on safety and security issues . z <br /> . A proposed site plan and floor plan have been designed <br /> by GGA Architects , reviewed by a joint design committee <br /> including IFC and the Coalition and the Emergency Family <br /> Support and Shelter Task Force .

Approximately $8 ,500 <br /> annually will be needed from public sources . Services <br /> dollars ( for case management , transportation, etc. ) are <br /> expected to come from HUD or reallocated state sources . <br /> . A 15-year lease agreement has been drafted by County staff <br /> which has been reviewed by IFC's staff , legal counsel <br /> and Board (see attached agreement) . <br /> Site plan approval by the Town of Chapel Hill may require <br /> modification to the lease agreement .
