SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF TUESDAY, JANUARY 16,2024

* A. Fire Station Emeraencv Alertinq System - Chicago Communications, LLC,
 Elmhurst, Illinois - $309,836.64.
 The Village's Fire Department Alerting System has been in place since 2006. The
 current system is becoming less reliable leading to system failures and increased
 maintenance. The alerting system is the direct link between the dispatch center
 and the three fire stations. When a 911 call is received, the dispatcher utilizes the
 alerting system to notify the firefighter/paramedics of the nature and location of
 the incident through a system of speakers, lights and digital sign boards
 throughout each fire station. It is staff's recommendation that a contract in the
 amount of $309,836.64 be awarded to Chicago Communications, LLC for the
 purchase and installations of a US Digital Designs Phoenix G2 Fire Station
 Altering System. Pricing for this purchase was obtained through the Houston
 Galveston Area Council (HGAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program. I concur with
 staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.

* B. Hanqinq Flower Baskets & Containers Installation and Maintenance -
 Christy Webber Landscapes, Inc., Chicaqo, Illinois - $67,333.50.
 Three bids were received for a contract to install and maintain, including watering
 a minimum of four times per week, 290 hanging baskets and 73 containers in
 Downtown Skokie from approximately May 15 through October. The flowers
 beautify and enhance the downtown business district showing economic vitality
 and attracting activity. It is recommended that a contract for decorative hanging
 baskets and container plantings and their maintenance be awarded to Christy
 Webber Landscaping, in the amount of $67,333.50. The majority is funded
 through Tax Increment Funding and the remainder is funded through the
 Economic Development Fund. The Village has successfully worked with Christy
 Webber Landscapes in the past. I concur with staff's recommendation and
 respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.

* C. Proprietary Replacement Purchase of Stryker Power-LOAD - Stryker
 Medical, Chicago, Illinois - $28,244.40.
 The Fiscal Year 2024 Fire Department Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
 budget provides funding for the replacement of one of the Village's Stryker Power-

 Load Cot units currently in use by our paramedics to load a stretcher into the
 ambulance. The system is a proprietary device designed to be used in conjunction
 with the stretcher (cots) currently in service throughout the ambulance fleet. The
 battery/hydrauiic powered system raises and lowers the patient cot and
 mechanicaliy lifts and secures the cot in the ambulance thereby assisting
 firefighters in safely transporting patients. The cost has been significantly
 discounted by purchasing direct through Stryker rather than a third-party vendor. It
 is staff's recommendation that a contract for the purchase of the Stryker Power-
 Load cot system be awarded to Stryker Medical in the amount of $28,244.40. I
 concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board
 approval.

Rcpkiccmcnl and upgrade of the Fire Station Emergency Alerting System has been
authori/ed in (lie Village of Skoklc FY24 Budget with funding from the Wireless Alarm
Fund. Pricing for the Fire StFition Emergency Alerting System was obtained through the
Houston Galvcslon Area Council (HGAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Budeet Amount & Account 018-0639-404.04-30 $350,000

Tabulation:
Chicago Communications, LLC - Elmhurst, IL $309,836.64

BEick^round:
The alerting system is the direct link between the dispatch center and the 3 fire stations.
When d 911 call is received the dispatcher utilizes the alerting system to nolify the
firefighter/paramedics of Ihe nature and location of tlic incidcnl Ihrough a system of
speakers, liglits and digital sign boards throughout each fire station.

The current I?ire DepEU'tmenl Alerting system has been in place since 2006. The system is
needing incrcn.scd maintenance, hecnming less reliable leading to system fnllures, and
frequently requires muUiple tectmicians and vendors to make the necessary repairs.




Document Number: 615434
 Return to Agenda




Technology has made vast improvements since the current system was installed. The
proposed system is able to offer "pre-alerting" allowing dispatchers to alert personnel of
an incident in the infancy of the call while tlie dispatcher js still gathering information
resulting in reduced turnout times and ultimately reduced response times. This system
will also integrate automated voice dispatching allowing the dispatchers to focus on other
high-level tasks while crews are dispatched by an automated voice. Technology advances
also include redundant backups should power or communication problems arise. There
are many other advantages to the new system, all leading to increased efficiency,
reliability, and reduced stress for dispatchers and fire personnel.

Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract in the amount of $309,836.64 be awarded to Chicago
Communications, LLC ofElmhurst Illinois for the purchase and installation of a US
Digital Designs Phoenix 02 Fire Station Alerting System for the 3 Fire Stations and the
Communications Center.

Comments:
Chicago Communications is a certified US Digital Designs Phoenix 02 installation and
maintenance vendor. The Village has a longstanding relationship with Cliicago
Communications for all emergency communications equipment maintenance and repair,
They have a proven track record of being reliable and are able to provide 24/7/365
support. All other fire alerting systems that were vetted arc installed by low voltage
installation companies who may or may not be familiar with the system and are unable to
provide the 24/7/365 support that is required to maintain the reliable emergency
operations of the Fire Department and Communications Center.

 Proprietary Replacement Purchase of Strykcr Power-Load System

Budeet Amount & Account 020-6000-407.07-40-OS33040 $26,500.00

Tabulation:
Strykcr Medical Chicago, Illinois $28,244.40

Backeround:
The cufrent FY24 Fire Department C.I.P. budget provides funding for Ihe replacemenl ofone of
our Stryker Powei-Load Col fastener units cun-enfly in use by our paramedics. The new Power"
Load system will be installed in Ambulance 18 (Village Fleet # A 18/114) as the patient
comparlment is refurbished and installed on a new vehicle chassis. The overall plan includes the
purchase and installation of a new Stryker Power-Load cot fastener system to replace the original
equipment that is 12-years old and requiring increased maintenance.


The Sfryker Powcr-Load system is a proprietary device designed to be used in conjunction with
the ambulance stretcher (cots) cun'cntly in service tlu-oughout the ambulance fleet. This
battery/hyd tan lie powered system raises and lowers the patient cot and mechanically lifts and
secures the cot in the ambulance. The Village converted to the Strykcr Powcr-Load system for all
of its ambulances beginning in 2012 as a safety measure to reduce back injm'ies.


Funding for the Stryker Powcr-Load system was included in the FY24 Capital Improvement Plan
budget. The proprietary purchase and cost of the Sttyker Power-Load system has been
significantly discounted by purchasing dirccdy tlirough Stryker mflier tlian a. third-party vendor.
The instnllation cost is included in the awarded ambulance contract to Foster Coach Sales, Inc.
and Horton Emergency Vehicles, which was approved al ihe August 21, 2023 Board Meeting and
slated for matiufacturing in the next couple months.

Recommendation:
It is i-ecom mended that a conh-act for the purchase oftlie Stryker Power-Load cot fastener systein
be awarded to Siryker Medical, the sole source provider offhe proprietary system, in the amount
of $28,244.40. The awarded amount includes a I "year warranty. Tlie Village ofSkokie Fire
Department has maintained a longstanding business retafionshtp with Stryker Medical and has
benefitted from their service and reliability.

Comments:
There have been significant inflationary cost increases to technical and medical equipment and
another price increase will be effective February 1,2024. The vendor is cun'ently holding the
price at the quoted amount. The $1744.40 additional funds needed to complete the purcliase wili
come from the Fire Deparimeni; EMS operafing budget. The Village has previously worked with
and purchased specialized Emergency MedicEtI Service equipinent from Stryker Medical. The
overall experience, history, and refefenco checks continue to remain exh'einely positive.

SUBJECT: January 16, 2024 Corporation Counsel's Report




A. Resolution, Approval and Release of Executive Session Minutes
 Item A is on the agenda for first reading and adoption.

 This Resolution will approve and allow for the release of the Executive Session minutes
 for the meetings listed. A Resolution regarding these minutes was previously presented
 at the September 5, 2023 Village Board Meeting. The vote of the Village Board resulted
 in a request for guidance from the General Counsel from the Illinois State Senate. The
 September 5, 2023 Resolution was never executed by the Mayor. While the Vit!age has
 not yet received the requested guidance regarding the interpretation of the vote, the
 Public Access Council (PAC), on December 1,2023 issued a binding opinion with regard
 to the release of "Closed Session" (Executive Session) Minutes. Since this opinion
 effected so many municipalities, the Illinois Municipal League (IML) on December 22,
 2023, released guidance to Its mennbers going forward. The Village is in the process of
 reviewing and revising procedures regarding the release of Executive Session Minutes
 in accordance with State Statute and the above mentioned binding opinion and (ML
 guidance; and developing a poiicy addressing this matter. As such, this Resolution
 differs from the September 5, 2023 Resolution by not including a section for destruction
 of verbatim minutes. This policy will be presented to the Village Board for approval in the
 near future.



B. Resolution, Approval and Release of Executive Session Minutes
 Item B is on the agenda for first reading and adoption.

 This Resolution will approve and allow for the release of the remainder of Executive
 Session minutes from 2023. This is in accordance with State Statute and the binding
 opinion release by the Public Access Council (PAC) on December 1, 2023 with regard
 to the release of "Closed Session" (Executive Session) Minutes. The Village is in the
 process of reviewing and revising procedures regarding the release of Executive Session
 Minutes in accordance with State Statute and the above mentioned binding opinion and
 ML guidance; and developing a policy addressing this matter. This policy will be
 presented to the Village Board for approval in the near future.

Memorandum


TO: Honorable Mayor and Board of Trustees


FROM: Paul Luke, Chairman
 Skokie Plan Commission

DATE: January 16,2024

SUBJECT: CASE 2023-02M - A REQUEST BY THOMPSON COBURN, LLP ON
 BEHALF OF DDRTC AT THE RETAIL SHOPPING CENTER AT 5555
 WEST TOUHY AVENUE FOR AN AMENDMENT TO SITE PLAN
 APPROVAL ORDINANCE 89-6-Z-2042 THROUGH THE MODIFIED
 REVIEW PROCEDURE

The Community Development Department received a request from DDRTC, at 5555 West Touhy, to
amend site plan approval ordinance 89-6-Z-2042 through the modified review procedure. The site
plan was approved in 1989 to allow the construction of a multiple tenant shopping center at the site,
in a B4 Regional Shopping district. The shopping center meets all Zoning Ordinance requirements.


Village Crossing is a regional shopping center in the southwest comer of the Village ofSkokie. The
shopping center is located in both Skokie and Niles. It is bordered to the south by the City of
Chicago, and to the west by the Village ofNiles. Residential districts are to the east and south, with
commercial and industrial to the north and west. The shopping center consists of two primary multi"
tenant buildings with out-lot buildings along Touhy Avenue and Carpenter Road.


The owner of the shopping center worked with the Community Development Department, Forestry
Division, and Engineering Division to make a plan to demolish the existing 667 space parking
structure, known as 7001 Central Avenue, to be replaced with 446 at-grade parking spaces. The
proposed site plan will include a total of 2,557 parking spaces, a surplus of 763 spaces, satisfying
both the Village ofSkokie and the Village ofNiles' parking requirements. Special consideration is
afforded to the area of the parking structure to be demolished. During the development of the
shopping center, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued a No Further Remediation
letter with the condition that the site below the encapsulation slab not be disturbed.


Improved landscaping was an important consideration in the review of this proposal. The ownership
group and Forestry division staff worked to ensure the following goals are met:
 1. Increase shade tree canopy,
 2. Increase tree diversity,
 3. Net increase of approximately 200 additional trees throughout the property
 4. Preserve as many trees as possible, per approval of Village Forester.


Many of the site plan approval conditions originally approved covered items such as the construction
of buildings and infrastructure, or contemplated specific retail businesses or uses that were never
constructed. Removing these serves to simplify the ordinance and match current conditions.
Additionally, the modified ordinance will remove the special use ordinances and original conditions
that are no longer required due to subsequent updates to the zoning code and other outdated Village
policies. Two special use ordinances were approved to regulate outdoor dining at restaurants. After
the zoning requirements for all B4 districts were changed to allow outdoor dining without the need
for a special use permit, the ordinances were not needed.

 Return to Agenda


Staff has reviewed the site plan, landscape plan, and approval ordinance amendment request. Staff
has no objections to the Petitioner's request to amend site plan approval ordinance 89-6-Z-2042.


Appearance Commission review and approval was not required.


The Corporation Counsel, Plan Commission Chairman, and Community Development Director
reviewed the request. It is their opinion that the revised site plan, landscape plan, and revised
ordinance are in substantial compliance with the intent of the original site plan approval ordinance.


It is respectfully recommended that the Petitioner's request be approved to modify site plan approval
ordinance 89-6-Z-2042 to demolish the existing 667 space parking structure to be replaced with 446
at-grade parking spaces, and that the following ordinances be repealed.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT 2023-30P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Council Chambers, 7:30 PM January 16, 2024


To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Chairman
Case: 2023-30P: Zoning Chapter Amendment



PLAN COMMISSION ANALYSIS
At its November 16, 2023 meeting, the Plan Commission reviewed the Village’s request
to amend Section 118, Article II, Article IX, and Appendix A of the Skokie Village Code
to establish provisions for co-working as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use
Zoning District. This proposal is a response to the increasing popularity of co-working
spaces as a result of the changes in the typical work model since the Covid pandemic.
Staff believes co-working to be more of a hybrid use than typical office, and one that is
an activity generator and will bring people Downtown. Staff recommends retaining the
regulatory controls that are embedded in the special use permit process to ensure each
site is compatible with surrounding uses. Making co-working a special use on Retail
Streets will allow Staff and the Plan Commission to review and approve the business
operations plan including rules for membership, and to ensure that there is sufficient
operational oversight and business leadership. It is also recommended that ground floor
windows of communal areas be transparent to allow interior views from the street.
Attached to this report is a retail streets map.
During the discussion about this case, the Commissioners inquired about co-working
spaces already present in the village; how this would affect retail streets and the
surrounding businesses. There was also inquiry from the Commissioners about the
demand for this use within the village.
A motion was made to approve the request to amend Section 118, Article II, Article IX,
and Appendix A of the Skokie Village Code to establish provisions for co-working as a
special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning District with no changes to Article
V at this time.



INTERESTED PARTIES
Legal notice was properly posted, advertised, and delivered to all property owners in
the area of the subject site as prescribed by the Zoning Chapter. No interested parties
spoke regarding this case.

PLAN COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING

STAFF REPORT 2023-30P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
Community Development Department Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, November 16, 2023


To: Paul Luke, Chairman, Skokie Plan Commission
From: Paul Reise, Planning Manager
Case: 2023-30P: Zoning Chapter Amendment
 Co-working office



 General Information
 Petitioner Village of Skokie
 Purpose The Village is requesting an amendment to Section 118 Article II,
 Article V, Article IX, Appendix A, and any other related sections
 of the Skokie Village Code to establish provisions for co-working
 as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning
 District.

STAFF ANALYSIS
In addition to recent sustainably initiatives, staff has also been reviewing the Zoning
Code for opportunities to increase pedestrian friendly policies. The Community
Development Department, along with other Village Departments, have always strived to
make Skokie more pedestrian friendly especially in our Retail Street corridors. Creating
a more walkable environment Downtown that attracts both shoppers and businesses is
a goal of the Village.
In order to achieve further sustainability and a more pedestrian friendly Village, the
Community Development Department is proposing to allow Co-working Office as special
uses in the Retail Street designated areas of Mixed-Use zoning districts.
Co-working space is still a relatively new concept, but it has swept across the nation
and around the world in recent years. The concept itself was introduced in 1995 and by
2019, there were close to 20,000 coworking stations located around the world. At that
time, the United States was home to about 80 million square feet of co-working space.
There has been a boom and bust cycle and especially post-COVID we are seeing a
stabilization in the market.
The pandemic forced many businesses to change their operational model overnight.
Now a lot of companies are sticking with a remote work model or a hybrid one, where
some people work from home and others work in an office on a revolving or part-time
basis at least.
Most employees like the option of hybrid schedules and, especially younger workers,
seek the personal interactions of communal workspaces. The notion of having to drive

 Return to 2023-30P




to and from work again is off-putting to some workers who’ve grown accustomed to a
shortened workday thanks to not having to commute daily Monday through Friday.
Currently, co-working is interpreted by Village Staff as “Office not otherwise listed” in
the use table and is therefore not permitted in the Retail Street areas of the Village.
Staff believes co-working to be more of a hybrid use type that can potentially have spill-
over benefits to Downtown more akin to retail. But Staff does recommend retaining
some regulatory controls in the Retail Street areas to ensure each site is compatible
with surrounding uses, that Staff and the Plan Commission review and approve the
operations plan including rules for membership, and to ensure that there is sufficient
operational oversight and business leadership.


The proposed changes would:
 1. Define Co-working Office in Sec. 118-32 General Definitions,
 2. Designate the minimum parking as- 1 parking space for each 300 ft2 of net floor
 area in Sec. 118-218 (b) (4), and
 3. Add Co-working Office to Appendix A- Use Table as;
 a. Permitted use in- NX, TX, CX, B1, B2, B3, B4, B6, M1, M2, M3, and OR
 b. Special Use in- Retail Street




STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the following sections of Chapter 118 Zoning of the Skokie
Village Code be amended, with text to be added highlighted and text to be removed
highlighted and stricken through in the attached draft ordinance.


Sec. 118‐32. General definitions.
 The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
 Co‐working Office means a facilitated environment which may contain desks or other workspaces and
facilities and is used by a recognized membership who share the site. Rules for membership and participation in
the coworking space are explicit, transparent and are available to the public. Coworking spaces may host classes or
networking events which are open either to the public or to current and prospective members. Fabrication tools
are limited to those which do not generate noise or pollutants in excess of what is customary within a typical office
environment.

PLAN COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Paul Luke - Chair

 Erica Minchella, Peter Ousley

PLAN COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Vijai Gupta


STAFF PRESENT: Tyler Kobylski, Asst Corporation Counsel,
 Paul Reise, Planning Manager, and
 Marlene Bargamian, Administrative Assistant

STAFF ABSENT: Johanna Nyden, Community Dev. Director

(I) CALL TO ORDER
 A quorum being present, Chair Luke called the meeting to order at 7:30 PM.

(II) APPROVAL OF MINUTES
 A motion to approve the minutes of the October 19, 2023 meeting was made by
 Commissioner Burman and seconded by all in unison.

 Ayes: Unanimous voice vote.

(III) RULING ON NOTICE
 Assistant Corporation Counsel Kobylski determined that notice was proper and correct.
 Personal notice is not required for text amendments.

(IV) CASE DESCRIPTION
 Case 2023-30P – Zoning Chapter Amendment: Co-Working
 The Village is requesting an amendment to Section 118, Article II, Article V, Article IX,
 Appendix A, and any other related sections of the Skokie Village Code to establish
 provisions for co-working as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning District.

 Planning Manager, Paul Reise, presented the case. He announced that no changes to
 Article V will be made at this time. Adult uses, cannabis dispensaries, etc. will continue to be
 regulated by their special use permits.

 “Co-working” is a very popular use especially since COVID. The pandemic forced
 businesses to change their operations and some companies have adopted a hybrid work
 model where people work part-time at home and part-time in an office on a revolving basis.
 The use has been interpreted as “office not otherwise listed” in the use table (Appendix A)
 and is not permitted in the Retail Streets areas of the Village. Staff believes that the co-
 working use needs to be defined better and would have spill-over benefits to the Downtown
 businesses much like retail and proposes to regulate the use through the special use permit
 process to retain some control over compatibility and parking with surrounding uses.

 Chairman Luke questioned how retailers would know. Staff informed the group that our
 Economic Vitality team has been out and about discussing the topic and raising questions.

 Page 27 of 28
 VOSDOCS-#616397-v1-Maser_Plan_Commission_Report_2023-30P_-_Zoning_Chapter_Amendment_for_Co-Working_Spaces
 Commissioner Berman shared that the Commission’s feeling in the past was not to have
 this type of use take up space; and retail areas should be kept solely retail.

 Commissioner Franklin inquired about the co-working space existing at Old Orchard from
 Regus Membership Plan. Staff offered that there was 1 such use in the office tower at Old
 Orchard.

 Commissioner Ousley stated that times have changed, and improved language is needed to
 clarify the use and its relationship to other uses. He also asked if there is an actual demand
 for this use or is the Village being forward and pro-active. Staff answered that there is no
 specific property or case coming up. Commissioner Mathee inquired if a request is filed,
 would it be heard by the Plan Commission.

 Commissioner Berman asked staff if there has ever been an office use turned down from
 occupying space on a retail street. Other commissioners offered that several uses such as
 insurance, real estate, and law offices have occupied storefronts on Oakton Street.
 Commissioner Mathee recalled a previous case (2021-28P) which protects downtown
 corner locations for restaurant or retail uses only.

(V) RECOMMENDATIONS AND VOTING
 A motion was made to approve the request to amend Section 118, Article II, Article IX,
 Appendix A, and any other related sections of the Skokie Village Code to establish
 provisions for co-working as a special use on Retail Streets in the Mixed-Use Zoning District
 with no changes to Article V at this time.

 Motion: Burman Second: Berman

 Ayes: 8
 Nays: 0


(VI) ITEMS FOR COMMUNICATION
 The next meeting on Dec. 7, 2023 will be the last one for 2023. Happy Thanksgiving wishes

 Respectfully submitted,
 Marlene Bargamian,
 Administrative Assistant

Memorandum
Community Development Department

TO: John Lockerby, Village Manager

FROM: Johanna Nyden, AICP
 Community Development Director

DATE: January 16, 2024

SUBJECT: CDBG Public Hearing #2: January 16, 2024, Village Board Agenda Item
 PY24/FY25 PUBLIC HEARING: Proposal Presentations

The second public hearing for the 2024-25 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program year will be conducted at the Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
A list of projects proposed by Village staff is attached and will be reviewed at the hearing.
Eighteen (18) proposals from service organizations are also attached for the Board's review. We
are requiring representatives of these agencies to be at the hearing to make brief presentations on
behalf of their funding applications. All applicants who have previously applied for CDBG
funding will be asked to limit their presentations to 2 minutes, while new applicants (or new
representatives) will be asked to limit their presentations to 3 minutes so that they may provide
organizational or personal background in addition to their project requests.
The Village's entitlement grant for Program Year 2024/Fiscal Year 2025 (PY24/FY25) is not yet
known. At this time, we are estimating between $500,000 to $600,000 in entitlement funds.
Proposals from both Village staff and outside agencies total $1,001,060, so reductions will be
necessary. The program’s 20% cap for administrative funding and the 15% cap for public
service funding (non-capital/non-construction expenditures) is applied against the new
entitlement, while there is no cap on capital/construction projects.
All funding requests are being analyzed to make sure they comply with CDBG regulations.
Conversations with applicants will assist staff in assessing conditions and the necessity of the
funding proposals. As funding requests have exceeded the Village’s total capacity to fund from
HUD’s entitlement, funding reductions will be necessary to align with our budget expectations
and meet the 15% funding cap requirements.
Budget recommendations by staff will be presented at the next public hearing on Tuesday,
February 20, 2024. The Board will determine at that time the proposed funding award for each
project or activity.

TO: Johanna Nyden, AICP, Community Development Director

CC: Justin Malone, Neighborhood & Counseling Coordinator



FROM: _____________________________
 Michael Charley, Director of Health and Human Services

DATE: December 6, 2023

SUBJECT: CDBG Program Year 2024 (PY24) Funding Request: Funding for Social Worker

During the first two quarters of the current program year (PY23), the Health and Human Services
Department received requests for assistance from 222 unduplicated low-income families and
individuals. Each case was diligently handled, with personalized counseling provided, and connections
made to the appropriate services. Emergency financial assistance was extended in many instances to
address immediate needs. Additionally, in the previous fiscal year (PY22), our Human Services staff
engaged with hundreds of households documenting income below 150% of the Federal Poverty
Guidelines.

It is noteworthy that at minimum 60% of our Social Worker's dedicated hours are directed towards
assisting these low-income residents. In the current fiscal year (PY23), the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program is funding 38% of the Social Worker's salary, totaling $30,898.

In light of the increasing demand for our services and the critical role played by our Social Worker, I
respectfully request funding in the amount of $50,278 for the upcoming program year (PY24). This
allocation will ensure the continuation of our valuable work and enable us to maintain the current level
of support provided to Skokie residents in need.

I appreciate your consideration of this funding request and look forward to discussing how we can work
together to further strengthen the Human Services Division's impact on our community.

MEMORANDUM
HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES

TO: Johanna Nyden, AICP, Community Development Director

CC: Justin Malone, Neighborhood & Counseling Coordinator



FROM: _____________________________
 Michael Charley, Director of Health and Human Services

DATE: December 6, 2023

SUBJECT: CDBG Program Year 2024 (PY24) Funding Request: Emergency Financial Assistance

I am writing on behalf of the Skokie Health and Human Services Department to formally request CDBG
funding amounting to $150,000 for the Village’s Emergency Financial Assistance (EFA) program during
the CDBG program year 2024 (PY24).

The Human Services Division oversees the Village’s EFA program, a vital initiative that extends
emergency financial aid to low-income Skokie residents. This assistance encompasses overdue rent,
mortgage, and utility payments, while also facilitating connections to crucial services such as clothing
resources, employment support, financial literacy programs, public aid, the State of Illinois SNAP
program, and local food pantries.

In the preceding calendar year, spanning from November 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023, the Human
Services Division successfully distributed $143,503 to eligible families. The escalating demand for this
essential aid underscores the program's significance and the pressing need for sustained support.

To be eligible for EFA funds, individuals and families must be Skokie residents and submit an application,
along with documentation demonstrating that their household income falls within 150% of the Federal
Poverty Level. Upon approval of the application, payments are disbursed directly to the utility provider,
landlord, and/or mortgage holder, streamlining the process for those in need.

Your consideration of this funding request is greatly appreciated. I am eager to engage in further
discussions on how we can collaborate to enhance the impact of the Human Services Division on our
community. Your support will undoubtedly contribute to the well-being of Skokie residents facing
financial challenges.

Application
Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 Housing Opportunity Development Corporation (HODC) is requesting CDBG funds
 from the Village of Skokie to install security cameras at two supportive housing
 properties in Skokie. The purpose of the security cameras, which will be located in
 the building's common areas, is to proactively ensure the safety and security of all
 tenants living in the building. HODC's experience is that the use of security cameras
 not only makes a building safer, but it also promotes increased care of the property
 which creates sustainability for long-term operations.

 The tenants who live in these 18 units are all extremely low-income households who
 have a disability and benefit from living in an affordable housing development.
 Tenants in these buildings include single parents, adults with disabilities and
 couples. These households earn less than 30% of area median income as
 determined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

 While the initial installation of security cameras will be short-term, their presence at
 the property will be a permanent benefit. The three primary goals of this project are
 to:

 1. Increase building security.
 2. Allow HODC to see what occurs in the common areas of the building.
 3. Promote a culture of care for the building as a whole among the tenants

2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?
 HODC has received CDBG funding in the past. In Program Years 2010, 2016, 2018,
 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 HODC was awarded CDBG funding from the
 Village of Skokie. HODC also received CDBG funding from the City of Evanston in
 Program Year 2014 and Program Year 2017.

3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.
 No, the CDBG funds related to this request will not be used for research and
 development.




1 CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie-unsigned 2
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.
 HODC's primary service area includes the following 16 communities: Park Ridge,
 Evanston, Lincolnwood, Skokie, Niles, Morton Grove, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe,
 Kenilworth, Glenview, Northfield, Northbrook, Deerfield, Highland Park and
 Highwood. HODC currently manages affordable housing developments in Evanston,
 Skokie, Niles, Glenview, Northfield, Northbrook, Deerfield, Highland Park, and
 LaGrange and works closely with municipal staff in each of these municipalities

2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 Yes, 100% of the people served under this program are Village of Skokie residents.

3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 All tenants living in these properties must have a disability and qualify as very low-
 income under the income limits determined by the US Department of Housing and
 Urban Development.


4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?
 HODC provides property management for six apartment buildings located in Skokie.
 Two buildings provide affordable two-bedroom apartments for families and another
 four buildings provide affordable permanent supportive housing for people with
 disabilities.

5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?
 There are no other organizations with the express mission of developing and
 managing affordable housing to low- to moderate-income households working in the
 same geographic area as HODC.




1 CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie-unsigned 3
C. Program Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc.):
 HODC does not provide direct services to tenants. However, HODC partners with
 local social service agencies that have the capacity to provide a number of services
 to tenants in the development, including those listed above, depending on need. In
 an effort to ensure tenants with disabilities remain housed and are successful and
 independent in community-based housing, HODC employs a Service Coordinator to
 bridge the gap between disabled tenants who need assistance and the supportive
 services to meet those needs. This position serves as a liaison between residents
 and support services including property management, social service providers,
 government agencies and family members.

2. Complete the following table for low- and moderate-income persons assisted for the primary purpose of
 the program, excluding complimentary services such as referrals:


 Total Skokie

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 17 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
 extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?
 1. Increase building security: Installation of security cameras will provide a visible
 deterrent from any possible unsafe activity in and around the property. 2. Allow
 HODC to see what occurs in the common areas of the building: HODC staff will be
 able to monitor general building activity as well as look at archived video footage in
 the event an incident is reported. 3. Promote a culture of care for the building as a
 whole among the tenants: With the presence of security cameras, the tenants will be
 even more diligent about maintaining, and reporting issues regarding, the physical
 condition of the building. This will increase HODC's ability to proactively identify and
 respond to any unusual circumstances at the building.


4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?


1 CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie-unsigned 4
 Receiving CDBG funds will not increase HODC's capacity to serve more Skokie
 residents because there are a finite number of tenants allowed to live in these units.
 However, it is possible that more Skokie residents could be served if, for example, a
 4 person household moved into a unit that was previously occupied by a 2 person
 household.

5. Would this program exist without CDBG funding?
 (Select one)
 Yes
 No


D. Staff for Funded Program
1. Total number of staff employed by agency for this program:

3. How long has the staff member identified above been with the agency?

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

 knowledgeable contractors are encouraged to help you make an informed decision and keep your
 organization’s funding match as close to 25% as possible. Ask the contractors to make
 recommendations to provide additional short-term construction and/or long-term maintenance cost
 savings. Review the estimates, select a project cost, add a minimum 10% contingency, add a
 minimum $1,500 for possible lead-based paint and/or asbestos testing and disposal activities, and

 of being kicked out by their family, or after running away to escape severe family dysfunction, neglect, or abuse.
 A large percentage have either witnessed or experienced domestic violence. Nationally, approximately 40% of
 homeless youth identify as LGBTQ, a statistic that is reflected in those that we serve.

 Emergency shelter provides immediate short-term housing (the average stay is approximately two weeks), a 24-
 hour crisis hotline and Text-4-Help line, crisis intervention, and educational support for female and transgender
 youth ages 12-20. Intensive crisis intervention and counseling successfully reunites most minor youth with their
 families. When this is not possible, we work to identify alternative safe placement, including our own transitional
 housing. The goal of The Harbour’s shelter services are to ensure immediate safety while providing a gateway
 to longer-term housing. Transitional living services provide up to 18 months of housing to youth ages 16-23
 through both supervised group living as well as scattered-site apartments. While in the program, youth receive a
 variety of services including benefit enrollment assistance, financial literacy curriculum, educational and
 employment support, health education, and life skills training. We also provide services to pregnant/parenting
 youth to enhance their parenting skills and ensure children are meeting developmental milestones. The goal of
 transitional housing services is to provide safe, stable housing while helping youth develop skills for long-term
 self-sufficiency.

 The Harbour requests funding to install low voltage wiring at three of its transitional housing facilities, which will
 allow for security cameras at these sites. Funding for this project would enhance security and technical
 operations across program sites, with the goal of improving safety and effective communications.


2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?
 Yes, The Harbour currently receives CDBG funds from Schaumburg and Cook County, and has previously
 received CDBG funds from Evanston, Des Plaines, and Skokie.


3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.
 No.

B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.
 The Harbour serves north and northwest suburban Cook County, including the townships of Barrington, Elk
 Grove, Evanston, Leyden, Maine, New Trier, Niles, Northfield, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Wheeling.


2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 All of The Harbour’s services are available to residents of the Village of Skokie. The Harbour is requesting
 capital funding for sites located in Skokie.


3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 The Harbour serves youth experiencing homelessness ages 12-23 in the N & NW suburbs of Cook County. Due
 to licensure preclusions, our emergency shelter and supervised group transitional housing cannot serve
 cisgender males at this time. Transitional housing via scattered-site apartments is open to both young men and
 women. We provide referrals to those for which we are unable to provide direct residential services.


4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?
 Three of our transitional living facilities for DCFS youth are located in Skokie. Several other sites are Skokie-
 adjacent; our emergency shelter and one transitional housing site for community youth are located in
 unincorporated Des Plaines. All of our sites, regardless of location, are open to Skokie residents, and youth in
 our scattered-site transitional housing may elect to rent apartments in Skokie.


5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?
 The Harbour serves suburban homeless youth – a population which is often denied and overlooked, with few
 resources available to them. In our service area, we are the only youth-focused, developmentally appropriate
 shelter serving youth over 18 (as being distinct from adult shelters, which are often not appropriate for the needs
 of young women ages 18-20), the only agency providing residential services to pregnant and parenting youth,
 and the only bridge between youth and young adult housing services in the northern suburbs. Additionally, we
 recently expanded our services to include transitional housing for youth victims of human trafficking, thereby
 providing both prevention and intervention to prevent human trafficking outcomes.

C. Program Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc.):
 The Harbour’s services include a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter and transitional housing, case
 management, counseling, life skills training, parenting skills training, benefit enrollment assistance, financial
 literacy services, educational and employment support, and referrals to other critical resources in the community
 (affordable childcare, mental health services, job placement services, etc.). Harbour staff assist youth in meal
 planning and shopping within a budget.

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 17 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
 extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?
 The Harbour’s proposed project to install low voltage wiring and security cameras to our transitional housing
 sites located in Skokie ensures a suitable living environment to youth experiencing homelessness by enhancing
 security and communications within our sites.


4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?
 CDBG funding would enhance safety of our transitional living sites rather than allow us to increase the number of
 residents served.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

Application
Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.


A. Program
1, Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and
 goals. Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several
 components, please prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 CJE SeniorLife (CJE) seeks $17,629 in Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to replace
 carpeting on the main level at CJE's Village Center subsidized senior apartment building at 5140 Galitz Street In
 Skokie. Village Center is a 150-unit independent living apartment building that is home to 178 mostly very low- to
 low-income Skokie residents ages 62 or older, Occupants must meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
 Development (HUD) Section 8 income requirements at initial occupancy. Most residents have annual household
 income of less than $15,000, 50 percent are ages 80 and older. Village Center is one of few subsidized senior
 independent living apartment buildings in Skokie, has no vacancies, and 363 people on Its waiting list.

 With CDBG funds, we plan to replace carpeting in the lobby and three front offices. The carpet was last replaced
 in 2010. It is threadbare in high traffic areas and becoming worn throughout. Keeping the carpet clean has
 become more difficult as it ages. The worn carpet diminishes the environment.

 Our goal is to improve the environment, which would benefit residents, their guests, staff, and other visitors. The
 project is in alignment with Skokie's goals to improve facilities and provide a better quality of life for low- and
 moderate-income Skokie residents.

 We expect project completion within two months of bid requests going out assuming no problems with continuing
 supply chain and vendor staffing issues.

2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with
 (including Skokie)?
 Yes, CJE has received CDBG funds before.

 The Village of Skokie CDBG program made the following awards to CJE sites including:

 $20,400 in Program Year 2022 to purchase and install an intercom system at Robineau Residence, a subsidized
 group home for low-income older adults,

 $15,000 In Program Year 2021 to purchase and install a boiler control system at Village Center, a subsidized
 apartment building for low-income older adults; and $30,000 in Program Year 2019 for improvements in Village
 Center's community wing including upgrading the flooring, lighting, and kitchen; making the restrooms more
 senior-friendly and ADA compliant; and replacing hallway doors with fire-rated doors,

 and supportive services. It is a hub of activity for the older adults living in Village Center's 150 apartments and
 open to nonresidents as well. Older adults enjoy creative arts programming, holiday celebrations, discussion
 groups, lunch-and-learns, exercise and cooking classes, tech training, musical performances, movie matinees,
 and field trips to local institutions.

 The Center's functional and flexible multi-room design encourages discussion and activities in both large and
 small group settings. The large MGTP community room has a capacity of 75, but seniors rotate in and out
 continuously for programs, so we can sen/e far more than 75 every weekday, MGTP also includes a tech center
 with a capacity of 20-30, a library/meeting room for more intimate groups, and a dedicated Community Services
 office space where seniors can meet one-on-one with CJE staff from the Counseling and Legal and/or Benefits
 Assistance departments.

 The Center is handicap-accessible and features comfortable furniture designed for older adults.

5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?
 Among other agencies that provide subsidized housing are the Chicago Housing Authority, Cook County
 Housing Authority, and Lutheran Social Services.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
 SKOKIE
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency's proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health sen/ices. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.

 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.

 D Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.


2, Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
 (The sefection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 A vailabiiity/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/mode rate-income people where they live.

 Affordabifity
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.

 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

Application
Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)

 WINGS request is to support the 4-unit Transitional Housing units located in Skokie through a capital request.
 WINGS request of $11,250 is to purchase and install two projects that will provide minimally 8 – 16 Skokie
 residents annually the confidentiality, privacy and security necessary after they have left an abusive relationship.
 This 4-unit apartment building requires a privacy fence that will protect their anonymity and confidentiality of their
 car make and model and license plate. After leaving an abusive relationship Victims become more vulnerable
 and at risk of harm from their abuser.

 WINGS proposal is to install a privacy fence and a video talk/video doorbell /alarm system. Due to the age of
 these buildings and wear and tear combined with the increased need for security of our Survivors, WINGS
 request seeks to increase and improve the security and confidentiality to maintain the level of Excellence
 WINGS prides itself on. This will allow WINGS Survivors and family to begin and or continue their trajectory of
 healing safely.

 In FY23, WINGS provided 21 Skokie residents with Transitional Housing through these units. Additionally,
 WINGS also provided 4 Skokie residents with Permanent Supportive Housing. Additionally, these 25 residents
 received 199.03 hours of counseling.

2. Previous CDBG Funding

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

 Skokie)?
 Yes; Connections has received CDBG funds from Evanston, IL. Connections also received CDBG-CV funds

 There are a couple agencies that provide very small amounts of eviction prevention funds (Niles
 Township office, and the Education Foundation Supporting the Students of Niles Township.
 Connections partners with both organizations around this program and other programs supporting
 our neighbors experiencing housing insecurity.
C. Program Client Statistics
 1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc.):
 Within our Homeless Prevention program (through a contract with the Illinois Department of Human
 Services), program participants receive short-term funding to remain housed: monies towards their rent,
 mortgage or utilities. Alongside these funds comes case management from our Prevention Specialists. In
 tandem, through privately fundraised dollars, Connections offers program participants or participants of other
 programs within the organization short-term Diversion funds which are an alternative solution to keeping
 individuals, housed.
 Households connected to care within our Homeless Prevention program are also linked into Connections’
 larger set of service offerings, such as emergency shelter services, physical and mental healthcare services,
 housing case management, youth housing services, access to our clothing closet and food pantries, housing
 case management (as needed) and more. Forging individualized connections and opportunities is at the core of
 what we do. We know that ending homelessness requires that we support our individual family’s needs one
 person at a time.

 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



 3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?
 Connections’ team holds strong relationships with the Village of Skokie’s Health and
 Human Services and other peer organizations in the community where we accept referrals for our
 Homeless Prevention Program. In fiscal year 2023, our team administered approximately $200,000
 in eviction prevention funding (through direct assistance funding from the State of Illinois) to Skokie
 residents. In partnership with the Village of Skokie and Cook County, in FY2022 and 2021, even
 more was administered. Connections holds a contract with the State of Illinois to administer
 eviction prevention funds. A contract with insufficient support for its critical staff time (the contract
 holds a 15% cap for case management and staff support). With the demand for these critical
 funding growing since the start of the pandemic, we look to partners like the Village of Skokie to
 sustain this program. Since the start of the pandemic more than know that homelessness and
 households at risk of becoming homeless is on the rise. According to HUD’s 2023 Point in Time
 analysis, there was a 12% increase in homelessness across the country from 2022. We anticipate
 a growing level of need in our communities as the cost of living continues to rise.


 4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?
 Proposed CDBG funding ensures adequate staffing for the Homeless Prevention Program
 team to administer contracted pass-through eviction prevention funds supplied by the State of
 Illinois. We anticipate supporting at minimum 70 households through case management provided
 by our Homeless Prevention Specialists.

 organization’s funding match as close to 25% as possible. Ask the contractors to make
 recommendations to provide additional short-term construction and/or long-term maintenance cost
 savings. Review the estimates, select a project cost, add a minimum 10% contingency, add a
 minimum $1,500 for possible lead-based paint and/or asbestos testing and disposal activities, and
 then add the total amount to the total project cost on the Application Summary Sheet. An official

Application
Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 The Catalyst Life Skills Program for Individuals with Developmental Disabilities is a new structured day program
 at CEL that focuses on specific adaptive life skills that individual members want to learn to be successful in their
 own lives. Our program places a strong emphasis on practical application. Members not only gain knowledge but
 also learn to apply these skills effectively in real-world scenarios. As they acquire vital life skills, members gain
 more control over their choices, managing daily routines, and future aspirations. The program runs from
 Monday- Friday in small groups of members per session, ensuring personalized attention and support. The
 expected outcome of the Catalyst Life Skills Program is the empowerment of our members to lead more
 independent and fulfilling lives. Through participation in this program, we anticipate that our members will
 demonstrate improved proficiency in essential life skills, such as meal planning, personal finance
 management, community safety, problem-solving, etc.

2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?
 Yes, we have received funds from the Village of Skokie in the past and are a current Village of Schaumburg
 recipient.


3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.
 No funds will be used for research and development.




CEL - CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 4
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.
 CEL serves the Chicagoland area. We do not have a specific geographic area. We have members who attend
 programs from the Village of Skokie and 49 other communities.


2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 Yes, this program services residents of the Village of Skokie


3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 Target population is a resident over the age of 22 yrs., who has an intellectual and/or developmental disability
 who is looking for opportunities to learn life skills to become more independent.

4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?
 All programs and services are offered to Skokie residents but located at our building in Riverwoods or in local
 group homes and schools.

5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?
 There are other agencies who provide programming to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities
 such at Trinity Services and Orchard Village. CEL’s programming focuses on the social aspect, as well as the
 vocational opportunities in the community to help build daily living skills while finding paid part-time and full-time
 employment. As our parents have told us, some of these programs often are not able to take their kids because
 of the type or extent of the child’s developmental disability. These families need more options to find the best fit
 for their child. We like to say that there should be MORE choices for people with intellectual/developmental
 disabilities, not just a handful, especially to help with job training and skills.




CEL - CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 5

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

 Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


 All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

 A. Program
 1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)

AHSFHC respectfully requests $20,000 in Skokie CDBG funds to support optimal productivity at the 8800 N. Lockwood
Avenue dental clinic. Ours is the first, and continues to be the only, safety net dental clinic located in Skokie for patients who
are uninsured, underinsured or on Medicaid. We serve a low-income, medically underserved population and the entire
service area is a HPSA for Mental Health, Dental, & Primary Care, as well as a Medically Underserved Area (MUA). In
recent years, our service area has seen an influx of migrants from the southern border and immigrants from around the world
(Afghanistan, Ukraine, Burma, Iraq, etc.) fleeing war and violence who need preventive care in their language. Many of our
patients are immigrants and/or refugees who have barriers to care such as limited prior access to preventive healthcare
services. The clinic focuses on preventive measures such as regular check-ups, cleanings and fluoride treatments to
maintain optimal oral health. Diagnostic services and restorative treatment are also available. As an FQHC, we emphasize
patient education on oral hygiene, nutritional advice for maintaining good oral health and the importance of regular dental
care. Our dental program aligns with Skokie Consolidated 2020 Plan to improve access to oral health services for Skokie
residents.

The dental clinic operates as part of our Integrated Care Model – primary, behavioral, and oral health care services
accessible under one roof—to improve patient access to care. For example, pediatricians complete an oral health risk
assessment at the time of a medical visit and provide a written referral to the dental clinic as needed. Dental staff call these
patients to make appointments if they were not made on the same day. Further, dental staff screen patients for diabetes and
hypertension at the time of their oral health visit. Grant funds will also be used to leverage communication channels to bring
back clients who fell behind on preventive care during the pandemic.

Like other health clinics locally and nationwide, our return to peak productivity after the Pandemic has been complicated by
challenges to maintaining optimal levels of support staff. We use grant funds to offer better salaries and benefits to attract
qualified talent to work in our dental clinics. The impact of optimal staffing is improved patient access to care, reduced wait
times, and more personalized attention, enhancing overall patient satisfaction and retention. Further, resources to fund
dental support positions help optimize clinic workflow and operational efficiency.

Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?

The Village of Skokie has covered partial funding i.e. mini-grants for our dental program in Skokie for the past several years.
Additionally, AHS Family Health Center received CDBG funding since FY-15 covering the partial cost of small capital
projects for our Skokie site located at 8800 N. Lockwood Ave.


 2. Will any funds be used for research and development? NO
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.
 CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 5
 B. Service Area
 1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.

AHS Family Health Center currently has four FQHC sites, two of which are located in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood, and

patients reside in Cook County but some come from outside Cook County seeking culturally sensitive and linguistically
appropriate services at our facilities.


 2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?

Yes
 3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.

etc.


 4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?

AHS Family Health Center operates one FQHC site in Skokie located at 8800 N. Lockwood Ave. This site offers integrated
primary care, behavioral health, and oral health services to area residents - adults as well as children. This location also provides
screening services for breast and cervical cancer to eligible uninsured women at no cost. AHS Family Health Center was also at
the forefront of responding to COVID-19 and continues to provide screening, testing, vaccination, education, and management of
the virus to Skokie residents.

 3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?


We will meet CDBG goals by providing Skokie residents access to culturally sensitive and linguistically comprehensive
integrated primary, behavioral, and oral health services in a safe and risk-free environment. CDBG goals mirror AHSFHC
goals: improving accessibility and affordability; providing services for vulnerable populations; educating patients; and
collaborating with other community stakeholders. Program funds will be for maximum impact: 1) to optimize staffing & for the
underserved in Skokie, ensuring that dental care is accessible and affordable for all residents regardless of their financial
status; 2) funds will be used to provide services for the uninsured, underinsured, or those on Medicaid as well as patients
who have had limited prior access to preventive care; 3) CDBG funds will support staffing the enhance capacity of the dental
clinics to serve more patients; 4) and finally funds will contribute to education of patients on the importance of preventive oral
healthcare.

Our oral health program expanded in 2019 and added two dentists for a total of five dentists and one hygienist across our
four health center sites. The Skokie dental clinic has three dental operatories with a full-time dentist providing oral health
services. There are two primary care physicians at the Skokie clinic that enable us to promote warm hand offs between the
oral health and primary care and/or behavioral health providers. Our increased capacity maximizes the potential of patients
to access preventive dental services at all of our clinics.

1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 x Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 x Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program

All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)

 The Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) Evanston/Skokie Valley General
 Counseling Program’s primary goal is to support and strengthen families and
 individuals through counseling services offered at the center in Skokie, in clients'
 homes and in schools. Both the needs being met through counseling, and the
 number of vulnerable people seeking counseling is higher than MFS’s capacity and
 results in a waitlist. Throughout the pandemic and its ebbs and flows, counselors
 continue to see new anxieties and worsening of longstanding anxiety. They continue
 to see children with negatively impacted social development and social skills due to
 limited in person interactions. They are also seeing that children are more
 susceptible and at risk for being victimized due to dangerous online behaviors.
 Added to these struggles is the need to manage the fear of contracting COVID-19,
 its variants, and the additional worry about people who are particularly vulnerable.
 With these stressors in mind, MFS strengthened its ability to serve clients through
 telehealth and video calls at their request. Currently, services are being provided
 50% in person and 50% telehealth (both phone and video). Clients using telehealth
 report doing so both due to fear of COVID-19 as well as for convenience. More than
 ever, it is imperative to support mental health resources for vulnerable residents.
 This request allows MFS to serve low/moderate income residents of Skokie in an
 affordable manner in a community-focused setting that is both accessible and
 ensures safety while receiving services. MFS uses a solution-focused, time-limited
 approach to counseling interventions that build on clients' strengths, capacity for
 change and growth, as well as their relationships within family, community, work and
 school settings.
 MFS Skokie Valley is requesting $10,000 to partially fund the salary of a counselor
 to serve at least 20 low/moderate income Skokie residents through the General
 Counseling Program. In the coming year, an increase in support is crucial to ensure
 mental health services are available to the most at-risk individuals and families
 within the community. Every client goes through financial registration at the time of
 intake and the fee is determined using the MFS sliding fee scale. In order to
 continue to serve the low/moderate income residents on a sliding fee scale next
 year, this funding is critical. As a Tier One CDBG recipient since the Tier system
 began, MFS Skokie Valley looks forward to continuing its partnership with the Village
 of Skokie through collaboration and referrals.

B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.

 MFS Skokie Valley Center primarily serves Skokie, Niles Township and Evanston.

2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?

 Yes, this program will serve 20 residents of Skokie.

3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.

 This funding will be used to support low and moderate income individuals and
 families in need of general counseling who would otherwise not be able to afford the
 service.

4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?

 The MFS-Skokie center provides the following programs: (1) General Counseling
 Services to families, couples and individuals (2) Mental Health Services for children,
 adolescents and adults (3) Adult Protective Services which investigates and
 provides follow-up services to reduce the risk of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of
 adults over age 18 with disabilities and adults over age 60 (4) Adoption Support and
 Preservation Services which provides home-based counseling to families formed
 through adoption or subsidized guardianship through DCFS (5) Substance Abuse
 Prevention Services which provides programming to encourage healthy, drug-free
 lives to the students at Lincoln Junior High School and promotes the awareness of
 substance abuse issues to the entire Niles Township community 6) The Skokie
 Youth Outreach Program which, as part of the General Counseling Program, works
 with the Village of Skokie and the Cook County Court System to make sure youth
 with ordinance violations get thorough assessments and access to needed
 supportive services.

5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?

 MFS is unique in its ability to provide hyper-local services with larger wrap-around
 supports and referrals to help strengthen families and individuals. Manny is a
 client who started services in summer of 2023 to address symptoms of
 depression, including passive suicidal ideation, which was concerning for both
 client and his mother. Through the use of cognitive behavioral therapy this client
 was able to explore and identify a primary trigger to his depression, which was
 loneliness. Client had struggled to “bounce back socially" after the pandemic, and
 then had trouble transitioning back to in person learning. Client continued work in
 therapy and built resilience to difficult thoughts and feelings, eventually trying out
 for and joining the high school's vocal jazz ensemble. Since this experience
 client has also engaged in multiple other after school groups. At time of
 discharge, client reported a typical emotional range, as well as feeling able to
 cope with any future difficulties with the support of friends and family.

3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?

 MFS-Skokie is known throughout the community for its client centered and trauma-
 informed services. Referrals are made from schools, the police department, and
 other community organizations as well as other internal MFS programs. Individual
 client progress on goals is measured using the IM+CANS tool which contains a
 complete set of core items that assess function across multiple life domains such as
 risk behaviors, trauma exposure, behavioral/emotional needs, substance use, and
 cultural factors, as well as a physical health risk assessment.

4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?
 CDBG funds will allow MFS to serve an additional 20 Skokie residents on a
 sliding fee scale. MFS-Skokie uses some of its limited United Way funds and
 private fundraising dollars to supplement clients who cannot afford counseling
 services. This funding is very important to provide essential services to Skokie
 residents.

 proof of income. In extreme cases, where the client cannot afford the fee based
 upon the sliding fee scale, the fee may be reduced or waived with written
 approval of the Program Supervisor. In this case, the client must certify their
 financial situation and confirm that they are unable to afford a fee. Clients sign a
 fee agreement at their first clinical session and MFS staff collects the fee.


2. Describe how client fees are used:

 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

Application
Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.


A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 Impact requests CDBG funding to support its Employment Services Program, which assists adults living with
 mental illness in seeking, acquiring, and maintaining competitive employment in their communities. The
 Employment Services Program utilizes the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model,
 which was developed for adults living with mental illness by Dartmouth College and has proven widely effective
 in reducing symptoms, increasing self-esteem, and promoting higher levels of independence.

 A key component of the IPS service model is the integration of employment services with mental health service
 providers. Impact provides employment services to participants in Impact's Housing and Clinical Services
 Programs and partners with local organizations providing community mental health care. Employment staff
 maintain highly collaborative relationships with therapists, attending clinical team meetings to ensure that
 participants' employment and clinical goals are aligned.

 In Skokie, most of Impact's participants are clients of Turning Point, with a smaller number of Skokie residents
 referred through Erie Family Health Center and residing in Skokie through Impact's Permanent Supportive
 Housing (PSH) program. During PY24, Impact also anticipates sen/ing additional participants via Impact's new
 16-unit PSH building, which was completed in July 2023.

 In summer 2023, Impact was chosen to provide behavioral healthcare coordination in the Housing Authority of
 Cook County (HACC) properties. One of those properties is a 126-unit building in Skokie. Our employment
 services are offered to all of the HACC residents along with case management, therapy, and housing stability,

 Our Employment Specialists also receive referrals from two Skokie social workers.

 Services provided by the employment team are participant-driven, highly individualized, time-un limited, and
 integrated with mental health and other sen/ices, Participants work with an employment specialist to identify
 career interests, develop professional goals, and determine employment's effect on benefits. Employment
 specialists assist participants with creating resumes and searching for jobs. Depending on an individual's
 employment history and commitment to a particular path, the Job search process can last between one and four
 months.


 Upon employment, participants continue meeting with their employment specialist regularly. Participants learn
 skills for maintaining employment and any job-related challenges that arise. From there, participants gradually
 decrease their involvement with the program, and exit the program when they no longer need services.
 However, if a participant continues to need support in navigating employment, they can continue working with
 staff as long as necessary. On average, participants work with the Employment Services Program for a little over
 one year,

2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 Yes



3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 To qualify for Impact's Employment Services Program, a participant must 1) have a diagnosed mental illness;
 and 2) be receiving Medicaid. If an individual is eligible for Medicaid but not currentiy enroiied, Impact will

 All Impact participants are low-income,




4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in SkokEe?
 Impact's Skokie-based employment specialists have been working out of Turning Point's office, located at 8324
 Skokie Blvd. Impact has recently expanded its Housing Services Program into Skokie, acquiring a 6-unit
 apartment building and opening a new 16-unit apartment building at 8047 Floral Ave.There are offices for
 employment specialists in this new buiiding, We have employment specialists working out of the HACC building
 at 9238 Gross Point Road, All HACC residents are eligible to receive Empioyment Program services. Fina!ly,
 impact is participating in a national employment research study with residents who are low-lncome and etigjbie
 for SNAP and TANF. Our employment specialists have been working with the Director of Community
 Engagement at the library and will have an information desk at the library twice monthly to answer empteyment
 and career related questions. They are aiso receiving referrals from the two Skokie social workers.




5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?

 Impact's service area,




VOSDOCS-#615324-v1-CDBG_PY24J\pplication_Skokie
C. Program Client Statistics
1. List services provided to clients (meals served, shelter, counseling, day care, etc.):

2. Complete the following table for low- and moderate-income persons assisted for the primary purpose of
 the program, excluding complimentary services such as referrals:

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 17 years old or older who contribute to ffte household. The
 extremely low, very tow, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, maniage, or adoption,



3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?
 The overall aim of the Employment Sen/ices Program is to aid in breaking the cycle of housing insecurity,
 joblessness, and a lack of integration into the larger community for adults living with mental illness. Services that
 allow individuals living with mental illness to live in communities of their choosing, work in jobs aligning with their
 preferences, and participate in community-based services enhances overall community stability.

 Impact will achieve the CDBG goat of creating economic opportunities through the operation of the existing
 Employment Services Program, primarily by working with participants through Turning Point and the Erie
 Evanston-Skokie Family Health Center. Impact's partnership with the library's Director of Community
 Engagement and Skokie's two social workers will allow for an increased number of community referrals,
 While specific participant goals are individualized according to participant needs, the Employment Services
 Program tracks the following outcomes: number of job development contacts made by employment specialists;
 number of participants who gain employment; and number of participants who retain employment for at least 90
 days.




4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?

VOSDOCS-#615324-v1-CDBG_PY24_Application^Skokie 7

1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identity your agency's proposed objectives.
 (The selection should refSect the purpose of your agency's proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Uving Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 iiving environment.

 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.

 x Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.


2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency's proposed outcomes.
 (The setection should reflect the result your agency would fike to accomplish.)

 AvailabJlity/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services^ public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.

 Affordabitity
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1 % interest, which is far below the market rate, This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides sen/ices to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.

 x SustainabUity
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)

According to the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 43.7 million Americans
needed substance use treatment in 2021, but only 4.1 million (9%) of those individuals
received treatment. Two significant barriers to receiving care are (1) inability to pay for
treatment and (2) lack of knowledge or connection to available resources. PEER’s
robust substance use treatment program addresses both of these barriers, engaging
adolescents and adults from Skokie with substance use disorders in high-quality,
evidence-based and affordable treatment.

(1) As a safety net treatment provider, over 80% of PEER clients are low-income and
use public insurance or sliding scale fees to access our services. Unlike most for-profit
AND nonprofit treatment providers, we place no limits on the number of uninsured
clients or those using Medicaid. We accept all clients and depend on fundraising –
including funds from the Skokie CDBG grant – to fill the gap between Medicaid/state
reimbursement (for uninsured clients) and the actual cost of services. We also offer
sliding scale fees for those clients with private insurance whose coverage does not
(fully) cover our services and/or who cannot afford co-pays. Through these means, we
prioritize low-income Skokie clients and provide them the urgent care they need, helping
them take life-saving steps towards recovery, regardless of their ability to pay.

PEER Services is licensed by the Illinois Department of Human Services and accredited
by the Joint Commission. To treat adolescents and adults with alcohol and other drug
use disorders, we provide individual and group counseling, as well as Intensive
Outpatient Program counseling (9 hours of treatment weekly for those with severe
SUD). We also provide Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR) for adults with opioid use
disorders. SUD counseling can last from 6 weeks to many months. MAR treatment
typically lasts at least one year.

(2) We have built partnerships with the Skokie Health Department, the Village of Skokie,
Skokie Youth Court, the Niles schools, Turning Point, and other local organizations to
help reach Skokie residents and families who need services. We will continue to reach
out to other social services providers, the police, the courts, employers, local religious
leaders, schools, and other institutions to facilitate referrals to treatment and the
appropriate coordination of services for Skokie clients.



CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 2
2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?

 PEER Services has received CDBG funding from Skokie before. We have served
 clients from various municipalities in Northern Cook County, including the primary
 five suburban townships: Niles, Maine, Northfield, New Trier, and Evanston.


3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.

 No, all funds will be used to provide direct services to low-income Skokie residents.




CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 3
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.

 We serve the northern neighborhoods of Chicago and the primary five suburban
 townships: Niles, Maine, Northfield, New Trier, and Evanston.

 We offer onsite services at our main office in Evanston and our satellite office at
 Turning Point in Skokie. We also offer SUD counseling via telehealth.


2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?
 Yes. This program serves Skokie residents. Over 90% of the Skokie residents we
 serve are low to moderate income individuals.

3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.
 As a program licensed by the Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of
 Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, individuals served must demonstrate a problem
 with alcohol or other drugs and must meet the American Society of Addiction
 Medicine criteria to be served in either an early intervention or outpatient treatment
 setting.


4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?

 We provide in-person substance use counseling services at Turning Point (8324
 Skokie Boulevard) and via telehealth. This year, our staff provided a series of Early
 Intervention Trainings to 9th graders during their PE class at Niles North and Niles
 West High Schools, to provide accurate information about substances and their
 impact on adolescents’ brain development, physical health, and academics/future
 plans. We are also collaborating with TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe
 Communities) to provide substance use treatment to justice-involved adults
 identified at the Skokie Court House.

5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?

 Behavioral Services Center, Gateway Foundation and Rosecrance provide similar
 services in the Skokie area. However, we are the sole safety net provider for our
 area. We serve everyone regardless of their insurance status or their ability to pay.
 This includes serving uninsured clients and accepting public insurance.

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 17 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
 extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?

 Our program meets the national objective of increasing access to services to benefit
 low-income persons. By increasing access to services and addressing substance
 use problems impacting this population, we will be contributing to making Skokie a
 suitable living environment for low-to-moderate income citizens. Addiction is a
 problem that seriously impacts life in the community. Not only is the person with
 SUD’s life dramatically impacted by the substance use problem, but the lives of
 children and other family members, neighbors, and coworkers are impacted as well.
 While addiction is widely accepted as a problem, the full scope and cost of the

CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 5
 problem has often been difficult to quantify. Recent research has demonstrated that
 mental health and substance use problems are increasing among youth and adults
 nationwide.

 As we have seen in many Chicago and suburban high schools this year, concern
 about substance use among teens has increased at the Niles High Schools. PEER
 has a close relationship with staff at these schools who refer students who are using
 to PEER for Early Intervention and/or SUD Treatment Services. Families also self-
 refer their teens to PEER. Our counselors have expertise in working with both
 adolescents and their families. The following story provides an example of this work.

 PEER Staff Therapist Kareen Ross described her work with Samir (not his real
 name), an adolescent resident of Skokie. His parents brought him to PEER after
 learning that he was using marijuana and vaping tobacco. Kareen worked with
 both Samir and his parents, initially to understand his use and then to work on
 reducing his substance use. Samir’s parents were most concerned about his
 marijuana use, so that’s where Kareen began. At first, Samir was resistant to
 therapy because he thought his use wasn’t a problem. Kareen worked with him
 to understand its negative impacts, including his declining grades and his
 relationship with his parents, who were extremely concerned but also supportive.

 Kareen recognized that Samir was conflicted. There was a part of him that
 wanted to stop using, but the pull of marijuana and his addiction to nicotine made
 it difficult to stop. Kareen worked with him to reduce use, suggesting he try
 reducing the number of days he used marijuana and try reducing the number of
 times per day he used. Samir reduced from daily use to two days per week.
 Kareen shared with Samir, as she does with all clients, that the only way he will
 be able to stop using is if he changes his behavior. He has moved from
 resistance to accepting support from Kareen and his parents and developing new
 habits and positive coping skills to continue reducing his use.

 Ongoing financial hardship means that many Skokie residents cannot access or
 afford most SUD treatment programs, so PEER remains an essential option, as we
 accept all clients regardless of their income or insurance status. This is especially
 important because the autorenewal of Medicaid benefits ended this summer, which
 resulted in many people losing coverage, due to lack of awareness of the change,
 lack of access to technology, and other barriers. Fortunately, Illinois is doing much
 better than other states to re-enroll recipients; but many people including those
 struggling with Mental Health and SUD, have challenges to doing this on their own.
 PEER continues to serve clients during gaps in coverage and works with them to
 renew coverage, which impacts not only care at PEER, but other healthcare needs
 as well.

 Skokie CBDG funds allow us to address barriers to care by funding a portion of the
 salary for our Clinical Director who provides oversight and management of our
 treatment services to Skokie residents, and who provides the supervision and
 support to our counselors that ensures consistent, high-quality treatment services.
 Her salary is NOT covered by Medicaid, state or other insurance reimbursements.


CDBG_PY24_Application_Skokie 6
4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?

 We already receive CDBG funds and those funds are essential for us to continue to
 serve a significant number of Skokie residents.

 If we receive the full amount requested, we project to serve 22 more Skokie
 residents next year than we did in Program Year 2022-23.

 Without CDBG funds, our ability to serve Skokie residents who have no insurance or
 are not eligible for state funded services would be diminished and could result in
 longer waits for urgently needed care. PEER would also need to decrease the time
 we devote to working with Skokie schools to identify and provide treatment for
 adolescents, at a crucial time since ongoing use has so many detrimental effects on
 their brain development, academics, and their futures, including placing them at
 greater risk for developing addiction. As described above, SUD treatment at most
 agencies is out of reach for clients with financial or insurance challenges, making
 PEER an essential support for Skokie residents with SUD.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 X Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 X Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

 PEER Services Overview
 Including Description of Services

Founded in 1975, PEER Services has grown into the leading substance use treatment provider for low‐
income youth and adults in Northern Cook County and a leading provider of youth prevention
education. It is our mission to reduce the harms of substance use, addiction, and stigma by engaging
youth and adults with innovative prevention programming and by supporting people on their path to
recovery through holistic, evidence‐based treatment. We provide affirming services to all in need,
regardless of their income or insurance status.

While most other substance use treatment providers in our service area require private insurance or
place a cap on the number of clients with public insurance that they will accept, we accept all clients
regardless of their ability to pay for treatment. Typically, 90% of our clients have incomes at or below
200% of the federal poverty level (FPL). We serve many of the most marginalized youth and adults in
Chicago’s northern neighborhoods and the northern suburbs. In addition to high levels of poverty, about
half of our clients are people of color, many are or have been involved with the criminal justice system
(often for non‐violent drug offenses), 20% are senior citizens, a growing number are homeless or
housing insecure, and most face stigma in the community related to their substance use that creates
additional barriers to recovery.

Our goals are:

 1) To keep people healthy by preventing or delaying the initiation of youth substance use;
 2) To intervene with use early, before it develops into addiction; and
 3) To provide effective treatment to teens and adults suffering from substance use disorders.

Our vision is for a community free from harmful cycles of trauma, substance use, and addiction and from
the stigma and systemic barriers that reinforce them. Our goal is to help people develop the skills and
resilience to overcome challenges and to unleash their inner capacities to create the lives they want.

PEER Services is licensed by the State of Illinois to provide substance use treatment services to
adolescents and adults. We are accredited by the Joint Commission, formerly known as the Joint
Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO), the gold standard of approval in
the health care field.

Our Services

We currently provide the following prevention education and substance use treatment services to
individuals aged 12‐90+ who reside in the northern suburbs and north side of Chicago.

 1) Prevention education for middle and high school students. PEER’s Prevention Program seeks to
 educate youth, their parents and community about substance use and to teach informed

 1
 decision‐making, communication, and coping skills to enhance the protective factors that help
 adolescents make healthy choices with respect to substance use and other critical issues they
 face, helping them to avoid or significantly delay the initiation of alcohol or other drug use.

 We employ a community‐wide public health approach to substance use prevention, including
 partnership and collective action with schools, community leaders, local businesses, schools,
 social service agencies, and local government. We utilize information campaigns and advocacy
 to further our prevention efforts. Our goal in working with the community at large is to ensure
 that the easy choice for youth is to be substance‐free.

 Our Prevention team offers customized workshops and trainings, as well as Mental Health First
 Aid that teachers participants to identify and respond to signs of mental illness and substance
 misuse.

2) Substance Use Treatment: Our substance use treatment services, all of which are outpatient,
 are customized for each client and include:

 a) Early intervention and substance use disorder (SUD) counseling for adolescents and
 their parents/families.
 b) SUD treatment for adults of all ages, including individual counseling; intensive
 outpatient group counseling; after‐care counseling; and Driving Under the Influence
 (DUI) risk reduction courses.
 c) Medication‐assisted recovery (MAR) for adults with opioid use disorders. MAR
 treatment includes medication, counseling, and case management.
 d) Case management, which is integrated into all treatment services, to holistically
 assess and identify client needs and connect them with health and community
 services that will support their recovery, such as food assistance, housing services,
 employment services, and primary healthcare.
 e) Bridge psychiatric services and referrals to ongoing psychiatric care at Ascension St.
 Francis Hospital.
 f) Art therapy. Our program currently includes two weekly open studio art therapy
 groups for PEER clients and integration of art therapy into individual treatment.
 Client artwork is displayed throughout our Evanston office and featured in an
 annual PEER client exhibition celebrating National Recovery Month at the Glenview
 Public Library.

3) Community‐based services. We have extensive partnerships with local organizations with which
 we share referrals, provide consultations regarding substance use issues, and educate the public
 about alcohol and other drugs and SUD treatment. Current partnerships include:

 a. First Steps to Recovery, a partnership with Ascension St. Francis Hospital, places a PEER
 counselor onsite in the emergency department to connect with patients exhibiting
 alcohol or drug intoxication, to help them access ongoing treatment in the community



 2
 (at PEER or elsewhere) following hospital release, disrupting the revolving door of
 substance use and hospitalization.
b. Support Groups at Connections for the Homeless. PEER is meeting with clients weekly
 at a long‐term shelter to provide a space for support, help identify individuals with SUD,
 and introduce the therapeutic process.
c. Second Chances Program. PEER Services is partnering with TASC (Treatment
 Alternatives for Safe Communities) to identify people in need of treatment at the Cook
 County Courthouse and create a warm pathway to treatment at PEER, including
 transportation from the Courthouse to PEER.
d. The Evanston Living Room. PEER Services is a partner in the Evanston Living Room, a
 program that provides a comfortable, supportive environment for adults experiencing
 psychiatric crises, which will open in early 2024.
e. Onsite Early Intervention programming at area high schools. PEER counselors will work
 onsite at four Chicago and suburban high schools this school year to support students
 individually and in groups. PEER will also runs an early intervention program that includes
 adolescents with their parents at one of the high schools, and provides Early Intervention
 workshops for students at several other high schools.

Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)
 The Children’s Advocacy Center of North and Northwest Cook County (CAC) request funds to support mental
 health counseling services, specifically trauma therapy, for child victims or witnesses of violent crime. Following
 a CAC Forensic Interview during an active criminal investigation, children ages 6-17 are assessed for symptoms
 of general and sexual trauma through formal screening. Children who score in clinical range demonstrating
 acute distress or post-traumatic stress disorder are determined in need of specialized trauma therapy services
 with a qualified therapist. The CAC has in-house therapists to provide expert services. Outside referrals are
 accepted from DCFS, law enforcement, or other community agencies if a child meets program criteria, including
 the exposure to a violent, traumatic event and symptoms. Each child is assigned a therapist who conducts a
 detailed biopsychosocial assessment to assist with individual treatment planning. Treatment is offered for free to
 all clients despite the ability to pay and extends to 20 sessions. Clients may continue treatment beyond 20
 sessions following a collaborative utilization review process within the clinical (mental health) team. Non-
 offending caregivers receive support as their child receives trauma therapy services, including case
 management and psychoeducation. Occasionally, group therapy is offered for parents.


2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?
 CAC received Skokie CDBG funds in 2022. CAC currently receives CDBG funds from Schaumburg, Mount
 Prospect, Arlington Heights, and Palatine. CAC received CDBG funds from Cook County in the past.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.

 proposed construction/rehabilitation project.

 Cost and Design Assistance Estimates
 All projects must conform to Village of Skokie codes and ordinances. Buildings must conform to
 zoning and property standards to be considered for funding.
 Projects may be subject to Federal Labor Standards and Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages, which
 should be taken into account when estimating the project costs. Three cost estimates from
 knowledgeable contractors are encouraged to help you make an informed decision and keep your
 organization’s funding match as close to 25% as possible. Ask the contractors to make
 recommendations to provide additional short-term construction and/or long-term maintenance cost
 savings. Review the estimates, select a project cost, add a minimum 10% contingency, add a
 minimum $1,500 for possible lead-based paint and/or asbestos testing and disposal activities, and
 then add the total amount to the total project cost on the Application Summary Sheet. An official
 Request for Bid Proposals will be required for each grantee after May 1, 2020.

Skokie Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program


All items must be addressed to receive any consideration for funding.

A. Program
1. Project Description
 Describe the program for which funds are requested, including the purpose, clientele, duration, and goals.
 Explain any new or increased levels of service of the program. If the project has several components, please
 prioritize the key elements of the proposal. (400 words or less)

 North Shore Senior Center (NSSC) is seeking support for case management, supportive
 counseling, and services for older adults living in Skokie.

 NSSC is dedicated to providing necessary services to any older adult in Skokie who needs
 them. Whether through care coordination, support groups, case management, or other
 services, the goal of all NSSC programs is for older adults to live with dignity, autonomy, and
 well-being. In FY2023, NSSC connected with 2,490 Skokie residents, more than any other
 community in NSSC’s service area, through our Senior and Family Services department.
 This includes a 12% increase from the previous fiscal year in the number of Skokie residents
 served using CDBG funds via case management, as shown in the table below. Through all
 SFS services, in the past fiscal year NSSC has invested over $562,000 in caring for older
 adults in Skokie, based on the organization’s average cost per person served.

 The majority of older adults NSSC serves are low income and need support and resources
 to maintain their independence; assistance maintaining their financial security or their
 access to public benefits; and/or need help in order to preserve or improve their health and
 well-being. In fact, 74% of the older adults served through NSSC’s social service programs
 are low income.

 Older adults who receive support through NSSC have a wide range of needs, including
 inadequate nutrition, lack of access to medical benefits, and an inability to provide for the full
 range of their activities of daily living. NSSC’s programs help older adults to avoid isolation
 and to navigate the challenge of remaining in their homes. NSSC specializes in providing
 person-centered programs and services for all older adults, offering a full range of
 opportunities supporting healthy aging to them and their families with community-based
 services. One of NSSC’s core values is “Embrace Diversity,” which is achieved by providing
 services to adults of all races, ethnicities, religious traditions and spiritual practices, genders
 and sexual orientations.

 As the only state-approved provider of the Community Care Program for the Village of
 Skokie, thousands of older adults are able to live safer, healthier, and more enriching lives
 because of NSSC’s services. NSSC care coordinators determine older adults’ needs


NSSC_24-25 Skokie CDBG_Final 4
 through the state-required Comprehensive Needs Assessment. More information about this
 program can be found below Section B Question 5.



2. Previous CDBG Funding
 Has your organization received CDBG funds before? If so, what municipalities have you worked with (including
 Skokie)?

 NSSC has received CDBG funding from the Village of Skokie and the City of Evanston.


3. Will any funds be used for research and development?
 If so, please specify how funds will be used.

 No.




NSSC_24-25 Skokie CDBG_Final 5
B. Service Area
1. Describe your agency’s service area, listing any municipalities served.

 NSSC provides social services in four Cook County townships: New Trier, Maine, Northfield,
 and Niles as well as the City of Evanston.


2. Does this program serve residents of the Village of Skokie?

 Yes.


3. Describe any additional criteria for your program.

 NSSC Senior and Family Services are available to any older adult aged 60 or older. Some
 community resources to which NSSC links older adults have specific age, income, asset, or
 other eligibility criteria. NSSC utilizes federal guidelines established on the National Aging
 Program Information System (NAPIS) to determine income eligiblity.

 Many services are available at no cost, while others have set fees or charge according to a
 person's ability to pay. Participants are informed of the various requirements in advance
 and, if they are in need, funds may be obtained to help defray the costs. The target
 population for all of NSSC’s programs and services is older adults and/or their families in
 need of support.


4. What facilities, services, or programs are operated in Skokie?

 NSSC Care Coordinators provide care to Skokie residents through visits in their homes.
 These services, which are tailored to individuals’ needs, are designed to help older Skokie
 residents navigate the challenge of remaining in their homes, avoiding isolation and
 providing opportunities for socialization.

 Skokie Hospital hosts NSSC Choices for Care Program staff, who assess appropriate level
 of care for patients at discharge. This program is designed to ensure that individuals
 planning to enter a nursing home actually need that level of care. This program also
 explores alternative community resources and options so an informed decision can be
 made.

 NSSC also holds scheduled benefits enrollment events at Skokie Library. NSSC staff and
 volunteers assist residents with enrollment in SHIP (Senior Health Insurance Program) and
 LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program), which reduce expenses and cost
 of living for low-income older adults, supporting their ability to stay in their homes.

 NSSC’s caregiver and hearing loss support groups meet virtually, providing flexibility for
 participants to access these programs in their home.


5. Are there other agencies in the same service area that provide the same service? If so, what agency or
 agencies provide(s) similar services?

NSSC_24-25 Skokie CDBG_Final 6
 No. North Shore Senior Center is the only organization designated by the Illinois
 Department on Aging as a Care Coordination Unit (CCU) under its Community Care
 Program for the Village of Skokie. CCUs have designated areas and do not overlap.
 Therefore, NSSC is the only agency that can administer the Illinois Department on Aging
 Statewide Comprehensive Needs Assessment. This assessment, administered by NSSC’s
 care coordinators, evaluates a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living, mental
 status, medical conditions, nutritional status, social support system, access to transportation,
 spiritual support, as well as financial and legal needs. These assessments are an integral
 part of determining and setting up the needed services for Skokie seniors. For example, if
 an older adult is having trouble meeting their nutritional needs, they might be connected with
 SNAP benefits, food pantries, and/or home-delivered meals. The need for support extends
 beyond the state-funded services, however. NSSC's highly trained staff continue to provide
 support, resources, and assistance outside of the prescriptive constraints of the Community
 Care Program.

 Other community organizations do provide SHIP and LIHEAP assistance.

 NOTE: Household income is the total income of all household members 17 years old or older who contribute to the household. The
 extremely low, very low, and low income limits are based on Median Family Income, in which a householder has one or more
 other persons living in the same household who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption.



3. How will you meet your CDBG goals for the Skokie residents identified above?

 NSSC will continue to identify older Skokie adults and their families who need support in
 order to remain in their home and in their community. A care coordinator will complete a
 needs assessment. The assessment helps develop the person-centered care plan, which
 will provide programs and services to help older Skokie residents remain independent. For
 older adults with an already established care plan, the plan will be updated and revised as
 needed to ensure they continue to receive the appropriate level of services. NSSC provides
 case management and support beyond the constraints of state-supported CCU care.

NSSC_24-25 Skokie CDBG_Final 8
 Evaluation of department programs is conducted at least once annually. Separate goals and
 indicators are established for the different social service programs. Success in meeting
 these goals is measured by: the number of people served; a review of cases to verify that
 individual needs were met; analyzing satisfaction surveys; and internal audits from outside
 evaluators such as AgeOptions and the State of Illinois.


4. If you receive CDBG funds, how many additional Skokie residents could you serve?

 NSSC has provided critical services case management for many years to older adults and
 their families in Skokie. As with many social services that were negatively impacted during
 the pandemic, demand has begun to increase in earnest. This is evidenced in part by a 12%
 increase in Skokie residents receiving CDBG-funded case management between FY22 and
 FY23. NSSC expects the number of older adults in need of our programs and services to
 continue to grow. In line with this expected growth and allocated funding, NSSC will
 continue its outreach to older adults and their families to ensure their needs are being met
 through our services.

G. Performance Measurement Systems
1. Project Objectives
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed objectives.
 (The selection should reflect the purpose of your agency’s proposed program.)

 Creating a Suitable Living Environment
 This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by
 low//moderate-income persons, from physical problems with their environment, such as poor quality
 infrastructure, to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. Includes
 activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals, by addressing issues in their
 living environment.
 Providing Decent Housing
 This objective focuses on housing activities whose purpose is to meet individual family or community
 housing needs. It does not include programs where housing is an element of a larger effort to make
 community-wide improvements, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable
 Living Environments.
 Creating Economic Opportunities
 This objective applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job
 creation.

2. Project Outcomes
 Please check one of the following to identify your agency’s proposed outcomes.
 (The selection should reflect the result your agency would like to accomplish.)

 Availability/Accessibility
 This outcome applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities,
 housing, or shelter available or accessible to low/moderate-income people, including persons with
 disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the
 basics of daily living available and accessible to low/moderate-income people where they live.
 Affordability
 This outcome applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low/moderate-income
 people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or
 services such as transportation or day care. Affordability is an appropriate objective whenever an activity is
 lowering the cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a
 low-income household. Example #1: A low interest loan program might make loans available to
 low/moderate-income microenterprise businesses at 1% interest, which is far below the market rate. This
 program lowers the cost of the loan, enabling entrepreneurs to start businesses. As a result, the program
 makes financing more affordable. Example #2: A subsidized day care program that provides services to
 low/moderate-income persons/families at lower cost than unsubsidized day care.
 Sustainability
 This outcome applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to
 make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low/moderate-income or by removing or
 eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or
 neighborhoods.
