BACKGROUND
The Village of Mount Prospect is an entitlement community that receives an annual allocation
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for our Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. As an entitlement community, the Village is
required to develop a Consolidated Plan providing an outline for community development
needs and strategies over a five-year period. The Village is required to submit an annual
Action Plan to HUD each year proposing eligible activities for the upcoming program year and
addressing the priority needs described in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan. The Village's
responsibility is to ensure that Mount Prospect residents, specifically those considered to be
low-income and moderate -income, benefit from the CDBG program.

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) 2024 AAP
outlines the specific use of CDBG funds for the period October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025.
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2024
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 PY2024 consist of the annual entitlement grant and estimated carry-over funds. The
total anticipated amount available for projects in PY2024 is $283,285, comprised of the Village's PY2024
allocation of $268,066, and estimated carry-over of $15,219 from PY2023. The Village conservatively
estimates $0 in program income when developing the annual Action Plan budget, so that we are not
budgeting funds that may not materialize. Program income is generated from the repayment of loans
issued by the Single Family Rehabilitation (SFR) Loan program. The loans are repaid when a borrower
that participated in the SFR program chooses to sell their home, and the Village has no method of
predicting when or if any sales will occur in a given year.
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
Mount Prospect, IL Annual Action Plan 2024 4
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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
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 PY2024 activities were made available in April 2024. A 30 -day public review
period for the PY2024 Action Plan took place from June 3 through July 2, 2024. The draft plan was
available on the Village website and hard copies were available at Village Hall. The Village held a
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on June 27, 2024 to discuss the proposed CDBG budget for
PY2024. The Action Plan went to the Village Board for a second public hearing on July 16, 2024. The
meetings were televised on the Village's cable station and the recordings will be 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.

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 broke
ground 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 2024
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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, including those receiving assistance from public or private agencies
that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs. 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). The Northwest Compass Program is open to anyone experiencing a housing crisis,
including extremely low-income individuals and families, and those who are likely to become homeless
after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care.
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.
Byjoining 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 2024.

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 PY2024. 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
• Degree to which program fills a gap in services where community needs are not being met.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 PY2024, 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

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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 2024 32
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
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.

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 May 27, 2024. The minutes were approved 4-0.
Chairman Donnelly introduced the first item of business: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program Year 2024 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- and moderate -income residents. She reviewed
the planning documents and public participation process required for the CDBG program. Ms. Lalagos
stated that the draft CDBG 2024 Action Plan proposes eligible activities for the time period of October 1,
2024 through September 30, 2025. She noted that funding for the Action Plan comes from three
sources: the annual grant allocation; program income; and carryover funds. Ms. Lalagos displayed the
census blocks of the Village that are currently eligible for CBDG funding, but noted there will be an
update for the 2024 program year depending on when HUD releases the new data. Ms. Lalagos stated
that the Village will adopt a new five-year Consolidated Plan next year.
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 $42,793 is available in program year 2024 for public
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting —June 27, 2024 CDBG 2024 Action Plan
service programs, or approximately 50% 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 2024
budget and the timeline for adopting and submitting the 2024 Action Plan to HUD. She stated that the
draft 2024 Action Plan is currently available for a 30 -day public review period from June 3 — July 2. 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.
Ms. Lalagos provided an update about the Connections Field Project as well as the Lions Memorial Park
Project. CDBG funds were used for the Connections Field Project to build a field outside of Euclid
Elementary school. She reported that the field is open from dawn to dusk for public use, though it is
limited to student use during school hours during the school year. CDBG funds were used for the Lions
memorial Park Project to redo their walking paths. The walking paths were installed earlier this spring
along with outdoor workout machines.
There were no questions for staff at this time.
Chairman Donnelly opened the hearing to the subrecipients. Chairman Donnelly swore in the following
persons:
Greg Davenport / North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic / 3500 Western Ave Ste 2A, Highland Park
Mr. 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,

to needs of the community. He added that the agency now has more than 40 staff members, including

replied that the agency only has one physical location, but they do off-site presentations and meetings
in locations like the library.
Commissioner Weir asked if the agency also gathers funds from other communities. Mr. Davenport
stated that the budget this year will exceed $4 million and is all through charitable sources.
Commissioner Weir asked if the attorneys are employees of the agency or if they are volunteers. Mr.
Davenport replied that they have more than 20 licensed attorneys who are full-time employees and that
they also have a pro-bono department who recruit volunteer attorneys for events and a few others who
volunteer for 10-12 hours per week.

Ms. Gall noted that passenger donations only cover 25% of overall costs.
Commissioner Beattie asked how residents request a ride and Ms. Gall answered that residents
complete an application and once registered, they call the office and schedule a ride. Ms. Gall noted that
they require a minimum of a seven-day notice so that the volunteer drivers can schedule the ride. Ms.
Gall added that Connections to Care is a part of the Transportation Work Group as a part of the Aging in
Community Initiative. The Work Group has visited some of the low-income senior communities in

the Mount Prospect Library where they will give a presentation on their program. The agency works
Catholic Charities, the Kenneth Young Center, and local hospitals.
Rebecca Plascencia / Northwest Center Against Sexual Assault (Northwest CASA) / 415 W Golf Rd,

Ms. Plascencia expressed gratitude because the Village has been providing funding to Northwest CASA
for 15 years. She stated that the Northwest CASA is the local crisis center and has been around since
1975 serving survivors of sexual violence. She listed the functions of the organization, the first of which
were prevention services, where they are in the schools giving 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 sexual violence
intervention program, which includes counseling, medical and legal advocacy and the 24-hour hotline.
She stated that all Northwest CASA services are free. Ms. Plascencia shared that Northwest CASA was
awarded $1 million in capital funds, and they are looking for a new space to relocate their offices.
Commissioner Weir asked if the new space is for shelter space or an office space. Ms. Plascencia
answered that the new space will be their main administrative office, and hold counseling and medical
advocacy teams.

had about 250 calls.

Paula Bush/ North West Housing Partnership / 1701 E Woodfield Rd, Schaumburg
Ms. Bush thanked the Commission and staff for the invitation to speak about administration of the
Single -Family Rehabilitation program. She stated that North West Housing Partnership has brought
together private and public resources since 1990 to administer affordable housing programs. Currently
North West Housing Partnership administers housing rehabilitation programs on behalf of other
municipalities, including Schaumburg, Des Plaines, Hoffman Estates, Streamwood, and Skokie. She noted
they are proud to add Mount Prospect to the list. Ms. Bush stated that she has been with the agency for
16 years and has a HUD certification and an Executive Certification in home modification. The other
director at the agency holds an Executive Certification and a HUD certification in housing counseling,
and the project manager has over 20 years' experience as a project manager and inspector. Ms. Bush
stated that the agency partnered with Johns Hopkins University to provide the CAPABLE Project, which
brings a nurse, occupational therapist, and handyman to seniors' homes to help them age in place. She
noted they also administer a handyman program and home modification program for residents of
Mount Prospect. Ms. Bush relayed a story about a recent home rehabilitation project where an elderly
resident was able to repair and stay in their home thanks to CDBG funds. She concluded that the CDBG
program is a great program, and she looks forward to working with the Village of Mount Prospect.
Commissioner Beattie asked if there was a threshold to qualify for the program or how they select
homes to fix up. Ms. Bush responded that the client contacts them directly and goes through a
prequalification process to see if they are eligible. She explained that HUD has income requirements, so
the agency verifies their income, ensures they have a current mortgage, and up to date property taxes.
If they do not meet some of the program criteria, the agency will provide housing counseling to help
them get current.
Commissioner Beattie asked if the Village connects people to the agency. Ms. Bush answered that
sometimes the Village provides a referral, or clients find the program though networking, through public
presentations, or connections with senior communities
Ms. Lalagos stated that there were two subrecipients that were not able to attend the meeting, but they
submitted statements that she read on their behalf.
