HOUSING REHABILITATION GRANTS AVAILABLE THROUGH VILLAGE One of the primary national objectives of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 is the development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environ- ment for persons of low and moderate income. To that end, the Cook County . Development Block Grant Program was established. The primary goal is the conservation and expansion of housing in Cook County to provide a decent home and a suitable living envi- ronment for all persons, but primarily for those of low and moderate income. The Village of Lemont, working with Cook County as a Subgrantee, administers the Community Development Block Grant Program for housing within the corporate limits of the Village. Housing rehabilitation activities include, but are not necessarily limited to, repairs of single family and multi- ple family homes in the way of siding, electrical, plumbing, window and door replacernent, increasing ener- gy efficiency through insulation, storm doors and windows, and the correction of code violations. It should be noted that the amount of the grant becomes a lifetime lien against the property and is paid back to the County upon sale of the property. Block Grant Program eligibility is based upon household income and fami- ly size. The following table indicates the most recent criteria as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. NUMBER OF PERSONS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+ LOWER INCOME LIMITS FOR A FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD $26,650 $30,450 34,250 $38,100 $41,150 $44,150 $47,200 $50,150 VERY LOW INCOME LIMITS FORA FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD $16,450 $18,050 $21,400 $23,800 $25,700 $27,600 $29,500 $31,400 Interested persons should contact Ken Tulley, Building & Zoning Administrator, at 257 -1581 for additional information. Commuter parking lot opens METRA has completed their expansion of the Lemont Commuter Parking Facility. With the recent lighting and signage installation, the lot has been fully opened for commuter use. The expansion added a tot Of 174 spaces to th existing facility. The addition ac_.es will ._provide ficient parking for both daily fee and permit parking. The Village has received some inquiries regarding the number of handicapped spaces which METRA installed in the south parking lot. Based upon Federal and State handicapped accessibility standards, the installation represented the minimum number of spaces required for a lot of this size. The facility is an attractive addition to the area, and contains decorative lighting fixtures which will later be extended into the downtown area. It should be noted that paring is free on weekends for those who may want to visit the downtown shops or stroll along the Illinois & Michigan Canal.
