000 Outdoor Library Jerome Park-Pedestrian Walking Trails $ 450,000 Housing $ 500,000 Single Family Rehab-City $ 500,000 TOTAL $ 5,457,820 EXHIBIT 2 FY 2024-26 CDBG Program Funding Plan - Program Summaries Administration & Planning Organization Project Title One-year award Description City of Santa Ana Community Development Agency (CDA) CDBG Program Administration $866,611 The program will provide for the overall administration of the CDBG Program, to include: preparation and submission of required contracts with HUD, submission of all reporting requirements, provision of individual project oversight, monitoring of all project implementation and ongoing completion, and fiscal management and oversight.
