BACKGROUND:
Will County Center for Community Concerns (WCCCC) has applied for $80,000.00 in CDBG funds to support their Driveway Improvement Project. This Public Facilities activity would be used to leverage an additional $15,000.00 of the organization's own funding, as a source to complete these updates.
WCCCC hopes to improve handicapped and ADA accessibility to their facility by completing the driveway improvements. Accessibility will be improved by resurfacing and redefining handicapped spaces, providing better access to their facilities to the 9,500+ clients they serve on an annual basis.
This application fits into the eligible activities of CDBG, as well as demonstrates consistency to the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan high priority needs assessment for non-housing Community Development with a Citywide target area. The committee for Diversity and Community Relations meeting will be held on June 28th at 4:00pm, prior to the Council meeting July 2nd, 2024.
CONCLUSION:
This activity titled WCCCC Driveway Improvement Project will resurface their driveway and parking lot, providing additional ADA accessibility to the facility which services over 9,500 low/moderate income individuals.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
The Administration recommends - with the Diversity and Community Relations Committee support - the approval of the application and subsequent Resolution with Will County Center for Community Concerns (WCCCC) not to exceed $80,000.00 as drafted into the PY24 Annual Action Plan.
