BACKGROUND: On August 25, 2020, Governor Roy Cooper announced the availability of $28 million from federal Community Development Block Grant — Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funding to be disbursed to support rental and utility payments and prevent evictions for those with a demonstrated need. The funding will be distributed to eligible community agencies around the state that will work directly with North Carolinians on an application and disbursement process. Orange County applied for and was awarded CDBG-CV funds to be used with the County's existing Emergency Housing Assistance (EHA) program, which prevents eviction and homelessness by providing financial assistance to help Orange County residents with low incomes secure and maintain stable housing. EHA assistance is available to households in Orange County that earn no more than 30% of the area median income, have an urgent need for housing assistance, and lack resources to cover the cost of their housing need. The County received approval to begin expending CDBG-CV funds on March 17, 2021. As part of the CDBG-CV grant compliance requirements, Orange County staff must provide quarterly written status reports to the Board of Commissioners on the use of CDBG-CV funds. Each quarterly report must be signed by the Chair and submitted to the NC Department of Commerce. The fourth quarterly report for the grant, covering the fourth quarter of calendar year 2021, covers funds disbursed from October 1 through December 31, 2021 (Attachment 1). Orange 2 County must also submit an Annual Performance Report that covers CDBG-CV activities for the whole calendar year 2021 (Attachment 2). FINANCIAL IMPACT: Review and submission of the quarterly report is required in order to maintain Orange County's $900,000 CDBG-CV grant. 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: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
