Overview
Overview
This is a request by the Oak Park Regional Housing Center (OPRHC) to not enforce the 2021 Funding Grant Agreement and release funds under that Agreement that are being withheld. The Agreement was approved by the Village Board on March 1, 2021. The OPRHC was in default for non-compliance with the terms of its 2020 Funding Grant Agreement at that time which resulted in the Village withholding $300,000 in funds from the OPRHC. The OPRHC requested that the Village provide the organization with $75,000 of the 2020 funds immediately and that the remainder would be provided if the OPRHC provided their 2019 audit and 2020 financial statements no later than April 15, 2021, and these terms were included in the 2021 Funding Grant Agreement. The OPRHC did not provide the required documents by the deadline and is now requesting that the Board waive the required submission dates for the 2019 audit and extend the due date for the 2020 audit to November 30, 2021.
