Resolution AH-R-002-23 - A Resolution to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding  
with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and our partner Collar  
Counties to participate in a competitive grant application to the department of Housing  
and Urban Development (HUD) for their “pro housing” Notice Of Funding Opportunity  
(NOFO) seeking a portion of the $85 million federal grant for the identification and  
removal of barriers to affordable housing production and preservation.  
WHEREAS, the County of DuPage (“County”) in it its desire to promote and  
enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of DuPage County, created  
the Ad Hoc Housing Solutions Committee (“Committee”) to study the challenges with  
creating programs to develop and sustain affordable and workforce housing in the  
County; and  
WHEREAS, the Committee received and considered numerous presentations,  
studies, reports, and articles including information as to the effects and impacts of the  
high cost of housing, land development and challenges thereto on the citizens, workforce,  
labor market and employers in DuPage County; and  
WHEREAS, the Committee heard presentations that reinforced the notion that the  
County and indeed the Northeastern Illinois region faces growing challenges developing a  
diverse housing stock and maintaining affordability thereto. The disconnect between the  
housing that people want and what is available undermines the regional economy. The  
Committee learned that not just the County of DuPage, but our region struggles to build  
enough good, affordable, and accessible housing with access to employment and services.  
To overcome these challenges communities in the region, need to plan for future housing  
needs but planning alone is not enough. Through zoning, entitlement processes, building  
codes and inspections, local government choices shape the types of housing that can be  
built and preserved; and  
WHEREAS, the County finds that the Committee determined that to develop  
meaningful and sustainable programs for affordable and workforce housing it is necessary  
and desirable to enter into collaborative agreements with our regional partners to develop  
housing programs and seek resources that will provide meaningful and sustainable  
affordable housing solutions and opportunities to families in DuPage County who seek to  
live and raise families in proximity to where they work, attend school and have family  
ties in DuPage County; and  
WHEREAS, the County finds that the Committee has identified a valuable  
collaborative partner to assist in the development of programs and resources in the  
Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) and our collar county partners.  
Specifically, CMAP’s grant application on a joint funding opportunity from the  
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), under the authority of the  
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328, approved December 29,  
2022) (Appropriations Act), which has appropriated $85 million for competitive grant  
funding for the identification and removal of barriers to affordable housing production  
and preservation; and  
WHEREAS, the County finds that the Committee has identified the Pathways to  
Removing Obstacles to Housing program (PRO Housing) grant application, if awarded,  
will enable DuPage County to work with CMAP and our collar county partners to align  
our planned work with the Grounded Solutions Network’s, “FOREVERYONEHOME”  
program with the regional approach and support local and regional involvement in the  
implementation of our housing readiness goals and its mission to cultivate communities -  
equitable, inclusive, and rich in opportunity - by advancing affordable housing solutions  
that last for generations; and  
WHEREAS, the Memorandum of Understanding, (“MOU”) attached hereto as  
Exhibit A establishes the roles and responsibilities of DuPage County, CMAP and our  
collar county partners regarding each agency’s participation in the Program.  
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the County Board  
hereby agrees to and accepts the terms of the attached MOU between with CMAP and the  
County of DuPage, as set forth in Exhibit A; and  
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk send copies of the  
foregoing to: (1) the DuPage County Department of Building and Zoning, (2) the DuPage  
Community Service Department, (3) the DuPage County State’s Attorney, (4) the DuPage
