  • City of Evanston Local Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    In December 2020, the City of Evanston's Reparations Subcommittee recommended that the City Council discuss a proposed restorative housing program as part of the city's local reparations initiative. The proposal drew on N'COBRA and NAARC definitions of reparations as a process of repairing and restoring communities harmed by institutional injustice, emphasizing that remedies must be defined by those who suffered the harm and managed through independent structures. The city had established the Reparations Fund in November 2019 with $10 million in funding from a 3% Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax, tasking the Reparations Subcommittee with conducting a feasibility study on housing assistance programs and economic development opportunities for Black residents to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps.
