Background
The Development Customer Services Department administers the Multi-family Housing Incentives Program, which was established by Ordinance in 1984. The program is open to multi-family buildings with four or more units. The program has two major purposes: (1) to upgrade the physical conditions of multi-family buildings; and (2) to expand the housing choices of renters to encourage diversity. The program has three different types of assistance: (1) Grants of up to $10,000 for building or unit improvements; (2) Rental Reimbursement payments for vacant units certified by the Housing and CDBG Programs Division and the Oak Park Regional Housing Center as market ready within a participating building; and (3) Marketing Services whereby the Oak Park Regional Housing Center affirmatively markets their units.
In February, the Village issued a Request for Applications to all owners of multi-family buildings to apply for the grants and/or Marketing Services Agreements (MSA). On June 21, 2017, the Housing Programs Advisory Committee (HPAC) reviewed the submitted applications.
Attachments to each resolution include a staff sign-off sheet and agreement with appendices.
Alternatives
The Board may choose to review the resolutions again at a second reading or not approve the resolutions.
