Orange County, North Carolina 7 Consultant Services: Five-year Consolidated Plan and Comprehensive Housing Strategy • Attend the two required public hearings with the County's representatives and document all continents made during the meetings.. Task # 3 Provide and Analyze Current Condition Data In cooperation with County representatives and the consolidated plan advisory committee, Cathy Saidat and Charlie Blair will identify any additional data and information, including existing housing and/or homeless studies, educational attainments, income characteristics, information on special needs populations not previously considered, as well as other data. After obtaining this information TDA will use it-along with the information gathered at the initial meeting, census data, and other HUD resources-to develop a detailed housing market analysis and needs assessment for the County's review and approval. Field surveys are not included as part of this task. Task # 4 Provide a Priority Ranking of Needs Based upon the analysis of current conditions, TDA will prioritize the assessed needs and rank them according to their importance, unless otherwise instructed. The housing market analysis and needs assessment will meet all of the minimum requirements of 24 CFR Part 91 and will include elements requested by the County's representatives. County representatives will review and provide comments on the draft of the housing market analysis and needs assessment, which TDA will incorporate into the final version of the consolidated plan. A project team member will be available to meet on-site for one day with the County representatives to obtain comments and direction on the draft housing market analysis and needs assessment and to discuss strategies for addressing the identified needs. Task # 5 Develop Strategic Plan TDA will develop a strategic plan that addresses the needs identified in the needs assessment with consideration given to existing policies of the County of Orange County. The strategic plan will be consistent with the minimum HUD requirements as outlined in CFR 24 Part 91 as well as with other guidance issued by HUD. The strategic plan will detail the County's housing, homeless, and non-housing priorities for the next five years. Specific objectives and strategies will be developed that address stated priority needs. County representatives will review and provide comments on the draft of the strategic plan which TDA will incorporate into the final version. The members of TDA's Orange County team will obtain comments and direction on the draft strategic plan and discuss actions to implement the approved strategies. Charlie Blair will spend up to one day on-site to discuss the strategic plan for the County. Task # 6 Final Consolidated Plan TDA will incorporate any of HUD's required elements not already listed above into the consolidated plan, including the Executive Summary, long range plans, policies, and other elements. TDA will combine all of the above consolidated plan elements (housing market analysis, needs assessment, strategic plan, and annual action plan) and prepare additional elements as necessary (including an executive summary) or required by HUD's regulations and guidance. County representatives will review and provide comments on the initial draft of the consolidated plan; and TDA will incorporate those comments into the version for public comment. TDA will provide one original and one copy in advance of the required 30-day comment period. The County will reproduce any additional copies needed during the public comment period. TDA will incorporate comments received during the 30-day comment period into the final consolidated plan, as appropriate. Training & Development Associates, Inc. (12/13/2004) Page 5
