The Lake
County Consortium proposes amendments to its Annual Action Plans for 2015, 2016,
and 2017 Program Years. The Annual Action Plans (AAP) guide the allocation and
expenditure of Federal funds available through the County's Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the Home Investment Partnerships
Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG).
The
following amendments were previously subject to public hearing but not yet
approved by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) due to
technical error: AAP 2015 Amendment #3; AAP 2015 Amendment #4; AAP 2016
Amendment #1 and AAP 2016 Amendment #2.
In addition to resubmitting previous amendments to HUD for approval, these
amendments include: Shifting of $148,000 in CDBG funding for Lake County Haven
from PY2016 to PY2017 with approved replacement projects in PY2016: Demolition
for New Housing in North Chicago ($32,940) and Lake County Residential
Development Corporation (LCRDC) Housing Site Preparation ($115,050). The PY2017 Amendment shifts CDBG funding for
Zion Woods site preparation from 2017-2018 to 2018-2019; with 2017 replacement
projects to include the Housing Accessibility Program ($100,000) of the
Affordable Housing Corporation (AHC), A Safe Place Accessibility Project
($69,900), Rehabilitation of a Glenkirk home ($11,283), and Lake County
Residential Development Corporation (LCRDC) Housing Site Preparation ($270,817). Several of these 2017 grants were combined
with other years of grant funding.
