Most of the Consortium's HOME projects <br /> that have been developed do not meet this threshold. Orange County HOME Consortium provided all <br /> HOME funded projects and all sub-recipients with the Affirmative Marketing Policy, when applicable. <br /> The marketing of units is the responsibility of the housing provider to undertake in accordance with the <br /> Affirmative Marketing Policy. <br /> Refer to IDIS reports to describe the amount and use of program income for projects, <br /> including the number of projects and owner and tenant characteristics <br /> The HOME Consortium received $28,306.00 in program income this program year. <br /> Describe other actions taken to foster and maintain affordable housing. 91.220(k) (STATES <br /> ONLY: Including the coordination of LIHTC with the development of affordable housing). <br /> 91.320(j) <br /> The Orange County HOME Consortium worked in cooperation with the non-profit housing providers to <br /> address the County's affordable housing needs using HOME funds, Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and <br /> other State and Federal funds. The HOME Consortium funded the following projects to address the <br /> Consortium's housing needs: <br /> • HOME-24-01—CASA—Rental Construction <br /> • HOME-24-02—Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness—Tenant-Based Rental <br /> Assistance <br /> Orange County's population is growing. However,the population growth is mainly in the higher income <br /> household category.This raises the value of both owner-and renter-occupied housing, and creates a <br /> shortage of decent, safe and affordable housing for low-and moderate-income households. HUD CHAS <br /> data on housing cost burden indicates that Orange County is facing an affordability crisis for lower <br /> income persons who cannot afford to live in the southern and eastern parts of the County.Targeting <br /> HOME funds to these projects will help the HOME Consortium reach the top priorities identified in the <br /> 2020-2025 Consolidated Plan of providing housing for people experiencing homelessness and providing <br /> housing for low-and moderate-income households. <br /> 32 <br />
