PURPOSE:
To receive citizen comments prior to official closeout of the Whitted Forest Housing Development
Program and authorize execution of the Certificate of Completion and Public Hearing Certification
by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners.
BACKGROUND:
The County received$250,000 in State Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)funds under
the Housing Development category in early 1992. These funds were used to assist the Hillsborough
Affordable Housing Corporation(HAHC) with the site improvements(i.e.. clearing, grading,
utilities)necessary for the construction of a 35 unit rental development in Hillsborough known as
Whitted Forest.
After some delays in receiving final financing commitments for the$1.6 million dollar project,
construction began in the Spring of 1994 and was completed in early 1995. All available CDBG
funds, $250,000 were expended by February 1995. The apartment complex consists of 35 units,
twenty(20)three bedroom units and 20 two bedroom units. Two of the units are handicapped
accessible and four have been designated for use by homeless families. The average family income
is $14,100- $20,900.
In order to complete the grant close-out process,the N.C. Department of Commerce requires that a
public hearing be held prior to the official closeout of the Housing Development Program to assess
the performance of the County in administering the grant program. All comments received during
the hearing should be reviewed to determine the level of consistency with program goals.
