Consolidated Plan
Every five years, state and local governments ("Participating Jurisdictions") that receive HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") are required to complete a Consolidated Plan that assesses the housing and community development needs of their jurisdiction, analyzes market conditions, and lays out a strategic plan that identifies priority needs and associated goals and anticipated allocations of federal and other funds.
The Orange County HOME Consortium (also called the Local Government Affordable Housing Collaborative) is comprised of the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough and Orange County. The Consortium completed the Consolidated Plan through extensive data analysis and community engagement conducted in partnership with Apiary Community Consulting and University of North Carolina researchers.
The Consolidated Plan must be approved by the governing bodies of the HOME Program Consortium before it can be submitted to HUD on May 15, 2020. A two-page summary of the Consolidated Plan is included as Attachment C and the full draft of the Consolidated Plan is included as Attachment D.
