He said they are at the cap for other <br /> vouchers. He said there is evidence that numbers are going down and they want those to be there <br /> while they await certainty on funding for the next year. <br /> Kirk Vaughn, Budget Director, continued the presentation: <br /> Slide #56 <br /> Housing Department - page 178 <br /> — Longtime Homeowners Assistance Program increased $24,000 to provide sufficient funding to <br /> cover the increase in taxes in the Recommended Budget for the average household as <br /> compared to last year's award. <br /> — Original analysis did not account for the revaluation nor looked at the specific cohort that <br /> received funding in FY 2025. <br /> — Tax office provided information about the impact of the revaluation on that original cohort. <br /> Their pre-appeal tax values have increased 59%from FY 2025, above the county average. <br /> — That cohort will see on average a 16% increase in County tax burden through the revenue <br /> neutral rate calculation, and a 22% increase in burden based on the Manager's <br /> Recommended Budget. <br /> — Longtime Homeowner Assistance program benefit in FY 25 provided a greater benefit to the <br /> 587 households than just the increase in taxes from FY 24 to FY 25. On average reduced <br /> their county tax burden by 25%. <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 56 NORTH CAROLINA <br />
