The CalHome Program is a multi-faceted homeownership and rehabilitation
program created by the State of California. Its purpose is to make funds
available to local public agencies or nonprofit corporations for a variety
of programs that benefit low and very low-income households. The City of
Santa Ana is currently the recipient of $350,000 in grant funds awarded
through the Manufactured Housing component of the CalHome Program. Those
funds have been spent or committed to qualified mobile homeowners.

CalHome Program Application
September 7, 2004
Page 2
The California Department of Housing and Community Development recently
announced the availability of an additional $30 million through the CalHome
Program. Under the proposed application, the City of Santa Ana is
requesting $500, 000 to continue to fund the CalHome Rehabilitation and
Replacement Housing Program. If awarded, the grant will be used to fund
rehabilitation loans to qualified owners of single-family homes and mobile
homes located in the City of Santa Ana. Loan funds will be used to correct
unsafe, unhealthy or unsanitary conditions in both single-family homes and
mobile homes. The grant would also be used to continue to fund the
Replacement Manufactured Housing component of our existing CalHome Program.
If awarded, the funds from this application will be used to augment and
expand the single-family and mobile home rehabilitation programs currently
offered by the City and the Community Redevelopment Agency. Augmentation
of these programs with additional CalHome Program funds will help to
increase the number of homes occupied by very low and low-income households
that are free of code deficiencies and in livable condition.
