FILE NUMBER
The City of Santa Ana receives an annual allocation of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to
improve low to moderate -income neighborhoods, eliminate blight and create a more stable
economic base. These funds may be used for a diverse range of programs including housing,
street improvements, park and public facilities improvements, economic development, code
enforcement and public services. The City's estimated CDBG allocation for Fiscal Year (FY)
2017-18 is $5,127,675, and reflects an estimated three percent reduction from the current year
allocation. A maximum of 15 percent of CDBG funding, the equivalent of $769,151, may be used
for public services. In previous fiscal years, CDBG public service funding was provided to both
nonprofit and City administered public service programs.
At the February 7, 2017 City Council Meeting, Staff was directed to provide a greater portion of
CDBG public service funds to nonprofits. As such, Staff will be allocating the entire 15 percent
CDBG allocation for public services to nonprofits for FY 2017-18.
During the 2017-18 budget development process, City departments, including Police and Parks
Recreation and Community Services Agency, will seek General Fund assistance to fund City
administered public services that are currently funded with CDBG. These public services include
the Police Athletic and Activities League, Library Tutors, and Senior Meals programs. As CDBG
funds are removed from the City administered public service programs, CDBG may not be used
to supplant City funding in the following fiscal year.
