Mary, a county staff presenter, said the county launched the 24/7 211 system in late 2023 and that the 211dupage.gov dashboard shows caller volumes and the services requested. \"We know that housing is probably the—well, it is the highest, the highest request across the board regardless of what municipality they're calling from,\" Mary said.

Mary showed the advisory group a dashboard view of the previous year’s 211 calls and encouraged municipal partners to use the tool and distribute printed handouts the county provided. She noted the dashboard allows users to drill down by ZIP code or by municipality to see local demand and that needs vary by place — at a recent mayors-and-managers meeting, staff heard that utility bills were a top issue in Glendale Heights.

The presenter said 211 can be used for stopgap emergency assistance such as one-time help to avoid utility shutoffs and that county staff will supply more printed materials to municipal partners on request. Committee members were asked to take handouts and share them with municipal partners and residents.

Mary closed by asking committee members to take the materials and noting the advisory group’s next meeting date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DuPage County HAG CDC Committee Meeting, Tuesday 7/1/25","oneSentenceSummary","County staff described DuPage County’s 24/7 211 information-and-referral system and an online dashboard (211dupage.gov) that tracks callers’ needs by ZIP code; housing and utility assistance were cited as top needs.","taxTitle","DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",2547,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180714,"DuPage HOME advisory group backs conditional commitments for two affordable housing projects totaling $4.15 million",0,80000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116866-2a3861f3492069e42eac1926137d5157&start=80&end=80","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116866-2a3861f3492069e42eac1926137d5157/thumbnail_80000.jpg","/articles/6180714/DuPage-County/Illinois/DuPage-HOME-advisory-group-backs-conditional-commitments-for-two-affordable-housing-projects-totaling-415-million","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180714-d5e4fd62f4a2f1d3b5066a4fe388460b/orig.mp4?Expires=1774949503&Signature=TSxWLbjPjMbLTPazj6U6D4jN8HtA3JvvARYilgrxr2cr6aGtE0hLNuucld6tIbc11e1KrdSnTdg2c8rHtxKM7c1cAaVeM4vP4yvjpatmXZUn7~EucrEoBQIJknRtbGdoFTNQ8y-ZDzxo~-AixWd4y6YiL7yCIPCl3~OSkayOmlGhPii1xQW6KUhuulS117mRLboRYUgvXI4bW1PfkiQ~tnTQ6JJjEDJIZ4Gr0m~Udh17k~xH5uDW~bw9jkxBA5HmOwICkELP75B6i8quHpe94m-vg4NIfcyYnNucmZiA~orGqdxBD0XU3RjzXCkSCRzt0zfynIvu1c0mnJbrhUFgag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The DuPage County HOME Advisory Group voted unanimously to recommend conditional commitments of HOME (Home Investment Partnerships Program) funds for two new affordable rental projects — $2,400,336 for a 71-unit senior and disability project in Naperville and $1,750,000 for a 42-unit family and disability project in Glen Ellyn.

The recommendations are advisory to the DuPage County Board and are conditional: staff said final risk analyses and legal documents must be completed before the County Board ties county funds to either development.

Mary, a county staff member presenting the two items, described the advisory group's multi-step HOME approval process and why the group was asked to move now. She said the two projects have received low-income housing tax credits and are aiming to close in August. Because the tax-credit financing timeline requires certainty about other funding sources, the advisory group was asked to advance conditional commitments so staff can circulate draft legal documents and help the projects meet closing schedules.

\"The conditional commitment...doesn't guarantee the funding. It doesn't lock up the funding,\" Mary said, adding that the county will complete a risk analysis before taking either project to the County Board for final approval. Mary also told the group that preliminary set-asides are used to show tax-credit reviewers that county dollars are earmarked if projects win tax-credit awards.

Members asked no substantive questions during the presentations and moved both recommendations to a roll-call vote. The first recommendation — a conditional commitment of $2,400,336 to Gorman and Company, LLC for 71 new affordable rental units in Naperville targeting seniors and persons with disabilities — was moved and seconded and carried unanimously. The second recommendation — a conditional commitment of $1,750,000 to Full Circle Communities, Inc., Taft and Nexmoore Development for 42 new affordable rental units in Glen Ellyn for families and persons with disabilities — was also moved, seconded and approved unanimously.

Meeting materials noted the county uses a preliminary set-aside step for projects applying for low-income housing tax credits so developers can include county support in their tax-credit applications; staff emphasized that projects that do not win tax credits will free up those preliminarily set-aside funds. Mary said roughly \"maybe 30\" percent of tax-credit applications win awards, characterizing that number as an estimate based on past cycles.

Next steps: staff will finish risk analyses, finalize draft legal documents with developers and other funding partners, and present the conditional commitments to the DuPage County Board later in August for final authorization and to release county funds, if all conditions are met.","The DuPage County HOME Advisory Group voted unanimously to recommend conditional commitments totaling $4,150,336 in HOME funds to two developers for affordable rental projects in Naperville and Glen Ellyn, while retaining final approval until risk analyses and legal documents are complete.","actionData","errors"]
