Loyola Park is one of the gems of the Chicago parks system. Loyola Park Advisory Council (LPAC) is a non-profit that promotes activities in the park and invites all our neighbors to participate in events like the Daddy Daughter Dance, Black History Celebration, Kids Reading Library, and the Artists of the Wall Festival. Along with its beautiful lakefront beach, the park has tennis courts, basketball and baseball facilities, and a full roster of field house based team sports. LPAC raises money for scholarships to these events, plus Movies in the Park and many other reasons to visit year-round.
This past year has been tough on the organization. The Artists of the Wall event, which is their main fundraising event, had to be canceled. Compounded with the financial challenges local sponsors are experiencing, the regular donations to the Park Advisory Council have decreased.
Despite these challenges, the Loyola Park Advisory Council remains committed to continuing its mission and will plan creative ways to reach out and involve the Rogers Park community in 2021.
Consider making a contribution to help the Loyola Park Advisory Council continue providing rich programming to the Rogers Park Community.

Emergency Relief for Affordable Multifamily Properties (ERAMP)
|
|
The ERAMP program is a financial assistance program established to help preserve the availability of safe, clean, and affordable housing units in the City of Chicago’s existing portfolio of multifamily affordable rental projects, for individuals and families that may experience financial hardship resulting from COVID 19.
The program provides grants or no-interest, deferred payment loans of up to $75,000. Eligible uses of funds include expenses associated with deep cleaning services, the purchase of PPEs and disinfecting agents, and/or maintaining property operations including general operating, maintenance, utilities, administration, taxes, and senior debt service payments. Partnership fees are ineligible uses.
Qualified affordable housing properties must have five or more units and subject to a Regulatory Agreement requiring affordable housing units on the premises. Properties that are not under regulatory requirements to provide affordable units are ineligible (i.e. properties that are considered naturally occurring affordable housing will not be considered at this time). Portions of properties that receive unit-based rental assistance (e.g., Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers) are not eligible.

Senior Sewer Rebate Program Update
|
|
The Office of the City Clerk no longer functions as the intake office for receipt of eligible first-time applicants and renewals for the Senior Sewer Rebate program. Instead, the Department of Finance's Utility Billing and Customer Service Division processes the applications.
The yearly renewal form requires the claimant to provide a copy of their government-issued identification and a recent property tax bill for verification purposes. To simplify the application process, the Senior Rebate for multi-unit buildings and the Senior Exemption for single-family homes use the same application form and require the same documentation. The property type determines for which program the senior is eligible. Renewal letters have been mailed to those who received the rebate in 2020.
Current information and application forms can be accessed online at chicago.gov/utilitybill. When you're on the website, make sure to click utility charge exemptions and rebates. Those with questions about the program can email utilitybill@cityofchicago.org or call 312-744-4426.
Seniors can return their application and documentation in an email to utilitybill@cityofchicago.org or by mail to the following address:

LIHEAP For All: Financial Assistance for All,
Regardless of Legal Status
|
|
Low-income families in the state of Illinois can still apply for financial assistance to help pay for gas or electric bills through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) until June 30, 2021. However, the sooner you apply, the better.
CUB recommends that to avoid misinformation, the most reliable way to get details about LIHEAP benefits is to always use the State of Illinois’s website.
LIHEAP remains available up to 200% of the federal poverty level, and undocumented applicants are welcome. Currently, the LIHEAP system accepts an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) in place of a Social Security number (SSN). Even if you don’t have an ITIN, you can still apply.
To apply for LIHEAP, fill out the pre-qualification application. Once you fill out your application, your local LIHEAP office will contact you.
For more information and to learn about other financial assistance programs, visit the state’s Help for Illinois Families website.
If you have any questions, please call the Citizen's Utility Board's consumer hotline at 1-800-669-5556. If you need help in Spanish, you can call 1-833-711-0374.

State Partners with Banks to Provide
Free Check Cashing for Stimulus Checks
|
|
The Illinois Department of Professional and Financial Regulation (IDFPR) announced this week that they have worked with banks to provide services for unbanked Illinoisans seeking to cash their stimulus checks without incurring check-cashing fees. During the first round of stimulus checks, the banks provided this service and worked again with IDFPR to secure the same agreement for the second round of stimulus checks.
The FDIC estimates that over 22% of Illinois households are under or unbanked. Many of these Illinois households will once again be receiving paper stimulus checks and have few check cashing options that won't incur fees. To avoid these fees, IDFPR partnered with several banking institutions that will provide non-customers services to cash their stimulus checks for free. The banks in this partnership include the Bank of America, First Midwest, Fifth Third, Huntington, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, and U.S. Bank. This partnership means that Illinois residents will be able to apply their full stimulus amount toward food, housing, and other necessities during this difficult time.
To ensure proper social distancing and confirm that they have the proper identification to cash their federal stimulus check, individuals interested in these options should contact the banks listed above or email IDFPR at ILBanks@illinois.gov to set up an appointment.

Senior Citizens can Apply for Property Tax Deferral

Seniors whose annual household income is $55,000 or less can apply now for the Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Program, which issues loans to cover property tax payments.

To apply:
- Download the application from cookcountytreasurer.com
- Submit the completed application and copies of the required documents to the Treasurer’s Office
- The deadline is March 1, 2021. Applications after that date cannot be accepted

|
Two Month Waiver Available for Property Tax Late Fees
|
|
In November, the Cook County Board of Commissioners voted to waive late fees for two months on both property tax installments due in 2021, giving cash-strapped property owners more time to juggle their finances.
The Board unanimously waived for two months the 1.5 percent per month late fee on all Tax Year 2020 property taxes, according to a news release. Specifically:
- The First Installment of 2020 taxes is due March 2, 2021, with application of late charges moved back to May 3, 2021.
- The Second Installment of 2020 taxes is due August 2, 2021, with application of late charges moved back to October 1, 2021.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) opened another round of Payment Protection Program (PPP) loans this week. The latest PPP loans were included in the second federal relief package passed in late December 2020.
On Monday, businesses that did not receive a loan during the first round of the PPP became eligible to apply for a First Draw PPP Loan at participating Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). On Wednesday, certain businesses that have already received a PPP loan through the first round became eligible to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan through a participating CDFI. After these first two tiers, PPP will open for applications through all participating lenders, including traditional banks.
As a reminder, businesses apply for Paycheck Protection Program loans through a bank, credit union, CDFI, or other lenders. Initially, businesses will only be able to use CDFIs to receive loans in order to promote access to capital. For a list of Illinois CDFIs, click here. Please note that some CDFIs may not be participating in the program- please contact your preferred lender to determine if they are participating. The program will then open up to all participating lenders, including traditional banks, at a later date.
