Item No. 6-b
SUBJECT: Discussion of Funding Request from Hope NC to Alliance Health to Support
Acquisition of Units at Weaver's Grove for Supportive Housing for Adults with
Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities at 30% AMI or Below
DEPARTMENT: County Manager

Proposed Memorandum of Agreement
between Orange County and Alliance
Health
Presentation
PURPOSE: To receive information and consider approving and authorizing the Manager to sign
a Memorandum of Agreement with Alliance Health to allocate $100,000 in funds earmarked for
Orange County and held by Alliance Health to support the acquisition of four (4) townhomes at
Weaver's Grove for Hope NC's affordable, supportive housing program for adults with
Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (I/DD).
BACKGROUND: In April 2026, Alliance Health contacted Orange County regarding a request
Alliance received from Laura Wells, Executive Director of Housing Options for People with
Exceptional ities, Inc. (Hope NC). The request from Hope NC proposed $100,000 in financial
assistance to support the final funding needed for the Phase 1 purchase in May 2026 of four (4)
recently built townhomes at the Weaver's Grove development in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Significant funding support for Phase 1 has already been provided to Hope NC from the North
Carolina Housing Finance Agency ($569,000), a loan from the Town of Chapel Hill ($185,000)
and from Hope NC's capital campaign and cash reserves ($106,000).
Hope NC's mission is to create and expand safe, affordable and supportive housing options for
people with I/DD. The four (4) Weaver's Grove units will be leased to eight (8) adults with I/DD at
or below thirty percent (30%) of area median income (AMI) for Orange County that have
supportive housing service needs. The residents will be supported by onsite Community
Facilitators who will ensure their connection to critical supports in the neighborhood and the wider
community. The majority of residents would be Alliance Health members and Hope NC will strive
to ensure a minimum of 50% of the residents are from Orange County. Hope NC currently
operates two (2) successful affordable housing programs for I/DD residents in Wake and Durham
counties. This new program at Weaver's Grove will be the only available supportive affordable
housing program of its kind in Orange County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no direct financial impacts at this time, but if approved, this
allocation will reduce remaining funds that Alliance Health received from Cardinal Innovations
2
during the LME/MCO transition that have been earmarked for Orange County priorities. Currently,
the balance of these funds is approximately $1.2 million.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
• GOAL 2: HEALTHY COMMUNITY
OBJECTIVE 3. Provide social safety net programming and the resources needed for our
most vulnerable community members.
• GOAL 3: HOUSING FOR ALL
OBJECTIVE 2. Address need and any policy barriers to increase access to emergency
shelter beds and other low-barrier housing, including eviction diversion.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1) authorize the Manager to request the allocation of$100,000 from Alliance Health to support
the purchase of the four (4) Phase 1 units at Weaver's Grove for affordable, supportive
I/DD housing; and
2) Approve and authorize the Manager to sign a Memorandum of Agreement with Alliance
Health memorializing the understanding that Alliance Health will contract with Hope NC to
provide these funds and will ensure the restrictions on affordability and eligibility are
maintained for the existing 30-year Period of Affordability.

SUMMARY
We ask that Alliance Health join the NC Housing Finance Agency, the Town of Chapel Hill, and
HOPE NC to acquire housing for adults with I/DD. This development project is innovative and
creates a replicable model for housing the I/DD population.
HOPE NC will acquire 11 newly constructed units within Habitat Orange's Weaver Grove
development in two phases: 4 units to close in April 2026, 7 units in early 2028. These units will be
rented to adults with Intellectual/Development Disabilities at or below 30% AMI and HOPE NC's
program will support their daily needs and integration into the larger 238-unit mixed income
development. For the Phase 1 acquisition of 4 duplexes, the total project cost is approximately
$960,000. HOPE NC has been awarded state funds through NCHFA's Supportive Housing
Development Program (SHDP) to fund 60% or$569,000 of Phase 1. We have also been awarded
$185,000 from the Town of Chapel Hill. HOPE NC will contribute approximately $106,000, through a
combination of a capital campaign and its cash reserves. We are seeking funding for the
remainder of the acquisition cost, or $100,000.
ORGANIZATION AND PROJECT DETAILS
Founded in 2018 by three dedicated families who have adult children with intellectual and
developmental disabilities (I/DD), HOPE NC is responding to a pressing challenge faced by many
families: the concern over where their adult children with I/DD will live once their aging caregivers can
no longer provide care. These families also share the desire for their loved ones to have the choice to
live in their own homes with access to necessary support and services. HOPE NC's mission is to
create and expand safe, affordable and supportive housing options for people with I/DD.
Research confirms the importance of social connections leading to the creation of meaningful
relationships, to help counteract poor physical and mental health conditions that are often a result of
social isolation and loneliness. At both the national and state level, inclusive housing needs are
increasingly acute as the I/DD population continues to grow and medical advancements deliver
increased life expectancy for all populations. Housing that offers the support to enable adults with I/DD
to live independently is in short supply. There are approximately 200,000 people with IDD' in NC and

75% of those live with family members, and most often, one's parents2. As these parents age, there is
an increased need for housing options.
The Weavers Grove community marks HOPE NC's first direct acquisition of units dedicated to adults
with I/DD. This development builds on our proven success implementing our model at two affordable
housing communities with partners in Durham and Raleigh.
Over the past several years, rather than directly owning and operating units at these communities,
HOPE NC focused on forging strong partnerships with the property owners and sustaining funds to
support the onsite Community Facilitators, a key element to our "inclusive communities" model.
Community Facilitators are onsite to support residents with disabilities and to facilitate connections to
the natural supports of their immediate neighbors as well as to resources in the wider community.
The adults with I/DD also receive supportive services through Alliance Health to address
independent living skills needs and for employment and vocational support. The Community
Facilitator will act as the liaison between the individual resident and the many different people
needed to sustain tenancy and services, including the property manager, the Alliance case manager,
the individual's parents or family members, and the Orange County Housing Department (which will
provide project-based vouchers for the first phase and probably the second phase as well). HOPE
NC is currently using the Community Facilitator model at two pilot locations serving 38 individuals
with I/DD at communities in Raleigh and Durham. To date, the pilots have been very successful,
allowing individuals with I/DD to safely and confidently live on their own. In many cases, these same
individuals would not be able to do so without the support and success derived from our model, and
the various services that our Community Facilitators provide.
The two current inclusive housing communities supported by HOPE NC are:
• North Street Community (Durham, NC) —This is an integrative, intentional community of people
with and without disabilities, designed to promote independent living and social integration. The
site has 120 residents living in 18 different privately owned duplexes and triplexes, and 30
apartments are rented to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Since January
2024 HOPE NC has employed an onsite Community Facilitator at North Street who is providing
the residents support with their everyday needs (such as managing their schedules), resource
connections and social engagement opportunities for the residents.
• Grosvenor Gardens (Raleigh, NC) —This is a historic apartment complex in downtown Raleigh,
where CASA NC (affordable housing developer), Alliance Health, and HOPE NC are working to
support individuals with I/DD to live independently. CASA NC owns the building with 58
apartments and is renting out 10 of the apartments to adults with I/DD. This project began in
June 2024 and HOPE NC is currently providing 8 residents with I/DD community integration
opportunities, resource referrals and tenancy support.
In 2024, HOPE NC-received a grant from the Triangle Community Foundation_to support hiring an
evaluation consultant to create a developmental evaluation of our Community to
role as we
implemented it in January 2024 at the North Street community. Both qualitative and quantitative data
were compiled from surveys and interviews of the North Street residents at the beginning of the year
and then also again in January 2025. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in positive

social connections, well-being and community connectedness for the residents with and without
intellectual disabilities because of the community facilitator role. We are now utilizing this evaluation
protocol in our community in Raleigh and will also use it in the community we are developing at
Weavers Grove.
HOPE NC will engage a locally based property manager with strong experience managing properties
similar to HOPE NC at Weavers Grove, both in size and population. EMPOWERment Inc. has 25+
years of experience operating supportive and affordable housing for low-income residents in the
Triangle area, with a proven record in maintaining compliance and tenant satisfaction. In addition,
HOPE NC has engaged a Housing Development Consultant who has 20+ years of experience
working to finance affordable housing projects.
HOPE NC will purchase eleven units of housing built by Habitat Orange in their Weavers Grove
community, located in Chapel Hill. All eleven units will be rented to individuals with I/DD with income
levels below 30%, to enable them to live independently. We expect that 80% of these residents will
be consumers of Alliance Health. Weavers Grove is an ideal site for residents with I/DD because it
offers a mixed income community with single family homes, condominiums, townhomes and
duplexes all on one site, which increases the diversity and opportunities for inclusion for adults with
disabilities and the social interaction of people of all ages and abilities. In the center of the complex
there will be a community space that will provide a place for intergenerational programs and a coffee
kiosk that will employ adults with I/DD. There is a playground for families on site and other outdoor
places to gather. A bus stop less than 0.5 miles away provides convenient access to public
transportation, creating opportunities for HOPE NC residents to be further connected to additional
employment, education, health, and recreational opportunities.
This project will be delivered in two phases over two years. Construction completion is expected as
follows:
• Phase 1: 4 2-bedroom units in March 2026
• Phase 2: 2 2-bedroom units and 5 1-bedroom units in early 2028
We are currently finalizing the funding to support the purchase of the first 4 units of Phase 1. The
HOPE NC homes for Phase 1 are close to construction completion, and we anticipate the certificates
of occupancy in March or April 2026.
The Weavers Grove project will further HOPE NC's mission by:
• Pioneering a replicable model where supportive service providers partner with housing
developers to acquire units of new construction within a larger complex.
• Facilitates the integration of adults with I/DD within a larger housing community
• Enables HOPE NC to focus on the delivery of supportive services, while their partner
oversees the complex construction process
• Addressing an acute need for housing for adults with I/DD by providing a model that can be
replicated statewide
• Enabling HOPE NC to own the units directly, allowing for more control and effectiveness of
the service coordination
6
• Housing adults with I/DD at income levels of 30% AMI and below and therefore increasing
the housing stock for individuals with I/DD, which is a population that experiences significant
deficiencies when it comes to affordable housing units. The majority of individuals with I/DD
have SSI as their main income source which is currently around 20% of AMI.
FUNDING REQUEST
Of the total acquisition cost of approximately $960,000 for the Phase 1 duplexes, this project has
been awarded $569,000 from the NCHFA Supportive Housing Development Loan Program. The
Town of Chapel Hill has committed a forgivable loan in the amount of$185,000. HOPE NC will
provide $106,000 of the project funding. We have a capital campaign underway in the form of
unsecured loans at below-market interest rates. So far, donors have committed $90,000; any
remaining balance will be funded through HOPE NC's cash reserves, as committed in a recent board
resolution. With $860,000 of funding secured, we are seeking funding for the remaining $100,000
for the closing in May 2026.
Alliance Health has been a fantastic and generous partner in HOPE NC's Grosvenor Garden project,
and we would welcome the opportunity to expand our relationship to Weavers Grove. Each 2-
bedroom unit will be leased to two adults with I/DD. With Alliance's support of$100,000, or$50,000
per unit, we would set aside 2 units serving 4 Alliance consumers with I/DD. We welcome the
ongoing participation of Alliance Health in HOPE NC's mission to expand affordable, inclusive
housing options for adults with I/DD in the state of North Carolina.
