Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards: No past advisory board involvement Boards/Commissions applied for: Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I worked for 35 years in Wisconsin as a Cooperative Extension Economic Development Specialist. Out of that experience evolved a deep interest in housing trends and housing markets. My degree certification (Ph.D.) is in demography, and for many years I served as a consultant to the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Academy of Sciences on related population and housing matters. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: General desire to put my experience to work where I live. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: My principal interest is to assist the AHAB in the area of alternative affordable home ownership models that, in general, are not well developed in North Carolina or here in metropolitan Orange County. These alternative approaches include, but are not limited to, housing cooperatives and community land trusts. Conflict of Interest: It could be perceived that my interest is partly self-serving and meant to ease the pathway to establishing a limited-equity housing cooperative for our forming intentional community. But that is not my purpose, as we are well along the path to success in this regard already.

I have served on this board for 2-years and have enjoyed being a part of the process. I also have several years of architectural background in civic/justice projects at the state and local level. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: As a resident of Hillsborough and Orange County for over 5-years, it is important to me to understand how I can help the community understand the process. The planning process can be confusing (even to me), so hearing everyone s thoughts and opinions are very helpful. I understand people s trepidation and concern about changes in this community. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: Conflict of Interest: 18 Page 2 of 2 Jeff Scott Affordable Housing Advisory Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: As an architect, affordable housing is always a critical topic of concern. I practiced in residential architecture at the beginning of my career. I have also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Charlotte, Asheville, and Raleigh/Durham. My previous experience working with general contractors and construction managers also allows me to understand the ramifications of costing, constructability, and project management. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: Affordable housing is a very important and apt topic locally and nationally. As an active professional in this region, I continue to see how this area is being shaped for both the positive and negative. Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: I believe that the diversity I could bring to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board could certainly be an asset for Orange County. Having lived in other communities in this state (Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham), as well as having spent time studying abroad in Italy and Germany, I have seen a variety of strategies that address housing. In many instances this housing has been shaped by how the urban or rural fabric is shaped. Orange County has the opportunity to really be a leader in driving affordable housing strategies forward as the county grapples with issues of growth and long-term planning strategies. I have seen this while working on single- family and multi-family residential projects and how the divide between building types is critical. Having seen how other communities grapple with affordable housing is also very important to me. Affordable housing is always a very difficult and contentious topic. I have previously been a part of a design/build architectural studio that focused solely on designing and building a home for a low-income family. I have seen how carefully and thoughtfully the process can be executed. Much of the process comes down to creating an architecture of decency for the people that inhabit these homes.

I have worked with Carrboro and Chapel Hill to provide affordable housing according to their ordinances. These experiences have taught me successful financing techniques, the costs of creating housing and the need to find alternate solutions. I believe I can add valuable insight to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board. Conflict of Interest: I am mostly retired from development, but were I to create another Orange County subdivision I don t see how that would be a conflict.

Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I have learned that Chapel Hill is similar to Alexandria, VA in the pressing importance of and need to provide affordable housing for low-income city residents. My experience as an EOC commissioner taught me about the complexity, challenges, and critical importance of affordable housing to a city s vitality. Chapel Hill is my home now and I want to contribute to the success of Chapel Hill s Affordable Housing Advisory Board.
