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.

The Hazleton Home Rule Study Commission is drafting a Mayor article for the city's home rule charter, using the current Third Class City Code and Optional Plan B as the structural foundation. The document outlines preliminary drafting assumptions on three key mayoral requirements: minimum age eligibility (currently 18, same as council members); residency qualification (Commission consensus favors two years of continuous residency preceding election, with the mayor required to maintain city residency during their term); and vacancy procedures (City Council appoints a replacement to serve until the next municipal election occurring more than 200 days after the vacancy). The Commission is soliciting feedback on these assumptions before providing formal drafting instructions to Pennsylvania Economy League staff to begin charter article development.
