The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information regarding the amendment to the 2003 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Annual Action Plan. BACKGROUND PADS was originally awarded $50, 000 in 2003 CDBG funding to purchase land, located along State Street in Elgin. PADS is acquiring the land to construct a new shelter to better serve the needs of the homeless . Since the City Council' s approval of CDBG funding for this program, PADS received State funding for the land acquisition through the Illinois First Grant fund. An amendment to the 2003 Annual Action Plan would allow the $50, 000 to be redirected from the land acquisition component of this project and instead be used for construction activities • associated with the shelter. Therefore, staff is recommending the scope of the project be amended to permit PADS to utilize the $50, 000 in CDBG funding for such activities . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED rm.
