Recommendation
The Interim Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Chicago Housing Authority (“CHA”) recommends that the CHA Board of Commissioners (“Board”) approve the Amended FY2025 MTW Annual Plan and authorize CHA to submit the Amended FY2025 MTW Annual Plan to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The requested action complies in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local laws, and CHA policies. CHA staff has completed all necessary due diligence to support the submission of this initiative.
Background
As part of its MTW Agreement, CHA is required to submit an Annual Plan to HUD, due no later than 75 days prior to the beginning of CHA’s fiscal year. The MTW Annual Plan provides information regarding CHA’s operations, development actions, finances and MTW activities for the upcoming year, as well as information related to CHA’s compliance with the MTW Program.
CHA is amending its FY2025 MTW Annual Plan, which was approved by HUD on December 11, 2024, to include the disposition of vacant land surrounding the Up Top building at 13122 South Ellis at Altgeld Gardens for the future expansion of the building by the non-profit By the Hand Club for Kids. Inclusion of this disposition in CHA’s FY2025 MTW Annual Plan is necessary to proceed with the disposition process.
In 2024, HUD issued a revised Form 509900 (Attachment B to the MTW Agreement) which outlines requirements for the content of MTW annual plans and reports and for tracking the impact of MTW activities. This submission complies with all of the requirements of the Amended and Restated MTW Agreement, including the revised Form 50900 and applicable HUD regulations for the submission of annual reports.
Respectfully Submitted:
