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
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 the 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.
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) 2023 AAP
outlines the specific use of CDBG funds for the period October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2024.
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.
Funding sources for PY2023 consist of the annual entitlement grant, program income, and carry-over
funds. The Village's PY2023 allocation for the CDBG program will be $286,119. 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
PY2023 is $446,399.
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 Program. The Village
has funded rehabilitation of public facilities that serve low- and moderate income residents and public
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
9
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
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 PY2023 activities were made available in March 2023. A 30 -day public review
period for the PY2023 Action Plan took place from June 12 through July 11, 2023. 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 will held a Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on June 22, 2023 to
discuss the proposed CDBG budget for PY2023. The Action Plan proceeded to the Village Board for a
second public hearing on July 18, 2023. The meetings are televised on the Village's cable station and the
recording is posted to the Village website for later viewing.
5. Summary of public comments

the public hearing held June 25, 2020, and Village Board meeting minutes from July 7, 2020.

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.
Five privately owned, federally subsidized housing developments are located in Mount Prospect: Mount
Prospect Horizon Senior Living Community, Centennial Apartments, Huntington Towers, Myers Place,
and The Kenzie Senior Residences at Randhurst. A new, 53 -unit affordable senior living facility is
scheduled to start construction in 2023. These facilities serve seniors and adults 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.
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 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 2023
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
13
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 informatior
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 publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be
used to address the needs identified in the plan
The Village will not utilize any publicly owned land for Program Year 2023.

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 PY2022. 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;
• But for this funding, would the agency be able to provide this program to Mount Prospect
residents; and
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2023 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
28
• 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 organization) 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. The Village has been participating
in the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus Housing and Community Development Committee to identify
housing challenges at the local and regional level, as well as to identify local housing data needs.

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.
Broadband access for low- and moderate -income households is federally subsidized by the Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) Affordable Connectivity Program in partnership with private
companies such as AT&T, Comcast, and RCN. Residents are encouraged to visit the FCC website or the
Citizens Utility Board website to see if they are eligible and to complete an application.
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.' Mount Prospect is investigating options to maintain affordability. In PY2023, the Village
expects to assist at least 2 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 supported affordable housing projects with CDBG funds. 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 occupants of Myers Place, Kenneth Young Center, is the existing community mental
health agency in the township and has created a satellite office in this building. 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.
Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The Village is aware of the health risks, especially to children, that exist in older homes due to the
presence of lead-based paint. The Village will continue to provide information and support lead-based
paint testing to Village residents.
The Village complies with HUD's lead-based paint regulations with respect to the Village's housing
rehabilitation programs. The required notifications, lead hazard testing, and lead hazard treatment
protocols are followed.
Refer to SP -65 in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for more information.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The federal government has devised several programs such as SNAP, public housing, and Medicaid to
address the immediate needs of those persons in poverty. The Village plays an important role in
publicizing, connecting, and coordinating the available resources that can address the problems of
income -challenged residents.
The Village provided CDBG funds to a variety of anti -poverty public service programs that assist low- and
moderate -income residents. Low- and moderate -income residents would not be able to afford these
services without assistance from HUD, the Village, and the subrecipient agencies. Available services
include:
• The Single Family Rehabilitation and Emergency Repair Programs reduce the cost burden to
homeowners who cannot afford to do rehab work to their properties.
• Northwest Compass Inc provide services for housing, budgeting, and skill building.
• The HOPE Day Resource Center provides case management, mental health counseling, housing
coordination, vocational training, and a variety of immediate services (food, clothing, supplies).
• WINGS has a continuum of housing ranging from emergency shelter through permanent
supportive housing that allows homeless women to have a housing solution based on their
individual needs.
Direct services are available to residents through the Human Services Department which consist of
assessments, short term counseling, case management, entitlement benefit application assistance,
emergency financial assistance, court advocacy, crisis intervention, and nursing and homebound care for
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2023 33
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
38
seniors and the disabled. Programs and clinics address health education, provide health screenings,
work with at risk adolescents and preschool age children, provide opportunities for participation in
health activities and support groups, and provide other educational opportunities. The Human Services
Department operates a food pantry and a medical lending closet year round. When necessary, clients
are referred to other area agencies and programs for assistance.
The Mount Prospect Community Connections Center is the south branch of the Human Services
department. The center offers centralized information and referral for all residents in South Mount
Prospect and educational programs for families.
Refer to SP -70 in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for more information.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The Village continues to address affordable housing and other community needs within the area by
coordinating its efforts with private and non-profit agencies and organizations. The Village regularly
works with regional planning groups, such as the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus (MMC), the Chicago
Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), and the Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC). The Village
participates in the MMC Housing and Economic Development Committee, as well as the MMC Age -
Friendly Communities Collaborative.
Refer to SP -40 in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan for more information.
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.

Mr. Dziubinska thanked the Wage on behalf of the Mount Prospect Park IDistrict and Schoo� District 57
for being able to present about the Lions Park project, Mr. 1Dziubins1ki introduced MicheRe KeUy of 24042
Lockport St, Plainfield lL, sworn in, to present slides about the Lions Park project.
Ms, Kelly presented Odes, the first of which shows the aerW view of Lions Park on 06/28/23. Ms, Kelly
explained that there is currently not enough room for accessible traits for people to access different
parts of the park, or to walk loops which would be a free and accessible activity for, the surrounding
community Ms. Kelly continued the Odes, exhibiting the master plan to move the park from being
somewhat inaccessible to being very accessible with new recreation features for all age groups. She
demonstrates where the new improvements Willi include a large loop, a new prairie area, a fitness area,
and a tree grove path. She expliained that the walking (loop is' mile, and that the loop extends toward
the band shell in the park so people can engage with live entertainment, Ms. Kelly added that the
pathway also extends to the neighborhood and school to allow for easy engagement of nearby residents
and students with the park, She noted that there w0i also be a brand new playground because the
current one is over 20 years old, Ms. Kelly proceeded to show slides of the new playground area, which
was voted upon by the nearby school students and neighbors, She then exhibited the shade area and
small stage area of the playground, noting that these are accessible structures for everyone to
participate in. She added that there will also be an exercise area for adults, which are also designed for
people who may not Iharve fulli mobility. To conclude the plan presentation, Ms. IKelly noted that there
will be new benches installed as well.
Commissioner Mirwicki asked Ms. Kelly if the refurbishing of the tennis courts would include any pickle
ball courts. Ms. KeUy answered that picklie ball courts are highly desired and would be included in Phase
2, but not Phase 2.
Cornvt*sioneir Beattie then asked what was proposed for the future for a large white area on the master
plan image. Mr. Dziubgnski answered that the pool needs attention, that they need to design something
at the pool, pkkle baO courts, the parking lot needs to be refurbished, and lastly that the recreational
center needs cosmetic and accessibility improvements because it is currently not accessible. He is not
yet sure which Phase these improvements would! be a part of.
James Jarog, Executive Director of Mount Prospect Park District at 11,000 W. Central Rd, Mount Prospect,
was sworn in, To close, Mr. Jarog noted that Mount Prospect Park District was impacted by COWD and
therefore lost about $3 mfl4on in recreational programming revenue. He stated that the Park District
was not eligible for any financial relief funds that many other agencies did receive, and that they're
hopeful that the Commission will give a favorable opinion for the project and Mount Prospect residents.
Chairman Donnefly thanked the participants for their work in the conirnunity,
Commissioner Beattie asked how, given the Ilow-to-moderate income guideline for CD6G ftnicling, the
park projects are eligible for CDBG funding, and if this was a new part of the CD9G program. Ms. Lalagos
answered that historically, there have not been other park projects like these, but since they are located
in jow-to-moderate income areas, they quahfy for CDBG funding, Commissioner Beattie, asked Ms.
Wagos to clarify why these types of projects haven't been clone in the past, to which Ms. Wagos
responded that there haven't been many appfications, for them before now, and that those funds
typically go toward other facilities that support residents.

Commissioner Weir noted that most of the other apphcants weren't asking for as Much funding as the
park projects were. Commissioner Weir asked Ms. Lalagos if the funding for park projects come at an
expense to other sodaG service projects, Ms. Laiagos responded that public services projects have a cap
of 15% of the CDBG funding which restrains the amount of funding available for the other nine CDBG
applicants. Ms. Lalagos explained that the Village would likely give more funding to the public services
projects if there was not a 15% cap on that funding designation. Ms. Lalagos added that a lot of work has
been geared toward brick and mortar projects like the sidewalk replacement and that pubIlic services are
actually supposed to be a smaHer portion of the overall CDBG budget.
Commissioner MizwicM asked how the brick and mortar projects support residents of Ilow income, Ms.
Lalagos responded that a large portion of funding goes toward housing rehabilitation and accessibillity
improvements within Kornes. She also added that there is a large list of things one can use CDBG funds
for and it all depends on who applies for it and if there are eligible areas that need it,
Commissioner Miz!wicki asked how people know to apply for the CDBG funding, to which Ms. Lalagos
responded that there is a public notice sent out every year for applications and that there is a notice on
the website to let people know when it becomes avaiiable. Ms Lalagos rioted that previous recipients
also receive inotice of when the applications are due. She mentioned that the limitations on appHcations
are usually the funding, and that with Connections Field, there happened to be some funding available
for it.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked Ms. Lallagos how to best make these CDBG-funded facilities accessible and
known to Mount Prospect residents more so than those who do not reside un Mount Prospect. Ms.
Lalagos affirmed that the Village does have to make sure that the facilities are benefitting those who are
low- and moderate -income and residmg in Mount Prospect, She adds that the Lions Park walking loop
project, for instance, benefits those imrnediat6y surrounding it, and that since it is a smaller amenity, it
is unlikely to draw in users from the larger area. She exp1lains that funds are targeted to specific activities
to prevent a service area that is so broad that they would have no idea how many people are being
impacted by it.
Chairman Donnelly asked for a motion to approve the draft 2023 Action Plan and proposed budget,
Commission Beattie made a motion and Commissioner Fitzgerald seconded the motion,
UPON ROLL CALL AYES: Szymczak, Frtzgerald, Beattie, Weir, Mizwiicks, Donnelly

Funding Requests

Walter Szymczak
MEMBERS ABSENT: Donald Olsen

STAFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Antonia Lalagos — Development Planner
INTERESTED PARTIES: Organizations applying for CDBG funds
Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. Commissioner Beattie made a motion
seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting on March 9, 2023. The minutes were approved 5-0, with 1 abstention.
After hearing one item of new business, Chairman Donnelly introduced the second item of business:
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Year 2023 Action Plan and Funding Requests.
Ms. Lalagos provided a brief background on the CDBG program and explained that CDBG funds must be
used for activities that primarily benefit the Village's low/moderate income residents. She reviewed the
planning documents and public participation process required for the CDBG program. Ms. Lalagos
stated that the draft CDBG 2023 Action Plan proposes eligible activities for the time period of October 1,
2023 through September 30, 2024. She noted that funding for the Action Plan comes from 3 sources:
the annual grant allocation; program income; and carryover funds. Ms. Lalagos explained that the
amount of funding that can be allocated for public services is limited by HUD to a maximum of 15% of
the annual grant allocation plus 15% of the prior year program income. Based on these guidelines, the
Village is estimating $44,075 is available in program year 2023 for public service programs, or
approximately 58% of the public service funding requests received. She stated that the Planning &
Zoning Commission has the responsibility to review funding requests from non -Village agencies and
make recommendations concerning those requests. Ms. Lalagos reviewed the draft 2023 budget and the
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — June 22, 2023 CDBG 2023 Action Plan

timeline for adopting and submitting the 2023 Action Plan to HUD. She stated that the draft 2023 Action
Plan is currently available for a 30 -day public review period from June 12 —July 11. Ms. Lalagos
announced that the applicant organizations were invited to attend the meeting this evening to describe
their organizations' work and what they propose to do with the CDBG funding.
Commissioner Beattie asked Ms. Lalagos to describe the Connections Field project Ms. Lalagos
responded that the Connections Field is a mini -soccer pitch that will be installed at Euclid Elementary
School's field, open to students as well as the public after school hours. Ms. Lalagos explained that the
project will take place in a low -moderate income area and that it will serve a wider public need for free
recreational areas. She also noted that the project was proposed and fundraised for by a resident, and
that construction is anticipated to start in September 2023.
Chairman Donnelly opened the hearing to the subrecipients. Chairman Donnelly swore in the following
persons:
Grace Lipscomb / Search Inc / 1925 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago
Ms. Lipscomb stated that Search Inc provides residential and day program services for adults with
developmental and intellectual disabilities. She described her role as development manager providing
support to about 350 individuals that live at the organization's 28 group homes in Chicago, Mount
Prospect, Morton Grove and Skokie. Ms. Lipscomb reported that 8 of Search's homes are in Mount
Prospect, housing a total of 45 residents. She stated that Search is requesting funds for the renovation
of a bathroom at the Andoa Lane residence in Mount Prospect, home to 4 low-income men in their
program. She noted that the organization aims to facilitate the comfortable aging in place of these men,
which is made possible by improvement projects like these. Ms. Lipscomb included that previous CDBG
funding from the Village of Mount Prospect has positively impacted the organization in the past. Ms.
Lipscomb thanked the Commission for their time and support.
Jessica Montgomery / Children's Advocacy Center / 640 Illinois Blvd, Hoffman Estates
Ms. Montgomery described her role as the Director of Forensic and Advocacy Services at the Children's
Advocacy Center (CAC). Ms. Montgomery stated that the CAC is a nonprofit organization that provides a
comprehensive and coordinated response to reports of suspected child sexual abuse, physical abuse,
and other crimes against children. She added that the CAC also interviews children who have witnessed
crimes to consolidate their retelling of the experience with one trained professional. She reported that
they serve 38 communities in North and Northwest Cook County including Mount Prospect. Ms.
Montgomery explained that the CAC receives referrals from law enforcement agencies and DCFS to
conduct forensic interviews with children ages 3-17. She noted they also provide victim advocacy which
includes case management, crisis intervention, and court advocacy services, and they coordinate
medical services and mental health resources for victims. Ms. Montgomery stated that the individuals
and families served are assigned a family advocate that stays with them through the life of the case.
Ms. Montgomery indicated that all services are free of charge and offered in English and Spanish
regardless of income. Ms. Montgomery reported that in the last fiscal year the CAC served 143 children
from Mount Prospect, and that Mount Prospect is one of their top 10 of 40 areas served. Ms.
Montgomery explained that the organization has received a 15-20% decrease in funding from VOCA
(Victims of Crime Acts), and that the CDBG funding from Mount Prospect Village would support the
salaries of the Forensic and Advocacy team staff, who are available 24/7/365 to law enforcement and
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — June 22, 2023 CDBG 2023 Action Plan
child protective agencies to provide a continuum of care for children and their families who are
experiencing abuse. Ms. Montgomery thanked the Commission.
Char Padovani and Amy Gall / Connections to Care / 1801 W Central, Arlington Heights
Ms. Padovani explained that the organization used to be called Escorted Transportation Services but
they changed their name two years ago because they are more than just a ride to medical
appointments; their volunteers create interpersonal connections with seniors that are often isolated.
She noted that the organization has existed since 2006, and they have provided over 35,000 rides,
though the pandemic has decreased the volume in the last two years due to COVID but that numbers
are growing again. She reported that the volunteers pick up the seniors at their homes, take them to
appointments, and wait with them at the doctor's office or nearby before returning the seniors to their
homes. Ms. Padovani noted there are other transportation options in the suburbs but none of them
offer this extent of service over 14 communities, 4 townships, and 5 medical centers. Ms. Padovani
reported that the organization serves 160 square miles. Ms. Padovani expressed that the organization
decreases isolation because volunteers made phone calls to them to check in and that most drivers
know their passengers. She stated that drivers can also access passengers' emergency contacts in case
anything is of concern. Ms. Padovani noted that the volunteer drivers use their own cars, pay for their
own gas, and provide their time out of the goodness of their hearts. She reported that in 2022, the
organization completed over 2,000 rides and that 250 of them were for Mount Prospect residents.
Ms. Padovani indicated that the average age of their riders is 85, so it is a frail elderly population with
many needs. She added that the greatest percent of rise in population is 61-85 year olds (61%) and that
30% of all patients miss medical appointments due to lack of transportation. She reported that for each
ride, they ask the riders for a $15 donation but no one is turned away if they cannot donate, and that
this only covers about 20% of their costs. Ms. Padovani stated that some of their past funding sources
have decreased or shut down, so the CDBG grant would help to make ends meet. Ms. Padovani thanked
the Commission.
Kimberly Mertz / Access to Care / 2225 Enterprise Dr, Westchester
Ms. Mertz (COO) stated that Access to Care has provided primary health care services to low income
uninsured and underinsured Suburban Cook County residents since 1988. She detailed the 3
components of the program: primary care physicians for $5 per visit, lab and radiology for $5 per test,
and prescriptions for $15-40 for a 30 -day supply. She noted these services are provided on an unlimited
as needed basis. Ms. Mertz reported that the agency has behavioral health services, opioid risk
management, flu/pneumonia vaccines, and diabetic test strips for free. She stated that the purpose of
the organization is to provide primary health care services to those who are not eligible for State or
Federal programs, who go to the ER for illnesses, or who don't seek care at all. Ms. Mertz reported that
last year, Access to Care served 4500 people in Suburban Cook County, 154 of whom were from Mount
Prospect. Ms. Mertz reported that Access to Care members are sicker than the general population; for
example, nearly 25% of their members are diabetic compared to 6% of the general population, and that
57% of members receive medications for two or more disease states. She stated that the grant request
would cover direct provider costs for 26 Mount Prospect residents. She thanked the Village for their
historical support and partnership.
Sonia Ivanov / Northwest Compass Inc / 1300 W Northwest Hwy, Mount Prospect
Ms. Ivanov (Executive Director) stated that the agency is located in Mount Prospect and thanked the
Village for their continued support and partnership. Ms. Ivanov reported that Northwest Compass
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — June 22, 2023
CDBG 2023 Action Plan
19
(NWC) is the lead agency for "coordinated entry," which is a federal initiative to coordinate housing
resources and services for people experiencing homelessness or housing instability. She reported that
the organization receives about 40 calls per month from Mount Prospect residents seeking supportive
services: stabilization, housing, rental assistance and more. Ms. Ivanov expanded that rent prices are
increasing which creates higher demand for affordable housing. She noted that the organization offers
other stabilization and empowerment resources such as money management skills, legal services,
connections to employment, and more.
Ms. Ivanov stated that Northwest Compass has four different housing programs and four apartment
buildings in Mount Prospect, and that they would like to rent more if possible. She reported that in the
last two quarters, NWC has served 312 Mount Prospect residents and that numbers are increasing
because the cost of food is increasing, so more residents are in need of food pantry services. Ms. Ivanov
explained NWC's four housing programs: one targeted to youth ages 18-24, a transitional living
program, a permanent supportive housing program, and a WINGS program. She noted that the goal of
all of their programs is stabilization and to help people change the trajectory of their lives. Ms. Ivanov
thanked the Commission.
Rebecca Plascencia / Northwest CASA / 415 Golf Rd, Arlington Heights
Ms. Plascencia stated that the Northwest CASA has been around since 1975 serving victims of sexual
violence in the North and Northwest Cook County, and that they also started serving in McHenry
County. She listed the functions of the organization, the first of which were prevention services, where
they are in the schools working with survivors and doing prevention education for all age groups. She
stated that the other services fall within the sexual violence intervention program which is completely
free to clients; this includes specialized trauma -informed counseling, legal advocacy, medical advocacy
at 11 local hospitals, and a 24-hour crisis hotline, available to all residents of Mount Prospect who have
been impacted. Ms. Plascencia reported that the CDBG funds go towards their crisis intervention
program and thanked the Village for their ongoing support. She noted that the agency has seen an
uptick in the need for services and reported that on Tuesday they had 5 hotline calls for medical
advocacy within a 12 -hour window. She also mentioned that there is an ongoing waitlist of clients. Ms.
Plascencia explained that sexual violence services received a 50% funding cut, which means a $385,000
deficit in the Northwest CASA budget. Ms. Plascencia concluded by stating the importance of supporting
sexual assault survivors.
Luticia Fiorito / WINGS Program Inc / 5104 Tollview Dr, Rolling Meadows
Ms. Fiorito stated that in FY22, WINGS served 984 survivors of domestic violence — adults and children.
Of those 984 victims, 16,000 hours of counseling were provided to adults and children. She indicated
that over the past year and a half, less than 1% of their services have gone to Mount Prospect residents,
but are always available to Mount Prospect residents in need. Ms. Fiorito described a new program
released July 1 of 2022, which is adult counseling. She stated that in the past, this program was
counseled by Masters Level interns, but since their time at the organization was finite, they needed
more permanent counseling services for victims. Ms. Fiorito noted that the program is now staffed by
LCPC and LSW licensed counselors, supervised by a manager of clinical services with those degrees or
higher. She added that three days ago, they also started construction of their new Community
Outsource Center at the WINGS main office. Ms. Fiorito noted that this Center will serve local and
statewide residents - who aren't yet ready to leave the person who causes harm - through safety
counseling and planning. She stated that the program is set to start in 8-12 weeks. Ms. Fiorito thanked
the Village for their continued support for over ten years.

Greg Davenport / North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic / 3500 Western Ave Ste 2A, Highland Park
Ms. Davenport explained that the North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic is a nonprofit organization that
provides free legal services to at -risk low income individuals in the areas of housing, domestic violence,
and immigration. He noted there is no income threshold for those experiencing domestic violence
because they may not have access to assets, and their other threshold is 250% of the federal poverty
line, which is roughly $75,000 for a family of four. Mr. Davenport reported that the Clinic has grown
rapidly since inception in 2015 due to needs of the community and helpful funding. He added that the
Clinic has now 40 staff members, including 20 licensed attorneys. Mr. Davenport added that the Clinic
has opened over 6,000 cases for clients since 2015, 2,000 of which are from this year alone. Mr.
Davenport noted that, since these legal services are free to clients, the Clinic relies on supportive
revenue like grants, donations and special events.
Mr. Davenport noted that Mount Prospect is a new partnership for the Clinic as of last year and is
grateful for their previous grant support. He stated that this has allowed them to serve more residents
of Mount Prospect. Mr. Davenport stated that the domestic violence staff works to give victims
protection from their abusers, the immigration team establishes new lives for Ukrainian and Afghan
refugees, and the housing team helps to prevent homelessness. He added that the Clinic has also been
able to host regular Clinics with the Village to increase awareness and overall access to services. Mr.
Davenport reported that in the past 18 months, they have opened 55 cases involving a Mount Prospect
residence, 37 of which took place within this past year. He expresses that this has been the direct result
of an ongoing supportive relationship with the Village of Mount Prospect. He explained that the CDBG
proposal is to provide vital legal services in the community by supporting staff salaries, supplies and
travel that are associated with providing services. Mr. Davenport concluded thanked the Village for their
ongoing support.
Shaina Makani / Journeys - The Road Home / 315 N Salem, Arlington Heights
Ms. Makani stated that Journeys has served the community since 1989 through shelter, wraparound
social services and housing. She reported that last year, the organization served 802 clients overall, and
that of those, 203 were children, and of those children, 62 utilized shelter program. Ms. Makani specifies
that Journeys has served 920 clients within the fiscal year, over 100 of whom are children. She explained
that there is an increasing number of unhoused children and families, which require more services and
resources in order to stabilize. Ms. Makani noted that this has increased demand on all of Journeys'
programs.
Ms. Makani stated that the organization's 60 social services are free, including food pantry, clothing
closet, nurse practitioner for onsite healthcare, mental health counseling, housing counseling,
vocational counseling, domestic violence counseling, job search, and school advocacy. Ms. Makani noted
that wraparound services are necessary to support clients so they also administer information and
referral. She stated that Journeys' Palatine location is still open, and that they just opened their new
facility in December 2022. She described that this is helpful to have all services in one place to limit
barriers to services. Ms. Makani expressed that Journeys' goal is to help people retain and attain
housing to prevent and transition out of homelessness. She reported that this fiscal year, Journeys has
housed 172 clients, which is much more people than any year past, and which will increase with more
information from prospective clients in need. Ms. Makani thanked the Village and St. Mark's Lutheran
Church for their PADS emergency shelter sites to continue serving Mount Prospect residents.
Matt Dziubinski / Mount Prospect Park District / 1000 W. Central Rd, Mount Prospect
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — June 22, 2023
CDBG 2023 Action Plan
71
Mr. Dziubinski thanked the Village on behalf of the Mount Prospect Park District and School District 57
for being able to present about the Lions Park project. Mr. Dziubinski introduced Michelle Kelly of 24042
Lockport St, Plainfield IL, sworn in, to present slides about the Lions Park project.
Ms. Kelly presented slides, the first of which shows the aerial view of Lions Park on 06/28/23. Ms. Kelly
explained that there is currently not enough room for accessible trails for people to access different
parts of the park, or to walk loops which would be a free and accessible activity for the surrounding
community. Ms. Kelly continued the slides, exhibiting the master plan to move the park from being
somewhat inaccessible to being very accessible with new recreation features for all age groups. She
demonstrates where the new improvements will include a large loop, a new prairie area, a fitness area,
and a tree grove path. She explained that the walking loop is % mile, and that the loop extends toward
the band shell in the park so people can engage with live entertainment. Ms. Kelly added that the
pathway also extends to the neighborhood and school to allow for easy engagement of nearby residents
and students with the park. She noted that there will also be a brand new playground because the
current one is over 20 years old. Ms. Kelly proceeded to show slides of the new playground area, which
was voted upon by the nearby school students and neighbors. She then exhibited the shade area and
small stage area of the playground, noting that these are accessible structures for everyone to
participate in. She added that there will also be an exercise area for adults, which are also designed for
people who may not have full mobility. To conclude the plan presentation, Ms. Kelly noted that there
will be new benches installed as well.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked Ms. Kelly if the refurbishing of the tennis courts would include any pickle
ball courts. Ms. Kelly answered that pickle ball courts are highly desired and would be included in Phase
2, but not Phase 1.
Commissioner Beattie then asked what was proposed for the future for a large white area on the master
plan image. Mr. Dziubinski answered that the pool needs attention, that they need to design something
at the pool, pickle ball courts, the parking lot needs to be refurbished, and lastly that the recreational
center needs cosmetic and accessibility improvements because it is currently not accessible. He is not
yet sure which Phase these improvements would be a part of.
James Jarog, Executive Director of Mount Prospect Park District at 1000 W. Central Rd. Mount Prospect,
was sworn in. To close, Mr. Jarog noted that Mount Prospect Park District was impacted by COVID and
therefore lost about $3 million in recreational programming revenue. He stated that the Park District
was not eligible for any financial relief funds that many other agencies did receive, and that they're
hopeful that the Commission will give a favorable opinion for the project and Mount Prospect residents.
Chairman Donnelly thanked the participants for their work in the community.
Commissioner Beattie asked how, given the low -to -moderate income guideline for CDBG funding, the
park projects are eligible for CDBG funding, and if this was a new part of the CDBG program. Ms. Lalagos
answered that historically, there have not been other park projects like these, but since they are located
in low -to -moderate income areas, they qualify for CDBG funding. Commissioner Beattie asked Ms.
Lalagos to clarify why these types of projects haven't been done in the past, to which Ms. Lalagos
responded that there haven't been many applications for them before now, and that those funds
typically go toward other facilities that support residents.
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting — June 22, 2023 CDBG 2023 Action Plan
72
Commissioner Weir noted that most of the other applicants weren't asking for as much funding as the
park projects were. Commissioner Weir asked Ms. Lalagos if the funding for park projects come at an
expense to other social service projects. Ms. Lalagos responded that public services projects have a cap
of 15% of the CDBG funding which restrains the amount of funding available for the other nine CDBG
applicants. Ms. Lalagos explained that the Village would likely give more funding to the public services
projects if there was not a 15% cap on that funding designation. Ms. Lalagos added that a lot of work has
been geared toward brick and mortar projects like the sidewalk replacement and that public services are
actually supposed to be a smaller portion of the overall CDBG budget.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked how the brick and mortar projects support residents of low income. Ms.
Lalagos responded that a large portion of funding goes toward housing rehabilitation and accessibility
improvements within homes. She also added that there is a large list of things one can use CDBG funds
for and it all depends on who applies for it and if there are eligible areas that need it.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked how people know to apply for the CDBG funding, to which Ms. Lalagos
responded that there is a public notice sent out every year for applications and that there is a notice on
the website to let people know when it becomes available. Ms. Lalagos noted that previous recipients
also receive notice of when the applications are due. She mentioned that the limitations on applications
are usually the funding, and that with Connections Field, there happened to be some funding available
for it.
Commissioner Mizwicki asked Ms. Lalagos how to best make these CDBG-funded facilities accessible and
known to Mount Prospect residents more so than those who do not reside in Mount Prospect. Ms.
Lalagos affirmed that the Village does have to make sure that the facilities are benefitting those who are
low- and moderate -income and residing in Mount Prospect. She adds that the Lions Park walking loop
project, for instance, benefits those immediately surrounding it, and that since it is a smaller amenity, it
is unlikely to draw in users from the larger area. She explains that funds are targeted to specific activities
to prevent a service area that is so broad that they would have no idea how many people are being
impacted by it.
