Dear Mr. Teddy:
CSDI / CDBG
Single Family Rehab Program
Chicago Southland Development, Inc. (CSDI) has received the application for the 2003 -04
Community Development Block Grant Program from Cook County. In order for us to complete
the County's application we need an updated Fair Housing Ordinance from your village.
Additionally, the Resolution authorizing CSDI as the administrator of your village's Community
Development Block Grant Program has expired. Therefore, another Resolution needs to be
passed and a certified copy of the Resolution sent to CSDI. Your village's Resolution and
Ordinance must be included in the CSDI's (2003 -04) grant application package.
The grant application needs to be received by Cook County by February 28, 2003. Consequently,
we need your Resolution and Ordinance no later than February 14, 2003. As usual, time is of the
essence so your personal attention to this matter will help ensure an unaffected continuation of
this very needed and beneficial program for your village and it's residents.
It has been a privilege for CSDI to administer your village's program for the past five years. We
look forward to the beginning of another successful five -year period. Please do not hesitate to
call if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,?.
