18 17-0635

Joint resolution approving the first amendment to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

• An amendment to the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This current five-year plan represents the first time that Lake County and its Consortium Members - North Chicago and Waukegan - report accomplishments using HUD’s electronic format, and several issues with the electronic reporting format are resolved in this amendment.

• In April of 2016, HUD provided guidance on the pairing of grant-funded activities (e.g. owner-occupied housing rehabilitation) with HUD’s Goal Outcome Indicators (e.g. number of units of homeowner housing rehabilitated). The revised five-year plan incorporates the suggested pairings and recalibrates the five-year targets.

• At the start of planning for each new program year, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) assesses how funding trends support or detract from achieving the Plan’s five-year goals. This first amendment to the 2015-2019 Plan shifts prospective funding away from infrastructure goals that have already been exceeded to housing goals that, but for additional funding, would not be projected to meet the five-year targets as required by HUD.

19 17-0636

Joint resolution approving Fourth Amendment to the 2015 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Action Plan.

• HUD requires the submission of an Annual Action Plan and associated amendments to govern expenditure of federal housing and community development funding for each year of grant funding.

• The Lake County HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) Consortium is comprised of Lake County and the Cities of Waukegan and North Chicago; all three jurisdictions receive Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding.

• The proposed Action Plan amendment shifts $100,000 of HOME funding from a planned rehabilitation of a to-be-determined scattered site rental unit for which an address was not identified on a timely basis to the owner-occupied rehabilitation program. In housing assistance programs, HOME funds can be committed immediately, meeting the June 30, 2017 HOME commitment deadline. Given substantial unmet demand for owner-occupied rehabilitation, this $100,000 in HOME funds will be spent before the HOME spending deadline in 2019.

2015 4th Amendment HCDC Version.pdf Attachments:

20 17-0637

Joint resolution authorizing renewal of the HOME Investment Partnership Program Consortium Agreement with the cities of North Chicago and Waukegan.

• Pursuant to Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requirements, Lake County must renew its HOME Investment Partnership Program Consortium Agreement with the cities of North Chicago and Waukegan every three years in order for all three jurisdictions to continue operating as a consortium, thereby increasing the level of available HOME funding.

• The current agreement (attached) runs through the end of program year (PY) 2017 and the draft agreement will cover PY 2018 through PY 2020.

• The draft agreement is currently under review by the States Attorney’s Office and the Cities of Waukegan and North Chicago. It is anticipated that the agreement will be finalized in time for the June 13, 2017 Lake County Board meeting.

• A vote is requested from the Housing and Community Development Commission to recommend approval by the Lake County Board.

Joint resolution authorizing additional 2017 grant awards from the Lake County Affordable Housing Program (AHP).

• The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) was charged with developing 2017 funding recommendations for the Lake County Affordable Housing Program (AHP). In the 2017 application round for affordable housing, there were more than $4.5 million in requests for the available $1.9 million in housing grants available.

• Initial recommendations by the HCDC for investment of Lake County AHP funds were approved by the Lake County Board on March 14, 2017.

• With demand for housing funds far outpacing supply, several 2017 housing projects were recommended for funding, but there were not sufficient funds available. One such project was the potential 78-unit “Towering Oaks” affordable housing development by True Homes in Island Lake. This project scored 73% of available points in the 2017 housing application round, but the HCDC lacked funds with which to assist the project. Staff was instructed by the Affordable Housing Advisory and Recommendation Committee (ARC) to find means of supporting the development.

• Staff has identified $49,789.62 in previously unspent AHP funds available plus $9,818.38 in AHP program income for a total of $57,808 of housing funds available.

While this amount pales in comparison to the gap funding still needed by recommended 2017 projects, staff has learned that commitment now of $36,000 in AHP funds for future rental assistance will help True Homes obtain a better score on its application for Low-Income Housing Tax Credits due in June. If True Homes receives an allocation of housing tax credits, it can be considered again for development funding.

• Staff recommends additional AHP 2017 grants of $36,000 for True Homes (for future rental assistance) and the remaining $21,808 for Catholic Charities Rapid Rehousing Program. This amount for Rapid Rehousing would be in addition to an original $75,000 AHP allocation to assist the Program in meeting federal match requirements and in helping more families exit homelessness to housing.
