PROJECT SCOPE AND PURPOSE:
The Well Child Center began in 1969 in the basement of a local church, where a group
of caring Elgin citizens proposed creation of a means to provide uninsured children with
immunizations and preventive medical care.
In 2000 the center purchased a 6,600 square-foot center building located at 620 Wing
Street in Elgin. The building was once a factory and with funding from foundations and
private donations, was converted into the current Social Service Center.
Since then, the Well Child Center has grown to establish a home to service agencies
providing care to at-risk children in the Fox Valley area. The Well Child Center has two
programs, both dedicated to the neediest children in the Fox Valley area. The first
program is the Pediatric Dental Clinic, which serves children who would otherwise not
be seen by a dentist due to their family's fiscal constraints. The second service is the
WIC program. This service provides nutritional information and supplemental food to
pregnant and postpartum women and to the parents of young children to ensure that
their children stay healthy and that the family understands the need for good nutrition.
Most of the families seen at Well Child come from minority families. Many of these
parents work in the service industry, are low-income, and have temporary jobs that do
not offer health insurance making access to care very difficult. Providing low cost
services is essential to these families' abilities to acquire healthcare.
The Center's statistics also demonstrate that the majority of families utilizing services
reside in Elgin, or within a 10-mile radius of Elgin. Approximately 75% are on Medicaid
and at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. Many come from Latino families
(83%) and over 70% have never been to a dentist before.
o - - •' - • -, ' - .', - -C-ihiid-Center-s building-include; adult-and-ehi-Idren's
medical services, mental health services, family case management services, computer
training services for adults, and an energy/utilities assistance program. All programs
require proof of income, as the services are designed for limited income families. The
combined number of individuals served in the Well Child Center facility in a one-year
period is approximately 18,000. The majority of the families served in this building are
not only experiencing low-income levels but also have inadequate or no insurance
coverage.
The building is now in need of capital improvements both exterior and interior. These
improvements include:
o Parking lot replacement/outdoor lighting
o Landscaping improvements
o Back dock renovation
The CDBG funds will be allocated to these areas of need and allow us to provide a safe
and blight free environment for families using our services.
Details
Parking lot replacement:
Currently the parking lot cement is broken and filled with potholes. There are few lights
making it unsafe for evening appointments. There is no retaining wall on the west side
of the parking lot which allows easy access as a dumping ground that is currently
holding old household machines, bags of garbage and other refuse. The area is
blighted and needs updating.
The existing parking lot will be completely broken up and debris removed from the site.
A new parking lot will be formed with blacktop, curbs, and appropriate painting for
parking spaces. There will be signage indicating a one way traffic pattern entering and
exiting Wing Street. There will be both an entrance and exit apron to Wing Street
included in the City of Elgin's plan for expansion of the intersection of Wing Street and
Rt. 31. Parking/driveway on the east side of the building will butt up against the building
and all erosion/sink holes will be repaired.
Parking spaces will be painted on an angle to discourage wrong way exiting to Wing
Street. A walkway from the building to the parking lot will be well marked with an easily
viewed yield sign.
Landscaping improvements:
Most existing bushes will be removed in the front and west side of the building. In
addition, most existing plantings will need removal from the back west side of the
property due to the need to create a retaining wall to support the parking lot and protect
neighboring houses. The back lot corner will be landscaped with bushes and will
include a patio area for employees.
The east side of the lot borders train tracks. This area will need erosion control
measures and small plantings to discourage weed growth and promote Illinois prairie
native plants and grasses.
Back door/dock renovations:
The north side of the building will be repaired to allow for easy access to the back
entrance. The current dock and stairs will be reconfigured and a new fence installed.
The shed will be relocated to the base of the dock. All walkways will be resurfaced and
reconfigured to allow for easy access to the building's main and back entrances, as well
as all parking spaces.
The west side of the building will also have a large patio type entry with a weather cover
(such as an awning/pergola or architectural feature) for all the main entrance traffic.
Upgraded walkways from the back to front parking lot will be widened making it safer for
users to access the entrances. In addition, the completed project will make both
entrances more accessible for handicapped users.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Goal 1: Provide organized parking and clear and well defined entry and exits to Wing
Street.
Goal 2: Blight will be removed and landscaping will be improved.
Goal 3: Dock will be safer and made more user friendly
Measurement of all Goals will be done by verbal surveys and before and after visual
reports.
NATIONAL OBJECTIVE
The Well Child Center project meets the stated national objectives:
1. Benefit low and moderate-income persons or households as defined by
Section Eight Household Income Guidelines.
All of the families served by Well Child Center fall into the low income category.
Our agency alone serves approximately 7, 000 clients each year. The additional
agencies in the building are all not-for-profit organizations that serve primarily low
income families. The tenants are: Community Contacts, Inc., Two Rivers Head Start
Agency, Kane County Health Department, Visiting Nurse Association of Fox Valley, and
Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center. Additionally, the majority of the families served in
this building have inadequate or no insurance.
2. Prevent or eliminate slums or blight.
Currently, the parking lot cement is broken and filled with potholes. There are few lights
which make it unsafe for evening users and invites people to use the lot for
questionable activities. There is no retaining wall in the back of the parking lot which
allows for easy access as a dumping ground that is currently holding old household
machines, bags of garbage and other refuse. The area is blighted and needs updating.
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITY DESIGNATION
The Well Child Center meets the first eligible activity designation, as a nonprofit owned
nonresidential building.
1. Rehabilitation and Preservation Activities.
a, Residential, commercial and industrial building rehabilitation. Assistance for
publicly or privately owned residential properties, low-income public housing,
commercial or industrial building (if privately owned, funding is limited to the
exterior and the correction of municipal code violations), nonprofit-owned
nonresidential buildings and manufactured housing.
LOW AND MODERATE INCOME BENEFIT STATEMENT
The majority of the families served in the Well Child Center's building are at or below
the Federal poverty level. Most are from families that have little or no insurance and are
working at low paying or temporary jobs offering little security.
Well Child Center's service area is designated as a Medically Underserved Area
(MUA). A Medically Underserved Area is defined as one with more than 49% of the
families in the area being uninsured or uninsurable. Our local school district (U46)
reported that 68.6% of the children residing in Elgin and South Elgin receive
free/reduced cost lunches. This statistic confirms that the agency's service area meets
the MUA criteria.
There will be about 18,000 families that will benefit from these improvements. All of
these families have low and moderate incomes.
DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTING
The Well Child Center will abide by the federal regulations to provide monthly or
quarterly reports on the clientele benefiting from the project. We will use the following
methods to collect and maintain the information on:
Number of persons/households
Number of low and moderate-income persons/households
Household size and household income
Race/ethnicity of clientele
Number of female-headed households
All of the agencies housed in this building serve low-income clients. They collect the
above information for their client records. Reports will be generated from two sources:
1. Client records from Well Child Center's programs
2. Monthly reports from other service agencies housed in the building

PROJECT SCOPE AND PURPOSE:
The Well Child Center began in 1969 in the basement of a local church, where a group
of caring Elgin citizens proposed creation of a means to provide uninsured children with
immunizations and preventive medical care.
•
In 2000 the center purchased a 6,600 square-foot center building located at 620 Wing
Street in Elgin. The building was once a factory and with funding from foundations and
private donations, was converted into the current Social Service Center.
Since then, the Well Child Center has grown to establish a home to service agencies
providing care to at-risk children in the Fox Valley area. The Well Child Center has two
programs, both dedicated to the neediest children in the Fox Valley area. The first
program is the Pediatric Dental Clinic, which serves.children who would otherwise not
be seen by a dentist due to their family's fiscal constraints. The second service is the
WiC program. This service provides nutritional information and supplemental food to
pregnant and postpartum women and to the parents of young children to ensure that
their children-stay healthy and that the family understands the need for good nutrition.
Most of the families seen at.Well Child come from minority families. Many of these
parents work in the service industry, are low-income, and have temporary jobs that do
not offer health insurance making access to care very difficult. Providing low cost
•
services is essential to these families' abilities to acquire healthcare.
The Center's statistics also demonstrate that the majority of families utilizing services
reside in Elgin, or within a 10-mile radius of Elgin. Approximately 75% are on Medicaid
and at or below 185% of the federal poverty level. Many come from Latino families
(83%) and over 70% have never been to a dentist before..
• - - •' - •I • • - - - • _ - - e.• ;' • .: ", :: . - - -`-
medieat services, mental health services, family case management services, computer
training services for adults, and an energy/utilities assistance program. All programs
require proof of income, as the services are designed for limited income families. The
combined number of individuals served in the Well Child Center facility In a one-year
period is approximately 18,000. The majority of the families served in this building are
not only experiencing low-income levels but also have inadequate or no insurance
•
coverage.
•
r
•
•
The building is now in need of capital improvements both exterior and interior. These
irriprovernents include:
o Parking lot replacement/outdoor lighting
o Landscaping improvements
o Back dock renovation
The CDBG funds will be allocated to these areas of need and allow us to provide a safe
and blight free environment for families using our services.
•
Details . • .
Parking lot replacement:
Currently the parking lot cement is broken and filled with potholes. There are few lights
making it unsafe for evening appointments. There is no retaining wall on the west side
of the parking lot,which allows easy access as a dumping ground that is currently
holding old household machines, bags of garbage and other refuse. The area is
blighted and needs'updating.
The existing parking lot will,be completely broken up and debris removed from the site.
A new parking lot will be formed with blacktop, curbs, and appropriate painting for
parking spaces. There will be signage indicating a one way traffic pattern entering and
exiting Wing Street. There will be both an entrance and exit apron to Wing Street
included in the City of Elgin's plan for expansion of the intersection of Wing Street and
Rt. 31. Parking/driveway on the east side of the building will butt up,against the building
and-all erosion/sink holes will be repaired.
Parking spaces will be painted on an angle to discourage wrong way exiting to Wing
Street. A walkway from the building to the parking lot will be well marked with an easily
viewed yield sign.
•

Landscaping improvements:
Most existing bushes will be removed in the front and west side of the building. In
addition, most existing plantings will need removal from the back west side of the
property due to the need to create a retaining wall to support the parking lot and protect
neighboring houses. The back lot corner will be landscaped with bushes and will
include a patio area for employees.
The east side of the lot borders train tracks.. This area will need erosion control
measures and small plantings to discourage weed growth and promote Illinois prairie
native plants and grasses. •
Back door/dock renovations:
The north side of the building will be repaired to allow for easy access to the back
entrance: The current dock and stairs will be reconfigured and a new fence installed.
The shed will be relocated to the base of the dock.. All walkways will be resurfaced and
reconfigured to allow for easy access to the building's main and back entrances, as well
as all parking spaces.
The west side of the building will also have a large patio type entry with a weather cover
rok (such as ari awning/pergola or architectural feature)for all the main entrance traffic.
Upgraded walkways from the back to front parking lot will be widened making it safer for
users to access the entrances. In addition,the completed project will make both
entrances more accessible for handicapped users.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Goal 1:Provide organized parking and clear and well defined entry and exits to Wing
Street.
Goal 2: Blight will be removed and landscaping will be improved.
Goal 3: Dock will be safer and made more user friendly
Measurement of all Goals will be done by verbal surveys and before and after visual
reports.

the Federal poverty level. Most are from families that have little or no insurance and are
working at low paying or temporary jobs offering little security.
Well Child Center's service area is designated as a Medically Underserved Area
(MUA). A Medically Underserved Area is defined as one with more than 49%of the
families in the area being uninsured or uninsurable. Our local school district(U46)
reported that 68.6% of the children residing in Elgin and South Elgin receive
free/reduced cost lunches. This statistic confirms that the agency's service area meets
the MUA criteria.
There will be about 18,000 families that will benefit from these improvements. All of
these families have low and moderate incomes.
