AP-85 Other Actions - 91.420, 91.220(k) Introduction Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs Lack of funding for housing and supportive services is the greatest obstacle to addressing the unmet need of non-homeless special needs populations. Neighborhood resistance to creating housing for certain special needs populations is a significant obstacle. Mecklenburg County will actively seek out public/private partnerships in an effort to close the funding gaps for affordable housing. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Over the next year, Mecklenburg County will focus affordable housing resources on the following objectives for non-homeless priority needs individuals and families. Meclenburg County will provide CDBG funds to local non-profits to preserve existing housing stock for extremetly low and very low income homeowners in the program area. The targeted one-year outcome is to provide housing repairs to ensure safe and decent housing for approximately 20 households. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards Mecklenburg County will continue to implement the City of Charlotte’s LeadSafe Charlotte Program. The County will further integrate lead safe work practices to all County rehabilitation programs, by providing information on training offered by the City of Charlotte for all contractors on the Housing bidder's lists regarding lead safe work practices and encourage Code Enforcement Officials to make referrals to LeadSafe Charlotte and enforce code requirements regarding the elimination of deteriorated paint. LeadSafe Charlotte will also focus on increasing collaboration with the Mecklenburg County Health Department to do outreach and testing of children in vulnerable neighborhoods, including an increasing number of Hispanic/Latino children.

In addition, the County will continue to: 1) promote the Lead Hazard Reduction Coalition, established by the City’s LeadSafe Charlotte Program that brings various community leaders and interest groups together to pool resources and ideas; 2) further integrate lead-safe work practices in all County rehabilitation programs and provide lead remediation training to all contractors on the County’s Housing Bidder’s list; and 3) continue to encourage Code Enforcement officials to make referrals to LeadSafe Charlotte and enforce code requirements relating to the elimination of deteriorated paint.
