Development Department’s Main Office, Orange County Library and the Chapel Hill Library, as well as on the Orange County Website. All public comments received are summarized in the proposed FY 2018-2019 revised Annual Action Plan. The Orange County HOME Consortium, known as the Orange County Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative, anticipates the following Federal financial resources for FY 2018-2019: FY 2018 HOME Funds $401,340.00 HOME Program Income $ 13,306.00 HOME Match $ 90,302.00 Total $504,948.00 The above amounts are estimates only and may be adjusted according to the exact allocation received from HUD. Given the proposed increase in HUD HOME funds to be received, the HOME Consortium, comprised of one (1) elected official and staff members from Orange County, the Town of Carrboro, Town of Chapel Hill and Town of Hillsborough, reviewed the received applications on May 22, 2018 and again on June 14, 2018 as it relates to the proposed FY 2018-2019 HOME funds and made the following revised recommendations regarding funding for consideration by each of the Consortium member jurisdictions’ elected bodies as follows: Community Home Trust - Homeowner Assistance $ 60,000.00 Empowerment, Inc. – Rental Acquisition $145,000.00 Habitat for Humanity – Homeownership $ 60,000.00 FY 2018-2019 CHDO Set-Aside Activities $ 60,201.00* Orange County – Countywide TBRA, including assistance for the Rapid Re-Housing Program $139,613.00 Administration $ 40,134.00 Total $504,948.00 (*- Denotes Orange County HOME Consortium’s CHDO Set-Aside) The requested amounts above may still be adjusted based on the exact allocation the HOME Consortium receives from HUD. While HOME funds will not be used in FY 2018-2019 to undertake single-family housing rehabilitation activities, Orange County will provide local funding for single-family housing rehabilitation activities as the need for low income owner-occupied rehabilitation was identified in the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan and subsequent Annual Action Plans. In accordance with the Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement, approved in May 2011, the HOME Program Design for each year must be approved by all jurisdictions prior to submission to HUD. The HOME Program Revised Design is scheduled for approval by the Town of Carrboro on June 19, 2018 and staff believes the Town of Chapel Hill will consider this item on June 27, 2018. The Town of Hillsborough will adopt the HOME Program Revised Design on June 25, 2018. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is therefore asked to consider approval of the attached revised HOME Program Resolution. The FY 2018-2019 Revised Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or before July 2, 2018. 2
