PURPOSE: To receive citizen comments prior to official close-out of the County's FY 2001
Individual Development Account (IDA) Program and authorize execution of the Certificate of
Completion by the Ghair of the Board of Commissioners.
BACKGROUND: In 2001, the County received $40,000 in State Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds for an IDA Program for first-time homebuyers with incomes below
80% of the area median income. Funds from this grant were used to match first-time
homebuyer participant's savings for a downpayment to purchase their first home, The match
ratio is 2:1. For example, if a participant saved $1,000 toward the down payment on a home,
their savings are matched with $1,000 in CDBG fianding and $1,000 in local funding equating to
a 2:1 match of local savings, Approximately 11 families fully participated in this program and
purchased their first home.
The grant pericd officially ended on January 31, 2005, and a summary of the program
beneficiaries is attached tc this abstract, It should be noted that the original application
proposed serving approximately 20 families. A total of 31 families contacted The Women's
Center, program administrator of the IDA Program, with 21 approved to participate in the
program. Of those 21 families, approximately 10 families were unable to continue participation
due to their inability to maintain the required savings commitment. Thus, the total number of
families that actually purchased homes was eleven, Therefore, approximately $33,000 of the
$40,000 grant has been expended during the grant period. The remaining $7,000 will be de-
obligated and retained by the Division of Community Assistance (DCA) for use in future
program years, DCA staff has indicated that these funds would be available for a new funding
grant for Orange County in 2005.
In order to complete the grant closeout process, the N.C, Department of Commerce requires
that a public hearing be held prior to the official closeout of the IDA 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 included with this abstract.
Ail comments received during the hearing should be reviewed to determine the level of
consistency with program goals,
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board conduct the public
hearing and authorize execution of the Certificate of Completion by the Chair on behalf of the
Board of Commissioners,
