2010-2014 Consolidated Plan

The 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan is the City of Evanston’s primary vehicle for identifying and prioritizing housing, community development and economic needs and strategies, as part of the funding process for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) programs. The statutory goals of the HUD Consolidated Plan are to provide decent housing and a suitable living environment, and to expand economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons.

The City of Evanston is committed to a diverse community that is inclusive and encourages residents and institutions to work together to achieve a stronger community. To this end, the City will continue to pursue strategies to address housing, economic, and social service needs of low- and moderate-income residents, the homeless and special needs populations. Neighborhood revitalization in areas which lag behind the rest of the community is also a priority. Evanston has established numerous tools and partnerships for these efforts, but the recent economic downturn and housing foreclosure crisis threaten to undo past progress and to lead to even greater disinvestment.

The City of Evanston strives to make information accessible to non-English speaking persons and persons with disabilities. Persons needing assistance may contact the City at 847-448-8684 (Voice) or 847-328-4080 (TDD) or at cdbg@cityofevanston.org.
