COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION ACTION
At its regular meeting on April 19, 2011, by a vote of 6:0, the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission approved the recommended actions.
DISCUSSION
Each year the City of Santa Ana receives funding from various formula grant allocation programs
administered by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds
provide for affordable and supportive housing, community development programs, public services
and economic opportunities. The programs include the Community Development Block Grant
(CDGB), the HOME Investment Partnership Grant (HOME), the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG),
and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Grant. HOPWA funds have been
provided to the City of Santa Ana since the inception of the program for use throughout the County
to provide resources, supportive services and incentives for long-term comprehensive strategies to
meet the housing needs for persons with HIV/AIDS.
The federal budget has not been finalized; therefore, HUD has not notified the City of the actual
funding amounts it will receive for the 2011-12 fiscal year. The estimated amounts expected are
as follows:

Every five years the City must submit to HUD its Consolidated Plan. This is a five-year
comprehensive planning document and application for all of these programs. It describes a
strategy to meet the needs of the community and identifies resources and programs that can be
used to address them. In May of 2010, the Five Year Plan for the period of July 1, 2010 to June
30, 2015 was submitted to HUD. Each year the City is required to submit an Annual Update to the
Consolidated Plan. This document establishes a one-year investment plan that outlines the
intended use of resources in the forthcoming fiscal year. The proposed Annual Update covers the
2011-12 fiscal years. It reaffirms the established policy of allocating funding in neighborhoods
where programs and resources would have a maximum impact. In addition, key programs will
continue to be operated throughout the City (and distributed Countywide for HOPWA funds) in
order to better serve the diverse needs in the community.
HUD regulations require that the draft Annual Update be made available for a 30-day public review
and comment period. On March 17, 2011, notification was published in the Orange County
Register that the draft plan was available for review beginning March 18, 2011, and that the public
hearing would be held on April 19, 2011. It was also noticed in La Opinion and Nguoi Viet as well
as on the City's website. The 30-day public comment period concluded on April 19, 2011, at 12
noon. In accordance with Federal regulations, all neighboring jurisdictions were also informed of
the draft's availability for review. All comments received, including all funding recommendations
made by the City Council, will be included in the final document, which is due to HUD no later than
May 16, 2011.
