BACKGROUND: In February 2011 Orange County was officially awarded a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the N.C. Department of Commerce for a Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Program. Funds from this grant were intended to be used to repair eight (8) deteriorated housing units in the County. All CDBG activities have now been completed and seven (7) homes were substantially rehabilitated. A summary of the program beneficiaries is attached. 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 Scattered Site Housing Rehabilitation Program to assess the performance of the County in administering the grant program. In addition, the County is required to execute the Certificate of Completion form that is attached. FINANCIAL IMPACT: This grant provided $400,000 in the community for the repair of seven (7) homes. The total costs for the completion of the housing rehabilitation plus associated administrative costs is $351,257. Thus, $48,743 will be retained by the State Community Development Program. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board open the public hearing, receive comments as information, close the public hearing and authorize execution of the Certificate of Completion by the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners.
