SUBJECT:
Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council
Community Development Department
Tenth Year Housing and Community Development Act.Funds
Background
On November 7, 1983 the City Council approved the proposed lOth-Year (FY 84-85)
application for HCDA funds for the following projects:
Public Facilities Improvements - $200,000
(This amount would allow the City to finish the street improvements in
the "B" Street/Mitchell target area)
Rehabilitation of Housing Stock - $250,000 (Low Interest Loan Program)
(This year the City staff is initiating a program to encourage apartment
owners to rehabilitate apartments in our target areas. We would still
retain the program for the rehabilitation of owner occupied properties.)
Smoke Detector Purchase - $15,000
(Purchase smoke detector and give to low and moderate income persons
including the handicapped and senior citizens.)
Discussion
Because Tustin is a "non-entitlement" city, the application is a joint submittal
with twelve cities, ten unincorporated communities and eight various community
organizations. The final allocation of funds is subject to approval by the
Board of Supervisors and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
On February 22, 1984 the Board of Supervisors approved the following items for
project funding for Tustin:
Housing Rehabilitation in the amount of $25,000 for the provision of low
interest loans, deferred payment loans, and grants to principally low
and moderate income residents in the City's target areas. Although this
amount represents a figure substantially less than what was proposed,
the City currently has a total of $100,000 available for loans from
eighth and ninth year funds. While we are aware of the City's intent to
intensively market the rehabilitation program, we support the City in
its efforts and feel that this allocation will suffice for tenth year.
Public Facilities and Improvements - in the amount of $100,000 for the
continuing multi-phased project in the "B"/Mitchell Street target area.
Improvements are to consist of two storm drains, street paving,
sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and street lighting.

Attention: Donald Lamm, Director of Community Development
Subject= Selection of Tenth Year H/CD Projects and Funding Levels
Dear Mr. Lamm:
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation in
providing us with the pertinent information required to evaluate the proposals
you submitted for inclusion in our Tenth Year Housing and Community
Development Block Grant Statement of Community Development Objectives and
Projected Use of Funds.
On September 21, 1983 the Board of Supervisors established guidelines for
funding projects under the Tenth Year as set forth in Resolution
No. 83-1417. Subsequently, twelve cities, ten unincorporated communities, and
eight various community organizations submitted proposals for funding. The
total funds for all proposals submitted was over $12.5 million which far
exceeds the $4.2 million we anticipate receiving for total project funding.
While we recognize that most projects are worthy of funding, we had to select
those projects that could best meet the guidelines set forth by the Board of
Supervisors. Our goal has been to meet as many needs as practicable while
remaining within the legal and fiscal program constraints imposed upon us.
In the Proposed Statement of Community Development Objectives and Projected
Use of Funds, we recommended to the Board of Supervisors the following
projects:
Housing Rehabilitation in the amount of $25,000 for the provision of low
interest loans, deferred payment loans, and grants to principally low- and
moderate-income residents in the City's target areas. Although this
amount represents a figure substantially less than what was proposed, the
City currently has a total of $100,000 available for loans from eighth and
ninth year funds. While we are aware of the City's intent to intensively
market the rehabilitation program, we support the City in its efforts and
feel that this allocation will suffice for tenth year.

The first public hearing to review the Proposed Statement of Community
Development Objectives and Projected Use of Funds is scheduled for

Board of Supervisors Meeting Room located at 10 Civic Center Plaza in the
City of Santa Ana.
