Housing4All returns to City Council on Monday with proposed amendments that would strengthen the plan with clear safeguards.

EAC supports amendments that make Housing4All more transparent, targeted, and accountable by:

• Clarifying that Housing4All does not automatically approve zoning changes

• Requiring separate public review and Council approval for future land-use changes

• Prioritizing anti-displacement protections and resident retention

• Preserving existing affordable housing and naturally occurring affordable housing

• Addressing long-term homeowner displacement and property tax pressure

• Requiring data, impact analysis, and public reporting before major policy changes

Evanston can pursue housing solutions while also protecting resident stability, quality of life, existing affordability, and accountable land-use decision-making.

Please send a letter before Monday’s vote.
