As a member of the loan <br /> pool, $190,000 has been set aside for Orange County for projects to be reserved on a unit-by-unit <br /> basis. In accordance with NCHFA's program guidelines, Orange County may reserve funds for <br /> up to five (5) units under the $190,000 set-aside. Funds for additional units may be reserved from <br /> the loan pool, depending on availability, on a unit-by-unit and first come, first served basis until <br /> December 21, 2022. <br /> Orange County's application for funding stated that matching funds of$50,000 would be available <br /> to assist with rehabilitation of the proposed housing units. The Housing and Community <br /> Development Department Local Single-Family Rehab account currently has about $240,000 <br /> available for rehabilitation projects (which will roll forward to FY 2020-21). The $50,000 match <br /> funds is proposed to be allocated from this account. <br /> NCHFA requires recipients of ESFRLP20 awards to complete a packet of Post Approval <br /> Documentation, which includes documentation that an Assistance Policy and a Procurement and <br /> Disbursement Policy have been adopted. These policies describe how eligible applicants are <br /> selected for the program, and how the bid solicitation and payment processes for the rehabilitation <br /> work are conducted, respectively. These two policies are attached for review and approval. <br />
