Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Implementation of the Orange County Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness |

date: |
January 28, 2008 |
The purpose of this report is to review with the Council a Memorandum of Understanding for implementation of the Orange County Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness (see Attachment 1).
On January 24, 2005, the Council adopted a resolution to support the establishment of the Partnership to End Homelessness in Orange County. The Partnership was developed to design and implement a plan to end chronic homelessness in Orange County.
On May 7, 2007, the Council adopted a resolution that endorsed the Orange County Ten-Year Plan to End Chronic Homelessness in Orange County. The resolution also appointed Council Member Sally Greene to serve as the Council’s representative to the Executive Team that would be responsible for oversight of the implementation of the Plan. Council Member Greene serves as the Chair of this Committee.
The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding is to clarify the role and responsibilities of each entity as it relates to the funding and oversight of the Project Coordinator position.
The Executive Team’s first task is to hire a Project Coordinator who would be responsible for carrying out the day to day activities of the Plan. As stated in the Ten-Year Plan, the Coordinator’s office would be housed within the Orange County Government and would be an employee of Orange County. The County Manager or the Manager’s designee would be responsible for providing ongoing indirect supervision of the Coordinator. The Town’s 2007-2008 budget includes $24,600 for this position.
If the Council authorizes the Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding, the Town would agree to:
We recommend that the Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding between Orange County, NC and the Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough, and the Executive Team for the implementation of the Ten-Year Plan.
