Revised Resolution Authorizing the Rights and Community Development <br /> Orange County FY 2015-16 HOME Director, (919) 245-2492 <br /> Program Design <br /> 3. Revised Resolution Authorizing FY <br /> 2016-17 HOME Program Design <br /> PURPOSE: To approve a revision to the HOME Program Design Resolutions for FY 2015-16 <br /> and 2016-17: <br /> BACKGROUND: On May 5, 2015 the Board of County Commissioners ("BOCC") adopted a <br /> Resolution for the FY 2015-2016 HOME Program Design which allocated funds to Orange <br /> County Habitat for Humanity ("Habitat") for homeownership down payment assistance for ten <br /> (10) homes throughout Orange County. On September 1, 2016 the BOCC revised the Program <br /> design to allow Habitat to provide down payment assistance for eleven (11) homes throughout <br /> the County. Habitat is requesting the BOCC revise the HOME program Design for FY 2015-16 <br /> to authorize Habitat to provide down payment assistance to four (4) homes instead of eleven <br /> (11) homes because in the 2015-16 application Habitat requested $270,000 and was only <br /> allocated $100,455. <br /> On May 5, 2016, the BOCC approved the HOME Program Design for FY 2016-17 which <br /> allocated funds to Orange County Habitat for Humanity to provide homeownership down <br /> payment assistance for twelve (12) homes in the Fairview Community in Hillsborough and <br /> Tinnin Woods Subdivision in Efland-Township. Habitat is requesting that it be authorized to use <br /> the funds in the Northside Community in Chapel Hill as well as the other two communities. <br /> Staff has reviewed Habitat's request and recommend that both Resolutions be revised <br /> accordingly. (See Attachments 2 and 3) <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: No financial impact. <br />
