The Illinois Building Blocks Pilot Program is a new pilot program in six Cook County communities to help return vacant and foreclosed properties to productive use, provide affordable home ownership opportunities to working families, and help existing homeowners access foreclosure prevention resources. The program is a coordinated effort to help stabilize neighborhoods, protect property values and maintain the existing local tax base in Berwyn, Maywood, Park Forest, Riverdale, Chicago Heights and South Holland.
Key Components
Building Blocks addresses the foreclosure crisis in the pilot areas in three ways
1. Financing to rehabilitate vacant properties. A new revolving loan fund, with $40 million in Illinois Jobs Now! capital funds and $10 million from Cook County, will facilitate the acquisition and rehabilitation of vacant properties within the targeted areas.
2. Assistance for homebuyers. Significant financial assistance will be made available for purchasing vacant properties as a primary residence in the targeted areas. To qualify, the vacant property does not need to be one of those rehabbed in the program. The State of Illinois will provide:
3. Support for existing homeowners. Foreclosure counseling, loan modification programs and other resources targeted throughout the pilot communities to current homeowners to help families avoid foreclosure and keep their homes. Targeted outreach and events will connect these communities to:
Financing the creation and preservation of affordable housing
The Illinois Building Blocks Pilot Program will also leverage existing efforts already underway in many of these communities, particularly federally-funded Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) development. Under Governor Quinn, Illinois has committed $58 million in NSP funding to restore nearly 450 foreclosed or vacant housing units in Illinois, creating an estimated 580 jobs.
In addition to federal NSP development, Building Blocks leverages local efforts, ongoing Cook County funding, and regional strategic planning in a comprehensive coordinated approach.
