<br />2 <br /> <br />families are not forced into housing. However, he brought up the fact that one family that went <br />through this program within six months was successful and he also informed the Board that <br />there are other states that are following this model. Ms. Hampton stated that she would get a <br />copy of the article that Noah is referring to and provide copies at the next meeting. <br /> Chairperson Keith Cook informed the Board that he went on the Bus Tour and he was glad that <br />there were four (4) Advisory Board members that attended and he thought that the <br />information that was provided during the Bus Tour let him know that the Advisory Board needs <br />to know what is going on in the community and tours are one way to gather some of this <br />information. Noah Oswald interjected how impressive the work that is being conducted in the <br />Northside neighborhood. A question was raised during the Bus Tour about undocumented <br />families and if they could participate in Habitat’s homeownership programs? Tour attendees <br />were informed that Habitat for Humanity will not allow undocumented individuals and families <br />to participate at this time. However, the Latino Community Credit Union will assist <br />undocumented families. There was one family that came out and spoke to the Bus Tour <br />attendees. The family was excited about their housing experience. This family was from the <br />Rogers Road community. Chairperson Keith Cook stated that they went to approximately <br />thirteen (13) locations during the Bus Tour. <br />No further updates or general comments were shared. <br />Departmental/County Report: <br />There were two (2) items of follow-up that Ms. Hampton shared with the Advisory Board: (1) <br />the Town of Chapel Hill’s updating and refining of their Comprehensive Plan, known as Chapel <br />Hill 2020. Ms. Hampton provided a flyer and a website where additional information can be <br />found. Chapel Hill has created a new Affordable Housing website. (2) In reference to a question <br />that came up at the May meeting about Chapel Hill’s affordable housing (penny) funds, a copy <br />of the information, along with the Town’s Progress Report on its affordable housing efforts, was <br />also shared and is located on the Town of Chapel Hill’s Affordable Housing website, too. <br />Furthermore, information was provided about the Town’s proposed $10M Bond. <br />Carrboro is proposing a half cent and those funds, if approved, would bring in an estimated <br />$212,000 per year. The Town Manager would like to raise the property tax a half cent for three <br />years which would total a penny and a half. However, any tax increases would have to be <br />approved each year. The Town has an Affordable Housing Special Reserve Fund and that is <br />where the money will go. This Fund will provide a source of financial assistance to various <br />housing projects and also include monies for security deposits and utility connections. It <br />provides assistance with critical home repairs, too. Non-profits funded under this activity <br />include Habitat and Rebuilding Together of the Triangle. The Town of Carrboro provided funds
