Annual Action Plan
Every year, Lake County (in cooperation with Waukegan and North Chicago) is required to develop and publish an Action Plan that shows how the federal funds it receives (CDBG, ESG and HOME) will be used to address the goals and strategies of the Consolidated Plan for its program year (May 1 – April 30). The funded programs are detailed in this plan.
The funded programs in the Annual Action Plan are determined by Community Development Commission review panels, which rate and rank the applications, and also through citizen participation. Each year, two public hearings are held regarding the contents of the Annual Action Plan, including the funded projects. The Community Development Commission strongly encourages this participation.

2008 Annual Action Plan
The Lake County 2008 Annual Action Plan has had a few amendments as a result of the Housing & Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The amendments follow:
2008 CDBG-R Substantial Amendment
Lake County has submitted a substantial amendment to its 2008 Annual Action Plan in order to receive CDBG-R funding as part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The funding received from this recovery grant will be used to make public infrastructure improvements throughout Lake County.
CDBG-R Substantial Amendment
The Lake County Consortium has submitted an HPRP Amendment to the PY2008 Annual Action Plan to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The HPRP Amendment guides the allocation of new funds designed to assist persons facing or experiencing homelessness. Specific programs or activities for the $1,057,106 in HPRP funds will be determined at a later date.
HPRP Substantial Amendment
HUD’s new Neighborhood Stabilization Program will provide emergency assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provides grants to every state and certain local communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. The program is authorized under Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. Read Lake County's Action Plan Addendum here:
