9 <br /> 1 o Rapid Rehousing <br /> 2 <br /> 3 0 Example Projects — Rehabilitation/Supportive Housing <br /> 4 • CASA— Pritchard Avenue <br /> 5 o 5 duplexes, 10 units, Chapel Hill <br /> 6 <br /> 7 Chair McKee asked if the Board would receive information regarding specific types of <br /> 8 housing that would be available for certain groups of the population, such as the homeless or <br /> 9 the disabled. <br /> 10 Audrey Spencer Horsley said all of these projects would include community partnerships <br /> 11 with other agencies that specialize in services to various populations. <br /> 12 Chair McKee said he would like a general idea of what type of housing is available to <br /> 13 serve specific populations in other locales, in order to gather ideas and best practices. <br /> 14 Commissioner Jacobs asked if it is known how many of the 250 units would be rentals <br /> 15 versus owner occupied. <br /> 16 Audrey Spencer Horsley said there are no assumptions as of now and it is being <br /> 17 recommended that there be some criteria as to what Orange County is looking for in affordable <br /> 18 housing, followed by a review of proposals, and a selection made among the projects. She said <br /> 19 a specific type of housing is not being targeted but rather to increase the supply of housing <br /> 20 overall. <br /> 21 Commissioner Jacobs said the 2001 bond committee group had a similar approach, but <br /> 22 he thought the group deviated from the approach. He said he assumes there will be further <br /> 23 discussions about what is available in the community and what the needs are. <br /> 24 Chair McKee said he hoped all of these units would be blended into the general <br /> 25 environment of affordable housing, versus being separate and potentially stigmatized. <br /> 26 Commissioner Jacobs asked if modular or mobile units fit in to the plan somewhere. <br /> 27 Audrey Spencer Horsley said this housing would fit into all categories and across the <br /> 28 spectrum. <br /> 29 Commissioner Rich said it would be good to have a list of all of the affordable housing <br /> 30 units built from the 2001 bond. <br /> 31 Travis Myren resumed the presentation: <br /> 32 <br /> 33 0 Example Projects — Supportive Housing New Construction <br /> 34 • CASA- Salisbury Apartments <br /> 35 • 10 units, Raleigh, 2009 <br /> 36 <br /> 37 0 Example Projects — Supportive Housing New Construction <br /> 38 • CASA— Denson 1, November 2014 <br /> 39 • 11 units, Durham, 2014 <br /> 40 <br /> 41 0 Low to Moderate Income— 500 units <br /> 42 • Target population <br /> 43 o 50% to 80% AMI <br /> 44 o Up to $56,550 for family of four <br /> 45 <br /> 46 • Potential examples <br /> 47 o New affordable units with affordability guarantee/incentive <br /> 48 • Construction <br /> 49 • Renovation <br /> 50 • Acquisition with affordability guarantees <br />
