The Orange County Housing Rehabilitation Program uses a variety of funding sources that includes CDBG, SHIP, HOME, and the State of Florida’s Weatherization Grant funds. CDBG funds the administration of the Orange County Housing Rehabilitation Program to implement rehabilitation services that include minor repairs, emergency repairs, substantial repairs, weatherization and sewer/water connections. During fiscal year 2012-2013, a total of 371 homeowner households received rehabilitation services from multiple funding sources including 78 clients served by Seniors First HEART program, and 14 with CDBG-funded minor repairs or energy improvements. In the past, homeownership activities have been funded primarily by the State funded SHIP program, and recently by NSP1, NSP3, and HOME. The SHIP program provided financial assistance to assist 26 households, 5 of which were very low income. NSP assisted 49 households, Habitat for Humanity Orlando assisted 10, and HOME assisted 6 additional households with financial assistance in the form of downpayment or affordable homes for a total of 91 new low income homeowners. Additionally, the SHIP program provided funds to counsel 1,780 individuals with prepurchase counseling. Table 10 describes the assistance provided using federal and local funds.

Actions Taken and Accomplishments in Serving Worse Case Needs The 2011-2016 Consolidated Plan identified affordable rental housing as a top priority housing need in Orange County. For this reason, Orange County has continued to implement the HOME Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program (TBRA), designed to assist clients with worse case needs by serving the housing needs of elderly and disabled households who are at 50% or below the AMI. The TBRA Program assisted 175 disabled clients and elderly persons with rental subsidies. Orange County CAPER Page 43
During fiscal year 2012-2013, Orange County continued to provide funding for homeless prevention activities through the Salvation Army and United Way. Homeless prevention consists of rental financial assistance, case management and related services to households with incomes no greater than 30% AMI, who are at risk of homelessness. These organizations assisted in stabilizing 87 households in Orange County who were at risk of homelessness. Other actions taken to assist homeless households are described in Section V of this document. CDBG public service funding has also served “worse case needs” populations. This program provided funding to various nonprofit agencies, such as Lighthouse of Central Florida, Primrose Center, Quest and The Center for Independent Living, to train adults with disabilities. These organizations provided job training and self-sufficiency skills to 151 adults with disabilities during FY 2012-2013. Finally, the S+C program provided rental assistance to four new clients and an average cumulative number of 82 chronically homeless persons with either mental illness, substance abuse, and/or both. CDBG also provided funding to pay for case management for Shelter Care Plus clients through public service funding to the Homeless Services Network. D. Actions Taken and Accomplishments in Serving People with Disabilities CDBG funding is instrumental in providing job training, employment placement and independent living skills to persons with physical and mental disabilities in Orange County through various agencies. Funding in the amount of $52,516 was provided to Quest to serve 47 clients with independent skills training, $34,750 to Primrose of Central Florida to provide skills training and job placement for 26 clients, $37,500 to Lighthouse Central Florida to provide job skills training and placement to 31 visually impaired individuals and $36,642 to Center for Independent Living to provide job training for 47 individuals with disabilities. E. Section 215 Housing Opportunities Section 215 of the National Affordable Housing Act contains eligibility requirements for affordable housing as well as a definition pertaining to the HOME program. Sections 92.252 and 92.254 under Title 24 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 92 (24 CFR 92) further explains rental and owner-occupied HOME housing criteria necessary to qualify as Section 215 housing. Orange County had no qualifying activities. Orange County CAPER Page 44
