Fiscal Impact
HUD posted the PY 2017 allocations committed to Oak Park in June of 2017. Oak Park is entitled to $1,522,537 for CDBG and $136,947 for ESG in PY 2017, which begins October 1, 2017. Under federal regulations, the Village is able to set aside up to 15% of the total CDBG allocation ($228,380) for CDBG Public Services funds and up to 20% for Administration and Planning ($304,507), with no cap for Public Facilities Improvements. These commitments will not impact funds already committed to public infrastructure improvements, housing programs, and other CDBG-funded projects in the Village.
Background
