Affordable Housing Advisory Board: Submitted Economic Development Advisory Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT): Submitted Interests & Experiences Relevant Experience Board #1 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY BOARD I was appointed by President Obama from 2012-2016 to work as an Economic Policy Advisor for his Administration. I spent over a year in the U.S. Small Business Administration where I worked on an interagency taskforce with federal agencies, including U.S. Housing and Urban Development to help create communities that support strong, vibrant small businesses while also increasing access to affordable housing. As an Economic Policy Advisor, part of my job was helping to ensure the federal grant money, including for affordable housing,went to communities as quickly as possible. I also worked with different teams to help reduce and remove discrimination in housing by helping to clarify policy around equal and fair access. Hasan AAbdullah 12 Reasons Want to Serve Board #1 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY BOARD As a first-time homeowner in Carrboro, and a native who was born and raised in the Chapel Hill - Carrboro area, I am keenly aware of how rising home prices are making it near impossible to secure housing in parts of Orange County. With covid and remote work, more and more people are moving to Orange County from across the country, thereby resulting in higher home prices and resulting in more gentrification. From my personal experience, I understand the need to protect our housing community and increase the availability of affordable and fair housing in our county. Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY BOARD My parents were born and raised in Karachi Pakistan. They got married in the late 70's, and hoping for a better life for their future children/family, they immigrated to Ireland to pursue education. After achieving education in the science field, in the early 80's, my parents applied to 300 universities across America hoping for just minimum wage research positions. 299 universities said no, only 1 said yes, and that was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was born in Chapel Hill in 1986, and along with my two sisters, my parents raised us in Chapel Hill/ Carrboro going not just paycheck to paycheck, but one credit debt to another credit card debt. My parents had no idea how to secure affordable housing or how to find security knowing that they wouldn't be out on the streets if they missed 1 more rent payment. While we survived, I know many families who had situations that didn't turn out so well. I hope to bring the experience I had growing up,witnessing my parents struggle as immigrants, to this board to support long-term affordable and public housing programs. Conflict of Interest Board #1 AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVISORY BOARD I do not have any conflicts of interest related to serving on this board. Hasan AAbdullah 13 Relevant Experience Board #2 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD In 2012, 1 was appointed by President Obama to serve in his Administration as an Economic Policy Advisor. From 2012-2016, 1 worked on President Obama's economic agenda at federal agencies such as the U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Export-Import Bank, and The White House National Economic Council. While in the U.S. Small Business Administration, I started a program, Boots to Business, which helped transitioning military veterans start their own company. I worked to create an entire 12-week entrepreneurship course that taught thousands of military veterans how to take an idea to securing funding and generating revenue. The program still exists today and is used by the Department of Veteran Affairs to teach military members entrepreneurship. Also, while working in the U.S. Small Business Administration, I helped increase access to small business loans and grants. Furthermore, during my 4 years in the Obama Administration, I spent time working at the U.S. Export Import Bank helping expand small business access to working capital loans so they could sell their products into global markets. From 2014-2015, 1 worked in the White House National Economic Council where I launched a new federal government office, SelectUSA, which helped international companies create factories and open locations in the United States thereby creating U.S.jobs. I helped companies like Lufthansa open a facility in Puerto Rico, Hankook Tire open a factory in South Carolina, and increased Walmart's supply chain in the United States. From my help starting SelectUSA, the office has created 50,000 U.S.jobs from businesses choosing to open offices and factories throughout the United States. I have also had a career as an entrepreneur, starting two companies, one in Orange County. In 2009, 1 started a bike-sharing company, WeCycles, in Chapel Hill, where I worked with the town to get the right permitting and access to resources. Starting WeCycles was not easy and was my motivation to get into the Obama Administration since I felt we can do much better to support local startups have access to resources and capital. To support my professional experiences, I have a wide-range of masters degrees that I think can help provide a unique perspective to the board. I received my undergrad degree in Economics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a masters in public policy, a masters of business administration, and a masters in computer science. Reasons Want to Serve Board #2 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD Orange County is ripe with opportunities to attract business, including tech startups. As the world has changed, more and more opportunities that were once global or far reaching are now possible here. High-growth companies are choosing North Carolina for our labor force, high education institutions, and local government resources. North Carolina is becoming a prime location for business with companies like transportation startup Boom opening a large job-creating facility in the triad and mature companies like Toyota choosing to open a battery plant in Greensboro. I want to help encourage companies to come and stay in Orange County so that we can create long-term jobs in our backyard. For example, we have a fast-rising Al startup, Well.co, based right here in Chapel Hill which plans on hiring hundreds of employees, many in Orange County over the next four years. I think we can attract more tech and high growth companies given the resources and highly-educated workforce in Orange County. But to me, it is also more than high-growth companies. Given the labor shortage, restaurants and small businesses are having trouble finding workers. Added to all this is inflation, making prices higher, supplies harder to find, and revenue for small businesses decreasing day by day. As a son of immigrants who struggled making ends meet in Chapel Hill, I know first-hand what it means to strive day in day and out to put food on the table for one's family. My parents were born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan. In the early 80's, my parents applied to 300 universities across America hoping for just minimum wage research positions. 299 universities said no, only 1 said yes, and that was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was born in Chapel Hill in 1986, and along with my two sisters, my parents raised us in Chapel Hill/Carrboro going not just paycheck to paycheck, but one credit debt to another credit card debt. Hasan AAbdullah 14 Diversity of Viewpoints Board #2 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD I bring the perspective first of an entrepreneur as I started my first tech company in Chapel Hill. I believe that economic opportunities can solve some of the largest problems we face. I first sought to tackle a global problem on a local scale: climate change. In 2009, fresh out of undergrad at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, I started my first company, Wecycles, based in Orange County. WeCycles was a company that would provide bike-sharing transit through a network of automated kiosks, reducing CO2 emissions by replacing cars for short-distance travel. I started in Chapel Hill, and was the second mover in the entire United States for a bike-sharing business. While the company did not succeed due to the Recession, through WeCycles, I learned the basics of running an organization, inspiring team members, building a local workforce, and engaging constituents. I vigorously lobbied the Chapel Hill Mayor and Town Council to invest in the project, and improve public biking infrastructure. However, the town of Chapel Hill was unwilling to support bike- sharing due to the project being well ahead of its time. As a 21 year-old in 2008, 1 realized right then and there that local government representatives hold considerable power and influence over economic growth in my town of Chapel Hill and towns and cities across America. The experience of starting my first company in 2009 in Chapel Hill sent me to public service so I could help improve economic opportunities for others. I started at the national scale as an Economic Policy Advisor for the Obama Administration in the White House. I am eager to bring my experience, as an entrepreneur and a national policy wonk to Orange County's Economic Development Advisory Board.

Q Chapel Hill Property Zone County Community Involvement I am involved with Habitat for Humanity in Orange County and surrounding Counties. I volunteer with Table in Carrboro, NC. I also consult with local nonprofits to assist with grant writing as well as the implementation and management of Federal grants. Which Boards would you like to apply for? Affordable Housing Advisory Board: Submitted Interests & Experiences Relevant Experience Board #1 In 2005, 1 moved from New York City to North Carolina to work with a nonprofit involved in prison reform. I was quickly drawn to the communities of Hillsborough, Chapel Hill and Carrboro and I moved to Carrboro in 2006. Since then, I've remained in Orange County. In 2012, while working as the Program Director and Finance Manager of Communities in Schools of Orange County, I wrote and received a 1.3 million dollar Federal grant to fund drop-out prevention programs at 7 Orange County middle schools, 2 elementary schools, and 1 high school. Additionally, since 2009, 1 have been involved in property management, development, and investment. I also have a strong knowledge of local real estate markets, market trends, property valuations, the County's GIS site, the UDO, and other resources, based on my experience buying, selling, and developing property. Lastly, I have served on the Board of Equalization and Review for three years, hearing all tax appeals in Orange County. Mr. Hunter Beattie 18 Reasons Want to Serve Board #1 Like many members of our community, I've witnessed the damaging effects of the rapid increase and acceleration in housing costs. Friends and family have been displaced from their communities. Housing continues to be treated as an investment, a store of value, and a marketable asset rather than a place where people live, commute to work, raise their family, and participate in their community. Additionally, rising property taxes have contributed to the displacement of many members of our community, which is one of the reasons I joined the Board of Equalization and Review three years ago. I believe that there are strategies that can address many types of displacement, as well as ones that disincentivize predatory investors by strengthening community relationships. I also believe that the community must work together and pressure local government to invest in affordable housing. Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 While I have been involved in real estate investment, my endeavors have not been predatory like many of the transactions I see in the market. I have purchased homes for fair market value, restored them to a habitable condition, added them to the local rental stock, and then sold them, typically to first time home- buyers a few years later. However, I have seen the many ways that other investors, both local and institutional, profit from people who cannot afford to realize the value in their own home. I believe that my knowledge of the UDO and my experience investing in local real estate, help me consider the viewpoints of members of the community who benefit from a rise in housing costs, and who also wield disproportionate political influence. And, I believe that my personal political orientation informs my desire to create affordable housing solutions in our community. Conflict of Interest Board #1 I am not seeking local funding to develop affordable housing in this area; nor have I encountered any other conflicts of interest in my position on the Board of Equalization and Review.

Q Chapel Hill Property Zone Carrboro Town Limits Community Involvement RE-IMAGINING COMMUNITY TASK FORCE with Town of Chapel Hill Which Boards would you like to apply for? Affordable Housing Advisory Board: Submitted Interests & Experiences Relevant Experience Board #1 In October 2020, 1 was appointed to the Re-imagining Community Task Force for the Town of Chapel Hill. The mission of the Task Force is to bring forth concrete, actionable recommendations to the Town Council that will achieve the following: 1) Increase public safety 2) Eliminate structural inequities in Town public safety systems; and 3) Enable all in the community to thrive. We the Task Force met over the course of nine months to accomplish the task force mission. I serve on the steering committee to support other members of the task forces. We collaborated with outside facilitators to move the task force in the right direction. I attended weekly meetings as a Steering Committee member to create an agenda. I also collaborated with 13+task force members on recommendation. My experience as a refugee, a student in Orange County, and someone who is involved with the Town of Chapel Hill on policy change makes me the ideal candidate for the position. Ehmu Ra Ho 23 Reasons Want to Serve Board #1 Growing up in Chapel Hill as a refugee is hard. I watch my parents struggle to find resources so that life won't be so difficult in Chapel Hill. It is not easy for them to find these resources. For example, there is no interpreter when they have to go to a housing meeting or need to fill out a government document. Language is a barrier for them, and I feel that there is a need for the town to provide interpreters, as well as other resources, for the members of our community who struggle to get the help they need. After watching my parents struggle, I began to work with a nonprofit organization called Refugee Community Partnership (RCP). RCP's main goal is to reach out to refugee families from many backgrounds (Burmese, Karen, Syrian and Congolese) and provide support and resources. Working directly with these families has helped me see that many people share my parents' experience at town, county, and school offices. As a member of the Housing Advisory Board, I would hope to help orange county to identify the barriers to information these families face, and then to help implement programs to improve their access. Diversity of Viewpoints Board #1 I joined the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community in 2009 when my family and I came to the U.S. as refugees from Burma. I am currently in the process of getting a Master degree in Social Work at UNC, and I feel that as a minority student and a refugee from a non-English speaking community, I will bring new insight and unique perspectives to the Affordable Housing Advisory Board Conflict of Interest Board #1 There are no conflict of Interest Relevant Experience Board #2 Reasons Want to Serve Board #2 Diversity of Viewpoints Board #2 Conflict of Interest Board #2 Reasons Want to Serve Board #3 Relevant Experience Board #3 Diversity of Viewpoints Board #3 Ehmu Ra Ho 24 Conflict of Interest Board #3 Past Service Demographics We ask your help in assuring diversity of membership by answering the following questions: Age Range fJ 18-34 OC Ethnicity rJ Asian American OC Gender Identity rJ Female Ethics Guidelines Ethics Guidelines for Orange County Advisory Boards and Commissions I agree by my signature below that, if appointed, I pledge to comply with the following ethics guidelines for advisory boards and commissions as adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners. • Conflict of Interest 1.

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: 30 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.
