~~ <br />After lengthy discussion HUD directed IFC to move forward with occupying the third <br />unit. IFC formally terminated its partnership planning and sublease arrangement with the <br />Coalition in June 1999. IFC indicated to HUD and the County in writing their willingness <br />to fulfill the community obligation to serving victims of domestic violence through its <br />overall operation and on-going objectives of Project Homestart. (See letter from IFC <br />Board Chair attached.) The Coalition and other non-profits were encouraged to provide , <br />IFC with consultation, referrals and in-kind services to benefit Homestart residents. <br />A formal amendment to the IFC lease with the County for the Homestead property was <br />never sought since IFC did not plan to substitute another tenant for the stated purpose in <br />the third unit. IFC indicates today it has continued to collaborate fully with community <br />partners, especially the Family Violence Prevention Center (FVPC), in service and <br />support to women and children affected by domestic violence in Orange County. The <br />25-year lease agreement expires in 2020. <br />
