Overview
Overview
The Village of Oak Park (the "Village") is amending its Program Year (PY) 2022 Action Plan, following HUD's substantial amendment requirements and the Village's Citizen Participation Plan to increase funding to PY 2022 projects. The Village's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation for PY 2022 will now be a total of $2,850,773.70.

Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution.

Background
As an Entitlement Community, the Village of Oak Park receives an annual CDBG grant allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and uses the funds for a variety of locally-determined projects. Mostly due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, there has been a delay in expending the PY 2018-2021 allocated funds. When HUD allocates funds in a federal fiscal year, the participating entitlement community is expected to fully expend the allocation each fiscal year.

To prevent funds from expiring and being returned to HUD the Village of Oak Park will amend the PY 2022 Annual Action Plan and move the unexpended funds from PY 2018-2021 to PY2022. The amendment would include the following reallocation of funds: PY2018 $3,373.50, PY2019 $128,503.89, PY2020 $350,586.90, and PY2021 $89,666.50 for a total of $572,130.79. The original PY22 allocation from HUD was $1,553,643.00, staff allocated $725,000 from PY2020 unused funds to total $2,278,643 for PY22. The recommended reallocated funds from 2018-2021 combined with the original PY22 allocation of $2,278,643 will total $2,850,773.70 for PY2022.

The PY2022 budget originally allocated $225,000 to support the purchase and construction of a community restroom to be placed in the downtown Oak Park public park...
