Approve and release the Draft PY 2022 CAPER for a comment period and authorize the Village Manager to transmit the final document to HUD after the close of this period.
Background
The Village of Oak Park, as an Entitlement Community, receives an annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and uses the funds for locally determined projects. In Program Year 2022, HUD awarded $1,539,187.00. The Village is limited to allocating 15% of the total CDBG allocation to Public Services and 20% to Administration. The Community Development Citizen Advisory Commission (CDCAC) reviews the applications and makes recommendations annually to the Village Board for their approval.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact on the Village.
DEI Impact
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each activity funded, except for administration, meet one of three national objectives. The three national objectives are: 1) Benefit to low and moderate income (LMI) persons; 2) Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and 3) Meet a need having a particular urgency. An activity that does not meet a national objective is not compliant with CDBG requirements.
The Oak Park CDBG program focuses on the first national objective which benefits low-and moderate-income persons. This objective includes the following eligible activities: Area benefit activities (LMA), Limited Clientele Activities (LMC), Housing Activities (LMH), and Job Creation and Retention Activities (LMJ).
