Cameron St. <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Link: <br /> UCC Living Centers,Inc: which is sponsoring Co►+oenaW Plane, 40 units of supportive <br /> housing, at the corner of Smith Level and Culbreth Roads,is requesting reimbursement from <br /> Orange County for the impact fee. This is not unlike the requests you have received and granted <br /> for Habitat for Humanity houses. <br /> Funding for Covenant Place is through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban <br /> Development(HUD). HUD provides a grant in exchange for a 40 year agreement that these units <br /> will serve seniors with low mcomes. Monies from the HUD 202 program will not only build the <br /> units but will provide subsidies such that qualified residents will not pay more than 30'/0 of their <br /> adjusted income on rent. Qualifications include having an income of less than$18,000 annually <br /> for a single person and being 62 years of age and older. Due to these qualifications, few, if any, <br /> of the people moving into the Covenant Place apardnents will be selling 003tmg homes for others <br /> to occupy and thus avoid the impact The on new construction. This is a wonderful service for <br /> senior citizens with low incomes. Adelaide Walters apartments in Chapel Hill is an example of a <br /> 202 program. <br /> UCC Living Centers, Inc. is a local,non-profit organization comprised of members from <br /> two area congregations: New Covenant Christian UCC and United Church of Chapel kill,UCC. <br /> Our third partner is the United Church Retirement Homes, Inc. UCC is the acronym for our <br /> denomination the United Church of Christ. <br /> As a non-profit we have no fimds other than the Rmds supplied by HUD. Local citizens <br /> serving on the board of directors of UCC Living Centers have given countless hours to generating <br /> a proposal for HUD,achieving HUD approval, interviewing and selecting an architect and builder, <br /> meeting with municipal governments for planning and zoning, overseeing building, planning <br /> Programs and nurturing an on-going conumurity. <br /> »»OVER>>> <br />
