What is Housing4All?

As Evanston’s first dedicated housing strategy, Housing4All provides an analysis of current housing conditions along with recommendations for the future. The plan serves as the City’s guiding framework for the next ten years, setting a clear vision for how Evanston will meet its housing needs. It identifies gaps and goals and develops objectives and strategies with a focus on implementation and accountability.

After reviewing public input, the Housing and Community Development Committee (HCDC) will recommend a final version of the plan to the City Council for adoption.
