The Village of Maywood Board of Trustees on Aug. 3, 2021 approved an APP Resolution to apply for Round 5 of the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s Abandoned Residential Property Municipal Relief Program (ARP-MRP). The Village Attorney, Michael Jurusik, emphasized the need to adopt the resolution and submit application materials before the Aug. 6, 2021 deadline.
Trustee M. Lightford moved to approve the APP Resolution; Trustee S. Reyes-Plummer seconded. The motion carried on a unanimous roll call vote. The minutes state the Village Clerk was to process the resolution prior to the application deadline.
Why it matters: IHDA’s ARP-MRP provides municipalities assistance to address abandoned residential properties, which can affect neighborhood stability, property values and public safety. The resolution allows Maywood to seek state grant funds to remediate eligible properties.
What’s next: the clerk’s office was directed to finalize and submit the APP Resolution and accompanying application materials by Aug. 6, 2021.
