Resolution
PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing and approve submission of the Annual Public Housing
Agency Plan for the Orange County Housing Authority.
BACKGROUND: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD)
requires all agencies operating the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Program to prepare a
Five (5) Year Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan and an Annual Plan. The County's Department
of Housing and Community Development administers the Section 8 Program that provides rent
subsidies to low income families in the County.
The PHA Plan is a 5-year plan that describes the mission of the Agency and the Agency's long-
range goals and objectives for achieving its mission over the next five (5) years -Fiscal Years
2005-2010. The Board of County Commissioners approved the last Five (5) Year Plan on April
19, 2005.
Currently, the Section 8 Housing Program serves approximately 615 families throughout the
County including the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. The program currently
has a waiting list of approximately 2,100 applicants. A complete status report for the program is
attached to this abstract.
HUD provides a template for the plan and the County's Annual Plan is provided with this
abstract. The plan will be made available for public comment for the period April 18, 2008 to
June 3, 2008 as advertised in the Chapel Hill Herald. All public comments received will be
incorporated into the PHA Plan. There are no substantive changes proposed in the Annual Plan
since the Five (5) Year Plan was approved in 2005.
This plan must be filed with HUD and must contain the attached Certification of Compliance/
Board Resolution signed by the Chair of the Board of Commissioners in order to continue to
administer the Section 8 Existing Housing Choice Voucher Program.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for rental subsidies for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher
Program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The current
annual budget for these subsidies is approximately $4,110,972. Funding for the Section 8
Program has not increased over the last three years, however, it is anticipated that new funding
opportunities may be made available by HUD this year.
RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board conduct a public hearing
and approve submission of the Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan for the Orange
County Housing Authority and authorize the Chair to sign the .Certification of Compliance/Board
Resolution on behalf of the Board.

Orange County Section Eight Housing Voucher Choice Program
Status Report
Background
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federally funded rental assistance
program administered by public housing authorities (PHAs) or other government agencies. The
programs' primary purpose is to provide rental assistance to low-income families with affordable
decent, safe, and sanitary housing. Tenants take the voucher and use it to rent homes in the
private market. .Families interested in the program apply to a local housing authority or other
government agency for a Section 8 tenant-based voucher- a voucher that "stays" with the
tenant.
Currently, Section 8 helps more than 1.4 million households in the United States by paying
private landlords the difference between what the household can afford and the rent for the unit.
In Orange County, the program is administered by the Orange County Housing and Community
Development Department and serves approximately 615 families countywide.
The administering housing authority or government agency is also responsible for inspecting the
selected housing unit to make sure it complies with the Housing and Urban Development's
(HUD) Housing Quality Standards and ensuring that the rent charged is reasonable for the local
housing market.
The following information provides summary information regarding the current status of the
Section 8 Program in Orange County.
Funding Capacity
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funding for the Section 8
Program. The approved Section 8 budget for Fiscal Year 2007-2008 is $4,164,334. Given
HUD's funding scheme, this amount allows us to fund approximately 615 vouchers annually.
Increasing rental rates and the bedroom composition of our participants our actual costs are
being monitored closely to. ensure that actual program expenses do not exceed budget
authority. Thus, the total number of units financed by the program may be reduced in the
coming months.
Current Program Characteristics
~ Approximately 254 property owners lease property to 615 on average.
~ Of the 623 units, 599 are designated as tenant based vouchers and 24 vouchers
are designated as project based vouchers for the Club Nova Apartments only.
~ The majority of the rental units are in the Carrboro/Chapel Hill area (Southern
Orange County).
~ Racial family composition: approx. 64% African-American; 34% Caucasian; 1
Other.
~ Of participating families, 54% have an elderly or disabled head of household
while the remaining 46% represent families with many working head of
households.
~ Most families lease two-bedroom units.

Waiting List Status
The current Section 8 Waiting List totals 2,169 families and applications are presently being
accepted in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays only. We are currently purging this waiting
list to be certain that we maintain a current and accurate list of applicants. Applicants are being
contacted by mail and will have until July 31, 2008 to indicate their interest in remaining on the
waiting list by returning the postage paid reply card.

The program presently maintains the following Waiting List Preferences for the applicants that
are:
