COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its regular meeting on April 16, 2013, by a vote of 7:0 the Community Redevelopment and
Housing Commission approved the recommended actions.
DISCUSSION
Since 1993, the City of Santa Ana has received federal funds through the U. S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA) Program to be used countywide. The HOPWA Program is designed to provide
resources and incentives for long-term comprehensive strategies to meet the housing needs of
persons with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The allocation to the City of Santa
Ana for fiscal year 2013-2014 will be approximately $1,471,187.
Eligible activities for the HOPWA Program includes: 1) new construction, acquisition and
rehabilitation of affordable housing; 2) provision of tenant-based rental assistance; 3) short-term
rental and mortgage payment assistance to prevent homelessness; 4) supportive social services
and housing information services; 5) technical assistance; and 6) administrative expenses incurred
by jurisdictions coordinating local programs. In allocating grant funds for eligible activities, the City
of Santa Ana is required to consider the service needs of eligible persons who reside throughout
Orange County and approve funding for projects which may be located anywhere within the
County.
In order to ensure that the limited funds are prioritized, City staff has worked closely with the
Housing Committee of the Orange County HIV Planning Council, the HIV Planning Council, and
agencies throughout the County of Orange providing services to the HIV/AIDS community. On
February 4, 2013, a strategic planning meeting was held to determine priorities for the fiscal year
2013-2014 funds. Representatives from the Orange County Health Care Agency, service
providers from throughout the county, HIV/AIDS infected and affected individuals and City staff
participated in the meeting.
Based on the strategic planning meeting, the 2013-2014 fiscal year funding recommendations
were established. The recommended funding levels are: 1) $600,000 to continue the Tenant-
Based Rental Assistance Program with the Housing Authority of the City of Santa who will
subcontract with AIDS Services Foundation Orange County to administer the wait list; 2) $827,051
to the Orange County Health Care Agency for supportive housing services to individuals
throughout Orange County; 3) $44,136 for administrative costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds will be available in the HOPWA Program account (nos. 40518760-69158, 40518761-69135,
40518761-various and 40518760-69136).
