CDBG funds are allocated on an annual basis from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). Funds are intended to create viable communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents.

In order to receive funding, the village must develop a Five-Year Consolidated Plan with an Action Plan that is updated annually. The village is also required to annually report on the progress of activities through the Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER).

In previous years, the village has granted CDBG funds for the following activities:

• Public Facility & Infrastructure Projects (see below)
• Public Services (see below)
• Residential Rehabilitation Loan Program
• Handyworker Program
• Small Business Loan Program

 For more information, please contact the Community Development Department at (847) 923-4430.

Five-Year Consolidated Plan

The Consolidated Plan is a comprehensive five-year planning document that identifies the overall housing and community development needs of the village, outlines available programs and resources, and establishes a strategy for prioritizing and addressing these needs.

The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a collaborative process whereby a community establishes a unified vision for community development actions. HUD requires that entitlement jurisdictions look at the community as a whole, so each community can develop a vision that addresses issues such as affordable housing, adequate infrastructure, fair housing, civic design, the environment, and economic growth. The goals of the Consolidated Plan are to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities to benefit low and moderate-income residents. 

Please see the Village's approved 2025 - 2029 CDBG Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

Annual Action Plan

The Annual Action Plan identifies programs, projects, or activities that the village plans to address the housing and community development needs of the community over the next program year. The Community Development Department has prepared the 2025 CDBG Action Plan for program year 2025, beginning October 1st, 2025, to September 30th, 2026. The 2025 Annual Action Plan identifies the projects and program that are proposed to be undertaken to address the housing and community development needs of Schaumburg in the first program year of the 2025 - 2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. 

Please contact Chidochashe Baker, Community Planner, at (847) 923-3851 with any comments or questions.

CAPER

The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) is designed to report on the progress in carrying out the Annual Action Plan. The CAPER is also designed to provide the jurisdiction an opportunity to assess its annual performance in relationship to meeting its overall five-year Consolidated Plan priorities and objectives and to discuss what actions or changes it contemplates as a result of its annual performance.

The Draft 2024 CDBG CAPER, is now available for public review and comment, starting on October 20, 2025 to November 7, 2025. 

The Village will also conduct a public hearing on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 2 p.m. in Conference Room 120, Temporary Village Hall, 1000 E. Woodfield Rd., Schaumburg, Illinois, to solicit feedback on the draft 2024 CAPER. All persons desiring to be heard will be given the opportunity to be heard.
