59 Public Housing Condition Public Housing Development Average Inspection Score AMP1 (161 units) 53 AMP2 (175 units) 42 Table 37-Public Housing Condition Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction. While the Town of Chapel Hill has conducted comprehensive renovations on much of their public housing stock in the last decade, recent inspection scores underscore the need for a more complete modernization of the Town's public housing stock. Included in this need (and as discussed earlier in this plan) is the need to provide more accessible units. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low- and moderate-income families residing in public housing. The Town of Chapel Hill intends to improve its public housing management and the physical conditions of its public housing developments. Included in this are efforts to increase the number of accessible units to disabled populations and to deconcentrate poverty within its developments. Discussion As stated throughout this plan,there is a need for more affordable housing in Orange County. Unfortunately,the number of public housing and Housing Choice Voucher units offered in the County have remained the same since the previous Consolidated Plan as a result of no new federal funding. Further, inspection scores suggest that the quality of public housing in the County has decreased since the previous Consolidated Plan. While a number of nonprofit entities provide affordable housing in the community,there is a need for additional public housing units and Housing Choice Vouchers to meet the needs of extremely low- income households—that is,those earning below 30%AMI.These households are often the hardest-to- house for nonprofit groups.
