ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING AUTHORITY <br /> ORANGE COUNTY ADVISORY BOARD MEETING <br /> HOUSING DEPARTMENT Thursday, April 17, 2025, at 6:00 PM <br /> Virtual Meeting: <br /> Microsoft Teams Meeting Link <br /> Jenn Sykes:Agree with Dr. Miles on the motion to table - I think the two asks for more <br /> information are what similar counties do, and also add in what Dr. Miles posted in the chat on local <br /> flexibility. <br /> Monica Richards: I second the motion to table. <br /> Jenn Sykes: And for the social support questions, I think a lot of programs that AHAB funds, not <br /> this program, offers a lot more of the case management world/support. <br /> Will add in for the HCV users meeting, a good group to get would be the charity care groups at <br /> Duke and UNC - they should offer a fair amount of free supports and also get payment plans on <br /> health done (and I know they don't work great with DSS) <br /> Dr. Timothy Miles: I agree People who break the rule returning to the program voucher programs <br /> must go through some support programs. Also issues these tenants are the housing or landlord <br /> issues. It maybe looks discriminatory to other tenants in a complex. Landlords in Orange County <br /> have come along ways in accepting Section or housing choice vouchers. The landlords will turn <br /> away new section 8 tenants. <br /> Jenn Sykes:And I think this gets at the need for HAC and AHAB to overlap -AHAB started <br /> funding a lot of programs for what Eva talked about (Self-Help did something with savings), but <br /> I'm not sure how it ties to HAC participants explicitly, or if they even get priority. <br /> Eva: I apologize, I have to sign off. Goodnight <br /> Monica Richard:Would this be evaluated at 12 mos.? <br /> Jenn Sykes: I'd ask for some sort of level of income increase and consistency of that income <br /> increase. <br /> Dr. Timothy Miles: Social security faces the same issues of over payment. Maybe the process <br /> might helpful to look at. ? <br /> Jenn Sykes:And there's probably something like setting up a payment plan or, if not, some of the <br /> AHAB partners might be able to step in and help (like Self-Help CU) <br /> Mailing Address Hillsborough Office Chapel Hill Office <br /> P.O.Box 8181 300 W.Tryon Street 2501 Homestead Road <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 Hillsborough,NC 27278 Chapel Hill,NC 27516 <br /> Telephone(919)245-2490 • Fax(919)944-8496 <br />
