The various types of services offered by the programs are identified by the following categories: acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, homebuyer assistance and homeless prevention.

Consistent with HUD income qualifying criteria, the low/moderate income areas of the City within Census Tracts 9203.11 and 9203.12 are the focus of efforts to provide CDBG assistance. In addition, for areas outside of these block groups, the City meets HUD's established income criteria in 24 CFR 570.208 (a) (1) (ii). Action Plan 91.220 (e) Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities The City will continue to work with community social service groups who provide services to the homeless. The City is not able to provide an emergency homeless shelter or homeless station at this time due to a lack of available funds, location for such a facility, and community support. The City will coordinate with groups interested in compiling information on the,availabdity of homeless services for the homeless, even though these services are not located within the City. Prevention of Homelessness The City will continue to work with community service groups interested in providing services to the homeless. There are community constraints to the City's ability to prevent Homelessness. The City will coordinate with groups interested in compiling information on the availability of homeless services in order to better address the prevention of homelessness. Transition of Homeless to Permanent Housing The City will continue to work with community social service groups interested in providing services to this population group. The City is not able to provide transitional housing for the homeless at this time, due to a lack of current funding, location for such a facility, and community support. The City will coordinate efforts to provide information and resources for transitional housing for the homeless and other related services like counseling, job training, to help the homeless secure permanent housing facilities. City of Santa Clarita 1996-1997 Consolidated Plan -Action Plan Persons with Special Needs There are several populations in the City of Santa Clarita with special needs. These include the disabled, the elderly, severely mentally ill, those with drug and alcohol addictions, those with AIDS, and battered women. The City seeks to support activities and programs to assist these groups and attempts to reflect this as a priority within the CDBG program. For example, through the City's Handyworker Program, wheelchair ramps have been constructed for residents with special needs. Our goal to increase these efforts is sought by coordinating services among the social and community service agencies to better address the needs of the people within this special needs population. Action Plan 91.220 Other Actions (f) (1) General Many of the obstacles to increasing the number of affordable housing units in the City of Santa Clarita were discussed in the "Barriers to Affordable Housing" portion of the Housing Market Analysis section. These obstacles make it difficult for the City to meet all of the under served needs within the community. Our coordination with social and community service agencies will continue to address the obstacles we face in providing services to our community. Fostering Affordable Housing It is a goal of the City of Santa Clarita to provide a variety of housing types for all income levels and to assist in the development and provision of proportionately priced and sized housing units to meet the needs of all community residents. Those persons classified as being with low and moderate incomes, large families, handicapped, families with female heads of household, and elderly have the greatest need. The City has the following affordable housing policies: General City of Santa Clarita Affordable Housing Policies -Based upon City's General Plan goals and organized into four par&issue areas: 1) Encouragement of affordable housing 2) Maintenance of affordable housing 3) Meeting the needs for affordable housing 4) Provision of equal housing opportunities Affordable Housing Development Incentive Policy and Procedures- This is a formalized Standard Management Procedure, establishing guidelines for implementing affordable housing development incentives (Adopted by the City Council on March 23, 1993). City of Santa Clarita 1996-1997 Consolidated Plan -Action Plan Guidelines for use of Conduit Financing- This policy, adopted by the City Council in July 1993, establishes guidelines to allow for conduit financing of affordable housing developments. Mobilehome Park Closure Policy and Procedures- This City ordinance establishes specific requirements for compensation to mobile home park residents in the event of mobilehome park closures. Fostering Public Housing Improvements Within the City's Consolidated Plan are specific actions, programs and policies undertaken by the City to foster the development, management and operation of public housing improvements. The City, currently does not own or operate any public housing. Orchard Arms is the only a facility operated by the County of Los Angeles and is within the City limits. Accordingly, the City has not undertaken efforts to encourage public housing residents to become owners of their public units or developed any other ownership opportunities for these residents. The City has assisted and facilitated private developers with the development of housing and housing improvements on a citywide basis. Further, the City has and will implement programs designed to improve and increase the available housing stock with the CDBG emergency supplemental appropriation, the HOME program for disaster relief, and the City's annual CDBG entitlement, The City's participation with the County in the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) has helped first time home buyers in qualifying for new homes. City of Santa Clarita 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan -Action Plan I The City of Santa Clarita monitors compliance with affordable housing requirements for projects that receive Federal, State, County and local financial subsidies. The City places strong emphasis in establishing contact and coordination with the various agencies that operate within the Santa Clarita Valley. This coordination was tested during the January 1994 Earthquake and reaffirms the City's desire to ensure that this effort continues. City staff ensures that program information provided by our subrecipients reflect accurate information for HUD in the various reports and submittals throughout the program year. These agencies are encouraged to apply for various funding sources available from the Federal, State and local governments to augment the City's efforts. Any agencies not listed in our service directory will be included in the City's annual performance report which will reflect any program or project modifications. The City actively seeks to assist our public service agencies in applying for various grant opportunities, improving service delivery systems and serving as a resource to them, in order to foster and develop the partnerships we have established. Further, coordinated interdepartmental efforts including the City's Affordable Housing Committee and the Newhall Task Force, provide focus, input and direction in the oversight and implementation of the City's CDBG Program. Internal auditing, program monitoring and project reviews are conducted to determine consistency with the City's Housing documents, General Plan, Zoning Code and other policy and regulatory documents and are performed by City staff. Finally, the City fully complies with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations through the submittal of all required audits, including the Single Audit. This audit requires the incorporation of the Federal Financial Assistance Schedule, which identifies amounts and sources of all Federal funds. This report is reviewed for completeness, accuracy and compliance with applicable policy and regulatory regulations. Any necessary reconciliation with municipal financial records are undertaken by the City's Finance Department and auditors, to assure that the financial information transmitted to HUD is correct and complete. Any errors or deficiencies in the financial management system is corrected and resolved by the City's CDBG Program staff, Finance Department and Budget Office.
