5 <br /> Orange County Affordable Housing Clearinghouse <br /> Vision: <br /> To be a network of community groups and public agencies that connects Orange County citizens to all <br /> i <br /> available affordable housing services. <br /> i <br /> Implementation: <br /> The project will not initially have the funding to begin offering all the functions listed below, or the <br /> staffing and information to immediately begin receiving all individuals seeking services related to <br /> affordable housing in our county. We hope to slowly gain that capacity but begin as a referral service <br /> for all local housing groups,to begin collecting data, and to be a central location offering pre-and post- <br /> purchase counseling and classes, and rental listings. <br /> Goals and Functions: <br /> 1. To be a one stop information and referral center for citizens of Orange County for all affordable <br /> housing needs. Will offer few actual services itself but have counselors who know all County <br /> housing organizations and their available services. <br /> 2. To be a central repository for statistics and data pertinent to Orange County housing that can be <br /> accessed by nonprofits working in afford able housing, housing counseling agencies and <br /> developers interested in creating housing and affordable housing in Orange County. <br /> i <br /> 3. A central location offering pre-purchase and post-purchase housing counseling available to <br /> clients of all Orange County housing servicers,and nonprofits. <br /> i <br /> 4. A central place for individuals or organizations to list affordable housing rental, leasing, buying <br /> and selling opportunities and property, including an up to date list of all available affordable <br /> and subsidized rental properties. <br /> 5. To create a ready-made space for discussion between all organizations involved in providing or <br /> facilitating affordable housing in Orange County, and to foster greater communication and <br /> cooperation between those organizations, advertizing programs and events related to <br /> affordable housing j <br /> We are hoping to create a planning committee with representatives of local housing groups interested <br /> in a clearinghouse.
