In fact,for all income categories,the rate of African-Americans being affected by any <br /> severe housing problem is lower than the county-side figure. Asian and Hispanic households, however, <br /> are disproportionately affected for both the 50-80%and 80-100%AMI categories. <br /> IFFY 2020—2024 Orange County, NC HOME Consortium 35 <br /> Consolidated Plan <br /> OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.06/30/2018) <br />
