7 <br /> The Board considered voting to approve a resolution transferring ownership of two (2) <br /> manufactured homes to EmPOWERment, Inc., as well as authorize the County Manager to <br /> execute all needed documents as it relates to the proposed transfer of property, subject to <br /> review and approval by the County Attorney and authorize the Chair to sign. The manufactured <br /> homes were purchased under the previously approved Orange County Land <br /> Banking/Manufactured Home Park Initiative's Displacement Mitigation Assistance Program <br /> (DMAP). <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT: <br /> Delores Bailey said EmPOWERment is honored to have been a part of this pilot <br /> program, and there are two families who are so happy that this program was able to assist <br /> them. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the resident purchases the unit at the end, where does <br /> the money go. <br /> Sherrill Hampton, Housing Director, said the funds go back to Orange County into the <br /> landbanking fund. <br /> Delores Bailey said the beauty of this program is that it gives people the opportunity to <br /> own a home, when they would not have qualified via traditional methods. She said <br /> EmPOWERment bridges the gap for the homeowner, and allows them to establish a year of <br /> making payments in a timely fashion. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Price to <br /> approve a resolution transferring ownership of two (2) manufactured homes to EmPOWERment, <br /> Inc., as well as authorize the County Manager to execute all needed documents as it relates to <br /> the proposed transfer of property, subject to review and approval by the County Attorney and <br /> authorize the Chair to sign.
