LSSI -15 acres off Commonwealth –
A public meeting is scheduled and a motion is requested to set a public hearing date on February 1 for this Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI) project.
The development planned is to serve elderly who meet HUD age and income eligibility requirements. The facility would include 59 one-bedroom apartments along with a “managers” apartment.
Occupancy is limited to the elderly 62 years of age or older, two persons, one of whom is 62 or odder; an elderly family and another person who is determined, based upon a licensed health care professional certification, to be essential to an applicant/residents’ ability to remain in the apartment.
Family income must be at or below 50% of the median income for the area. This figure changes annually, but currently is $26,300 per year for one person and $30,500 for two people. Rent is based upon 30% of a person’s adjusted income
This facility is to be funded under the HUD 202 PRAC capital advance grant, which LSSI has already received. The capital advance grant is for approximately $9.5 million.
The average age if incoming residents is about 76+ years of age. This housing is to service seniors who are in need of low income housing. Management will address the needs of the seniors for supportive services.
