DISCUSSION
In July 201 1 , the City of Santa Ana will be awarded Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds in the
approximate amount of $300,000 by HUD. These funds are made available to states, counties
and municipalities to support emergency shelter programs for the homeless. Eligible uses include
renovation of emergency shelter facilities, essential services to the homeless (e.g., food and
health care), and homeless prevention. A maximum of thirty percent of the total grant may be
used for essential services and thirty percent for homeless prevention.
Since fiscal year 1987-1988, the City has actively participated in the ESG program to provide
funding to the homeless service organizations. In November 2010, a Notice of Funding Availability
was mailed to 48 non-profit providers soliciting applications for FY 201 1-2012 grant funding.

Fourteen proposals were submitted from thirteen organizations with funding requests totaling
$469,600. Proposals predominately sought funds to offset program administration, homeless
prevention, maintenance and operating costs.
On January 1 1 , 201 1 , an ad hoc committee (comprised of two commissioners from the Community
Redevelopment and Housing Commission, one representative from the Orange County's
Community Services-Homelessness Prevention Department and one City staff) conducted
applicant interviews to rate and rank the proposals using the following criteria: 1) community
need, 2) capacity to provide service, and 3) effective and efficient use of funds. A list of the
agencies submitting proposals, the evaluation panel rating, the grant amount for the present year,
the requested amount of funding for FY 2011-2012, and the recommended funding for FY 2011-
2012 is provided in Exhibit 1. Two of the recommended proposals will fund homeless prevention
programs, and twelve will fund essential services and operations- All fourteen proposals are being
recommended for funding as follows:
