Staff does not recommend pursuing HOME program funds this year. Cabarrus County has been administering the Weatherization program for over 20 years. The program provides energy efficiency improvements and heating and air repair and replacements for low income households. Energy improvements were made for 33 families in FY16 at an average cost per unit of $5, 713.00. The Weatherization program repaired or replaced 22 HVAC systems at an average cost per unit of $4, 480.00. The Duke Helping Homes Fund was a new program for Cabarrus County this year. Under this program, Cabarrus County expended approximately $72, 000.00 in heating and air replacements and health and safety improvements. The Duke Helping Homes program funded the replacement of 8 HVAC systems and made health and safety improvements to 16 homes. It is uncertain at this time if the Duke program will be funded for another year, but staff is seeking permission to pursue the funds in the event they are available, and since there is often a quick turnaround time for submittals. The Weatherization program is expected to have funds available during the next fiscal year. We currently have a waiting list for Weatherization and HVAC services. There is no cash match required for either the Weatherization or Duke Grant. The HOME program grant has traditionally been used for full housing rehabilitation. Due to an inability to qualify applicants and limited availability of program administrators, staff does not recommend pursuing this funding this fiscal year. This will also alleviate the need for the required county match for this year. UPON MOTION of Vice Chairman Honeycutt, seconded by Commissioner Kiger and unanimously carried, the Board authorized staff to make application for Weatherization funding and Duke Helping Homes funding as available.
