2 <br /> New Applications 2023-2024 <br /> NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER <br /> Given that the number of applications dropped significantly in August and September, the <br /> increase in July is likely related to other factors such as summer holiday and school closures, <br /> rather than the change in policy. The number of pending applications has fluctuated throughout <br /> the three (3) months, but is typically in the range of 20-40. <br /> The average total amount spent per month since the policy change is $48,396.69, with an average <br /> of $4,033.06 per household assisted. The average amount households receive is lower than the <br /> $4,500 cap on assistance because additional months are only paid if they can be paid in full since <br /> a landlord could begin eviction proceedings based on a partial payment. <br /> The percentage of applications denied has increased from 53% to 66%. As seen in the chart <br /> below, denials are predominantly due to the household being over 30% AMI or living outside of <br /> Orange County. Insufficient documentation of an LCE contributed to 22 denials. <br /> Denied Applications (127) <br /> 40 34 <br /> 35 33 <br /> 30 <br /> 25 22 <br /> 20 18 <br /> 15 10 <br /> 10 0 5 <br /> 0 o <br /> L°J", <br /> O OJwS Q�°Q <br />
