ITEM SUMMARY:
The City’s fair housing policy, originally approved in 1969 with a comprehensive amendment approved
in 1996, requires an update in the form of a supplemental action plan (“plan”) to comply with DuPage
County’s Community Development Block Grant (“CBDG”) requirements. This plan is required for the
submission of grant applications from the City to the County for CBDG funds. The required plan must
include the City’s existing fair housing policy as well as a new section demonstrating how staff is
trained to respond to fair housing complaints. A section explaining what methods will be used by the
City to notify the public of updates to the City’s fair housing policy is also required in the plan.
The plan has been drafted by staff and includes the sections needed to fulfill DuPage County’s CDBG
requirements. Once approved, the plan will be posted on the City’s website for public view.
ACTION PROPOSED:
Discuss and recommend approval of the draft Supplemental Fair Housing Action Plan.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
