BACKGROUND: Under the new National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires local jurisdictions to prepare a Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). This document assesses housing needs in a jurisdiction and outlines future plans /strategies to address these identified needs. A draft Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy is being developed for all jurisdictions in Orange County. All jurisdictions covered under the CHAS are required to hold a public hearing to receive comments regarding this document. The Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough have scheduled hearings to occur around the first week in October. Therefore, staff is recommending that the BOCC conduct a public hearing on this matter at its regularly scheduled meeting, October 7, 1991 in order to fulfill our citizen participation requirement. A standard notice will be published in local newspapers as required. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends: Establishing October 7, 1991 as a public hearing date to receive citizen comments regarding the Consolidated Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy for Orange County.
