Last updated September 1, 2020 1 <br />ORANGE COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA <br />CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN <br />PURPOSE: The purpose of this Citizen Participation Plan is to create a process for citizens to participate in <br />planning and reporting processes for Orange County’s Federal funds for housing and community <br />development, including the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds, as well as other <br />funds awarded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This Citizen <br />Participation Plan is written in accordance with the Consolidated Plan regulations found in 24 CFR 91.105. <br />BACKGROUND: Orange County receives Federal funds for housing, including funds from the HOME <br />Program, which provides formula grants to states and localities, called Participating Jurisdictions, to fund <br />a wide range of affordable housing activities including building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable <br />housing for rent or ownership. In Orange County, the Participating Jurisdiction is a Consortium, known <br />alternately as the HOME Consortium or the Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative (referred <br />to herein as the “Collaborative”). The Collaborative consists of Orange County and the Towns of Carrboro, <br />Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough, with the County acting as lead entity. The Collaborative coordinates the <br />funding process for the HOME program, accepts and reviews applications from local nonprofits, and <br />presents recommendations to the elected bodies of each jurisdiction for funding approval. <br />CONTACT INFORMATION: Citizens may make comments or request information regarding this Citizen <br />Participation Plan or any Federal program and its associated plans and reports—such as the Consolidated <br />Plan, Annual Action Plan, Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), and Consolidated Annual Performance <br />Evaluation Report (CAPER)—by telephone, mail, or email to: <br />Orange County Department of Housing and Community Development <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, North Carolina 27278 <br />(919) 245‐2490 <br />HousingHumanRightsCD@orangecountync.gov <br />The Department will respond in the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, AFH, CAPER, or other <br />document, as appropriate, to written comments received. <br />MEETINGS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS: During the development of the Consolidated Plan and any substantial <br />amendments, Annual Action Plan, and AFH, and prior to the submission of the CAPER, Orange County will <br />solicit the views and proposals of citizens and interested groups and agencies at meetings and public <br />hearings. <br />Notices for meetings and public hearing shall include: <br />1. The subject of the meeting; <br />2. Amount of funds anticipated to be available and range of eligible activities; <br />3. Estimated benefit to low and moderate‐income persons; <br />4. Information needed by citizens to make informed comments, or in the case where extensive <br />information will be the subject of comment, where the information is available for inspection; <br />5. Time and location of the meeting; <br />3
