DISCUSSION
Since 1993, the City of Santa Ana has received federal funds through the
U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program to be used
countywide. The HOPWA Program is designed to provide resources and
incentives for long-term comprehensive strategies to meet the housing
needs of persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HUD
has allocated $1,359,000 to the City of Santa Ana for the fiscal year
2006-2007.
Eligible acti vi ties for the HOPWA Program include: 1) new construction,
acquisi tion and rehabilitation of affordable housing; 2) provision of
tenant-based rental assistance; 3) short-term rental and mortgage payment
assistance to prevent homelessness; 4) supportive social services and
housing information services; 5) technical assistance; and 6)
administrative expenses incurred by jurisdictions coordinating local
programs. In allocating grant funds for eligible activities, the City of
Santa Ana is required to consider the service needs of eligible persons
who reside throughout Orange County and approve funding for projects
which may be located anywhere within the County.
In order to ensure that the limited funds are prioritized, City staff has
worked closely with the Housing Committee of the Orange County HIV
Planning Council, the HIV Planning Council, and agencies throughout the
County of Orange providing services to the HIV/AIDS community. On
January 9, 2006, a strategic planning meeting was held to determine
priorities for the fiscal year 2006-2007 funds. Representatives from the
Orange County Health Care Agency, service providers from throughout the
county, HIV/AIDS infected and affected individuals and City staff
participated in the meeting.
Based on the strategic planning meeting, the 2006-2007 fiscal year
funding recommendations were established. The recommended funding levels
are: 1) $550,000 to continue the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program
with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa who will subcontract with
AIDS Services Foundation Orange County to administer the wait list; and
2) $789,000 to the Orange County Health Care Agency for supportive
housing services to individuals throughout Orange County; and 3) $40,770
for administrative costs. These amounts include $20,770 in reallocated
funds from the 2005-2006 funding year.
