Executive Summary
AP -05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
Mount Prospect is classified as an entitlement community and receives an annual allocation of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding from the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). HUD requires each entitlement community to develop a Five -Year Consolidated
Plan with effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. The public
participation process establishes the priorities for the next five years with benchmarks to measure
accomplishments. The process is an opportunity to involve numerous agencies and to reduce the
duplication of efforts at the local level by assessing existing services.
In 2013, the Village Board approved a resolution authorizing the Village of Mount Prospect's
participation in Cook County's HOME Investment Partnerships Program Consortium ("the Consortium").
By joining the Consortium, the Village's allocation of HOME funds is combined with Cook County's
allocation and the Village submits applications to the county rather than the state for eligible projects in
the community. The advantages are twofold: the Village has a greater chance of being funded because it
is competing with a smaller group of communities for HOME funds and its annual allocation is used
locally (in Cook County versus statewide) if funds are not allocated for a Village project.
As a member of Cook County's HOME Consortium, the Village of Mount Prospect, along with the
Consortium members, submitted their 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan as a joint and coordinated
document. Although a member of the Consortium, the Village will continue to receive a direct allocation
of CDBG entitlement funds from HUD and strategies developed for the use of CDBG funding are specific
to the Village of Mount Prospect.
The Village's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan identified priorities through the public participation process.
Numerous agencies were involved to assess existing services and reduce the duplication of effort at the
local level. The Village developed goals to address the priorities:
• Facilitate Access to Public Services
• Improve Public Infrastructure
• Rehabilitate Public Facilities
• Rehabilitate Supportive Housing
• Improve Existing Housing Stock
• Support Homeless / Continuum of Care Services
• General Administration
Each year the Village drafts an Annual Action Plan (AAP) which proposes activities and programs to
address the priority needs and goals for the upcoming program year. The Program Year (PY) 2021 AAP
outlines the specific use of CDBG funds for the period October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
CDBG funds may only be used for eligible activities that address at least one of three national objectives:
1) benefit to low- and moderate -income (LMI) persons; 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slum or
blight; or 3) meet a need having a particular urgency. As a CDBG grantee, the Village must ensure that
Mount Prospect residents, specifically those qualifying as low- or moderate -income, are benefiting from
the grant.
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)

Funding sources for PY2021 consist of the annual entitlement grant, program income, and carry-over
funds. The Village's PY2021 allocation for the CDBG program will be $285,139. Program income is
generated from the repayment of loans issued by the Single Family Rehabilitation Loan program. With
estimated carry-over funds and program income, the total anticipated amount available for projects in
PY2021 is $507,770.
The Village will address these same goals through our participation in regional efforts, including the
Cook County Consortium for HOME funds. The Village of Mount Prospect also works to align the AAP
and Consolidated Plan with other long-range plans for the Village, including the Comprehensive Plan,
the South Mount Prospect Area Plan, and the Village Strategic Plan.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
The Village of Mount Prospect identified the following priority needs through the Consolidated Plan
needs assessment and public participation:
• Public Services
• Public Improvements
• Public Facilities
• Affordable Housing
• Homelessness / Continuum of Care Services
• Economic Development
• Administrative / Planning Costs
Mount Prospect's entitlement grant is limited; thus, not all programs will be financed with CDBG
funding. In the Consolidated Plan, the Village of Mount Prospect describes programs that do not receive
funding to ensure that the priorities of the community are met through a variety of resources. The
purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to ensure the efficient delivery and non -duplication of services.
The community needs are listed by HUD codes and categories. Priorities are assigned as follows:
• High - Currently funded (with CDBG funds)
• Low - Reliant upon outside support and resources
3. Evaluation of past performance
The Village of Mount Prospect has been a recipient of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds since 1981. Funds are used for activities that benefit our low- and moderate -income residents.
CDBG public service programs address high priority needs such as homeless prevention, continuum of
care, and supportive programs for persons with special needs. Housing is made more affordable through
our Single Family Rehabilitation Loan, Weatherization Grant, and Emergency Repair Programs. The
Village has funded rehabilitation of public facilities that serve low- and moderate income residents and
public improvements have been completed within our low- and moderate -income census blocks.
Each activity funded through the Village's CDBG program is tied to at least one goal in the Consolidated
Plan and is assigned an objective, outcome, and indicators. The three objectives are: creating a suitable
living environment; providing decent housing; and creating economic opportunities. The three outcome
categories are: availability/ accessibility, affordability, and sustainability. Accomplishments for all
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
programs are reported in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).
At the end of each program year, the Village submits a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report (CAPER) to HUD. The CAPER is posted on the Village website and showcases the
accomplishments of the program year as well as the progress towards meeting the goals identified in
the Five -Year Consolidated Plan.
4. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan was developed with input from the public. An online survey was
posted to the Village website and publicized to local and regional service providers, Village staff, and
residents for their feedback. Hard copies were also available throughout the community. A public
hearing was held and an eight-day public review period allowed citizens the opportunity to comment.
More detailed information may be found in the Process section of Consolidated Plan document.
Funding applications for PY2021 activities were made available in April 2021. A 30 -day public review
period for the PY2021 Action Plan took place from May 25 through June 23, 2021. The draft plan was
available on the Village website and hard copies were available at the Mount Prospect Public Library and
at Village Hall. The Village held a Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on June 10, 2021 to discuss
the proposed CDBG budget for PY2021. The Action Plan will proceed to the Village Board for a second
public hearing on July 6, 2021. The meetings are televised on the Village's cable station and the
recording is posted to the Village website for later viewing.
S. Summary of public comments
The 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan attachments contain the online community survey results, minutes of
the public hearing held June 25, 2020, and Village Board meeting minutes from July 7, 2020.
The PY2021 Annual Action Plan attachments will contain the minutes of the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting held June 10, 2021 and the Village Board meeting to be held July 6, 2021. No

AP -10 Consultation - 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
The Village recognizes that communication and cooperation among housing providers, community
organizations, social service organizations, and governmental units is highly desirable and essential to a
coordinated system of service delivery.
Refer to PR -10 in the Village's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for a summary of consultation efforts for
developing our five-year strategic plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and
assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies
(91.215(1)).
The Village of Mount Prospect maintains ongoing coordination between public and assisted housing
providers. There is no public housing within the Village of Mount Prospect; however the Village works
with the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) to encourage participation in the Housing Choice
Voucher (HCV) Program.
Four privately owned, federally subsidized housing developments are located in Mount Prospect: Mount
Prospect Horizon Senior Living Community, Centennial Apartments, Huntington Towers, and Myers
Place. These facilities serve the elderly and residents with disabilities. The Village continues to work with
private developers and surrounding communities to share ideas and solutions to address the affordable
housing issues in the northwest suburbs. A fifth affordable senior housing development is under
construction and scheduled to open in late 2021.
Within the Community Development Department, the Economic Development and Planning & Zoning
Division works with local public service providers to address the priorities established in the
Consolidated Plan and has regular contact with providers that receive CDBG funding. The Building &
Inspection Services Division is responsible for improving the quality of life for Mount Prospect residents
through multi -family housing inspections, environmental health programs, and code enforcement.
The Human Services Department provides health services such as health screening, outreach, health
education, the Life Line Program, the Home Companion Program, and the Medical Equipment Lending
Closet. Social service activities are coordinated through the Village's Human Services Department in
conjunction with the Community Development Department and the Police Department. The Human
Services Department works with several agencies, both locally and statewide, to assist clients in need.
The department does not have the capacity to provide direct service to individuals with severe mental
illness; these clients are referred to Alexian Brothers, Resources for Community Living, Search Inc., and
the Kenneth Young Center for specific mental health services.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless
persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans,
and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County ("the Alliance") is the Continuum of Care
Coordinator for Suburban Cook County. For the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan, the Village referred to the
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
10
Alliance's most recent strategic plan (2019-2022 Strategic Plan to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook
County) as well as homelessness data that pertain to Mount Prospect.
According to HUD, the Continuum of Care (CoC) Program "promotes community -wide commitment to
the goal of ending homelessness; provides funding for efforts by nonprofit providers and State and local
governments to quickly re -house homeless individuals and families to minimize trauma and dislocation;
promotes access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs; and optimizes self-sufficiency
among individuals and families experiencing homelessness." The Village of Mount Prospect continues to
work with the Alliance to address all components of the CoC Program, including access to affordable
housing, prevention of homelessness, community outreach, and transitional housing.
The Village of Mount Prospect supports existing programs and services designed to prevent first-time or
recurring homelessness, such as rent and mortgage assistance, utility assistance, mediation programs
for landlord -tenant disputes, and communicating landlord -tenant rights and responsibilities.
Community outreach is meant to inform the public about services to help avoid homelessness or
shorten the length of time a person is homeless. The Village of Mount Prospect publicizes information
relating to homelessness and homelessness prevention through the Human Services Department
located in Village Hall, the Community Connections Center located at 1711 West Algonquin Road, and
through a strong referral network of social service agencies.
The Village places a high priority on providing basic shelter to households experiencing homelessness or
those at risk of becoming homeless. To address this need, the Village has funded local agencies
providing emergency housing and foreclosure prevention services, including Northwest Compass,
JOURNEYS —The Road Home, and Women in Need Growing Stronger (WINGS).
Transitional housing is meant to bridge the gap between emergency shelter and permanent housing.
Transitional housing programs offer assistance to individuals or families to help stabilize their housing
costs and identify housing affordable for their budget. The Village is committed to providing transitional
housing programs for any residents that are at risk of becoming homeless, including battered or abused
persons, and supports local agencies that offer these programs, including Northwest Compass,
JOURNEYS — The Road Home, and WINGS.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining
how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and
activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and
administration of HMIS.
The Village of Mount Prospect does not directly receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. Cook
County receives ESG funding and serves Suburban Cook County where Mount Prospect is located. The
Alliance is the CoC Coordinator responsible for administrating the Homeless Management Information
System (HMIS) in our area and works directly with Cook County regarding the allocation of ESG funds.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG funds are leveraged by many sources. Subrecipient agencies leverage the funding in their budgets
to assist more residents. The Building & Inspection Services Division and Human Services Department
offer many resources for improving the quality of life for low- and moderate -income residents through
housing inspections, tenant rights information, food pantries, health clinics, and emergency financial
assistance. These services are available for Mount Prospect residents.
The Village of Mount Prospect is able to provide more public infrastructure improvements Village -wide
when CDBG funding can be used for projects within low- and moderate -income neighborhoods.
By joining the Cook County's HOME Investment Partnerships Program Consortium, the Village (and
investors/ not-for-profit groups pursuing projects in the Village) will be able to apply to the county
rather than the state for HOME funds.
If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be
used to address the needs identified in the plan

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
The priorities and goals established in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan were the basis for determining
activities to fund for PY2021. An obstacle to addressing underserved needs is limited funding and the
15% cap for public service activities.
Staff used HUD guidelines to evaluate applications for CDBG funding, which are as follows:
• Eligible activity according to CDBG categories;
• Fulfills at least one CDBG national objective;
• Primarily benefits low- and moderate -income persons or households;
• Costs of the activity appear to be necessary and reasonable;
• Satisfactory current / past performance of the agency; and
• Addresses a priority need identified in the Village's 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
Because of limited funding available to public service agencies, funding requests were further evaluated
by staff members of the Community Development Department, Human Services Department, and the
Finance Department using the following criteria:
• The administrative capacity of the agency allows for efficient use of funds and compliance with
monitoring responsibilities;
• Degree to which program overlaps with services provided by other public agencies or
government;
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2021 20
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
23
• But for this funding, would the agency be able to provide this program to Mount Prospect
residents; and
• Degree to which program fills a gap in services where community needs are not being met.
Although all of the public service agencies provide invaluable services to our residents, special
consideration was given to those organizations that a) address multiple priorities, b) provide
comprehensive services to aid our residents, and c) use CDBG funding towards direct client costs as
opposed to the payroll of employees providing client services.

AP -75 Barriers to affordable housing -91.420, 91.220(j)
Introduction
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) determined that 25.7% of the Village's housing stock
is affordable. Housing affordability is a growing challenge in many places in the United States. Local
Housing Solutions (a national housing policy think tank) identifies four main reasons for this:
1) Wages have not kept pace with housing costs;
2) Developing and operating new housing is costly;
3) Regulation can restrict the supply of new housing; and
4) Federal funding for housing assistance has been declining for decades.'
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances,
building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential
investment
The Village has reduced or eliminated permitting fees for senior developments, accessibility projects,
and single-family rehabilitation projects if the improvement is serving low- and moderate -income
individuals or households.
As a CDBG grantee, the Village is required to comply with the Fair Housing Act to affirmatively further
fair housing. The Village is currently participating in development of a regional Assessment of Fair
Housing. Regional participants include Cook County, CDBG entitlement communities within Cook
County, and local public housing authorities. The regional assessment of fair housing will outline
additional actions that the Village can take to reduce barriers to affordable housing.
Discussion
Mount Prospect will continue to advance housing affordability through strategic planning and
collaborative efforts at the local and regional level. In addition to the regional Assessment of Fair
Housing, it may be necessary to revisit the recommendations of the recent housing studies (Homes for a
Changing Region, NWSHC Senior Housing Assessment) to evaluate the progress that has been made and
recalibrate our efforts in the face of our latest challenge — COVID-19.

AP -85 Other Actions — 91.420, 91.220(k)
Introduction
The Village continually assesses the needs of the community, and in collaboration with local
municipalities and the Cook County Consortium, works to close service gaps, maintain affordable
housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty -level families, develop
institutional capacity, and enhance public-private partnerships.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
HUD allows entitlement communities to use a maximum of 15% of CDBG entitlement funds plus 15% of
the previous year's program income for public service programs. The Village has historically used the
maximum amount allowed and continues to see an increase in the requested funding amounts. The
subrecipients provide invaluable services and activities for the low- and moderate -income residents of
Mount Prospect. Therefore, the Village will continue to monitor subrecipients to ensure that CDBG
funds are used efficiently and effectively to meet the underserved needs of the Mount Prospect
community by identifying funding overlaps, gaps, and administrative capacity of the subrecipient
agencies.
An obstacle to meeting underserved needs is the limited amount of developable land, rental units, and
affordable housing for low- and moderate -income residents. The Village's CDBG Single -Family
Rehabilitation Loan Program, Home Weatherization Grant Program, and Emergency Repair Program
alleviate some of the obstacles to affordable housing by providing financial assistance to eligible low -
and moderate -income residents of Mount Prospect to rehabilitate and fix their homes. Also, the Village
continues to work with businesses interested in building senior housing and housing for residents with
special needs, such as the Horizon Senior Living Community and Myers Place.
Another obstacle to the delivery of services is the identification of populations and individuals who
might be eligible for assistance such as the Single -Family Rehabilitation Loan Program or Emergency
Repair Program. The Community Connections Center will continue to provide information to residents
and businesses to ensure the population is aware of all services available by the Village, other units of
government, and social service organizations.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) determined that 25.7% of the Village's housing stock
is affordable.Z Mount Prospect is investigating options to maintain affordability. In PY2021, the Village
expects to assist at least 3 households increase housing affordability through rehabilitation and
emergency repair programs. The organizations funded through public service dollars will increase the
amount of affordable units by providing rental assistance and other housing activities.
The Village has recently supported two affordable housing projects. Myers Place is a mixed-use
permanent supportive housing development comprised of commercial spaces and affordable housing
rental apartments. Residents are supported by social service staff, both onsite and through community
linkages. One of the owners of Myers Place, Kenneth Young Center, is the existing community mental
health agency in the township and has expanded their social service programming into permanent

housing for this development. Access to high-quality, affordable housing is one of the most critical
obstacles for people with mental illness to move toward recovery.
The Village provided CDBG funding for property acquisition for the Alden Foundation's Horizon Senior
Living Community, which provides 91 housing units and supportive services to our elderly, low- and
moderate -income residents. This project is complete and fully occupied. Additionally, Perlmark Housing
Group is developing a 74 -unit affordable senior housing planned unit development, which is currently
under construction as of the writing of this report.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
Refer to SP -65
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
Refer to SP -70
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Refer to SP -40
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies
Communication between the public, private, and not-for-profit agencies is critical to the provision of
housing and community development programs in the Village. Without open communication between
these groups, it is unlikely that the housing strategies set forth in this plan will be successful. The Village
of Mount Prospect coordinates with different entities to provide the resources necessary to meet the
community's needs. Monthly meetings with service providers and governmental organizations are held
at the Village's Human Services Department. The group discusses upcoming events and trends in their
respective fields. The Community Connections Center hosts communication meetings and encourages
partnerships between local service providers.

visit, lab and radiology for $5 per test, and prescriptions for $15-40 copayment. She noted these services
are provided on an unlimited as needed basis. Ms. Mertz reported that the agency has added limited
behavioral health services, opioid risk management, flu /pneumonia vaccines, and diabetic test strips. She
noted that Access to Care does not receive direct federal or state funding and that most support is from
private foundations and local units of government. She described the impacts of the pandemic: 27 million
nationwide have lost job related health care benefits, and 20% of those losing benefits are not eligible for
any type of medical coverage. Ms. Mertz reported that nearly 25% of their members are diabetic, compared
to 6% in the general population, and 25% of members received medication for at least 3 disease states. She
stated that since inception, Access to Care has served 130,000 unduplicated individuals in Cook County
and last year there was an 11% increase in demand for services, for a total of almost 6,000 clients, 169 of
whom were Mount Prospect residents.

CDBG 2021 Action Plan

Ms. Wall noted this is the second year that the agency is applying for CDBG funds from Mount Prospect.
The organization recently changed its name from Escorted Transportation Service Northwest to
Connections to Care and serves 14 communities in the northwest suburbs. Ms. Wall stated that the agency
provides rides to frail elderly clients who cannot drive themselves to medical appointments. The volunteer
drivers take the client to the appointment, wait with them, and then take the client home. She reported that
the average age of their clients is 85, and some have hearing, memory, mobility, and/or vision loss. Ms.
Wall noted they serve a marginalized population with low fixed-income individuals. She said the
organization changed its name because they are much more than a ride service; the drivers make
connections with passengers and provide companionship. Ms. Wall stated that their volunteers are very
committed, go above and beyond, and truly care about the clients. She reported that the Mount Prospect
customer base is growing - last year, even with pandemic, Mount Prospect residents were 17% of all rides.
In a normal year, they serve 50 people with 550 rides. Ms. Wall explained that the agency does not charge
any fees, only suggests a donation, so the funding helps cover the costs of those who cannot donate.
Commissioner Fitzgerald asked if volunteers are able to see the same clients again. Ms. Wall replied that
the organization has an online scheduling system and volunteers can select clients for repeat rides.
Suzanne Ploger / Journeys - The Road Home / 1140 E Northwest Hwy, Palatine
Ms. Ploger thanked the Commission for hosting the agencies and stated that Journeys is a comprehensive
service organization serving the homeless and those at -risk of homelessness. Their service area is the north
section of Cook County — 10 townships and 37 towns. Ms. Ploger noted that Journeys serves Mount
Prospect residents and has a number of PADS locations in town. She explained that the traditional PADS
sites were closed in March 2020 and clients were moved into hotels for quarantine; over 100 people were
placed in hotel rooms and remain there today. Ms. Ploger noted their day center is fully open and operational
now, and they continue to find housing for clients. She recounted that a client recently called the Executive
Director to thank the agency for connecting her to services to get stabilized. Ms. Ploger stated the agency
supports the community and the community supports the agency. She looks forward to continued work with
the Village.
Carrie Estrada / Northwest CASA / 415 Golf Rd, Arlington Heights
Ms. Estrada thanked the Commission and stated the mission of the organization is to end sexual violence
and empower survivors, which the agency does through crisis intervention, legal and medical advocacy,
trauma therapy, and prevention education. All services are free of charge and offered in English and
Spanish. Ms. Estrada described each of their programs: the crisis hotline is available 24/7 and is staffed by
trained volunteers and staff; medical advocacy is provided by staff members that meet the client at the
hospital to walk them through evidence collection and reporting to police; legal advocacy assigns a staff
person to help the client navigate the legal system; trauma counseling is available to anyone and provided
by clinicians and volunteers. Ms. Estrada emphasized that all services are free and their goal is to remove
all financial barriers to receiving support. She concluded with a description of the prevention education in
schools, which consists of teaching children about body safety, consent, by-stander intervention, and how
to report abuse.
Chairman Donnelly thanked the participants for their work in the community.
Hearing no questions, Chairman Donnelly asked for a motion to approve the draft 2021 Action Plan and
proposed budget. Commission Fitzgerald made a motion and Commissioner Szymczak seconded the
motion.
