The county distributed a one-page summary showing caller demographics, ZIP-code-level data and service needs; staff said the same data is available on the 2-1-1 website and that the county will distribute physical copies to the county board and to municipal partners and committees.

Why it matters: 2-1-1 provides referral services for housing, food, utilities and other basic needs. Staff said the recent expansion to round-the-clock coverage was funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) dollars, and that the county expects some state assistance but must plan for ongoing funding beyond 2027.

Funding uncertainty: Staff discussed how a federal budget reconciliation process and the president’s proposed budget could affect programs such as CDBG (Community Development Block Grant), HOME, CSBG (Community Services Block Grant) and LIHEAP. In the meeting transcript, a county staff speaker said the president’s proposed budget “zeros out a number of those programs,” adding that historically the president’s proposals are revised in Congress and that program reinstatement has occurred in past appropriations cycles. The staffer said: “I would be shocked if all of the draconian cuts that are in the president's proposed budget go through.”

Staff said county leaders are watching House and Senate markups of appropriations and that local officials will likely learn more in July or August as committees finish markups. The transcript records committee members asking for printed materials to hand out at district meetings and to municipal partners.

County staff also said 2-1-1’s online dashboards allow users to drill down by ZIP code and timeframe, and encouraged committee members to use those tools when connecting residents to services.

No formal actions were required on the 2-1-1 presentation; staff said they would distribute the one-page summary and follow up with the full board and municipal partners.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","DuPage County Human Services Committee Meeting, Tuesday 7/1/25","oneSentenceSummary","County staff distributed a 2-1-1 year-in-review and said the expansion of 2-1-1 services was funded by ARPA; staff also warned that proposed federal budget changes could reduce funding for programs that support county services.","taxTitle","DuPage County, Illinois","taxId",2547,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6180708,"DuPage Care Center: committee approves equipment and supply contracts, grants residency waiver; facility joins Northwestern post-acute network",145,422595,568520,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5116871-3350125e4df29148248971d757752aee&start=422&end=568","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5116871-3350125e4df29148248971d757752aee/thumbnail_422595.jpg","/articles/6180708/DuPage-County/Illinois/DuPage-Care-Center-committee-approves-equipment-and-supply-contracts-grants-residency-waiver-facility-joins-Northwestern-post-acute-network","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6180708-b74d72a710c29a24326ecea3341fd674/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201918&Signature=NHc3DQplars20Fn0HjhIz6-o-ClDdy9AiHkL2pmOumcqbewNE~iVa0ovr~h0F02tx64VnrhgaeeWD6M1Y8P-1B1AJsm6f4MPVKaf10vddd9dR7d05zoR8VatPkZSaec52bpffVRQEGxP1N5zyl3JiePHIs-2eUIGm2OypSkC8PW6y93T6zU38cY4VU2FBJly~Lwagw602BWVOtE1Y4K-PPgC8gnEeao1giePK8XjBVDgN4wOCfNXM88Kc4Mt88QSaKGQtfoqaQXX-FFSQNNPyrST3n4pd2rYrNon1hOCdHW5FavjlZSIr4PAL2JJS1uR4HLwxN7Je2C2qmDIYIbIIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The DuPage County Human Services Committee approved multiple procurement contracts for the DuPage Care Center, granted a residency waiver allowing a husband to join his spouse at the facility, and heard staff say the center will join Northwestern Medical Center’s post-acute accountable care network.

Committee action: Members approved a contract to Allco Sales and Service Company for wheelchair parts, supplies and accessories for the DuPage Care Center for the period Aug. 6, 2025, through Aug. 5, 2027, with a contract ceiling not to exceed $19,000; they also approved a maintenance-and-support agreement with Rxium Inc. (for the fast pack irrigation dispensing machine in the DuPage Care Center pharmacy) for the period Sept. 1, 2025, through Aug. 31, 2026, not to exceed $16,844.99; and approved a purchase of over-bed tables (listed in the transcript as Henry Shining or Deluxe Top Over Bed Tables) for the North and South neighborhoods for July 2, 2025, through July 1, 2026, not to exceed $15,260.60. All motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote or roll call as recorded in the meeting.

Residency waiver: The committee approved a residency waiver request to allow an in-county applicant to be admitted alongside a spouse already at the center. County staff reported bed availability figures in the transcript: eight male beds were available (four already assigned to in-county applicants) and 14 female beds were available (three already assigned). Committee members confirmed on the record that no resident would be displaced by the admission; the motion to approve the waiver passed by voice vote.

Network participation: County staff told the committee the DuPage Care Center has been in the post-acute network for CDH Northwestern Medical Center since a successful application submitted about six years earlier, and the network recently launched its own accountable care organization (ACO). Staff said the county had asked to be part of the ACO and that county counsel or designated staff (Renee, as referenced) had reviewed the contract; staff said they would move forward with participation.

Why it matters: The contracts supply medical equipment and pharmacy maintenance that support resident care. Approving the residency waiver preserves family placement and, according to staff, will not displace other county residents. Participation in a Northwestern-affiliated ACO may affect referral patterns and care coordination for the facility, increasing its priority for referrals, staff said.

Questions on the record addressed rooming: when a committee member asked whether a husband and wife can occupy the same room, staff answered, “If they choose to, yes.” The transcript shows no recorded dissent on the listed procurement items, the residency waiver, or the decision to proceed with the ACO arrangement.

The committee accepted an amendment to the ILD CEO Community Services Block Grant, raising the grant award from $1,269,609 to $1,401,491 — an increase of $131,882 — and approved multiple vendor contracts to deliver weatherization, Energy Star appliances and HVAC services for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 program year.

Why it matters: The contracts and added federal block-grant dollars fund energy-efficiency improvements and direct services for low- and moderate-income households in DuPage County. Committee members said the awards ensure vendors are in place for the upcoming program year so weatherization work can proceed without delay.

Most of the contracts approved were single-year awards covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Motions that carried included: an award to Arcos Environmental Services Inc. for mechanical and architectural weatherization (contract not to exceed $135,000); an award to Chicago United Industries Limited to furnish, deliver and install Energy Star appliances (contract not to exceed $238,000); awards to multiple HVAC and weatherization contractors (including Healthy Air Heating and Air and My Greenhouse HVAC LLC) each with contract totals not to exceed $135,000; and a smaller award to Comfort First Insulation and Energy Solutions, Inc., for weatherization work (contract not to exceed $15,000). Committee members moved and seconded each item and recorded “aye” votes; the approvals were carried during roll call or voice vote.

Committee members also approved contract amendments that increased encumbrances to several community providers after the ILD CEO reported additional grant funding: an amendment increasing Home DuPage (DuPage Homeownership Center doing business as Home DuPage) by $40,000 — bringing its amended contract total to $86,888 — and an increase to Garden Works project by $4,992 (amended total not to exceed $74,992). Outreach Community Services Inc. received an increase of $15,000 for an amended contract total not to exceed $115,000.

During the proceedings, committee members thanked staff and community partners for preparing successful grant presentations and for support from communications staff; no member raised objections to the awards on the record.

The committee’s approvals place vendors and increased grant resources in position for the new program year; members indicated the committee would continue to coordinate outreach and program oversight with county staff.

The committee handled these items under standard motion-and-roll-call procedure; the items were approved by voice vote or roll call with no recorded dissent in the transcript.
