VILLAGE CLERK / VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT, ILLINOIS CONSOLIDATED PLAN 1996 For the plznnlnoo period of Salluary 1, 1996 thru December 31, 1996 and includes the Village of Mount Prospect Commlmi~y Development Block Grant Fiscal Year 1996 application Prepared By: Michael Sim,% PJznn~r Community Development Department Village of Mount Prospect Tel: (708) 392-6000 Ext. $313 Strategy Implementation: As noted in HUD's Consolidated Plan instruction manual, the purpose of this section is to present priorities for the investment of private and public funds in housing and services based on the needs identified in the Community Profile. The public funds will be received under the National Affordable Housing Act. 'These priorities are designed to compliment the Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Mount Prospect, assist residents in finding decent and affordable homing in ail' residential areas of the Village, address the needs of special populations in the commuulty and carry out the purposes and meet the goals of the Act. The Village's priority analysis a~d development strategy calls for all resources to be available village-wide and among all eligible residents within the Village. A priority Should be made for serving low and very low income elderly and large families as well as special populations of the homeless or near homeless. Mount Prospect has identified priority needs it will address in the next year based on the data and needs documented in the Community Profile section of this document. These are: assisted senior citizen rental housing, special housing needs of the elderly, housing for first time home buyers and employees workin.g in Monnt Prospect, assisted rental housing and housing for the mentally ill and developmentally disabled. The strategy for the implementation of each follows. Assisted Senior Citizen Rental Housing with Rental Assistance. Senior Housin~ Rehabilitation Assistance and SubsldiTed Rental Assista~e~ This priority was noted after a review of housing needs shown in the Three Year HAP of 1988, Five Year CHAS of 1991, CHAS public hearing testimony and reports and the 1990 Census. The Census ,reported a considerable increase in the elderly population over the age of 60 in Mount Prospect, from 11.38% of the population in 1980 to 17.64% in 1990 and that 675 elderly renters in 1990 bad incomes below 30% of median income. Priority 1: To provide new construction housing for elderly low income residents. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low- income (51% to 80% of MFI) - Elderly. One Year Results: Identify site for 75 units of new Section 202 or similar program units with a Section 8 Set a Side or promote other housing suitable for senior citizen use. Institutional CapacitY: Village staff asked Catholic Charities to submit an application for a Section 202 subsidized' senior housing development in the Village of Mount Prospect for elderly Mount Prospect eligible residents in 1992. The application was approved by HUD and a Section 202 fund reservation made for the project. Catholic Charities was unable to use the fund reservation in Mount Prospect as a result of their losing their option on. the selected site. Mount Prospect is still interested in supporting a Section 202 application but has not identified a satisfactory site for the development. Village C.D.B.G. funds may be used to assist in this project. Service agencies and organizations will be utilized in providing needed services to residents. If a Section 202 project is found not practical for available senior site opportunities, other funding scenarios may be utilized. ]~iOYJlY..~: To address the special needs of elderly Iow income and very low income residents in various housing settings. Very low- income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - Elderly. One Year Results: 5 units of newly created shared senior housing. 5 units of rehabilitated senior and other homes. 3 units of Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payment. Institutional Capacity: The Resource Center for the Elderly operates a shared housing program and the recently formed Resources for Community Living personnel are operating a shared housing program for the mentally ill and disabled. Village staff will work with these agencies in promoting these housing activities. Mount Prospect's C.D.B.G. program has offered housing rehabilitation loans and subsidies for the past 13 years and will continue to offer these to very low and low income resident, including elderly homeowners. The Housing Authority of Cook County will continue to administer the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program in the Village. If additional vouchers certificates become available, the Village expects eligible Mount Prospect senior residents to apply for them. First Time Low Income Homebuyers Assistance: As was noted in the Community Profile section, it is becoming increasing difficult for low income residents to buy and live in owner occupied housing in Mount Prospect. The Village of Mount Prospect believes that workers whose jobs are in the Village should be able to find affordable housing in Mount Prospect. priority 3: To provide housing opportunities for first time low income home buyers. Examples of the housing problem can be found in the Community Profile section. Low-income (51% to 80 % of MFI) All renting households. One Year Results: Assist 5 households in becoming first time homebuyers. Institutional Capacity: Funding would come from the Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME). In 1996, Mount Prospect will discuss with neighboring communities their interest in organizing together a fa, st time homebuyers program and organize needed resoumes in the community. Funding availability is critical to achieving this priority. C.D.B.G. funds may be used to bring project homes up to Housing Quality Standards (I--IQS) and Village Code. Local banks have become involved in the general affordability issue and may be asked to participate. The Village has been successful in providing a Mortgage Credit Certificate activity to new first time homebuyers. This program is administered by the Illinois Housing Development Authority and offers a federal tax credit incentive. Rental Assistance for Very. Low Income and Low Income Residents: High market rate rents in Mount Prospect and the northwest suburbs often renders rental housing for very low income and low income residents unaffordable. One way to bridge the affordability gap is through the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. While the program is independently administered by the Housing Authority of Cook County, the Village of Mount Prospect must take an active role in monitoring the impact of the Section 8 Program on the community. This monitoring should take the form of (1) educating property owners and managers about the rights and obligations of landlord and tenants under the program and (2) working with the Housing Authority of Cook County to insure that over concentrations of low income households do not occur in either neighborhoods or geographic areas of the Village. Another potential soume of rental assistance payments is the Federal HOME Program. Priority 4: To promote the responsible use of f'mancial rental assistance programs throughout the Village for Mount Prospect residents. Very Iow-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI') - All renting households. One Year Results: Work closely with the Housigg Authority of Cook County in the management of tenant based voucher and certificate programs for low income and very low income Mount Prospect renters. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect has contact with and knowledge of all rental properties in its corporate boundaries through the licensing requirements of the Landlord / Tenant Ordinance. Staff will contact rental property owner's or managers and inform them of the rules and regulations governing participation in the Section 8 Existing Housing Assistance Payments Program. C.D.B.G. funds may be used in conjection with private funds to help rehabilitate selected rental units. Housing for the Mentally III/Homeless or near Homelsss: The local National Alliance for the Mentally Ill organization has indicated a need for group homes over the next couple of years and is pursuing several funding sources to finance these homes. The Village Board recently approved a Little City group home. Additional support may be needed to rehabilitate the selected properties for appropriate use by the occupants. Special services will need to be provided. Similar needs have been identified for the developmentally disabled. The nced for this housing and associated services was discussed in the Community Profile section of last year's Five Year Consolidated Plan. Area agencies serving the homeless and near homeless are reporting an increased number of persons needing transitional housing and services. Priority 5:To provide financial assistance in the purchase or rehabilitation of housing for the mentally ill and/or the developmentally disabled. Very low-income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI)-All mentally ill. One Year Results: Assist the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or similar organizations upon request with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a residential home for use as a comlBnni~ residence for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled.. Institutional Capacity: Mount Prospect intends to assist the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill or other qualified organization with the purchase and/or rehabilitation of a home in Mount Prospect to be used as a supervised community residence for the mentally fll or developmentally disabled. Funding for the project may be from Mount Prospect's C.D.B.G. funds, the State of Illinois Mental Health Department, corporate donations, HUD's Section 811 program or other appropriate sources. Priority 6:To assist qualified agencies in providing transitional housing to residents with an emphasis on providing self-sufficiency skills in a case mana~ment or other appropriate management style. Very low- income (0% to 50% of MFI) and low-income (51% to 80% of MFI) - All homeless residents. One Year Results: Assist qualified agencies in applying for financing and obtaining other assistance in operating and/or opening transitional housing units in Mount Prospect. Such assistance could include a grant from the C.D.B.G. program. Institutional Capacity: CEDA-Northwest, WINGS and other agencies have experience in successfully operating transitional housing activities. FEMA-Emergency Shelter Grants and other funds may also be utilized by such agencies and should be supported by the Village. It should be noted that the above indicated priorities will have a posRive effect in meeting housing affordability needs in Mount Prospect, and some may have a positive effect on the needs of the homeless and near homeless. Other Actions: Public Policies: The high cost of Mount Prospect's housing is primarily due to it's location in the Greater Chicago Area, close proximity to major highway systems and O'Hare International Airport, and the availability of the Chicago Northwestern Commuter Rail System that links Mount Prospect to the Chicago Loop. Staff has reviewed Village development requirements and believes, on a whole, they. do not pose major impediments to achieving affordable housing. Even so, Mount Prospect is actively involved in finding ways to address the housing affordability issue. For example, the Village's Zoning Ordinance has been amended to permit households of up to 8 persons with developmental disabilities, and paid staff, to occupy a single dwelling unit. Mount Prospect has also recently updated its Zoning and Development Codes. The Zoning Ordinance, as amended, created, among other things, a new Downtown zoning district which permits mixed uses· This change should create new affordable housing units in an area that has a low concentration of low income households· There are no pending tax or fee increases anticipated by the Village. Development Code fees were increased this past year for the first time since 1984. Public Housing Resident's Pro_iect Involvement: The two senior citizen housing projects in Mount Prospect, Centennial Apartments and Huntington Towers Aparmaents, represent the only federally assisted housing here. Both are privately owned well managed and the Village sees no benefit to the residents in their becoming involved in their own management or in a homeownership program. There are no public housing projects in Mount Prospect. · ' : Mount Prospect will apply for and admirdster activities funded under a federal CDBG Entitlement Program. It will also work with adjoining communities in creating a first-time homebuyers program. Funding for the first time homebuyers program may be sought from local lending institutions, unobligated industrial bonding, and either the State of Illinois or Cook County's HOME Program. Please refer to the institutional structure narrativ~ included in each priority noted above· They explain how each activity will be carried out as well as problems that may be encountered. Public Housing Improvements / Public Housing Resident Initiatives: Mount Prospect has no public housing units and thus will not have any public housing improvement programs or public housing resident initiatives. Lead Based Paint Hazard Reductions: During the coming year, staff will continue to require all loose paint, under the Village's housing rehabilitation loan programs, be removed and either covered or repainted. We will also provide public information and education on the problem with lead based paint and the measures to be taken to reduce risk and protect health. MONITORING PLAN Mount Prospect will perform semi-annual reviews of all Mount Prospect C.D.B.G. sub- recipients. These will include collecting data on the number of residents receiving services and a visit to their particular programs. A written report will be filed noting the results of the review. Staff will also request annual reports from the Housing Authority of Cook County on their progress in providing Section 8 and other assistance in Mount Prospect. Staff may assist the PHA in encouraging Mount Prospect residents in applying for the Section 8 program. A report from the Village will also be prepared on the progress of it's Section 202, HOME or other National Affordable Housing Act activities.
