DISCUSSION The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) appropriated $1.5 billion for communities to provide financial assistance and services to prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless and to help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re- housed and stabilized. Santa Ana was allocated $2,831,989 under the terms of the funding distribution formula established by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for these programs, which are titled Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing (HPRP). On September 8, 2009, City Council authorized the execution of agreements with nine local HPRP non-profit sub-recipients to carry out HPRP services. On September 7, 2010, after one year of operation, City Council authorized amendments with three sub-recipients to transfer funds between programs and to expand HPRP services to better meet the needs of the community. On January 3, 2011, and again on August 24, 2011, City Council authorized the execution of amendments with sub-recipients to meet the HPRP program expenditure requirements. 25C-1 HPRP Amendments February 21, 2012 Page 2 Considering current expenditure rates and projections to meet the 100% expenditure requirement by August 2012, one sub-recipient has requested that a portion of its grant be reallocated to other Santa Ana HPRP sub-recipients.
