MAL G P P STE ROU 3 <br />Group 3: Needs <br />- Housing for disabled and elderly <br />- Housing transition support (social, emotional, financial) <br />- Inclusive communities <br />- Single housing available for non-students <br />- affordable housing fox service workers <br />- Homeless -- leaving shelter <br />- UNC provide more housing --beyond students -- for s.workers, staff, faculty <br />- UNC to build student villages <br />- Transitional housing (can rent one room and move up; single room occupancy; <br />teenage independent living) <br />- Housing for first time home buyers, young professionals, teachers <br />- Maintain housing for long term, not just first owner <br />- Taxes are difficult to afford, so they must sell and move b/c increase in value <br />- Developers need to be able to make money from building affordable housing <br />- Affordable rental housing <br />- Home ownership is also about equity- so balance <br />- Affordable may also be small <br />- Work with houses that already exist (e.g., divide $200,000 homes into 4 <br />apartments). <br />- Rent one room for income <br />- Upkeep classes <br />- Shared space in communities <br />Providing water and sewer svcs <br />- OWASA -limited service area; understand water quality and sheds <br />- Increased density that respects public space <br />- Long term affordable and high quality (mobile homes are neither) <br />- Commitment to energy efficiency (so long term costs are affordable) <br />- Option to be near work so driving not essential <br />- supply and demand market (even small lots and houses are expensive) <br />- market driven <br />- rural buffer may increase cost of new housing; limit buffer to 2 acres <br />- Need to understand implications of having/not having a rural buffer. Tradeoffs <br />might not be necessary. Win/win outcome maybe possible. <br />- Clarify how to create affordable housing. <br />- Clarify the needs for these groups (5% for elderly?) <br />- Who are you trying to provide for? 50% of income? This would merge separate <br />communities into larger group. Brings in the diversity -full and complete - of <br />Orange County <br />
