Next Community Meeting/Housing Information Event — Scheduled for <br /> Tuesday, February 11, 2020 at Chapel Hill Public Library, Room A, 6:00-8:00 <br /> PM. Ms. Mahaley stated that she wants the events to be well-attended, but <br /> not an airing of public grievances; instead, it should focus on sharing the <br /> AHAB's work and hearing community input on affordable housing issues. <br /> Ms. Mahaley suggested having an overview of the Orange County Housing <br /> Authority, its roles and responsibilities, and the role of private landlords in the <br /> Housing Choice Voucher program. The event could be used to recruit more <br /> landlords into the program. Ms. Kinnaird suggested that the presentation also <br /> include the roles, responsibilities and programs of the DHCD as a whole. <br /> The AHAB requested DHCD staff develop a PowerPoint presentation for the <br /> meeting and to review it prior to the meeting. The PowerPoint will include <br /> orientation information that will also help develop an AHAB orientation packet. <br /> c.
