PURPOSE: To conduct a public hearing on the Consolidated Annual Performance Report
(CAPER) for the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program.
BACKGROUND: Each year, Orange County reports on activities undertaken with funds from the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the HOME Program. This annual
report, called the Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER), documents the progress
towards implementing the priorities and activities identified in the Annual Action Plan. During the
2019 CAPER period (July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020), the County disbursed approximately
$375,000 in HOME funds and an additional $98,000 in local matching funds (contributed by the
Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough, as well as the County) for eligible housing
activities. These activities included acquisition of rental properties to be preserved for low-income
renters, provision of down payment assistance for low-income homebuyers, rehabilitation of
affordable rental units, and provision of tenant-based rental assistance.
Orange County must hold a public hearing to obtain public comments and feedback on the
Consolidated Annual Performance Report (CAPER) during the public comment period from March
16 through March 31 , 2021. The CAPER is available electronically at:
