DuPage County HAG CDC Committee Meeting, Tuesday 9/1/26

The DuPage County Home Advisory Group (HAG) and CDC Committee held meetings on September 1, 2026, focusing primarily on amendments to the 2021 annual action plan related to the Home American Rescue Plan (ARP) allocation. The committees discussed shifting the use of over $6.5 million in Home ARP funds from new construction projects to supportive services such as short- and medium-term rental assistance, utility payments, and moving expenses to better serve extremely low-income and homeless populations. The committees also approved extending a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a rehabilitation project (CD 24 SFR) through June 30, 2027, to continue serving clients in the pipeline. Administrative costs for managing the Home ARP funds were budgeted at just over 10%, within the allowable 15% cap. Motions to approve amendments and extensions were passed unanimously, with plans to develop and score supportive services applications by early 2027.
