REPORT ON LOW AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING (A copy of the complete report is on file in the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's Office). Lightning Brown, Chair of the Low and Moderate Income Housing Task Force presented the report. He stated that those citizens who are low income have had to be con- tent with few opportunities. There are 500 families on the waiting list for low income housing with 300 waiting for entitlements for rental subsidies. Home],essness has become an issue of public concern and afford- able housing has become a problem for the average wage earner. He stated that the report contains 40 separate recommendations in 10 different categories. The first countywide analysis of housing conditions was conducted. He talked about the issue of housing rehabilitation and substandard housing that exists in the county. He stressed the fact that mobile homes are the affordable home option in Orange County and an understanding is needed of those who chose this form of housing. Motion was made by Chair Marshall, seconded by Commissioner Carey to refer the report to the County administration for study and further refer- ral as appropriate to Housing and Community Development, Planning, the Economic Development Commission, the Human Service Advisory Commission and Finance and asked that a calendar be developed for those- specific areas that need additional study and/or comments. _ VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
