SUBJECT: 2022 Block Party of the Year Winners

At the February 27, 2023 Human Relations Commission meeting, the commissioners reviewed
applications for the 2022 Block Party of the Year Awards, a process which recognizes the efforts of
community members to build relationships with their neighbors and promotes quality of life for the
whole community. Winners will receive a certificate and have a sign installed on their blocks that denote
the recognition of this award.

Last year, 85 block parties were organized throughout our Skokie community. Twenty-three (23) of
those block parties applied for the Block Party of the Year Award. Upon reviewing the applications for
the Block Party of the Year Award, the Human Relations Commission was impressed by the creativity
and themes among our Skokie neighbors. The following three block parties were selected by the Human
Relations Commission to be awarded the 2022 Block Party of the Year Awards:

8300 Block of Kolmar Ave (Madison St to Main St.)
This block party held on August 20 received the most votes from the Human Relations commissioners.
This block party had an island theme and a TON of activities. The party started with a ribbon cutting
ceremony and included a Water Balloon Toss, Basketball, Badminton, Kiddie Pools, Bags, Face Painting,
Bike Decorating, a Lay Relay, Limbo, a Bicycle Parade, Pinata, Tug of War, Hula Music/Dancing, a kid’s
movie and a visit from the Kolmar Kreamery Ice Cream Truck! To round off the night the one and only
“Curtis” grilled late-night cheeseburgers, a Kolmar block party tradition!

George and Park “George-A-Palooza” (George Ave & Park Ave)
This was their third annual outdoor concert with five (5) bands and was held on October 1. T-Shirts
were made to commemorate the event and trees were lit with professional lighting for a wonderful
nighttime effect. The event included games such as volleyball and bags.

8000-8100 Blocks of Lowell Ave (Oakton to Keeney)
This block party held on July 9 had both kids and adult activities. Activities included a Donut Eating
Contest, Bubble Gum Blowing Contest, Water Balloon Toss, Egg on a Spoon, Temporary Tattoos, Bags,

SUBJECT: MANAGER'S REPORT
 BOARD MEETING OF MONDAY, APRIL 17,2023


* A. Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Equipment Purchase - Air One
 Equipment Inc.. South Elain, IL - $787,869.
 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) provide clean breathing air to
 firefighters when operating in an immediately dangerous to life and health
 environment. Pricing for the subject items were obtained competitively through the
 Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) Joint Government Purchasing Program.
 The Village is an active member of the HGAC and has purchased equipment
 through the program in the past. Due to a pending manufacturer's 5% price
 increase on May 1, 2023, staff is seeking approval of the purchase at this time in
 order to save approximately $39,000. It is staff's recommendation that a contract
 for the purchase of 72 SCBA units and associated hardware and equipment be
 awarded to Air One Equipment Inc. in the amount of $787,869. $372,081.81 in
 funding is provided by the FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant Award. I concur
 with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.

* B. 5" Sidewalk/Curb & Gutter/PCC Patching/New Sidewalk - Schroeder and
 Schroeder, Inc. Skokie. Illinois -$624,168.43.
 This project will include the removal and replacement of intermittent sections of
 seriously deteriorated sidewalk in conjunction with the Village of Skokie's 50/50
 replacement criteria and annual cost share program, which is funded by Motor Fuel
 Tax revenue. Approximately 39,000 square feet of existing and new sidewalk will
 be replaced and approximately 1,200 lineal feet of defective curb and gutter and
 630 square yards of pavement patching is also scheduled for replacement with this
 construction project. Schroeder and Schroeder, Inc. was the lowest responsive and
 responsible bidder, and they are pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of
 Transportation for this type of work. I concur with staff's recommendation that a
 contract in the amount of $624,168.43 be awarded to Schroeder and Schroeder,
 Inc. Mayor and Board approval is respectfully requested.

* C. Resolution for Extension of Time for Permit Submittal for Under Touhv LLC.
 Skokie Village Code requires projects to establish permitting activity within six
 months of approval. The mixect-use development located at 5404-5440 Touhy and
 7235 Under is actively engaged in obtaining financing commitments but has
610007
 Return to Agenda




 indicated it is unlikely the commitments will be completed within the required six
 months of Village Board approval. This project's Site Plan approvals expire on May
 7, 2023 and must be extended in order to avoid expiration and cancellation. It is
 staff's recommendation to grant approval to extend the allowed time for Under
 Touhy LLC to submit an application to obtain a building permit. I concur with staff's
 recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval of a
 Resolution granting an extension of time pursuant to Chapter 118-10 of the Village
 Code regarding the site p!an approved for 5404-5440 Touhy Avenue and 7235
 Under Avenue.


* D. 2023 Crack Sealing Services - Patriot Pavement Maintenance, Des Plaines.
 Illinois - $40,000.
 Crack sealing is an inexpensive tool utilized to extend the life of recently
 resurfaced streets. For this project, the Village has budgeted $40,000 in the
 proposed FY23 Capital Improvement Program budget (CIP) using Local Fuel Tax
 funds. In March of 2019 the Village participated in a joint bid for this contract with a
 consortium of communities in order to obtain the best possible pricing. Staff is
 requesting approval for the use of Village funds budgeted for crack sealing for the
 existing multi-community contract. Once approved, Village staff will coordinate this
 work with the contractor and low bidder, Patriot Pavement Maintenance. Patriot
 successfully completed the Village's crack sealing program last year under this
 contract. I concur with staff's recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and
 Board approval.

* E- North Shore Center for the Performina Arts in Skokie Service Door Retrofit
 Via Meridiana Contractors LLC, Darienjllinois - $59,996,67,
 The rear doors at the North Shore Center for Performing Arts in Skokie (NSPCAS)
 used for loading and unloading large equipment behind the stage and main theater
 are in need of replacement. The Fiscal Year 2023 Capital improvement Program
 (CIP) contains funding for the replacement of the doors and frame at the NSCPAS.
 The Village is anticipating the receipt of a State of Illinois grant to fund this project
 and other capita! improvements. It is recommended that a contract for the
 modification and installation of new service doors be awarded to Via Meridiana
 Contractors LLS in the amount of $59,996.67. I concur with staff's recommendation
 and respectfully request Mayor and Board approval.

  F" Request for Executive Session.
 Pursuant to Section 2, Paragraph C.2 of the State of Illinois Open Meetings Act, a
 closed session is requested and to adjourn therefrom.

 Equipment Inc. is HGAC s awarded distributor for MSA brand safety equipment and supplies.

 Comments:
 SeIf-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is one of the most integral parts of the personal
 protective equipment worn by Hrefighters during fire and hazardous material operations. The
 SCBA's provide clean bi-eathing ail- to flrefighters when operating in an immediately dangerous
 to life and health (IDLH) environments and protects the fn'eJdghter from the dangerous by-
 products of combustion and chemical releases.

 The current SCBA units used by the Skokie Fire Department are at the end of their useful service
 life. The SCBA units are becoming less reliable and requiring significant parts and maintenance
 to keep in service. Additionally, the current SCBA units are no longer compliant with National
 Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1981/1982 standards and Occupational Safety and Health
 Association (OSHA) 29- CFR 1910.134 standards that address respiratory protection,

 The equipment purchase would include (72) SCBA units (consisting of an adjustable backpack
 harness, integrated voice amplifier, right shoulder Personal Accountability Signaling System
 (PASS) alarm, solid cover regulator, universal Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) connection, buddy
 breather extender, belt mounted quick fill adapter and pouch, integrated thermal imaging camera,
 and rechargeable battery packs), (151) 30-mmute air cylinders, (17) 60-mmute air bottles, (140)
MSA 01 personal facepieces, (40) APR/CBRN facepiece adapters, (3) 6-bank battciy charging
stations, (18) spare rechargeable batteries, (4) RIT kit upgrades, (3) 01 RIT packs with extended
quick fill hose, (4) suppJied air fittings for ladder truck connections, (3) quick connect fill station
adapters, and (14) quick connectors for air tools/rescue bags/supplied air system. The equipment
would be purchased with the rechargeable bafteiy option to support sustainability effoits, carries
a 15-year parts replacement warranty, and includes in-service training for the fire department
members by an MSA representative.

cost below the bid price is made possible by reducing quantities at certain street patching locations.


Comments
The work being performed under this contract includes the removal and replacement of intermittent
sections of seriously deteriorated sidewalk in accordance with the Village's established 50/50
replacement criteria and the annual cost share program is funded by Motor Fuel Tax revenue. This
project also includes the replacement of broken curb and gutter and includes minor concrete street
patching. The project will focus on sidewalk between Howard Street and Oakton Street. In addition,
the repair of the concrete alley adjacent to Middleton School was included in the project this year.
This is a mutually beneficial intergovernmental effort. Middleton School has agreed to pay for half
of the alley repairs. An IGA will be prepared at a future date.


It is anticipated that approximately 39,000 square feet of existing and new sidewalk will be
included, approximately 1,200 lineal feet of defective curb and gutter, and approximately 630
square yards of deteriorated concrete pavement.


Schroeder and Schroeder Inc. is pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of Transportation for this
type of concrete work, and they have successfully performed this type of work for the Village in
previous years.

SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF TIME FOR PERMIT SUBMITTAL FOR LINDER
 TOUHY LLC

Request:
Staff requests that the Village Board grant approval to extend the allowed time for Linder Touhy
LLC to submit an application to obtain a building permit for the approved project associated with
Ordinance 2022-23P, "Site Plan Approval, Mixed Use Development, 5404-5440 Touhy Avenue
and 7235 Linder". This project, a mixed-use development at located at 5404-5440 Touhy and
7235 Linder, includes 494 apartment units, ground floor commercial space, and 980 parking
spaces. As noted in the attachment from the Development Team, the project's developer is
actively engaged in obtaining financing commitments but has indicated it is unlikely the
commitments will be completed within the required six months of Village Board approval.
Village Code requires projects to establish permitting activity within six months of approval.

Background:
The proposed project was approved by the Village Board in November 2022. Per the Village's
Zoning Code, Section 118-10:
 "Expiration and cancellation. Each final action granted by the Commission, ZBA, or
 Village Board expires after 180 days from the passage of ordinance or approval of the
 final decision by the granting body if building permits have not been submitted, work is
 undertaken, or such use or activity is not established, unless a different time of issuance
 is allowed in the ordinance or decision, or unless an extension is granted by the
 granting body prior to expiration."


This project's Site Plan approvals expire on May 7, 2023 and must be extended in order to avoid
expiration and cancellation. The ordinances associated with the zoning map amendment
(Ordinance 2022-22P) and Subdivision with Dedication (Ordinance 2022-24P) do not expire as
they are not related to building permit activity.

 Re: 5404-5440 Touhy " Under Touhy LLC Development

Dear John, Johanna, and Michael:

 As you are aware, I represent Under Touhy LLC, the Developer of the property
commonly known as 5404-5440 Touhy and 7235 Under On November 7, 2022, the
Village rezoned the property into the B4 Regional Mixed-Use Shopping District. On the
same night, the Village adopted an Ordinance granting site plan approval for the
construction of a mixed use development on the property. We are aware that, under
Section 118-10 of the Village Zoning Code, the site plan approval may expire if certain
activity or work is not undertaken within 180 days after adoption. While the expiration date
in this matter will not occur for several months (May 7, 2023), we want to advise the
Village sufficiently in advance of that date that, in light of the present economic conditions,
including the uncertain financial and lending markets, and increasing interest rates, it is
highly unlikely that Under Touhy LLC wi!l have sufficient financing commitments in place
to be in a position to puil building permits for construction prior to scheduled date.

 Please be assured that Under Touhy LLC remains very committed to this
development and desirous of proceeding with construction as soon as it becomes
financially feasible once again. Therefore, we respectfully request that the Village Board
exercise its authority in Section 118-10 and grant a 12 month extension from the initiai
date of May 7, 2023. We are hopeful that this will provide sufficient time to allow us to

 April 17, 2023 - Village ofSkokie Board Meeting
 2023 Crack Sealing Services



Background
Crack sealing is an inexpensive tool used to help extend the life of recently resurfaced streets. The
Village participated in a joint bid with a consortium of eight communities. Bids were opened on
March 12, 2019 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. A total of three bids were opened. The low bidder
is determined by the price per pound ofsealant material. All the labor and machinery needed to
perform the crack sealing is included in the per pound price. The original bid covered 2019,2020
and 2021. The price per pound for the additional two years was also part of the original contract.
The consortium had the option to renew or rebid based on the contractor's performance. In
addition, the consortium has the option to extend hvo, one year contracts beyond the original three
year term.


Budget
The Village has budgeted $40,000 in the FY23 Capital Improvement Program using Local Fuel
Tax funds. This amount will translate into over 100,000 feet of crack maintenance. We are able to
take advantage of a much more competitive bid price for this type of work by participating in this
joint bid.

Recommendation
It is recommended that the Village Board approve the use of Village funds budgeted for crack
sealing for a one year extension per the original bid. Once approved. Village staff will coordinate
this work with the contractor, Patriot Pavement Maintenance located out ofDes Flames, Illinois.


Comments
The crack sealing methods and materials specified by the contract are in accordance with the
current IDOT standards. Patriot successfully completed the Village's crack sealing program the
last three years under this contract and the renewal price supports having them once again complete
the Village program under this contract. This project typically lasts one week.

The Village will monitor the performance of the work.

Chester,


 We are very excited about the upcoming 2023 crack filling season.
We have finally reached our goal of providing 90-95% dust free option for the municipalities that
would like to take advantage of the new process.
Patriot has been developing this propriety system for the last four years and we are very pleased with
our results.

 Dust complaints have always been the biggest issue while performing the crack fill process.
Resident complaints are at an all-time high due to the high number of people working from home.
We noticed this new trend the very first year of COVID. Unfortunately/ Patriot employees have had
a record number of aggressive confrontations with residents since they have been working from
home. Most people have not been home to observe the process in the past. Many residents come
running out and consistently try to stop/ question/ and reprimand the crews for doing their job.
We are confident by capturing the dust we will reduce the number of complaints and requests for
car washes that inundate the village. Our new dustless process will substantially reduce the negative
interactions between the residents and PPM employees while working in your towns.
 A second option that we are able to provide to the MPI this season is a mastic option which is used
in cracks over 2" in width/ not able to be filled with the standard crack fill material presently specified.
Potholes/ rutting/ and alli^atored areas in asphalt and concrete can be repaired with the mastic as well.
Patriot will gladly do a demonstration for the towns that are interested.
The cost per pound for mastic will be $3.95 per pound installed.
 The price for the standard crack fill process is $1.36 per pound and sweeping will be $120.00 per
hour. Fiber remains at $1.39 per pound.
The new propriety dustless process will be $1.62 per pound which is $.04-$.08 per pound cheaper
than the DuPage County MPI Project that is not dustless. Sweeping is included in the dustless
operation as well.
 Please let us know which option and how many pounds your town will need for this year s
program.

TO: John T. Lockerby, Village Manager


FROM: /
 Michael Alelcsic, Assistant Finance Director


DATE: April 6, 2023

SUBJECT: North Shore Center for the Performing Arts (NSCPA)
 Service Door Retrofit - (Agenda Item)


Background:
The NSCPA has a large service door (two doors at one opening) located at the rear of the
building on the southeast comer. The doors are used for loading and unloading
equipment directly behind the stage in the main theater. The doors are badly rusted and
the concrete around the door frames is crumbling.


The FY23 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) contains funding for the replacement of
the doors and frame, and for enlarging the doorway to allow for easier loading and
unloading of larger equipment and stage props. The Village is anticipating the receipt of
a State of Illinois grant to fund this project and other capital improvements.


Bids for the above referenced project were publicly solicited and two bids were received.
However, one bid had to be disqualified due to the tardiness of the submission.



Tabulation:
Via Meridiana Contractors LLC., Darien, IL. $59,996.67


Recommendation:
It is recommended that a contract for the modification and installation of new service
doors be awarded to Via Meridiana Contractors LLC. in the amount $59,996.67. The
Village is currently working with Via Meridiana Contractors on the NSCPA Canopy
Improvements Project.


Comments:
Work under this contract will include the removal of the existing doors, frame, concrete
stairs, landing and railings. The opening will be saw cut and enlarged down to the
parking lot level. Existing electrical interior conduit runs will be removed and
reconfigured to allow for the larger opening. A new factory painted commercial hollow
metal frame door assembly and hardware will be installed, along with a new concrete
apron.

DATE: April 12,2023

SUBJECT: April 17, 2023 Corporation Counsel's Report

*A. Ordinance. Site Plan Approval, 2023-01 P, 8610 Niles Center Road

 Item A is on the consent agenda for second reading and adoption. The first reading was on
 March 20, 2023.

This Ordinance grants site plan approval for a demonstration project planned development to be
located at 8610 Niles Center Road, Skokie, in an R4 Multifamily Residential district. The property
is 82,988± SF (1.9 acres) with frontage on Niles Center Road, Conrad, and Greenleaf Streets.
Additionally, it is adjacent to the CTA Yellow line. The multifamily residential space is consistent
with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, the Dempster-Skokie Station Area Plan, and zoning
for the site. The building will follow Skokie's bird strike mitigation guidelines and be designed and
constructed to meet the Green Building Initiatives requirements and protocols for a Green Globe
certification.

B. Memorandum, Proposal for early intervention in Hate Crimes. A Program to
 Identify and Assess Data of Bias and Hate Incidents as an Indicator of Future
 Hate Crimes

This Intervention Program has been developed over the past year with input from other sources
and experts throughout the country. The goal of the Intervention Program is to collect data and
information about Bias and Hate Incidents which could not be formally classified as Hate Crimes.
During the past year as part of the vision of the Program the Skokie Police Department has
already collected data regarding Bias or Hate Incidents. The collection of this data will allow us
to identify and assess possible trends and anticipate where in Skokie people might be prone to
such behavior, in order to try to stem the growing tide of Hate Crimes. The Program will be
designed with preemptive measures that are based in education, honest discussion and
sensitizing experiences which will be used to interact with those who might be predisposed to or
could be cajoled into committing a Hate Crime. It is anticipated that this will be a Program that
other municipalities and the State will emulate.

Subject: A PROPOSAL FOR EARLY INTERVENTION IN HATE CRIMES
 A Program to Identify and Assess Data of Bias and Hate Incidents
 as an Indicator of Future Hate Crimes

Introduction
During the past 18 months Corporation Counsel Michael Large and Trustees Khem Khoeun
and Keith Robinson have conducted research using experts throughout the United States and
from this information, present this Program which will use data collected in the Village
concerning Bias and Hate Incidents to anticipate and intervene on potential Hate Crimes. The
Village of Skokie is one of America's most diverse municipalities and the opportunities to
enrich and expand our cultural awareness is a strength of our community and a source of
great pride. This diversity, anchored to common values of equity, respect and goodwill,
enhances our social fabric. We celebrate the abundance it brings, but we also must be aware
and vigilant to actors and actions that tear at our complex community and compromise the
safety of our community.

We must be committed to protect the rights and safety of every person regardless of race,
religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity and expression, but
unless our commitment is rooted in communication, in examination and in action we are not
true to our stated values. This requires that we have learned to hear each other and more
importantly to respond for each other, accepting our reality. This includes building bridges of
understanding, so we are intuitively present when trauma hits our community.

There is little question that the Village of Skokie is on guard and desires to respond quickly to
acts of Hate Crime when they are revealed. The Skokie Police Department has outstanding
training and policies to address Hate Crimes. But can we get ahead of the causes,
influences, jokes, behaviors and public speech which are gateways to Hate Crime? There is
work being developed in other municipalities which use data on Bias or Hate Incidents to




 • See Red Flag Laws

MN1L 4.7.22 v9 609895
 Return to Corp Rpt




anticipate Hate Crimes. Therefore, if we name it and identify it, we should develop a program
to respond to Bias or Hate Incidents as a precursor to Hate Crimes in SkoRie.

First, with great respect to our composition of law enforcement, school and community social
services, community organizations and Village social service resources, we must
acknowledge the following national and region data and authoritative reports. As hard as it
may be to recognize and admit, we must say out loud to each other that:
 • Hate Crimes exist and continue even within our community;
 • Hate Crimes are underreported and unrecognized by all assessments across the
 country and within our community;
 • Hate Crimes are growing in number across the country and within our community; and
 • Hate Crimes are occurring against every segment of protected groups.

Second, that while world and national events, as well as local events cause inexplicable
increases in Hate Crime attacks on different protected classes (race, religion, disability,
sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity expression), it all needs to be identified,
tracked and confronted in totality. The key is to understand that "one form of hate leads to
another." We need a unified and resilient approach to end Hate Crime.

Third, if we can foretell a growing high tide of Hate Crimes in America, we must acknowledge
that it does occur in Skokie. We should put our energy, time and experience to stem the
growing tide of Hate Crimes in America through preemptive measures that are based in
education, honest discussion, sensitizing experiences and interaction with those who might be
predisposed to or could be cajoled into committing a Hate Crime.

The Core Mission of Early Intervention in Hate Crimes
The goal of this Intervention Program is to coltect data and information about incidents and
occurrences that are not only reported formally as Hate Crimes by the Skokie Police
Department, but also any incident reported that has an element of Bias or Hate involved in it.
The collection of this data will allow us to identify and assess possible trends and anticipate
where in Skokie people might be prone to such behavior. This data and information would
then lead to efforts to repair and transform the community behavior through education, honest
discussion, sensitizing experiences and interaction. The data and information would Keep
identities, locations and all private Information private since there were no chargeable
offenses. However, using the data and information, we will offer to intervene or interrupt
harmful behavior with programs using community organizations, mental health professionals
and social workers.

We Know How to Identify a Hate Crime but what do we do with this data?
The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines Hate Crimes as a committed criminal
offense which is motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias(es) against a race,
religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or gender identity. (Source: Federal
Bureau of Investigation crime Data Explorer)

Hate Crime data for the nation is derived from the National Incident-Based Reporting System

to the FBI which collates the data and publishes it. By example, the 2020 FBI Hate Crime
statistics for the nation are based on data received from 15,138 of 18,625 law enforcement
agencies in the country that year. Those occurrences wherein a Hate Crime is not charged
because of established Federal law, are not reported and generally not tracked by most law
enforcement agencies, or assessed. But what if we did begin to track and assess these Bias
or Hate incidents and occurrences?

How Can an Act That Is Not Per Se a Hate Crime Help Us Stop Hate Crimes?
A Bias or Hate Incident is defined as the behavior that is motivated by hate or bias towards a
person's actual or perceived disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion or sexual
orientation but is not criminal in nature. Unfortunately, frequently and even typically, the
reality is that these behaviors are protected by the First Amendment right to freedom of
expression, if this type of behavior escalates to threats or is carried out against a person or
property, or becomes an incitement to commit violence, it would be classified as a Hate
Crime. (Source: Orange County, California 2019 Hate Crimes Report)

Details and data about Bias or Hate Incidents are critical sources of information offering an
overview of trends and specific red flags*, which if analyzed foretell the need for intervention.
By identifying these trends and red flags in hate activity (Bias or Hate Incidents), efforts can
be developed to address hate activity or reduce its impact or even treat what would become
Hate Crimes. By example, data on Bias or Hate Incidents concerning trends, motivation and
geographic hot spots could help to alert schools, social service agencies or Village staff to
bring programming or more intensive sessions to the at-risk community,

How Could the Village of Skokie Undertake a Program to Identify, Assess and Respond
to Hate Incidents?
It is important to distinguish between Hate Crimes, which inherently involve an underlying
criminal act and Bias or Hate Incidents, because while perpetrators and those involved in
Hate Crimes can be identified, individuals who are part of a Bias or Hate Incident must be
kept confidential. Still, the details and general iocation of such occurrences can be more
indusively and robustly reported by the Skokie Police Department to our Human Relations
Commission. The data collected by the Human Relations Commission would be analyzed
with established guidelines and specifications delineated with further input from Professor
Brian Levin and other professionals in the field. We will work with the Human Relations
Commission to identify and offer programs from organizations and education professionals
including to address and intervene in the Bias or Hate incidents indicated in the community.
Many of the individuals and organizations listed below have already offered their resources for
this process and the intention is to expand this list of resources.

The Skokie Police Department began tracking all Bias or Hate related incidents on January 1.
2022, in anticipation of this Program and for its own initiative. Every reported incident that has
any element of bias or hate is flagged for data collection by the Department, tn addition to
being flagged, the incident is reported to the Department Command Staff and is reviewed by
an Investigations Supervisor for assignment to a Detective. The first full years of data has
been compiled and is currently being analyzed and formatted within the Department.

We have afso reached out to Illinois legislators with an expectation that as we develop our
Program further, there can be State financial support for our effort and a State program that
follows our planning as a pilot project that can be applied throughout our State.

Conclusion
As a community, the Village of Skokie has confidence that our diversity, coupled with our
expressed common values of equity, respect and celebration of divergent cultures
strengthens our social tapestry. However, even assuming this is true, unfortunately Hate
Crimes as legally defined occur in the Village with some regularity and the tide nationally and
regionally is rising. We are committed to finding early Programs to intervene or interrupt this
tide. This Project does not focus on the occurrence and ferocity of Hate Crimes, but more so
those reported cases that do not qualify as such and therefore, are considered to be a Bias or
Hate Incident. We suggest, that focusing on Bias or Hate Incidences gives us an early and
better sense of what is occurring in our community and where it is occurring. We p!an to
provide opportunities to address situations in which hate interaction exists and to blunt or stop
Hate Crime that could grow from it.

The Organizations and Individuals with Whom We Consulted
During the past 8 months, Trustees Khem Khoeun and Keith Robinson and the Corporation
Counsel have explored how other communities use Bias and Hate Incident data to create a
program to discourage, deter and interdict Hate Crimes. In this process, we have conferred
with:
1. Jane Charney. Assistant Vice President, Local Government Affairs, Jewish United Fund -
Metropolitan Chicago
2. Miriam Zeidman and Don Gotdenberg, American Defamation League
3. Senator Richard J. Durbin's Office, Rachael Chaiken
4. Sonia Gitl, Judiciary Committee Washington, DC Civil Rights Staff Lawyer
5. Professor Brian Levin, California State University, San Bernardino. He received his law
degree from Stanford He is the author of many books and articles and is the founding director
of the award-winning Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University,
San Bemardino where he has also taught Criminal Justice since 1999. Professor Levin is the
foremost national expert on hate crimes data.

PLAN COMMISSION REPORT
Plan Commission Council Chambers, 7:30 PM, April 17, 2023



To: Mayor and Board of Trustees
From: Paul Luke, Plan Commission Chairperson
Re: Affordable Housing Policy Discussion

In December 2022, the Plan Commission was directed by the Village Board to develop
draft affordable housing policy recommendations for the Board’s review and
consideration. In furtherance of this effort, the Plan Commission convened the
following meetings:
  Thursday, January 19, 2023: Listening Session that included representatives
 from local and regional organizations engaged in affordable housing
 development and advocacy. Presentations from this meeting can be viewed at
 www.skokie.org/housing.
  Thursday, February 2, 2023: Public Hearing #1 summarized ideas and concepts
 associated with affordable housing from the Listening Session for further
 discussion by the Plan Commission and the public.
  Thursday, March 2, 2023: Public Hearing #2 refined goal statements associated
 with the previous affordable housing discussion and included more discussion of
 the potential strategies to accomplish the goals.
  Thursday, March 16, 2023: Final meeting of the Plan Commission to review
 affordable housing materials and draft goals and provide action on a
 recommendation to the Village Board for an affordable housing policy
 recommendation.
The attached materials include the entirety of the Plan Commission’s work on
affordable housing. The Plan Commission’s draft policy recommendation is the
following:
 The Village supports providing affordable and attainable housing for all who
 seek to live in Skokie and remains consistent with the Village’s Consolidated
 Plan (Program Year 2020-24) that the Village will, “Ensure housing is affordable,
 accessible, and sustainable.” The following goal-based framework further
 expands this policy recommendation:
 Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive
 affordable housing in Skokie;
 Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to
 be accessible and sustainable;
 Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available
 to all of Skokie’s workers;

 Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable
 housing; and
 Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand
 fair housing efforts.

The Plan Commission further discussed the development of a potential inclusionary
housing ordinance for the Village. The parameters discussed are enclosed in the
attached materials. The Plan Commission was supportive of the eventual adoption of
an inclusionary housing ordinance to guide and require the inclusion of affordable
housing in new developments.

Village of Skokie Affordable Housing Policy Goals - DRAFT
The Village supports providing affordable and attainable housing for all who seek to live in
Skokie. Skokie’s goals for affordable housing are well-documented in the Village’s
Consolidated Plan (Program Year 2020-24) for Community Development Block Grant funding,
“[E]nsure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable.” The following updated
framework1 builds on the goal statement from the Village’s Consolidated Plan:

Goal A: Study and assess the ongoing supply and demand for inclusive affordable housing in
 Skokie.
Goal B: Preserve, protect, and improve Skokie’s existing affordable housing to be accessible
 and sustainable;
Goal C: Reduce “jobs/housing mismatch” and ensure that housing is available to all of
 Skokie’s workers;
Goal D: Create new opportunities to increase Skokie’s supply of affordable housing; and
Goal E: Support local and region-wide partner efforts to promote and expand fair housing
 efforts.

GOAL A: STUDY, ASSESS, AND REPORT ON THE ONGOING SUPPLY AND
DEMAND FOR INCLUSIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN SKOKIE
To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:

  Study how Skokie’s affordable housing changes over time. Understanding Skokie’s
 affordable housing needs, changing demographic profile, and available housing stock is
 an important component of affordable housing policy.

  Update the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. The Village’s Comprehensive Plan is a key
 document that guides and informs the Village’s policies and work on numerous items
 associated with housing.

  Monitor Best Practices and Work with Regional Housing Experts. There are many
 resources to support new ideas and innovative practices for supporting affordable
 housing. Based on Skokie’s demographic profile and housing stock, Regional Housing
 Solutions has identified a series of strategies and recommended opportunities for
 enhancing and increasing the availability of affordable housing in Skokie. Several of the
 strategies (like municipal rehabilitation programs) identified in this document are
 suggested through this tool.

  Report on affordable housing work. Provide regular information on progress to
 reaching affordable housing goals and strategies. Utilize information to further educate
 the public on the importance and benefits of affordable housing in the community and
 regional work.



1 Previous framework for affordable housing goals presented funding as a goal. This is now a potential

opportunity area for implementing the goals.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 4
 Return to top of Memo




GOAL B: PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND IMPROVE SKOKIE’S EXISTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
This goal focuses on investment in existing units with attention to make sure units are safe,
sustainable, and accessible. To implement this goal, the following options could be considered:

  Bolster Existing Repair Programs. An emerging component of affordable housing
 policy is to support home repair programs that assist in keeping residents (particularly
 older populations) in their homes and reduce the high costs created from deferred
 maintenance. They also can help people “age in place” through making parts of their
 home safer and accessible for older adults or people with disabilities. Additionally, these
 maintenance and repair programs can focus on aspects of sustainability – helping
 weatherize homes and reduce energy costs, which often can significantly contribute to
 housing costs. A recent Chicago Tribune Op-Ed highlighted the need for housing
 repair/rehabilitation programs as an alternative to home ownership programs. These
 programs preserve the housing stock and ensure that existing housing is available for
 future generations.




 DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies has collected a wealth of information
 from the US Census and the Cook County Assessor’s office. Based on this snapshot,
 trends in housing type are visible. Skokie’s housing typology has a large portion of
 multi-family housing that are comprised of two- and four-unit structures. These represent
 a unique opportunity to improve smaller-scale housing that supports the neighborhood
 character of Skokie.

  Study Feasibility of Establishing a Skokie Land Trust. According to 2020 Census
 data, the Village of Skokie had approximately 24,067 households with 72.4% of them
 being owner-occupied. The remaining 27.6% were non-owner-occupied (or rental)
 households. Continuing to support pathways to homeownership and ensure that
 moderate-income households have access to homeownership opportunities is important.
 Creating community land trusts in which the land and the housing structure are separated,
 and homebuyers are able to purchase and sell the housing structure without the extra land
 value is a unique opportunity. Additionally, homebuyer classes and financial literacy



VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 5
 Return to top of Memo




 counseling will also help families get on the path to homeownership. Pursuing this
 opportunity is in line with work neighboring communities do to support homeownership
 opportunities.

  Create a residential vacant home registry. Vacant homes are scattered throughout
 Skokie and have the potential to become problematic and a nuisance to the neighborhood.
 They generate complaints (e.g. overgrown vegetation, security issues, potential flooding,
 etc.). As the deferred maintenance on these homes escalates, major building components
 fail and homes are often prospective teardown or rendered cost prohibitive to re-occupy.
 The number of vacant housing units has grown slightly over the past 20 years. According
 to analysis by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the percentage of Skokie’s
 vacant housing units in 2000 was 2%; based on information from the 2020 Census, this
 has grown to 6.8%.2 Study the feasibility of adding a fee to buildings that qualify to be
 considered as vacant (not actively marketed and not occupied by people).

  Code Enforcement of Rental Units. While rental properties represent 27.6% of the
 total housing population, they are a key component of the Village’s housing landscape
 and are often concentrated in areas of the community. The Village has established
 additional monitors to support rental housing, but the Village could explore new avenues
 of working with rental property owners to improve the housing stock.

GOAL C: REDUCE “JOBS/HOUSING MISMATCH” AND ENSURE THAT HOUSING
IS AVAILABLE TO ALL OF SKOKIE’S WORKER

The importance of making sure that good jobs are located near housing and housing is located
near job centers has been an important cornerstone of workforce development and housing
policy for decades. The spatial relationship to job seekers to where jobs are available is a
function of both available job sites near residential areas, adding housing units near employment
centers, and accessible transportation options. To implement this goal, the following could be
considered:

  Work with Major Employers to Understand Skokie’s Jobs/Housing Mismatch.
 Understanding where workers in Skokie live is an opportunity to examine how new
 housing might be made more attractive for workers (e.g. size of units, affordability levels,
 etc.). It also is an opportunity to work with employers to help them locate more workers
 locally in Skokie.

GOAL D: CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO INCREASE SKOKIE’S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SUPPLY
Building on the work existing supply of Skokie’s affordable housing, new opportunities to create
new affordable housing represent an opportunity to create mixed income communities
throughout Skokie’s neighborhoods. To implement this goal, the following options could be
considered:

VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 6
 Return to top of Memo




  Establish an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. An Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
 will require certain new developments to include affordable housing. It is important to
 strike a balance between encouraging new development, while also bringing new
 affordable development to Skokie. Concepts range from requiring on-site units within
 new developments to paying a fee in lieu of providing on-site units at a development.
 Two attachments are related to this strategy; the first include discussion of potential
 parameters for an inclusionary housing ordinance; the second includes a summary of
 inclusionary housing ordinances in neighboring and regional communities and concepts
 for Skokie’s potential ordinance. In summary, eight communities were identified that
 have inclusionary housing ordinances in place and were studied further to determine their
 impact and effectiveness. These communities include Arlington Heights, Deerfield,
 Evanston, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Northbrook, Oak Park and St. Charles.

  Update Zoning Code to Allow Accessory Dwelling Units. Accessory dwelling units
 are “coach houses” or smaller apartments within an existing home or part of a detached
 structure. They can serve as housing for caregivers, extended family members, or be
 leased to help bring new income to properties to keep homes affordable for property
 owners. Approximately one-third of the land use in Skokie is devoted to single-family
 housing units3, the creation of new smaller housing units supports utilizing this land for
 new housing in a “landlocked” community.

  Affordable Housing Demolition Fee. The demolition of homes or significant removal
 of housing results in fewer homes available to households considered low- to moderate-
 income or “workforce.” Homes that are demolished or significantly demolished and
 rehabilitated are sometimes two to three times more expensive than prior to renovation.

  Underutilized Parcels. The Village of Skokie is an inner-ring suburban community and
 is mostly built out. As a result, the supply of “buildable land” for new housing is
 constrained. One way the Village can assist the private market is to analyze where
 changes in land use makes sense to spur redevelopment. Underutilized lots, particularly
 parking lots, especially near employment centers, transit stations, or in the downtown
 Skokie are opportunities to open up new space to provide housing while eliminating less-
 desirable uses. The adopted Environment and Sustainability Plan, Land Use and Housing
 Section (LH1-2) states an action item of identifying underutilized paved areas and
 incentivizing conversion to sustainable green space or infill development.

GOAL E: SUPPORT LOCAL AND REGION-WIDE PARTNER EFFORTS TO
PROMOTE AND EXPAND FAIR HOUSING EFFORTS
To implement this goal, the following could be considered:

  Promote Cook County’s Residential Tenant-Landlord Ordinance (RTLO). Cook
 County adopted a RTLO that covers all property in suburban Cook County. As a result,
 Skokie is currently covered by this ordinance. The Cook County RTLO outlines the rights

 that both tenants and landlords have in a residential rental agreement. It creates a uniform
 leasing experience in most of Cook County (since the ordinance is similar to Chicago, it is
 nearly completely uniform). A few key highlights include: 1) Creates protections around
 the enforcement and activity around an eviction (i.e. no lockouts); 2) Establishes renter
 rights (i.e. essential services like water, gas, and electricity, compliance with local building
 codes, temperature settings, repair in timely manner, etc.); and 3) Identifies renter
 responsibilities (i.e. keep unit in safe working order, remove garbage, allow reasonable
 access to the unit, use dwelling unit as a dwelling unit, not abandon property, etc.).

 Return to top of Memo




DRAFT PARAMETERS FOR INCLUSIONARY HOUSING ORDINANCE

The following was discussed as potential parameters for inclusion in an inclusionary housing
ordinance (IHO):

Applicability:
  Any new residential units containing 11 or more units;
  For sale or rental residential new construction projects with 11 or more (10 units or less
 are exempt);
  Existing residential properties that are converted from condominiums to rental properties;
 rental properties that are converted to condominiums; other commercial properties that
 are renovated to include 11 or more units of residential housing.

Requirement of on-site units:
The required percentage of on-site units would be at a graduated scale based on the size of the
development (inclusive of all unit types). The total percentage of on-site units that would be
required to be affordable in developments (inclusive of all planned/proposed stages/phases of
development) would be:
  5 percent for developments containing 11-150 units; and
  10 percent for developments containing 151 or more units.

Zoning Relief and Site Plan Approval:
  Consider inclusion of relief for parking, height, and other zoning requirements to
 incentivize additional on-site affordable units (beyond what is required).

Additional Considerations for on-site unit calculations/requirements:
  Affordability levels would be split between 60% of AMI and 80% of AMI;
  Affordable units need to be a mix of all unit types offered throughout the building (i.e. all
 on-site affordable units cannot be 1-bedrooms) and need to be a mix comparable to the
 number of market rate units.
  When percentage is not a whole number, the number is rounded up to the next whole
 (e.g. A building with 126 units would be subject to 5 percent on-site requirement. This is
 6.3 units; the requirement would be 7 units on-site).

Consideration of Fee-in-lieu
  The goal of an inclusionary housing ordinance is to build new affordable housing units.
 A fee-in-lieu is an opportunity to generate funds that could be directed to support
 affordable housing and should be an option to support affordable housing when it is not
 feasible to provide on-site housing.
  Further study of situations that are appropriate for fee-in-lieu should be considered.
  Fee-in-lieu should not be an option for projects of 100 units or more.

Skokie Demographic & Housing Background
Skokie is an economically, racially, and ethnically diverse community. According to the 2020
Census, Skokie is slightly wealthier than the metropolitan region and Cook County. The chart
below from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing highlights the breakdown of income levels
for households.




Racially and ethnically, Skokie’s population is slightly different than the region, with a
significant portion of the population that identifies as Asian (27.4% of the population as
compared to 7.2% and 7.3% of the County and region).




Housing affordability is universally discussed in terms of different levels of income limits called
“area median income”. Different levels differentiate different potential levels or access points to
housing assistance programs. Planetizen has an article that provides additional information on




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 10
 Return to top of Memo




AMI. The chart below breaks down income assumptions based on the incomes for the region
that Skokie is located in. Low- and moderate income households are generally those that fall
between 50%-80% of AMI; affordable workforce housing is generally considered those that fall
between 80% and 120% of AMI. Deeper levels of affordability below 60% and 50% of AMI are
often accompanied with supportive living environments with additional wraparound services for
residents to support living arrangements.




According to the Village’s adopted Consolidated Plan for Program Year 2020-2024 (PY20-24),
the data analysis highlights the households most in need of support and the types of challenges
found in housing units in Skokie (i.e. units were deficient in some manner).
The data indicates that CDBG priorities should focus on households with older adults and
younger children. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Area Family Median Income (HAMFI), approximately 52% of Skokie’s households were low-
/moderate-income. The greatest percentage of low-/moderate-income households is 59% for
household with at least one person 75 years of age or older, followed by 57% of households with




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 11
 Return to top of Memo




one or more children six years of age or younger and 39% of households with at least one person
62 to74 years of age.
The breakdown of age, based on Census data, indicates that the share of the population under 18
years of age is similar to the Cook County and metropolitan region, but Skokie skews a bit older.
Addressing housing challenges for the aging population will be an opportunity area for Skokie in
the coming years and building strategies to support this work will be important.




The Consolidated Plan further highlights challenges associated with housing in Skokie. These
include:
  Housing units lack complete kitchen/plumbing facilities. The estimated number of
 households lacking complete plumbing or kitchen facilities is 75 households, with 50 of
 these households in renter-occupied housing and 25 in owner-occupied housing. All
 households living in these conditions were low- and moderate-income households.
  Housing is overcrowded. According to the Consolidated Plan, those living in 550
 households were residing in overcrowded housing units. Overcrowded was considered 1-
 1.5 people per room.

  Households are cost burdened. This was identified as the greatest problem; there are
 more than 3,200 renter/owner-occupied households with a housing burden greater than
 30% of household income, and greater than 4,000 renter/owner-occupied households with
 a housing burden greater than 50% of household income.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 12
 Return to top of Memo




The previous chart is from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies. It highlights the
nature of the regional issues of households being cost-burdened with housing. Skokie’s share of
all households that are cost-burdened (spending more than 30% of income on housing) is
virtually the same as Cook County and the broader metropolitan region.
The goals highlighted in the next section build on Skokie’s unique demographic profile and the
state of housing in the community. The attention and support for older populations and their
housing needs will need to be a top priority with both the existing older population and the aging
Baby Boomers. A study by IHS, identified the range of housing needs for Cook County’s older
Adults. The following chart highlights the net change in older adult rental household income in
Chicago is likely comparable to broader Cook County and considering Skokie’s adjacency to
Chicago is noteworthy. Significant growth in the 30 percent AMI and less income range was the
most significant, but almost every other income range saw growth in a five-year span as well.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 13
 Return to top of Memo




Preventing deferred maintenance and making sure homes are accessibility will be a or the
cornerstone of work in the Village’s housing rehabilitation programs; expansion to include
renter-occupied housing will further diversify the Village’s ability to help residents. Increasing
the number of affordable units through an inclusionary housing ordinance, providing gap
financing for developers engaged in affordable housing projects, and supporting projects seeking
low-income housing tax credits also will represent opportunities to increase the number of
affordable units in Skokie and reduce the portion of households that are housing-cost burdened.

The Village of Skokie’s Commitment to Affordable Housing
The Village of Skokie, founded in 1888, has a history of supporting affordable and diverse
housing options. Highlights of this work include:

  The Village was one of the first communities in the region to adopt a fair housing
 ordinance in 1967.

  The Village has maintained a self-imposed property tax freeze since 1990. Recognizing
 the relationship that property tax bills play for housing costs, this has kept the Village’s
 portion of the property tax as a percentage of the total tax bill low, which is currently
 around 6% of a typical property tax bill.

  Since 1975, the Village has administered its Community Development Block Grant
 (CDBG) funds to support the rehabilitation of owner-occupied housing for income
 eligible individuals. The Village has funded a housing rehab program since 1983. In
 recent years, the Village’s Consolidated Plan has consistently targeted and allocated
 funding housing rehabilitation.

  In addition to the Housing Chapter of the Adopted Comprehensive Plan (Housing portion
 approved by the Village Board in 2007), the Village adopts a five-year Consolidated Plan
 to guide its funding for annual allocations for its CDBG entitlement. During each new
 process for plan development, a Needs Assessment is conducted through which housing
 availability, characteristics, and affordability are reviewed and documented.

  The Illinois Department of Housing Authority (IHDA) adopted the Affordable Housing
 Planning and Appeals Act (AHPAA) in 2003 to support the development and inclusion of
 moderately-priced housing in all communities across the State. Communities that
 maintain less than 10% of their housing as affordable by IHDA’s metrics must adopt and
 submit an Affordable Housing Plan to IHDA. Skokie has maintained compliance with
 this act since its adoption. At IHDA’s last measure, Skokie had 19.9% of its housing
 considered affordable.

  The Village has long recognized the relationship between housing and transportation for
 households and has advocated for the investment in public transportation options. The
 opening of the Oakton Street Yellow Line Station in 2012 marked significant investment
 ($20 million from all funding partners) in both bringing workers by mass transit into
 Skokie’s downtown and providing area residents access to Chicago’s employment center.
 Further investment and partnership with Pace on its Pulse Line development connects
 Skokie residents and workers to eastern and western destinations via bus rapid transit
 options.

  Congregate Living Facilities are permitted in any residential district and are a special use
 in other districts. This gives flexibility to this housing type. Skokie has forty facilities
 and is recognized as a leader in providing this housing.




VOSDOCS-#609838-v1-Plan_Commission_Report_on_Affordable_Housing 15
 Return to top of Memo




  In 2014, the Village adopted the Residential Rental Unit Standards and Neighborhood
 Integrity Initiative which required the registration of rental units. The ordinance requires
 the inspection of every rental unit prior to being offered to rent and when properties are
 sold; landlords also are also required to complete a Village-offered landlord training
 program.

  The Village’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program, started in 2019, was designed to
 increase investment in qualifying neighborhoods where the Village had made investment
 to public infrastructure such as road, sidewalk, or alley improvements.

  Skokie’s 2020 Commitment to Affordable Housing highlighted several priorities for
 affordable housing that include supporting the Neighborhood Enhancement and Home
 Improvement Program; providing housing financial and emergency assistance to
 households during the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the development
 and implementation of the Neighborhood Integrity Initiative, which requires inspection of
 units and training for landlords.

  Since 2018 the Village has participated in a Regional Assessment of Fair housing, led by
 the Cook County Bureau of Economic Development. This collaboration among CDBG
 entitlement communities, public housing authorities, and not-for-profit organizations
 provides analysis and recommendations to further fair housing efforts in Cook County.

  Impact Behavioral Health broke ground on a 16-unit apartment building in downtown
 Skokie. Funding for the $8 million structure was made possible from the Illinois
 Housing Development Authority (IHDA). The Village, Impact, and the state were able to
 jointly facilitate this project for Impact’s low-income program participants.

  In 2020 and 2023, two new rental housing developments established Skokie as a desired
 location for new apartments (The Boulevard and Highpoint at 8000 North). In 2022,
 building on the success of recent residential development in Skokie, two projects under
 consideration opted to include 5% of units at levels affordable to 100% of Area Median
 Incomes (AMI). In total this was 15 more units of affordable housing for the Village in
 new developments. The Village Board in November 2022 directed the Plan Commission
 to engage in additional study and consideration of affordable housing policy
 recommendations. In January, February, and March 2023, the Plan Commission engaged
 in meetings to review strategies, hear from subject matter experts, and formulate
 recommendations for the Village Board.

  The Village has a variety of housing options for residents holding vouchers from the
 Housing Authority of Cook County as well as other units with on-site affordable housing
 through partner organizations and Cook County.

 April 17, 2023, Village Board Meeting and Public Hearing



Overview
Attached is a draft copy of Skokie's CDBG Action Plan for Program Year 2023 (May 1,2023,
through April 30, 2024) to be reviewed at the Monday, April 17, Village Board meeting. Earlier
this month, a draft copy of the plan was made available to the public at
https://www.skokie.org/DocumentCenter/View/l 48/CDBG—Action-Plan-PDF. Approval of the
plan will be requested at the meeting on Monday, April 17.


Background
The term of the five-year Consolidated Plan began May 1, 2020 and will continue through April
30, 2024. The elements of the Consolidated Plan address community issues as they relate to
low/moderate-income residents.


The one-year Action Plan serves as the annual funding application to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for CDBG funding. It includes the Village's strategies
to address community development needs, project and activity descriptions, and certifications
regarding Skokie's eligibility to apply for federal funding. In addition, the Action Plan addresses
the Village's continued efforts to prevent homelessness, aid persons with special needs, enhance
the supply of affordable housing, reduce lead-based paint hazards, enhance social services, and
promote citizen participation in the CDBG process. A draft of the one-year Action Plan was
distributed to the Mayor and Board of Trustees and is attached to this memorandum.


HUD requires the Consolidated and Action Plans of all communities receiving CDBG entitlement
funds.


HUD regulations require that public input to the Action Plan be sought through a legal notice,
making a draft of the plan available to the public, and conducting a public hearing. In addition to
the calendar of CDBG public hearings on the Village's website, the Action Plan legal ad was
published in the Skokie Review, a publication within the Chicago Tribune, on March 13, 2023.
The ad stated the draft plan's availability and described the potential CDBG activities to be funded
in Program Year 2023 and invited public input at a public hearing held at the Board of Trustees
meeting on Monday, April 17. The upcoming CDBG projects and activities were also the subject

 Annual Action
 Plan
 AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
Introduction

The Village of Skokie, Illinois, is located approximately 15 miles north of Downtown Chicago and 12 miles east of
O’Hare International Airport. According to the 2020 United States Census Bureau, Skokie has a population of
66,422.

Skokie covers 10.06 square miles of land and is bordered by Glenview and Wilmette to the north, Evanston to the
east, Lincolnwood and Chicago to the south, and Niles and Morton Grove to the west. A Council-Manager form of
government governs Skokie, which includes a Mayor and a six-member Board of Trustees, elected at-large every
four years, and a professional Village Manager and staff of almost 500 to execute municipal policies and programs
and enforce all codes, ordinances, and regulations. The Village is also served by 17 advisory commissions and
staffed by more than 250 resident volunteers.

The Department of Community Development administers the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). As an entitlement community of over 50,000
people, Skokie receives its annual CDBG funding directly from the Federal Government in the form of a formula
grant. The overall goal of the program is to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic
opportunities, particularly for low/moderate-income persons. CDBG is the only HUD program for which the Village
qualifies for direct funding.

The receipt of CDBG funding is dependent on the completion of, approval of, and adherence to a five-year
Consolidated Plan. The intent of the Consolidated Plan is to assist communities in developing a collaborative
process to establish a unified vision for housing and community development actions. It includes information on the
community’s needs, the housing market, goals and objectives, activity priorities, performance measures, and various
public certifications. It also includes the Village’s first Annual Action Plan relative to the CDBG activities and other
community development efforts for the 2015 Program Year.

The Village of Skokie Consolidated Plan for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) is a five-year plan
for Program Years 2020-2024, commencing on May 1, 2020.

The functions of the Consolidated Plan are to create a planning document that builds upon a participatory process, to
apply for federal funding under HUD’s formula grant programs, to establish strategies to follow while implementing
HUD-funded projects, and to create an Action Plan that provides the basis for annual assessments of the Village’s
performance.
 Return to top of CDBG Memo




The most important function of the Consolidated Plan is to guide the Village in the annual funding allocation process
for the CDBG program. The primary components of the Consolidated Plan are:

 • The Planning Process
 • Needs Assessment
 • Housing Market Analysis
 • Strategic Plan
 • Annual Action Plan

Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan

The Action Plan is designed to guide actions to be taken over a one-year period of time, from May 1, 2023, through
April 30, 2024. It is based on the identified needs in the areas of affordable housing, homelessness, other special
needs, and non-housing community development needs. It is intended to address the three primary goals of the
Housing and Community Development Act: provide decent housing, provide a suitable living environment, and
expand economic opportunities.

Skokie’s goals are to ensure housing is affordable, accessible, and sustainable; improve infrastructure; improve
facilities; provide financial assistance for programs and services; and conduct planning and administration
activities. Program objectives include providing support to homeowners, organizations, and public entities. Program
outcomes include improving facilities and providing services for a better quality of life for low/moderate-income
Skokie residents.

A one-page vision statement with goals and objectives was prepared to succinctly communicate the Village’s plan for
the CDBG program from May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2024, and it is available as an attachment to this executive
summary. In addition, maps for infrastructure and public facilities projects are attached to this section for reference
and discussed in AP-50 Geographic Distribution.

Evaluation of past performance

Since 1975, the Village has successfully administered the CDBG program, resurfaced streets, provided homeowners
with financial opportunities to maintain their homes and sidewalks, and assisted other low/moderate-income
individuals, households, and neighborhoods. There are, however, a number of obstacles to meeting underserved
needs in the Village:

 1. Empirical data. Multiple agencies consulted do not track unmet need in any quantitative way, and many do
 not collate their service statistics in ways that track the municipality of residence, income, racial information,
 or size of household as required by HUD to receive CDBG money or fulfill the requirements of the
 Consolidated Planning process. Some of the needs assessment information and data are based on best
 estimates.
 2. Funding limits. A large amount of the Village’s needs is in the area of public services. The 15% spending
 cap for public services presents a challenge, as service agencies have limited funding options, including the
 after-effects of the State of Illinois budget crisis, compared to other CDBG-eligible programs.
 3. Vacant land. There is limited land available for new housing development.
 4. Cost of housing. Aside from persons receiving housing subsidies, many low-income residents are paying
 in excess of 30% of their household incomes on housing costs.
 Return to top of CDBG Memo




 5. Vacancy rate. The low vacancy rate for both renter- and owner-occupied housing provides for few housing
 choices for low-income persons.
 6. Zoning Allowances. The Village of Skokie Zoning Ordinance has progressive group home and community
 live-in residence provisions; however, there are limited opportunities for the type of dense, multi-family
 housing that may begin to address the housing needs of the low/moderate-income, non-elderly and family
 households.

Many of the construction projects from applicants may take several years to complete as additional time and/or
funding is needed to ensure the projects are done correctly, maximizing the impact of CDBG funds. Additionally,
applicants have expressed concerns about meeting the program year deadlines for project completion due to
limitations on supplies and difficulties finding contractors to complete the work. Any extensions from applicants will be
submitted with a formal request and granted, if possible.

Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process

The Village conducted an extensive consultation process during the five-year Consolidated Plan development to
solicit input from social service agencies, community development organizations, and residents regarding the needs
of the community, the programs and services offered in response to those needs, and the number of clients
benefiting from those programs and services.

Questionnaires, focus group meetings, and online surveys were made available for formal community input, while
newsletter articles and website updates informed the public of the CDBG planning process. In addition, staff
attended several board and commission meetings, which not only gathered input for the development of the plan, but
also provided educational opportunities for these entities to learn more about the CDBG program.

Public comments for the Consolidated and Action Plans were requested at three public hearings held on December
19, 2022, and January 17 and February 6, 2023. A final public hearing was held on April 17, 2023, at which time the
Village Board of Trustees approved the PY23 Action Plan.

The Village conducts a minimum of three public hearings each year relative to the CDBG program, the Consolidated
Plan, and the Action Plan. These hearings include an annual review of CDBG and Consolidated Plan goals and
objectives, a progress report on current CDBG activities, solicitation and receipt of funding proposals, funding
recommendations and allocations, and approval of the plan(s). Hearings are publicized through the Village website
(http://skokie.org/1203), publication of legal notices in a newspaper of local distribution, and articles are written for the
Village’s bi-monthly NewSkokie newsletter, which is distributed to approximately 28,000 addresses in the
Village. Staff will meet with and advise anyone interested in applying for CDBG program funds.

The Action Plan public hearing notice was published in the Skokie Review on March 10, 2023, for loyal readers of
Skokie’s weekly newspaper.

A draft of the Action Plan was made available for public comment at https://www.skokie.org/1203/CDBG-PY23-
Action-Plan---Draft-for-Public for a 30-day period as stipulated by HUD regulations. The plan also reviews the
institutional structure of the Village of Skokie departments, institutions, and agencies involved in the delivery of social
services.
 Return to top of CDBG Memo




Summary of public comments

The Village conducted four discussion forums, prepared four online surveys, attended four citizen advisory
board/commission meetings, and held four public hearings during the preparation of the five-year Consolidated Plan
and the first one-year Action Plan development process. No public comments were received during the draft
Consolidated Plan, or the PY20, PY21, PY22, or PY23 Action Plans, during the official comment periods.

Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them

There is a general community concern regarding the upkeep and maintenance of the Village’s rental housing
supply. The specific building and/or unit maintenance will not be addressed as part of the Village’s CDBG program;
however, the Village’s Residential Rental Unit Standards and Neighborhood Integrity Ordinance, approved in January
2014, will address such needs with other funding sources. Instead, the Village will invest CDBG funding in eligible
neighborhoods with public infrastructure improvements, impacting the neighborhoods at a larger scale.

Economic development issues such as new development and job creation will continue to be a major focus of Village
efforts; however, they are not expected to be the focus of the Village’s CDBG funds.

Summary

According to www.hudexchange.info, the CDBG entitlement program provides annual grants on a formula basis to
entitled communities such as the Village of Skokie to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing,
providing a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low/moderate-income
persons.

The Village of Skokie chooses to focus its CDBG funding on the first two goals, providing decent housing and
providing a suitable living environment. The third goal, expanding economic opportunities, will be primarily
addressed by the Village’s Economic Development Division with other funding sources.

AP-10 Consultation – 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(l)
Introduction

Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public
and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service
agencies (91.215(l))

Over the course of the Consolidated Plan process, Skokie’s Community Development staff consulted with multiple
Village departments and divisions, including the Manager’s Office, Human Services, Public Health, and Engineering,
plus the Building/Zoning/Property Standards, Economic, and Planning Divisions in the Community Development
Department. In addition, summer 2019 focus group topics discussed job creation and training, affordable housing
and housing insecurity, mental health/persons with disabilities, and seniors’ issues and opportunities. other entities
such as the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC), Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County,
Cook County Health Department, and many community service providers. In addition, Skokie residents were
consulted, including the general public and members of the Economic Development Commission, Human Relations
Commission, Commission on Family Services, and the Board of Health.

The focus group meetings served the dual purpose of obtaining information from service organizations and
exchanging information and resources between the participating organizations.

Many of the agencies contacted are also part of the Skokie Interagency Network which meets monthly with staff from
the Health and Human Services Department to discuss issues and strategies relative to the delivery of social
services in the Skokie area. The Interagency Network was founded in 1994 to provide a monthly forum for human
services providers to meet, discuss community needs, and strategize about improving the delivery of services to their
constituents.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless
persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children,
veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The Health and Human Services Department works with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook
County on an as-needed basis to address the needs of homeless persons and persons at risk of homelessness.

In 2014, a Homeless Protocol was established to assist the homeless population with temporary shelter. In addition,
Human Services can be contacted by any sheltered or unsheltered homeless person to find other resources to help
them take the next step(s) toward permanent housing.

Human Services staff members work with the YWCA, Family Promise North Shore, and Connections for the
Homeless in addressing the needs of chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans,
and unaccompanied youth. These organizations work with the Village and the Continuum of Care to ensure that the
needs at each stage of homelessness are addressed.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes
of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for
the operation and administration of HMIS

The Village does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding directly, so Human Services staff members

work with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook County and other advocacy organizations to develop
and maintain policies and procedures to coordinate provision of emergency shelter, street outreach, homeless
prevention, rapid rehousing assistance, and other services.

AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c) (1,2)
Introduction
Per SP-35: The anticipated resources section of the strategic plan chapter describes the expected financial resources
for the duration of the five-year Consolidated Plan. The financial resources listed are not all- encompassing but
illustrate other organizations’ abilities and the Village’s ability to use federal, state, and local funding to address the
priority needs and goals of this plan. The funds are anticipated to be utilized by various regional and local entities that
serve Skokie.

On February 27, 2023 the Program Year (PY) 2023 budget for the Department of Housing and Urban Development was
announced, providing updates on full-year allocations for municipalities who participate in the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) Program. While the Village had previously budgeted to receive around $600,000 for the program year,
this year it was announced that the actual disbursement for the Village of Skokie would actually be $552,656. As this funding
is less than what was received in previous years, less money will be available to our subgrantees and organizations. See
AP-20 for a full breakdown of how the Village of Skokie plans on utilizing the PY2023 grant funding.

In future program years, the Village expects to still receive a high number of applicants for CDBG grant funding. The Village
will continue to accept annual funding applications from any entities that would like to apply, and a selection process will
proceed that emphasizes the Village’s goals and vision.

Table 5 – Expected Resources – Priority Table

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how matching
requirements will be satisfied
Per SP-35: Federal funding, coupled with state, local, and private funds, will enable the Village to serve low/moderate-income residents with the greatest need.
The federal funds will serve either as gap financing for Village projects and programs, or funding matches to improve access to organizations’ programs, projects,
or services. Funding provided through the CDBG program will allow organizations and the Village to meet the needs of some of the community’s most vulnerable
residents. The balance of street resurfacing and sidewalk replacement costs will be funded by the Local Fuel Tax (LFT) fund. The balance of program
administration costs and the Village of Skokie Social Worker position will be funded by the General Fund. The balances of all other projects and activities will be
funded by other sources obtained by the sub-recipients, including other grants, loans, and private donations.

If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Per SP-35: The Village has owned a few vacant properties; however, most have been sold and/or are under contract. Although a portion of these could be used to
address the needs identified in the plan, development costs for market-rate developments have warranted subsidies. The properties are planned for mixed-use or
residential development and are located within walking distance of the Oakton-Skokie CTA Station. There is hope for the potential to provide affordable housing in
mixed-income developments in the future.

Other publicly-owned land includes the public rights-of-way, where street resurfacing and sidewalk replacement projects may occur, improving low/moderate-
income neighborhoods or assisting low/moderate-income households with their shares of public improvement costs.

Discussion
Per SP-35: It would be desirable to develop mixed-income properties with density bonuses and without financial assistance from the Village. The Village may
consider financial assistance, however, if developments that meet the goals and objectives of the Village’s Comprehensive Plan, Sector (“Neighborhood”) Plans,
and Consolidated Plan cannot be realized without such assistance.

AP-35 Projects – 91.220(d)
 Introduction
 The Village has identified the following projects and activities to be implemented during Program Year 2023 to
 achieve the goals of the Consolidated Plan. Please note that the VOS – Home Improvement Program may include a
 carryover of any unused funding from Program Year 2022.

 Table 7 – Project Information

 Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs
 CDBG-funded activities will primarily benefit low/moderate-income persons, households, or neighborhoods. The
 geographically-focused street resurfacing projects will be public infrastructure-related and located in a low/moderate-
 income-eligible Census Block Group. In addition, this year’s 50/50 sidewalk replacement program focus area will be
 bound by Main Street to the north, Oakton Street to the south, and the Village limits to the east and west. Other
 households outside the focus area may participate upon request. Only income-eligible households will qualify for
 funding. Finally, the remaining projects and activities will be Village-wide; however, only income-eligible residents or
 households will qualify for funding.

 Public services priorities were selected through a tier system. Tier 1 organizations are depended on by the Health and
 Human Services Department on a daily basis. Tier 2 organizations are depended on by the Health and Human Services
 Department on a less-frequent basis; however, they provide critical services when needed. Tier 3 organizations provide
 commendable but not critical services, and staff recommends funding these activities this year. HUD continues to
 encourage prioritizing the distribution of CDBG funds, providing more funding to fewer organizations that provide critical
 services to Skokie residents. Tier 4 organizations also provide commendable services; however, there are other
 resources in or near Skokie, or CDBG funding is being prioritized elsewhere.

 The priority needs presented in the Strategic Plan chapter represent the greatest needs that should be addressed by
 the CDBG program. The Village has other needs, and they are expected to be addressed through other resources.

AP-38 Project Summary
Project Summary Information
 Capital Improvements/Housing
 VOS - Home Funding will be used to continue the Village's program of repairing single-family 80,945
 Improvement homes, which began in 1983. The request will enable low/moderate-income
 Program households (less than 80% of area median family income) to be eligible to receive
 grants up to $12,000 to pay for building materials or contractors' services. A grant (in
 lieu of interest payment) for the moderate-income households (50-80% of median
 family income) will continue its trial period. In addition, if a homeowner received
 CDBG funding in the past, fulfilled its contractual obligations with the Village, and
 has remained in the home for an additional 15 years, they could be eligible for
 additional funding as long as the household remains income-eligible. (14A)

 VOS - Funding will be used to further affordable housing in Skokie at a neighborhood level. 80,800
 Neighborhood The expectation is that these funds will be used to facilitate improving existing
 Enhancement housing units that are affordable for low/moderate-income households. Activities
 Program may include exterior improvements for a group of homes on a common block or in
 the same neighborhood. (14A)

 Capital Improvements/Public Infrastructure
 VOS - Street and Funding will be used to resurface Keating Avenue (between Davis and Church), 185,300
 Alley Resurfacing Kilpatrick Avenue (between Davis and Church), Davis Street (between Skokie Blvd.

 street segments are located in Census Tract 8068.02 (Blocks 2009 and 2012) and
 Census Tract 8074 (Blocks 4005 and 4008), which are eligible low/moderate- income
 residential areas. Street and alley resurfacing are a high priority of the Village’s
 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget. (03K)
 VOS - Sidewalk Funding will be used to provide grants to homeowners meeting low/moderate- 2,900
 Replacement income eligibility who are required to participate in the Village’s 50/50 sidewalk
 Program replacement program. Low/moderate-income property owners are able to apply, on
 an individual basis, for CDBG funds to cover their 50% share. A simple application
 form is used, and proof of income status is based on our Home Improvement
 Program guidelines (i.e. most recent federal tax return or proof of current earnings
 and signed affidavit). The focus area will be Main Street to the north, Oakton Street
 to the south, and the Village limits to the east and west. Households in other areas
 of Skokie may participate upon request. (03L)

 Capital Improvements/Public Facilities
  Turning Point Funding will be used for a long-awaited window replacement project for the facility 14,156
 located at 8324 Skokie Blvd. With the support of Skokie's CDBG Program, Turning
 Point plans to replace two of the window units on the west side of the building.
 These large, multi-pane units are old and updating both the panes and frames would
 accomplish the organization's goal of enhancing weather protection, safety, and
 security for the building and many users. (03P)

AP-50 Geographic Distribution – 91.220(f)
 Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority
 concentration) where assistance will be directed
 Approximately 30% of the total $600,000 budget for Program Year 2023 will be dedicated to improving a
 low/moderate-income area benefit-eligible Block Group:

 • Census Tract 8068.02 Block Group 2 (bound by Church Street to the north, Grove Street to the south,
 Skokie Boulevard to the west, and Kolmar Avenue to the east).
 • Census Tract 8074 Block Group 4 (bound by Main Street to the north, Mulford Street to the south, Kenton
 Ave to the west, and Kostner Avenue to the east).

 The rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
 Certain widespread activities or projects are difficult to trace the benefit to specific individuals (limited clientele) who are
 low/moderate-income. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) accounts for this difficulty in 24 CFR 570.208 (a)(1)(ii)
 allowing area-wide benefits to low/moderate-income persons. Under this rule, the activity must occur in the highest
 quartile of Skokie Census Block Groups by the concentration of low/moderate-income persons. The areas are shaded
 and identified in the Low/Moderate-Income Eligible Areas Map provided in section SP-10 Geographic Priorities of the 5-
 year Consolidated Plan. The street resurfacing project for Program Year 2023 is illustrated in the Low-Income Area
 Infrastructure Project Map on the following page. Under this program, deteriorating streets Kilpatrick Avenue, Keating
 Avenue, and Davis Street (with Road Biotics ratings ranging from 3.065 (Kilpatrick) to 3.71 (Davis) out of 5.00, where
 0.00 is best and 5.00 is worst), will be resurfaced in U.S. Census Tract 8068.02, Block Group 2. Additionally, under this
 program, deteriorating street Kolmar Avenue (with Road Biotics rating of 3.89 out of 5.00) will be resurfaced in the U.S.
 Census Tract 8074, Block Group 4. As of April 1, 2019, Skokie is no longer an “exception community”2, as Skokie’s top
 quartile of Census Block Groups exceeds the minimum threshold of 51% to fund public infrastructure improvement
 projects.

 Additionally, the Limited Clientele Projects Map on the page that follows the infrastructure map, identifies the general
 locations of public facility improvements that will benefit a limited clientele. The projects will benefit a specific group of
 beneficiaries rather than all residents of a particular neighborhood or area. Of the subgrantees on the Limited Clientele
 Projects Map, two organizations are based outside of the boundaries of Skokie in neighboring communities but provide
 important services to Skokie residents.

Census Block Groups 8068.02-2 and 8074-4 are eligible to receive CDBG funding for street resurfacing.
Approximately 30% of the total $600,000 budget for Program Year 2023 will be dedicated to improving a

AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
The Village of Skokie’s historic commitment to diversity is the main driver for its affordable housing success. This includes
a diverse economy, diverse housing types, and a diverse community. The commitment is primarily demonstrated by a
long history of planning and zoning decisions that allowed higher density housing developments. Housing is considered
affordable when housing costs are no greater than 30% of household income, particularly for low-income households,
which is 80% of median household gross income. Affordable housing is out of reach in many parts of the Chicagoland
area, largely due to a favoring of single-family homes over multi-family developments. Inner ring suburbs like Skokie are
well-positioned to provide affordable housing opportunities due to the age of our existing housing stock and supply of
multi-family buildings. Provided the Village continues to support inclusive land use policies and protect existing housing
stock, the Village’s higher percentage of affordable housing should continue.

There are several housing initiatives that will be funded during Program Year 2023 to support homeless, non-
homeless, and special-needs residents who need safe and affordable housing. The programs that are expected to
impact most individuals or households are the Home Improvement Program, the Neighborhood Enhancement
Program, and group homes (also known as Community Integrated Living Arrangements, or CILAs).

Discussion
The Village of Skokie is currently enhancing their Affordable Housing policies, which will be more prevalently available
in both the next Annual Action Plan as well as the Consolidated Plan. These policies aim to provide long-range goals
to understand the perspectives of the affordable housing issues and needs for current and prospective Village
residents. Additional methods in future policies include the creation of potential new affordable housing while investing
in existing housing.

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
 Introduction
 The Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) provides low/moderate-income housing services to Village residents
 by operating the 126-unit Armond King Apartments at 9238 Gross Point Road in Skokie and administering the
 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. As of March 2023, which was the latest available data, there were 254
 HCVs in use in Skokie’s three Zip Codes (60076, 60077, and 60203)3.

 Actions planned during the next year to address the needs for public housing
 In fall 2015, the HACC began remodeling the private units, interior common areas, building exterior, and grounds of
 the Armond King Apartments. Multiple units were converted to accommodate disabled and sensory-impaired
 residents, including the conversion of 27 existing units to meet Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). This
 effort was a long-term investment; therefore, there are no plans during the next year to make improvements to public
 housing in Skokie. The Village has

 Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in the management and participate
 in homeownership

 The HACC has a community room, kitchen, and library for the residents to be involved in social, recreational, and/or
 personal enrichment activities. There is a large Russian population, so information is available in English and
 Russian. The on-staff Asset Manager is a resource for the residents as well.

 Housing Choice Voucher Program participants have the opportunity to become future homeowners. Per the HACC’s
 previous website:


 REALIZE THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP
 For most Americans, purchasing a home is the largest single investment they will ever make. Owning a home is a
 way to achieve economic self-sufficiency. When you own and properly maintain your home, you can be sure that
 you and your family will always have a decent, safe and sanitary place to live.

 Your voucher can make owning a home affordable. Prepare now for homeownership: Set up and maintain a
 budget, live within your means, clean up your credit and save regularly.

 GETTING STARTED
 The Homeownership Option is intended for all eligible Housing Choice Voucher Program participants and you
 will receive all pertinent information when you engage our staff.

 If you currently have a Housing Choice Voucher, your dream of homeownership is now within your reach.
 Please contact one of our [Family Self-Sufficiency] FSS and Home Ownership Coordinators … to get started.

The Housing Authority of Cook County is not designated as troubled.

Discussion
The Village researched the homeownership program to understand how the program may benefit Housing Choice
Voucher holders who live in Skokie.

Only active Housing Choice Voucher families are eligible to participate in the homeownership program, as long as
they have completed an initial one-year lease term. Families on the waiting list do not qualify for the program.

In general, the home must be located within the HACC’s jurisdiction. The family may purchase a home in a
jurisdiction other than Cook County, provided the housing authority in the receiving jurisdiction operates a
homeownership program for which the homeownership applicant qualifies.

The HACC provides information about the program to Housing Choice Voucher participants. Interested participants
are invited to attend a homeownership orientation information session to learn about the eligibility
requirements. Eligible participants choose their own real estate agents when the HACC approves them to begin the
home buying process.

The total Housing Choice Voucher count remains the same; however, the “rental” voucher is converted to a
“homeownership” voucher.

The Director of Human Services with the HACC oversees the homeownership program.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction

Village staff and public services providers will assist homeless and other special needs populations as needed.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs

The Village Social Worker and other Human Services, Public Safety, and Public Works personnel will reach out to
unsheltered homeless on an as-needed basis. The Homeless Protocol, established in 2014, will be followed, and
care packages will be made available. Referrals to supporting services will be provided to interested homeless
individuals, couples, and families.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons

The Health and Human Services Department will follow the Homeless Protocol. In addition, any individuals, families,
families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth, including those who are living with
family or friends, will be assisted by the Health and Human Services Department staff to find shelter and support
services that will help them ultimately find permanent housing.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children,
veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and
independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience
homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and
preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again

The Health and Human Services Department will work with the Alliance to End Homelessness in Suburban Cook
County and other services providers to help the homeless population make the transition to permanent housing and
independent living, including shortening the duration of homelessness, facilitating access to affordable housing, and
preventing the recurrence of homelessness.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income
individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems
of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care, and other youth facilities, and
corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address
housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs

The Health and Human Services Department will work with local and regional service providers and local school
districts to address issues such as homelessness prevention and the needs of the special needs population,
including housing, health, social, employment, education, and youth services.

Discussion
Village staff will continue to monitor the homeless and special needs populations on their needs and amend the
Homeless Protocol or other administrative policies when necessary.

AP-75 Barriers to Affordable Housing – 91.220(j)
 Introduction
 The housing market and inventory of conditions in Skokie provide a number of constraints to the provision of
 affordable housing, which include the following:

 1. Availability of Land. There is virtually no land available for new housing development.

 2. Cost of Housing. Aside from persons receiving housing subsidies, many low-income residents are paying
 in excess of what is considered affordable for their income range.

 3. Utilization of Zoning Allowances. The Village of Skokie Zoning Ordinance accommodates increased
 densities for planned developments and has progressive group home and community live-in residence
 provisions; however, cost-effective redevelopment opportunities for the type of dense, multi-family housing
 that may begin to address the housing needs of low/moderate-income households are extremely limited.

 4. Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The Village continues conducting an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH)
 with the Cook County Home Consortium along with neighboring communities. Part of this process included
 coordination with other governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations, reviewing goals to research and
 reduce impediments to fair housing. The group is continuing meetings and activities to finalize the plan. The
 Village is hopeful to have a final document approved during the 2023 program year after integrating the
 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) proposed rule.

 Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to
 affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes,
 fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment

 In July 2015, the Village worked with the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) and an Urban Land Institute (ULI)
 developer panel on the issues and opportunities in the neighborhoods within 2,000 feet of the Oakton-Skokie CTA
 Station, including all or portions of three of the Census Block Groups that have ≥51% low/moderate-income
 residents. The outcome of this effort included goals, objectives, and strategies for reinvesting in Skokie Boulevard
 and the neighborhoods. Issues to consider include:

 Skokie Boulevard
 • Consider workforce or blended affordable/tax credit housing along the Skokie Boulevard corridor to
 encourage multifamily housing
 • Encourage mixed-use developments south of Madison Street, while staying open/receptive to other
 commercial development opportunities.

 Winnebago Park and Tecumseh Park Neighborhoods
 • Encourage the rehabilitation of the 2, 3, and 4-flats, as the housing stock is solid
 • Seek out or solicit developers to acquire multiple apartment buildings and offer a master lease to incoming
 international IS+TP companies. A master lease can accommodate new employees looking for housing near
 work, and this concept will encourage the rehabilitation and upkeep of multiple properties in these
 neighborhoods.

 R5 Transit Area Housing Zoning Regulations
 • Adopt the draft R5 zoning district regulations to increase the allowable density in existing multifamily
 neighborhoods
 Return to top of CDBG Memo




Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.

 Oakton Street Corridor (from CTA Station to Floral Avenue)
 • Focus on attracting multifamily apartment or mixed-use development at each end of the corridor to create
 gateways and a walkable Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) district along Oakton Street. The Crafty
 Beaver site has the greatest redevelopment opportunity in the Downtown area.

 St. Peter School Site (Lincoln Avenue and Niles Center Road)
 • Consider encouraging the archdiocese to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to solicit interest in
 rehabilitating part of the existing school site to be loft-style rental apartments.


Discussion regarding tax policies affecting land, fees, and charges are expected to remain unchanged; however,
these items and policies affecting the return on residential investment may be considered in future program years.

Discussion
The Village will continue to support local organizations in their efforts to maintain or create affordable units for
existing and future Skokie residents, including the conversion of units to eliminate barriers to ADA-accessibility.

AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
 Introduction
 The following actions will be undertaken by the Village in an attempt to identify obstacles to meeting underserved
 needs and propose actions to overcome those obstacles, foster and maintain affordable housing, evaluate and
 reduce lead-based paint hazards, reduce the number of poverty-level families, develop institutional structure, and
 enhance coordination.

 Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
 The Village plans to fairly distribute CDBG funding to organizations who will attempt to address the obstacles in
 meeting the underserved needs of the community.

 Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
 In addition to funding the Home Improvement Program with CDBG funding, on May 1, 2016, the Department of
 Community Development increased the limits on the Home Improvement Program to $12,000 for all repair,
 maintenance, and emergency improvement needs. The payback terms of the 15-year agreements changed to 100%
 payback for the first 5 years, then drop 10% each year for the next 10 years.

 Also, since 2016, the moderate-income (80% of Median Family Income, or MFI, for the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL,
 Metropolitan Area) households will be eligible for the grant program in lieu of the loan interest subsidy. This limited-
 time arrangement will continue to be monitored prior to offering grants to moderate-income households on a
 permanent basis. In addition, funding has been budgeted for the Village’s Neighborhood Enhancement Program
 (formerly known as the affordable housing initiative), established in PY19.

 In 2023, the Village will continue working toward addressing the issues and implementing the opportunities identified
 in the Urban Land Institute (ULI) developer panel summary report.

 Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
 The current understanding of the Skokie Health and Human Services Department as it pertains to high Blood Lead
 Levels (BLLs) in children are cultural practices or lead sources outside of Skokie, and not necessarily the paint found
 in Skokie homes. The Skokie Health Department will continue to monitor the Lead-Based Paint (LBP) issue, and if
 there is a case for further action, the existing procedures will be reviewed and amended as needed. In the interim,
 the Skokie Health Department plans to educate residents on potential sources of lead, such as the eyeliner known as
 “Kohl” or “Surma” which is applied to infants in certain immigrant communities. Per the Illinois Lead Program 2019
 Annual Surveillance Report4, an estimated 86% of Skokie’s housing stock is was built prior to 1978. Of the 858
 Skokie children <3 years of age had their BLLs tested in 2019, 0.3% had levels ≥10µ/dL and 1.7% had
 levels≥5µ/dL.

 In addition, the Community Development Department will continue to monitor lead levels in CILAs and homes
 participating in the Home Improvement Program where paint disturbance will occur or there are deteriorating paint
 conditions.

 Both departments will continue to work together as-needed when lead-based paint health issues are potentially caused by
 poor property maintenance.

 Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
 The Village will work toward maintaining or increasing affordable housing, providing a stable base environment from
 which to work. In addition, the Village’s Economic Development Division is making strides to grow the Village’s
 economy by working to redevelop vacant properties and commercial spaces, attracting new businesses to Skokie,
 and supporting the Illinois Science + Technology Park. Job (and employer) training is another initiative to ultimately
 improve the socioeconomic status of low/moderate-income families and individuals, including disabled individuals.
 Return to top of CDBG Memo




 Draft for public review from Wednesday, March 8, 2023, through Monday, April 17, 2023.

 Most if not all the economic development activities will be accomplished by utilizing several funding sources including
 the Village’s Economic Development Fund, tax increment finance (TIF), and local funding, with little to no CDBG
 funding.

 The Village of Skokie is currently in the process of adopting an updated Sustainability Plan, which has several long-
 term goals on energy and utility savings for families, through energy-efficient appliances and products, water-saving
 techniques, and other updates to outdated consuming measures.

 Actions planned to develop an institutional structure
 Village staff will provide technical assistance to sub-recipients throughout the program year, including on-site or
 Zoom.us-based pre-construction meetings, quarterly reporting assistance, and on-site or desktop monitoring.

 Since the Village’s 2014 and 2017 HUD monitoring visits, plus interim Davis-Bacon monitoring visits, policies and
 procedures related to grant management continue to be reviewed, updated as needed, and documented in the
 CDBG procedures manual. CDBG administration staff will continue to look for operational efficiencies and attend
 relevant training and conferences.

 Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies
 In addition to the aforementioned technical assistance and monitoring activities, Health and Human Services staff will
 continue to collaborate with Community Development staff and reach out to housing and social services agencies as
 needed. The Village has scheduled consultations with the Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) and the Suburban
 Alliance to End Homelessness in efforts to follow up with post-COVID strategies to make changes as needed.

 Discussion
 The Village is committed to making Skokie a better place to live, work, and play for all residents, workers, and
 employers. The activities listed above will enhance this effort for low/moderate-income residents, households, and
 neighborhood

AP-90 Program Specific Requirements – 91.220(l) (1,2,4)
Introduction
Community Development Department staff is responsible for ensuring program compliance, including plan
preparation, administration, and reporting.

Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(1)

Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table
(Table 7 – Project Information). The following identifies program income that is available for use that is included in
projects to be carried out.
1. The total amount of program income that will have been received before 0
the start of the next program year and that has not yet been reprogrammed
2. The amount of proceeds from section 108 loan guarantees that will be 0
used during the year to address the priority needs and specific objectives
identified in the grantee's strategic plan
3. The amount of surplus funds from urban renewal settlements 0
4. The amount of any grant funds returned to the line of credit for which the 0
planned use has not been included in a prior statement or plan.
5. The amount of income from float-funded activities 0
Total Program Income 0

Other CDBG Requirements
1. The amount of urgent need activities 0
2. The estimated percentage of CDBG funds that will be used for activities that benefit 86.08
persons of low and moderate income

Discussion
The Village’s program income is generated by sales of homes improved or repaired through the Home Improvement
Program and are sold within 15 years of their improvement or repair. This funding will continue to be repurposed in
the CDBG program.

The Village plans on continuing to request for funding for the Home Improvement and Neighborhood Enhancement
programs, with the intention on utilizing previously unused funding prior to newly awarded funds. This program is
often sought after from Village residents, however previous staff turnover has made it difficult to utilize this program
to its fullest potential.
