MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF
HOUSING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS
Commissioner Shapiro Kopin asked, and Senior Planner Coleman said it is unknown why only 2
units were recorded.
AUD Section 14
AUD Section 14 – Current Outlook
Recommendation (to obtain an appraisal)
Discussion took place. Staff recommends the HC release these AUDs and not have the developer
pay.
Petitioner, Mr. Anthony Ochs, Attorney for Patzik, Frank & Samotny Ltd., on behalf of B3 Companies,
Berger Investment Group, said they worked closely with the HC to get to this point. There was an approval
to honor 4.8 inclusionary units. The property has been vacant land from 2006 to 2025. The entitlement is
still there. To complete the process and build the units, they request these inclusionary units be waived.
He stated it was never contemplated to pay beyond the 4.8 units. There is an existing HOA for the 12
condo units. This is Phase II Plat of Subdivision. Everything will be completed in one phase. The financing
was finalized in January, 2026.
Senior Planner Coleman advised the HC is the sole entity to release these AUDs.
Commissioner Shapiro Kopin moved to release the AUDs on the lots, based on the history and willingness
of the developer, so there will be no more inclusionary units. There was no second to the motion.
Commissioner Rosen moved to request the City to secure an appraisal. Commissioner Rachman seconded
the motion.
On a voice vote:
Voting Yea: Commissioners Adland, Rachman, & Rosen
Voting Nay: Chairperson Fernandez Sykes; Commissioners Farris, & Shapiro Kopin
Senior Planner Coleman declared that the motion failed 3-3.
Commissioner Rachman moved to instruct Staff to hire an appraiser to determine the difference in
appraisal amounts. Commissioner Adland seconded the motion then withdrew it.
Mr. Ochs reiterated it was presumed when the inclusionary units were reduced from 7 to 4 that no
additional amounts would be paid. He stated this unknown number is not in their budget. This issue was
brought up after discussing same with all parties (HC, City Council).
More HC comments are…..
Commissioner Farris said those responsibilities should have been known (by City Council, etc.).
Mr. Ochs said the intent, for properties requiring inclusionary housing, is facilitated by the inner
workings of taking the project on and, in this case, reducing the inclusionary units. He informed
it was all vetted and known that there would be less inclusionary units – which was ultimately
approved.

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF
HOUSING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS
Commissioner Shapiro Kopin reminded that Senior Planner Coleman advised the pads were
poured for the original 12 units, so it was stated inclusionary units be moved to the condos.
Councilperson Tapia said this is a challenge with new Commissioners. City Council and more seasoned
Commissioners know the history. He expressed the developer came here with an assumption that was
approved. This is a formality that could be opened up that has already been settled.
Commissioner Rosen said it wasn’t a contemplated issue on either side. He appreciates the
candor. A delay would mess up the Applicant’s timing on development.
Commissioner Farris asked, and Mr. Ochs said the only way to sell this is if there isn’t an
inclusionary unit. She doesn’t believe this provision applies.
Commissioner Rachman moved to table this matter until Staff obtains an appraisal. Commissioner Rosen
seconded the motion.
On a voice vote:
Voting Yea: Commissioners Rachman & Rosen
Voting Nay: Chairperson Fernandez Sykes; Commissioners Adland, Farris, & Shapiro Kopin
Senior Planner Coleman declared that the motion failed 2-4.
Commissioner Farris moved to release the AUDs from the previous townhomes. Commissioner Shapiro
Kopin seconded the motion and amended it, based on all of the work by City Staff. Commissioner Farris
accepted the amendment.
On a voice vote:
Voting Yea: Chairperson Fernandez Sykes; Commissioners Adland, Farris, & Shapiro Kopin
Voting Nay: Commissioner Rosen
Abstain: Commissioner Rachman
Chairperson Fernandez Sykes declared that the motion passed 4-1.
Commissioner Shapiro Kopin said releasing the AUDs is consistent with what the HC and City Council
approved.
Commissioner asked about a surety bond. Mr. Ochs said the bond is not released until the project is
completed. He said Director Fontane ensured a Certificate of Occupancy would not be issued until
permits are issued for the condo building.

Recommendation
Senior Planner Coleman said this is just informative. No vote is needed.
Some HC comments are…..
Commissioner Rosen:
o thanked Planner Markle for preparing the report.
o asked, and Senior Planner Coleman said the HC could invoke an authority to institute a
new eviction policy, but it would not be able to be enforced.
Planner Markle said the State of Illinois is basically taking HUD’s Policy. There is still a public-
comment period.
Commissioner Rachman:
o said Cook County Sheriff’s Office will not process an eviction when the weather is under
32 degrees.
o asked, and Senior Planner Coleman said there are delinquent rent payments rather than
a lot of eviction cases. Planner Markle noted 1 tenant at Ravinia obtained a payment
plan via the courts.

City’s approach on affordable housing. Everyone welcomed her.
Senior Planner Coleman reminded Rylee Sullivan is also a Student Representative as well as outgoing
Student Representative, Mitchell Posner.

Accounts Receivable Update
March 2026
Frank B. Peers (68 units)
Tenant A/R decreased from $22.99 at the end of February to $0.02 at the end of March.
Subsidy A/R decreased from $5,901 at the end of February to $810 at the end of March.
Tenant delinquency includes:
Current delinquency: $0
Ravinia Housing (17 units)
Tenant A/R increased from $633.47 at the end of February to $1,812.66 at the end of March.
Subsidy A/R decreased from $994 at the end of February to $158 at the end of March.
Tenant delinquency includes:
Current delinquency: $1,579 (4 tenants)
30-day delinquency: $1,298 (2 tenants)
Three tenants signed payment plans.
**Note**
These charges fluctuate from month to month. If a resident pays rent late or not at all, it
causes the Tenant A/R to increase the following month.
With regard to the subsidy A/R, we request the rent from HUD, 1 month in advance. For
Example: On July 1st, we send our HAP/Voucher subsidy request to HUD, for the month of
June. Because of this, activities like move-ins, move-outs or certifications, will affect the
subsidy A/R balance; causing it to increase or decrease. Tenants that have entered into
repayment agreements would create A/R balances for either the tenant or subsidy ledgers as
well, as the property is required to pay back the incorrect amount received by HUD due to the
error, and then collect that amount directly from the resident as part of their repayment
agreement.

Memorandum
Date: May 6, 2026
To: Housing Commission
From: Zubin Coleman, Senior Planner
Subject: Peers House Rule Change to Non-Smoking Policy on Property
Background
Irina Leykin of Evergreen Real Estate Services (ERES) reached out to Staff requesting that
the Housing Commission consider a change in the Peers’ House Rules changing Peers to a
non-smoking property. Currently, Residents are allowed to smoke inside their units. No
smoking is allowed in the common areas or within 15 feet of the main entrances of the
building.
Proposed House Rule Change
ERES Management has received multiple requests from current residents to convert Peers
into a non-smoking property due to health concerns associated with second-hand smoke.
To implement this change, ERES will revise the existing House Rules (see Attachment 1)
to include a non-smoking policy and issue a 60–90 day notice prior to the effective date,
requiring residents to sign the updated House Rules acknowledging the policy. ERES
Management will inform the Housing Commission with ramifications as a result of any
House Rule change.
March 4, 2026 HC Consideration
Most recently, the item was up for consideration again at the March 4th, 2026 Housing
Commission meeting. Commissioners presented questions regarding implementation and
the timeline. There is a 90-day notice period prior to any rule change, which would allow
ample notice time. One Commissioner also referenced the difficulty of enforcing no-
smoking within units without concrete proof, as this was a note that ERES Management
initially shared.
There was also a suggestion made to implement the rule at the beginning of 2027, allowing
time for current Peers residents to prepare and pivot if the rule change deters them from
the site. Staff has since confirmed that Sunset Woods recently voted to amend their bylaws
to prohibit smoking on-site. The inclusionary units in Highland Park are operated under
no-smoking policies instituted by the developers. Community Partners for Affordable
Housing (CPAH) also institutes a no-smoking policy within their building. CPAH also
1
Page 40 of 83
Memorandum
expressed to Staff that no-smoking policies are prevalent in market dwellings as well, and
that this isn’t a burden falling solely on affordable housing tenants.
In short, Peers is the only affordable housing property in the City that does not have a no-
smoking policy effective for the entire property and units. Minutes from that meeting are
included as Attachment 2. The Commission can discuss a timeline for implementation, if
that better helps an informed decision. Irina Leykin will be present at the May 6 HC
meeting to answer questions.
Dec. 3, 2025 HC Consideration
This item was initially introduced at the December 3rd, 2025 Housing Commission meeting.
ERES explained the reasoning for the proposed rule change to the Commission. Initial
reaction to the rule change and reasoning was divided, with some of Commissioners
expressing concern for residents who would need to travel further off-property to smoke
during the harsh winter months.
The Commission also expressed concern that the Peers residents would not be properly
notified and not given the chance to voice their disagreement to the proposed rule change.
Irina Leykin would later go on to say that any rule change requires a minimum 60-day
notice before implementation. After a motion to approve the rule change failed (2-3), a
motion was later made to table the rule change to February passed (4-1). 60 days from the
Feb. 4th meeting would ensure that no change would be made until the beginning of Spring,
where the weather wouldn’t be as harsh as it currently is. Minutes from the December
meeting for this item are included as Attachment 3.
2019 HC Consideration
In 2019, Staff bought a similar non-smoking proposal to the Housing Commission for
consideration. The memo (see Attachment 4), highlighted HUD’s no-smoking policy that
applies to all federally-funded affordable housing properties. Peers, in addition to Ravinia
and Sunset Woods, are not federally-funded properties so a Smoke-Free policy is not
required. HUD’s Smoke-Free policy prohibits lit tobacco products in all living units, indoor
common areas, administrative offices and all outdoor areas within 25 feet of the housing
building.
Further, at the March 2019 meeting, the Commission considered potential issues with
enforcing a no-smoking policy. Given the privacy of the resident’s units, finding evidence of
smoking would require a more thorough level of management attention and enforcement.
The Commission was concerned with maintaining this level of enforcement.
The 2019 memo also cited past experience that ERES had with implementing No-Smoking
policies at other ERES-managed housing properties. At the time, ERES agreed that
enforcement issues persisted at the properties where the rule change took place.
2
Page 41 of 83
Memorandum
However, ERES cited their no-smoking policy at other housing properties as a success. By
incorporating the policy change, it inevitably reduced the number of resident smokers who
moved into their buildings and came to the conclusion that while some issues may occur at
the onset of the policy change, those issues could be offset over time when taking new
residents into account.
At that 2019 March HC meeting, the Commission ultimately did not cite the proposed
house rule change as necessary and voted not to establish Peers as an entire non-smoking
property. The No-Smoking house rule change has not been bought to Housing Commission
for consideration since 2019.
Recommendation
Staff recommend that the Commission consider approval of a No-Smoking policy change to
the House Rules at the Frank B. Peers property. Any change to the house rules requires
Housing Commission consideration and approval. An example of the verbiage for the rule

Frank Peers House Rules Updated 5/1/2014
These rules are for the benefit of all residents and are a part of the lease. It is your
responsibility to read and understand both the lease and the House Rules. If there is any part of
the Lease or House Rules that you do not understand, please contact the Management Office.
House Rules may be revised at any time by Management, and residents will be given 30-days
notice of any changes.
You are responsible for informing your household members and any visitors of these rules. You
are responsible for your visitor’s behavior. The Resident Household will be responsible for any
Lease and House Rules violations made by your family members and any of your guests.
Violations of these rules may cause termination of your lease.
The rent collection policy is posted in the site office and in the property handbook.
1. Alcohol
Open alcoholic beverages are not permitted in any common areas, on the grounds and or in the
parking lot. Residents are required to follow all applicable laws related to serving alcohol in their
apartments. Violations of these laws will be considered a material non-compliance violation of
the lease.
2. Annual or other Certifications
Households are required to recertify at least annually. Households reporting zero income must
come to the office every 120 days and complete the Zero Income Affidavit. You are required to
report any changes in income of $200 per month or more and changes in household size to the
Management Office within 10 calendar days of your receipt of the information.
FRAUD: Providing false information or not reporting all of your income may be considered fraud and a
violation of the law. If Management determines that a Resident acted fraudulently, termination of tenancy
may occur. Fraud is handled as both a civil violation and as a criminal violation.
Sexual predator checks and criminal background checks are conducted on all residents age
18 and over during the recertification process. Lease terminations will occur for all households
that have had criminal activity within the last 12 months.
Regulations require that Management verify personal and income information at various times
through EIV (Enterprise Income Verification). This information will assist in matching what a
resident has reported as income with the income that is on file with state and federal agencies.
If there are discrepancies Management is required to contact the resident and resolve the
discrepancies. Residents are required to cooperate with this process or the rent may be
increased to market rent until the discrepancy is resolved.
Within 10 days of any resident reaching his/her 18th birthday, the resident must come to the
office to sign the Notice for Release of Information forms, the Lease and other required
paperwork. EIV reports will be run for that resident.
3. Apartment Abandonment
.The apartment must be your sole and only residence. If the resident family is absent from the
unit for more than 120 days unless for a verified medical reason, the unit will be considered
Page 1 of 9 Resident Initials: ___________
Page 44 of 83
Frank Peers House Rules Updated 5/1/2014
abandoned, and the lease will be terminated. If any member of the household is out of the unit
for more than 150 days in one year for a non-medical reason, the resident will be removed from
the lease. (This does not apply to dependent students living in a dorm)
4. Attire/Clothing
Applicants and residents must be appropriately attired in all common areas and when visiting
the Management Office. Appropriate attire includes shoes, shirts and appropriate pants or

allows displays of underwear or open sores or wounds.
5. Barred Guests
Residents are required to inform their guests of the rules and regulations. Guests violating
house rules or the resident’s lease will be “barred” from the property. A “Barred” list will be
posted in the Management Office.
The “barred” person who comes onto the property may be arrested for criminal trespassing. If
the resident is seen in the company of a barred” person on the property, or permits a “barred”
person onto the property, this is grounds for termination of the lease.
Any resident who has been evicted, or was in the process of eviction and moved from the
property, is “barred” from returning to the property.
6. Bedbugs, pest infestation:
Residents must immediately report to the Management Office any sighting of bedbugs or any
other bugs (roaches, water-bugs, fleas and lice) and vermin in your unit, or when you visit
another unit. (If the office is closed, the report must be made as soon as the office is open.) If
you are uncertain as to whether you have bed bugs or other pests, let the Management Office
know immediately so that a maintenance person or a licensed exterminator perform a thorough
inspection.
New residents must sign the Pest-Free Certification, attached to these House Rules upon move-
in. Residents must follow the written procedures for disposal of items that have become
infested. A copy of those procedures may be requested from the Management Office. If
procedures are not followed, residents may be billed for costs that are incurred as a result.
Treatment of an infested unit is not voluntary. Refusal to cooperate with treatment, as approved
by Management, will result in a lease violation.
7. Behavior

physical harassment or threats to residents, residents’ guests, site staff, or contracted vendors,
or any activity or behavior that is disruptive to the security or quiet enjoyment of the property by

the action and permanently when the legal case is resolved. After contacting the police for
these incidents, the management office, Security, and the Service Coordinator (if the property
has this position), should be informed.
Any resident claiming to be a victim of one of these acts covered under VAWA, is asked to
report the incident to the police immediately and then complete and sign/date the Certification
paperwork (form 91006) to report the incident to management. Instead of this form,
documentation by an agent of a victim service provider, an attorney, a medical professional
from whom the victim has asked for help is acceptable, under penalty of perjury. This
information will be kept confidential from other residents, except to the extent as required by law
for legal purposes in a court of law. Once a police report is filed by the victim, and the
paperwork is complete and received by management within 10 days, management will
evaluate the paperwork, and if the claim appears to be valid, management will work with the
victim, the police and Social Services, if applicable to protect the victim in accordance with HUD
guidelines for VAWA.

MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF
HOUSING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS
Senior Planner Coleman advised there is nothing outstanding.
He stated Mr. Koenig is present tonight if there are any questions. There were none.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Peers – House Rule Change to Consider No-Smoking Policy Change (tabled from December HC Meeting)
Senior Planner Coleman reminded everyone of the issue from November, 2025 and explained same. The
change would involve no smoking permitted inside the property. The motion previously failed to change
the house rules, and the topic was tabled. He advised the properties Evergreen manages have a no-
smoking policy with no real issues.
Some HC comments are…..
• Commissioner Beasley said she doesn’t see a point in having the rule, as it can’t be enforced;
unnecessary. There is an issue with having residents going outside away from the front door.
There is no plan on where snow would be placed, etc.
• Commissioner Adland asked, and Senior Planner Coleman said it would eventually weed out those
people who would be unhappy with the change, as new residents move in.
• Commissioner Farris asked, and Senior Planner Coleman shared issues at other properties.
• Commissioner Adland offered an example of an item smelling of smoke; could be degradation of
the property. He is in favor of the rule change.
• Commissioner Beasley said, regarding affordable housing, some may not move in due to these
limitations.
• Chairperson Fernandez Sykes asked, and Senior Planner Coleman said he would check about
Sunset Woods’ policy. He indicated Walnut Place has a no-smoking policy.
• Commissioner Beasley shared this was posed at an HC meeting years ago, and the HC voted
against it. Senior Planner Coleman confirmed that was in 2019.
• Commissioner Farris understands both sides.
• Commissioner Beasley said residents can move out if they don’t like the rules. She expressed this
is one’s home. She understands other residents’ discomfort.
• Commissioner Farris said there is an onus on the HC to see what the best choice is for residents.
A brief discussion took place about pets.
Senior Planner Coleman reminded there is a 90-day period before a rule changes. Residents can come to
an HC meeting and express their opinions. He advised the HC can also reverse a rule change.
More HC comments are…..
• Commissioner Beasley would be in favor if it occurs at the end of the year – with a one-year notice
– or grandfather people in. She also understands both points of view. Senior Planner Coleman
doesn’t believe residents would be evicted for smoking in a non-smoking building. This proposal
would eliminate smoking in one’s dwelling. It is already in place to not smoke in common areas.
He explained an area 15’ away would be designated.
• Chairperson Fernandez Sykes said more questions need to be answered.
• Commissioner Farris said the notice period of 90 days is not the issue. It’s when it’s implemented.
• Commissioner Adland said federal housing is smoke-free.

NEW BUSINESS
1. Peers – House Rule Change to Consider No-Smoking Policy Change
Senior Planner Coleman illustrated a memo that Evergreen Staff initiated regarding the No-Smoking Policy
Change at Peers. He noted, in the past, it was agreed to not place a rule or enforce same. Senior Planner
Coleman referred to Page 2 of the document and read language of the rule change.
Ms. Leykin provided verbage used at other properties.
Some HC comments are:
• Commissioner Rosen asked why this is being brought forward now. Ms. Leykin said there have
been complaints about second-hand smoking. Air purifiers clear the air but not in their entirety.
She noted most of HUD’s properties have a No-Smoking Policy in common areas. Tenants do
smoke in their units. There is no way to enforce it (cannot evict). This policy will encourage people
to not smoke in their unit. They may walk away from the front door to do so.
• Commissioner Beasley asked:
o where the information on no-smoking is. Ms. Leykin said a device was used to measure
smoke. She shared violations and notifications have been given about non-HUD buildings
Page 2

Page 55 of 83
MINUTES OF A REGULAR MEETING OF
HOUSING COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS
o Ms. Leykin explained most ERES-managed buildings have non-smoking policies.
• Commissioner Shapiro Kopin advised Sunset Woods recently declared a non-smoking policy.
• Commissioner Farris noted this provides a deterrent.
• Ms. Leykin stated that Housing Commission (controlling entity) determines what the policy is. She
oversees 11 properties, and none allow smoking. She noted Walnut Place had a smoking policy.
It is now under consideration to have a non-smoking policy.
• Commissioner Shapiro Kopin said this is beneficial for health reasons.
• Acting Chair Gonzalez asked how elderly or handicapped residents can go outside to smoke. Ms.
Leykin advised the City of Highland Park authorizes a place for smoking.
• Commissioner Farris said there is a burden to have an elderly or handicapped person walk 25’
from the front door.
• Acting Chair Gonzalez said he is in favor of this new policy, but all aspects should be considered.
Ms. Leykin said they need to act on these concerns.
• Commissioner Farris asked, and Senior Planner Coleman responded that this could be continued
• Commissioner Beasley would appreciate the opportunity for Peers residents to come forward and
provide feedback on rule change.
• Commissioner Beasley asked if this could apply only to new residents. Ms. Leykin said that would
go against the Fair Housing Act.
Senior Planner Coleman reminded this is the first meeting for consideration of this new policy.
Commissioner Shapiro Kopin moved to approve the current proposal for the House Rule Change. Acting
Chair Gonzalez seconded the motion.
Commissioner Rosen believes smoking shouldn’t be prohibited. He suggested perhaps residents be
alerted that there may be a change coming. Commissioner Beasley is concerned about mobility to get to
the designated area outside.
On a voice vote:
Voting Yea: Acting Chair Gonzalez & Commissioner Shapiro Kopin
Voting Nay: Commissioners Beasley, Farris, Rosen
Staff declared the motion failed 2-3.
Additional HC comments are:
• Commissioner Farris asked that this topic be on the agenda for the February meeting.
• Commissioner Shapiro Kopin said, regarding cold weather, this is not to evict residents. It’s just to
recommend smokers go outdoors for a 5-minute smoke.
She recalled there still has to be a policy implemented for evictions.
• Commissioner Beasley reminded there was a precedent not to put this policy in place previously.
• Commissioner Rosen said a policy could happen, but he would like time be given to residents to
digest this change. Then he could vote yes in the future.

(Resident FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Smoke Free Facility Policy
Will I have to move or be evicted because I smoke?
No. A smoke-free initiative is not a "no-smoker" initiative- smokers will simply have to
step outside and at least 25 feet away from the building to an allowable area. However,
repeated violations of the rules may result in termination of tenancy. While smoking is
prohibited, applicants should not be denied occupancy and existing tenants should not be
evicted, simply because they are smokers. We will also make available for you resources
if you are looking to cut back or quit smoking. Please contact the management office for
these contacts and resources.
What Is Secondhand Smoke?
The American Lung Association defines secondhand smoke is a mixture of the smoke
given off by the burning end of a smoked tobacco product and the smoke exhaled from
the lungs of smokers. Secondhand smoke contains hundreds of chemicals known to be
toxic or cancer causing, including formaldehyde, benzene, vinyl chloride, arsenic,
ammonia, and hydrogen cyanide. Secondhand smoke is also called environmental
tobacco smoke and exposure to secondhand smoke is called involuntary smoking, or
passive smoking. There is no safe level of second hand smoke exposure.
Why is the smoke-free initiative program a benefit to me and my family?
The smoke-free initiative will significantly reduce the exposure to secondhand smoke
which is a recognized health hazard. Additionally, your building will smell fresher and
cleaner, and the risk of fire will be reduced. Lastly, having a no smoking policy will also
lessen the risk of fire. Smoking is the leading cause of fire death in the United States.
According to the National Fire Protection Association's report "The Smoking-Material
Fire Problem," nearly one in four (24%) victims who die in residential smoking-related
fires is not the smoker whose cigarette started the fire. The National Fire Protection
Agency reported that U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 82,400 smoking-
material fires in 2012. These fires caused 800 civilian deaths, 1,660 civilian injuries, and
$575 million in direct property damage. Fires caused by smoking are costly, deadly, and
leave many people with damaged property and no place to live. It is for these
compelling reasons that we developed the following sample house rule change that will
be used as part of this program.
What is the smoke-free initiative for my building, and how will it be enforced?
You will be provided with a copy of the new house rules before they are implemented.
The following provision will be added to the current house rules. Repeated violations of
the non smoking policy may result in termination of tenancy.
Page 60 of 83
Sample "house-rule" provision:
This property is a smoke free facility.
Due to increased risk of fire and the known health effects of secondhand smoke,
smoking is prohibited in any area of the property, both private and common, indoors, and
within 25 feet of the building(s) including entryways, balconies and patios, as well as all
exterior common use areas, playground areas and near any exterior window or door. This
policy applies to all residents, guests, and service persons. Residents are responsible for
ensuring that all household members and guests comply with this rule. The term
"smoking" is defined as inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying any lighted cigarette,
cigar, pipe, or other products, including marijuana and e-cigarettes.
What if marijuana is legal in my state for medical or recreational use?
All smoking products are prohibited in our building to both reduce the risk of fire and to
avoid the spread of second hand smoke to other residents. This includes marijuana.
Regardless of the purpose for which legalized under state law, the use of marijuana in
any form is illegal under the Controlled Substance Act (CSA) and therefore is an illegal
controlled substance.
Why are a-cigarettes prohibited?
Electronic cigarettes, also known as e-cigarettes or vapor cigarettes are battery operated
devices that resemble traditional cigarettes. Instead of burning tobacco, they contain
cartridges filled with nicotine and other chemicals. When the e-cigarette is used, the
liquid chemicals in the cartridge are turned into a vapor or steam that is inhaled by the
smoker. The California Department of Department of Health recently issued a warning
about the dangers of e-cigarettes, citing that the vapor or steam they produce contain at
least 10 chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects.
Signs will be posted throughout the building and property notifying residents, their
guests, and vendors of the smoke-free initiative. Warning notices, counseling and
attorney action will be initiated for failing to follow the smoke-free initiative just as
for not following any other house rule.

Dear Zubin,
This letter serves as our quarterly report with quarterly drawdown request ($27,750) for
quarter 1 covering the period January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026, per our 2026
operating grant agreement.
Community Land Trust Program
- CPAH sold the 3bd/2bth single family home at 1342 Ferndale on March 13th for
$222,000. The buyer is a woman with two children; one child will be starting high
school in the fall and the other will be starting middle school. She is very excited
to own her first home. See attached photo.
- CPAH (via AHC) completed rehabilitation of the 3bd/2bth single family home at
1500 Mccraren Road. Rehab work included a new kitchen, baths, floors,
mechanicals, plumbing, electric, windows, driveway, roof, and landscaping
improvements. However, recent heavy rains identified a water infiltration issue in
the basement, which we are currently working to resolve. The home will then be
for sale at $210,000.
- CPAH (via AHC) acquired a 3bd/2bth single family home at 1095 Central Avenue.
The home is in good shape and will require relatively minor rehabilitation. Rehab
work is expected to be completed in June.
- We are currently seeking two more homes to acquire under our 2026 grant.
Betsy Lassar Place (8-Unit Townhome Development)
Betsy Lassar Place is moving along on-schedule and on-budget. Excavation, site work,
and foundations were completed in October 2025. Site underground sanitary, water,
storm, and detention systems were completed in December. Framing, roofing, windows,
and exterior doors were finished in February 2026. We are currently working on plumbing,
HVAC, electric, sprinklers, insulation, and drywall – all of which are scheduled for
completion in May. Overall, the project is scheduled to be completed and ready for

occupancy in August. Attached is a more detailed breakdown of the construction schedule
and photos.
As it relates to our grant from the Housing Commission, the following is the agreed upon
disbursement schedule:
1) $100,000 upon receipt of all necessary land use approvals and recording of
necessary documents;
2) $200,000 upon completion of site utility work, foundation work, and backfill;
3) $200,000 upon completion of rough framing;
4) $200,000 upon completion of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing;
5) $200,000 upon completion of roofing and exterior finishes;
6) $100,000 upon issuance of final certificate of occupancy
At this point, we have completed items #1, #2, and #3 above and are eligible for
drawdown/use of $500,000. However, State and County grants were used first and only
$207,000 of Highland Park Housing Trust funds have been spent so far. By the end of
May, we will be eligible to use up to $700,000 of Highland Park Housing Trust funds and
we expect approximately that amount will be spent.
Inclusionary Housing
CPAH had 916 households on the Highland Park Inclusionary Housing rental waitlist as
of March 31, 2026. We received 160 rental waitlist applications from January through
March, of which 104 were placed on the waitlist and 56 were denied because they lacked
sufficient income. As of March 31st, there were no vacancies (100% occupied).
CPAH continues to conduct annual income recertifications for the existing 52 inclusionary
rental units (17 Albion, 4 Laurel Courts, 5 Ravinia Crossing, 11 McGovern, 3 Bloom, 2 St.
Johns, 10 Albion II), assist property managers with ongoing questions related to the
inclusionary units and tenants, market to those who might be interested in applying to be
on the waitlist for upcoming affordable housing opportunities in Highland Park, and
manage inclusionary sales and re-sales. CPAH also regularly consults with and meets
with City Community Development staff.
CPAH also managed the resale of an inclusionary one‑bedroom home at 815 Laurel. The
new owner, who is retired though works as a crossing guard, had been living with his
daughter’s young family. He’s overjoyed to have a place of his own while staying close to
his grandchildren. The resale shows how well the inclusionary housing program works:
the seller was able to build equity and capture a share of the appreciation, while the home
remains affordable for the next buyer.
General Affordable Housing Work
In addition to the specific CLT and inclusionary housing work described above, CPAH
continued to provide a range of other housing services including housing counseling,
down payment assistance, home repair and accessibility programs, foreclosure
Page 65 of 83
prevention, property management services, grant writing to leverage Housing Trust Fund
dollars, and a range of post-purchase stewardship for homeowners and tenants including
home maintenance classes, assistance with refinances, property tax assessments,
financial education, matched savings program, revolving loan fund, and various other
supports to help resident secure long-term housing stability.
The attached pages provide a summary of indirect expenses incurred on Highland Park
activity during the first quarter of 2026.
We sincerely appreciate all the support and leadership provided by the Housing
Commission which has made the City of Highland Park a nationally recognized model
and leader throughout the region.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me at 847-263-7478 ext 22 or ranthony@cpahousing.org

GRANT AGREEMENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND
OPERATING GRANT
(January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027)
This Grant Agreement (the “Agreement”) is dated as of the 4th of March 2026, by and between the
Highland Park Housing Commission (the “Commission”) and Community Partners for
Affordable Housing (“CPAH”).
IN CONSIDERATION OF the recitals and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in the
Agreement, and pursuant to the Commission’s powers, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. Recitals.
A. On May 28, 2002, the City Council of Highland Park adopted Ordinance No. 34-02 establishing
the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to be administered by the City’s Housing Commission
with the assistance of the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee. Pursuant to said ordinance,
the Commission makes the final decision to approve or deny all applications for funding by the
HTF.
B. The purpose of the HTF is to provide financial resources to address the affordable housing needs of
low- and moderate-income individuals and families who live or work in Highland Park, including,
among other things, by providing support for not-for-profit organizations that actively address the
affordable housing needs of such individuals and families and, in particular, by giving priority to
eligible applications from the Highland Park Illinois Community Land Trust (now CPAH).
C. By Resolution No. R33-3, adopted on March 10, 2003, the City Council endorsed the formation
and directed the incorporation of the Highland Park Illinois Community Land Trust.
D. The Highland Park Illinois Community Land Trust was established as an independent, not-for-
profit corporation on March 17, 2003, as an outgrowth of the Affordable Housing Needs and
Implementation Plan element of the City’s Master Plan to address the affordable housing needs of
low- and moderate-income individuals and families who live or work in Highland Park. The
Highland Park Illinois Community Land Trust changed its name to Community Partners for
Affordable Housing (CPAH) in July of 2010. In January 2019, CPAH merged with Lake County
Residential Development Corporation and Affordable Housing Corporation of Lake County but
retains the CPAH name.
E. CPAH submitted a request for operating funds to the HTF dated {January 28, 2026} a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
F. At its meeting on March 4, 2026, the Commission approved CPAH’s request for operating funds.
HC Resolution 02-2026 is attached as Exhibit 2.

CPAH OPERATING GRANT AGREEMENT
January 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027
Section 2. Covenants.
A. The HTF agrees to make a $111,000 grant to CPAH, hereafter called "GRANTEE," for the
following: Funds provided will be used to continue and expand its current general administrative
and program activities, including grant writing, and administration of certain aspects of the City’s
Inclusionary Housing Program, including publicizing the program, conducting orientation for
interested persons, establishing and managing a waiting list of conditionally qualified applicants,
and training lenders and attorneys about the program requirements, including the Ground Lease
and/or Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, and qualifying applicants for
specific units that become available.
All monies granted for operating support will be expended by GRANTEE between January 1, 2026
and January 31, 2027. All monies awarded must be expended or returned to the HTF. The Housing
Commission, in its sole discretion, may extend the expenditure period based on a request from
CPAH. Grant monies will be paid to the GRANTEE after the Commission has received the signed
Grant Agreement from CPAH.
B. GRANTEE agrees that all funds received pursuant to this grant agreement will be expended only
for the activities identified in Paragraph 2(A). In the event GRANTEE uses the funds for a purpose
other than those identified in Paragraph 2(A) and the City’s Affordable Housing Plan as filed with
the State of Illinois, without the prior consent of the Commission, all grant funds shall be refunded
to the HTF.
C. GRANTEE agrees to submit quarterly reports with a quarterly drawdown request on the following

acceptable to the Commission, on or before January 15, 2027.
