Re: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding
Reconstruction of Logan Street from Hickory to State
The Village has recently received notification from Cook County
that the above - referenced project is no longer considered eligible
:for Block .Grant .funding due to a change in HUD guidelines requiring
the County to use 1990, rather than 1980, census data in
determining eligibility as a low to moderate income area (defined
as having at least 42% of residents low to mod income) . The project
area, which had a concentration of 42.29% low and mod income
residents, now has only 22.09% according to the 1990 census.
Board members will note that Cook County has offered the Village
the opportunity to transfer these funds previously awarded for
Logan Street ($125,000) to the Village single - family rehabilitation
account. The Village would then have $200,000 (rather than the
$75,000 originally awarded) for single - family rehab projects.
Recipients would of course still be required to qualify as low or
moderate income in order to receive rehab assistance.
As Mr. Schwertman of Cook County has confirmed that the alternative
is to lose the funding, staff is recommending adoption of the
attached resolution requesting this transfer of funds. Please do
not hesitate to contact me at 257 -1595 with any questions.
