Up to 20% of the total housing units repaired or modified may be manufactured housing units that are owned and occupied <br /> by eligible homeowners on rented lots.The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency awarded Orange County$100,000 in program funds and the <br /> County committed $40,000 in local funds for the 2021 program cycle. Funds for the 2020 cycle have all been expended. <br /> HOME Investment Partnerships Program <br /> The HOME Investment Partnerships Program is the largest federal block grant program dedicated to increasing the availability of affordable <br /> housing for low-income households. HOME provides flexible financing to states and localities (called "participating jurisdictions") to use for <br /> affordable housing activities that fall into four main categories: rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing; assistance to homebuyers; acquisition, <br /> rehabilitation or construction of rental housing; and tenant-based rental assistance. HOME funds may be used to purchase and/or rehabilitate <br /> manufactured homes, provided that the owner is low-income and owns the land beneath the manufactured home. The U.S. Department of <br /> Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded Orange County about $379,000 in HOME for 2021. In addition, the Towns and the County <br /> collectively contribute local matching funds to the program, in an amount equal to 25% of HOME funds to be used for affordable housing activities. <br /> 9 <br /> Developed by the Manufactured Home Staff Working Group <br /> Draft-February 2022 <br />
