PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing to receive citizen comments regarding a change in the
dwelling units targeted for repair under the County's FY 2004 Scattered Site Housing
Rehabilitation Program.
BACKGROUND: Orange County submitted a formal application to the N.C. Department of
Commerce for $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for a Scattered Site
Housing Rehabilitation Program. The grant was officially awarded in May 2004.
Funds from this grant will be used to repair approximately 15 substandard houses occupied by
low-income families in the Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough as well as unincorporated areas
of Orange County. See the attached program summary for more information. In October 2003,
the targeted units were identified by address, however, since that time, circumstances such as
death, ownership changes, and eligibility issues have required staff to make substitutions
among the targeted dwelling units. These changes have been reviewed with our partners in the
Towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough and they are in agreement with the proposed changes.
The attached document provides detailed information regarding the proposed program
revisions.
In order to proceed with the housing rehabilitation program, the Department of Commerce
requires the County to conduct a public hearing regarding the proposed changes. All
comments received will be incorporated into the official program record for this program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This grant represents an available $400,000 for housing rehabilitation
activities in the County.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive comments as
information and authorize the staff to proceed with grant implementation.
