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 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 (PI)for the HOME Consortium The primary purpose of the HOME Program is to increase the supply of affordable housing Participating jurisdictions have the opportunity to identify and choose the housing activities that best meet local housing needs. To ensure HOME assisted housing increases the supply of affordable housing, an affordability period on assisted properties and income limits are required for eligible households 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 Five Year Consolidated Plan is from funds beginning with Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2015 which began on October 1,2014 and which will end on September 30,2015.Therefore,the Five Year Consolidated Plan is FFY 2015-2019. However it is for the Five Year Program Year of 2016 to 2020 Orange County is also the lead entity in the preparation and submission of the Five Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plans for each of the five years, a federal HOME and CDBG OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp. 07/31/2015) 1 4 FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan Orange County HOME Consortium, NC requirement to receive funding under the Programs,To focus the approach to affordable housing a Consolidated Plan is required by HUD. The Consolidated Plan for the first time will be an electronic submission in a prescribed template required by HUD..The Consolidated Plan describes community needs identified, available resources, housing priorities, and proposed activities. In the Consolidated Plan, the Consortium must address the housing needs and goals for the entire geographic area it covers The Consortium allows local jurisdictions to take a regional and collaborative approach to addressing critical affordable housing needs. Since the Town of Chapel Hill is a member of the Orange County HOME Consortium, HUD has determined that the County is permitted to submit one Regional Consolidated Plan that details the needs of the entire County, including Chapel Hill As a CDBG entitlement recipient,the Town of Chapel Hill will submit a separate Annual Action Plan as required by HUD for the town's CDBG Funds. The Orange County HOME Consortium has prepared this FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan for the period of July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2020 This Consolidated Plan is a strategic plan for the implementation of the Orange County HOME Consortium's federally funded program for affordable housing within Orange County,the Town of Carrboro,the Town of Chapel Hill, and the Town of Hillsborough and for housing, community development, and economic development for the Town of Chapel Hill The Five Year Consolidated Plan establishes the Consortium's goals forthe next five(5)year period and outlines the specific initiatives the Consortium and its member jurisdictions will undertake to address their needs and objectives by promoting the rehabilitation and construction of decent, safe,sanitary,and affordable housing,creating a suitable living environment, removing slums and blighting conditions, affirmatively furthering fair housing, improving public services, expanding economic opportunities, and other activities principally benefitting low- and moderate-income persons This Five Year Consolidated Plan is a collaborative effort of the Consortium members, the community at large, social service agencies, County and Town officials, housing providers, community development agencies,and economic development groups.The planning process was accomplished through a series of public meetings, stakeholder interviews, resident surveys, statistical data,and review of previous community development plans 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. 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 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 2 5 FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan Orange County HOME Consortium, NC 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, The Orange County HOME Consortium is receiving$311,832 from HOME funds for the FFY 2015 program year This is a reduction from $351,540 in FFY 2014 and a substantial reduction from $728,277 in FFY 2010,the start of the previous five year planning period. 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 our older adult population portrays. Orange County needs to conceptualize a continuum of housing types to accommodate rapid growth in its senior population and then, invest in development of preferred housing models The condition of the owner occupied housing stack 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 to address 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 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 or 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. OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 3 6 FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan Orange County HOME Consortium, NC Housing values (both rental and real estate values) have increased with the increase 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 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-law 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 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 OMB Control No:2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) 4 7 FFY 2015-2019 Five Year Consolidated Plan Orange County HOME Consortium, NC 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. This suggests that as younger members of the workforce leave school and enter the workforce, they are struggling to find employment According to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey data, there are job deficiencies (the number of qualified worker's 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 • 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.
