ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: September 2, 2003 <br />Action Agen <br />Item No. - <br />SUBJECT: Orange County Housing Rehabilitation CDBG Pro ram <br />DEPARTMENT: Housing/Comm. Development PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) Yes <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Tara L. Fikes, ext 2490 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To receive comments from the public concerning the FY 2004 Housing <br />Rehabilitation Program for Orange County. <br />BACKGROUND: The County was recently notified by the N.C. Department of Commerce - <br />Division of Community Assistance of the award of $400,000 in Scattered Site Housing <br />Rehabilitation funds under the FY 2004 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) <br />Program. These grants are no longer competitive, and each interested county in North Carolina <br />is scheduled to receive an allocation every three years to provide housing rehabilitation funds <br />for the county and the municipalities within the county. Orange County received $400,000 in <br />housing rehabilitation funds in 2001 and is designated to receive funds in 2004. These grant <br />funds must be used to repair substandard housing occupied by low-income families in the <br />Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough as well as the unincorporated areas of Orange County. <br />These funds may not be used in the Town of Chapel Hill since it receives Community <br />Development Block Grant funding directly from HUD. <br />Families with incomes at or below 50% of area median income that own and occupy <br />deteriorated housing are eligible to participate in the program. For the purpose of this program, <br />deteriorated housing are dwelling units that that have existing housing code violations including <br />houses that lack indoor plumbing. <br />In order to receive this funding, the County must conduct two public hearings. The first hearing <br />provides an opportunity to obtain citizen comments prior to developing an application for these <br />funds and another hearing after the application is completed but prior to submission to the N.C. <br />Department of Commerce. <br />After initial public comment is received, an application document will be prepared with input <br />from the Carrboro and Hillsborough members of the HOME Program Review Committee.
