The Community Crisis Center is requesting$41,500 to repair damage to our Children's Program located in the lower level of our facility,which is a historically listed building built in 1891. The damage was cased by sewage backup from a June 2009 storm. Repair will include demo of all flooring in the south half of the lower level, drywall and electrical,paint and ceiling tile replacement. Since 1987 the Crisis Center has resided in this grand building that is located in Elgin's first historic district just east of downtown. In the application for National Register of Historic Places the Franklin School was listed as a building of significance, "the-massive construction and detailing of this school reflects Romanesque Revival influence with Palladian windows". The project benefits our clients,most of who are at the low and moderate-income level,by maintaining the facility that provides a multitude of services for them. Open 24-hours a day,services include a shelter for 40 women and children who are homeless or fleeing an abusive partner; 24-hour crisis hotline; individual and group counseling; legal, welfare and medical advocacy; financial assistance; partner abuse intervention; information & referral for other services; independent living program; and community education. Conceived and organized by a group of concerned Elgin citizens in 1975 the Community Crisis Center has evolved into a comprehensive non-profit,social service agency that strives to meet the needs of individuals and families dealing with the trauma of domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness and other life crises. In FY '08 our 64 employees provided 44,824 hours of service to 6,275 women,men and children; 308 women and 295 children spent 11,325 nights in our shelter.

Stegall, City Manager �j,,j_ Denise Momodu,Associate PI er SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) Sub-Recipient Agreement for the Community Crisis Center PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information regarding the Sub-Recipient Agreement with the Community Crisis Center. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the Sub-Recipient Agreement with the Community Crisis Center for the Basement Renovation Project in the amount of$41,500. BACKGROUND The Community Crisis Center is a not-for-profit organization providing temporary shelter for women who are victims of domestic violence or who are homeless. The facility has the capacity of sheltering 40 women and children. The average stay for most women is approximately 14 days with some women staying up to the maximum time of six weeks. The Community Crisis Center's principal place of business is 37 South Geneva Street in Elgin. The basement renovation project was initially identified by Community Crisis Center during their application for CDBG-R funding. They requested funding in the amount of $41,500 to facilitate the rehabilitation of their program space that was damaged from flooding. Since the basement rehabilitation project lacked energy efficiency elements, staff recommended that the basement project be funded under the regular CDBG program. Staff is re-allocating the funds from left-over, unspent funds from previous years' programs. HUD is aware of this re-allocation and instructed the City to report the re-allocation in the next program year's Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report(CAPER).
