BACKGROUND: Consolidated Housin Plan Annual Action Plan In 2010, a Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development Programs in Orange County was developed and approved by the U,S. Department of Housing and Urban Development THUD}. This document details the housing needs of very low income, low income and moderate-income families and special population groups in addition to outlining the strategies and plans for addressing those needs. The Consolidated Plan is required for all communities receiving HOME funds ~Qrange County HOME Consortium} and CDBG entitlement funds Town of Chapel Hill}. Each year, Local communities are required to submit an Annual Action Plan to the Consolidated Plan to the State HUD Office by May 15th. This Update includes the 2011-2012 Community Development Plan far the Town of Chapel Hill and the 2011-2012 HQME Program Action Plan or the Orange County HQME Consortium. Public hearings were held by the Chapel Hill Town Council on February 14 and March 28 and by the BQCC on February 1, 2011 to receive public comments regarding the Update prior to development and subsequent submission to HUD. Public comments received at the hearings are summarized in theAnnual Action Plan. A public comment period as required by HUD was established for April 11 -May 12, 2011 by notice in the Chapel Hill Herald. Copies of the Annual Action Plan were made available at the Qrange County Housing, Human Rights and Community Development Main Office. 2011-2012 HOME Pro ram Activities The current grange County HOME Consortium Agreement establishes a HOME Program Review Committee to provide general oversight of the program. Participants in the HOME Consortium are grange County and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. The Committee is authorized to provide policy oversight for planning, operations, and evaluation of ~HC and the HOME Program. The Manager or hislher designee from each participating unit of local government and one ~1 } elected official from each jurisdiction shall be a member. For grange County, Commissioner Valerie Foushee serves on this Committee. Every year, the HOME Program Review Committee prepares a proposed HOME program design each year and consortium program application to HUD, in compliance with the Act, the Regulations, and the Federal Program Requirements, including reallocation of any funds from previous years not expended or any repaymen#s or other program income consistent with this Section. The proposed HOME program design defines a strategy in sufficient detail to accommodate the collective and individual needs and priorities of the County and Towns. Each year's proposed HOME program design and the consortium program application should be consistent with the Consolidated Plan and is subject to the approval of each consortium member's elected board. This year, as required by the Consortium Agreement, the HaME Program Review Committee reviewed applications for HOME Program funding and developed the proposed HOME Program Design for the 2011 - 2012 Program Year. A total of seven ~7} applications were received from local non-profit organizations requesting approximately $1,540,000. There is approximately $12,335 in HOME funds and HOME Program match funds available for Fiscal Year 2011- 2012. The recommended program design is detailed in the attached resolution. In accordance with the Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement approved in June 2008 the HaME Program Design for each year must be approved by all jurisdictions prior to submission to HUD. The Program Design is scheduled for approval by Chapel Hill on May 2, by Carrboro an May 3, and by Hillsborough on May 9th. The Board of County Commissioners ~BOCC} is therefore asked to consider approval of the attached HOME Program Resolution. HOME Pro ram Im lementation After approval of the 2010-2011 HOME Program design by all consortium participants, authorization is also requested to allow the grange County Manager to execute agreements with partnering non-profit organizations as necessary to implement the approved HOME Program design. All agreements will receive review and approval from the County Attorney's office. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County HOME Consortium is scheduled to receive approximately $64~,~81 in FY 2011 HOME Program funding - a reduction of approximately 9% from FY 201 q funding level. The required total local government match is ~$~ 44,261. Orange County's share of the match is $56,264 which will be allocated from County's general fund. REC~MMENDATI~N ~S~: The Manager recommends that the Board: 1 } Adopt a Resolution approving the FY 2011 - 2012 Consolidated Housing Plan Action Plan; 2} Adopt a Resolution approving the proposed HOME Program Activities for 2011-2012; and 3) Authorize the Manager to implement the HOME Program as approved by the BOCC including the ability to execute agreements with partnering non-profit organizations after consultation with the County Attorney.

Each tract's minority population is also shown as a percentage of the tract's total. population. Minority populations range as high as 47. ~.°/o in Tract 107.03 to 12;~.°!o in Tract 108.02. Similarly wide ranges exist within specific racial and ethnic groups. whereas 2,235 Black or African Americans were counted in Tract 111.01,_only 133 were counted in Tract 114. A perhaps even more striking tendency to c~n`cen~rate is found among Asians, whose population ranged from a fatal of ~pst' ~ in Tract 108,01 to 703 in Tract 112,03, By converting raw numbers into percentages, a more useful set of statistics emerges wherein the various, Census tracts can be more directly compared with one another. The following table Table 4~ depicts the same data contained in Table 3 as percentages. Among ail tracts, the average minority tract population is 24.3°/0.

For example, all those tracts with high Black/African American populations are also high minority tracts but, of those tracts where Asians concentrate in unusually high percentages, Wane are high in overall minority populations, Based on this Racial Composition by Census Tract data, the Census tracts with the highest minority concentrations are Tracts 107,01, 107.0, 107.03, 108.01, 111.01, and 113. ~n most cases, these high minority tracts have unusually high FY 2011-~01Z Action Plan 21 concentrations of only one specific minority group. While tracts 107.02 and iD7.03 have very high Hispanic concentrations, the concentration of other minority groups in those tracts are generally no more than average. Similarly, tracts 1D7.D1, 108.01, 111.D1, and 113 contain very high Black concentrations but other minority groups concentrate in those tracts generally no more than average except in Tract 108.01, which has both a high Black and a high American Indian population}, This indicates a tendency of minority groups to concentrate in certain areas of the County, but not in areas where members of any other racial or ethnic group are also concentrated. 2. Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction iior within the EMSA for HOPWA} ~91.215~a}~1}} dining the next year and the rationale for assigning the priorities, - orange County HOME Consortium Response: As a growing community, Orange County and the Towns of Cfiape~,. Hill, Hillsborough and Carrboro must successfully balance a diverse :array of housing end community development issues. Given the range of compe~~ng needs, the `community must invest its scarce public resources wisely. The~e~ore, as.. a general p`r~nciple, the County will attempt to expend public funds in``a way that beverages the'~ommitment of private sector support whenever possible. Through the public participation and consultation process, the County has identified th'~ community's overall goals and priorities as follows: • Provide decent and affordable housing for lout to moderate income households, including providEng affordable rental for X30°/~ AMI residents • Provide housing and .services for homeless populations with special needs • Increase the capacity and~,scope of Public Services 3. Describe actions that ~rrll take place during the next year to address obstacles to meeting unde~se,rved r~ee~s. orange County HoM~ Consort~~m Response: The .following are obstacles to meeting underserved needs in Orange County along with the Consortium's act~~ns that are intended to minimize the impact of these obstacles • The current economic and housing crisis has decreased tax revenues for the County and Tov~ns. Recognizing the heightened scarcity of available public funds, the 'Consortium will seek opportunities for leveraging private funds and will fund those projects of greatest strategic importance to the Consortium. As mixed use mixed income communities continue to add amenities to new home construction, home costs continue to rise in Orange County despite the current housing market slowdown. It is increasingly difficult to fund projects that meet low and moderate income criteria. Orange County will continue to work with local groups, and municipalities, to determine the areas that qualify for funding by researching and evaluating alternative areas. FY 2011-20.2 Action Plan 22 As the population of orange County continues to grow, the lack of affordable land has become a major barrier to the development of Affordable Housing, especially when taking into account that the Town of Chapel Hill and the County will oat develop infrastructure beyond the Urban Services Boundary. By waiving building permit fees and providing zoning incentives, the members of the Consortium plan to minimize the obstacles to affordable housing development. • There are a limited number of developers and builders who are capable of building Affordable Housing. The profit potential for middle and upscale housing draws most builders to that range of developmen ,leaving few contractors willing to work in the Affordable Housing arena. ~Alsa, the high cost of land, costly permitting fees and the length of ,tire to get housing projects approved is prohibitive to the development of Affordable Housing. This obstacle will be mitigated through the waived permi~~ees and zoning incentives already discussed. 4.

CPD NatiG~ OZ-11, which delineates the relevant factors to monitor for determining the risk 'level for the Consortium ar subrecipients. Once projects have :been approved and subrecipients have been issued subrecipient agreements., `the ';sta~i" conducts a four page risk analysis worksheet that looks at Financ~a~ Capacity; N~~nagemen~, Planning and National objectives. Each'subrecipient is graded and ids score is listed in one ~1} of three categories low risk: 0-~3D points; moder~a~e risk: 31-50 points; and high risk; 51-100 points. Based on the ~sco~~,ng for eaen subrecipient, the Consortium determines its annual monitoring s~~edule based on the number of moderate and high risk subrecipients. As a general rule; the staff will monitor on~-site all moderate and high risk subrecipients on an 'annual basis, typically at the midway paint of the Fiscal Year. Conversely, the loW-risk subrecipients are monitored on-site every other Fiscal Year during the same timeframe, and desk reviews are conducted throughout the year. When a subrecipient's risk assessment calls for an on-site monitoring, the following procedures are followed • The PJ reviews its own files an the subrecipient to be monitored, particularly quarterly reports, performance agreements, and payment requests. A visit is made to the subrecipient. P~ staff meets with subrecipient staff, reviews financial and administrative management, and visits program sites.

The subrecipient is given the opportunity to make corrections or provide additions[ information. • Formal assessment letter is sent from the PJ to Director and Board Chairperson for the subrecipient. • The subrecipient submits its response to the assessment Letter. In order to facilitate desk-reviews of subrecipients who are nod monitored on-site, subrecipients are required to submit detailed regular reports that describe the progress of their programs, including rates of expenditure, Quakerly report deadlines are.
