In <br /> November 2014, the BOCC authorized an update to the MOU to reflect how the Orange County <br /> 10-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness had evolved to become an on-going program, which <br /> the Partnership to End Homelessness implemented. <br /> In June and July 2022, the Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners, the Carrboro Town <br /> Council, the Chapel Hill Town Council, and the Orange County Board of Commissioners approved <br /> an MOU for a one-year term. In the intervening period, the OCPEH Executive Team, comprised <br /> of representatives from the four elected boards, met and revised the proposed MOU to reflect the <br /> inclusion of system and OCPEH programming data in annual reports and participation in County- <br /> wide housing planning efforts. OCPEH staff presented annual reports to the four elected boards <br /> between January and May 2023. The Chapel Hill Town Council approved at the proposed MOU <br /> at its meeting on May 24, 2023. The Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners will be <br /> considering the proposed MOU on June 12, 2023. The Carrboro Town Council will be considering <br /> the proposed MOU on June 27, 2023. <br />
