There are 201 people in Urbana who have no place to call home, according to a Regional Housing Needs Study. The study was conducted by a regional housing task force and will kick off Urbana City Council’s regular meeting on Monday.

Charlie Smyth, Ward 1, said the city is primarily combating homelessness through prevention. The city gives money to various social service agencies that can be used as seed money to leverage other funds from the federal or state government or from private agencies.

The city does as much as it can with its limited funds, Smyth said, but he wishes they could do more.

In other business, there will be an update given on the status of the 135-year-old Halberstadt House, 104 N. Central Ave.

City council will vote on several ordinances, including one that will allow Central Illinois Soccer Enterprises to build an indoor soccer facility at 2400 N. Willow Road.

Another ordinance to be voted on will eliminate courtesy parking tickets from the Champaign County PayStation parking lot, 200 E. Main St., so offenders will be fined on their first offense.

City council will vote on two budget-related ordinances, one approving the budget of the Urbana HOME Consortium, a program that provides affordable housing to low-income individuals, for fiscal year 2011-12 and another approving the reallocation of accepted grant money for the Center for Women in Transition. The money will be spent to renovate the center’s kitchen. While originally the grant was earmarked for foundation repairs and plumbing work, sufficient donation money covered these costs.

Two more ordinances will be voted on: one on whether to extend the Civilian Police Review Board’s review due date and another authorizing a land swap, in which the city will give up its ownership of Mulberry Alley in exchange for the property at 909 N. Lincoln Ave.

Also on the agenda are two resolutions about the proposed construction at Lincoln Avenue and Olympian Drive.
