7 <br /> AP-05 Executive Summary <br /> Introduction <br /> The Orange County, North Carolina HOME Consortium, is a Participating Jurisdiction in the U.S. <br /> Department of Housing & Urban Development's (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships Program <br /> (HOME). Under the HOME Program, local governments are able to join together to form a consortium in <br /> order to receive HOME funding for affordable housing. The Orange County HOME Consortium is made <br /> up of four(4) members: Orange County, the Town of Carrboro, the Town of Chapel Hill, and the Town of <br /> Hillsborough, with Orange County serving as the lead entity. The Town of Chapel Hill also receives <br /> Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds each year. <br /> Orange County is required to complete an annual plan for the use of HOME funds to HUD, called the <br /> Annual Action Plan. The Annual Action Plan is a guide to how the County will allocate its resources for <br /> specific activities that support the Goals and Objectives of the Orange County HOME Consortium's Five <br /> Year Consolidated Plan. This is the HOME Consortium's third Annual Action Plan of the 2020-2025 Five <br /> Year Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan describes the housing and non-housing needs of County <br /> residents and presents a five-year strategy to address those needs. <br /> This Annual Action Plan outlines how Orange County will use HOME funds to address the goals and <br /> priorities in the Consolidated Plan and which activities the County will undertake using HOME funds <br /> during the upcoming program year.
