DISCUSSION
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires housing
authorities that administer a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program to have a 5-Year
Plan and Annual Plan for the management and operation of the program. The general
purpose of the 5-Year Plan is to advise HUD, program participants, applicants, and
members of the public on SAHA's local policies, programs, operations, and strategies
for meeting local housing needs and goals.
This Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Housing Authority Annual Plan covers the second reporting
year of the 5-Year Plan adopted by the Santa Anan Housing Authority (SAHA) in 2025
and reports on the progress made relating to the following topics: (1) new activities to be
undertaken by the Housing Authority in the next reporting year (fiscal year 2026-2027);

Page 2
(2) findings from the most recent reporting year audit (fiscal year 2025-2026); and (3)
annual progress the Housing Authority has made in meeting the goals and objectives
described in the 5-Year Plan (Exhibit 1).
Regarding topics 1 through 3 in the Annual Plan, the following provides an update for
this fiscal year as follows:
(1) New Activities: SAHA will continue to focus on implementing and making
progress to achieve the goals and objectives in the adopted 5-Year Plan. No
additional activities are proposed.
(2) Audit Findings: SAHA continues to be in compliance with all housing regulations.
No audit findings.
(3) Annual Progress: SAHA successfully advanced its strategic goals and objectives
described in the 5-Year Plan as follows:
a. SAHA fully utilized the HUD funding as follows:
i. Achieved 102.7% utilization of its Annual Budget Authority, and
ii. Secured additional funding including 25 Foster Youth to
Independence vouchers and $312,475 in Mainstream Voucher
Program Set -Aside funds.
b. SAHA expanded self-sufficiency opportunities as follows:
i. 136 active Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) participants, and
ii. 15 FSS program graduates.
c. SAHA continued to strengthen landlord engagement and fair housing
compliance through monthly landlord newsletters, active participation in
industry organizations, and required fair housing training for staff.
d. SAHA exceeded HUD's quality control review requirements.
e. SAHA maintained strong program integrity by earning a High Performer
designation from HUD for the eighth year in a row.
SAHA staff actively sought community input for the development of the Fiscal Year
2026-2027 Housing Authority Annual Plan by hosting three (3) ad hoc Resident
Advisory Board meetings on February 6, 2026 with 50 HCV participants who receive
assistance from SAHA. The meetings were conducted in three (3) languages: English,
Spanish, and Vietnamese. There were 15 Vietnamese -speaking, 31 English-speaking,
and four Spanish-speaking participants who attended each meeting. The meeting
invitation was emailed to 1,667 HCV participants in English, Spanish, and
Vietnamese. The 50 members of the ad hoc Resident Advisory Board provided input
for the development of the Annual Plan. SAHA also conducted a survey that was e-
mailed to 1,667 HCV participants who have provided their e-mail address to SAHA. A
total of 21 responses were received to the survey.
The comments from the Resident Advisory Board and survey are attached to the
Annual Plan. Staff analyzed all of the recommendations from the Resident Advisory
Board and survey responses by: (1) considering the feasibility of each recommendation;
(2) discussing as a team how the SAHA could implement each recommendation; and
(3) making a determination on which recommendations could be implemented or
considered for future implementation. All of the recommendations were taken into
Housing Authority Annual Plan

consideration by staff and incorporated into the Annual Plan.
On January 30 and 31, 2026, a legal notice was published in the Orange County
Reporter, Nguoi Viet, and La Opinion advising the public that a draft of the Annual Plan
was available for public review and comment and a public hearing would be held on
March 17, 2026 (Exhibit 2). The Annual Plan was also made available on SAHA's
website, in the SAHA lobby, and at the reference desk in the Delhi Library. HUD's
federal regulations require a 45-day public comment period and the public comment
period ends on March 17, 2026. All public comments received will be included in the
Annual Plan submitted to HUD.

Revision of Existing PHA Plan Elements.
a) Have the following PHA Plan elements been revised by the PHA since its last Annual Plan submission?
Y N
❑ ❑✓ Statement of Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs.
❑ ❑✓ Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions.
❑ ❑✓ Financial Resources.
❑ ❑✓ Rent Determination.
❑✓ ❑ Operation and Management.
❑✓ ❑ Informal Review and Hearing Procedures.
❑ ❑✓ Homeownership Programs.

❑ ❑✓ Substantial Deviation.
❑✓ I❑ Significant Amendment/Modification.
(b) If the PHA answered yes for any element, describe the revisions for each element(s):
In 2016, HUD adopted the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) that made changes to statutes governing HUD
programs, including sections of the United States Housing Act of 1937, and improved the efficiency and effectiveness of HUD programs. The
Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (SAHA) completed a comprehensive HCV Administrative Plan update effective July 15, 2025 to
maintain compliance with HUD and HOTMA regulations, ensure program integrity, and preserve funding. SAHA prepared this update using a
model administrative plan provided by Nan McKay & Associates (Nan McKay) that is used by many PHAs throughout the country and
updates all of the Plan's policies and language in compliance with the latest guidance and regulations from HUD. Nan McKay updates their
model administrative plan every year, and the last time SAHA's Plan was comprehensively updated using a template was on March 15, 2016.
The Plan incorporates regulatory changes required under HOTMA Sections 102, 104, 105, 106, and 112 for determining income, calculating
deductions, and assessing eligibility. For example, the Plan introduces new requirements for calculating annual income and adjusted income,
including expanded definitions of assets, new treatment of student financial assistance, and updated policies for business income and
periodic payments. SAHA updated deduction amounts, such as the increased elderly/disabled family deduction, and added hardship
exemptions and permissive deductions per HUD's implementation guidance.
In addition to updates for HOTMA-specific provisions, the Plan aligns SAHA policies with the most current HUD regulations, notices, and
model administrative plan guidance. Entirely new sections were introduced, such as Chapter 6.6, which outlines Income and Subsidy
Determinations, and Chapter 7.A, which updates verification hierarchy and methods. The Plan incorporates updated guidance from HUD's
PIH Notices 2023-27, 2024-34, and 2024-38, amongst others, including verification procedures using Form HUD-9886-A, refined rules for
self -certification, and expanded use of enterprise income verification tools. Other changes ensure consistency with HUD's new NSPIRE
inspection standards (for future implementation), student eligibility, and the use of digital tools in briefings and application processes.
The Plan integrates new subsections, adds clarifying definitions, and improves organization for clarity and accessibility that provide greater
transparency for applicants, participants, and landlords, ensures fair and uniform application of HUD policies, and maintains SAHA's eligibility
for federal funding. Adopting this Plan allows SAHA to comply with federal law, implement modernized administrative practices, and better
serve program applicants, participants, landlords, and the broader Santa Ana community.

Plan, hereinafter referred to as "the Plan, " of which this document is a part, and make the following certification and agreements
with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the PHA fiscal year beginning 07/2026in which the PHA
receives assistance under 42 U.S.C. 1437f and/or 1437g in connection with the submission of the Plan and implementation thereof

such strategy) for the jurisdiction in which the PHA is located (24 CFR § 91.2).
2. The Plan contains a signed certification by the appropriate State or local official (form HUD-50077-SL) that the
Plan is consistent with the applicable Consolidated Plan, which includes any applicable fair housing goals or
strategies, for the PHA's jurisdiction and a description of the way the PHA Plan is consistent with the applicable
Consolidated Plan (24 CFR §§ 91.2, 91.225, 91.325, and 91.425).
3. The PHA has established a Resident Advisory Board or Boards, the membership of which represents the residents
assisted by the PHA, consulted with this Resident Advisory Board or Boards in developing the Plan, including
any changes or revisions to the policies and programs identified in the Plan before they were implemented, and
considered the recommendations of the Resident Advisory Board (24 CFR 903.13). The PHA has included in the
Plan submission a copy of the recommendations made by the Resident Advisory Board or Boards and a
description of the way the Plan addresses these recommendations.
4. The PHA provides assurance as part of this certification that:
i. The Resident Advisory Board had an opportunity to review and comment on the changes to the policies and
programs before implementation by the PHA;
ii. The changes were duly approved by the PHA Board of Directors (or similar governing body); and
iii. The revised policies and programs are available for review and inspection, at the principal office of the
PHA during normal business hours. Where possible, PHAs should make documents available
electronically, for public inspection upon request.
5. The PHA made the proposed Plan and all information relevant to the public hearing available for public
inspection at least 45 days before the hearing, published a notice that a hearing would be held and conducted a
hearing to discuss the Plan and invited public comment. The PHA ensured all notices and meetings provided
effective communication with persons with disabilities and further provided meaningful language access for
persons with Limited English Proficiency (LEP).
6. The PHA certifies that it will carry out the public housing program of the agency in conformity with Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000d-2000d--4), the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19), Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794), Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C.

requirements, and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the administration of all HUD programs. In
addition, if it administers a Housing Choice Voucher Program, the PHA certifies that it will administer the

and other applicable civil rights requirements, and that it will affirmatively further fair housing in the

seq., 24 CFR § 903.7(o), and 24 CFR § 903.15, which means that it will take meaningful actions, in addition to
combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from
barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics. Specifically, affirmatively furthering
Previous version is obsolete Pagel of 3 formHUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP (09/30/2027)
EXHIBIT 1
fair housing means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs
and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living
patterns, transforming racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering
and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws (24 CFR § 5.151). Pursuant to 24 CFR §
903.15(c)(2), a PHA's policies should be designed to reduce the concentration of tenants and other assisted
persons by race, national origin, and disability. PHA policies should include affirmative steps stated in 24 CFR §
903.15(c)(2)(i) and 24 CFR § 903.15(c)(2)(ii). Furthermore, under 24 CFR § 903.7(o), a PHA must submit a civil
rights certification with its Annual and 5-year PHA Plans, except for qualified PHAs who submit the Form HUD-
50077-CR as a standalone document. The PHA certifies that it will take no action that is materially inconsistent

the Housing Information Portal (HIP) in an accurate, complete and timely manner (as specified in PIH
Notice 2011-65);
• The system of site -based waiting lists provides for full disclosure to each applicant in the selection of the
development in which to reside, including basic information about available sites; and an estimate of the
period of time the applicant would likely have to wait to be admitted to units of different sizes and types
at each site;
• Adoption of a site -based waiting list would not violate any court order or settlement agreement or be
inconsistent with a pending complaint brought by HUD;
• The PHA shall take reasonable measures to assure that such a waiting list is consistent with affirmatively
furthering fair housing; and
• The PHA provides for review of its site -based waiting list policy to determine if it is consistent with civil
rights laws and certifications, as specified in 24 CFR 903.7(o)(1).
9. The PHA will comply with the prohibitions against discrimination based on age pursuant to the Age
Discrimination Act of 1975.
10. In accordance with the Fair Housing Act, the PHA will not base a determination of eligibility for
housing on actual or perceived sexual orientation, or marital status and will not otherwise discriminate
because of sex (including sexual orientation).

requirements under Section 12 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and the Contract Work Hours and Safety
Standards Act.
17. The PHA will keep records in accordance with 2 CFR 200.302 and facilitate an effective audit to determine
compliance with program requirements.
18. The PHA will comply with the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act, the Residential Lead -Based Paint
Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, and 24 CFR Part 35.
19. The PHA will comply with the policies, guidelines, and requirements of 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Financial Assistance, including but not
limited to submitting the assurances required under 24 CFR §§ 1.5, 3.115, 8.50, and 107.25 by submitting an SF-

Summary
Resident Advisory Board Housing Discussion
The meeting, hosted by Ruby from the City of Santa Ana, began promptly at 11 AM. Participants
were informed that the meeting would be recorded for internal purposes and that questions could
be submitted via chat. Ruby explained the purpose of the Resident Advisory Board meeting, which
is to gather input on the Housing Authority's annual plan and administrative plan. She encouraged
those who had already completed the SurveyMonkey to exit the meeting if they wished. The
meeting then moved to addressing housing needs, with participants asked to rank their top three
housing needs.
Improving SAHA Tenant Experiences
The meeting focused on gathering feedback from participants about their housing needs and
experiences with the Santa Ana Housing Authority (SAHA). Key issues discussed included parking
challenges, safety concerns related to drug activity and property management, communication
difficulties with housing specialists, and the need for accessible housing units for seniors and
disabled individuals. Participants also raised questions about documentation processing,
overpayment policies, and the potential for homeownership programs. The authority noted these
concerns and recommendations for improvement, emphasizing the need for better communication
and support for disabled and senior tenants.
Rent Policy and Housing Solutions
The meeting focused on discussing recommendations for rent determination policies and the family
self-sufficiency program. Aaron suggested including unearned income from stipends towards
monthly income for foster youth applying for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Emma
recommended hiring more workers to address the workload and reduce program cancellations.
Jayden highlighted issues with the reasonable accommodation process for special needs
individuals, advocating for more permanent solutions rather than annual recertifications. The group
also discussed the need for more affordable housing units within rent caps and the importance of
hiring more housing authority specialists to specialize in different voucher populations.
FSS Program Feedback and Improvements
The meeting focused on gathering feedback about the Family Self -Sufficiency (FS ?Ar?9T)
and
housing services. Participants discussed challenges with communication, program information, and
access to caseworkers. They suggested improvements such as clearer information, regular
workshops, social media outreach, and dedicated staff to explain programs. Armando raised
concerns about rental assistance, parking, and utility support, while others requested help with
household items. The conversation ended with a reminder to complete a survey and an open
invitation for additional recommendations.
Reasonable Accommodation Process Review
The meeting focused on discussing reasonable accommodation processes, with Jayden
recommending that special accommodations for permanent disabilities be reviewed every three
years instead of annually. Ema&kero raised concerns about inconsistencies in disability -related
housing policies across different cities, while Bree highlighted issues with communication and mail
delivery systems at Santa Ana Housing Authority, suggesting improvements could be made by
collaborating with Orange County Housing. The conversation ended with Gabriela introducing
herself as the FSS program manager and providing contact information for questions about the
program.
Housing Safety Concerns Addressed
The meeting focused on addressing safety concerns and housing issues raised by several
participants. Carlos expressed concerns about illegal activities in his neighborhood, and George
raised questions about a $600 increase for an extra room. The housing authority representative,
CDA, collected contact information from the participants to have their housing specialists reach out
to them. CDA also provided information on how to report changes during the office renovation
period, emphasizing the use of mail, email, or the lobby mailbox. The conversation ended with a
reminder for participants to complete a survey by the 20th and for those waiting to speak with
Karina to expect a follow-up call.
EXHIBIT 1
ESIDENT ADVISORY BOARD- SPANISH 2/6/2026
Online attendance: 0
In -person attendance: 4
Question One: What are your housing needs and what would you rank as your top three housing
needs?
• Good management- I like where I live. I have lived in my unit for 12 years, if somethings broken,
management fixes it. For example, If the stove breaks they fix it. The fridge goes out they fix it,
they act fast.
• Clean and safe property- My property doesn't allow messy units; such as curtain, plants and
other things. I keep my property clean.
• We are comfortable were we live.
• Thank god, everything is going well.
• Inspections- When the inspector comes, inspectors like my unit because it's always clean.
Question two: What recommendations do you have to more effectively address your housing needs?
• The housing Authority is close to where I live. I use the bus, I don't have a car and I can come
visit when I need to. I am happy where I live, no problems.
• We keep to ourselves, happy where we live.
• Everything is going well, thank god.
Question three: As the largest housing assistance provider in our community, what do you think SAHA
should do to address the housing needs in our community?
• Rent increases- Rent has increase drastically; however, every time it goes up I bring the increase
to my worker and they fix it.
• Rent increases- The increase is complicated when we have families and hurts due to the rising
cost of everything.
• The utilities- have increased even for someone like me that's living alone. At my property
utilities are shared and divided, they shouldn't be that high. I must keep all lights on due to
darkness and there is risk in the dark
• Electricity is high but there are programs that help lower the cost, CARES program helps with
lowering the cost.
• Electricity is fine in my unit because I have plenty of windows.
• Assist in person- due to age I prefer in person visits to address my housing needs.
Question 4: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Eligibility, Selection and
Admissions Policies, including Deconcentration and Waiting List Procedures?
• Check background
Pick who best fits the program: Some people need the assistance more than others, like families
or single mothers.
• Cut down the waiting time to be selected, its taking years to get picked.
Question 5: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Rent Determination
Policies?
EXHIBIT 1
• My rent is good- I call my worker and I personally bring in the rent increase notice, even if the
landlord tells me they did, I do it to confirm. After my worker takes care of it and all is settled.
• My landlord tells me thy can raise my rent if we use too much utilities- that's not right because
its shared amongst all tenants. If my neighbor uses more electricity, why should I have to pay,
it's not justifiable.
• Its not justifiable they raise it so much. Some landlords try to increase the rent so much and
we're seniors, its not right.
• Only thing we don't want is the president taking our assistance away.
Question 6: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Operation and
Management?
• Send out notices for everything.
• For me its fine, I like the way things are.
• How your doing it right now, meeting with us in person.
• More inspections- Inspections help keep everything in order. I always keep everything clean.
• We prefer inspections done in person, not zoom. Some of us find it difficult to do inspections via
ZOOM.
• Reviewed the move process with us in person, its complicated.
Question 7: What recommendations do you have to change or improve our Family Self -Sufficiency
Program?
• Programs for parents, who can help with educating their kids.
• I'm retired, with age I now have health problems like sciatic nerve with that said I am not
interested in furthering my education or career, that's best for parents.
• The program sounds great but I'm not interested at this time.
Question 8: What recommendations do you have to encourage and motivate more assisted -families
to join our Family Self -Sufficiency Program?
• Make meetings in person.
• Offer more benefits for people with families like childcare.
• More in person activities to get people involved with their families.
• More security for those that are undocumented and for our families living in fear during these
times.
Question 9: How can we improve our progress to fulfill our mission and better support your housing
needs?
• Support with the documents being requested.
• We don't have phones or have knowledge of how to use them so make more in person
meetings. Specifically, in person meetings to inform us on what's happening with our housing.
• Letters are received and we don't understand them, too much verbiage.
• Sometimes its difficult to ask family members for help, offer help with filling out forms or
reading letters.
• Create programs for children. Educate the children and help guide them.
• Provide daycare to help with children.
• Everything is great and we appreciate our works.
EXHIBIT 1
Question 10: Do you have any other recommendations to improve our program and services for you,
our landlords, and our community?
• More in person meeting every 3 or 6 months to help keep us informed.
• Less online meetings, the internet is difficult to navigate or we don't know how to use it.
• Very appreciative we were received in person, we were lost online.

payments directly to property management as instructed. I was notified that a revolving
balance existed on my account; however, when I requested clarification regarding where the
discrepancy originated or which payments were being charged or applied incorrectly, I did not
receive clear follow-up or documentation. Without an itemized explanation, ledger detail, or
confirmation of Housing Authority payment receipt, I was unable to accurately provide payment
confirmation or determine whether the balance reflected a legitimate discrepancy or an internal
posting issue. As time progressed, changes in property management further complicated the
situation. Despite acting in good faith, I lacked the ability to independently verify payment
status. Unlike non -voucher residents, voucher -assisted tenants often cannot access payment
portals, cannot submit partial payments through those systems, and have no visibility into
whether Housing Authority payments have been received or properly applied. This leaves
tenants unable to document compliance or resolve disputes in a timely and informed manner.
This lack of transparency creates an unclear environment where responsibility becomes

difficult to determine, even when tenants actively seek clarification. In many cases, there is no
initial indication of wrongdoing; however, structural limitations in communication and oversight
allow discrepancies to persist, placing tenants at risk of lease violations, eviction, or voucher
loss. To prevent these outcomes, I recommend that payment verification and discrepancy
resolution be formalized as a defined duty within a Housing Specialist role or a Housing
Retention department function. This responsibility would include regularly reviewing tenant
ledgers, confirming Housing Authority payment disbursement and receipt, coordinating with
property management, and providing tenants with timely, documented clarification when
discrepancies arise. Establishing this safeguard would protect tenants from being penalized for
administrative gaps while also protecting the City's investment in housing vouchers. Early
identification and resolution of discrepancies reduces voucher attrition, prevents unnecessary
housing instability, and supports responsible stewardship of public resources. Formalizing this
function would demonstrate the Housing Authority's commitment to transparency, tenant
protection, and accountability, ensuring that voucher -assisted tenants are not placed at a
systemic disadvantage due to limitations in payment systems they cannot control.

Short -Term Strategy: Implement a defined payment verification and discrepancy review duty
2/3/2026 2:28 PM
within existing Housing Specialist or Housing Retention roles. This function would provide
timely review of tenant ledgers, confirm Housing Authority payment disbursement and receipt,
coordinate directly with property management, and ensure tenants receive clear documentation
when discrepancies arise. This immediate safeguard would prevent unresolved balances from
escalating into lease violations, eviction risk, or voucher loss. Long -Term Strategy: Develop
standardized payment transparency systems for voucher -assisted households, including
consistent ledger reporting, documented dispute resolution timelines, and improved
coordination with property management platforms. Formalizing these processes would reduce
administrative errors, protect the City's housing investment, improve compliance oversight,
and ensure voucher -assisted tenants are not structurally disadvantaged due to payment
systems they cannot access or control.

RESOLUTION NO. 2026-XXX
A RESOLUTION OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF
THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE
SUBMISSION OF THE ANNUAL PLAN FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2026-2027
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE CITY
OF SANTA ANA, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana conclusively finds,
determines and declares as follows:
A. The Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana (the "Authority") is required
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") to have an Annual
Plan due to the fact that the Authority administers a Housing Choice Voucher ("HCV")
Rental Assistance Program.
B. The purpose of the Authority's Annual Plan is to advise HUD, program
participants and members of the public of its mission and strategy to serve the needs of
very low-income families. It provides information about the current operations of the
Authority, including programs, participants, services for the upcoming year, and any
operational or tenant concerns.
C. The Authority is required to review its operations and needs for the Annual
Plan with input from HCV participants. Three (3) Resident Advisory Board Meetings
were held on February 6, 2026, with responses incorporated into the Annual Plan, as
required by HUD regulations.
D. HUD regulations require a forty-five (45) day public comment period. On
January 30, 2026, a legal notice was published in the Orange County Register, Nguoi
Viet and La Opini6n advising the public that a draft of the Annual Plan was available for
public review and comment and a public hearing would be held on March 17, 2026. The
public comment period ended on March 17, 2026. Further, a public hearing was held by
the Authority on March 17, 2026, and all comments received at the hearing are included
in the final documents to be submitted to HUD.
Section 3. The Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 of the Housing Authority of the
City of Santa Ana is hereby approved and adopted. Said Annual Plan shall be submitted by
the Authority to HUD.
Section 4. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the
Authority Board, and the Recording Secretary for the Authority shall attest to and certify the
vote adopting this Resolution.
