HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT GENERAL PROGRAM SUMMARY The primary goal of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is the development of viable urban communities through the provision of decent housing with a suitable living environment and the expansion of economic opportunities , principally for persons of low and moderate income. Consistent with this primary goal, not less than 70 percent of CDBG funds shall be used for activities that benefit persons of low and moderate income. The community objectives developed for achieving the primary goal of the CDBG program are: a) elimination and prevention of slums and blighting influences on the community; b) elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety and welfare; c) conservation and expansion of housing for all persons, but especially low and moderate income persons; d) expansion and improvement of community services, principally for low and moderate income persons; e) rational utilization of land and natural resources and an improved arrangement of land uses; f) promotion of neighborhood revitalization, diversity, and vitality while actively discouraging isolation of persons by income; g) promotion of restoration and preservation of significant properties; h) stimulation of private investment and community revitalization through an improved local economy; and, i) conservation and improvement of energy resources, and provision of alternative and renewable energy sources. In order to meet the portion of the primary goal of benefiting low and moderate income persons, each grant program must demonstrate that at least 70 percent of its CDBG funds are expended on projects benefiting low and moderate income persons. Area wide projects will be considered to benefit low and moderate income persons only if the following criteria are met: a) the project must be carried out in a neighborhood consisting predominantly of persons of low and moderate income; or b) the project must involve facilities designed for use predominantly by persons of low and moderate income; or c) the project must involve the employment of persons, majority of whom are persons of low and moderate income. For cities containing 50,000 or more persons, Community Development Block Grant funds are distributed through "automatic entitlement" based on a statistical formula of local need criteria. Simply, this means that the federal government has made an estimate of relative need for Community Development Block Grant funds and has assigned each eligible community "shares". While a community can reject the offer of federal assistance by failing to file an application to claim its entitlement, such monies have already been set aside for their use. Nationwide, approximately 1,100 local political jurisdictions are eligible for CDBG entitlement funds. The funds are allocated annually and may be spent in a variety of ways as determined by local priorities. Eligible activities for CDBG funding include any number or combination of the following: a) acquisition, in whole, or in part, by purchase, lease, donation, or otherwise, of real property for any public purpose. b) acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation, or installation of public facilities. c) interim assistance to alleviate harmful conditions where immediate public action is determined by the applicant to be necessary. d) clearance, demolition, and removal of buildings and improvements. e) special projects directed to the removal of material and architectural barriers which restrict the mobility and the accessibility of elderly and handicapped persons. f) payments to housing owners for losses of rental income incurred in holding housing units for temporary periods to be utilized for the relocation of individuals and families displaced by program activities. g) disposition, through sale, lease, donation, or otherwise, of any real property acquired. h) provisions of public services which are directed toward improving the community's public services and facilities. A public service must either be a new service or a quantifiable increase in the level of service that has been provided by or in the behalf of a unit of general local government. i) payment of the non-federal share required in connection with a federal grant-in-aid program undertaken as part of the community development program. j) payment of the cost of completing an urban Renewal project funded under Title 1 of the Housing Act of 1949. k) relocation payments and assistance for individuals, families, businesses, organizations and farm operations displaced by assisted activities. 1) rehabilitation activities, including: rehabilitation of public residential structures, public housing modernization, rehabilitation of private properties through acquisition and/or the provision of financing or materials, temporary relocation assistance, code enforcement, historic preservation and renovation of closed school buildings. • m) economic development activities, if determined that such activities are necessary to carry out an economic development project. Activities include: acquisition of real property for economic development; acquisition, construction or reconstruction of commercial and industrial facilities; provision of assistance to private, for-profit businesses. n) activities by private, non-profit neighborhood and local development entities necessary to implement strategies for economic development or neighborhood revitalization. o) activities necessary to develop a comprehensive community development plan, functional plans and other plans and studies, including improved management capacity. C 1f p) payment of reasonable administrative costs and carrying charges related to the planning and execution of community development and housing activities. q) payment of cost of completing an urban renewal project funded under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. r) acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabilitation or installation of distribution lines and facilities of privately owned utilities. s) construction of housing assisted under Section 17 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. Although it obviously represents a flexible program, the application for funds under the Housing and Community Development Act does have certain requirements. Among the requirements is the submission of a housing assistance plan, adherence to various procedural policies and compliance with various federal acts and programs, including compliance with required certifications.

The newly created Center City Development Corporation which is, and will be, working under the guidelines of the Center City Development Master Plan approved in concept by the City Council in 1991, has been working on a systematic revitalization of Elgin's Center City area. This organization and the Master Plan are dedicated to the expansion of economic development opportunities for Elgin' s Center City area. As this particular area currently represents retailing opportunities and service organizations servicing the low to moderate income residents of the City of Elgin. I believe that a request for Block Grant monies is consistent with the program. As shown in your general pro- gram summary, our day to day operations involve these objec- tives of the CDBG program: 1 . Elimination and prevention of slums and blighting influences on the community. 2 . Elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety and welfare. 3 . Expansion and improvement of community services principally for low to moderate income persons . 4 . Rational utilization of land and natural resources and an improved arrangement of land uses . 5 . Promotion of neighborhood revitalization, diversity and vitality, while actively discouraging isolation of persons by income. 6 . Promotion of restoration and preservation of signif- icant properties . (i) Printed on recycled paper March 3, 1992 Page 2 7 . Stimulation of private investment and community revitalization through an improved local economy. Of those eligible activities for CDBG funding, we include the following: 1 . Acquisition in whole or in part by purchase, lease, donation or otherwise of real property for public purpose. 2 . Acquisition, construction, reconstruction, rehabili- tation or installation of public facilities . 3. Interim assistance to alleviate harmful conditions where immediate public action is determined by the applicant to be necessary. 4 . The clearance, demolition and removal of buildings and improvements . 5. Special projects directed at the removal of materi- al and architectural barriers which restrict the mobility and accessibility of elderly and handi- capped persons . 6 . Disposition through sale, lease, donation or other- wise of any real property acquired. 7 . Rehabilitation activities including rehabilitation of private properties through acquisition and/or the provision of financing for materials, temporary relocation assistance, code enforcement, historic preservation and renovation. 8. Economic development activities that are determined to be such activities that are necessary to carry out an economic development project (the Center City Master Plan) . Activities include acquisition of real property for economic development; acquisi- tion, construction or reconstruction of commercial and industrial facilities for assistance to private for profit businesses . 9 . This is more important to our specific private corporation; not-for-profit corporation activities by, private non-profit neighborhood and local devel- opment entities (Center City Development Corpora- tion) necessary to implement strategies for econom- ic development for neighborhood revitalization. March 3, 1992 Page 3 10 . Payment of reasonable administrative costs and carrying charges related to the planning and execu- tion of community development. I certainly understand that among the many requirements is the adherence to various procedural policies, as well as compli- ance with the many federal acts and programs and procurment standards of the City. This would include compliance with any required certifications . We do have specific programs and projects that will be developed through 1992, and these monies could be designated specifically for one or several specific projects. Obviously, all of the documentation re- garding these projects would be identified through the follow- ing year. I am requesting an allocation for 1992 of $150,000 . I be- lieve that the programs and policies set forth by the Center City Development Corporation, which is made up of businesses in and around the Central Business District, and also include minority representation from the community, are eligible for the CDBG program. Attached is a breakdown of the allocation request for your consideration. I will be available at those hearings to present the Central City Development Corporation and the projects we are working on for 1992 . Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have. Our number is 931-5945 . Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, N. Michael Turner Center City Development Director NMT:mgc Attachment CENTER CITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) 1992 Proposal As part of an Economic Restructuring Program: 1 . Design and Development of matching marketing programs to encourage consumer confidence and purchases in the Center City retail establishments. These programs include radio, television, trade magazines and newspapers . Marketing material will be developed by the members of the Center City Development Corporation Events and Marketing Committee Members. These Center City businesses are provid- ing their expertise on the CCDC Committees, along with their professional services when required. Approximate cost of this project is $25,000 . 00 2 . Acquisition of property in and/or around the Fountain Square Plaza to be redeveloped by the Center City Development Corporation (CCDC) for the purpose of economic development in a severly depressed area, which currently does house many businesses serving minority and low to moderate income persons . The members of the CCDC Events and Marketing Committee, the Business Management Committee and the Business Recruitment Committee have determined that the acquisition of property for redevelopment would greatly enchance the Center City. When completed, it would improve the appearance and the image of an area that is considered, under the guidelines of the Community Development Block Grants, to be a blighted area. This type of project is part of the Center City Master Plan' s long term goals .

Rice, City Manager SUBJECT: 1992 Budget Review Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) PURPOSE This memorandum provides additional information regarding two CDBG funding proposals and an update on the balance of the proposed budget for 1992. BACKGROUND Several members of the City Council have requested additional background regarding the proposal from the Health Center for medications and the proposal from Centro for the completion of the youth center. Accordingly, the following is for your information: 1. Health Center. The Health Center has advised the Planning Department that it is currently an operating department of Saint Joseph's Hospital. However, the Health Center is in the process of becoming independent of the hospital with a target date of August 31, 1992 (see the attached .letter from the Health Center, dated April 1, 1992) . 2. Centro. The United Way of Elgin has advised the Planning Department that Centro has had some funding problems in recent years and that the United Way is evaluating Centro's current fiscal status. It should also be noted that community service facilities located on Fountain Square Plaza are not envisioned as being a consistent or complimentary land use within the long term objectives of the Center City Plan. Page Two Accordingly, it may be a reasonable approach to fund Centro's request, but to delay disbursement of the requested funds until January 1, 1993. The additional time will permit a more adequate evaluation of Centro's financial condition, as well as to evaluate any inconsistencies with the Center City Plan. CONCLUSION The most recent reconciliation of the CDBG budget for 1992 shows an unallocated balance of $5,000.00. It is recommended that the balance be allocated to Planning and Management. • Lar ice, y Manager -p Health Cen ter 6 North State Street Elgin. IL 60120 !708) 741-3336 • April 1, 1992 Mr. Jerry Deering • Elgin City Hall Planning Department 150 Doctor Court Elgin, IL 60120 Dear Mr. Deering: Thank you for your telephone call earlier today regarding the current status of the Health Center. Currently, the Health Center is operating as a department of Saint Joseph Hospital and is included in the hospital's not for profit status. Gifts for the Center are being received and recorded by Saint Joseph Hospital Foundation and are being held in the Center's restricted fund. These funds will either be transferred to the Health Center when it becomes independent, or be transferred to the Community Crisis Center if the Center becomes a part of their organization. A brief history and future outlook of the Health Center follows. The Saint Joseph Center began in 1986, when Dr. Charles Cavallo began providing free medical consultations in the basement of Saint Joseph Church. In the beginning, Saint Joseph Church was the main sponsor of the program. As the community's awareness of the program grew, a new site was needed to accommodate the increasing number of patients being seen. On February 28, 1989, the Center opened at its current location, 6 North State Street. It was at this point Saint Joseph Hospital became more involved,by paying the Center's rent,providing some prescription medications and performing various medical services (i.e. laboratory tests and x-rays) for the Center's clients. The Center's Board decided, at their September 4, 1991 meeting, it was time for the Center to take the next step in its growth phase and move from being supported solely by Saint Joseph Hospital, to being supported by both hospitals, the United Way, local service clubs and other funding sources. At this point the Center entered its current reorganization phase and the enclosed Action Plan was developed. • • In regards to this plan, the following has been accomplished: the name has been changed to the Health Center, more volunteers have been secured, some sample medications have been collected, both hospitals have agreed to support the Center, the United Way application has been submitted, Campaign for Human Development funding has liven requested and the Midwest Living grant has been submitted. At the November 6, 1991 Board meeting, Harry Seigle proposed the idea of approaching the Community Crisis Center regarding the possibility of the Health Center becoming a part of the Community Crisis Center. The Board and staff members of the Community Crisis Center were approached and many meetings and telephone conversations have transpired. Due to this possibility, we did not apply for not for profit status for the Health Center. If the Health Center does not become a part of the Community Crisis Center, then the original Action Plan will be reenacted and the Center will be set up as an independent not for profit organization. The Board's goal, is for the Health Center to be either a part of the Community Crisis Center or an independent organization by August 31, 1992. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to telephone me. Sincerely, getajo Beatrice Brown Manager Enclosure • • Health Center poard of Directors, • • Mr. Roy Adamski Mr:.
