The last update was that a Plan Commission application is expected this summer. V. OLD BUSINESS A. Single-Family Rehab Program 1 Ms. Boyer reported that the SFR Case 25-01 window replacement project is proceeding. The required lead-based paint assessment was done and no lead-based paint hazards were identified. Ms. Boyer is contacting the approved contractor about putting the work under contract. Ms. Boyer is meeting with the homeowner for SFR Case 25-02 in the coming week to discuss the scope of work for the home. There are no other new applications. B. Affordable Housing Trust Fund Ms. Boyer reviewed the history of the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Affordable Housing Trust Fund Ordinance contains the purpose of the Trust Fund and a list of types of eligible activities. Chairman Kiefer pointed out that the ordinance states that the Trust Fund was created for the “sole purpose of providing and preserving Attainable Housing opportunities within the Village.” He asked for and received concurrence regarding the importance of ensuring that any recommendations or project funding from the Housing meet the purpose and eligible activities as described in the Ordinance. The Housing Commissioners had been asked to review the Village of Oak Park’s trust fund allocation process as a possible model for Arlington Heights. The commissioners commented that the Oak Park process is straight forward and transparent especially due to the published application review criteria. It was commented that Oak Park’s ordinance allows for a broader range of projects and programs (including rental assistance) than does Arlington Heights’ ordinance. Oak Park also has higher fees including a $7,000 demolition tax as compared to Arlington Heights $4,200 linkage fee. Ms. Boyer confirmed that extensive remodeling projects in Arlington Heights are likened to new construction and the linkage fee is charged for those projects as determined by the Planning Department. Ms. Boyer explained that with regard to supporting projects that involve the creation of new affordable units, Oak Park process has been to provide letters of commitment to Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) applicants after they have passed the preliminary application stage and are preparing their full applications. She stated that funds are tied up for the 1 – 2 year duration of the LIHTC application process with the Illinois Housing Development Authority. Sometimes project applications are not approved and the funds are unobligated and re-granted through the trust funds process. There was concurrence that the Housing Commission would work with the confines of the existing Ordinance and not seek expansions of the eligible activities under the Ordinance at this time. It was commented that there are a number of things that could be funded under the current Affordable Housing Trust Fund Ordinance, and looking to broaden the range of eligible activities would result in a delay. Chairman Kiefer commented that the Housing Commission should focus on the approved priority populations. Commissioner Nagy stressed including creativity in program design in the review criteria and the potential for supporting efforts of non-profit organizations. Commissioner Delea talked about the Village-owned property off of Rand Road and including the property as a resource for redevelopment in conjunction with the Trust Fund or the potential for selling the property to add the proceeds to the monies in the Trust Fund. There was concurrence with starting with the framework of the Oak Park trust fund process as a model for the Arlington Heights process. It was commented that unlike Oak Park, Arlington Heights needs only a “development” application and scoring criteria not also a “program” application and scoring criteria due to the more limited types of eligible activities 2 under Arlington Heights Affordable Housing Trust Fund Ordinance. Ms. Boyer said that staff will work on a mock-up of an Arlington Heights application and trust fund guidelines including review criteria. C. 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan including 2025- 2026 CDBG Funding Applications Ms. Boyer said that the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, including the 2025 Annual Action Plan, went before the Village Board for a public hearing on June 2, 2025. The draft Plan is currently available for public comment. The next public hearing and anticipated date of adoption of the Plan is July 21, 2025. The draft Plan includes the following amounts: • Single-Family Rehab Loan Program draft allocation of $75,547 (an increase from $62,688 for 2024/2025) • Group Home Rehab Grant Program draft allocation of $80,800 (which is greater than the total received for individual group home rehab requests plus a contingency amount) VI. NEW BUSINESS None VII. OTHER BUSINESS A. NEXT MEETING DATE AND AGENDA The agenda will include continuation on the trust fund process. Ms. Boyer was asked to provide a draft of the Arlington Heights process (based on the Oak Park process) for review by the commissioners prior to the meeting. VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Vogt said that speaking on behalf of himself and the Senior Citizens Commission, he is encouraged to see that the Housing Commission is making process with regard to the trust fund application process. The said that the Senior Citizens Commission wishes to provide support in any way it can. He said that the Senior Citizens Commission will be putting out a survey concerning senior affordable housing needs that will be available through the end of Dr. Motto commented that the Senior Citizens Commission is pleased that seniors are among the propriety populations for the Arlington Heights Affordable Housing Trust Fund. He said that it is a focus of the Senior Citizens Commission to assist seniors with “aging-in- place” which include either in their current homes or downsizing into other appropriate housing in Arlington Heights. He said that affordable housing is currently #9 on the Village Board’s list of 2024-2025 list of priorities and he would like to see it moved up on the list. Dr. Motto said that (as an individual resident, not a member of the Senior Citizens Commission) he read and commented on the draft 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan. Although housing affordability is included in the Plan as a high priority, he thinks that additional and more specific goals and strategies are needed. Dr. Motto also commented that housing affordability was the #1 issue in the results of the Livability Survey. Therefore, he suggested that Arlington Heights create an “affordable housing plan” that would include this more detailed information and also look at topics such as zoning, density, and parking requirements. 3 Commissioner Miller said that he is interested in how restrictions on density, zoning, etc. affect the development of affordable housing, but he stressed that the recommendation for the process and allocations from Affordable Housing Trust Fund is and will be the Housing Commission’s top focus for the next couple of months. Chairman Kiefer commented that analyzing the data from the Multi-Family License applications is also on the Housing Commission’s work plan for 2025. Better data on the supply of all kinds of housing would be helpful. Mr. Moens stated that it is his understanding the Urban Street Group plans to submit an affordable housing proposal that is the same or worse that proposed before for the International Plaza redevelopment area. He stated that Village staff should work with Urban Street Group on a compliant proposal prior to the project design going to the Design Commission later in May (2025). Commissioner Delea commented that the developer providing merely a concrete slab is not acceptable and would set a horrible precedent for compliance with the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Commissioner Miller asked if this project will return to the Housing Commission, and Ms. Boyer res[pmded “yes” saying that Housing Commission formal review will be part of the Village review process if the developer proceeds. VIII. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Miller, seconded by Commissioner Delea to adjourn the meeting. The motion was approved by voice vote. The meeting ended at 8:25pm. Next Meeting: Wednesday, July 16, 2025 at 7:00 pm 4

The homeowner is requesting the lowest bid in the amount of $12,600. The approval of this project would result in the loan amount on this home being over the program maximum of $25,000. Ms. Boyer confirmed that the Housing Commission has approved loans over the maximum in the past, and this project would be consistent with those other exceptions.

Ms. Boyer reviewed how the Village of Oak Park administers it trust fund and the types of programs and projects funded by the Village of Oak Park. Oak Park has broader or more types of activities that are eligible to be funded by their trust fund. Several housing commissioners had favorable comments regarding Oak Park’s process saying that it was transparent and clear. Ms. Boyer will provide copies of the Arlington Heights trust fund ordinance for review at the next meeting. It was mentioned that the eligible activities under the trust fund may need to be review if the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is eliminated but the Village wants to continue some programs (such as the Single-Family Rehab Program) that are currently funded under the CDBG grant. C. 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025 Annual Action Plan including 2025- 2026 CDBG Funding Applications Ms. Boyer said that the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan, including the 2025 Annual Action Plan, is being developed.

VI. NEW BUSINESS A. 2025 CDBG Community Needs Survey Results The results of the survey were included in the meeting packet. Affordable housing (rental, senior housing, and aging-in-place) was identified by respondents as a high need area. The top three priorities were: 1) affordable housing, 2) crime prevention, and 3) homeless prevention and support. The housing commissioners were disappointed that there were only 163 responses to the survey, and some said they did not receive any notices or information about the survey. They suggested ways to expand publicity of this type of survey in the future including making the survey available at polling places, advertising the survey on the community events sign, and piggy-backing announcements and access to the survey with other Village announcements and business. B. Shelter Inc. Fire Alarm and Sprinkler System Update Ms. Boyer said that the Building Department is assisting with looking into the change orders for the project. Another update will be provided after the Village goes through this process with the agency and the contractor. VII. OTHER BUSINESS A. NEXT MEETING DATE AND AGENDA The next Housing Commission meeting: Wednesday, June 18, 2025, 7:00 pm The Housing Commissioners are asked to review the Village of Oak Park’s trust fund allocation process (https://www.oak-park.us/Community/Housing/Housing-Trust-Fund), and the eligible activities and other provisions of the Arlington Heights Trust Fund ordinance will be review. VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Vogt said that the Senior Citizens Commission will be working on conducting an assessment of senior housing needs that they will share with the Housing Commission. Mr. Moens asked whether the Memorandum of Understanding with respect to the Urban Street Group/International Plaza proposal will be re-worked. He asked whether Urban Street Group has an affordable housing developer they are working with. Ms. Boyer responded that the last she heard was that they were still working with Northpointe Development. Mr. Moens suggested that that while the Housing Commission is looking at the trust fund that it would be a good time to look at the inclusionary housing requirements including increasing the required percentages of affordable units in developments. VIII. ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Krinsky, seconded by Commissioner LoSavio to adjourn the meeting. The motion was approved by voice vote. The meeting ended at 8:45pm.
