2 <br />Orange County Assistance Policy <br />for the <br />2011 Cycle of the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program <br />What is the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program? Orange County ("the County") has been <br />allocated aset-aside of $160,000 by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) <br />under the 2011 cycle of the Single-Family Rehabilitation Program (SFRlI). This program <br />provides funds to assist with the rehabilitation of moderately deteriorated single-family owner- <br />occupied housing units occupied by lower income (less than 80% are median income) <br />households with one or more elderly (62+) or disabled fulltime household members or owner- <br />occupied units with lead hazards and a child less than six years old. Orange County plans to <br />apply the funds toward the rehabilitation of three (3) houses within the Orange County. <br />Additional funds may be available from the Agency to address additional dwelling units, <br />depending upon Orange County's performance under the allocated set-aside. <br />The Assistance Policy describes who is eligible for assistance under SFR11, how applications for <br />assistance will be rated and ranked, what the terms of assistance are, and how the rehabilitation <br />process will be managed. Orange County has designed the SFR11 project to be fair, open, and <br />consistent with its approved application for funding and with the SFRl 1 Program Guidelines. <br />The funds provided by NCHFA come from the US Department of Housing and Urban <br />Development's (HUD) federal HOME Investment Partnership Program. <br />The form of assistance for construction-related costs (hard costs) will be~rovided as no interest, <br />no payment loans which are forgiven at the rate of $3,000 per year. Non-construction-related <br />costs (soft costs} will be provided in the form of a Trant. <br />Eligibility. There are several major requirements to be eligible for SFR11 assistance: <br />The housing unit to be rehabilitated with SFR funds must be located in Orange County, <br />and must be owner-occupied. The household occupying the unit must have an elderly <br />(62+) or disabled fulltime household member or a child less than 6 years old and the <br />dwelling unit must contain led-based paint hazards; <br />The gross annual household income must not exceed 80% of the are median income for <br />Orange County (see income limit table on the following page) and; <br />The cost of rehabilitation including all mandatory energy-related measures and lead <br />hazard remediation, if applicable, cannot exceed SFR11 Program Guideline limits of <br />$45,000. Unfortunately, not all homes can be brought up to the Program-required <br />Rehabilitation Standards with the limited funding available. Some otherwise-eligible <br />households may be deemed ineligible for assistance because their homes fail this test. <br />Additionally, properties are eligible only if they meet all of the following requirements: <br />
