ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY <br /> n4vCHCD <br /> ADVISORY BOARD MEETING <br /> ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING&COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Thursday, December 16, 2021 at 6:00 PM <br /> VIRTUAL MEETING: https://zoom.us/e/98126441099 <br /> There were no informal hearings since the last OCHA Board meeting. <br /> Lack of affordable housing inventory has been the main barrier to people leasing up with vouchers. <br /> Advocacy work happens in several different groups in our community—the Orange County Affordable <br /> Housing Coalition has an advocacy committee and does advocacy work.There are two groups that <br /> primarily consist of people with lived experience of homelessness that do advocacy—the Meeting of <br /> the Minds group co-managed by the Community Empowerment Fund and shelter residents at the <br /> Inter-Faith Council for Social Service. <br /> Board members worked on the Advisory Board Action Plan required by the County. <br /> A motion was made to circulate the current of the Advisory Board Action Plan and get feedback by <br /> email and phone [Jacobs, Mahood].All in favor, none opposed. <br /> The Housing Authority has one HCV Housing Specialist position open—we are hopeful to interview for <br /> this position in January. <br /> Staff will review program goals, discuss resuming meetings in person, discuss a potential <br /> Administrative Plan to allow an exception to income limits for applicants experiencing <br /> chronic homelessness, and a list of housing groups in Orange County at the January OCHA Board <br /> meeting. <br /> Tammy Jacobs adjourned the meeting at 7:34 p.m. <br /> Mailing Address: P.O.
