This project, a mixed-use development at located at 5404-5440 Touhy and 7235 Linder, includes 494 apartment units, ground floor commercial space, and 980 parking spaces. As noted in the attachment from the Development Team, the project's developer is actively engaged in obtaining financing commitments but has indicated it is unlikely the commitments will be completed within the required six months of Village Board approval. Village Code requires projects to establish permitting activity within six months of approval. Background: The proposed project was approved by the Village Board in November 2022. Per the Village's Zoning Code, Section 118-10: "Expiration and cancellation. Each final action granted by the Commission, ZBA, or Village Board expires after 180 days from the passage of ordinance or approval of the final decision by the granting body if building permits have not been submitted, work is undertaken, or such use or activity is not established, unless a different time of issuance is allowed in the ordinance or decision, or unless an extension is granted by the granting body prior to expiration." This project's Site Plan approvals expire on May 7, 2023 and must be extended in order to avoid expiration and cancellation. The ordinances associated with the zoning map amendment (Ordinance 2022-22P) and Subdivision with Dedication (Ordinance 2022-24P) do not expire as they are not related to building permit activity.

On the same night, the Village adopted an Ordinance granting site plan approval for the construction of a mixed use development on the property. We are aware that, under Section 118-10 of the Village Zoning Code, the site plan approval may expire if certain activity or work is not undertaken within 180 days after adoption. While the expiration date in this matter will not occur for several months (May 7, 2023), we want to advise the Village sufficiently in advance of that date that, in light of the present economic conditions, including the uncertain financial and lending markets, and increasing interest rates, it is highly unlikely that Under Touhy LLC wi!l have sufficient financing commitments in place to be in a position to puil building permits for construction prior to scheduled date. Please be assured that Under Touhy LLC remains very committed to this development and desirous of proceeding with construction as soon as it becomes financially feasible once again. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Village Board exercise its authority in Section 118-10 and grant a 12 month extension from the initiai date of May 7, 2023. We are hopeful that this will provide sufficient time to allow us to {00131443.1}  Return to Mgr Rpt March 20, 2023 Page 2 procure the necessary financing to construct the development.

Esq Corporation Counsel Village of Skokie 5127 Oakton Street Skokie, IL 60077 Re: 5404-5440 Touhy - Under Touhy LLC Development Dear John, Johanna, and Michael As you are aware, I represent Under Touhy LLC, the Developer of the property commonly known as 5404.5440 Touhy and 7235 Under. On November 7, 2022, the Village rezoned the property into the 84 Regional Mixed-Use Shopping District, On the same night, the Village adopted an Ordinance granting site p!an approval for the construction of a mixed use development on the property. We are aware that, under Section 118-10 of the Village Zoning Code, the site plan approval may expire if certain activity or work is not undertaken within 180 days after adoption. While the expiration date in this matter will not occur for several months (May 7, 2023), we want to advise the Village sufficiently in advance of that date that, in light of the present economic conditions, including the uncertain financial and lending markets, and increasing interest rates, i1 is highly unlikely that Under Touhy LLC will have sufficient financing commitments in place to be in a position to pull building permits for construction prior to scheduled date. Please be assured that Linder Touhy LLC remains very committed to this development and desirous of proceeding with construction as soon as it becomes financially feasible once again. Therefore. we respectfully request that the Village Board exercise its authority in Section 118-10 and grant a 12 month extension from the initial date of May 7. 2023. We are hopeful that this wilt provide sufficient time to allow us to Page 2 of 3 VOSDOCS-#610008-v1-Resolution_extend_time_for_contruction_5404-5440_Touhy_Ave_and_7235_Linder_Ave  Return to Mgr Rpt March 20, 2023 Page 2 procure the necessary financing to construct the development Please let us know when we can be scheduled to appear before the Village Board Thank you for your consideration and cooperation throughout this process Sincerely, Sleven M Etrod SME/jss ec.

The Village participated in a joint bid with a consortium of eight communities. Bids were opened on March 12, 2019 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. A total of three bids were opened. The low bidder is determined by the price per pound ofsealant material. All the labor and machinery needed to perform the crack sealing is included in the per pound price. The original bid covered 2019,2020 and 2021. The price per pound for the additional two years was also part of the original contract. The consortium had the option to renew or rebid based on the contractor's performance. In addition, the consortium has the option to extend hvo, one year contracts beyond the original three year term. Budget The Village has budgeted $40,000 in the FY23 Capital Improvement Program using Local Fuel Tax funds. This amount will translate into over 100,000 feet of crack maintenance. We are able to take advantage of a much more competitive bid price for this type of work by participating in this joint bid. Recommendation It is recommended that the Village Board approve the use of Village funds budgeted for crack sealing for a one year extension per the original bid. Once approved. Village staff will coordinate this work with the contractor, Patriot Pavement Maintenance located out ofDes Flames, Illinois. Comments The crack sealing methods and materials specified by the contract are in accordance with the current IDOT standards. Patriot successfully completed the Village's crack sealing program the last three years under this contract and the renewal price supports having them once again complete the Village program under this contract. This project typically lasts one week. The Village will monitor the performance of the work.

We have finally reached our goal of providing 90-95% dust free option for the municipalities that would like to take advantage of the new process. Patriot has been developing this propriety system for the last four years and we are very pleased with our results. Dust complaints have always been the biggest issue while performing the crack fill process. Resident complaints are at an all-time high due to the high number of people working from home. We noticed this new trend the very first year of COVID. Unfortunately/ Patriot employees have had a record number of aggressive confrontations with residents since they have been working from home. Most people have not been home to observe the process in the past. Many residents come running out and consistently try to stop/ question/ and reprimand the crews for doing their job. We are confident by capturing the dust we will reduce the number of complaints and requests for car washes that inundate the village. Our new dustless process will substantially reduce the negative interactions between the residents and PPM employees while working in your towns. A second option that we are able to provide to the MPI this season is a mastic option which is used in cracks over 2" in width/ not able to be filled with the standard crack fill material presently specified. Potholes/ rutting/ and alli^atored areas in asphalt and concrete can be repaired with the mastic as well. Patriot will gladly do a demonstration for the towns that are interested. The cost per pound for mastic will be $3.95 per pound installed. The price for the standard crack fill process is $1.36 per pound and sweeping will be $120.00 per hour. Fiber remains at $1.39 per pound. The new propriety dustless process will be $1.62 per pound which is $.04-$.08 per pound cheaper than the DuPage County MPI Project that is not dustless. Sweeping is included in the dustless operation as well. Please let us know which option and how many pounds your town will need for this year s program.

Lockerby, Village Manager FROM: / Michael Alelcsic, Assistant Finance Director DATE: April 6, 2023 SUBJECT: North Shore Center for the Performing Arts (NSCPA) Service Door Retrofit - (Agenda Item) Background: The NSCPA has a large service door (two doors at one opening) located at the rear of the building on the southeast comer. The doors are used for loading and unloading equipment directly behind the stage in the main theater. The doors are badly rusted and the concrete around the door frames is crumbling. The FY23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains funding for the replacement of the doors and frame, and for enlarging the doorway to allow for easier loading and unloading of larger equipment and stage props. The Village is anticipating the receipt of a State of Illinois grant to fund this project and other capital improvements. Bids for the above referenced project were publicly solicited and two bids were received. However, one bid had to be disqualified due to the tardiness of the submission. Tabulation: Via Meridiana Contractors LLC., Darien, IL. $59,996.67 Recommendation: It is recommended that a contract for the modification and installation of new service doors be awarded to Via Meridiana Contractors LLC. in the amount $59,996.67. The Village is currently working with Via Meridiana Contractors on the NSCPA Canopy Improvements Project. Comments: Work under this contract will include the removal of the existing doors, frame, concrete stairs, landing and railings. The opening will be saw cut and enlarged down to the parking lot level. Existing electrical interior conduit runs will be removed and reconfigured to allow for the larger opening. A new factory painted commercial hollow metal frame door assembly and hardware will be installed, along with a new concrete apron.

Lorge^p^fporatioj^Counsel DATE: April 12,2023 SUBJECT: April 17, 2023 Corporation Counsel's Report *A. Ordinance. Site Plan Approval, 2023-01 P, 8610 Niles Center Road Item A is on the consent agenda for second reading and adoption. The first reading was on March 20, 2023. This Ordinance grants site plan approval for a demonstration project planned development to be located at 8610 Niles Center Road, Skokie, in an R4 Multifamily Residential district. The property is 82,988± SF (1.9 acres) with frontage on Niles Center Road, Conrad, and Greenleaf Streets. Additionally, it is adjacent to the CTA Yellow line. The multifamily residential space is consistent with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, the Dempster-Skokie Station Area Plan, and zoning for the site. The building will follow Skokie's bird strike mitigation guidelines and be designed and constructed to meet the Green Building Initiatives requirements and protocols for a Green Globe certification. B. Memorandum, Proposal for early intervention in Hate Crimes. A Program to Identify and Assess Data of Bias and Hate Incidents as an Indicator of Future Hate Crimes This Intervention Program has been developed over the past year with input from other sources and experts throughout the country. The goal of the Intervention Program is to collect data and information about Bias and Hate Incidents which could not be formally classified as Hate Crimes. During the past year as part of the vision of the Program the Skokie Police Department has already collected data regarding Bias or Hate Incidents. The collection of this data will allow us to identify and assess possible trends and anticipate where in Skokie people might be prone to such behavior, in order to try to stem the growing tide of Hate Crimes. The Program will be designed with preemptive measures that are based in education, honest discussion and sensitizing experiences which will be used to interact with those who might be predisposed to or could be cajoled into committing a Hate Crime. It is anticipated that this will be a Program that other municipalities and the State will emulate. ec; Pramod Shah John Lockerby Page 1 of 1 VOSDOCS-#610108-v1 -04_17_23_Corporation_Counsel_s_Report  Return to Corp Rpt MML: 03/20/23 *4/17/23 PC: 2023-01 P SPA: 606.01 THIS ORDINANCE MAY BE CITED AS VILLAGE ORDINANCE NUMBER 23-4-Z" AN ORDINANCE GRANTING SITE PLAN APPROVAL FOR A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT PLANNED DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 8610 NILES CENTER ROAD, SKOKIE, ILLINOIS, IN AN R4 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AND RELIEF FROM CHAPTER 118, SECTIONS 118-127(1) d., 118-127(2), 118-127(3)b^ 118-127(7), 118- 127(8), 118-218(b), AND 118-272(c) OF THE SKOKIE VILLAGE CODE 1 WHEREAS, the owner of the following described real property (hereinafter "Petitioner"): 2 LOTS 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 9. 10, 11, 12, 13,14, 15, 16, 17 AND 18 IN BLOCK 2 IN AA.

Lorge, Corporation Counsel Chief Brian Baker Date: April 7, 2023 Subject: A PROPOSAL FOR EARLY INTERVENTION IN HATE CRIMES A Program to Identify and Assess Data of Bias and Hate Incidents as an Indicator of Future Hate Crimes Introduction During the past 18 months Corporation Counsel Michael Large and Trustees Khem Khoeun and Keith Robinson have conducted research using experts throughout the United States and from this information, present this Program which will use data collected in the Village concerning Bias and Hate Incidents to anticipate and intervene on potential Hate Crimes. The Village of Skokie is one of America's most diverse municipalities and the opportunities to enrich and expand our cultural awareness is a strength of our community and a source of great pride. This diversity, anchored to common values of equity, respect and goodwill, enhances our social fabric. We celebrate the abundance it brings, but we also must be aware and vigilant to actors and actions that tear at our complex community and compromise the safety of our community. We must be committed to protect the rights and safety of every person regardless of race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity and expression, but unless our commitment is rooted in communication, in examination and in action we are not true to our stated values. This requires that we have learned to hear each other and more importantly to respond for each other, accepting our reality. This includes building bridges of understanding, so we are intuitively present when trauma hits our community. There is little question that the Village of Skokie is on guard and desires to respond quickly to acts of Hate Crime when they are revealed. The Skokie Police Department has outstanding training and policies to address Hate Crimes. But can we get ahead of the causes, influences, jokes, behaviors and public speech which are gateways to Hate Crime? There is work being developed in other municipalities which use data on Bias or Hate Incidents to • See Red Flag Laws MN1L 4.7.22 v9 609895  Return to Corp Rpt anticipate Hate Crimes. Therefore, if we name it and identify it, we should develop a program to respond to Bias or Hate Incidents as a precursor to Hate Crimes in SkoRie. First, with great respect to our composition of law enforcement, school and community social services, community organizations and Village social service resources, we must acknowledge the following national and region data and authoritative reports. As hard as it may be to recognize and admit, we must say out loud to each other that: • Hate Crimes exist and continue even within our community; • Hate Crimes are underreported and unrecognized by all assessments across the country and within our community; • Hate Crimes are growing in number across the country and within our community; and • Hate Crimes are occurring against every segment of protected groups. Second, that while world and national events, as well as local events cause inexplicable increases in Hate Crime attacks on different protected classes (race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity expression), it all needs to be identified, tracked and confronted in totality. The key is to understand that "one form of hate leads to another." We need a unified and resilient approach to end Hate Crime. Third, if we can foretell a growing high tide of Hate Crimes in America, we must acknowledge that it does occur in Skokie. We should put our energy, time and experience to stem the growing tide of Hate Crimes in America through preemptive measures that are based in education, honest discussion, sensitizing experiences and interaction with those who might be predisposed to or could be cajoled into committing a Hate Crime. The Core Mission of Early Intervention in Hate Crimes The goal of this Intervention Program is to coltect data and information about incidents and occurrences that are not only reported formally as Hate Crimes by the Skokie Police Department, but also any incident reported that has an element of Bias or Hate involved in it. The collection of this data will allow us to identify and assess possible trends and anticipate where in Skokie people might be prone to such behavior. This data and information would then lead to efforts to repair and transform the community behavior through education, honest discussion, sensitizing experiences and interaction. The data and information would Keep identities, locations and all private Information private since there were no chargeable offenses. However, using the data and information, we will offer to intervene or interrupt harmful behavior with programs using community organizations, mental health professionals and social workers. We Know How to Identify a Hate Crime but what do we do with this data? The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines Hate Crimes as a committed criminal offense which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias(es) against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity. (Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation crime Data Explorer) Hate Crime data for the nation is derived from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and Summary Reporting System (SRS) reports all of which are voluntarily submitted • See Red Flag Laws MflflL 4-7-22 v9 608895  Return to Corp Rpt to the FBI which collates the data and publishes it. By example, the 2020 FBI Hate Crime statistics for the nation are based on data received from 15,138 of 18,625 law enforcement agencies in the country that year. Those occurrences wherein a Hate Crime is not charged because of established Federal law, are not reported and generally not tracked by most law enforcement agencies, or assessed. But what if we did begin to track and assess these Bias or Hate incidents and occurrences? How Can an Act That Is Not Per Se a Hate Crime Help Us Stop Hate Crimes? A Bias or Hate Incident is defined as the behavior that is motivated by hate or bias towards a person's actual or perceived disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation but is not criminal in nature. Unfortunately, frequently and even typically, the reality is that these behaviors are protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of expression, if this type of behavior escalates to threats or is carried out against a person or property, or becomes an incitement to commit violence, it would be classified as a Hate Crime. (Source: Orange County, California 2019 Hate Crimes Report) Details and data about Bias or Hate Incidents are critical sources of information offering an overview of trends and specific red flags*, which if analyzed foretell the need for intervention. By identifying these trends and red flags in hate activity (Bias or Hate Incidents), efforts can be developed to address hate activity or reduce its impact or even treat what would become Hate Crimes. By example, data on Bias or Hate Incidents concerning trends, motivation and geographic hot spots could help to alert schools, social service agencies or Village staff to bring programming or more intensive sessions to the at-risk community, How Could the Village of Skokie Undertake a Program to Identify, Assess and Respond to Hate Incidents? It is important to distinguish between Hate Crimes, which inherently involve an underlying criminal act and Bias or Hate Incidents, because while perpetrators and those involved in Hate Crimes can be identified, individuals who are part of a Bias or Hate Incident must be kept confidential. Still, the details and general iocation of such occurrences can be more indusively and robustly reported by the Skokie Police Department to our Human Relations Commission. The data collected by the Human Relations Commission would be analyzed with established guidelines and specifications delineated with further input from Professor Brian Levin and other professionals in the field. We will work with the Human Relations Commission to identify and offer programs from organizations and education professionals including to address and intervene in the Bias or Hate incidents indicated in the community. Many of the individuals and organizations listed below have already offered their resources for this process and the intention is to expand this list of resources. The Skokie Police Department began tracking all Bias or Hate related incidents on January 1. 2022, in anticipation of this Program and for its own initiative. Every reported incident that has any element of bias or hate is flagged for data collection by the Department, tn addition to being flagged, the incident is reported to the Department Command Staff and is reviewed by an Investigations Supervisor for assignment to a Detective. The first full years of data has been compiled and is currently being analyzed and formatted within the Department. • See Red Flag Laws MHBL 4-7-22 v9 609855  Return to Corp Rpt We have afso reached out to Illinois legislators with an expectation that as we develop our Program further, there can be State financial support for our effort and a State program that follows our planning as a pilot project that can be applied throughout our State. Conclusion As a community, the Village of Skokie has confidence that our diversity, coupled with our expressed common values of equity, respect and celebration of divergent cultures strengthens our social tapestry. However, even assuming this is true, unfortunately Hate Crimes as legally defined occur in the Village with some regularity and the tide nationally and regionally is rising. We are committed to finding early Programs to intervene or interrupt this tide. This Project does not focus on the occurrence and ferocity of Hate Crimes, but more so those reported cases that do not qualify as such and therefore, are considered to be a Bias or Hate Incident. We suggest, that focusing on Bias or Hate Incidences gives us an early and better sense of what is occurring in our community and where it is occurring. We p!an to provide opportunities to address situations in which hate interaction exists and to blunt or stop Hate Crime that could grow from it. The Organizations and Individuals with Whom We Consulted During the past 8 months, Trustees Khem Khoeun and Keith Robinson and the Corporation Counsel have explored how other communities use Bias and Hate Incident data to create a program to discourage, deter and interdict Hate Crimes.

In furtherance of this effort, the Plan Commission convened the following meetings:  Thursday, January 19, 2023: Listening Session that included representatives from local and regional organizations engaged in affordable housing development and advocacy. Presentations from this meeting can be viewed at www.skokie.org/housing.  Thursday, February 2, 2023: Public Hearing #1 summarized ideas and concepts associated with affordable housing from the Listening Session for further discussion by the Plan Commission and the public.  Thursday, March 2, 2023: Public Hearing #2 refined goal statements associated with the previous affordable housing discussion and included more discussion of the potential strategies to accomplish the goals.  Thursday, March 16, 2023: Final meeting of the Plan Commission to review affordable housing materials and draft goals and provide action on a recommendation to the Village Board for an affordable housing policy recommendation. The attached materials include the entirety of the Plan Commission’s work on affordable housing. The Plan Commission’s draft policy recommendation is the following: The Village supports providing affordable and attainable housing for all who seek to live in Skokie and remains consistent with the Village’s Consolidated Plan (Program Year 2020-24) that the Village will, “Ensure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable.” The following goal-based framework further expands this policy recommendation: Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive affordable housing in Skokie; Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to be accessible and sustainable; Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available to all of Skokie’s workers; VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 1  Return to top of Memo Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable housing; and Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand fair housing efforts. The Plan Commission further discussed the development of a potential inclusionary housing ordinance for the Village. The parameters discussed are enclosed in the attached materials. The Plan Commission was supportive of the eventual adoption of an inclusionary housing ordinance to guide and require the inclusion of affordable housing in new developments. Comments from the public were provided at each meeting and were also submitted in written form to housing@skokie.org. The comments provided since January are compiled into a single document also attached this report. PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING The Plan Commission recommended, by a vote of 7 ayes, 0 nays, and 2 absent, that the packet of materials in support of the aforementioned affordable housing goals be presented with a positive recommendation to the Village Board on April 17, 2023.

Skokie’s goals for affordable housing are well-documented in the Village’s Consolidated Plan (Program Year 2020-24) for Community Development Block Grant funding, “[E]nsure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable.” The following updated framework1 builds on the goal statement from the Village’s Consolidated Plan: Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive affordable housing in Skokie. Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to be accessible and sustainable; Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available to all of Skokie’s workers; Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable housing; and Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand fair housing efforts. GOAL A: STUDY, ASSESS, AND REPORT ON THE ONGOING SUPPLY AND DEMAND FOR INCLUSIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SKOKIE To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:  Study how Skokie’s affordable housing changes over time. Understanding Skokie’s affordable housing needs, changing demographic profile, and available housing stock is an important component of affordable housing policy.  Update the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is a key document that guides and informs the Village’s policies and work on numerous items associated with housing.  Monitor Best Practices and Work with Regional Housing Experts. There are many resources to support new ideas and innovative practices for supporting affordable housing. Based on Skokie’s demographic profile and housing stock, Regional Housing Solutions has identified a series of strategies and recommended opportunities for enhancing and increasing the availability of affordable housing in Skokie. Several of the strategies (like municipal rehabilitation programs) identified in this document are suggested through this tool.  Report on affordable housing work. Provide regular information on progress to reaching affordable housing goals and strategies. Utilize information to further educate the public on the importance and benefits of affordable housing in the community and regional work. 1 Previous framework for affordable housing goals presented funding as a goal. This is now a potential opportunity area for implementing the goals. VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 4  Return to top of Memo GOAL B: PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND IMPROVE SKOKIE’S EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING This goal focuses on investment in existing units with attention to make sure units are safe, sustainable, and accessible. To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:  Bolster Existing Repair Programs. An emerging component of affordable housing policy is to support home repair programs that assist in keeping residents (particularly older populations) in their homes and reduce the high costs created from deferred maintenance. They also can help people “age in place” through making parts of their home safer and accessible for older adults or people with disabilities. Additionally, these maintenance and repair programs can focus on aspects of sustainability – helping weatherize homes and reduce energy costs, which often can significantly contribute to housing costs. A recent Chicago Tribune Op-Ed highlighted the need for housing repair/rehabilitation programs as an alternative to home ownership programs. These programs preserve the housing stock and ensure that existing housing is available for future generations. DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies has collected a wealth of information from the US Census and the Cook County Assessor’s office. Based on this snapshot, trends in housing type are visible. Skokie’s housing typology has a large portion of multi-family housing that are comprised of two- and four-unit structures. These represent a unique opportunity to improve smaller-scale housing that supports the neighborhood character of Skokie.  Study Feasibility of Establishing a Skokie Land Trust. According to 2020 Census data, the Village of Skokie had approximately 24,067 households with 72.4% of them being owner-occupied. The remaining 27.6% were non-owner-occupied (or rental) households. Continuing to support pathways to homeownership and ensure that moderate-income households have access to homeownership opportunities is important. Creating community land trusts in which the land and the housing structure are separated, and homebuyers are able to purchase and sell the housing structure without the extra land value is a unique opportunity. Additionally, homebuyer classes and financial literacy VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 5  Return to top of Memo counseling will also help families get on the path to homeownership. Pursuing this opportunity is in line with work neighboring communities do to support homeownership opportunities.  Create a residential vacant home registry. Vacant homes are scattered throughout Skokie and have the potential to become problematic and a nuisance to the neighborhood. They generate complaints (e.g. overgrown vegetation, security issues, potential flooding, etc.). As the deferred maintenance on these homes escalates, major building components fail and homes are often prospective teardown or rendered cost prohibitive to re-occupy. The number of vacant housing units has grown slightly over the past 20 years. According to analysis by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the percentage of Skokie’s vacant housing units in 2000 was 2%; based on information from the 2020 Census, this has grown to 6.8%.2 Study the feasibility of adding a fee to buildings that qualify to be considered as vacant (not actively marketed and not occupied by people).  Code Enforcement of Rental Units. While rental properties represent 27.6% of the total housing population, they are a key component of the Village’s housing landscape and are often concentrated in areas of the community. The Village has established additional monitors to support rental housing, but the Village could explore new avenues of working with rental property owners to improve the housing stock. GOAL C: REDUCE “JOBS/HOUSING MISMATCH” AND ENSURE THAT HOUSING IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF SKOKIE’S WORKER The importance of making sure that good jobs are located near housing and housing is located near job centers has been an important cornerstone of workforce development and housing policy for decades. The spatial relationship to job seekers to where jobs are available is a function of both available job sites near residential areas, adding housing units near employment centers, and accessible transportation options. To implement this goal, the following could be considered:  Work with Major Employers to Understand Skokie’s Jobs/Housing Mismatch. Understanding where workers in Skokie live is an opportunity to examine how new housing might be made more attractive for workers (e.g. size of units, affordability levels, etc.). It also is an opportunity to work with employers to help them locate more workers locally in Skokie. GOAL D: CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE SKOKIE’S AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUPPLY Building on the work existing supply of Skokie’s affordable housing, new opportunities to create new affordable housing represent an opportunity to create mixed income communities throughout Skokie’s neighborhoods. To implement this goal, the following options could be considered: 2 CMAP Community Data Snapshot for Skokie: https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/102881/Skokie.pdf VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 6  Return to top of Memo  Establish an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. An Inclusionary Housing Ordinance will require certain new developments to include affordable housing. It is important to strike a balance between encouraging new development, while also bringing new affordable development to Skokie. Concepts range from requiring on-site units within new developments to paying a fee in lieu of providing on-site units at a development. Two attachments are related to this strategy; the first include discussion of potential parameters for an inclusionary housing ordinance; the second includes a summary of inclusionary housing ordinances in neighboring and regional communities and concepts for Skokie’s potential ordinance. In summary, eight communities were identified that have inclusionary housing ordinances in place and were studied further to determine their impact and effectiveness. These communities include Arlington Heights, Deerfield, Evanston, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Oak Park and St. Charles.  Update Zoning Code to Allow Accessory Dwelling Units. Accessory dwelling units are “coach houses” or smaller apartments within an existing home or part of a detached structure. They can serve as housing for caregivers, extended family members, or be leased to help bring new income to properties to keep homes affordable for property owners. Approximately one-third of the land use in Skokie is devoted to single-family housing units3, the creation of new smaller housing units supports utilizing this land for new housing in a “landlocked” community.  Affordable Housing Demolition Fee. The demolition of homes or significant removal of housing results in fewer homes available to households considered low- to moderate- income or “workforce.” Homes that are demolished or significantly demolished and rehabilitated are sometimes two to three times more expensive than prior to renovation.  Underutilized Parcels. The Village of Skokie is an inner-ring suburban community and is mostly built out. As a result, the supply of “buildable land” for new housing is constrained. One way the Village can assist the private market is to analyze where changes in land use makes sense to spur redevelopment. Underutilized lots, particularly parking lots, especially near employment centers, transit stations, or in the downtown Skokie are opportunities to open up new space to provide housing while eliminating less- desirable uses. The adopted Environment and Sustainability Plan, Land Use and Housing Section (LH1-2) states an action item of identifying underutilized paved areas and incentivizing conversion to sustainable green space or infill development. GOAL E: SUPPORT LOCAL AND REGION-WIDE PARTNER EFFORTS TO PROMOTE AND EXPAND FAIR HOUSING EFFORTS To implement this goal, the following could be considered:  Promote Cook County’s Residential Tenant-Landlord Ordinance (RTLO). Cook County adopted a RTLO that covers all property in suburban Cook County. As a result, Skokie is currently covered by this ordinance. The Cook County RTLO outlines the rights 3 Chicago Metropolitan Agency For Planning’s Skokie Snapshot, July 2022 (https://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/102881/Skokie.pdf) VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 7  Return to top of Memo that both tenants and landlords have in a residential rental agreement. It creates a uniform leasing experience in most of Cook County (since the ordinance is similar to Chicago, it is nearly completely uniform). A few key highlights include: 1) Creates protections around the enforcement and activity around an eviction (i.e. no lockouts); 2) Establishes renter rights (i.e. essential services like water, gas, and electricity, compliance with local building codes, temperature settings, repair in timely manner, etc.); and 3) Identifies renter responsibilities (i.e. keep unit in safe working order, remove garbage, allow reasonable access to the unit, use dwelling unit as a dwelling unit, not abandon property, etc.).

Requirement of on-site units: The required percentage of on-site units would be at a graduated scale based on the size of the development (inclusive of all unit types). The total percentage of on-site units that would be required to be affordable in developments (inclusive of all planned/proposed stages/phases of development) would be:  5 percent for developments containing 11-150 units; and  10 percent for developments containing 151 or more units. Zoning Relief and Site Plan Approval:  Consider inclusion of relief for parking, height, and other zoning requirements to incentivize additional on-site affordable units (beyond what is required). Additional Considerations for on-site unit calculations/requirements:  Affordability levels would be split between 60% of AMI and 80% of AMI;  Affordable units need to be a mix of all unit types offered throughout the building (i.e. all on-site affordable units cannot be 1-bedrooms) and need to be a mix comparable to the number of market rate units.  When percentage is not a whole number, the number is rounded up to the next whole (e.g. A building with 126 units would be subject to 5 percent on-site requirement. This is 6.3 units; the requirement would be 7 units on-site). Consideration of Fee-in-lieu  The goal of an inclusionary housing ordinance is to build new affordable housing units. A fee-in-lieu is an opportunity to generate funds that could be directed to support affordable housing and should be an option to support affordable housing when it is not feasible to provide on-site housing.  Further study of situations that are appropriate for fee-in-lieu should be considered.  Fee-in-lieu should not be an option for projects of 100 units or more.

According to the 2020 Census, Skokie is slightly wealthier than the metropolitan region and Cook County. The chart below from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing highlights the breakdown of income levels for households. Racially and ethnically, Skokie’s population is slightly different than the region, with a significant portion of the population that identifies as Asian (27.4% of the population as compared to 7.2% and 7.3% of the County and region). Housing affordability is universally discussed in terms of different levels of income limits called “area median income”. Different levels differentiate different potential levels or access points to housing assistance programs. Planetizen has an article that provides additional information on VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 10  Return to top of Memo AMI. The chart below breaks down income assumptions based on the incomes for the region that Skokie is located in. Low- and moderate income households are generally those that fall between 50%-80% of AMI; affordable workforce housing is generally considered those that fall between 80% and 120% of AMI. Deeper levels of affordability below 60% and 50% of AMI are often accompanied with supportive living environments with additional wraparound services for residents to support living arrangements. According to the Village’s adopted Consolidated Plan for Program Year 2020-2024 (PY20-24), the data analysis highlights the households most in need of support and the types of challenges found in housing units in Skokie (i.e. units were deficient in some manner). The data indicates that CDBG priorities should focus on households with older adults and younger children. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Area Family Median Income (HAMFI), approximately 52% of Skokie’s households were low- /moderate-income. The greatest percentage of low-/moderate-income households is 59% for household with at least one person 75 years of age or older, followed by 57% of households with VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 11  Return to top of Memo one or more children six years of age or younger and 39% of households with at least one person 62 to74 years of age. The breakdown of age, based on Census data, indicates that the share of the population under 18 years of age is similar to the Cook County and metropolitan region, but Skokie skews a bit older. Addressing housing challenges for the aging population will be an opportunity area for Skokie in the coming years and building strategies to support this work will be important. The Consolidated Plan further highlights challenges associated with housing in Skokie. These include:  Housing units lack complete kitchen/plumbing facilities. The estimated number of households lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities is 75 households, with 50 of these households in renter-occupied housing and 25 in owner-occupied housing. All households living in these conditions were low- and moderate-income households.  Housing is overcrowded. According to the Consolidated Plan, those living in 550 households were residing in overcrowded housing units. Overcrowded was considered 1- 1.5 people per room.  Households are cost burdened. This was identified as the greatest problem; there are more than 3,200 renter/owner-occupied households with a housing burden greater than 30% of household income, and greater than 4,000 renter/owner-occupied households with a housing burden greater than 50% of household income. VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 12  Return to top of Memo The previous chart is from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies. It highlights the nature of the regional issues of households being cost-burdened with housing. Skokie’s share of all households that are cost-burdened (spending more than 30% of income on housing) is virtually the same as Cook County and the broader metropolitan region. The goals highlighted in the next section build on Skokie’s unique demographic profile and the state of housing in the community. The attention and support for older populations and their housing needs will need to be a top priority with both the existing older population and the aging Baby Boomers. A study by IHS, identified the range of housing needs for Cook County’s older Adults. The following chart highlights the net change in older adult rental household income in Chicago is likely comparable to broader Cook County and considering Skokie’s adjacency to Chicago is noteworthy. Significant growth in the 30 percent AMI and less income range was the most significant, but almost every other income range saw growth in a five-year span as well. VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 13  Return to top of Memo Preventing deferred maintenance and making sure homes are accessibility will be a or the cornerstone of work in the Village’s housing rehabilitation programs; expansion to include renter-occupied housing will further diversify the Village’s ability to help residents. Increasing the number of affordable units through an inclusionary housing ordinance, providing gap financing for developers engaged in affordable housing projects, and supporting projects seeking low-income housing tax credits also will represent opportunities to increase the number of affordable units in Skokie and reduce the portion of households that are housing-cost burdened. VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 14  Return to top of Memo The Village of Skokie’s Commitment to Affordable Housing The Village of Skokie, founded in 1888, has a history of supporting affordable and diverse housing options. Highlights of this work include:  The Village was one of the first communities in the region to adopt a fair housing ordinance in 1967.  The Village has maintained a self-imposed property tax freeze since 1990. Recognizing the relationship that property tax bills play for housing costs, this has kept the Village’s portion of the property tax as a percentage of the total tax bill low, which is currently around 6% of a typical property tax bill.  Since 1975, the Village has administered its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to support the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing for income eligible individuals. The Village has funded a housing rehab program since 1983. In recent years, the Village’s Consolidated Plan has consistently targeted and allocated funding housing rehabilitation.  In addition to the Housing Chapter of the Adopted Comprehensive Plan (Housing portion approved by the Village Board in 2007), the Village adopts a five-year Consolidated Plan to guide its funding for annual allocations for its CDBG entitlement. During each new process for plan development, a Needs Assessment is conducted through which housing availability, characteristics, and affordability are reviewed and documented.  The Illinois Department of Housing Authority (IHDA) adopted the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeals Act (AHPAA) in 2003 to support the development and inclusion of moderately-priced housing in all communities across the State. Communities that maintain less than 10% of their housing as affordable by IHDA’s metrics must adopt and submit an Affordable Housing Plan to IHDA. Skokie has maintained compliance with this act since its adoption. At IHDA’s last measure, Skokie had 19.9% of its housing considered affordable.  The Village has long recognized the relationship between housing and transportation for households and has advocated for the investment in public transportation options. The opening of the Oakton Street Yellow Line Station in 2012 marked significant investment ($20 million from all funding partners) in both bringing workers by mass transit into Skokie’s downtown and providing area residents access to Chicago’s employment center. Further investment and partnership with Pace on its Pulse Line development connects Skokie residents and workers to eastern and western destinations via bus rapid transit options.  Congregate Living Facilities are permitted in any residential district and are a special use in other districts. This gives flexibility to this housing type. Skokie has forty facilities and is recognized as a leader in providing this housing. VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 15  Return to top of Memo  In 2014, the Village adopted the Residential Rental Unit Standards and Neighborhood Integrity Initiative which required the registration of rental units. The ordinance requires the inspection of every rental unit prior to being offered to rent and when properties are sold; landlords also are also required to complete a Village-offered landlord training program.  The Village’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program, started in 2019, was designed to increase investment in qualifying neighborhoods where the Village had made investment to public infrastructure such as road, sidewalk, or alley improvements.  Skokie’s 2020 Commitment to Affordable Housing highlighted several priorities for affordable housing that include supporting the Neighborhood Enhancement and Home Improvement Program; providing housing financial and emergency assistance to households during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the development and implementation of the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative, which requires inspection of units and training for landlords.  Since 2018 the Village has participated in a Regional Assessment of Fair housing, led by the Cook County Bureau of Economic Development. This collaboration among CDBG entitlement communities, public housing authorities, and not-for-profit organizations provides analysis and recommendations to further fair housing efforts in Cook County.  Impact Behavioral Health broke ground on a 16-unit apartment building in downtown Skokie. Funding for the $8 million structure was made possible from the Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA). The Village, Impact, and the state were able to jointly facilitate this project for Impact’s low-income program participants.  In 2020 and 2023, two new rental housing developments established Skokie as a desired location for new apartments (The Boulevard and Highpoint at 8000 North). In 2022, building on the success of recent residential development in Skokie, two projects under consideration opted to include 5% of units at levels affordable to 100% of Area Median Incomes (AMI). In total this was 15 more units of affordable housing for the Village in new developments. The Village Board in November 2022 directed the Plan Commission to engage in additional study and consideration of affordable housing policy recommendations. In January, February, and March 2023, the Plan Commission engaged in meetings to review strategies, hear from subject matter experts, and formulate recommendations for the Village Board.  The Village has a variety of housing options for residents holding vouchers from the Housing Authority of Cook County as well as other units with on-site affordable housing through partner organizations and Cook County.

Earlier this month, a draft copy of the plan was made available to the public at https://www.skokie.org/DocumentCenter/View/l 48/CDBG—Action-Plan-PDF. Approval of the plan will be requested at the meeting on Monday, April 17. Background The term of the five-year Consolidated Plan began May 1, 2020 and will continue through April 30, 2024. The elements of the Consolidated Plan address community issues as they relate to low/moderate-income residents. The one-year Action Plan serves as the annual funding application to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funding. It includes the Village's strategies to address community development needs, project and activity descriptions, and certifications regarding Skokie's eligibility to apply for federal funding. In addition, the Action Plan addresses the Village's continued efforts to prevent homelessness, aid persons with special needs, enhance the supply of affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, enhance social services, and promote citizen participation in the CDBG process. A draft of the one-year Action Plan was distributed to the Mayor and Board of Trustees and is attached to this memorandum. HUD requires the Consolidated and Action Plans of all communities receiving CDBG entitlement funds. HUD regulations require that public input to the Action Plan be sought through a legal notice, making a draft of the plan available to the public, and conducting a public hearing. In addition to the calendar of CDBG public hearings on the Village's website, the Action Plan legal ad was published in the Skokie Review, a publication within the Chicago Tribune, on March 13, 2023.

According to the 2020 United States Census Bureau, Skokie has a population of 66,422. Skokie covers 10.06 square miles of land and is bordered by Glenview and Wilmette to the north, Evanston to the east, Lincolnwood and Chicago to the south, and Niles and Morton Grove to the west. A Council-Manager form of government governs Skokie, which includes a Mayor and a six-member Board of Trustees, elected at-large every four years, and a professional Village Manager and staff of almost 500 to execute municipal policies and programs and enforce all codes, ordinances, and regulations. The Village is also served by 17 advisory commissions and staffed by more than 250 resident volunteers. The Department of Community Development administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an entitlement community of over 50,000 people, Skokie receives its annual CDBG funding directly from the Federal Government in the form of a formula grant. The overall goal of the program is to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, particularly for low/moderate-income persons. CDBG is the only HUD program for which the Village qualifies for direct funding. The receipt of CDBG funding is dependent on the completion of, approval of, and adherence to a five-year Consolidated Plan. The intent of the Consolidated Plan is to assist communities in developing a collaborative process to establish a unified vision for housing and community development actions. It includes information on the community’s needs, the housing market, goals and objectives, activity priorities, performance measures, and various public certifications. It also includes the Village’s first Annual Action Plan relative to the CDBG activities and other community development efforts for the 2015 Program Year. The Village of Skokie Consolidated Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a five-year plan for Program Years 2020-2024, commencing on May 1, 2020. The functions of the Consolidated Plan are to create a planning document that builds upon a participatory process, to apply for federal funding under HUD’s formula grant programs, to establish strategies to follow while implementing HUD-funded projects, and to create an Action Plan that provides the basis for annual assessments of the Village’s performance.  Return to top of CDBG Memo The most important function of the Consolidated Plan is to guide the Village in the annual funding allocation process for the CDBG program. The primary components of the Consolidated Plan are: • The Planning Process • Needs Assessment • Housing Market Analysis • Strategic Plan • Annual Action Plan Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan The Action Plan is designed to guide actions to be taken over a one-year period of time, from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024. It is based on the identified needs in the areas of affordable housing, homelessness, other special needs, and non-housing community development needs. It is intended to address the three primary goals of the Housing and Community Development Act: provide decent housing, provide a suitable living environment, and expand economic opportunities. Skokie’s goals are to ensure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable; improve infrastructure; improve facilities; provide financial assistance for programs and services; and conduct planning and administration activities. Program objectives include providing support to homeowners, organizations, and public entities. Program outcomes include improving facilities and providing services for a better quality of life for low/moderate-income Skokie residents. A one-page vision statement with goals and objectives was prepared to succinctly communicate the Village’s plan for the CDBG program from May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2024, and it is available as an attachment to this executive summary. In addition, maps for infrastructure and public facilities projects are attached to this section for reference and discussed in AP-50 Geographic Distribution. Evaluation of past performance Since 1975, the Village has successfully administered the CDBG program, resurfaced streets, provided homeowners with financial opportunities to maintain their homes and sidewalks, and assisted other low/moderate-income individuals, households, and neighborhoods. There are, however, a number of obstacles to meeting underserved needs in the Village: 1. Empirical data. Multiple agencies consulted do not track unmet need in any quantitative way, and many do not collate their service statistics in ways that track the municipality of residence, income, racial information, or size of household as required by HUD to receive CDBG money or fulfill the requirements of the Consolidated Planning process. Some of the needs assessment information and data are based on best estimates. 2. Funding limits. A large amount of the Village’s needs is in the area of public services. The 15% spending cap for public services presents a challenge, as service agencies have limited funding options, including the after-effects of the State of Illinois budget crisis, compared to other CDBG-eligible programs. 3. Vacant land. There is limited land available for new housing development. 4. Cost of housing. Aside from persons receiving housing subsidies, many low-income residents are paying in excess of 30% of their household incomes on housing costs.  Return to top of CDBG Memo 5. Vacancy rate. The low vacancy rate for both renter- and owner-occupied housing provides for few housing choices for low-income persons. 6. Zoning Allowances. The Village of Skokie Zoning Ordinance has progressive group home and community live-in residence provisions; however, there are limited opportunities for the type of dense, multi-family housing that may begin to address the housing needs of the low/moderate-income, non-elderly and family households. Many of the construction projects from applicants may take several years to complete as additional time and/or funding is needed to ensure the projects are done correctly, maximizing the impact of CDBG funds. Additionally, applicants have expressed concerns about meeting the program year deadlines for project completion due to limitations on supplies and difficulties finding contractors to complete the work. Any extensions from applicants will be submitted with a formal request and granted, if possible. Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process The Village conducted an extensive consultation process during the five-year Consolidated Plan development to solicit input from social service agencies, community development organizations, and residents regarding the needs of the community, the programs and services offered in response to those needs, and the number of clients benefiting from those programs and services. Questionnaires, focus group meetings, and online surveys were made available for formal community input, while newsletter articles and website updates informed the public of the CDBG planning process. In addition, staff attended several board and commission meetings, which not only gathered input for the development of the plan, but also provided educational opportunities for these entities to learn more about the CDBG program. Public comments for the Consolidated and Action Plans were requested at three public hearings held on December 19, 2022, and January 17 and February 6, 2023. A final public hearing was held on April 17, 2023, at which time the Village Board of Trustees approved the PY23 Action Plan. The Village conducts a minimum of three public hearings each year relative to the CDBG program, the Consolidated Plan, and the Action Plan. These hearings include an annual review of CDBG and Consolidated Plan goals and objectives, a progress report on current CDBG activities, solicitation and receipt of funding proposals, funding recommendations and allocations, and approval of the plan(s). Hearings are publicized through the Village website (http://skokie.org/1203), publication of legal notices in a newspaper of local distribution, and articles are written for the Village’s bi-monthly NewSkokie newsletter, which is distributed to approximately 28,000 addresses in the Village. Staff will meet with and advise anyone interested in applying for CDBG program funds. The Action Plan public hearing notice was published in the Skokie Review on March 10, 2023, for loyal readers of Skokie’s weekly newspaper. A draft of the Action Plan was made available for public comment at https://www.skokie.org/1203/CDBG-PY23- Action-Plan---Draft-for-Public for a 30-day period as stipulated by HUD regulations. The plan also reviews the institutional structure of the Village of Skokie departments, institutions, and agencies involved in the delivery of social services.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Summary of public comments The Village conducted four discussion forums, prepared four online surveys, attended four citizen advisory board/commission meetings, and held four public hearings during the preparation of the five-year Consolidated Plan and the first one-year Action Plan development process. No public comments were received during the draft Consolidated Plan, or the PY20, PY21, PY22, or PY23 Action Plans, during the official comment periods. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them There is a general community concern regarding the upkeep and maintenance of the Village’s rental housing supply. The specific building and/or unit maintenance will not be addressed as part of the Village’s CDBG program; however, the Village’s Residential Rental Unit Standards and Neighborhood Integrity Ordinance, approved in January 2014, will address such needs with other funding sources. Instead, the Village will invest CDBG funding in eligible neighborhoods with public infrastructure improvements, impacting the neighborhoods at a larger scale. Economic development issues such as new development and job creation will continue to be a major focus of Village efforts; however, they are not expected to be the focus of the Village’s CDBG funds. Summary According to www.hudexchange.info, the CDBG entitlement program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled communities such as the Village of Skokie to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing, providing a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low/moderate-income persons. The Village of Skokie chooses to focus its CDBG funding on the first two goals, providing decent housing and providing a suitable living environment. The third goal, expanding economic opportunities, will be primarily addressed by the Village’s Economic Development Division with other funding sources. Return to top of CDBG Memo  Return to top of CDBG Memo PR-05 Lead & Responsible Agencies – 91.200(b) Agency/entity responsible for preparing/administering the Consolidated Plan Describe the agency/entity responsible for preparing the Consolidated Plan and those responsible for administration of each grant program and funding source.

In addition, summer 2019 focus group topics discussed job creation and training, affordable housing and housing insecurity, mental health/persons with disabilities, and seniors’ issues and opportunities. other entities such as the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC), Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County, Cook County Health Department, and many community service providers. In addition, Skokie residents were consulted, including the general public and members of the Economic Development Commission, Human Relations Commission, Commission on Family Services, and the Board of Health. The focus group meetings served the dual purpose of obtaining information from service organizations and exchanging information and resources between the participating organizations. Many of the agencies contacted are also part of the Skokie Interagency Network which meets monthly with staff from the Health and Human Services Department to discuss issues and strategies relative to the delivery of social services in the Skokie area. The Interagency Network was founded in 1994 to provide a monthly forum for human services providers to meet, discuss community needs, and strategize about improving the delivery of services to their constituents. 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 Health and Human Services Department works with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County on an as-needed basis to address the needs of homeless persons and persons at risk of homelessness. In 2014, a Homeless Protocol was established to assist the homeless population with temporary shelter. In addition, Human Services can be contacted by any sheltered or unsheltered homeless person to find other resources to help them take the next step(s) toward permanent housing. Human Services staff members work with the YWCA, Family Promise North Shore, and Connections for the Homeless in addressing the needs of chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth. These organizations work with the Village and the Continuum of Care to ensure that the needs at each stage of homelessness are addressed. 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 does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding directly, so Human Services staff members  Return to top of CDBG Memo work with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County and other advocacy organizations to develop and maintain policies and procedures to coordinate provision of emergency shelter, street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid rehousing assistance, and other services.

The financial resources listed are not all- encompassing but illustrate other organizations’ abilities and the Village’s ability to use federal, state, and local funding to address the priority needs and goals of this plan. The funds are anticipated to be utilized by various regional and local entities that serve Skokie. On February 27, 2023 the Program Year (PY) 2023 budget for the Department of Housing and Urban Development was announced, providing updates on full-year allocations for municipalities who participate in the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. While the Village had previously budgeted to receive around $600,000 for the program year, this year it was announced that the actual disbursement for the Village of Skokie would actually be $552,656. As this funding is less than what was received in previous years, less money will be available to our subgrantees and organizations. See AP-20 for a full breakdown of how the Village of Skokie plans on utilizing the PY2023 grant funding. In future program years, the Village expects to still receive a high number of applicants for CDBG grant funding. The Village will continue to accept annual funding applications from any entities that would like to apply, and a selection process will proceed that emphasizes the Village’s goals and vision.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Friday, February 4, 2023, through Monday, March 7, 2023.

The federal funds will serve either as gap financing for Village projects and programs, or funding matches to improve access to organizations’ programs, projects, or services. Funding provided through the CDBG program will allow organizations and the Village to meet the needs of some of the community’s most vulnerable residents. The balance of street resurfacing and sidewalk replacement costs will be funded by the Local Fuel Tax (LFT) fund. The balance of program administration costs and the Village of Skokie Social Worker position will be funded by the General Fund. The balances of all other projects and activities will be funded by other sources obtained by the sub-recipients, including other grants, loans, and private donations. If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan Per SP-35: The Village has owned a few vacant properties; however, most have been sold and/or are under contract. Although a portion of these could be used to address the needs identified in the plan, development costs for market-rate developments have warranted subsidies. The properties are planned for mixed-use or residential development and are located within walking distance of the Oakton-Skokie CTA Station. There is hope for the potential to provide affordable housing in mixed-income developments in the future. Other publicly-owned land includes the public rights-of-way, where street resurfacing and sidewalk replacement projects may occur, improving low/moderate- income neighborhoods or assisting low/moderate-income households with their shares of public improvement costs. Discussion Per SP-35: It would be desirable to develop mixed-income properties with density bonuses and without financial assistance from the Village. The Village may consider financial assistance, however, if developments that meet the goals and objectives of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Sector (“Neighborhood”) Plans, and Consolidated Plan cannot be realized without such assistance.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Friday, February 4, 2023, through Monday, March 7, 2023.

The geographically-focused street resurfacing projects will be public infrastructure-related and located in a low/moderate- income-eligible Census Block Group. In addition, this year’s 50/50 sidewalk replacement program focus area will be bound by Main Street to the north, Oakton Street to the south, and the Village limits to the east and west. Other households outside the focus area may participate upon request. Only income-eligible households will qualify for funding. Finally, the remaining projects and activities will be Village-wide; however, only income-eligible residents or households will qualify for funding. Public services priorities were selected through a tier system. Tier 1 organizations are depended on by the Health and Human Services Department on a daily basis. Tier 2 organizations are depended on by the Health and Human Services Department on a less-frequent basis; however, they provide critical services when needed. Tier 3 organizations provide commendable but not critical services, and staff recommends funding these activities this year. HUD continues to encourage prioritizing the distribution of CDBG funds, providing more funding to fewer organizations that provide critical services to Skokie residents. Tier 4 organizations also provide commendable services; however, there are other resources in or near Skokie, or CDBG funding is being prioritized elsewhere. The priority needs presented in the Strategic Plan chapter represent the greatest needs that should be addressed by the CDBG program. The Village has other needs, and they are expected to be addressed through other resources.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-38 Project Summary Project Summary Information Capital Improvements/Housing VOS - Home Funding will be used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family 80,945 Improvement homes, which began in 1983. The request will enable low/moderate-income Program households (less than 80% of area median family income) to be eligible to receive grants up to $12,000 to pay for building materials or contractors' services. A grant (in lieu of interest payment) for the moderate-income households (50-80% of median family income) will continue its trial period. In addition, if a homeowner received CDBG funding in the past, fulfilled its contractual obligations with the Village, and has remained in the home for an additional 15 years, they could be eligible for additional funding as long as the household remains income-eligible. (14A) VOS - Funding will be used to further affordable housing in Skokie at a neighborhood level. 80,800 Neighborhood The expectation is that these funds will be used to facilitate improving existing Enhancement housing units that are affordable for low/moderate-income households.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed Approximately 30% of the total $600,000 budget for Program Year 2023 will be dedicated to improving a low/moderate-income area benefit-eligible Block Group: • Census Tract 8068.02 Block Group 2 (bound by Church Street to the north, Grove Street to the south, Skokie Boulevard to the west, and Kolmar Avenue to the east). • Census Tract 8074 Block Group 4 (bound by Main Street to the north, Mulford Street to the south, Kenton Ave to the west, and Kostner Avenue to the east). The rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically Certain widespread activities or projects are difficult to trace the benefit to specific individuals (limited clientele) who are low/moderate-income. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) accounts for this difficulty in 24 CFR 570.208 (a)(1)(ii) allowing area-wide benefits to low/moderate-income persons. Under this rule, the activity must occur in the highest quartile of Skokie Census Block Groups by the concentration of low/moderate-income persons. The areas are shaded and identified in the Low/Moderate-Income Eligible Areas Map provided in section SP-10 Geographic Priorities of the 5- year Consolidated Plan. The street resurfacing project for Program Year 2023 is illustrated in the Low-Income Area Infrastructure Project Map on the following page. Under this program, deteriorating streets Kilpatrick Avenue, Keating Avenue, and Davis Street (with Road Biotics ratings ranging from 3.065 (Kilpatrick) to 3.71 (Davis) out of 5.00, where 0.00 is best and 5.00 is worst), will be resurfaced in U.S. Census Tract 8068.02, Block Group 2. Additionally, under this program, deteriorating street Kolmar Avenue (with Road Biotics rating of 3.89 out of 5.00) will be resurfaced in the U.S. Census Tract 8074, Block Group 4. As of April 1, 2019, Skokie is no longer an “exception community”2, as Skokie’s top quartile of Census Block Groups exceeds the minimum threshold of 51% to fund public infrastructure improvement projects. Additionally, the Limited Clientele Projects Map on the page that follows the infrastructure map, identifies the general locations of public facility improvements that will benefit a limited clientele. The projects will benefit a specific group of beneficiaries rather than all residents of a particular neighborhood or area. Of the subgrantees on the Limited Clientele Projects Map, two organizations are based outside of the boundaries of Skokie in neighboring communities but provide important services to Skokie residents.

Discussion The public facility and public infrastructure improvements comprise 65% of the funding distribution, followed by program planning and administration (20%) and public services (15%) activities. Census Block Groups 8068.02-2 and 8074-4 are eligible to receive CDBG funding for street resurfacing. Approximately 30% of the total $600,000 budget for Program Year 2023 will be dedicated to improving a low/moderate-income area. The balance of the public facility and public infrastructure improvements will benefit limited clientele Village-wide, rather than to all residents of a particular neighborhood or area.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g) Introduction The Village of Skokie’s historic commitment to diversity is the main driver for its affordable housing success. This includes a diverse economy, diverse housing types, and a diverse community. The commitment is primarily demonstrated by a long history of planning and zoning decisions that allowed higher density housing developments. Housing is considered affordable when housing costs are no greater than 30% of household income, particularly for low-income households, which is 80% of median household gross income. Affordable housing is out of reach in many parts of the Chicagoland area, largely due to a favoring of single-family homes over multi-family developments. Inner ring suburbs like Skokie are well-positioned to provide affordable housing opportunities due to the age of our existing housing stock and supply of multi-family buildings. Provided the Village continues to support inclusive land use policies and protect existing housing stock, the Village’s higher percentage of affordable housing should continue. There are several housing initiatives that will be funded during Program Year 2023 to support homeless, non- homeless, and special-needs residents who need safe and affordable housing. The programs that are expected to impact most individuals or households are the Home Improvement Program, the Neighborhood Enhancement Program, and group homes (also known as Community Integrated Living Arrangements, or CILAs). One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 0 Non-Homeless (Home Improvement 15, Neighborhood Enhancement 4) 19 Special-Needs 0 Total 19 Table 9 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 0 The Production of New Units 0 Rehab of Existing Units (Home Improvement) 15 Acquisition of Existing Units 0 Total 15 Table 10 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion The Village of Skokie is currently enhancing their Affordable Housing policies, which will be more prevalently available in both the next Annual Action Plan as well as the Consolidated Plan. These policies aim to provide long-range goals to understand the perspectives of the affordable housing issues and needs for current and prospective Village residents. Additional methods in future policies include the creation of potential new affordable housing while investing in existing housing.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h) Introduction The Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) provides low/moderate-income housing services to Village residents by operating the 126-unit Armond King Apartments at 9238 Gross Point Road in Skokie and administering the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. As of March 2023, which was the latest available data, there were 254 HCVs in use in Skokie’s three Zip Codes (60076, 60077, and 60203)3. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs for public housing In fall 2015, the HACC began remodeling the private units, interior common areas, building exterior, and grounds of the Armond King Apartments. Multiple units were converted to accommodate disabled and sensory-impaired residents, including the conversion of 27 existing units to meet Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). This effort was a long-term investment; therefore, there are no plans during the next year to make improvements to public housing in Skokie. The Village has Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in the management and participate in homeownership The HACC has a community room, kitchen, and library for the residents to be involved in social, recreational, and/or personal enrichment activities. There is a large Russian population, so information is available in English and Russian. The on-staff Asset Manager is a resource for the residents as well. Housing Choice Voucher Program participants have the opportunity to become future homeowners. Per the HACC’s previous website: REALIZE THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP For most Americans, purchasing a home is the largest single investment they will ever make. Owning a home is a way to achieve economic self-sufficiency. When you own and properly maintain your home, you can be sure that you and your family will always have a decent, safe and sanitary place to live. Your voucher can make owning a home affordable. Prepare now for homeownership: Set up and maintain a budget, live within your means, clean up your credit and save regularly. GETTING STARTED The Homeownership Option is intended for all eligible Housing Choice Voucher Program participants and you will receive all pertinent information when you engage our staff. If you currently have a Housing Choice Voucher, your dream of homeownership is now within your reach. Please contact one of our [Family Self-Sufficiency] FSS and Home Ownership Coordinators … to get started. 3 https://thehacc.org/  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.

If the Public Housing Authority is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance The Housing Authority of Cook County is not designated as troubled. Discussion The Village researched the homeownership program to understand how the program may benefit Housing Choice Voucher holders who live in Skokie. Only active Housing Choice Voucher families are eligible to participate in the homeownership program, as long as they have completed an initial one-year lease term. Families on the waiting list do not qualify for the program. In general, the home must be located within the HACC’s jurisdiction. The family may purchase a home in a jurisdiction other than Cook County, provided the housing authority in the receiving jurisdiction operates a homeownership program for which the homeownership applicant qualifies. The HACC provides information about the program to Housing Choice Voucher participants. Interested participants are invited to attend a homeownership orientation information session to learn about the eligibility requirements. Eligible participants choose their own real estate agents when the HACC approves them to begin the home buying process. The total Housing Choice Voucher count remains the same; however, the “rental” voucher is converted to a “homeownership” voucher. The Director of Human Services with the HACC oversees the homeownership program.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction Village staff and public services providers will assist homeless and other special needs populations as needed. Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The Village Social Worker and other Human Services, Public Safety, and Public Works personnel will reach out to unsheltered homeless on an as-needed basis. The Homeless Protocol, established in 2014, will be followed, and care packages will be made available. Referrals to supporting services will be provided to interested homeless individuals, couples, and families. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The Health and Human Services Department will follow the Homeless Protocol. In addition, any individuals, families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth, including those who are living with family or friends, will be assisted by the Health and Human Services Department staff to find shelter and support services that will help them ultimately find permanent housing. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again The Health and Human Services Department will work with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County and other services providers to help the homeless population make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the duration of homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing, and preventing the recurrence of homelessness. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care, and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The Health and Human Services Department will work with local and regional service providers and local school districts to address issues such as homelessness prevention and the needs of the special needs population, including housing, health, social, employment, education, and youth services. Discussion Village staff will continue to monitor the homeless and special needs populations on their needs and amend the Homeless Protocol or other administrative policies when necessary.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.220(j) Introduction The housing market and inventory of conditions in Skokie provide a number of constraints to the provision of affordable housing, which include the following: 1. Availability of Land. There is virtually no land available for new housing development. 2. Cost of Housing. Aside from persons receiving housing subsidies, many low-income residents are paying in excess of what is considered affordable for their income range. 3. Utilization of Zoning Allowances. The Village of Skokie Zoning Ordinance accommodates increased densities for planned developments and has progressive group home and community live-in residence provisions; however, cost-effective redevelopment opportunities for the type of dense, multi-family housing that may begin to address the housing needs of low/moderate-income households are extremely limited. 4. Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The Village continues conducting an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) with the Cook County Home Consortium along with neighboring communities. Part of this process included coordination with other governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations, reviewing goals to research and reduce impediments to fair housing. The group is continuing meetings and activities to finalize the plan. The Village is hopeful to have a final document approved during the 2023 program year after integrating the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) proposed rule. 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 In July 2015, the Village worked with the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and an Urban Land Institute (ULI) developer panel on the issues and opportunities in the neighborhoods within 2,000 feet of the Oakton-Skokie CTA Station, including all or portions of three of the Census Block Groups that have ≥51% low/moderate-income residents. The outcome of this effort included goals, objectives, and strategies for reinvesting in Skokie Boulevard and the neighborhoods. Issues to consider include: Skokie Boulevard • Consider workforce or blended affordable/tax credit housing along the Skokie Boulevard corridor to encourage multifamily housing • Encourage mixed-use developments south of Madison Street, while staying open/receptive to other commercial development opportunities. Winnebago Park and Tecumseh Park Neighborhoods • Encourage the rehabilitation of the 2, 3, and 4-flats, as the housing stock is solid • Seek out or solicit developers to acquire multiple apartment buildings and offer a master lease to incoming international IS+TP companies. A master lease can accommodate new employees looking for housing near work, and this concept will encourage the rehabilitation and upkeep of multiple properties in these neighborhoods. R5 Transit Area Housing Zoning Regulations • Adopt the draft R5 zoning district regulations to increase the allowable density in existing multifamily neighborhoods  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. Oakton Street Corridor (from CTA Station to Floral Avenue) • Focus on attracting multifamily apartment or mixed-use development at each end of the corridor to create gateways and a walkable Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) district along Oakton Street. The Crafty Beaver site has the greatest redevelopment opportunity in the Downtown area. St. Peter School Site (Lincoln Avenue and Niles Center Road) • Consider encouraging the archdiocese to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to solicit interest in rehabilitating part of the existing school site to be loft-style rental apartments. Discussion regarding tax policies affecting land, fees, and charges are expected to remain unchanged; however, these items and policies affecting the return on residential investment may be considered in future program years. Discussion The Village will continue to support local organizations in their efforts to maintain or create affordable units for existing and future Skokie residents, including the conversion of units to eliminate barriers to ADA-accessibility.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k) Introduction The following actions will be undertaken by the Village in an attempt to identify obstacles to meeting underserved needs and propose actions to overcome those obstacles, foster and maintain affordable housing, evaluate and reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and enhance coordination. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The Village plans to fairly distribute CDBG funding to organizations who will attempt to address the obstacles in meeting the underserved needs of the community. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing In addition to funding the Home Improvement Program with CDBG funding, on May 1, 2016, the Department of Community Development increased the limits on the Home Improvement Program to $12,000 for all repair, maintenance, and emergency improvement needs. The payback terms of the 15-year agreements changed to 100% payback for the first 5 years, then drop 10% each year for the next 10 years. Also, since 2016, the moderate-income (80% of Median Family Income, or MFI, for the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL, Metropolitan Area) households will be eligible for the grant program in lieu of the loan interest subsidy. This limited- time arrangement will continue to be monitored prior to offering grants to moderate-income households on a permanent basis. In addition, funding has been budgeted for the Village’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program (formerly known as the affordable housing initiative), established in PY19. In 2023, the Village will continue working toward addressing the issues and implementing the opportunities identified in the Urban Land Institute (ULI) developer panel summary report. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The current understanding of the Skokie Health and Human Services Department as it pertains to high Blood Lead Levels (BLLs) in children are cultural practices or lead sources outside of Skokie, and not necessarily the paint found in Skokie homes. The Skokie Health Department will continue to monitor the Lead-Based Paint (LBP) issue, and if there is a case for further action, the existing procedures will be reviewed and amended as needed. In the interim, the Skokie Health Department plans to educate residents on potential sources of lead, such as the eyeliner known as “Kohl” or “Surma” which is applied to infants in certain immigrant communities. Per the Illinois Lead Program 2019 Annual Surveillance Report4, an estimated 86% of Skokie’s housing stock is was built prior to 1978. Of the 858 Skokie children <3 years of age had their BLLs tested in 2019, 0.3% had levels ≥10µ/dL and 1.7% had levels≥5µ/dL. In addition, the Community Development Department will continue to monitor lead levels in CILAs and homes participating in the Home Improvement Program where paint disturbance will occur or there are deteriorating paint conditions. Both departments will continue to work together as-needed when lead-based paint health issues are potentially caused by poor property maintenance. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The Village will work toward maintaining or increasing affordable housing, providing a stable base environment from which to work. In addition, the Village’s Economic Development Division is making strides to grow the Village’s economy by working to redevelop vacant properties and commercial spaces, attracting new businesses to Skokie, and supporting the Illinois Science + Technology Park. Job (and employer) training is another initiative to ultimately improve the socioeconomic status of low/moderate-income families and individuals, including disabled individuals.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023. Most if not all the economic development activities will be accomplished by utilizing several funding sources including the Village’s Economic Development Fund, tax increment finance (TIF), and local funding, with little to no CDBG funding. The Village of Skokie is currently in the process of adopting an updated Sustainability Plan, which has several long- term goals on energy and utility savings for families, through energy-efficient appliances and products, water-saving techniques, and other updates to outdated consuming measures. Actions planned to develop an institutional structure Village staff will provide technical assistance to sub-recipients throughout the program year, including on-site or Zoom.us-based pre-construction meetings, quarterly reporting assistance, and on-site or desktop monitoring. Since the Village’s 2014 and 2017 HUD monitoring visits, plus interim Davis-Bacon monitoring visits, policies and procedures related to grant management continue to be reviewed, updated as needed, and documented in the CDBG procedures manual. CDBG administration staff will continue to look for operational efficiencies and attend relevant training and conferences. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies In addition to the aforementioned technical assistance and monitoring activities, Health and Human Services staff will continue to collaborate with Community Development staff and reach out to housing and social services agencies as needed. The Village has scheduled consultations with the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) and the Suburban Alliance to End Homelessness in efforts to follow up with post-COVID strategies to make changes as needed. Discussion The Village is committed to making Skokie a better place to live, work, and play for all residents, workers, and employers. The activities listed above will enhance this effort for low/moderate-income residents, households, and neighborhood https://dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/environmental-health-protection/lead-poisoning-prevention/childhood- surveillance.html#publications  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.

The amount of any grant funds returned to the line of credit for which the 0 planned use has not been included in a prior statement or plan. 5. The amount of income from float-funded activities 0 Total Program Income 0 Other CDBG Requirements 1. The amount of urgent need activities 0 2. The estimated percentage of CDBG funds that will be used for activities that benefit 86.08 persons of low and moderate income Discussion The Village’s program income is generated by sales of homes improved or repaired through the Home Improvement Program and are sold within 15 years of their improvement or repair. This funding will continue to be repurposed in the CDBG program. The Village plans on continuing to request for funding for the Home Improvement and Neighborhood Enhancement programs, with the intention on utilizing previously unused funding prior to newly awarded funds. This program is often sought after from Village residents, however previous staff turnover has made it difficult to utilize this program to its fullest potential.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.  Return to top of CDBG Memo Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.
