8 <br /> `Preference will be given to applicants earning under 50% of AMI <br /> The Towns and County streamlined application and policies in April so that all Orange County <br /> residents can be assessed through the Housing Helpline process, which uses a research-based <br /> Coordinated Assessment process to connect people with community resources. One of these <br /> resources is the Towns' and County's Emergency Housing Assistance. Hillsborough, Chapel <br /> Hill, and Carrboro each have funds for emergency housing assistance. Prior to the coordination <br /> of these funds, access to the separate funds was not systematized, resident requests were not <br /> tracked across the County/system, and eligibility for each fund was disparate. Now, there is a <br /> coordinated intake system for requests and eligibility criteria are streamlined. Before <br /> streamlining, there were instances of residents not being eligible for Town funds living in the <br /> Towns'jurisdictions, so the County would cover these costs. OCHCD has established a <br /> reimbursement process with the Towns for eligible costs incurred from residents residing within <br /> the respective Town's jurisdiction. The amount incurred from each jurisdiction is recorded and <br /> tracked. This has been a fully collaborative effort between Town and County staff with the goal <br /> of lowering barriers and increasing access to emergency housing assistance funds. <br /> The fund offers one-time assistance per household, and there is a funding maximum of$2,000 <br /> per household. The average amount of assistance the fund provides is $1,297, so the additional <br /> $130k allocation could serve approximately 100 people. Thus far, OCHCD has only had one <br /> person to request assistance for a second time. However, this could become more common as <br /> issues with affordability and job security are ongoing. While the emergency housing assistance <br /> can keep someone from eviction for now, that person may not be able to afford their dwelling six <br /> months from now depending on employment, rent stability of the current housing, and other <br /> factors. However, keeping an eviction off someone's record is a powerful way to help them <br /> access housing in the future, as an eviction record can bar people from housing for years into <br /> the future. <br /> The need for ongoing flexible housing assistance is great. Based on the current data on cost- <br /> burdened renters, there are more than 12,000 Orange County residents in need of rental <br /> subsidy to keep their income to rent ratio affordable. <br /> OCHCD, in partnership with the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness (and through <br /> initial staffing support from DSS), is providing case management to eligible Orange County <br /> residents in need of ongoing rent assistance through the County's Housing Help Rapid Re- <br /> Housing program, which provides rent assistance and case management for roughly 20-25 <br /> Orange County residents. OCHCD is also leveraging the Housing Choice Voucher program by <br /> implementing existing Orange County Housing Authority preferences for people experiencing <br /> homelessness and people impacted by natural disaster (to include the pandemic) to obtain <br /> longer term rent assistance through a Housing Choice Voucher. This month OCHCD began <br /> mailing HCV applications to people meeting the preference definitions with the goal of issuing <br /> 75-130 additional vouchers in 2020. All of these programs will work in tandem with the Eviction <br /> Diversion Program to help address the growing need, exacerbated by this pandemic, for <br /> affordable housing in the County. <br /> There are additional potential CARES Act allocations that can help replenish the fund to include <br /> Emergency Solutions Grant funding and Community Development Block Grant funding from the <br /> Town of Chapel Hill. The County Manager recommended to the Board CARES Act funds <br /> allocations for housing resources as follows <br />
