PURPOSE: --
To receive citizen comments prior to official close-out of the County's Efland Estates Housing
Development Program and authorize execution of the Certificate of Completion by the Chair of the Boazd
of Commissioners.
BACKGROUND:
In late 1996, the County received $148,780 in State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds under the Housing Development category. These funds were used to assist Habitat for Humanity of
Orange County, NC, Inc. with the infrastructure necessary to facilitate the construction of five (S) homes
in the Efland Estates subdivision. Under a subsequent grant agreement, HHOC agreed to build and sell
five (S) homes to first-time homebuyers.
All planned CDBG activities have been completed and the following five (S) homes were built and sold
to low income families.
1. 40~;~ain~ Drive, Efland; Family of two (2); Annual Income: $16,250
2. 40~~'ain Drive, Efland; Family of three (3); Annual Income: $13,400
3. 413 Baia Drive, Efland; Family of two (2); Annual Income: $27,236
4. 417 Cain Drive, Efland; Family of six (b); Annual Income: $31,3b8
S. 425 Cain Drive, Efland; Family of four (4); Annual Income: $22,8$0
Of the total grant of $148,780, approximately $137, 011 was expended for grant activities leaving a
balance of $8,739. After consultation with state officials and HHOC staff, County staffhas determined
that no additional CDBG eligible activities can be identified for the expenditure of the remaining grant
balance. Thus, we will be de-obligating or returning $8,739 to the State CDBG Office. It is imperative
that we close this grant now in order to be eligible for future CDBG grants.. __ _
In order to complete the grant close-out process, the N.C. Department of Commerce requires that a public
hearing be held prior to the official closeout of the Housing Development Program to assess the
performance of the County in administering the grant program. In addition, the County is required to
execute a Certificate of Completion form that is included with this abstract.
All comments received during the hearing should be reviewed to determine the level of consistency with
program goals.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
NONE
RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Manager recommends authorizing execution of the Certificate of Completion by the Chair on behalf
of the Board of Commissioners.
