Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Dear Ms. Marshall: <br /> This letter is to formally request financial assistance from Orange County <br /> to assist in the development of 32 units of low income elderly housing. <br /> As you know, Community Housing Alternatives currently owns and operates 24 <br /> units of 202 elderly/handicapped housing in Chapel Hill, the Adelaide <br /> Walters Apartments. CNA was created in 1982 by the Inter-Faith Council not <br /> only to construct and operate those 24 units but also to pursue other <br /> opportunities to provide the greater community with sorely needed housing <br /> for special populations. <br /> Over the past several weeks we have had a number of discussions with Tara <br /> Fykes, of your staff, and James Harris of the Carrboro staff about the <br /> possibility of developing a low income elderly project in the Carrboro <br /> planning jurisdiction. We have a landowner who is interested in moving <br /> ahead with the project, and has agreed to the necessary option on the <br /> property. <br /> On April 8, 1988, the CHI Board formally approved its participation in this <br /> project, as developer and owner. On April 12, 1988, the Inter-Faith Council <br /> gave its formal approval to serve as sponsor of the development venture. <br /> What we need at this point is a relatively small amount of seed money to <br /> allow us ta;.ivelop an application to the Department of Housing and Urban <br /> Development for funding through their Section 202 program. Applications for <br /> this yearn a cle of funds are due June 15, 1988. To develop this <br /> application, we have secured the services of Lane Sarver, a housing <br /> consultant from Chapel Hill with extensive experience with HUD and the 202 <br /> program in particular. We also will need the services of an architect, as <br /> yet unchosen, to do a preliminary site plan, and an attorney, also yet to be <br /> selected. An itemized listing of seed money needs and amounts is attached. <br />
