{ <br /> 10 <br /> C. Planned Activities <br /> HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM <br /> July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997 <br /> NOTE.Although the federal budget has been passed which provides the same amount of <br /> funding for this program as last year, the Orange County HOME Consortium has not <br /> received official notdcabon of the 1996-97 allocation. Thus, although, we do not know the <br /> amount of our 1996-97 allocation, the 1996-97 Action Plan is based on our 1995-96 grant <br /> amount of$612,500. <br /> Priority: Facilitate the construction of new or substantially rehabilitated housing <br /> units that are affordable to families below 60% of the area median. <br /> Funds would be allocated to Habitat for Humanity, Orange County for site improvements <br /> for five lots in the Culbreth Park subdivision. Due to steep topography conditions, it is <br /> necessary that substantial site improvements be made before construction can begin on <br /> the lots. <br /> $40,000 <br /> We will provide funds to the Orange Community Housing Corporation to develop a small <br /> housing demonstration project on Scarlett Drive and Legion Road. Funds would be used <br /> for site improvements. <br /> $70,000 <br /> Priority: Create transitional housing units for shelter residents who can live <br /> independently. <br /> Funds would be used to assist the InterFaith Council Community House (local homeless <br /> shelter) and Freedom House( local substance abuse program) in the construction of drug <br /> and alcohol free housing for low-income and homeless residents of Orange County. A <br /> twenty-four bed facility would be built that would also serve as the headquarters for the <br /> Employment Project, a job training and substance abuse counseling program for shelter <br /> residents. <br /> $336,600 <br />
