Affordable Housing Advisory Board <br />2501 Homestead Road Room D <br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514 <br />Minutes of the March 27, 2018 Meeting <br />Members Present: Noah Oswald, Jenn Sykes, Mae McLendon, Tammy Jacobs, Vice Chair; <br />Douglas Boemker, and Allison Mahaley <br />Unexcused Absence: Joshua Brown, Adrian Moreno, and Kolby Herndon <br />Staff Present: Sherrill Hampton, Director <br />Welcome /Introduction <br />The Vice Chair Tammy Jacobs called the meeting to order at 6:12 p.m. The Chair, Mr. Keith <br />Cook was out of town. <br />Sherrill Hampton stated that the reason for the meeting was to review, score and provide <br />feedback on the four (4) applications the County received under the Outside Agency Funding <br />RFP. Ms. Jacobs stated that no other business would be presented at this meeting. <br />Ms. Hampton provided everyone the additional information that had been received as it relates <br />to the four (4) applicants and their applications: Centre for Homeownership & Economic <br />Development, Community Home Trust, EmPOWERment, Inc., and Habitat Humanity of Orange <br />County. The additional information came as a result of questions during the meeting with the <br />applicants and County Manager. <br />Each application was reviewed and the AHAB members present had discussion about the <br />proposed projects. The Board felt that it was important that the County review the application <br />format and questions to enhance them for next year. The Board felt that several of the <br />questions could be more detailed or clear in the type of information requested. This would aid <br />reviewers, as well as applicants. It was noted that this recommendation was provided in past <br />years but no changes had been made to the questions. It was good to see a separate <br />application for new applicants. <br />The final scoring sheets are attached and are included as a part of these minutes. <br />
