The HOME Program Design is scheduled for approval by the Town of <br />Carrboro on May 1, 2018 and by the Town of Chapel Hill on May 2, 2018. The Town of <br />Hillsborough adopted the HOME Program Design on April 9, 2018. The Board of County <br />Commissioners (BOCC) is therefore asked to consider approval of the attached HOME <br />Program Resolution. <br /> <br />The FY 2018-2019 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or before May 15, 2018. <br /> <br />HOME Program Implementation <br />After approval of the FY 2018-2019 HOME Program Design by all Consortium participants, <br />authorization is also requested to allow the Orange County Manager, based on the HUD <br />allocation received, to execute agreements with partnering non-profit organizations as <br />necessary to implement the approved HOME Program Design. All agreements will receive the <br />review and approval of the County Attorney’s Office. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if there was any discussion within this group about <br />relocation funds for those being displaced from mobile homes. <br />Sherrill Hampton said this topic was covered under part of the displacement mitigation <br />assistance program, approved by the BOCC in March 2018. She said there is also the risk <br />mitigation and housing displacement fund, approved by the BOCC in the past budget cycle. <br />She said guidelines have been created and sent out to the local non-profit providers. She said <br />the HOME program is a federal one, and thus all are being very cautious with compliance <br />issues when trying to serve undocumented people.
