The needs of <br /> residents with limited incomes for a unique variety of public services can be acute. <br /> Consolidated Plan funding will be used to leverage other resources to provide needed <br /> services. <br /> Priority Need <br /> 4.1 Increase capacity and expand the scope of Public Services in order to reach out <br /> to more low-to-moderate income residents. <br /> How will the Orange County Consortium accomplish these goals? <br /> By drawing upon financial resources available to the Consortium through HUD and by <br /> instituting or strengthening partnerships with County departments, municipalities, <br /> and nonprofit organizations, the Consortium will have sufficient resources available <br /> to accomplish the Plan goals. <br /> The following table provides a conservative estimate of the total amount of funding <br /> that is expected to be available through HUD over the course of the five years <br /> covered by this Plan. The estimates for CDBG and HOME are based on 80% of the <br /> current FY 2010 funding level, multiplied by five (to arrive at a cumulative five-year <br /> figure). CDBG and HOME Program Income estimates are based on 80% of the <br /> projections listed in the Consortium's 2009 Annual Action Plan. The estimate for <br /> HOME Matching Funds is 25% (the minimum amount of match required) of the five- <br /> year HOME estimate. <br /> Y 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan 4 <br />
