Jonathan Burch from Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning made a presentation about the  
Pro Housing Federal Grant Program. The program is about removing barriers to affordable  
housing, increasing production and lowering housing costs for families. This is a national  
competition and they will be giving approximately 20 awards up to 10 million dollars. Priorities  
for CMAP are to develop resources and increase awareness of the economic benefits of diverse,  
affordable, and connected housing options. Also, providing technical support to communities to  
operationalize that. He told the Committee that Cook, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will and DuPage  
counties will come together on a regional application that CMAP is working on. CMAP will also  
provide housing planning and implementation support after the grant is issued.
