PURPOSE: To review updated data about homelessness in Orange County submitted to the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) earlier this year.
BACKGROUND: The Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness ( OCPEH) was created
in 2008 to coordinate funding and activities to end homelessness in Orange County. OCPEH is
jointly funded by Orange County (39 %) and the Towns of Carrboro (15 %), Chapel Hill (41%),
and Hillsborough (5 %).
Homelessness in Orange County is up 13 %. OCPEH Coordinator Corey Root will present the
updated data and discuss how current increases relate to identified gaps in the homeless
service system, including rapid re- housing and street outreach programs. The Coordinator will
also discuss how another identified gap, an accessible and housing- focused homeless shelter,
would be filled if changes to the Good Neighbor Plan are adopted by the Town of Chapel Hill
this Fall.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with receiving the report.
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: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY
The reduction of risks from vehicle /traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang
activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the report as
information and provide any comments or questions.
