Habitat first began <br />completing exterior home repairs in 2010. Habitat has received government funding <br />for these projects in the past, and has proven its ability to successfully complete and <br />report the agreed upon work. In addition, during the fall of 2016 Habitat piloted <br />providing critical repairs to homeowners in Northside and Pine Knolls. These repairs <br />were also subject to grant funding restrictions and reporting. In total, Habitat has <br />successfully completed more than 110 repair projects in Orange County. <br /> <br />e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex. Has the agency experienced any <br />major changes in the past year? Is there a new Executive Director? Are there <br />new initiatives?) <br />Habitat is working on its first senior housing community within the Waterstone <br />development in Hillsborough. Habitat expects to break ground this spring on the <br />infrastructure for 24 homes designed to accommodate seniors ages 55 and up. This <br />project meets an urgent and growing need for affordable senior housing in the <br />county.
