Executive Summary
The 2010 North Carolina Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (2010 NC
CAPER) summarizes the accomplishments of four North Carolina agencies, each of whom receives a
formula grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The four
agencies are:
 North Carolina Department of Commerce, Community Investment and Assistance;
 North Carolina Housing Finance Agency;
 North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Economic Opportunity; and
 North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, AIDS Care Unit.
These four agencies and their HUD-funded programs are working together to meet three goals for the
good of North Carolinians. These three basic goals are:
 Provision of decent and affordable housing;
 Provision of a suitable living environment and
 Expansion of economic opportunity.
Since 1999, the state has pursued a consolidated planning process that addresses the major housing and
community development needs affecting North Carolina communities, determines priorities for
addressing those needs, and lays out a strategy for using the resources available. Pursuant to the
provisions of 24 CFR, Housing and Urban Development, Part 91, Performance Reports, the state has
prepared the 2010 NC CAPER on its progress in implementation of the 2010 Annual Action Plan and the
North Carolina Consolidated Action Plan, 2006-2010.
The four partnering entities received grants to provide housing and housing-related services; community
and economic development assistance; and supportive services to low and moderate-income individuals
and families; homeless individuals and families; and individuals with HIV/AIDS and their families. This
document details the resources received and the programs used to improve the lives and living conditions
as well as education, employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for North Carolina’s poorest citizens
during the 2010 calendar year.
Summary of Housing Needs
Every five years, for the benefit of HUD, our partnering agencies, and the public, the State prepares a
five-year housing strategy outlining North Carolina’s plans for meeting housing and community
development needs. This cycle’s five-year strategy, called the North Carolina Consolidated Plan 2006-
2010, lays out the priority needs for North Carolina, which are based upon housing and population
information captured from census data special tabulations, which yield the incidence of certain housing
problems (overcrowding, inadequate plumbing facilities, cost burden, etc.) among the population. The
five-year plan also sets the framework from which each year’s annual action plan can be drawn. The
Annual Action Plan further details how the State will accomplish its five-year goals during annual
program cycles.
The needs listed below are those identified through the Consolidated Plan process through quantitative
data, qualitative data, and numerous public meetings with major stakeholders and citizens across the state.
Because the State cannot possibly meet all of the housing needs with its limited resources, when
determining those priority needs it also considered strategic investment and the appropriateness of
resources available to realistically meet the needs. Table 1 details the state’s housing priorities based
5
upon the Housing Market Analysis and Needs Assessment performed as part of the 2006-2010
Consolidated Plan.

Summary of Resources
In 2010, the State assisted 56,395 households through four core programs, which funded the
construction/rehabilitation of housing units, and provided assistance for home-buyer initiatives, rental
assistance, and housing-related and homeless services. These four programs are:
The State of North Carolina Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
These funds help local governments improve deteriorating residential neighborhoods, support public
services, install water and sewer facilities for residential areas or to job-creating industrial sites, and
provide loans or grants to large and small businesses. The North Carolina Department of Commerce’s
Community Investment and Assistance department administers CDBG funds for community development
activities, while funds for economic development activities are administered by the North Carolina
Commerce Finance Center. In 2010, North Carolina received $48,942,431 for the State of North Carolina
CDBG program.
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
HOME funds help local governments, nonprofit organizations, and developers build or improve
affordable housing and provide rental assistance and affordable second mortgages. HOME is
administered by the N.C. Housing Finance Agency. This year the N.C. Housing Finance Agency received
$21,658,906 in resources through the HOME program. The State’s General Assembly appropriated
$1,527,996 in public, nonfederal funds to match the federal HOME funds.
The Emergency Shelter Grants Program (ESG)
These funds help local governments and nonprofit organizations support emergency shelters and
transitional housing for the homeless, provide essential services, and prevent homelessness. ESG is
administered by the Office of Economic Opportunity in the N.C. Department of Health and Human
Services. In 2010, the State received $2,563,980 in resources through the ESG program.
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA)
HOPWA funds help local health departments, non-profit community based organizations, housing
authorities, AIDS service organizations and other interested provider agencies meet the housing needs of
persons living with AIDS or related diseases, and their families. The AIDS Care Unit in the Department
of Health and Human Services administers the HOPWA Program. This past year the State received
$2,685,680 in resources through the HOPWA program.
These funds, along with other private and nonfederal resources, were available in 2010 to address
program goals, priority needs, and specific objectives described in the 2010 Annual Action Plan. The
table below summarizes the resources used in the state for affordable housing.

Distribution of Resources
Each of the four participating agencies that comprise the CAPER receives funds from HUD. Following is
a brief discussion of the distribution of these resources for the 2010 program year.
Community Investment and Assistance
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
Approximately $49 million was committed to the State of North Carolina Community Development
Block Grant program during 2010. After administrative support and technical assistance, $47, 374,158
was available for distribution statewide using competitive and non-competitive approaches. Due to the
high unemployment rate, nearly $21 million (43.88%) was allocated statewide for eligible activities that
support job creation and stimulation through a competitive process. Another $14.7 million (31.00%) was
committed to housing related activities. The remaining $11.3 million (25.12%) was designated for
capacity building, economic development, and other non-housing related activities. All unused funds
were designated for housing-related and contingency projects.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (HFA)
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
In 2010, NCHFA invested HOME funds among six main activities: approximately $1.3 million, or 8% of
the funding, was invested in supportive housing activities; $697,897 (8%) was invested in rental
assistance for disabled populations; approximately $906,614 (6%) was invested in rental housing
preservation activities ; approximately $4.8 million (29%) was invested in homeowner rehabilitation
activities; approximately $2.46 million (15%) was invested in rental production activities, and
approximately $6.17 million (38%) was invested in homebuyer activities.
Office of Economic Opportunity
Emergency Shelter Grants
A total of $2,435,781 of the State���s FY 2010 ESG allocation, or ninety-five percent (95%), was awarded
to nonprofit organizations and three units of local government operating a total of 138 shelters for the
homeless in 50 counties. The remaining $128,199, or five percent (5%), was used for program
administration. Eligibility for funding was determined through a pre-application review. Applicants
meeting all program criteria were notified of their approved funding level and given a full application
package. Grant agreements were executed in August and all program funds were disbursed.
AIDS Care Unit
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Program (HOPWA)
The HOPWA program’s annual allocation can be used over a period of three years from the date of
receipt. $80,570, or three (3%), was set aside for grantee administration and $2,605,110, or ninety-seven
percent (97%), was awarded to 11 Regional Networks of Care through a competitive process. These
providers include nonprofit agencies, housing authorities and health departments that provide housing and
related services to persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
Geographic Distribution of Resources
Each of the four programs has unique methods of geographic distribution. Funding for the Community
Development Block Grant Program is directed to non-entitlement communities across the state.

Emergency Shelter Grant, HOPWA and HOME funds are distributed statewide. For the HOPWA
program, the home county of the agency that received funds is shown on the map, even though that
agency may serve multiple counties. It is not possible at this time to report the amount of HOPWA funds
spent in each county that a multi-county agency serves. The following maps show the actual distribution
of funds for the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA programs during 2010.

Outcome Measures1
Uniform performance measures have been developed by HUD. The Consolidated Plan partners
have chosen appropriate performance measures for their specific programs. The following are
the performance measures for North Carolina HUD-funded programs by agency, category,
objective and outcome.

Households Assisted According to Priority Need Category
Community Investment and Assistance (CI)
The Community Investment and Assistance (CI) assisted individuals and families through eight major
funding categories: Community Revitalization, Scattered Site Housing, Infrastructure, Housing
Development, Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance, Economic Development, and Urgent
Needs/Contingencies. The eighth category called North Carolina Economic Recovery was a one-time
category designed to assist with job creation and retention. Some funding categories comprise more than
one grant category. Information on each grant category is provided in the CDBG Performance Report
section of this grant.
For clarification, categories specific to housing activities as discussed in the following sections include:
North Carolina Economic Recovery, Community Revitalization, Scattered Site Housing, Infrastructure
Hook-up, and Housing Development. CDBG grant categories that receive funding but have a broader
community development focus include: Infrastructure, Capacity Building, Individual Development
Accounts, Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance, Economic Development, and Urgent
Needs/Contingencies.
CI saw continued success of the CDBG program in assisting low-to-moderate income persons through all
program categories. CI provided direct housing assistance to approximately 12,700 households in 2010.
Actual accomplishments met goals identified in the 2010 annual action plan in most categories.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA)
NCHFA invests HOME and HOME Match funds in homebuyer assistance, rental production, rental
rehabilitation, rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing, development of supportive housing for persons
with disabilities and homeless people, and rental assistance for people with disabilities.
In general, 2010 NCHFA completed more units than were originally projected. For the most part, this can
be attributed to the Key rent assistance program. The Key program, which has been nationally recognized,
saw an increase in units assisted and this will continue as more targeted units are completed. PLP and
SHDP also funded more units than projected because of projects that originally slated for completion in
2009 were placed in service in 2010. Offsetting this, however, NCHFA’s homebuyer programs and rental
production did see fewer units placed in service as the housing market is still recovering.
Although all homebuyer assistance activity is low priority according to the 2006-2010 Strategic
Consolidated Plan, the Agency is pleased to be serving households with very modest incomes; the
average household income in the units funded with HOME in 2010 was approximately $28,362. In
addition to using HOME, the Agency uses other funding sources to serve lower incomes through non-homeownership
activities. It relies on a blend of state funding to serve these high-priority populations
like the Housing Trust Fund.

32,609 single family adults, 507 children, 5,142 homeless families comprise 5,182 adults and 9,022
children (14,204 adults and children) sought assistance from 138 homeless shelter facilities in 50
counties. Approximately ninety-four percent (94%) of FY 2009 ESG funding was used to pay operating
expenses (i.e., rent, utilities, supplies/materials, equipment and administrative costs). Approximately
three percent (3%) of the funding was used to provide essential services such as counseling,
transportation, health care, housing referral, employment and/or education services. Approximately three
percent (3%) of funding was used to provide homeless prevention services that include short-term
subsidies to defray rent and utility arrearages, security deposits or first month’s rent payments. The
remaining five percent (5%) of FY 2009 ESG funding was used for program administrative costs incurred
by the Office of Economic Opportunity.
AIDS Care Unit
The HOPWA Program assisted more than 2,400 persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families through
the following programs:
 Tenant-based rental assistance program;
 Short-term rent mortgage and utility program;
 Supportive service;
 Resource identification;
 Housing information; and
 Operating Cost for family care homes.
The 2004 statewide HOPWA needs assessment indicated the need to increase permanent housing;
consequently, tenant-based rental assistance increased from 268 units in 2009 to 347 units in 2010.
Summary of Resources Made Available2
In 2010, the State of North Carolina invested CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA funding to assist 56,395
households throughout the state and the various programs. Additional allocation of resources can be
found in the individual agency program reports.
CDBG and HOME funds were used primarily to produce or rehabilitate housing, provide homebuyer
assistance, and develop infrastructure required for housing development. ESG funds were used to provide
shelter, essential services and homeless prevention activities to homeless individuals and households.
HOPWA funds were used to assist households and individuals with housing related services in both short
and long-term tenant-based rent assistance.

Assessment of Goals/Objectives – Actions Taken
The following is a list of the actions taken during the 2010 program year for each agency.
Community Investment and Assistance
CI saw continued success of the CDBG program in assisting low-to-moderate income persons with
housing and infrastructure improvements. CI provided direct housing assistance to approximately 12,700
households in 2010. Encapsulating all of CI’s programs to include infrastructure, urgent needs, and other
community development activities, households were provided assistance ranging from clean drinking
water, improved public services, financial literacy training to help lift them out of poverty, employment
16
possibilities that were non-existent prior to the business moving to where they lived, and access to
medical and dental care that was previously unobtainable.
Actual accomplishments met goals laid out in the 2010 annual action plan in most categories. However,
due to the rising costs of construction, it remains difficult for CI and its grantees to continue to provide
necessary services at past funding levels.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 Home ownership programs:
Status: The Agency assisted 317 households through its FirstHome program and 321 households
through its MCC program in 2010. The Agency financed 86 homes under the New Homes Loan
Pool, 203 under the Self-Help Loan Pool, and 15 under the IDA Program using HOME and NSP
funds. The Agency served 110 homeowners through its Single Family Rehabilitation program
and assisted approximately 585 homeowners under the Urgent Repair Program, using Housing
Trust Fund monies.
 To operate Rental production programs:
Status: The Agency awarded tax credits for projects that will assist 2,384 households. The
Agency awarded $15.6 million in Rental Production Program loans in 2010, which will be
leveraged with state and federal tax credits to assist in the production of more than half of those
affordable units.
In 2010, the Agency also awarded funding for supportive housing projects that will create 517
units.
Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO)
 To ensure the provision of emergency and/or transitional housing, essential services, and/or
homeless prevention services to approximately 32,995 homeless individuals and 5,142 homeless
families. It is anticipated that over 97 nonprofit organizations and three units of local government
operating over 114 emergency and/or transitional facilities in 48 of the state’s 100 counties will
be funded in FY 2010
 To continue its involvement with the North Carolina Interagency Council for Coordinating
Homeless Programs (ICCHP).
Status: In 2010, OEO continued its participation in activities of the ICCHP by serving as a
member agency of the Council.
 To work with the ICCHP to implement strategies and policies outlined in the state’s ten-year plan
to end homelessness in North Carolina.
Status: As a member agency of the ICCHP, OEO provided input into the implementation of
strategies and policies developed by the Council.
AIDS Care Unit
 To provide additional resources and research on funding opportunities for project sponsors
through regularly scheduled HOPWA planning meetings.

Status: The state of North Carolina has transitioned from the Consortium Model to the Patient
Management Model for funding HIV care services with Ryan White Part B and HOPWA funds.
This new system for funding HIV care will improve the health status of persons living with HIV
infection in North Carolina by providing a safe, decent and affordable place to live.
 To hold training workshops on current trends in HIV housing.
Status: ACU is working with North Carolina Housing Finance Agency to train HOPWA project
sponsors on becoming referrals sources for the KEY program.
Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing – Actions Taken
The text below highlights the activities the state agencies undertook to implement the 2010 Annual
Action Plan.
Community Investment and Assistance
Under the 1983 Amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act, recipients of Community
Development Block Grant funds must implement activities to affirmatively further fair housing.
As part of the 2010 Annual Performance Report (APR) process and documenting AFFH efforts, CI
required grantees to submit a record of their quarterly fair housing activities and associated costs. Ideally,
these quarterly activities reported in the APRs match activities present in the approved fair housing plans.
When our organization approves fair housing plans, we instruct grantees that they can repeat activities
while a grant is active, they cannot not conduct the same fair housing activity in consecutive quarters.
As shown in figure below, of the 212 CDBG grantees and 24 CDBG-R grantees required to submit an
APR for 2010, roughly 70% or greater reported fair housing activities. Some grantees are not required to
conduct activities in certain quarters since there was no active grant in that quarter.
18
Figure 6: 2010 CDBG/CDBG-R Grantees Reporting Fair Housing
Of the grantees that reported estimated and actual costs of those quarterly activities, the costs average to
about $80 to $110 per quarter (see figure below). Higher costs are in the 2nd and 3rd quarters possibly due
to the fact that grantees tend to reevaluate fair housing processes at the beginning and end of years or
request free fair housing information from the NC Human Relations Commission (NCHRC).

Figure 7: 2010 CDBG/CDBG-R Fair Housing Costs
The variety of quarterly activity was aggregated into different categories, such as dissemination of
pamphlets, adopting a plan, conducting a public hearing or advertising in the local newspaper. The
following figures illustrated the percentages of activities conducted per quarter for CDBG and CDBG-R
grantees. From the graphs presented, the top activities conducted were distributing pamphlets, newspaper
advertisements, and requesting information from NCHRC. The ―Other‖ category represents activities
conducted that were unique to an individual grantee and did not fit in well with other established
categories. Distribution of pamphlets is a broad category that includes but is not limited to, such locations
and entities as banks, realtors, post offices, grocery stores, lenders, churches, and other public
organizations.

Newspaper advertisements, which can be costly, are more commonplace than utilization of free Public
Service Announcements via radio and televisions media. Information in governmental and administrative
buildings generally consisted of fair housing posters and replenishment of pamphlets and brochures. In
October 2010 a new guidance bulletin issued to grantees requiring at least one workshop be conducted as
a quarterly activity, hence an increase in frequency of workshops was seen in the last quarter of 2010. It
is surprising that with increased availability and public use of technology such as the internet, more local
governments did not post more fair housing information on their local websites.
In general, it is concluded that distribution of pamphlets and newspaper advertisements, while valid
activities, dominate the public outreach and education processes for grantees to affirmatively further fair
housing. It is recommended that grantees evaluate the methods they take and cater to the local target
areas in conducting public outreach and education to AFFH to see if pamphlets are effective as they
intend to be. In addition, if they have not done so already, all grantees need to ensure that they also
follow Title VI of the Civil Rights Act regulation and reach out to those individuals with Limited English
Proficiency (LEP) in fair housing materials.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 The Agency will continue to (1) distribute its Elderly Housing Rights and Consumer Protection
Program information brochures, (2) provide Fair Housing training in conjunction with its
Housing Credit Program Compliance and Service Coordinator workshops, and (3) publish
Spanish translations of its FirstHome and MCC Program information.
Status: The Agency continued all of these activities in 2010. The Agency has continued to
distribute its Elderly Housing Rights and Consumer Protection Program information brochures
through its partners. HFA continued to provide Fair Housing training as a part of its Rental
Production Program (RPP) Training and Tax-Credit Compliance Training events which were held
nine times in 2010. The Agency also continues to provide Reverse Mortgage Training for housing
counselors across the state.
The Agency also continued to operate the Spanish language version of its website, on which
translations of FirstHome and MCC program brochures, as well as information about other
Agency activities, were made available to the Spanish-speaking population. The website had
accumulated over 94,000 visits by the end of 2010.
 All developers of affordable rental housing financed by the Agency are required to develop and
implement Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plans, which are reviewed by the Agency for
effectiveness and proper implementation. Projects receiving HOME loans must certify that they
have developed and adopted affirmative marketing procedures for HOME-assisted housing
containing five or more units.
Status: The Agency continued to successfully carry out this function during 2010.
 The Agency will publicize the availability of its updated guide published in October 2005 and
reprinted in April 2006 and in 2008: ―Fair Housing for Tenants with Disabilities; Understanding
Reasonable Accommodations and Reasonable Modifications‖.
Status: The Agency continues to make this guide available on its website, and distributes it to
attendees of its RPP and LIHTC trainings. In addition, their partners in this effort distribute the
guide to attendees of their series of Fair Housing trainings across the state.
22

affordable housing, provide assistance with down payment and closing costs and offer financial
options.
Status: The Agency’s Home Ownership Business Group will continue working with the Real
Estate Commission and other partners to provide classes for real estate professionals and other
lenders and mortgage professionals.

 The Unit will continue to expand the Tenant Based Rental Assistance program, which is designed
to increase housing choice for low-income persons with AIDS and their families.
Status: ACU encourages their funded agencies to establish and maintain relationships with
landlords and local housing community with the goal of placing clients into units. Fair Housing
pamphlets, sample letters for reasonable accommodations and other fair housing information is
made available to funded agencies.
Affordable Housing – Actions Taken
Community Investment and Assistance
CI focuses on increasing the supply of affordable housing and the quality of housing to ensure
affordability. CI accomplishes this primarily through the Housing Development category and the
Scattered Site Housing Program. Through the Housing Development category, CI supports new
construction rental and homeownership activity. CI awarded $1.0 million in CDBG funds for Low-
Income Housing Tax Credits projects. CI also provided grants to the North Carolina Housing Finance
Agency’s Rental Production Program applicants to further reduce housing costs to reach lower income
households.
In the Scattered Site Housing category, CI focused on rehabilitation and reconstruction of moderate to
severely deteriorated housing. CI awarded $8.2 million in this category that is limited to households at or
below 50% of area median income.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency is a self-supporting public agency that provides financing
through the sale of tax-exempt bonds and management of federal and state tax credit programs, the
federal HOME Program, the state Housing Trust Fund, and other programs.
What we offer
Using these resources and its own earnings, the Agency:
 offers low-cost mortgages and downpayment assistance for first-time home buyers;
 finances affordable homes and apartments developed by local governments, nonprofit
organizations, and private owners;
 finances the development of housing for people with special needs;
 finances the rehabilitation of substandard owner-occupied homes; and
23
 administers HUD rent assistance contracts for 25,000 privately owned apartments statewide.
Continuum of Care Narrative
Community Investment and Assistance
CI ensures that numerous programs by continuum of care agencies requesting certificate of consistency
certification are consistent with the state consolidated plan which states:
“The state realizes it cannot meet all of the housing need, but it can strategically invest its limited
resources to alleviate important housing problems for North Carolina’s households.
The state has three basic goals:
1. To provide decent and affordable housing
2. To provide a suitable living environment
3. To expand economic opportunity
The primary means through which these goals are achieved is the provision of affordable
housing. Each agency operates programs that help to fulfill these goals, while meeting housing
and service-related needs statewide.”
As part of the transparency, any agency that is receiving funding from other State agencies will also be
reviewed by those State agencies as well. In 2010, CI certified 24 public housing authorities and other
agencies seeking HUD funds as identified in the SuperNOFA.
Other Actions Indicated in the Action Plan – Actions Taken
Each of the four state agencies undertook additional actions to further the housing and support services
goals of their organizations in the following areas:
 Anti-Poverty Strategies;
 Capacity Building and Technical Assistance;
 Coordination and Collaboration;
 Housing Delivery Systems;
 Legislative and Public Policy Initiatives; and
 Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction.
Support of Anti-Poverty Strategies
Community Investment and Assistance
 To target investments toward distressed rural areas and high priority small cities through the
Commerce Department’s 21st Century Communities Initiative, Urban Progress (UP) and Agrarian
Growth (AG) Zones, and distressed counties.
Status: CI continued to target investments toward distressed, rural communities. A fifth round
of 21st Century Communities was announced for the period of 2009-2010. These communities
include the counties of Alexander, Camden, Clay, Nash, and Scotland.
24
Within the Housing Development category in 2010, preference was given for rental housing
developments that were: (1) within local governments from Tier 1 or Tier 2 counties, (2) projects
in Urban Progress and State Agrarian Zones, and (3) local governments in 21st Century counties.
The Community Revitalization program was awarded in 2010. The program allowed for a
holistic approach to community and economic development by enabling local governments to
address multiple needs in high poverty areas. This category provides flexible multi-year funding
to help alleviate poverty and carry out a long-term, sustainable revitalization strategy in selected
targeted neighborhoods. Activities such as housing and self-sufficiency counseling, job training,
and down payment assistance helped residents of target areas pull themselves out of poverty.
Community Revitalization communities are required to be located in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 county.
Also in 2010, CI introduced the North Carolina Economic Recovery Program. The program
focused on projects located in non-entitlement areas of the state with high unemployment rates.
The program allowed local governments to address housing, infrastructure, public service, and
public facilities needs.
 To support development of soundly designed affordable rental and single-family housing in
appropriate settings.
Status: In 2010, CI continued to use smart growth guidelines in the Housing Development
Category. These guidelines are designed to stimulate high quality, sustainable development in
LMI neighborhoods throughout the non-entitlement areas of the state. The guidelines incorporate
sound development practices while balancing environmental protection with the economic needs
of builders and future homeowners. To receive housing development funds subdivisions had to
meet the following minimum requirements: (1) be connected to public water and sewer, (2) be
located in or near an existing community, (3) have streets that met NCDOT standards and
connected to public streets, (4) all cul-de-sacs had to be less than sixteen lots, (5) have a 30-foot
buffer on each side of all perennial streams, and (6) include some open space in the development.
In 2010, CI opened and award four multifamily developments using Low-Income Housing Tax
Credits in the first round of the Housing Development category.
 To emphasize smart growth principles in CDBG program categories. Priority for funding will be
given to projects that demonstrate design excellence, infill development, and more intense use of
existing buildings in downtowns and nearby older neighborhoods.
Status: CI continues to support proper new affordable rental and single-family housing through
its Housing Development category. This increase in the stock of sound affordable housing
improves the lives of hundreds of LMI residents across the state.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 The Agency will continue to finance supportive rental housing through the federal and state
housing tax credit programs and through the Rental Production Program.
Status: In 2010, the Agency awarded capital funds to finance the production of over 150 units of
affordable housing targeted to persons with disabilities through its rental production programs.
Through a combination of state and federal resources these units are able to receive operating
subsidies, making them affordable to persons on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The
Agency has partnered with the NC Department of Health and Human Services, who refer clients
to these units, in order to ensure that these units remain fully utilized.
25
 The Agency expects continued stability in its IDA home ownership initiative which includes
providing matching funds and second mortgages to IDA participants who will be purchasing
homes. The program serves households participating in any home ownership IDA program in
North Carolina.
Status: The Agency continued these activities in the IDA program.
 The Agency will continue funding transitional and permanent housing for the homeless and non-homeless
persons with special needs through the Supportive Housing Development Program.
Status: Through its regular Supportive Housing Development Program, the Agency awarded
over $5 million dollars in 2010 to fund 517 units of supportive housing for persons with special
needs and the homeless.
Capacity-Building and Technical Assistance Activities
Community Investment and Assistance
 CI will continue to implement the Capacity Building program for nonprofit organizations. Grants
of up to $75,000 will be available to each organization. Nonprofit organizations that receive
capacity building funds are expected to develop projects and apply for CDBG funding in
partnership with their local governments within two years of award.
Status: One Capacity Building grants was awarded in 2010. The award was made to the Town
of Columbia.
 Technical Assistance funds will concentrate on developing the professional skills and capabilities
of local community development grant administrators. CI and the School of Government at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill co-sponsor this professional certification program for
administrators of CDBG grants. The Community Development Academy was held on March 8-
10, 2010 and April 5-7, 2010.

technical assistance and certification to 31 students. The participants represented practitioners
from the public, nonprofit, and private sectors.
 The Division has developed and is conducting workshops on a variety of topics that could include
environmental review and CDBG basics.
Status: The Division conducted targeted workshops in 2010 designed to provide technical
assistance to eligible local governments and grant administrators. In addition to the Community
Development Academy, which provides a week of comprehensive CDBG and community
development classes, grant-specific workshops were held for the Scattered Site Housing and
Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance Grant categories. A 2010 Community
Revitalization workshop was held in the fall of 2010. Three rehabilitation workshops were held
across the state, covering rehabilitation topics crossing multiple grant categories. In addition,
CDBG staff spoke at numerous conferences and workshops to audiences about CDBG programs.
A total of about 80 workshop participants attended CDBG workshops. CI also conducted
webinars and conference calls on CDBG topics including fair housing, Language Access Plan,

Addressing Weaknesses in the Housing Delivery System
During the past six years, the participating agencies have used human, financial and programmatic
resources to increase available affordable housing stock for rent or purchase; fund community and
economic development projects that created jobs and stimulated revitalization; as well as opportunities for
business ownership; provide shelters and transitional housing; provide related services to homeless
families and individuals, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families and other special needs populations.
Although every effort is made to improve the collective quality of life for the state’s most vulnerable
populations, budget constraints sometimes limit the scope and extent of existing programs and hinder
development and implementation of new ones. Each of the participating agencies has highlighted their
individual efforts to address weaknesses in the housing delivery system.
Community Investment and Assistance
 CI has redesigned existing programs and developed new programs which offer more local
communities opportunities to participate. The Department of Commerce through the Office of
Rural Development continues to operate a Capacity Building program that tries to increase
nonprofit participation in the CDBG Program/Process. The Division also considers its
sponsorship of various training programs for nonprofits a strength because it helps to increase
their ability to develop better housing projects. Weaknesses in housing delivery are tied in part
to budget constraints.
Status: CI also participated in training sponsored by the Council of State Community
Development Agencies, COSCDA, including the CDBG Boot Camp and the annual National
Conference, as well as training sponsored by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 The Agency has private activity volume cap sufficient to meet its 2010 homeownership goals. It
offers a variety of mortgage loan products (FHA, USDA, and VA) and has 90 day interest rate
guarantees. The Agency has provided mortgages to approximately 99% of the state’s counties
with its mortgage products, and actively seeks to expand that coverage through product training
and expansion of eligible new lenders. The Agency may also increase income and sales price
limits as federal limits change subject to NCHFA Board Approval.
Status: Income and sales price limits were approved by the HFA Board of Directors in 2010.
 The Agency will continue to provide application workshops and housing development workshops
for organizations interested in developing supportive housing for individuals with special needs.
Status: The Agency provided two workshops in 2010 for organizations interested in developing
supportive housing.
31
 The Agency will continue to strongly support various statewide housing trade associations such
as the NC Community Development Association, the NC Community Action Association, the
Professional Housing Rehabilitation Association of NC, the NC Association of CDCs, the NC
IDA Collaborative, and the Interagency Council for the Coordination of Homeless Programs, etc.
We will continue a balanced policy of serving on association boards and committees, serving as
presenters at training conferences and providing gap financing for training efforts of mutual
benefit, in an effort to assist those associations in their efforts to address weaknesses in the
housing delivery system.
Status: The Agency continued participating in these partnerships and associations in 2010.
Agency staff participated on the boards of multiple organizations, and presented at many
conferences around the state and the region.
 The Agency continues to make changes to the delivery of single-family rehabilitation assistance
to rural areas. The SFR program, starting in 2010, is on a 3 year rotation, serving 33 counties
every year. It is also now functioning as a pool program, similar to our homeownership loan
pools, so that high performing partners will able to access more SFR funds when needed.
Status: In 2010, the Agency awarded $6.4 million dollars to the SFR program. These funds will
result in the rehabilitation of over 128 homes.
AIDS Care Unit
 The Unit considers the experience of the HOPWA project sponsors to be a strength. However,
the 7% cap on administrative costs covered by HOPWA is unworkable and too low, making it
difficult for project sponsors to function without proper reimbursement for fulfilling increased
administrative responsibilities and attending much needed training. As a way to overcome
weaknesses in its housing delivery system the Unit’s review of internal processes recommended
advocating for an increase to the 7% administrative cap in 2010, as opportunities become
available.
Status: HUD HOPWA regulations have a seven percent (7%) administrative cap for all eligible
activities. ACU continue to encourage HOPWA project sponsors to leverage funding and seek
other funding sources.
Legislative Initiatives
Community Investment and Assistance
 The Department of Commerce will advocate for stronger tools to attract investment, jobs and
economic vitality to urban core areas. CI will continue to work with various state economic
development agencies and stakeholders to define and produce new strategies that will enhance
economic development opportunities in local communities.
Status: CI created economic incentives packages increasing the amount of private investment
and jobs in metropolitan areas.
 The North Carolina Department of Commerce will work to expand the Main Street program.
Status: The Main Street Program added four towns in 2010 –Davidson, Garner, Kings Mountain,
Roanoke Rapids. The Small Town Main Street program added six communities in 2010 –
Catawba, Troy, Highlands, Plymouth, Murfreesboro, and Scotland Neck.
32
 In light of recent budget cuts, the Division will work to strengthen State funding for the CDBG
program. CI will educate legislators to the need for state financial support for community
development initiatives in rural parts of North Carolina.
Status: CI staff took advantage of several opportunities to educate legislators about the need for
state financial support for community development initiatives in rural parts of North Carolina.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 The Agency plans to work to increase appropriations to the Housing Trust Fund and federal
HOME Program match.
Status: The General Assembly continued to fund the Housing Trust Fund with a $10 million
recurring appropriation. The General Assembly appropriated $1,527,996 as partial matching
funds for the federal HOME Program in 2010. The NC General Assembly appropriated $10.9
million in nonrecurring funds to the state’s Housing Trust Fund for the development of rental
housing in fiscal year 2007, and $7.5 million in nonrecurring funds for fiscal year 2008. An
additional $4.8 million in nonrecurring funds was appropriated to the state’s Housing Trust in
2009. This funding will result in over 1,100 units of housing for persons with disabilities
affordable to those on Supplemental Security Income. No additional Housing 400 funds were
appropriated in 2010.
 One of the Agency’s legislative initiatives has been to continue with the implementation of the
Home Protection Program, a program initiated by the General Assembly. This has been replaced
by the Mortgage Protection Program, part of the NC Foreclosure Prevention Fund.
Status: The Home Protection Program will be part of the larger foreclosure prevention initiative
that began in 2010.
NCHFA was awarded approximately $482 million from the federal government to administer the federal
Hardest Hit program. The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency will use the Hardest Hit Program
funds to help North Carolinians who have suffered job loss or other financial hardships to save their
homes from foreclosure, similar to the Home Protection Program. Many of the same local counseling
agencies that have delivered Home Protection loans will help deliver the new program. Home Protection
Program loans will continue to be available statewide while the Hardest Hit programs are being phased in,
between October 2010 and September 2011.
Most of the new funds will be used to make mortgage payments for unemployed workers while they seek
jobs or complete job training in a new field. Others who, through no fault of their own, have gotten
behind on their mortgage payments will be eligible for assistance while they get back on their feet.
Efforts to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazards
Community Investment and Assistance
 CI will continue to encourage local units of government to be involved with lead-based paint
removal programs. Furthermore, CI will encourage local governments to work with agencies that
are established primarily to mitigate lead-based paint conditions and provide for its removal, as
well as address other environmental concerns.
Status: CI provided technical assistance for lead-based paint hazards throughout the year
through one-on-one technical assistance.
33
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
 All HOME-funded programs will continue to be in compliance with U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development lead regulations (25 CFR Part 35).
Status: The Agency continued to comply with the lead regulations set forth by 25 CFR Part 35.
 The Agency will continue to participate in a quarterly, ad hoc lead hazards advisory group made
up of concerned individuals from the public health, environmental protection, affordable housing,
and occupational safety sectors.
Status: Agency staff members continue to attend these quarterly meetings.
 Using Housing Trust Fund funding set-aside through the ―Displacement Prevention Partnership
Program‖, the Agency will offer funding for lead referrals whose situation may be more
appropriately handled through Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR’s)
Preventative Maintenance Program. Funds are provided as grants to the homeowners to pay for
cleanup and stabilization activities as prescribed by DENR’s regional lead specialists.
―Households with a child under the age of six whose health is threatened by the presence of lead
hazards‖ are also an eligible special needs category for SFR. No longer do children need to be
lead poisoned or have any lead in their blood. We also will use our SFR Pool Members to
respond to lead referrals.
Status: Funds continue to be available for lead referrals. Over 350 homes were served through
DPP in 2010
AIDS Care Unit
Project Sponsors are required to document that all clients receiving housing assistance are made aware of
the danger of lead base paint.
Project Sponsors distribute a lead based paint fact sheet to clients receiving HOPWA services.
Leveraging Resources
Community Investment and Assistance
The North Carolina Department of Commerce leverages CDBG dollars with private and public resources.
The leverage resources are in the following program areas:
 Economic Development: Leverage is provided in the form of both private and public funds
for economic development projects.
 Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance: SBEA allows local governments to assist
local for-profit businesses that are willing to create or retain jobs. Although not mandatory,
SBEA project companies bring private resources to the project in order to meet program goals.
Projects awarded in 2010 using the 2009 allocation leveraged $1.91million.
 Infrastructure Program: In the Infrastructure Program, CI requires a five percent match from
local governments.
 Housing Development Program: HD projects bring in non-CDBG resources from major
financial institutions in exchange for receiving the Low-Income Housing Tax Credits.
Additionally, the developers bring in private equity and other private and public resources.
34
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
NCHFA fosters the production of decent affordable housing by providing HOME funds for helping
acquire and/or construct multifamily and single family projects. NCHFA leverages HOME dollars with
private, public and non-profit resources that are spread over multiple projects statewide. NCHFA works
to leverage resources through coordinating existing programs such as the Low-income housing tax credit
program and Down payment assistance program, among others.
Low income housing tax credits: Major financial institutions, such as banks, insurance companies and
government-sponsored enterprises make equity investments in exchange for receiving the tax credits.
Equity from the sale of tax credits reduces the amount of debt financing that the property owner incurs.
The owners are eligible to take a tax credit equal to approximately 9% of the ―Qualified Cost‖ of building
or rehabilitating the property (excluding land and certain other expenses).
Down payment assistance: NCHFA also helps put first-time homebuyers in homes by providing down
payment assistance to homebuyers who meet a certain set of income and credit qualifications. Home
buyers who need help with down payment and closing cost may qualify for interest-free, deferred second
mortgages up to $8,000. They may also qualify for larger second mortgage through the Agency’s three
loan pool programs, thus leveraging nonprofit, Habitat, or private lender financing.
Other Supporting Activities
Limited English Proficiency
Community Investment and Assistance
The purpose of this Policy and Plan is to ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
and other applicable federal and state laws and their implementing regulations with respect to persons
with limited English proficiency (LEP). Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination
based on the ground of race, color or national origin by any entity receiving federal financial assistance.
Administrative methods or procedures, which have the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination
or defeating the objectives of these regulations, are prohibited.
In order to avoid discrimination on the grounds of national origin, all programs or activities administered
by the local unit of government must take adequate steps to ensure that their policies and procedures do
not deny or have the effect of denying LEP individuals with equal access to benefits and services for
which such persons qualify. This Policy defines the responsibilities the agency has to ensure LEP
individuals can communicate effectively.
These requirements will apply to the agency including subcontractors, vendors, and sub-recipients.
The agency will ensure that LEP individuals are provided meaningful access to benefits and services
provided through contractors or service providers receiving sub-grants from the agency.
A. Limited English Proficient (LEP) individual – Any prospective, potential, or actual recipient of
benefits or services from the agency who cannot speak, read, write or understand the English
language at a level that permits them to interact effectively with health care providers and
social service agencies.
The Division’s goal for Title VI regulatory enforcement is to achieve voluntary compliance. The
requirement to provide meaningful access to LEP persons is enforced and implemented by DOC through
35
the procedures identified in the Title VI regulations. These procedures include complaint investigations,
compliance reviews, efforts to secure voluntary compliance, and technical assistance.
CI approved 98 Language Access Plans for FY 2010, and local governments have successfully provided
the information to comply with Title VI.
North Carolina Housing Finance Agency
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000(d) and Executive Order 13166 require that
recipients of federal funds take responsible steps to ensure meaningful access by persons with limited
English proficiency (LEP persons). The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency (NCHFA) is a recipient
of federal funds for a portion of its programs and thus obligated to reduce language barriers that can
preclude meaningful access by LEP persons to NCHFA’s programs.
NCHFA’s four factor analysis revealed a significant Spanish speaking population. In response to this,
NCHFA has had a Spanish version of its website available since 2007 and has vital documents available
in Spanish as well as program brochures and materials. I n addition, NCHFA has staff members whom are
bilingual in English and Spanish who can translate if needed. Furthermore, upon request, NCHFA will
provide oral interpretation and/or written translation in other languages. Because virtually all assistance
is provided by NCHFA’s partners, all applicants/sub-grantees will be required to comply with Title VI
and its accompanying regulations. All organizations receiving federal funds will provide their Language
Access Plans to NCHFA, which will involve each organization conducting a four factor analysis. NCHFA
will review each plan for compliance. NCHFA will assist agencies in finding appropriate translation
resources and disseminate translated HUD notices, brochures, and other documents.
NCHFA has implemented its Agency Language Assistance Plan (LAP) and shall monitor the
implementation of its LAP, making revisions to policies and procedures as may be required periodically.
Section 3
Community Investment and Assistance
Based on the Section 3 reporting and compliance determinations which indicates minimum numerical

2010 CDBG Performance Report
In 2010, North Carolina received approximately $49 million in CDBG funds. Of this amount,
$47,374,158 was made available for five programs described below. Community Investment and
Assistance (CI) amended the 2010 Annual Action Plan to redirect programs to focus on stimulating the
economy through job creation and retention. The state made these funds available through grants to non-entitlement
governments statewide.
NC CDBG Economic Recovery (NC CDBG ER) grants were made to the highest ranking communities
among those applications that were submitted in June 2009 in a competitive process but not funded as a
part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for CDBG funding. CI chose NC CDBG
ER projects from a pool of applicants requesting funds from one of three categories. The categories
include: Infrastructure, Housing, and Special Projects. Each project was required to meet a national
objective and identify the creation and/or retention of jobs for the project. Infrastructure and public
facility projects were expected to have a minimum 70 percent low and moderate-income benefit plus jobs.
Housing projects were required to have a 100 percent low and moderate-income benefit plus jobs to every
activity including housing. In addition, projects that address high unemployment areas of the state and
are ―bid-ready‖ will received highest priority for funding.
Accomplishments: Twenty six (26) Economic Recovery grants were recommended for award in the
2010 program year. Of the recommended projects 18 were housing; 4 public facilities including parks
and neighborhood/senior centers; and 4 water and sewer infrastructure projects. Performance outcomes
will appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: The awards made in February 2010 totaled $14,037,004.
Scattered Site Housing (SSH) grants are made to local county governments on a rotating basis to address
housing needs of very low income families throughout the county. County governments can receive
$400,000 every 3 years with funds targeted to very low-income homeowners for rehabilitation or
replacement purposes. Counties submit a detailed plan that includes all interested municipalities within
the county describing how funds will be distributed to meet housing needs. Scattered Site Housing
applicants may request that up to ten percent of funds be set aside for local option to undertake emergency
repairs or repair/replace on-site well and/or septic systems. Those counties that accomplish their goals and
exhaust funds within two years are eligible to receive up to an additional $100,000 to continue activities
allowed in the SSH category subject to funding availability. Selection criteria for Scattered Site Housing
awards include: community need, community impact, project design, financial feasibility, distribution
plan, and participation process.
Accomplishments: Thirty-two (32) Scattered Site Housing (SSH) projects were submitted to CI in 2010
for distribution to communities in North Carolina, providing LMI households with safe, decent, sanitary
housing either through rehabilitation or relocation. In addition, dilapidated homes were either cleared or
improved through code enforcement measures, removing slum and blight from those neighborhoods. The
total requests for CDBG funds were $12.6 million.
Awards: To date, twenty one (21) SSH grants have been awarded from the 2010 program allocation. The
awards were made in February 2010 using $8,200,000. Performance outcomes will appear in the 2011
CAPER.
Economic Development (ED): This category will continue the policy of providing higher levels of
funding to the most economically distressed areas of the state. The following considerations will be
included for job creation and retention projects during the 2010 program year: 60% of the jobs created or
40
retained in a project must benefit persons qualifying as prior low and moderate income (LMI). Funding
for Economic Development projects is based on the number of jobs to be created or retained and the level
of distress in the community applying for the funds. Areas with higher distress rankings, based on the
North Carolina Tier rating system, are eligible for more funds per job created. Additional CDBG funding
per job is available for projects proposed to be located in a current 21st Century Communities as
designated by the Secretary of Commerce.
CDBG funds are granted to local governments for various types of infrastructure improvements to assist
business expansion or retention. A local funding match of at least one dollar for every three CDBG
dollars is required except for the 25 most distressed counties as ranked for the Article 3J Tax Credits
legislation and current 21st Century Counties. In a secondary priority to infrastructure projects and at the
discretion of the Secretary of Commerce, direct financial assistance to private companies is available as
loans to be negotiated by the local government applicant and a participating North Carolina commercial
bank at a level not to exceed 50% of the bank loan. Repayment of the loan by the private company
becomes program income to the State and is deposited into a CDBG economic development revolving
loan fund (RLF). Funding from the RLF is available only as loans.
Loans for industrial shell buildings are available from the RLF based on the projected number of jobs to
be created and the level of distress in the community. These loans will be at a 2% interest rate with a
maximum term of 5 years. Principle payments are deferred for the first two years of the loan. A dollar
for dollar match is required by the local government applicant for an industrial shell building. Also, up
to $500,000 will be set aside in the RLF for counties in Tiers 1-3 as loans to assist with the costs
associated with certifying industrial sites. These grants are repaid after the certified site is sold or within
five years of award.
Funds are granted to local governments that propose a project in conjunction with a private for profit
business that proposes to restore a vacant building to economic use resulting in the creation or retention of
permanent, full-time jobs by the project company. To be eligible, documentation must be provided
showing the building has been vacant thirty (30) consecutive days or more. CDBG funds for this
category are limited to a maximum of $750,000 per unit of government per program year. The grant
amount is calculated based on $20,000 per job for 3J Tax Credit eligible businesses and $12,000 per job
for businesses not eligible for tax credits. CDBG funds provided to the company by the local unit of
government will be in the form of a forgiven loan. The loan has a term of five years with no principal or
interest payments. If the project company retains the jobs pledged in the loan agreement for the five year
term, the entire amount is forgiven.
Certain threshold requirements apply, including: $1.25 million cap for the yearly funding cycle,
expenditure levels of open grants, and proper closeout of previous grants.
Accomplishments: ED awards for grants and loans were made in 2010 by Commerce Finance Center.
The awards were made to local governments who, working with private companies, will create or retain
jobs for low-to-moderate income residents in their communities. The awards are expected to create or
retain 1,285 jobs. Of this number, 818 are expected to be LMI. Performance outcomes will appear in the
2011 CAPER.
Awards: ED awards used $11,770,360 of the 2010 program allocation.
Housing Development (HD) grants administered by CI will focus on the creation of multi-unit rental
developments and provide support for homeownership activities for low and moderate-income families.
Local governments in Tier 1, municipalities that have UP or AG zones, and 21st Century communities
41
will receive preference for HD funds. The HD allocation will be divided into two funding pools:
Homeownership and Rental Housing.
Threshold Requirements: In order to be rated for funding, each applicant must meet certain minimum
requirements: demonstration of adequate capacity; have not applied for or received more than $1,250,000
cap; create 51% of all units for households below the area median income and maintain for 20 years;
document other sources of funding; work with CBDO and complete an appraisal for projects with CDBG
funded land acquisition.
Selection Criteria: Applicants will be rated according to the following criteria:
Project Design �� 85%; and Benefit to LMI Persons – 15%. In the event there are not enough funds to
make an award to all applicants, the following will also be considered: cost effectiveness; sound growth
principles; location of project; capacity; and project furthers Consolidated Plan priorities.
For Tax Credits, the threshold requirements and selection criteria are the same. Only projects that are
receiving tax credits for multi-unit rental developments through the NCHFA can receive these funds.
 Multi-unit Development: Funds will be provided for rental developments. Eligible uses of
CDBG funds include installation of public infrastructure (water and sewer lines are automatically
eligible for funding; streets, sidewalks and drainage may be funded on a case by case basis), the
removal of hazardous material, acquisition of vacant land (by an eligible non-profit) or vacant
historic buildings (by an eligible non-profit or for-profit developer), and certain rehabilitation
activities (on a case-by-case basis). The maximum grant is $250,000 with a $6,000 per unit
maximum.
Accomplishments: Four (4) awards were made under the HD Tax Credit program in 2010.
Performance outcomes will appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: Four (4) awards were made using $1 million of the 2010 program allocation.
 Single-family Housing: Funds will be available for assisting single-family housing developments
up to $250,000. Eligible uses of CDBG funds include installation of public infrastructure (water,
sewer, streets, sidewalks and drainage), the removal of hazardous material, and vacant land
acquisition by an eligible non-profit or housing counseling. There is an $18,000 per unit
assistance maximum for single-family projects.
Accomplishments: CI opened the second round of HD in January 2010. Performance outcomes
will appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: To date, no awards have been made using the 2010 program allocation.
Individual Development Account (IDA): These funds provide match for down payment assistance or
closing costs to qualified first-time low and moderate-income homebuyers. The maximum funding is
$70,000 per project and the program is non-competitive. IDAs are funded in 2010 by a $200,000 set
aside from the HD line item and from de-obligated HD funds from previous years.
IDA grants are available only for first-time homeownership. The grant cycle is on a first-come, first-serve
basis. The application requires community-based partnerships with established track records and
trusting relationships in serving disadvantaged constituencies. The following services must be provided
to participants: credit reporting and counseling, financial literacy, homeownership education, and housing
42
counseling. Review criteria includes: organizational capacity, goals and objectives, and project
feasibility/readiness.
Accomplishments: CI opened the second round of HD in January 2010. Performance outcomes will
appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: To date, no awards have been made using the 2010 program allocation.
Small Business and Entrepreneurship (SBEA) funding assists local governments to jumpstart growth of
existing small businesses, thus creating new jobs or retaining existing jobs (Note: Job retention is very
narrowly defined by HUD and job retention projects must meet HUD’s criteria). This assistance must
lead to the creation or retention of jobs primarily benefiting low- and moderate-income (LMI) persons.
The proposed project must also include a plan for creating an entrepreneurial environment in the
community, one that would support and sustain continued economic development and job creation even
after funding for this program has been expended.
The SBEA program was designed to benefit LMI persons through job creation or retention. Funding
eligibility is contingent upon the creation or retention of permanent, full-time jobs, at least 70% of which
must be made available to persons earning 80 percent or less of the median income for the area within the
previous 12 months. (For purposes of the CDBG program, LMI family income eligibility is determined
from data published annually for the HUD Section 8 housing program.) To review the FY 2010 Income
Limits for North Carolina, visit http://www.huduser.org/datasets/il.html.
Accomplishments: CI received five (5) applications for SBEA in December 2010 for the 2010 CDBG
program allocation. Performance outcomes will appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: To date, no awards have been made using the 2010 program allocation. The total SBEA
requests for CDBG funds are $1,145,000 for the $1 million set-aside for this program.
Contingency Grants may fund eligible projects to meet community development needs that 1) were not
funded under a program category, or 2) for activities identified as high priority or special projects, subject
to fund availability.
Accomplishments: CI received sixteen (16) letters of interest and/or applications for Contingency in
2010. Most of the requests are for water and sewer infrastructure activities. Performance outcomes will
appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: To date, one of the 16 had been awarded using the 2010 program allocation. The total award
was $553,500 of CDBG funds to develop Pembroke Our House Perinatal Facility.
2009 and Additional Funding Impacting 2010 Program Performance
In addition to the programs included in the 2010 CDBG amendment, other funds were available as a
result of additional HUD allocations, recapture, reversion, or carry-over of prior year funds and program
income. In 2010 through these sources, North Carolina used CDBG funds for the following five
programs described below.
43
Community Revitalization: The Community Revitalization category provides grants to local
governments to strengthen neighborhoods and rehabilitate homes of low- to moderate-income citizens.
Awards are made on a competitive basis. Funds may be used for housing activities (rehabilitation,
relocation, acquisition, clearance, and disposition), water and/or sewer installation or replacement,
construction or upgrading of streets and drainage improvements.
Accomplishments: CI funded 18 grants under the Community Revitalization (CR) category. The CR
funds are distributed to communities in North Carolina, providing households with safe, decent, and
sanitary housing, primarily through rehabilitation or relocation. New water or sewer lines were placed to
connect these households to safe, clean drinking water and/or provide access to new public sanitary sewer
lines. In addition, dilapidated houses were cleared removing slum and blighting conditions from those
neighborhoods. Due to the late year awards, results will be reported in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: The 18 CI awards were made in September 2010. The total awards using 2009 CDBG funds
were $15,739, 105.
Infrastructure (IF) and Infrastructure Hook-ups (IFHU): The Infrastructure grant category enables
local governments to provide new infrastructure (public water and/or public sewer) to existing residential
neighborhoods to correct problems that pose a severe health or environmental risk or to improve existing
infrastructure in existing residential neighborhoods. A sub-category, Infrastructure Hook-Up, connects
LMI households that would otherwise be unable to afford the connection to existing water and/or sewer
lines (not installed using CDBG funds).
Accomplishments: Infrastructure funds were distributed to communities in North Carolina. Projects in
this category installed more than 250,000 linear feet of new water and sanitary sewer lines. The
Infrastructure Hook-Up program provided hook-ups for approximately 1,000 LMI households.
Awards: In 2010, eleven (11) Infrastructure grants were made to local governments using $4,709,886 of
the 2009 CDBG allocation and de-obligated funds from previous years. Eighteen (18) infrastructure
hook-up grants were awarded using $1,190,130 in 2009 CDBG program allocation and previous year
recaptured funds.
Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance (SBEA): This was described in the previous section.
Accomplishments: CI awarded five (5) applications for SBEA for the 2009 CDBG program allocation.
Four were awarded in January 2010 and one late award in November 2010. Performance outcomes will
appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Awards: CI awarded $1,145,000 using the 2010 program allocation and made the late award using
recaptured funds.
Capacity Building (CB): The Capacity Building Grant Category is designed to encourage local
governments to partner with an eligible local non-profit in developing future community development
projects. The local unit of government serves as the grant applicant while the non-profit organization is
the indirect recipient of funds. Ultimately, the capacity building grant is expected to result in a future
CDBG application.
Accomplishments: The Town of Columbia located in Tyrell County in conjunction with a local non-profit,
was awarded a Capacity Building grant in November 2010 using recaptured funds.
Awards: In 2010, CI awarded capacity building funds to 1 community.

Talent Enhancement Demonstration: The Talent Enhancement Demonstration grant (TEDG) is
administered by the Office of Rural Development and designed to enable participating local units of
government the opportunity to develop and build capacity in areas that will develop appropriate and
competitive CDBG grants, administer CDBG grants, grant writing, economic impact analysis, community
survey research and design, and feasibility study preparation. They will also be able to undertake an
activity or activities that they have previously been unable to carry out.
Accomplishments: There are seven participations in the TEDG program. The TEDG requires the local
units of government to submit a CDBG application within 24 months of receiving the TEDG grant. This
application must be in one of the CDBG eligible categories, feasible, realistic and have the foundation to
succeed. This program was recommended for permanent status in 2010.
Awards: The TED grants were awarded using 2009 CDBG funds and recaptured funds. The outcomes
will appear in the 2011 CAPER.
Program Measures
In 2010, much of the Community Development Block Grant program focused on two goals outlined in
the Commerce Department’s strategic plan: Building Stronger Communities and Creating Jobs through
Sustainable Economic Development. State resources were focused on stimulating development in rural
communities and some urban areas, which have not experienced positive growth. The following is an
assessment of strategic actions undertaken during the reporting period to address the state’s community
development priorities.
 The Community Investment and Assistance (CI) and its partner the Commerce Finance Center
(CFC) continued to create jobs through sustainable economic development targeted to low-to-moderate
income residents through a variety of programs.
 CI continued to address persistent poverty in rural communities and parts of urban areas of the
state by putting emphasis on Tier 1 and Tier 2 Communities, local governments with Urban
Progress and State Agrarian Zones, and the 21st Century Communities Initiative.
 CI continued high levels of funding in its core programs of Scattered Site Housing and
Community Revitalization, both of which greatly improve the physical living conditions of our
state’s poorest residents.
 CI focused on stimulating job creation and improving living conditions through the 2010 North
Carolina Economic Recovery Program.
 CI continued to advance the Governor’s Growth policies by incorporating sustainable
development principles and policies into criteria for CDBG funding for Housing Development
and other categories.
CDBG objectives and outcomes are specific to each program category. The category with its
corresponding objective and outcome are provided here. The objectives and corresponding outcomes
were all met for the CDBG categories awarded in 2010 and will be met for the categories allocated in
2010, but will be awarded in 2011.

Technical Assistance
In 2010, technical assistance priorities included: (1) increased technical assistance to local governments
and their agents that furthers the goals and priorities of the CDBG program, (2) technical assistance to
46
developing community development corporations, and (3) increased support for workshops, seminars, and
training for grantees and staff.
During the 2010 program year, division staff presented at various workshops, conferences and other
training opportunities in order to further reach out to community development professionals and provide
technical assistance as often as necessary. In addition to one-on-one consultation with local governments,
councils of government, and consultants, CI staff members provided technical assistance to a number of
non-profit and local government advocacy groups including the North Carolina Community Development
Association, the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Community Action Agencies, the North Carolina League of Municipalities, and the North Carolina
Housing Coalition.
CI continued its annual CDBG training academy in 2010, as part of the Community Development
Academy offered by the School of Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The
purpose of this academy is to train community development professionals in best practices and to make
them aware of all possible resources at their disposal as they attempt to better the living conditions and
economic opportunity of their residents. One aspect of this training is the instruction by CI staff on
proper administration and development of CDBG grant programs. The Community Development
Academy will continue to provide instruction and technical assistance in 2011.
CI held CDBG workshops throughout the year that were attended by approximately 100 participants. The
Division held full-day workshops for contractors and rehabilitation specialists during the year.
Informational conference calls were held for the NC Economic Recovery Program and Scattered Site
Housing. During the Community Development Academy, a joint effort between CI and the School of
Government at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a full-day is devoted to the CDBG
program.

Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 1701u, mandates that the Department ensures that
employment and other economic opportunities generated by its housing and community development assistance programs are directed
toward low- and very-low income persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance housing. The regulations are
found at 24 CFR Part 135. The information will be used by the Department to monitor program recipients’ compliance with Section 3, to
assess the results of the Department’s efforts to meet the statutory objectives of Section 3, to prepare reports to Congress, and by
recipients as self-monitoring tool. The data is entered into a database and will be analyzed and distributed. The collection of information
involves recipients receiving Federal financial assistance for housing and community development programs covered by Section 3. The
information will be collected annually to assist HUD in meeting its reporting requirements under Section 808(e)(6) of the Fair Housing Act
and Section 916 of the HCDA of 1992. An assurance of confidentiality is not applicable to this form. The Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB
Circular A-108 are not applicable. The reporting requirements do not contain sensitive questions. Data is cumulative; personal identifying
information is not included.
