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.
