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.

Resolution 126-R-19, adopted November 1, 2019, establishes a City of Evanston Reparations Fund dedicated to local reparations for African American residents. The resolution directs the Chief Financial Officer to divert all revenue from the Adult Use Cannabis Tax—authorized under Illinois Public Act 101-27 and enacted locally via Ordinance 99-O-19 at a rate not to exceed 3% of gross cannabis retail receipts—into a separate municipal account for reparations. The fund will support two primary areas: housing assistance and relief initiatives for African American residents, and economic development programs and opportunities for African American residents and entrepreneurs, as recommended by the Equity & Empowerment Commission and studied by a City Council subcommittee. The resolution also permits donations to the fund from external organizations, corporations, and individuals, with full implementation plans to be developed during 2020.
