Community Development 
HOUSING REHABILITATION DIVISION
The City of Evanston is dedicated to promoting safe, sanitary and decent housing for its citizens. As part of this goal, the City offers a variety of Housing Rehabilitation Programs which provide financing to improve Evanston’s housing stock. The Rehabilitation Program provides owner-occupants and owners of residential structures with financial assistance which is based upon family size and income.
The Housing Rehabilitation Division strives to:
- Encourage the revitalization, preservation, and stabilization of Evanston neighborhoods
- Enable low-income families, who may not be able to obtain conventional financing, the opportunity to rehabilitate their homes
- Reduce utility costs by incorporating energy conservation techniques into housing rehabilitation projects
- Conserve and rehabilitate housing for very low-income households
- Recapture funds through loan programs to assure future funding for housing assistance.
