Introduction CDBG-CV3: On September 11, 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced additional CARES Act Tranche 3 funding distributions to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement communities to continue their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. This Consolidated Plan specifically discusses Skokie’s planned response to COVID-19, including adding CDBG- CV3 activities to the PY20-24 Consolidated Plan that commenced on May 1, 2020. [Note: This amendment may impact the PY15-19 Consolidated Plan that commenced on May 1, 2015, as HUD has not yet finalized guidance on the Tranche 3 funding.] This October 2020 substantial amendment is intended to be additive to the existing plan approved by HUD. 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan CDBG-CV3: Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, this substantial amendment will focus on supporting Skokie’s low/moderate-income residents through September 30, 2022, or as allowed per HUD as the COVID-19 response progresses. The primary focus of these funds will be to support Skokie residents’ housing costs, small business working capital, and other public services. All CDBG-CV3 funding may be allocated to support public services activities, as the 15% cap has been waived. All funds must be allocated to support COVID-19-related activities. Great care must be taken by staff and community members to avoid a duplication of benefits (generally defined as using funding from different programs to pay for the same service, activity, or project). 3. Evaluation of past performance CDBG-CV3: Skokie and its service providers have been tracking COVID-19 expenses, as costs can be reimbursed after they have been incurred, another unique feature of the CDBG-CV3 funds. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process CDBG-CV3: The Village conducts an extensive consultation process in preparation for its 5-year Consolidated and 1-year Action Plans; therefore, a majority of the consultation process was completed prior to this substantial amendment. Additional consultation for the CDBG-CV planning process included communicating with current CDBG grantees, potential new grantees with CDBG experience, community members, and Village staff. Public comments were requested at the October 5, 2020, Village Board of Trustees meeting, and the Village Board of Trustees approved the substantial amendment. Consolidated Plan SKOKIE 5 OMB Control No: 2506‐0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) VOSDOCS‐#571173‐v1‐CDBG‐CV3_PY20‐24_Consolidated_Plan_‐ _Substantial_Amendment  Consolidated Plan – Draft for public review – September 25, 2020 The Consolidated Plan substantial amendment public hearing notice was published in the Skokie Review on September 24, 2020. A draft substantial amendment was made available for public review and comment from September 25, 2020, to October 5, 2020, at https://www.skokie.org/1037/CDBG-CV, exceeding the minimum 5-day period allowed by HUD for CDBG-CV3 funds. 5. Summary of public comments CDBG-CV3: No public comments were received during the official draft Consolidated and Action Plans substantial amendment comment period. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them CDBG-CV3: In light of the urgent need for a response to COVID-19, a portion of Skokie’s CDBG-CV3 funds may be used to support economic development activities such as small business assistance, as long as there is no duplication of benefits. 7. Summary CDBG-CV3: The $443,475 in CDBG-CV3 funds were based on a formula basis to entitlement communities such as the Village of Skokie to support a COVID-19 response to principally benefit low/moderate-income persons and address an urgent need.
