Program Name: Keeping Your House a Home <br /> <br /> Program Primary Contact and Title: Christine Abernathy, Director of Housing Justice <br /> <br /> Telephone Number: 919-960-1670 E-Mail: christine@jacksoncenter.info <br /> <br />7. Please briefly describe the proposed program, including an explanation of how it aligns with the <br />Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s Results Framework, and Orange County BOCC Goals and <br />Priorities, and the target population to benefit from the program. (250 words or less) <br /> <br />Our program helps to safely retain low-income elders in their homes through a variety of <br />housing justice tactics. One tactic is home repair support and advocacy that improves the <br />County’s community network and provides a higher quality of life for elders. We also facilitate <br />“preservation toolkit” workshops that connect residents with the resources that help preserve <br />their existing affordable housing. Additionally, we organize a network of attorneys to provide <br />free estate planning to elders throughout the County, to protect the wellbeing and diversity <br />of generations to come. <br /> <br />These program activities align with the Towns’ Results Frameworks’ Strategic Objective 2 / <br />Intermediate Result 2.1: “residents increase their livelihoods’ security” / “residents access <br />the most appropriate social safety net services, as well as the County’s priorities of “ensuring <br />a community network of basic human services” and “ensuring a high quality of life and lifelong <br />learning that champions diversity.” <br /> <br />8.
