9 <br /> Town of Chapel Hill Housing Advisory Board Meeting Greatest unmet housing/service <br /> Housing Advisory Board needs: Permanent supportive <br /> housing units and service provision; <br /> Services and units for people with <br /> high barriers to finding and <br /> maintaining housing(such as <br /> criminal record,substance use, <br /> behavioral health); Project-based <br /> vouchers <br /> Other feedback: <br /> • Create point structure for <br /> awarding HOME-ARP funds that <br /> incentivizes developers to partner <br /> with service providers <br /> • If considering funds for <br /> development gap financing, be <br /> aware that if the funds require <br /> deeper income targeting,they <br /> may not actually fill the funding <br /> gap(e.g.,an extra $200k HOME- <br /> ARP may be less in the long run <br /> than the higher rents that could <br /> be gotten if units did not have to <br /> be targeted toward 30%AMI <br /> households) <br /> Town of Carrboro Housing Advisory Board Meeting Other feedback: <br /> Affordable Housing • Concerned with access to these <br /> Advisory Committee funds; residents(particularly <br /> Black residents)consistently <br /> struggle to access housing funds <br /> and encounter barriers with local <br /> administrators <br /> • Focus on engaging landlords,as <br /> one driver of homelessness is <br /> landlords not accepting vouchers <br /> 7 <br />
