• Lake County is the recipient of HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) entitlement funding.

• As a condition of entitlement funds HUD requires the development and submission of a Consolidated Plan detailing five-year goals and strategies needed to address identified community needs.

• This resolution includes approval of an emergency appropriation of $253,436 of CDBG, NSP and HOME Program income, which was received through these programs and must be reinvested in subsequent programming.

Joint resolution approving the Lake County Affordable Housing Program (LCAHP) Program Year 2025 funding recommendations for $625,288 and an emergency appropriation of $5,538.

• In December 2024, Community Development staff received applications for eligible affordable housing programs and projects.

• Program Year 2025 (PY25) Lake County Affordable Housing Program Funds total $625,288 and the funding consists of $540,000 Fiscal Year 2025 (FY25) budget, $79,750 from a repurposed PY24, and program revenue of $5,000 from Prairie View Apartments and $538 from Community Partners for Affordable Housing.

8.4 25-0864

Joint resolution approving an emergency appropriation of $490,666 for fiscal year 2025 accepting additional funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Continuum of Care Housing Program grant.

• The Health Department received $490,666 in additional grant funding for the period of May 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026, which was not previously appropriated because the grant resources were approved after the County’s adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.

• This funding supports rental assistance for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, helping them to secure and maintain stable housing, while also covering eligible administrative costs necessary for the management and oversight of the program.

• This will fund client rent and utilities.

• If funding for the services ends, and new funding is not secured, the services will be eliminated.
