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.

Mayor George Van de Voorde, and

City of Elgin

Elgin, IL 60120
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In response to your notification of the 1992 Community Devel-
opment Block Grant program. 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)

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

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.

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 .
Approximate cost of this project is $125,000. 00

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Larry L. 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.

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
