)Excerpt from the February 5, 2013 BOCC Approved Minutes <br />6. Public Hearings <br />a. Orange County Consolidated Housing Plan Update <br />The Board received comments from the public regarding the housing and non - <br />housing needs to be included in the Annual Update of the 2010 -2015 Consolidated <br />Housing Plan for Housing and Community Development Programs in Orange County <br />and proposed uses of 2013 -2014 HOME funds. <br />Housing and Community Development Director, Tara Fikes said their last plan <br />was completed in May of 2010 and they did identify three goals in Orange County. One <br />of those goals was to provide decent and affordable housing for lower income <br />households through the following efforts: 1) Assisting low income home owners living in <br />sub - standard housing, 2) providing rental units for low income residents, 3) assisting <br />people who lack indoor plumbing, 4) helping low income renters become home owners, <br />and 5) help extremely low income renters find affordable housing. <br />She said that the second goal was to assist the homeless in finding housing as <br />well as services to maintain housing, and the third goal was to assist in provision <br />housing and services for the special needs population. She asked for any additional <br />comments regarding needs in the community. <br />Tara Fikes said that the second purpose of this meeting was to hear comments <br />about the proposed usage of the HOME investment partnership dollars. She said this <br />program allows activities such as property acquisition, new construction, housing <br />rehabilitation and rental assistance. She said they are unsure about final fund <br />allocations for this year, but they are proceeding with the plan under the assumption that <br />they will receive at least the same funds as last year, which equaled $383,485. She said <br />there has also been program investment and some projects that no longer require <br />funding, leaving another $180,000 available as well. <br />Chair Jacobs said affordable housing was a topic of conversation at the Board <br />retreat last week and there will be a joint dinner meeting with Affordable Housing <br />Advisory Board on March 12. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if there was there anything in this plan <br />substantively different from last year's plan and he asked for clarification of how much of <br />last years' money was allocated to the low income rental units. <br />Tara Fikes said that the plan is the same as it was last year and it is a five year <br />plan that remains in place until 2015. With regard to the rental units, she said, $50,000 <br />was provided for rental assistance in support of the homeless outreach program. She <br />said they also allocated $37,000 for housing rehabilitation funding for complexes in <br />Chapel Hill (Elliot Woods and Chase Park), and $90,000 to EMPOWERMENT for <br />purchase of rental apartments to rent to low income people. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if the latest copy of the CDBG, showing <br />impediments to fair housing, could be provided, and Tara Fikes said yes. <br />PUBLIC COMMENT: <br />Susan Levy, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity, gave a brief overview of <br />2012. She said there were twelve creative partnerships formed to build twelve new <br />homes this past year. She said that eleven of those homes were in the Phoenix Place <br />subdivision in Historic Rogers Road and one of those homes was in the Fairview <br />Community. She noted that families who purchase from Habitat are local people who <br />Y 2013 -2014 action Plan 3 <br />
