In 2010, City Council altered <br />this program. The ordinance excludes single family homes and townhomes. The ordinance includes a <br />rental license that applies only to multi - family housing with three or more dwelling units exclusively for <br />occupancy by three or more families living independently of each other but sharing hallways and main <br />entrances and exits. <br />Annual North Suburban Home Improvement Show <br />Another project the Building Division is proud to continue is its involvement in the annual North <br />Suburban Home Improvement Show. This event invites local building contractors, residents, and City <br />staff to come together for an opportunity to share local services and building programs.

Since <br />1995, the City has received $3,804,098 through the LCA program. In July the City Council adopted a <br />resolution to continue the City's participation which also adopted both the proposed 2011 -2020 LCA <br />Affordable Housing Goals for the City at 434 to 669 and the proposed LCA Life -Cycle Housing Goals for <br />
