In addition to their housing prob- <br />lems, they often have other social service needs. They face a variety of problems that prevent <br />them from improving their economic situation, escaping poverty and obtaining adequate and <br />affordable housing. <br />Orange County and the Town of Chapel HiII have targeted significant CDBG and HOME re- <br />sources within core low-income areas to execute its anti-poverty strategies. These resources <br />will act as catalysts to invite additional public and private investment of capital and services; in- <br />crease the quantity and quality of affordable housing; and help low to moderate-income resi- <br />dents acquire needed information, knowledge and skills to improve their employment opportuni- <br />ties. <br />The anti-poverty strategy is the unifying thread that ties the housing, homeless, public housing <br />and non-housing community development strategies together as one comprehensive plan for <br />reducing the number of families that fall below the poverty level. The strategic plan, goals and <br />objectives noted throughout this part pro mote self-sufficiency and empowerment. <br />[11] <br />
