Overview: This report provides an update to the Council on the status of the Trinity Court public housing neighborhood as part of the Public Housing Master Plan <https://chapelhill.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3911978&GUID=A6526DB3-AD89-41FA-BF15-A5C5D67C3931> presented to Council in April 2019.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council review the materials outlining the challenges and opportunities associated with the Trinity Court Apartments and provide feedback to the staff. 

 

Key Issues:

                     The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Department does not provide operating subsidies for units that have been vacant for longer than 24 months.

                     Trinity Court Apartments have been vacant since March 2018 (26 months).

                     The Town of Chapel Hill must consider several options to make the best decision for the Trinity Court Apartments.

 

Fiscal Impact/Resources: There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this item. The attached staff report estimates the cost associated with our preliminary options for consideration by the Council.
