Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to adopt a Resolution Declaring Property Surplus and Authorizing the Conveyance of Property to Chatham Habitat for Humanity.
Introduction & Background: The Chatham County Board of Commissioners has identified affordable housing as a high priority. As a result, staff has utilized the land conveyance process for affordable housing to convey two surplus parcels of foreclosed properties, being identified in Chatham County tax records as Parcel Numbers 9426 (Goldston) and 61479 (Siler City), for the purpose of constructing affordable housing. The land conveyance process is in accord with G.S. 153A-378, which authorizes counties to convey real properties by private sale to entities that provide affordable housing to low or moderate income persons.
Discussion & Analysis:

Strategy 2.3 Evaluate County-owned properties to determine whether any such properties are suitable to transfer to an appropriate entity to utilize for affordable housing.
Budgetary Impact: None
Recommendation: Motion to adopt Resolution Declaring Property Surplus and Authorizing the Conveyance of Property to Chatham Habitat for Humanity.
