Habitat has also requested that the County provide <br /> $3,000 in funding to match the amounts paid for school impact fees on <br /> four new houses in 1994. <br /> The County has approximately $28,000 set aside that could be used for <br /> affordable housing purposes such as the ones cited in the Habitat <br /> requests. These funds come from the sale of a County owned piece of <br /> property in Mebane last year, and from funds remaining from the <br /> Chestnut Oaks subdivision paving project. These funds could be <br /> included in an Affordable Housing Project Ordinance in the Housing and <br /> Community Development Fund. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve $16,000 <br /> in funding for Habitat to be included in an Affordable Housing Project <br /> Ordinance. <br />
