One-Year Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2018-19. Planner/CDBG Administrator Carrie J. Haberstich made a presentation with an overview and background of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. The term of the five-year Consolidated Plan is from May 1, 2015, through April 30, 2020. The primary elements of the Consolidated Plan include the public participation process, needs assessment, housing market analysis, and strategic plan – addressing community issues particularly as they relate to low/moderate-income Skokie residents. The Consolidated Plan is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of all communities receiving CDBG entitlement funds. This year’s Action Plan will be the 4th of five plans for the current Consolidated Plan term. The Action Plan will serve as the annual funding application to HUD for CDBG funding. It will include the Application for Federal Assistance Form (Standard Form 424), executive summary, the Village’s strategies to address community development needs, project and activity descriptions, and certifications regarding Skokie's eligibility to apply for federal funding. In addition, the Action Plan will address the Village's continued efforts to prevent homelessness, aid persons with special needs, enhance the supply of affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, enhance social services, and promote citizen participation in the CDBG process. Furthermore, the plan anticipates planned coordination between various Village departments and social service providers in the Skokie area. We have not been informed of the Village’s entitlement amount, so we continue to estimate $500,000 in entitlement funds with the flexibility options presented at the February public hearing and in the Executive Summary and Section AP-15 of the draft Action Plan. The estimated budgeted grand total remains at $527,168. Motion to approve the One-Year Action Plan for Community Development Block Grant Program Year 2018-2019.
