INFORMATION: The Orange County HOME Program Review Committee was formed in 2000 to provide an opportunity for elected officials and staff from the participating jurisdictions to discuss program activities and develop future spending plans. Recent discussions among elected officials indicate an interest in the staff and the HOME Program Review Committee to broaden its scope to include broader discussions about affordable housing issues.
The full proposal, found in Attachment A, was created as a joint effort between the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Orange County. The new structure and name is intended to serve as a mechanism for increased collaboration and information sharing around affordable housing issues within the county.
If the Board chooses to approve this proposal, it may do so by approving the resolution found in Attachment B.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact anticipated from this proposal.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends the Board approve the resolution in Attachment B revising the scope of work and renaming the HOME Program Review Committee to the Orange County Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative.
