10 <br /> Commissioner Greene said EmPOWERment has worked hard to bring projects to the <br /> table that are viable. She said this project is in Pine Knolls, which has not received as much <br /> attention as other historically black neighborhoods, such as Northside. She said it is so difficult <br /> to divide these resources. <br /> Commissioner Greene asked Delores Bailey if there is an ideal timeline, and what <br /> happens if that timeline gets extended due to lack of funding. <br /> Delores Bailey said EmPOWERment does affordable rentals really well, and all units are <br /> full. She said if funding is delayed, people will go without housing. She said there are no other <br /> variables to fall in place, only funding. <br /> RES-2020-067 <br /> RESOLUTION AWARDING FUNDS FOR THE 2020 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND PROGRAM <br /> BE IT RESOLVED, by the Orange County Board of Commissioners, upon <br /> recommendation by the Orange County Affordable Housing Advisory Board, approve the <br /> following awards for the 2020 Affordable Housing Bond Program: <br /> Center for Community Self-Help <br /> Funds will be allocated to the Center for Community Self-Help as a grant for development of <br /> 2200 Homestead Road, a mixed-income rental and homeownership development in Chapel Hill <br /> with 113 affordable units and four (4) market-rate units.
