BACKGROUND: In 1995, a Consalidated Plan for Housing and Community Development Programs in Orange County was developed and approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This document details the housing needs of very low income, low income and moderate income families and special population groups in addition to outlining the strategies and plans for addressing those needs. The Consolidated Plan is required for all communities receiving HOME funds and CDBG entitlement funds (Chapel Hill) and was developed in 1995 by County and Town staff. The Consolidated Plan is required for all communities receiving HOME funds and CDBG entitlement funds (Chapel Hill). In 2000, a new five-year plan must be developed and submitted for approval to HUD by May 15, 2000. The following development schedule was utilized for completion of the Consolidated Housing Plan. Public Hearing -Town of Chapel Hill Public Hearing -Orange County Community Consultations Affordable Housing Summit Public Hearing -Town of Chapel Hill Completion of Draft Documents Public Comment Period Plan Approval Plan Submitted to HUD January 25, 2000 February 29, 2000 February, March 2000 March 13, 2000 March 29, 2000 April 14, 2000 April 14 -May 15, 2000 May 3, 2000 May 15, 2000 The Consolidated Plan has now been developed by County and Town staff, and, as required by HUD, a public comment period was established by staff as April 14 -May 1S, 2000. In order to inform the general public of this opportunity and encourage participation, a Notice of Public Comment was placed in the Chapel Hill Herald. It is important to note that the Housing Priorities articulated in the Consolidated Plan are the same as those in the FY 1995-2000 Plan pending completion of Affordable Housing Task Force deliberations. Once the task force has completed its work, recommendations may be incorporated into this document by formal amendment. Also, the Orange County HOME Consortium is scheduled to receive approximately $438,000 in HOME Investment Partnership Program funding. The Board heard requests from groups interested in utilizing HOME Program funding at the February 29 public hearing. In addition, all interested parties were asked to submit a one page description of their proposed projects. The HOME Program Council comprised of a staff member from Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Orange County. All requests for funding totaled $1,062,500, a little more than double the available funding. The proposed HOME Program design attached to this abstract is the result of the staff deliberations. A resolution approving the Program design has also been prepazed for the boazd's consideration along with a resolution approving the Program Design. Also, the staff acknowledges the comments of Commissioners regazding the review and selection criteria used to evaluate potential HOME projects, however, there was not sufficient time to develop a process for commissioner involvement in project review this year. In the coming months, a project review/selection process that includes elected official input will be developed for the Board's consideration for use in future years. Also, at the February 29, 2000 hearing, the Board asked for a report of accomplishments from the HOME Program in the last five years. That report is enclosed. In accordance with the Orange County HOME Consortium Agreement approved in August 1999, the FY2000-2005 Consolidated Plan and the HOME Program Design for FY 2000-2001 must be approved by all jurisdictions prior to submission to HUD. ,These documents are scheduled for approval by Chapel Hill on May 8, Carrboro on May 9, and Hillsborough on May 8. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Orange County HOME Consortium is scheduled to receive approximately $438,000 in federal housing program funding. The required total local government match is $98,550. Orange County's share of the match is $41,391.

Orange County, NC Consolidated Plan for 2000-2005 Executive Summary Background Located in North Carolina, Orange County includes not only the towns of Carrboro and Hillsborough, but also Chapel Hill, the home of the largest campus of the State university. The presence of university students, more affluent and transient than other county residents, has created an imbalance in terms of housing and community development needs. Orange County must, therefore, concentrate its efforts on serving a strong urban community and rural areas as well. The important housing issues in Orange County have not changed. The high cost of homeownership has left many families out of the housing market or sent them to surrounding counties to buy homes and commute into Orange County for work. The rental market, inflated by the ability of UNC-CH students able to pay higher rents, is beyond the means of families with incomes below SO% of the area median. For families in need of three or more bedrooms, very little housing stock exists. The number of women and children staying at the homeless shelter continues to increase dramatically, and transition from the shelter into permanent housing in Orange County is nearly impossible since no transitional housing exists. Housing for special interest groups such as the elderly, persons that are developmentally disabled and persons with alcohol or drug addiction, is limited in Qrange County. Action Plan The Consolidated Plan for Qrange County has a total budget of nearly $1.1 million, of which $466,000 comes from Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and $S36,S50 from HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds (with $98,SS0 in applicant match). Citizen Participation Development of the Consolidated Plan for Orange County was undertaken by a staff working group that included a representative from each participating jurisdiction. Three public hearings were held prior to plan development. The first hearing was held in Chapel Hill on January 31, 2000 during a regulazly scheduled meeting of the Chapel Hill Town Council. The second hearing was held on February 29, 2000 during a regulazly scheduled meeting of the Orange County Board of Commissioners. Both hearings were advertised in local newspaper -The Chapel Hill Herald and notices were distributed via the U.S. mail to local non-profit organizations, neighborhood groups, and other interested citizens. A third public hearing was held on Mazch 29, 2000 after formulation of the action plan for CDBG Entitlement funding for the Town of Chapel Hill and preliminary development of the HOME Investment Partnership Program funding for the Orange County HOME Consortium. Again, groups were notified of the hearings by newspaper advertisements and the mailing of notices. The Draft Plan was available for review at the Chapel Hill Public Library and the Orange County Public Library during the public comment period April 14 -May 1S, 2000. Community Profile In 2000, the population of Orange County is estimated to be 111,982. Of that number, approximately 77 percent were White, 16 percent were African American, and 7 percent were of other minority groups including American Indian, Asian, and Hispanic. The fastest growing segments of the population are of Asian and/or Hispanic descent whose population has more than doubled since 1993. Further, it is estimated that approximately 12,280 of all households in Orange County were considered .very low income, with incomes between 0-SO percent of median family income (MFI). With the exception of whites, a disproportionate percentage among all other racial groups was very low income, ranging from 37 percent of the Native-American population to 44 percent of the African-American population. HOUSING AND COMMUNl{TY DEVELOPMENT NEEDS Conditions The high cost of homeownership has forced many families to purchase housing in other counties and commute into Orange County for work. The inflation of the rental market by University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-CH) students has caused hardships for families with incomes below 50 percent of MFI. Larger rental units are particularly scarce. Market Conditions According to the Orange County Economic Development Commission, the average new home sales in 1999 was $247,661, and for an existing home the price was $200,601. To purchase this new home a low income family of four persons would have to spend approximately 7.9 times their annual wages. For an existing home, the family would have to spend approximately 6.4 times their annual wages. In both of these instances, the low-income family need to have more money than they earn and is certainly well above the HUD standard for affordable housing. (U.S. Department of HUD standards define affordable owner occupied housing as purchasable at 2.5 to 3.0 times total family annual income.) The rental housing market, inflated by the ability of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill students able to gay mazket rents, is beyond the means of families with incomes below 50% of the area median. In 2000, it is estimated that rental units represent 43% of the county-wide housing market and approximately 67% of those rental households experience an extreme cost burden -~ paying between 30°k to S0% of their income for rental housing. Each year, HUD publishes existing housing Fair Market Rents (FMRs) for metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan counties in the country. These FMRs are based on the fortieth percentile of standard quality rental units occupied by recent movers. Public housing units, newly constructed units, and substandard units ,are excluded from the calculations. FMRs are established by unit size (number of bedrooms) and include an allowance for utilities. ~I Experience in Orange County has shown that local rents often run an average of 15 to 20 percent higher than those HUD published rates, which explains why such a high percentage (35%) pay mare than 50% of their income for rental housing costs. For families earning SO% or more than the County median monthly family income of $4,022 renting amulti-bedroom apartment is relatively easy given that they are able to locate units with 3 or more bedrooms. Larger apartments are in relative scarcity because the rental market is oriented toward providing student rental housing. The most recent County data estimates that 24%a of the County's rental properties contain three or more bedrooms. For families earning SO°lo or less than the median monthly income the primary concern is not finding a rental unit but rather affording one. In 2000, the upper level income limit .for alow- income family of four was $29,740. For these families renting a three bedroom dwelling unit in the County, or at a minimum, a two bedroom apartment in Chapel Hill the same set of families would have to spend at least 37% of their monthly income. In both instances, these families would have to spend more than 30% of their gross monthly income on rent. US HUD standards define affordable as occurring when a renter spends no more than 30010 of their .gross monthly income on total housing cost (rent & utilities). Affordable Housing Needs According to the 1990 census, Orange County had the highest percentage of very low- income households with housing problems in North Carolina; 77 percent of residents in this category cited cost burden and overcrowding as major issues. In 2000, the County has approximately 12,2$0 low-income households with cost burden, and overcrowdedness remaining the primary impediments to obtaining affordable housing. Further, according to a 1989 report from the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, 1,052 units in Orange County lacked indoor plumbing. The County considers this estimate to be a good approximation of the problem; however, an estimated 10-20% of the County's septic systems are failing at any given moment. The lack of affordable housing forced renters to live in substandard units. Housing problems were reported in 86 percent of very low-income households, and 97 percent of large families were forced to live in overcrowded, substandard units. The majority these families were also cost burdened. Homeless Needs The numbers of homeless persons in Orange County have increased dramatically. During fiscal year 1998-1999, the InterFaith Council Community House reported serving 801 individuals, 700 adults and 101 children. Of this number, 535 were African American, 198 were White, and 48 were Hispanic, and 20 of other race and ethnicity. The IFC Community House is the only emergency housing resource for families in Orange County. The greatest increase in the homeless population in Orange County continues to be women, children, and families, frequently victims of domestic violence. Thus, the opening of Project Hemostat last year was welcomed into the community. Project Homestart is a transitional housing program for homeless families that provides a structured setting for families to receive support before they live independently. Public and Assisted Housing Needs Orange County's only public housing consisted of the 336 units located in Chapel Hill. The majority of Chapel Hill's public housing units are two- and three-bedroom units and are located in Chapel Hill except for one community in Carrboro. The county's Section 8 program, administered by the Orange County Housing and Community Development Department, included 624 vouchers,. The other 269 units, of assisted housing included the following: 68 from Section 8 new construction, 81 from the Farmers Home 515 program, 94 from Section 236, and 26 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Loan Management Program. Barriers to Affordable Housing The Consolidated Plan for Orange County identifies the following barriers to affordable housing: High cost of public improvements: In southern Orange County, where vacant land served by public utilities is very limited, the price of land with water and sewer service is too high for the development of affordable housing: In unincorporated Orange County, although land accessible to urban services is available, many existing residences lack adequate plumbing facilities. An estimated 10-20 percent of county septic systems fail at any given moment. Lack of adequate transportation: While the public transportation system in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro urban area is comprehensive, access to jobs and facilities outside the urban area is limited by a lack of transportation. Fair Housing Analysis of Impediments/Action Plan Impediments: The Sale or Rental of Housing Public Policies Administrative Policies Residential Segregation Fair Housing Education Based on the analysis, the following recommendations are offered to promote fair housing within the jurisdiction. - Providing one-on-one consultation to landlords to encourage participation in the Section S Housing Assistance Program. - Working with the university to promote development of adequate campus housing in order to free-up local rental units and make them more affordable. 1 9 - Working with HUD to ensure that fair market rents reflect actual market rents in Orange County. - Meeting with local bank executives to formalize participation in public-private partnerships that further housing opportunities. - Creating public policies that link public deposits to financial institutions that commit to meeting community reinvestment needs of the County. - Developing reasonable evaluative criteria and producing an annual report for the Board of County Commissioners on lending practices by financial institutions and ceasing to do business with institutions failing to employ inclusive lending practices. - Building incentives and proscriptions into Orange County regulations for planned unit developments that promote affordable, non-segregated housing. - Studying and promoting other land strategies that encourage development of affordable housing. - Increasing educational opportunities through fair housing workshops, forums and presentations. - Adding source of income to the Orange County Civil Rights Ordinance. - Conduct fair housing testing to ensure compliance with the Ordinance. Lead-Based Paint According to the 1990 census, 22,653 very low- and low-income housing units in Orange County built between 1960 and 1979 were contaminated with lead-based paint. Of this number, 10,236 were rental units and 12,417 were owner occupied. (No new data is available at this time.) Evaluations of the prevalence of lead-based paint in housing units will be conducted through Orange County by project, and lead abatement will be prescribed for all dwellings targeted for rehabilitation. In addition, all assisted-housing tenants will be informed of the hazazds of lead based paint. The Orange County Health Department provides ongoing consultation to local housing staff. Community Development Needs Orange County has identified the need for increased economic development opportunities for low and moderate-income citizens and revitalization of businesses serving low-income neighborhoods in Chapel Hill. ~i, . ~ 5 HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY io Housing Priorities The Consolidated Plan for Orange County identified the following housing priorities for 1995-2000. • Frovide rehabilitation assistance for very low- and low-income homeowners and renters. • Reduce the number of owner-occupied and rental housing units without indoor plumbing. • Provide assistance to households at less than 80 percent of MFI to connect to existing public water and sewer systems. • Facilitate the construction of tip to 50 new units of rental housing that is affordable to very low and low-income families. • Create transitional housing units for homeless individuals and families. Non-housing Community Development Priorities The Consolidated Plan for Qrange County identified the following community development priorities: Provide economic development opportunities to law- and moderate-income citizens in Chapel Hill. Revitalize the business areas serving low-income neighborhoods of Chapel Hill. Anti-Poverty Strategy In a recent update to the County's Work First Plan, a subcommittee of the Welfare Reform Task Force, Strengthening Independence, was charged with identifying strategies and resources for Work First families that will enable them to increase their income and to become self-sufficient. As a part of their work, this committee identified the lack of affordable housing for those in the lowest income ranges as a major impediment to building self-sufficiency. They identified the following strategies to address this situation: 1. Build, renovate, or designate existing affordable housing and rental units for which preference is given to families who are engaged in aself-sufficiency program that provides job skills, employment counseling, entrepreneurship training, money management, and other social supports. 2. Increase availability and access to affordable rental housing and to special incentives and home mortgage loans in the primary market at rates attractive to buyers in this income group. 3. Advocate among policy makers, housing organizations, and funding sources to limit undue analysis',of the need and to place emphasis on action. Coordination of the Strategic Plan 11 Through the Orange Community Housing Corporation, Habitat for Humanity, EmPOWERment, Inc., and other non-profit organizations, Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough work in collaboration to implement the plan, as follows: The Chapel Hill Planning Department administers the CDBG program.
