Resident urges council to accelerate affordable-housing efforts
Summary
A Park Ridge resident told the council the city may be below an 8% affordable-housing target and urged council action to avoid a state audit; the speaker said the city’s share is about 6%.
During the public-comment period on Jan. 20, Bridal Olinik of 816 North Hamlin Avenue urged the Park Ridge City Council to advance affordable-housing legislation and community-development work, saying the city appears to be below an expected target.
"We are supposed to have a certain percentage, I believe 8%, affordable housing in the city," Olinik said, adding that she believes Park Ridge currently is “around 6%.” The speaker urged the council to act before the city faces a state audit of its affordable-housing implementation and said the issue affects residents’ ability to continue living in Park Ridge without excessive cost burdens.
Council members did not take action during the meeting; the comment was recorded as part of the public-comment period and was acknowledged by the chair before the meeting proceeded to other business.
