CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />�rRCA'ia1 JANUA <br />• P .M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: <br />Planning and Development - Participation in the Cabarrus /Iredell /Rowan <br />HOME Consortium <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Cabarrus County has participated in the Cabarrus /Iredell /Rowan HOME <br />Consortium for nearly 20 years. This program provides full housing <br />rehabilitation for low to moderate income residents of Cabarrus County. <br />Cabarrus County focuses on elderly and disabled persons and <br />households for this service. Every three years, all of the consortium <br />members must choose to commit to program participation for the next <br />term in order for the consortium to continue. Some members actively <br />participate while others only agree to be members of the consortium. <br />Cabarrus County is required to notify the City of Concord by February 3, <br />2014 of our intent to remain in the consortium. The benefit to Cabarrus <br />County has been non - competitive funding for housing. In the past, <br />Cabarrus County has had to compete at the state level for funding and <br />wait on funding that was released in three year cycles. The housing <br />programs at the state level have been virtually eliminated at this time and <br />the Cabarrus /Iredell /Rowan HOME Consortium may be Cabarrus <br />County's only source of full housing rehabilitation funds. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to remain in the Cabarrus /Iredell /Rowan HOME Consortium and <br />notify the City of Concord of that intent. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />F -9 Page 127 <br />
