GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: Yes
DISCUSSION
City of Santa Ana (City) has received four rounds of Homeless Housing Assistance, and
Prevention Program (HHAP) funding from the State of California. As part of this funding,
a minimum of 10% must be allocated as a “youth set-aside” to address the needs of
homeless youth. This requirement focuses on serving individuals ages 18 to 24 who are
experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. For HHAP Round 4 (HHAP-4),
the City selected Rapid Re-Housing and Services Coordination as the funded activities
to address this 10% youth-set aside requirement. Please see the chart below for how
the City allocated the 10% youth set-aside:
Activities Funded by HHAP 4 Funds Percentage Allocated
Shelter Operations 45%
Street Outreach 45%
Rapid Rehousing – Youth Set-aside 5%
Services Coordination – Youth Set-aside 5%
Rapid Re-Housing and Services Coordination aim to help individuals who are either
experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless to transition quickly into
secure housing. They assist with move-in costs, short-term rental subsidies, and

support services designed to help individuals and families maintain stable housing once
they have moved into a home or are at risk of losing their housing. These services aim
to prevent homelessness or repeated episodes of homelessness by addressing the root
causes that may lead to housing instability. Supportive services aimed at breaking the
cycle include short- and medium-term rental assistance to help youth at risk of eviction
or homelessness, along with security deposit assistance to reduce financial barriers to
move-in. Housing Navigation services will support participants in locating and applying
for safe, affordable housing, while staff will also engage landlords, resolve tenancy
issues, and provide move-in essentials such as furniture and household items. Each
youth will receive individualized case management to help set and achieve goals related
to housing, employment, health, and education. In addition, participants will benefit from
life skills training in budgeting, cooking, cleaning, time management, and conflict
resolution to support independent living. Employment support includes resume-building
workshops, job readiness training, access to paid internships, and referrals to
employment programs, all aimed at promoting long-term stability and self-sufficiency.
Providing both rental subsidies and support services together in one program will place
youth in a better position to address the challenges that may have contributed to their
homelessness.
The City released a Request for Proposal (RFP #24-067A) on May 7, 2024, to secure
these specific services only for homeless youth. The RFP was posted on the City’s
PlanetBids portal and 23 organizations were notified either because they had previously
expressed interest or were identified by staff as potentially eligible. Several of these
organizations are based in the City of Santa Ana. However, only one organization
submitted a proposal in response to this RFP.
The City reviewed the submitted proposal and conducted a minimum threshold
evaluation to ensure compliance with the RFP requirements. Following this evaluation,
a Review Panel was formed consisting of staff from the Community Development
Agency, and an in-person interview was conducted. The table below summarizes the
results of the evaluation, providing the average score for the proposal.
Proposal Submitted By Average Score*
StandUp for Up Kids, Orange County 93.00
* Maximum score was 100 points
StandUp for Kids was the sole respondent to the RFP and submitted a comprehensive
proposal to provide rapid rehousing and service coordination for homeless Transition
Age Youth (TAY) and those at imminent risk of homelessness. The organization
demonstrated a strong track record of working with youth experiencing housing
instability, and their proposal reflected a clear understanding of the unique challenges
faced by this population. Their application outlined a well-structured service model,
including housing navigation, case management, employment support, and life skills
development, aligned with the goals of the City’s homeless services strategy.
Additionally, StandUp for Kids provided evidence of existing partnerships, a qualified

support a minimum of 28 homeless or at-risk Santa Ana youth between the ages of 18

StandUp for Kids is devoted to preventing youth homelessness before it reaches a
critical point. They will conduct weekly street outreach throughout the City in areas
where homeless youth gather (e.g., malls, theaters, parks, campuses, etc.). StandUp for
Kids will work to ensure the early identification of at-risk and foster youth by maintaining
a large referral network with law enforcement, foster care agencies, healthcare
agencies, hotlines, and youth organizations. StandUp for Kids is a current contractor
with the City and is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. Their existing program supports homeless students by providing a personalized
path to self-sufficiency. A trained case manager and mentor from StandUp for Kids
meets with each youth on campus twice a week, offering basic services, consistent
adult mentorship, and academic tutoring to support graduation and long-term stability.
The program set an annual goal to serve 25 students and, as of the end of the third
quarter, has already served 27—exceeding its performance target. Based on current
performance and outcomes, StandUp for Kids has demonstrated effectiveness in
delivering meaningful services to youth in need.
Although this organization does not have a physical location in the City, they are easily
accessible by phone and through referrals and homeless referral networks.
StandUp for Kids will collaborate with county service agencies to efficiently source key
services for clients and provide the City with additional options for serving homeless
youth. Over the past 20 years, StandUp for Kids has established strong partnerships
while serving homeless and at-risk youth in Orange County. They will partner with
various county-wide agencies to identify Santa Ana at-risk youth in the City as early as
possible, including OC 211, the OC TAY (Transition Aged Youth) Collaborative, the
Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force, OC United to End Homelessness
(through United Way), and CityNet. StandUp for Kids coordinates services through the
Orange County Continuum of Care (CoC) and its Coordinated Entry System (CES),
referring clients to CES's participating agencies, including emergency shelters,
transitional living, rapid re-housing, and permanent supportive housing resources.
