BACKGROUND: In May 2015, the Five-Year FY 2015-2020 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 (HUD). This document details the housing needs of very low income, low income and moderate-income families and special 2 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 (Orange County HOME Consortium). Each year, local communities are required to submit to the State HUD Office by May 15th an Annual Action Plan that updates and carries out activities and priorities of the Consolidated Plan. This Update includes the 2016 - 2017 HOME Program Action Plan for the Orange County HOME Consortium. A public hearing was held by the BOCC on December 15, 2015 to receive comments regarding community needs and the Updates prior to the development and subsequent submission of the Annual Action Plan to HUD. Public comments received at the hearing are summarized in the Annual Action Plan. A public comment period as required by HUD was established for April 1 — May 2, 2016 by notice in the Chapel Hill Herald and Herald Sun. The Orange County Housing, Human Rights and Community Department accepted comments through May 2, 2016 and will communicate any comments received to HUD as well as to the Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC). Copies of the draft Annual Action Plan were made available at the Orange County Housing, Human Rights and Community Development Main Office. 2016-2017 HOME Program Activities The current Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement establishes a HOME Program Review Committee to provide general oversight of the program. Participants in the HOME Consortium are Orange County and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. The Committee is authorized to provide policy oversight for planning, operations and evaluation of the HOME Program. The Manager or his/her designee from each participating unit of local government and one (1) elected official from each jurisdiction shall be a member. For Orange County, Commissioner Mark Dorosin serves on this Committee. Orange County serves as the lead entity for the Consortium. The HOME Program Review Committee prepares a proposed HOME program design each year and a 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 repayments 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 HOME Program Review Committee reviewed applications for HOME Program funding and developed the proposed HOME Program Design for the 2016-2017 Program Year. The Orange County HOME Consortium is scheduled to receive $308,538 in FY 2016 HOME Program funding. The FY 2015 HOME Program funding was $311,832. While HOME funding is a vital resource in carrying out affordable housing activities, it continues to decline. Other additional available funding includes $38,069 in HOME program income; $69,421 in HOME Program match funds; and the reallocation of $64,481 available for Fiscal Year 2016- 2017. All available HOME funding totals $480,509. Two (2) applications were received from local non-profit organizations totaling $335,000: 3 • a request in the amount of $285,000 from Habitat for Humanity; and • a request in the amount of $50,000 from Rebuilding Together the Triangle. The Consortium also recommended $114,655 for Housing Rehabilitation requested by the Orange County Housing, Human Rights and Community Development Department and $30,854 in Program Administration (the allowed 10% of the grant award.) The recommended program design is detailed in the attached Resolution. In accordance with the Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement approved in May 2011, the HOME Program Design for each year must be approved by all jurisdictions prior to submission to HUD. The Program Design was scheduled for approval by the Town of Carrboro Board of Aldermen on May 3rd. It will be considered by the Town of Hillsborough Board of Commissioners on May 9th. The Design was approved by the Town of Chapel Hill Town Council on April 11, 2016. The BOCC is therefore asked to consider approval of the attached HOME Program Resolution. HOME Program Implementation After approval of the 2016-2017 HOME Program design by all Consortium participants, authorization is also requested to allow the Orange County Manager to execute agreements with partnering non-profit organizations as necessary to implement the approved HOME Program design. All agreements will receive the review and approval of the County Attorney's office. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County HOME Consortium is scheduled to receive $308,538 in FY 2016 HOME Program funding. The required total local government match is $69,421. Orange County's share of the match is $27,768 which will be allocated upon the BOCC's approval from the County's General Fund. There is also $38,069 in HOME program income and the reallocation of $64,481 in HOME program funds, providing a total of $480,509 available for programming for the next fiscal year. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable to this item: • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND INEQUITY The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic status. • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. 4 • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions.

Introduction The Orange County, North Carolina, HOME Consortium is an entitlement community under the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development's (HUD) HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME). Under the HOME Program, local governments are able to join together to form a consortium in order to receive HOME funding for affordable housing.The Orange County HOME Consortium is made up of four (4) members: Orange County, the Town of Carrboro, the Town of Chapel Hill, and the Town of Hillsborough. The Town of Chapel Hill also receives federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding each year. Orange County is the Participating Jurisdiction (PJ)for the HOME Consortium. As an entitlement community, the Orange County HOME Consortium is required to complete an annual application for the use of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD).The Annual Action Plan is a guide to how the County will allocate its resources for specific activities that support the Goals and Objectives of Orange County HOME Consortium's Five Year Consolidated Plan.This is the Orange County HOME Consortium's second Annual Action Plan of the FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan. The Five Year Plan describes the housing and non-housing needs of County residents and presents a five-year strategy to address those needs. The FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan for the Orange County HOME Consortium includes the Consortium's HOME Program and outlines which activities the Consortium will undertake during the program year. The Federal Fiscal Year begins October 1st and ends September 30th of each year. The Orange County Fiscal Year begins July 1st and ends June 30th of each year. The Federal Fiscal Year is abbreviated as "FFY" and the Orange County Program Year is abbreviated as "PY." This Annual Action Plan is for funds from Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 which began on October 1, 2015 and which will end on September 30, 2016. Therefore, the Annual Action Plan is FFY 2016. However, it is for the Five Year Program Year of 2017. The FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan outlines the actions to be undertaken in Federal Fiscal Year 2016 with the Federal resources to be received by the Orange County HOME Consortium.The FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan excludes the Town of Chapel Hill's CDBG program since the Town is a Federal Entitlement that receives its own CDBG allocations from HUD.The HOME Program and activities outlined in this FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan will principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons and funding has been targeted to areas of the County where there is the highest percentage of low-and moderate-income residents.The Annual Action Plan does not incorporate the Public Housing Authority's Comprehensive Grant(Comp Grant) process into this consolidated Annual Action Plan 1 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 11 planning and application process, but the public housing authority participated in the planning process for the development of this plan. The Orange County HOME Consortium is receiving $308,538 from HOME funds for the FFY 2016 program year. This is a reduction from $311,832 in FFY 2015, $351,540 in FFY 2014, and a substantial reduction from $728,277 in FFY 2010, the start of the previous five-year planning period. The Orange County HOME Consortium also anticipates receiving $38,069 in program income. Five Year Consolidated Plan: The Five Year Consolidated Plan relied upon efforts of many individuals, organizations and citizens, in the development of a comprehensive strategy to address the needs of the County.The goal of Orange County is to improve the quality of life for County residents by funding improvements to public facilities, infrastructure, public services, and by retaining and increasing the stock of affordable owner and rental housing units. This planning process also involves an analysis of HUD Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, which provides statistical data on housing needs. To prepare its estimates and projections, 2007-2011 American Community Survey Estimates and the 2010 U.S. Census are used. This data is the most current information available to assess housing needs, homeless needs, special needs, social service needs, economic development needs, and other related needs. In HUD's assessment of Consortia across the county, those who truly meet the HOME program goals to address the most pressing affordable housing needs look less at geographic boundaries in their operations.Those Consortia allocate funding according to local needs, capacity to use the funds and a regional strategy that addresses the broader housing needs of the Consortium as a whole—for the success and betterment of the whole—for a better quality of life and economic vitality for all the communities individually and collectively. Greatest Needs The elderly population of Orange County (age 62 and above) is 15,979 persons which represents 12.1%of the total County's population. However, there are 200 assisted rental housing units for the elderly out of a total of 20,234 renter-occupied housing units which is 1.0% of the renter- occupied units. As the County's population ages in place, there will be less available elderly units and a higher demand for those units. It is estimated that at least 450 new affordable housing units for the elderly are needed. As part of the Master Aging Plan, Orange County aims to offer an array of housing options that reflects the diverse preferences and abilities of an older adult population. Orange County needs to conceptualize a continuum of housing types to accommodate rapid growth in its senior population and invest in the development of preferred housing models. Annual Action Plan 2 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 12 The condition of the owner occupied housing stock is fairly sound. However, rental housing units range from fair to poor. Many of the higher quality rental housing units are located in the urban centers and close to the universities.The lower quality rental housing units are located in the rural areas. Improved code enforcement is needed to address these housing deficiencies. There is also a lack of "accessible" housing units in the County that serve the needs of the physically disabled. Not including elderly housing units, it appears that there is a need for at least 150 new housing units that are accessible to persons with physical disabilities. Presently, there are 84 accessible housing units for the disabled in LIHTC Projects. There is a continuing need for "affordable" and "accessible" housing in Orange County. The existing housing is sound and there appears to be an adequate supply of market-rate housing.The County has a growing population, and new construction and rehabilitation work is increasing again as evidenced by the number of building and renovation permits issued throughout the County. Real estate values continue to rise, which benefits property owners and most homeowners. However, these rising real estate values negatively impact very low-, low-, and moderate-income households who are increasingly cost-overburdened in their homes by 30 to 50 percent or greater; additionally, this hurts those who cannot find affordable housing and are having to increasingly seek housing outside of the County or live in substandard conditions not by choice, but necessity. Housing values (both rental and real estate) have increased with the rise in the number of households to the area. This increase has been especially burdensome on low- and moderate- income renter households.A decrease in the quality and the quantity of affordable rental housing has placed many of the very low-income households at imminent risk of becoming homeless. It is estimated that there are approximately 1,600 owner and renter occupied housing units that are suitable for rehabilitation work in Orange County. However,the cost of rehabilitation exceeds the income and assets of many low- and moderate-income persons. Therefore, many of these housing units will remain vacant and or in substandard, deteriorating conditions since the financial resources are not available to rehabilitate the housing units.There is a need for increased local, state, federal, and private funds to provide financial assistance to lower income families to rehabilitate properties for more affordable housing. In addition, 20,899 housing units (40.5%) were built before 1980, and therefore have a potential to be a lead-based paint hazard. For Orange County, it is estimated that 15%of low or moderate income families living in owner-occupied units are at risk of lead-based paint hazards and that 25% of low or moderate income families living in rental units are at risk of lead-based paint hazards. There is a dire lack of affordable housing for the very-low income in Orange County. Unfortunately, there are no new funding sources for permanent housing that replaces Public Housing to meet the housing needs of the very-low income. The County should encourage and support private and non-profit development entities to build more LIHTC high quality affordable Annual Action Plan 3 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 13 housing developments throughout the County, especially in the urban areas (though in urban areas cost and the lack of available land make this almost prohibitive). Therefore, opportunities for infill development and acquisition and or rehabilitation in these areas should be encouraged to meet affordable housing needs and opportunities for access to transportation, services and employment. The areas impacted with cost overburdened households are located in and around the urban areas of the County.These areas contain the largest concentration of employment opportunities and public and private amenities but lack affordable housing. The urban areas of the County have the most public and community facilities. These areas also contain the majority of available public transportation. The urban neighborhoods contain many of the County's employment opportunities and existing housing stock. However, these areas are cost prohibitive for low-and moderate-income persons. Orange County has a community health clinic and UNC Hospital System are relatively inexpensive. However, there is still a need for more free healthcare for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.There is a great need for Mental Health and Substance Abuse case management and treatment for people experiencing,and at risk of, homelessness.Orange County Employment Services need to increase focus and resources to assist this population, including people with criminal histories and youth aging out of foster care. According to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey data, Orange County has an unemployment rate of 5.83%which is lower than the North Carolina unemployment rate of 9.7% for that same period. However, in Orange County,there are 16,750 workers and 18,050 jobs.The unemployment rate is also larger in the 16-24 age group as opposed to older age groups. According to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey data, there are job deficiencies (the number of qualified workers exceeds the number of jobs available) in certain sectors. Conversely, Orange County is also experiencing an employment deficiency (the number of jobs available exceeds the number of qualified workers) in certain sectors. The County should continue to support and encourage new job creation, job retention, employment, youth employment, job training services, and educational developmental opportunities, especially for low- and moderate-income persons that help to close these gaps. Maps: Included in this Plan in the Exhibits Section are the following maps which illustrate the demographic characteristics of Orange County: • Population Density by Block Group • Percent White Population by Block Group • Percent Minority Population by Block Group • Percent Population Age 65+ by Block Group Annual Action Plan 4 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 14 • Population Age 65+ by Quarter Mile Grid • Total Housing Units by Block Points • Percent Owner-Occupied Housing Units by Block Group • Percent Renter-Occupied Housing Units by Block Group • Percent Vacant Housing Units by Block Group • Low/Moderate Income Percentage by Block Group • Low/Moderate Income with Minority Percentage • Commercial Hotspots in Orange County, North Carolina 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan. The goal of the Orange County HOME Consortium is to improve the quality of life for County residents by retaining and increasing the supply of affordable housing units for both owner occupants and renters and by providing homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate- income residents. During the FFY 2016 CDBG Program Year, the County proposes to address the following priority need categories identified in its Five Year Consolidated Plan: The priority ranking of needs for housing, homelessness, other special needs, community development, economic development, and anti-poverty are as follows: Housing Priority(High Priority) There is a need to improve the quality of the housing stock in the County by increasing the amount of decent, safe, sound, and accessible housing for homeowners, renters, and homebuyers that is affordable to low-and moderate-income persons and families. Goals/Strategies: • HS-1 Housing Rehabilitation - Continue to provide financial assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners to rehabilitate their existing owner-occupied housing. • HS-4 Home Ownership - Assist low- and moderate-income households to become homeowners by providing down payment assistance,closing cost assistance, and housing counseling training including Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders. Administration, Planning,and Management Priority(High Priority) There is a continuing need for planning, administration, management, and oversight of federal, state, and local funded programs as well as an increasing need for cooperation and collaboration amongst public and private partners and the communities in the Consortium in addressing Annual Action Plan 5 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 15 affordable housing, preservation, and development needs of the region that ultimately affect the quality of life for all residents. Goal/Strategy: • AM-1 Overall Coordination - Provide program management and oversight for the successful administration and leveraging of federal, state, and local funded programs, including support of collaborative initiatives, research and planning services for special studies,environmental clearance,fair housing,and compliance with all federal,state,and local laws and regulations. 3. Evaluation of past performance This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects. Orange County has a good performance record with HUD and the County regularly meets the performance standards HUD establishes. The County prepares its Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) each year. This report is submitted within ninety (90) days after the start of the new program year. Copies of the CAPER are available for review at Orange County Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development Department, 300 W.Tryon Street, Hillsborough, NC. Orange County includes the Town of Chapel Hill's performance under its CDBG Program in the County's CAPER. The FFY 2014 CAPER, which was the fourth CAPER for the FY 2010-2014 Five Year Consolidated Plan, was approved by HUD. In the FFY 2014 CAPER, the Town of Chapel Hill expended 100% of its CDBG funds to benefit low-and moderate-income persons.The Town expended 11.91%of its funds during the FFY 2014 CAPER period on public service,which is below the statutory maximum of 15%. The Town expended 10.54% of its funds during this CAPER period on Planning and Administration, which is below the statutory maximum of 20%. The Town is in compliance with the required 1.5 maximum drawdown ratio. The HOME program is being administered in a timely manner and in accordance with applicable activity limitations and match requirements.The Orange County HOME Consortium has also met the 15%Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) requirement. 4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process Summary from citizen participation section of plan. Annual Action Plan 6 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 16 The Annual Action Plan is made up of multiple components, which include: funding applications from municipalities/social service agencies and housing organizations; citizen participation; and the development of the Annual Action Plan. Each item of the plan helps benefit the low-and moderate-income population in Orange County. Orange County has an approved Citizen Participation Plan, as required by HUD, on file with HUD and at the Orange County Department of Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development. The County abided by its Citizen Participation Plan in the preparation and development of the FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan. The first step of the planning process for the FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan started with holding one (1) public hearing to obtain citizen input on the needs of Orange County. The first needs hearing was held on Tuesday, December 15, 2015 at 7:00 PM at the Southern Human Services Center located at 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. The first needs hearing was published on December 2, 2015 in "The Herald-Sun", posted on the County's website and emails were sent to local municipalities and non-profit agencies/organizations. At the public hearing, residents had the opportunity to give their input and thoughts on the housing, community development, and economic development needs in Orange County and how the HOME funds should best be spent to benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The Orange County Department of Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development held a Funding Application Orientation Workshop on Wednesday, December 2, 2015 at 9:00am in the Chapel Hill Public Library located at 100 Library Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Applications for CDBG and HOME funding were due back to the County by 2:00 PM on Monday,January 25, 2016. Information was also available on the Orange County Department of Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development's website. The Final Public Hearing Notice was published on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. At the Public Hearing, held on Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 7:00PM residents were given the opportunity to comment on the "draft" version of the FFY 2016 Annual Action Plan and which projects/activities would be funded with FFY 2016 CDBG funds.

Input from the meetings and surveys were used in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). Orange County works with the following agencies to enhance coordination: • Orange County Housing Authority—The County provides funds for the operation of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. • Chapel Hill Office of Housing Community Development — The Town of Chapel Hill provides funds for public improvements. • Social Services Agencies — The County provides funds to improve services to low- and moderate-income persons. • Housing Providers —The County provides funds to rehabilitate and develop affordable housing and provide housing options for low-and moderate-income households. Each year, as part of the HOME application planning process, local agencies and organizations are invited to submit proposals for HOME funds for eligible activities.These groups participate in the planning process by attending the public hearings,informational meetings,and completing survey forms. Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The number of landlords who accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers has been steadily decreasing; for example, the largest landlord in the County no long accepts Section 8 Vouchers or VASH. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The Orange County HOME Consortium will undertake the following to address the needs of Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher holders: • Work to increase the number of landlords willing to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program • Address lead-based paint hazards in Section 8 Housing Units • Encourage Section 8 Voucher holders to use the vouchers for mortgage assistance in purchasing a home Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The Orange County Department of Housing, Human Rights, and Community Development has resident involvement on the public housing board. The Department is encouraging more participation by Section 8 Voucher holders to become homeowners. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Public Housing Authority is not designated as 'troubled.' Discussion Affordable housing remains one of the largest unmet needs in Orange County.There are no public housing units that are administered by the County. Annual Action Plan 37 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 47 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities - 91.420, 91.220(i) Introduction The Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness spearheaded collaboration efforts amongst homeless organizations, social service groups, governments, and private enterprises to address the homeless and special needs populations of Orange County.The homeless population in Orange County is estimated to increase in size due to the rising cost of housing in the County. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including: Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness' 100,000 Homes Taskforce is comprised of approximately twenty (20) housing and service providers that interact with people who are chronically and/or vulnerably homeless, many with disabilities. The CoC uses its Coordinated Entry system to assess their needs, score their level of need, and prioritize them for Permanent Supportive Housing. The Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness PATH street outreach program is administered by Housing for New Hope.The program has been successful. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Inter-Faith Council for Social Service(IFC)provides 50 Emergency Shelter beds for men(w/20 overflow on bad weather nights)and 14 beds for women(2 overflow). Unfortunately,the agency is closing its men's shelter and is building a transitional housing facility with 52 beds, leaving an unmet need for Emergency Shelter beds for men. IFC also runs a Transitional Housing Program for women with 10 units and a 30 bed capacity. Both facilities have been consistently full over the past year-plus. The County does not have a Domestic Violence shelter, but needs one. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The CoC implements a Rapid Rehousing program with state ESG money. Currently, the program serves approximately 20 households with $100,000 each year. This program needs to be expanded and strengthened with local funding. The CoC's Plan to End Homelessness and its overall approach to ending and preventing homelessness is based on HEARTH and Federal Strategic Plan to End Homelessness goals Annual Action Plan 38 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 48 and strategies. Over the past several years,the CoC established a Support Circles program to help people transition from homelessness to permanent housing. The Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness is changing its HMIS Administrator this year to the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness (MCAH) in the hope that the new vendor will help the CoC collect higher quality and more complete data to be used to inform program performance as well as funding and policy decisions. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. The CoC partners with UNC Hospitals and the DSS Foster Care division. The CoC's 2015 Plan to End Homelessness includes a goal to develop discharge policies with local and regional institutions. The CoC developed and implemented Outreach Court over the past four (4) years; it is now North Carolina's first specialty court for people experiencing homelessness that offers mental health evaluations and treatment plans in lieu of going to jail for misdemeanor crimes.

Annual Action Plan 39 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 49 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing - 91.420, 91.220(j) Introduction The Orange County HOME Consortium is in the process of completing an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (Al) as required by HUD. This document will be released later this year. It will include an analysis of Orange County's laws, regulations, and administrative policies, procedures, and practices affecting the location, availability, and accessibility of housing, in addition to an assessment of conditions, both public and private, affecting fair housing choice. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment To address the Impact Fee, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted an impact fee reimbursement policy, which provides funds to nonprofit housing developers constructing rental and owner-occupied housing. This enables non-profits to pay these fees without passing the costs on to the prospective renters or homebuyers. With this reimbursement, the Board works to alleviate barriers to affordable housing. Strategies have been designed to help eliminate or reduce the impact of the identified barriers. The following recommendations are included in the Al promote fair housing for the Orange County Consortium: • Increase the educational opportunities and provide training relating to Fair Housing through workshops,forums and presentations. • Target specific protected groups for fair housing information. • Continue to consult with local lending institutions. • Provide training to housing providers and consumers about their obligations and rights. • Continue to work with the County and Town governments to develop appropriate legislation and ordinances to assist with the development of affordable housing. • Monitor and track the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance enacted by the Town of Chapel Hill for effectiveness in the development of affordable housing and utilize it as a model ordinance for adoption by the Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough and Orange County for implementation if positive results are determined. The affordable housing provisions of the proposed Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance drafted by the Town of Chapel Hill apply to homeownership developments in any of the following categories: • Single-family or two-family development or subdivision of land to create residential lots that involve: at least five (5) single-family dwelling units or two-family dwelling units; or at least five (5) single-family lots; or two-family lots in which six (6) or more residential units are allowed by Annual Action Plan 40 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 50 the Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance, either individually or as part of the same subdivision. • Multi-family unit developments that create at least five (5) multi-family dwelling units; or • Renovation or reconstruction of an existing building that contains multi-family dwelling units and increases the number of dwelling units in the original structure by at least five (5); or • Any change in use of all or part of an existing building from a non-residential use to a residential use that has at least five (5) dwelling units. For development applications involving any of the above, provisions for affordable housing must be included as part of the development proposal. As with other types of development, Orange County's supply of affordable housing is dictated by a variety of factors, the most significant being project affordability, availability of land and infra-structure, developer preference for building high-end housing, and government regulation. To address the Educational Impact Fee, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted an impact fee reimbursement policy, which provides funds to non-profit housing developers constructing rental and owner-occupied housing to enable them to pay the fee without passing the cost to the prospective renters or homebuyers. With this reimbursement, the Board works to alleviate barriers to affordable housing. Discussion Not Applicable. Annual Action Plan 41 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 51 AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) Introduction The Orange County HOME Consortium has developed the following actions which address obstacles to meeting underserved needs,fosters affordable housing, reduces lead-based hazards, reduces the number of poverty families, develops institutional structures, and enhances coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Despite County and service provider efforts, there remains a significant number of obstacles to meeting underserved needs.The following are obstacles to meeting these needs in Orange County: • The demand created by a continued population growth, including growth from the University, creates a housing shortage. • A tight rental housing market and escalating rental rates in the urban areas of the County increases costs for all income levels. • There is a lack of housing choice for people aging in place. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The Orange County HOME Consortium will undertake the following activities to foster and maintain affordable housing: • HOME-15-01 Habitat for Humanity—Second Mortgage Assistance (12 houses) • HOME-15-02 Rebuilding Together of the Triangle—Homeowner Repairs (3 households) • HOME-15-03 Orange County—Housing Rehabilitation (4 houses) Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards In Orange County, evaluations (risk assessments) of lead-based paint in housing units will be conducted on a case-by-case basis and lead abatement will be prescribed as needed for dwellings targeted for rehabilitation. In addition,all assisted housing tenants will be informed of the hazards of lead-based paint. The Orange County Health Department will provide ongoing consultation to local housing staff. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The Anti-Poverty Strategy is the unifying thread that ties the housing, homeless, public housing and non- housing community development strategies together as one comprehensive plan for reducing the number of families that fall below the poverty level. In addressing each of the three (3) components below, the Annual Action Plan 42 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 52 Anti-Poverty Strategy simultaneously links and implements the various strategies, goals and objectives contained throughout this Consolidated Plan to promote self-sufficiency and empowerment. Actions planned to develop institutional structure With the creation of the Community Home Trust, Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough demonstrated the desire to cooperate among the several jurisdictions to provide the best housing assistance that will serve the low-income residents of Orange County. With respect to coordination of resources, funded agencies will communicate with appropriate staff regarding projects in progress, applications submitted to state and federal funding agencies, programs that are particularly successful or troublesome, and other sharing of information and sources of funds. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The existing coordination of services has been enhanced with the creation of the Orange County HOME Consortium whose members include Orange County, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough. Additionally, in an effort to facilitate communication with other local housing nonprofit organizations,the members of the HOME Program Consortium will convene semi-annual meetings with these organizations. Items shared during these meetings will include clarification of federal and state housing program regulations and discussion of local housing programs and initiatives. Discussion The Orange County HOME Consortium will use its limited financial resources to address the needs identified in this plan. Annual Action Plan 43 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 53 Program Specific Requirements AP-90 Program Specific Requirements - 91.420, 91.220(1)(1,2,4) Introduction The Orange County HOME Consortium receives an annual allocation of HOME funds. Since the Orange County HOME Consortium receives this Federal allocation, the questions below have been completed as they are applicable. HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(1)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: The Orange County HOME Consortium uses cash as its local match for HOME funds. Orange County also contributes financially to administrative costs for the operation of the program. 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: All properties receiving financial assistance from Orange County for homeownership activities must ensure that the housing remain affordable to families with incomes of 80% or less of the area median for at least 99 years from the date of initial assistance. Right of First Refusal A right of first refusal or right to purchase is accomplished by means of a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants on the property purchased by the first-time homebuyer. Any assignment, sale, transfer,conveyance,or other disposition of the property will not be effective unless the following procedures are followed. If the original homebuyer or any subsequent qualified homebuyer contemplates a transfer to a non-low-income household,the buyer must send Orange County and/or the sponsoring nonprofit organization a notice of intent to sell at least 90 days before the expected closing date. If Orange County and/or the sponsoring nonprofit organization elect to exercise its right of refusal, it will notify the buyer within 30 days of its receipt of the notice and will purchase the property within 90 days. If neither Orange County nor the sponsoring nonprofit organization advises the buyer in a timely fashion of its intent to purchase the property, then the Buyer is free to transfer the property in accordance with the equity sharing provisions described below. Annual Action Plan 44 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 54 Equity Sharing Orange County provides its financial assistance as deferred second loans secured by a 40-year Deed of Trust and Promissory Note, forgivable at the end of 40 years. This Deed of Trust and Promissory Note constitutes a lien on the property, subordinate only to private construction financing or permanent first mortgage financing. The 99-year period of affordability for each individual housing unit is secured by a declaration of restrictive covenants that incorporate a right of first refusal that may be exercised by a sponsoring nonprofit organization and/or Orange County. This declaration of restrictive covenants is further secured by a deed of trust. The nonprofit organization and/or the County are responsible for compliance with the affordability requirement throughout the affordability period, unless affordability restrictions are terminated due to the sale of the property to a non-qualified buyer. If the buyer no longer uses the property as a principal residence or is unable to continue ownership, then the buyer must sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of their interest in the property to a new homebuyer whose annual income does not exceed 80% of the area median. However, if the property is sold during the affordability period to a non-qualified homebuyer to be used as their principal residence, the net sales proceeds or "equity" will be divided equally between the seller and the County. If the initial County contribution does not have to be repaid because the sale occurs more than 40 years after the County contribution is made,then the seller and the County will divide the entire equity realized from the sale. Any proceeds from the recapture of funds will be used to facilitate the acquisition, construction, and/or rehabilitation of housing for the purposes of promoting affordable housing. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: If the Pi will use HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is being rehabilitated with HOME funds, it must state its refinancing guidelines required under § 92.206(b). The guidelines shall describe the conditions under which the Pi will refinance existing debt. At a minimum these guidelines must: • Demonstrate that rehabilitation is the primary eligible activity and ensure that this requirement is met by establishing a minimum level of rehabilitation per unit or a required ratio between rehabilitation and refinancing. • Require a review of management practices to demonstrate that disinvestments in the property have not occurred;that the long-term needs of the project can be met; and that the feasibility of serving the targeted population over an extended affordability period can be demonstrated. • State whether the new investment is being made to maintain current affordable units, create additional affordable units, or both. Annual Action Plan 45 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 55 • Specify the required period of affordability, whether it is the minimum 15 years or longer. • Specify whether the investment of HOME funds may be jurisdiction-wide or limited to a specific geographic area, such as a neighborhood identified in a neighborhood revitalization strategy under 24 CFR 91.215(e)(2) or a Federally Designated Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community. • State that HOME funds cannot be used to refinance multifamily loans made or insured by any federal program, including CDBG. RECAPTURE PROVISIONS The HOME recapture provisions are established in §92.253(a)(5)(ii), and unlike the resale approach, permit the original homebuyer to sell the property to any willing buyer during the period of affordability while the Pi is able to recapture all or a portion of the HOME-assistance provided to the original homebuyer. Two key concepts in the recapture requirements — direct subsidy to the homebuyer and net proceeds - must be understood in order to determine the amount of HOME assistance subject to recapture, and the applicable period of affordability on the unit. The recapture approach requires that all or a portion of the direct subsidy provided to the homebuyer be recaptured from the net proceeds of the sale. Direct HOME subsidy is the amount of HOME assistance, including any program income that enabled the homebuyer to buy the unit.The direct subsidy includes down payment, closing costs, interest subsidies, or other HOME assistance provided directly to the homebuyer. In addition, direct subsidy includes any assistance that reduced the purchase price from fair market value to an affordable price. If HOME funds are used for the cost of developing a property and the unit is sold below fair market value,the difference between the fair market value and the purchase price is considered to be directly attributable to the HOME subsidy. Net proceeds are defined as the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs. Under no circumstances can the Pi recapture more than is available from the net proceeds of the sale. Recapture provisions cannot be used when a project receives only a development subsidy and is sold at fair market value, because there is no direct HOME subsidy to recapture from the homebuyer. Instead, resale provisions must be used. The recapture option is used by most Pis because it is generally easier to administer than the resale option. The recapture option works well when the sale of the property will most likely preserve affordability without the imposition of resale restriction. Annual Action Plan 46 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 56 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: Homebuyer housing with a recapture agreement is not subject to the affordability requirements after the Pi has recaptured the HOME funds in accordance with its written agreement. If the ownership of the housing is conveyed pursuant to a foreclosure or other involuntary sale, the Pi must attempt to recoup any net proceeds that may be available through the foreclosure sale. Because all recapture provisions must be limited to net proceeds, the Pi's repayment obligation is limited to the amount of the HOME subsidy, if any, that it is able to recover. The written agreement between the homebuyer and the Pi, as well as mortgage and lien documents are typically used to impose the recapture requirements in HOME-assisted homebuyer projects under recapture provisions.The purpose of these enforcement mechanisms is to ensure that the Pi recaptures the direct subsidy to the HOME-assisted homebuyer if the HOME-assisted property is transferred. Unlike the resale option, deed restrictions, covenants running with the land,or other similar mechanisms are not required by the HOME rule to be used in homebuyer projects under the recapture option. However, many Pi's choose to use these mechanisms for enforcing the affordability period and as notification of the transfer of the property. Discussion Not Applicable.

Public Comments a. Matters not on the Printed Agenda Barbara Driscoll, President of the Eno River Association, said the group is celebrating its 50th anniversary. She said there will be 50 hikes on the Eno River this year, and she hoped the Commissioners would join them on some of these hikes. Robin Jacobs, Executive Director of the Eno River Association, thanked the Board of County Commissioners' (BOCC)commitment and support throughout the years. She said there will be a celebration of the 50th Anniversary on February 20, 2016. She distributed the Association's yearly calendar to all of the Commissioners Chair McKee acknowledged the long-term commitment of the Eno River Association and thanked them for their work. 71 If the Board should adopt the proposed ordinance designating the Hester House as a Local Landmark,the owner of the property would be eligible for a 50-percent property tax deferral. A preliminary calculation by DEAPR staff shows that the property tax would be reduced from the present amount of$2,241 to approximately$1,350.Tax Administration staff will determine a final calculation. (The current assessed value for the home and land -18.17 acres total -equals$235,500. The estimated assessed value after Landmark designation equals$140,000 based on the house plus approximately 7 acres being included in the final designation ) Peter Sandbeck made a PowerPoint presentation containing photographs of the site, and recognized the HPC members in attendance tonight. He also recognized the owners of the property in question this evening. Peter Sandbeck said the public hearing will be held, and then the Board of County Commissioners will be asked to adopt the proposed revised ordinance. Commissioner Price asked if Peter Sandbeck or the property owners were going to go for National Historic Designation. The owner said the previous owner had tried, but it was found that the property did not have enough significance. She said the property is sitting on the study list for the National Register. PUBLIC COMMENT: NONE Commissioner Price commended the property owners. She said she served on the HPC and wondered how this couple would accomplish this feat, but noted they have done a phenomenal job. A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs for the Board to close the public hearing. VOTE: UNANIMOUS A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Rich for the Board to approve and authorize the Chair to sign the designation ordinance.. VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Orange County Consolidated Plan -Annual Action Plan Needs Hearing The Board considered receiving comments from the public regarding the housing and non-housing needs to be included in the Annual Action Plan Update of the 2016-2017 Consolidated Housing Plan for Housing and Community Development Programs in Orange County. Audrey Spencer-Horsley, Director of the Housing, Human Rights and Community Development, reviewed the following information: In May 2015 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(HUD). 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. Each year, local communities are required to reassess the needs of the community.This public hearing provides an opportunity for the public, public agencies and other interested parties to provide input into the Annual Action Plan Update.. In addition,the public may comment on proposed uses of an estimated$311,832 in 2016-2017 funds. Information regarding the 72 actual Congressional allocation is not available at this time. Eligible HOME Program activities 9 9 include: acquisition; new construction; housing rehabilitation; and rental assistance. The Orange County Board of Commissioners, as a member of the Orange County HOME Consortium, approved $450,317 in HOME Program funds for FY 2014—2015.All program funds have been allocated to projects and 51%has been expended to-date. The Board of Commissioners approved$412,638 in HOME Program Funds for FY 2015-2016.This year's allocation of HOME funds is pending environmental assessments/reviews and subsequent contractual agreements.The HOME compliance deadlines are a two(2)year commitment reservation of funds and a five (5)year expenditure requirement. An application form has been designed for agencies interested in accessing HOME funds for local housing projects HOME funding will be awarded through a joint application process. The deadline for completing the application form is January 25, 2016.The Home Program Review Committee will then review the applications received and make recommendations regarding funding for consideration by the local elected officials in April 2016. The 2016 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD on or before May 13,2016. In order to inform the general public of this opportunity and encourage participation, notices have been placed in The Chapel Hill News, News of Orange, and The Herald-Sun, and also sent to local non-profit agencies and placed on local websites. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County HOME Consortium expects to receive an allocation of$311,832 in HOME Program funds for 2016-2017;the same level as last fiscal year. Chair McKee opened the public hearing. Commissioner Rich asked if the members of the Home Program Review Committee could be identified. Audrey Spencer Horsley said Commissioner Dorosin is one member, and the remainder of the Committee is made up of other officials from the municipalities, plus support staff. Commissioner Rich asked if this is an on-going committee. Audrey Spencer Horsley said the Committee meets as needed to decide on funding. Commissioner Dorosin referred to page 3 of the consolidated plan summary and asked if the highest identified needs are low wealth elderly residents, rental housing for low income, and housing for low-income residents with disabilities. Audrey Spencer Horsley said that is correct. Commissioner Dorosin asked if those priorities would be driving the consideration of how funds are distributed.. Audrey Spencer Horsley said it is the intent of the consolidated plan for the community to talk about the needs in the community, and how HOME funding should be used.. Commissioner Dorosin said there are more requests than there are funds available, and the purpose of having this consolidated plan is to determine the priorities on which to focus. Commissioner Jacobs asked if this is this going to be folded into Audrey Spencer Horsley's presentation regarding the bond package after the New Year. Audrey Spencer Horsley said yes.. Commissioner Pelissier referred to the statements made about the need for greater code enforcement in lower income, rural areas. She asked if there are plans to address these needs. Audrey Spencer Horsley said the County would address portions of the plan,while other portions will be given to the private sector to address. Commissioner Jacobs said he has raised this issue before, and that he was told for many years that there are residents in northern Orange County that do not have running water. He said staff response has been that people do not want the County to look at these issues because their land may not perk. He said he finds this response inadequate, and he asked Ms. 73 Spencer Horsley if this need is being reviewed and if there are any policies that may be written moving forward Commissioner Jacobs said this may no longer be an issue, but he would like to know. He suggested doing some outreach in these areas to assess the current status. Audrey Spencer Horsley noted his comments. PUBLIC COMMENT: Robert Dowling, Executive Director of Community Home Trust, said he was reviewing older information,as they are currently moving their offices, and he reviewed many of the accomplishments of the Community Housing Trust. He said many mistakes have been made over the years. He noted four main themes: how much need there continues to be for affordable housing, how much money is needed, how difficult it is to resolve issues and how easy it is to spend money inefficiently. He said we are in a vexing business and as they move forward with their strategic planning,there are better and worse uses of HOME funding.. He asked the Board to try to focus its efforts on what is feasible to get done with limited resources. He said there are other assets in the County, and he encouraged the Board to make use of all of them: non-profits,for profits,school governments, etc. Eviva Scully, School Social Worker, asked if the criteria to identify someone as extremely low wealth could be clarified. Audrey Spencer Horsley said the national standard of affordable housing is HUD's definition: 30% of one's income is considered as affordable. She said extreme low income is based on the county's median income, and 80%would be considered moderate income,50% would be considered low income, and 30%of the county's median income would be considered extremely low income. She said the poverty line is also another benchmark Mark Marcoplos said there are a lot of unknowns regarding poverty conditions in Orange County, and information is needed. He said since there is not a large amount of HOME funding, perhaps it may be valuable to fund a position to go around and look at and investigate these issues Susan Levy's via email: Dear Orange County Commissioners, I regret that I am unable to attend tonight's public hearing due to a prior commitment, but I would like to offer the following comments on the use of HOME 2016-17 HOME funds, and ask that they be entered into the record. HOME funding continues to be a critical factor in Habitats home and community building efforts throughout Orange County.To date, Habitat has provided affordable homeownership for 270 families in Orange County, and used HOME funds to leverage millions of dollars in private funding for the majority of those 270 homes. Today, in part because of HOME funding, • 50 families call Phoenix Place home. We completed this subdivision of green certified home in the Rogers Road community in 2014. • The Fairview community has seen a rise in its homeownership rate and a reduction in its crime rate with the addition of 50 Habitat homes, • 9 homes have been completed in Tinnin Woods,our subdivision in Efland-Cheeks Township,and another 10 are under construction. This year,we are requesting approximately$285,000 in HOME funding for two projects. 1 $165,000 in second mortgages for the final 11 homes in Tinnin Woods. The funds will be used as second mortgages for Habitat homebuyers, and will have a long-term positive impact on the lives of the eleven families.. Owning a home has 74 been shown in recent studies to be a predictor of future success, especially for children. Children who live in homes like those that Habitat offers will have a greater chance of graduating from high school, and acquiring post-secondary education.. Their early adult earnings will be higher, and they are more likely to own their own home in 10 years.Those who apply to build and purchase a home through Habitat live in overcrowded apartments, pay considerably more than 30%of their income for rent,and/or deal with high utility costs and lack of repairs.. This in spite of the fact that they are hardworking members of our community,often working more than one full time job trying to make ends meet. For those homeowners fortunate enough to purchase a home through Habitat,they usually find themselves paying less for their mortgage than they did for their rent,and are able to save considerable money on utilities as well, leaving them more money to spend on other basic necessities and on education for themselves and their children. 2. We will also be requesting approximately$120,000 in HOME funds for engineering,design,and some of the infrastructure costs for a new project in the Waterstone community in Hillsborough. We are in the process of planning for 18 new attached homes for seniors on land originally deeded to the Community Home Trust by the developer of Waterstone. The Home Trust will transfer the property to Habitat in the next few weeks. Affordable senior housing has been identified in the Consolidated Plan as one of the priority needs for the county, with an estimated 450 units of affordable senior housing needed. Habitat is excited to help address this need. We will be working with the Orange County Department on Aging and other senior housing experts to design the project. Infrastructure construction will begin in 2017 and the homes will be constructed in 2018. Thank you for your consideration of our request, and for your support for affordable housing in Orange County.

He said a family of four would be at 80% median incoming earning$53,900; 50% median income earning$33,700; and 30% median income earning $20,200.
