Title

Prior Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding Applications

 

Staff Summary

•                     The enclosed Notice of Available Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Project Funding was released in July 2016.  In response, 17 applications were submitted with requests totaling $2,351,896 for the available $435,538.78 in prior year funds.

•                     Unmet priorities from the prior years’ (2010-2014) Consolidated Plan primarily were permanent supportive housing and affordable housing in areas located in close proximity to public transit.  Six applications were received that meet these prior year priorities.

•                     To ensure that all applications are given equal attention, however, all 17 applications have been divided up between the three Advisory and Recommendation Committee (ARC) meetings on August 26, 2016.  At each August 26th ARC meeting, five or six applications assigned to that ARC will be given full consideration.  Applicants will be invited to each ARC meeting to answer questions and establish an informative dialog with Commission members.

 

Body

The applications that meet the stated funding preferences (priorities of the Lake County 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan from which these prior year funds originated) are:

1.                     Permanent Supportive Housing:

a.                     Community Action Partnership - Veteran Rental - $83,645 Request

b.                     Glenkirk - Group Home in Buffalo Grove or Mundelein - $150,000 Request

2.                     Housing-Related Projects located in areas with demonstrated need for affordable housing located in close proximity to public transit…and provide housing for larger families:

a.                     Community Partners for Affordable Housing - Highwood Rehab - $175,000 Request

b.                     Lake County Residential Development Corporation - Gurnee Rehab - $121,825 Request

c.                     One Hope United - Lake Villa Group Home Rehab - $35,000 Request

d.                     Pirhl AIM North - Mundelein New Construction - $425,000 Request

 

The other applications, while extremely worthwhile and attractive, meet neither of these two funding preferences and can be resubmitted in future CDBG application rounds.  The Affordable Housing ARC is meeting on September 7th to review in full the six “best fit” funding applications listed above.

At the Public Services ARC meeting on August 26, six applications will be discussed in full.  The following applicants will be invited to answer questions and establish an informative dialog with the Public Services ARC:

1.                     Glenkirk - Group Home

2.                     One Hope United - Facility Rehab

3.                     One Hope United - Group Home Rehab
