Chairman Donnelly called the meeting to order at 7:01 PM. Vice Chairman Beattie made a motion
seconded by Commissioner Szymczak to approve the minutes from the Planning and Zoning Commission
meeting on March 28, 2024. The minutes were approved 4-0.
Chairman Donnelly introduced Case No. PZZ24-000008 / 206 Prairie Avenue / Conditional Use: Rear Yard
Setback Reduction
Ms. Choi stated the subject property was annexed into the Village of Mount Prospect in 2006 after it
was disconnected from the Village of Arlington Heights. In 2018, the subject property was created as a
part of a subdivision and rezoning approval that resulted in the formation of five R-1 zoned lots of
record. Four of those lots are residential and one lot of for storm water detention. These lots are
otherwise known as the Prairie Avenue Subdivision. As part of this approval, a portion of land was
dedicated to the Village for the Prairie Avenue cul-de-sac serving the five new lots, and the variations to
the front yard setback requirement were granted for three lots abutting the cul-de-sac. The subject
property is Lot 3 of the Prairie Avenue Subdivision and there is no building permit history as it has sat
vacant since the subdivision was created.

Ms. Choi showed a Code -Compliant Site plan and a proposed site plan with the proposed rear yard
setback.
Ms. Choi continued to explain that the Petitioner is considering to construct a home on the vacant lot of
the Prairie Avenue Subdivision. Along with the complete Code -compliant site plan, she continued to
explain that the home would have a separation distance of the proposed home and the current home
adjacent would be 15'. The Petitioner proposed to maximize the distance between the future residence
on the subject property and the recently constructed home to the east on Lot 4 by rotating the home
counter clock wise. This rotation of the home allows for a maximum separation of 26' 10" between the
homes. This would require a reduction of the rear yard setback from 25' to 20'. The residence to the
south of this lot of used for storm water detention, which is located around 42.5' feet away from the
home
Ms. Choi shared a floor plan of the proposed home and stated that the home will have a two -car garage
and will have a 2,000 square foot footprint. The kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms that face
northeast would benefit from a further separation between the two homes.
Further, she showed the proposed elevations for the home. The proposed elevations included views to
the north, south, east, and west.
A table was presented to the committee showing the bulk requirements for the R-1 Single Family
Residential district with the existing and proposed conditions of the subject property. Ms. Choi stated
that staff feels this request meets the standards for a conditional use and does not believe the
petitioner's request will be inconsistent with the character of the neighborhood. Further, the
petitioner's request conforms to all other bulk regulations other than the rear yard setback along the
west property line. She also stated that the adjacent homeowners have been notified of the request.
Finally, she stated that staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission make a motion to
recommend approval of the following:
A conditional use allow a twenty foot (20') rear yard setback at the property known as 206 Prairie
Avenue, subject to the follow conditions:
• The improvements shall be in general conformance with the plans and drawing prepared by
Reibel & Associates PC, bearing the latest revisions date of 3/29/2024, and meet all code
requirements, and
• Any future accessory structures to be located on the subject property shall satisfy all
applicable bulk requirements.
Ms. Choi stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision is final for this case.
Chairman Donnelly asked for clarification for the total area of the home which is going into the rear yard
setback is about 10' by 5', and Ms. Choi stated that a 10' by 5' triangle is what will be in the rear yard
setback.
Page 3 of 158
Commissioner Weir asked how the home will affect any future additions, such as an expansion of the
house. Ms. Choi stated that there was not a condition for an extension but the applicant was told
explicitly that any permitted obstructions, such as patios, would have to conform and would not be
granted a variation and staff would not support a request for variation.
Chairman Donnelly then stated that he would like the planning division to clarify with the petitioner that
the 25' rear yard setback is for any future additions, including decks and if they would like a second
flood, there is no overhang into that setback and that the square footage shown on the drawing is what
is permitted. If an addition is wanted by the petitioner, they would have to apply for another permit.
After staff finished answering questions from the committee, Chairman Donnelly swore in the
petitioner, Norman Hassinger, at 3550 Saltcreek Lane, Arlington Heights IL, and the homeowner, Keith
Calvert at 504 Hi Lusi Avenue, Mount Prospect IL, to explain their case for the conditional use permit.
Mr. Hassinger explained that there are currently three homes built in the Prairie Avenue Subdivision and
206 Prairie Avenue would be the last home built. He stated that if the Planning and zoning commission is
supportive of the plan, they plan to submit June 10, 2024 for a permit to build the home this year. Mr.
Hassinger also stated that he believes that the community will benefit from a 2 -story home and for a
family and architecturally will fit well with the other homes in the area.
Chairman Donnelly clarified that Mr. Hassigner is only asking for about 15 sq. ft. of the rear yard setback.
Mr. Hassigner stated Yes. He also continued to explain that the lot has a 151' rear yard area and that
there is plenty of room to the northeast to add a patio or another addition.
Chairman Donnelly stated that the commission really doesn't want the residents of the future home to
come back and request the use of the rear yard setback area. Mr. Hassigner stated that that will not
happen.
Chairman Donnelly asked Mr. Hassinger if he fully understood what the commission was approving and
if Mr. Hassinger was okay with the conditions of approval. He further stated that the setback is only 5'
for the home and not a complete setback along the entire rear yard. Mr. Hassinger stated that he
understood the conditions of approval.
Hearing no further comments or questions, Chairman Donnelly closed the hearing and asked for a roll
call following a motion to approve the conditional use for rear yard setback reduction.
Commissioner Weir motioned seconded by Chairman Scymczak to approve the conditional use for the
rear yard setback reduction per staff recommendation.
UPON ROLL CALL AYES: Szymczak, Weir, Miller, Donnelly
NAYS: None
The motion was approved by a vote of 4-0.

The Community Development Department has drafted the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program Year (PY) 2024 Action Plan, which will include CDBG funding allocations for a number of social service
and non-profit organizations. These organizations have been invited to attend the June 27, 2024 public hearing
to make a brief presentation and answer questions from the Commission and general public regarding their
applications for CDBG funds.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has the responsibility to review requests for funding from non -Village
agencies and to make recommendations with respect to such requests. To assist the Commission in the review
of the PY 2024 CDBG applications, staff has provided the following documents:
• Attachment 1: Draft PY 2024 CDBG Action Plan
• Attachment 2: Proposed PY 2024 CDBG Budget
• Attachment 3: Table of PY 2024 CDBG Funding Requests
• Attachment 4: PY 2024 CDBG Applications
CDBG BACKGROUND
The Village of Mount Prospect is classified as an entitlement community and receives an annual allocation of
federal funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Village of Mount Prospect 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan describes the general
needs, resources, priorities and proposed activities to be addressed through the CDBG Program over a five-year
period. The complete 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan is available on the Village website. Each year the Village is
required to submit an Annual Action Plan to HUD, which proposes eligible activities to be undertaken in the
upcoming program year and addresses the priority needs identified in the five-year plan.
PROGRAM YEAR 2024 ACTION PLAN
The draft Program Year 2024 Action Plan (Attachment 1) outlines the specific use of CDBG funds for the time
period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. CDBG funds may only be used for eligible activities that

address at least one of three national objectives for the CDBG program: 1) benefit to low- and moderate -income
(LMI) persons; 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3) meet a need having a particular
urgency. The Village's responsibility for the CDBG funds is to ensure that Mount Prospect residents, specifically
those qualifying as low- and moderate -income, are benefiting from the grant.
As part of the Action Plan development, the Planning and Zoning Commission is asked to review requests for
funding from the non -Village agencies. The proposed CDBG Budget for PY 2024 is shown on Attachment 2 and
summarized below. Funding sources consist of the annual entitlement grant, program income, and carry-over
funds. Program income is generated from the repayment of loans issued by the Single Family Rehabilitation Loan
Program.
Proposed CDBG Budget for PY 2024
Priority Needs

Homelessness/Continuum of Care
$21,000
Public Services
$21,293
Affordable Housing
$50,000
Public Improvements
$165,792
TOTAL
$283,285
The amount of funding that can be allocated to public service activities is limited to 15% of the annual CDBG
allocation ($268,066 for PY 2024) plus 15% of the previous year's program income ($15,219 for PY 2023).
Therefore, the maximum amount available for public service programs is $42,493, approximately 50% of the
total amount requested by public services applicants. The amount of funding that can be allocated to other non-
public service activities varies depending on the type of project.
PY2024 CDBG APPLICATION EVALUATION
The Village received nine subrecipient applications. All funded activities must meet the following HUD
requirements:
1. The activity must be included within the listing of CDBG eligible activities;
2. The activity must meet at least one of the national objectives of the CDBG program;
3. 70% of CDBG expenditures must be for activities that will benefit low- and moderate -income
persons;
4. The costs of the activity must appear to be necessary and reasonable;
5. The applicant agency has demonstrated satisfactory current and/or past performance;
6. The activity must address a priority identified in the Village's CDBG 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan.
Staff utilizes additional criteria to evaluate the subrecipient applications in addition to the above HUD
requirements.
7. Does the administrative capacity of the agency allow for efficient use of funds and compliance with
monitoring responsibilities?
8. Does the activity overlap with services provided by other public agencies or government?
9. 'But for' this funding, would the agency be able to provide this activity to Mount Prospect residents?
10. Does the activity fill a gap in services where community needs are not being met?
The CDBG application comparison and preliminary staff recommendations are included as Attachment 3.

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) 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)
Page 13 of 158
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
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 14 of 158
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 will take place from June 3 through July 2, 2024. The draft plan will be
available on the Village website and hard copies will be available at the Mount Prospect Public Library
and at Village Hall. The Village will hold a Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting on June 27, 2024 to
discuss the proposed CDBG budget for PY2024. The Action Plan will proceed to the Village Board for a
second public hearing on July 16, 2024. The meetings will be televised on the Village's cable station and
the recording 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.
The PY2024 Annual Action Plan attachments will contain the minutes of the Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting to be held June 27, 2024 and the Village Board meeting to be held July 16, 2024.

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 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)
Page 18 of 158
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.
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 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.

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 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

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)
Page 42 of 158
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.

Mount Prospect Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.
A. Program 1 Project
1. Description
Describe the particular program / project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has
several components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. This should not be a description of the
applicant organization as a whole. Rather, provide a description of the specific program / project for which
funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
Connections to Care (formerly Escorted Transportation Service NW) provides accompanied rides for the elderly
and especially the frail elderly who can no longer drive to their medical and dental appointments. Connections to
Care drivers are trained volunteers who pick passengers up at their home, wait for them during their
appointment, and return them back home. If needed, they can also stop at a pharmacy on the way back from
the appointment. Connections to Care volunteers treat their passengers like family. Riders have the option of
sitting in the front seat and Connections to Care drivers provide a supportive environment, a compassionate ear
and sounding board as well as much needed social interaction. Each ride we take provides our Riders with four
points of contact. Scheduling the ride, confirming the name of the volunteer with the passenger the week before,
the volunteer confirming pick up details, and finally the ride. Since many passengers have hearing, vision,
memory and/or mobility loss, they rely on our volunteers to help them navigate the often complex medical
facilities and physician offices.
Our unique transportation service is offered in 14 NW Cook County municipalities which include 4 Townships
and 5 medical centers. Unlike other transportation services for seniors, we cross township boundaries in taking
passengers to their medical appointments. Over the past 17 years, we have provided more than 36,000 critical
services rides, allowing our elderly to age in place while caring for their health.
While anyone 60 years old or older can apply for our service, our average passenger is 85, on a low fixed
income, and can no longer drive or take public transportation. Many are also unable to rely on family members or
friends to take them to their numerous appointments. This is an expanding population that is often marginalized
and underserved. Prior to Covid-19, requests for rides grew at 5%-7% annually. We anticipate this growth rate
will resume as we continue to build from Covid. We are aggressively expanding our services to clients for their
medical appointments. We are excited to be part of the Village of Mount Prospect Age Friendly Transportation
Task Force. We are visiting local Mount Prospect low income housing sites to provide an overview of our
services with other agencies.
Between 10/01/2022 and 09/30/2023 Connections to Care provided 222 rides to 24 individual Mount Prospect
residents, many of whom utilized the service multiple times. These Mt. Prospect individuals represented 13.3 %
of all Connections to Care passengers and 10.2 % of all Connections to Care rides.

2. Does this program / project serve residents of the Village of Mount Prospect?
® Yes
❑ No
3. Describe any additional criteria for your program / project.
Our clients must live within our service area, be at least 60 years old and can get in and out of a car unassisted.
They must fill out a brief application. A $7.50 per one-way ride donation is requested of our clients. However,
those who are unable to donate are never turned away. Therefore, our program is available to all qualified Mt.
Prospect residents, regardless of income.
4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Mount Prospect?
Connections to Care office is located in Arlington Heights in the Senior Center. 13.3 % of our riders during the
past year were Mount Prospect residents. In addition, we bring frail older adult residents from the 13 other
municipalities we serve to doctors, dentists and medical facilities in Mount Prospect, including Northwest
Community Healthcare's extensive network of offices and Immediate Care Center in Mount Prospect.
5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
agencies provide(s) similar services? Explain how service duplication of clients is avoided.
No. Although Mount Prospect and other municipalities and Townships in our service area provide different kinds
of transportation to seniors, Connections to Care is the only service using a one-on-one approach. Our drivers,
all of whom are volunteers, drive their own personal vehicles to help get Mount Prospect's frail older adults to
and from their medical and/or dental appointments. We are also the only service whose drivers wait for the
passenger. Our services compliment and supplement the other transportation services available to the older
adults of Mount Prospect.

NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 18 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.
4. How would CDBG funds be used to address the needs of lowlmoderate-income Mount Prospect
residents (i.e., households with annual incomes at or below the amounts above)?
All of the CDBG funds will go toward helping us serve current and new passengers. Our passengers are not
charged a fee, rather they are asked for a $7.50 donation for each one-way ride. This is an amount that is
affordable to most of our fixed income passengers and those unable to donate are still able to use our service.
Our passenger donations only covered less than 25% of the actual cost per ride. CDBG funds will go toward
covering the other 75%.
5. If you receive CDBG funds, will they be used to serve Mount Prospect residents that have not been
previously served using CDBG funds?
We are aggressively expanding our services to clients of Mount Prospect for their medical appointments. We
are excited to be part of the Village of Mount Prospect Age Friendly Transportation Task Force. We are visiting
local Mount Prospect low income housing sites to provide an overview of our services with other agencies.
These funds will help serve Mount Prospect residents that have not previously used Connections to Cares
services.

as much as they can, but no one is turned away due to an inability to donate all or part of the $7.50.
*Any client fees collected must be used for program costs.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Program 1 Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection should reflect theup rpose of your agency's proposed program /project.)
® Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
❑ Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
❑ Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program I Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
® Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
❑ Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate. This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
❑ Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.

1. Description
Describe the particular program / project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has

funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
The Children's Advocacy Center of North an Northwest Cook County (CAC)'s Mental Health program provides
specialized trauma therapy services to children ages 0-17 who have survived abuse and other forms of violence.
CAC accepts the majority of its mental health referrals from its core services program (Forensic and Advocacy
Services) following a child's forensic interview during an active criminal investigation. However, outside referrals
from law enforcement, DCFS, schools, and other social service agencies are accepted if they meet case criteria.
Services are provided in Spanish and English. All services are free of charge to clients. CAC Trauma Therapists
hold a master's degree in social work, mental health counseling, or psychology. Additionally, they must hold a
professional license or be licensure eligible receiving weekly clinical supervision. The completion of a 40 hour
training in an evidence -based trauma therapy model must be completed within 6 months of hire. Screening and
assessment are key to identifying clients who need CAC's specialized services. A detailed biopsychosocial
assessment is completed for individualized treatment planning along with psychotmetrics. Treatment plan
reviews are done routinely. A utilization review for on-going services is done at 20 sessions; outcomes of the
review include extended trauma therapy services, termination, or outside referrals. Funding is being sought to
support personnel costs for the program's Trauma Therapists.
2. Previous CDBG Funding

Application
Mount Prospect Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Prograrn
All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.
A. Program I Project
Description
Describe the particular program / project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has
several components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. This should not be a description of the
applicant organization as a whole. Rather, provide a description of the specific program / project for which
funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
JOURNEYS is a non-profit organization that aims to end and prevent suburban homelessness for residents of
Mount Prospect, and 36 surrounding communities. As the sole provider of a comprehensive and therapeutic
Continuum of Care, we are experts at building resiliency, improving self-reliance, and breaking the cycle of
homelessness through our four interconnected programs: emergency shelter, inteirm housing, supportive
housing, and wrap around social services. Services are available to anyone experiencing a housing crisis,
whether homeless or at -risk. Our most sought after program is the HOPE Day Center, a drop-in social service
and counseling center that meets the emergency and long term needs of families and individuals experiencing a
housing crisis.
The HOPE Center provides our clients access to everything JOURNEYS offers, including over 60 services such
as mental health and substance use counseling, on-site health care provided by a Heartland Alliance Advance
Practice Nurse, school advocacy, vocational counseling, food pantry, clothing closet, showers, laundry, housing
assistance, and long-term case management, and connection to our shelter and supportive housing programs.
All services are free, and services are available as long as the client needs them, HOPE Center services, such
as food pantry, are also available to clients after obtaining housing in order to provide them with a continuous
safety net of support.
The overall goal of the HOPE Center is to coordinate supplemental, supportive social services for clients to
assist them on their journeys to housing stability.
Each client that presents to the agency is need is assigned a case manager based on their individual needs.
Clients work with their case managers to track and manage progress on meeting their short- and long-term
goals. Similarly, client intakes, progress, notes, services, and goals are recorded through the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database.
This year, as a result of an increase in people experiencing a housing crisis in our community, we are seeing an
increase in request for our HOPE Center services, with a 121 % increase in food pantry requests, 84% increase
in case management, and 127% increase in health care services. We have expanded our service hours to
include evening, weekend, and holiday hours to meet these needs,

C. Program / Project Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc,):
The HOPE Day Center provides clients with access to 60 wrap-around social services that address both critical
and long-term needs as we work with clients to help them obtain and keep permanent housing, HOPE Center
services include case management, school advocacy, transportation assistance, bike repair, healthcare, and
various counseling services such as mental health, substance abuse, benefits, vocational, and housing
counseling. Through the HOPE Center, clients also have access to the food pantry, clothing closet, hair cuts,
mail, laundry facility, and shower facility,
In FY 23, the HOPE Center delivered 15,843 services, averaging 17 services per client, and serving 927
individuals. The top five services through the HOPE Center in FY 23 included 5,890 long-term case
management sessions, 3,150 housing counseling sessions, 1,464 showers, 1,373 street outreach services, and
1,174 clothing closet visits. There were also 758 visits to the food pantry, proving there is no singular solution to
helping those who are housing insecure, All clients may receive warm meals 7 days a week, including on
holidays. JOURNEYS does not believe in a "one -size -fits -all -all" solution to homelessness, which is why the
HOPE Center remains one of our most significant programs by allowing clients to receive so many services in
one location.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Program / Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection;should reflect thepurpos of your agency's proposed program 1project.)
Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services, Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program / Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
❑ Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate, This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.

Mount Prospect Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.
A. Program I Project
1. Description
Describe the particular program / project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has
several components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. This should not be a description of the
applicant organization as a whole. Rather, provide a description of the specific program / project for which
funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
The Comprehensive Civil Legal Aid program encompasses all of NSLAC's activities, which include civil legal
services in the areas of domestic violence, housing, and immigration, as well as frequent guardianship and
advanced directives clinics organized by our pro bono team. NSLAC has been active in Mount Prospect since
2017 and has so far helped more than 150 vulnerable Mount Prospect residents receive legal services they
would otherwise not have been able to afford.
NSLAC received its first Mount Prospect CDBG award in the 2022-2023 grant cycle. The partnership has been a
success and a model referenced with other organizations. The intention for pursuing this specific CDBG funding
is twofold. NSLAC does not charge fees for services, every additional dollar helps reach more clients in need.
Also, through CDBG grant activities, NSLAC has enhanced its awareness and relationships with community
leaders. These steps have led to new collaborative programming, such as the off-site clinics, and cases involving
Mount Prospect residents has risen significantly since the first CBDG award. In all of 2022, NSLAC had 18
clients from Mount Prospect. For the 2022-2023 grant cycle, NSLAC provided services to 58 residents. NSLAC
is again on pace to match or exceed the 2022-2023 levels of services in this current grant period.
Below is a brief description of the practice areas and types of services that NSLAC offers.
Domestic Violence: The DV Practice focuses on cases involving personal safety for survivors and their children
including Emergency and Plenary Orders of Protection, divorce, custody, and other family law matters. There are
no income requirements for survivors of domestic violence, as they often do not have access to familial assets.
the DV support team, which now includes two licensed social worker, conducts education and outreach
activities, builds community partnerships, and assists survivors in securing additional supportive resources. In
the 2022-2023 grant period, the DV Practice opened 16 cases for Mount Prospect residents.
Housing: The Housing Practice assists with landlord/tenant relations including evictions, lease disputes,
lockouts, and wrongful retaliation. Nearly 60% of all cases opened by the Housing Practice involve eviction
matters. Even when an eviction is not avoidable, having NSLAC's representation can help negotiate favorable
move out dates and seal the case, helping a client gain new housing and avoid the spiraling effects of
homelessness. NSLAC's Housing clients are uniquely vulnerable - compared to other clients, they are on
average 11 years older and 3x more likely to have a disability. To help address the challenges surrounding these
characteristics, the Housing Practice added a licensed social worker to the practice in the fall of 2023. The social
worker has made an immediate impact, most notably helping clients research and secure new affordable
housing opportunities. In the 2022-2023 grant period, the Housing Practice opened 16 cases for Mount Prospect
residents.
Immigration: The Immigration Practice provides family -based petitions, adjustments of status, Temporary
Protected Status, U- and T -nonimmigrant status, VAWA petitions, and asylum cases, among others. Since
NSLAC does not receive funds from the Legal Services Corporation, we are able to serve clients regardless of
4
Page 89 of 158
their immigration status. The team conducts outreach to the immigrant community through presentations and
community events. In the 2022-2023 grant period, the Immigration Practice opened 37 cases for Mount Prospect
residents.
Pro Bono: NSLAC has a robust network of pro bono attorneys who assist clients in all three of our practices. In
the past two years, the team has grown to a team of three, including a full-time pro bono manager, pro bono
coordinator and practice assistant. Collectively, NSLAC's pro clinics and trainings have averaged more than 100
annual volunteers in the past two years. In October of 2023, NSLAC's Pro Bono team conducted a Powers of
Attorney clinic in partnership with Mount Prospect and volunteers from Abbot and Matlin Law Group.
2024-2025 Programmatic Goals:
1) Continue holding 1 Mount Prospect clinic per month
2) Directly serve 4-5 clients through Mount Prospect CDBG funding. NSLAC is averaging $1,375 in total
expenses per case opened. A $5,000 award would fund approxmately 4-5 cases.
3) Serve 40-50 Mount Prospect residents in total
Beyond the numerical goals, are the individual clients lives impacted by free legal aid services. Below is a recent
story of impact involving a Mount Prospect resident.
North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic's (NSLAC) Client was a mother to two young children. Her partner's abusive
behavior had escalated over time, from verbal and emotional abuse, to physical and sexual acts of violence. The
abusive partner harmed her in front of the children, even while she was holding a child. NSLAC's Client was
successful in gaining an Emergency Order of Protection on her own, but reached out to NSLAC to assist with
extending the order of protection and gaining parental protections for her children. NSLAC provided full
representation to the Client at no cost, and was able to finalize an agreement which granted the Client and her
children the safety they deserve.
2. Previous CDBG Funding
Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
Mount Prospect)?
Yes. Cook County CDBG, Waukegan CDBG, Lake County CDBG, Mount Prospect CDBG.
3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
❑ Yes
® No
If so, please specify how funds will be used.
5
Page 90 of 158
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency's service area, listing any municipalities served.
North Suburban Legal Aid Clinic (NSLAC) serves clients living in Lake County and the northern suburbs of Cook
County.
2. Does this program / project serve residents of the Village of Mount Prospect?
® Yes
❑ No
3. Describe any additional criteria for your program / project.
To be elegible for services, clients must live at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. In 2024, this equates
to a household income of $78,000 for a family of four. There are no income requirements, however, for a victim
of domestic violence, as a survivor in crisis may not have access to familial assets.
4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Mount Prospect?
All of NSLAC's services are available to Mount Prospect residents. NSLAC does not rent or own physical space
in Mount Prospect, however, NSLAC has coordinated virtual clinics with the Village of Mount Prospect. Through
this partnership, NSLAC and the Village market regular opportunities for virtual meetings with NSLAC's staff.
Prospective clients are able to meet at the Village to receive technical assistance, while NSLAC staff are
standing by for the schedule time to address questions and/or schedule intakes. Additionally, NSLAC conducts
regular outreach activities, often in partnership with another social service provider. These relationships are
critical as legal services are rarely the first point of contact for a client in crisis. In the calendar year 2023, more
than 70% of all cases opened were referred to NSLAC by an service partners, a list that totaled 143 unique
organizations. An example of a recent outreach activity in Mount Propsect is an Immigration Know Your Rights
presentation conducted at the Mount Prospect Community Connections Center.
5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
agencies provide(s) similar services? Explain how service duplication of clients is avoided.
NSLAC builds relationships and communication networks with many aligning non -profits, which reduces
duplication of services and connects clients with the resources best suited to their situation. In the Chicago metro
area, there are other legal aid providers with similar missions, such as Legal Aid Chicago and Prairie State Legal
Services. However, there are limited legal aid providers overlapping NSLAC's service area, specifically the areas
served by the Skokie, Rolling Meadows, and Lake County courthouses. The demand for free legal aid in these
communities still far outweighs the capacity of NSLAC and aligned partners. Additionally, NSLAC fills an
important niche in the service area in that all practice areas can accept clients regardless of immigration status,
and the income threshold for eligibility, 250% of the poverty level, is higher than some other organizations and
allows us to serve more people.

C. Program 1 Project Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc.):
NSLAC provides direct legal services to low-income at risk clients in the practice areas of Domestic Violence,
Housing, and Immigration. A case opened can represent a one hour counsel and advice session with a licensed
attorney, to years long representation for an asylum (immigration) or divorce case (domestic violence). Types of
cases opened include but are not limited to orders of protection, divorces, custody, wrongful eviction, security
deposits, citizenship, U Visas, and asylum.
In addition to the legal services provided, each practice area has at least one licensed social worker or a
resource coordinator. This position is responsible for assisting clients with ancillary needs, such as food, shelter,
or counseling. NSLAC's social workers and resource coordinators track outcomes such but not limited to referals
completed, housing obtained, and rental assistance obtained.
2. Complete the following table for low- and moderate -income persons to be assisted under the program/
project for which funding is requested, excluding persona whose assistance is limited to indirect
services such as information and referrals.
3. Please state anticipated cost per client per service for the 2024-25 program year.
In 2023, NSLAC averaged approximately $1,375 in total expenses per case opened. This coefficient can
fluctuate each year based on the types of cases opened, but the ratio has remained fairly consistent the past few
years. When analyzed individually, each case opened can have a very different cost associated. A case opened
could involve a 1 -hour counsel and advice session, to an asylum or divorce case which can take months/years to
resolve.

4. How would CDBG funds be used to address the needs of low/moderate-income Mount Prospect
residents (i.e., households with annual incomes at or below the amounts above)?
To be eligible for services, clients must live at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, which in 2024 equates
to a household income of $78,000 for a family of four. There are no income limits for a victim of domestic
violence as a survivor in crisis may not have access to familial assets, though the majority are low income.

Low/Moderate-Income $61,800 $70,600 $79,450 $88,250 $95,350 $102,400 $109,450 $116,500
NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 18 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.
4. How would CDBG funds be used to address the needs of low/moderate-income Mount Prospect
residents (i.e., households with annual incomes at or below the amounts above)?
To be eligible for services, clients must live at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, which in 2024 equates
to a household income of $78,000 for a family of four. There are no income limits for a victim of domestic
violence as a survivor in crisis may not have access to familial assets, though the majority are low income.

Page 92 of 158
Based on these guidelines, all of NSLAC's clients would fall below the shared 2023 Income Limits for
Low/Moderate-Income Households. NSLAC does not charge fees for services, removing a significant barrier to
accessing legal services.
5. If you receive CDBG funds, will they be used to serve Mount Prospect residents that have not been
previously served using CDBG funds?
NSLAC uses cases opened as a key metric for clients/served in a given time period. This performance indicator
is useful as the statistic can be compared across different periods and cross referenced with various
demographic data. In general, an increase in cases opened indicates a high level of need paired with strong
community relationships and quality services. Though rare, NSLAC is open to supporting multiple cases, across
different practice areas. While not impossible, it is very rare that a client reported for a previous grant period,
returns for services in a different grant period.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Program/ Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection should reflect the up roose of your agency's proposed program /project.)
® Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
❑ Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
❑ Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program 1 Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
❑ Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
® Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate. This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
❑ Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.

funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
NVVCASA requests funds to suppport our ongoing Sexual Violence intervention Program which provides
specialized counseling, crisis intervention, and advocacy services for Mount Prospect residents who are victims
of sexual abuse and/or sexual assault. All services are available in both English and Spanish and all services are
provided free of charge to those who need them. The goal of this program is to reduce revictimization within
institutions and provide free resources and channels for healing from sexual violence trauma.
Counseling is offered for individuals, families, and groups both in-person and virtually. All counseling is provided
by specially trained masters level therapists who have expertise in working with sexual violence victims of all
demographics. In addition to staff, NWCASA has 2 master level volunteer therapists to help alleviate the waiting
list.
Crisis intervention is provided 2417 through our hotline that is operated by volunteers and staff. All hotline crisis
counselors receive 40 hours of specialized training prior to working on the hotline. All volunteers are supervised
by our Advocacy Team Supervisor who has training and experience in crisis intervention and advocacy. In
addition, volunteers receive quarterly in-service training.
Advocacy services include 2417 emergency room response to 11 area hospitals and 2417 criminal justice
advocacy on behalf of victims who are at the police station or whose cases are being adjudicated in court both at
the Roling Meadows and Skokie courthouses. Advocacy services are provided by trained staff and volunteers
and are available in both English and Spanish.

under the Illinois absolute privilege statute. This provides victims with stronger protections and more control over
their lives. Victims can confide in rape crisis center staff knowing that they run little risk of having those
communications disclosed publicly unless they consent to such disclosure.

Describe the particular program I project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has

Northwest Compass is humbly requesting financial assistance for programs and services under our Housing
Program which stabilizes residents of the Village of Mount Prospect who are experiencing a housing crisis
ranging from homelessness to housing instability. Northwest Compass offers programs in three major
categories: Stabilization, Empowerment, and Housing by providing crisis intervention, comprehensive solution -
focused case management, counseling and assistance to people experiencing housing instability or
homelessness and connecting them to housing options, resources, and various essential supportive services.
Our housing program specifically focuses on housing counseling, homelessness diversion and prevention,
housing navigation, rapid re -housing, and immediate short-term rent assistance to aid individuals and families at
risk of becoming homeless for the first time or assist them to exit homelessness as quickly as possible.
The program also facilitates Transitional Living, Permanent Supportive Housing, and Youth Housing
Demonstration Project components. In addition, we offer wrap-around services and care coordination in order to
provide the client with the needed additional assistance and support they may need outside of housing.
Supportive services include job readiness, career counseling, financial education, referrals to mental health or
substance abuse services, assistance with applying for mainstream benefits, clothing vouchers, transportation
assistance, and more. Providing supportive services to address a variety of needs can allow clients to make
better informed choices and build a foundation toward creating a stable and sustainable future.
We are the lead agency in the North and the only walk-in center for anyone in Suburban Cook County including
residents of Mount Prospect who are in need of housing assistance. Ours is the only program that provides
individual counseling, assistance, and education for a clientele experiencing homelessness as a partner in the
Coordinated Entry Initiative in the Cook County area. In recent years, residents of Mount Prospect seeking
services is growing. We are working with Mount Prospect families struggling to pay rent, living in their cars or
doubling up, people seeking shelter outdoors, at -risk youth, as well as residents working multiple jobs that still
cannot make ends meet or find affordable housing.We serve each individual with respect and understand that
oftentimes all it takes is one major unexpected expense that can put households in crisis. Some families are
unable to meet their housing financial obligation due to a temporary hardship such as an illness or loss of
employment. All residents of Mount Prospect who are experiencing a housing crisis are eligible for our housing
program and supportive services. We do not turn people away.
To be eligible for housing assistance toward rent, the resident must meet the eligibility criteria of being currently
homeless, "homeless with a roof'(as defined by HUD), or in danger of being evicted.
Currently, we operate 10 apartments that are part of the Permanent Supportive Housing "PSH", Transitional
Housing "TH", Youth "YHDP", and Rapid Rehousing "RRH" programs. These programs embrace the "housing
first" approach which prioritizes providing housing to the most vulnerable and is guided by the belief that people
need basic necesitites like shelter and food before they can seek employment or improve their budgeting skills,
for example. Participating clients can be confident in the web of support we provide them with. Our caseworkers
are available to listen, support, and guide our participants as they move through life's challenges. Clients in our
housing program are assisted with solution -focused case management on an as -needed basis, generally in
intervals of one hour, which can vary in duration depending on the household's needs; these meetings typically
4
Page 110 of 158
occur bi-monthly or as needed. Clients that qualify for financial assistance for rent or mortgage may receive up to
one month's worth of assistance.
Northwest Compass is currently working on addressing the issue of homelessness of our youth (ages 18-24).
Our HYPE Program (Helping Youth on the Path to Empowerment) focuses on helping the invisible yet growing
population of youth experiencing homelessness and/or housing instability. To further enhance the work done
with unaccompanied youth, beginning with those in high school and up to age 24, we started the Suburban
Youth Networking Coalition (SYNC). This coaltion of community partners (local libraries, social service
organizations, police departments, etc) gather bi-monthly to support and empower youth through a coordinated
effort to inscrease access to services.

B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency's service area, listing any municipalities served.
Northwest Compass is the lead agency providing programs to the underserved low-income populations in the
Northwest Suburbs of Cook County for over 38 years. Municipalities we serve include Barrington, Elk Grove
Village, Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Wheeling, Roselle, Mount Prospect, Hoffman Estates, Streamwood,
Des Plaines, Park Ridge, Rolling Meadows, Schaumburg, and Wheeling.
2. Does this program 1 project serve residents of the Village of Mount Prospect?
® Yes
❑ No
3. Describe any additional criteria for your program 1 project.
Direct client funding assistance towards rent and mortgage payments depends on the requirements of our
funding sources. All residents of the Village of Mount Prospect who are experiencing a chousing crisis or
homelessness qualify for counseling services and assistance through our housing programs. In order to be
eligible, participants must reside within the boundaries of the Village of Mount Prospect, fulfill low-income
guidelines used by CDBG, be in danger of being evicted, in a housing crisis, or experiencing homelessness (as
defined by HUD).
4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Mount Prospect?
All programs and services are provided based out of our office in Mount Prospect located at 1300 W Northwest
Highway. All of our services are available to and frequently utilized by residents of the Village of Mount Prospect.
In fact, each year we are serving more individuals in Mount Prospect than we propose to serve because the
need is so great and continues to grow and outpace our expectations.
5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
agencies provide(s) similar services? Explain how service duplication of clients is avoided.
Northwest Compass is the lead agency and ONLY walk-in center in the North (one of only 4 walk-in centers total
in the Suburban Cook County area for Coordinated Entry - a HUD mandate initiative to coordinate housing and
supportive services in the Suburban Cook area. As such, all social service organizations receiving HUD and
State funding are required to refer clients experiencing a housing crisis to an agency such as ours to coordinate
housing options and provide access to housing services. We are the ONLY agency that is providing street
outreach to people who are homeless. Over 85% of the phone calls and in-person visits to Northwest Compass
consist of requests for services associated with acquiring the necessary resources to stay in their homes. Due to
the increasing costs of living in our area it is difficult for some individuals and families to make ends meet even
while working multiple jobs. We have seen an increased number of families living in poverty in the Northwest
Suburbs and the demand for our services is now even greater and our resources are stretched thin now more
than ever due to the expiration of Covid relief funds.
Northwest Compass has many partners in the North Suburbs. These agencies provide limited housing
counseling and often restrict their services based on the requirement of active homelessness, length of
homelessness, gender, age, and a variety of limiting factors. Northwest Compass offers services with no
restrictions and operates under the banner of "Turn No One Away".

1. Program 1 Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection should reflect theup rpose of your agency's proposed program /project.)
❑ Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
® Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
❑ Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program 1 Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
❑ Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
® Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
❑ Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.

as well as greater access to outdoor space. The improved access to outdoor space will also support residents to
comfortably age -in-place and reside in the home for years to come.
Search's Supported Living program currently operates 27 community-based living arrangements for 165 people
with intellectual and developmental disabilities, supporting full, meaningful and active lives in the community. We
ensure the health, safety and well-being of the individuals who participate in this program through the delivery of
24/7 support services.
Search has eight (8) CILA homes located in Mount Prospect, in addition to our largest Adult Learning program
site at 625 Slawin Court. The Andoa residence is home to four men with intellectual and developmental
disabilities. This project is identified as a key accessibility project that would allow the men easier, safer access
to and from the home, as well as greater accessibility to enjoy the outdoor space. We want to avoid any safety
concerns for the long-term residents of this home, creating a comfortable environment to remain in the home for
many years and age -in-place.

NOTE: Household income is the total income, of all household members 18 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, manage, or adoption.
4. How would CDBG funds be used to address the needs of low/moderate-income Mount Prospect
residents (i.e., households with annual incomes at or below the amounts above)?
Search supports an underserved population of individuals with IDD, including individuals with autism, sensory
defensiveness and communication challenges. 100% of the 350 individuals with IDD we support are
economically disadvantaged and low-income.
The people we support have substantial functional limitations in at least one of the following areas: self-care,
self-direction, capacity for independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. For those in our Supported Living
program specifically, these individuals rely on Search to meet their basic needs, including providing meals, safe
housing and coordinating medical appointments. Additionally, we have a large aging population. 38% of our
individuals are 35-55 years old, and 37% are 55+ years old, with only 25% in the range of 18-35 years old. Our
goal at Search is for all individuals to have stability in their living environment and age -in-place alongside staff
they are comfortable with.
Mount Prospect CDBG funds will directly reach the population named above, all of whom are low -to -moderate
income and live in Mount Prospect. This CDBG funding will make significant improvements to the home of Mount
Prospect residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities, fostering a healthy environment that supports
their overall well-being.
Page 131 of 158
5. If you receive CDBG funds, will they be used to serve Mount Prospect residents that have not been

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Program / Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection should reflect theup rpose of your agency's proposed program /project.)
® Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
❑ Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
❑ Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program / Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
® Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
❑ Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate. This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
❑ Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.

Mount Prospect Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.
A. Program/ Project
Description
Describe the particular program / project for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele,
duration, and goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program / project. If the project has
several components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. This should not be a description of the
applicant organization as a whole. Rather, provide a description of the specific program / project for which
funding is being sought and how that funding would be used.
WINGS is seeking funding to support the residents fleeing domestic violence through WINGS Safe Houses. The
purpose of WINGS Safe House is to provide emergency shelter for 90-120 days and integrative services. Upon
contacting the IL DV Hotline, victims and their children are reserved a spot for 24 hours to arrive at the Safe
House. Upon entering the Safe House they are connected to a Family Advocate (case manager) and Child
Advocate (children's case manager) when appropriate. Over the course of their stay the Survivor and children
are connected to a menu of resources through a trauma informed lens with the goal to achieve self -sustainability
and financial security through supportive services provide by WINGS' case management. Once the Survivor is
ready to leave emergency shelter, they are introduced to WINGS housing options and/or our community partners
housing options.
According to The Network's 2022 Annual Report, 37,236 contacts were made to the IL Domestic Violence
Hotline resulting in a 15% increase in contacts over 2021. While the pandemic mitigations have lifted, the
combined the rippling effects (employment loss and housing instability) of the pandemic have not - resulting in a
continued increase in the threat of domestic violence.The continued increase of domestic violence experiences
are compounded by victims displaying increased needs of mental healthcare. In FY23, WINGS Safe House
clients demonstrated 30% experiencing suicidial ideation, 13% substance abuse, 57% mental illness.
WINGS serves any Survivor and their children fleeing Domestic Violence. WINGS does not discriminate
regardless of their age, race, gender, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQI+, Veteran Status, Immigration Status, little- to
no English speaking or LMI. In FY23, WINGS client's demographics were broken down as: 44% African
American, 13% Caucasian; 28% Hispanic; 2% Asian; 8% 2+ more races; less than 1 % Native American and less
than 1 % Pacific Islander and 4% Unreported. Each service is provided through a trauma informed lens
empowering the Survivor to take charge of creating their own goals and launching their healing trajectory.
Services include but are not limited to; Counseling (individual, adult, child, group, family); case management
(creating and revising goals and safety planning); access to resources and Main Stream resources (clothes,
toiletries, OTC medications, food); Advocacy (legal, child, housing, financial) and Education (Domestic Violence,
Employment, Financial).
Since 1985, WINGS has relied upon its Mission and its ability to pivot and create new partnerships and
programs to best serve its clients. WINGS Mission is to provide housing, integrative services, advocacy and
education to end Domestic Violence. In FY21, WINGS initiated Survivor Life Line to provide a Lived Experience
Mentor to current clients, in FY23 WINGS initiated an Adult Counseling program and in FY24 WINGS opened
the Foglia Family Resource Center. WINGS offers safety planning, counseling, Children and Family Services
programs, support groups and parenting education at the new state -of -the art facility. Over 38 years WINGS has
developed partnerships with community and government partners to provide services that may be beyond
WINGS' scope. A few examples of these partnerships includes Northwest Compass, Apna Ghar, Center on
Halsted and Jesse Brown VA.

area that can accommodate adult male Survivors and teen male Survivors age 13 and older.
In Fiscal Year 2023 WINGS provided 1,219 program participants with 92,960 nights of emergency, transitional
and permanent supportive housing along with individualized and comprehensive services. Recognizing that
Survivors of domestic violence and homelessness all face different barriers to stability, WINGS offers a
continuum of services including two emergency shelters, 139 units of housing across Metropolitan Chicago,
counseling, financial guidance, legal advocacy, career development, life skills, mentoring, Community Based
Services and a comprehensive Children and Family Services Program.
In FY24 WINGS opened the Foglia Family Resource Center. WINGS offers safety planning, counseling, Children
and Family Services programs, support groups and parenting education at the new state -of -the art facility. The
Resource Center is specifically designed for victims preparing to leave their abuser and for Survivors who have
secured their own housing. Refined over 38 years of service, the agency has continually produced successful
outcomes working toward the vision of creating a society where every Survivor has a voice and the resources to
break the cycle of domestic violence.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Program / Project Objectives
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
(The selection should reflect theup rpose of your agency's proposed program /project)
❑ Creating a Suitable Living Environment
This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
living environment.
® Providing Decent Housing
This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
community -wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
Living Environments.
❑ Creating Economic Opportunities
This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
creation.
2. Program / Project Outcomes
Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
(The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)
❑ Availability/Accessibility
This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
® Affordability
This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate. This
program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
❑ Sustainability
This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
neighborhoods.
