This award funds the establishment and operation of housing and supportive services designed to address homelessness in Santa Ana, California. Eligible activities under this award include permanent supportive housing for persons with disabilities, rapid rehousing initiatives, transitional housing facilities, and supportive services such as case management, housing counseling, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) infrastructure.
