A house is more than just walls and a roof — it’s safety, stability, dignity, and peace of mind. We’re proud to see the impact the City of Waukegan’s Housing Rehabilitation Program is making in our community.

With support from HUD, IHDA, and the City of Waukegan, over $1.5 million was invested into helping homeowners make critical home improvements this past year. This work is changing lives, one home at a time.

Thank you to everyone helping us continue to rebuild Waukegan and serve our residents. 🏡💙

National Community Development Month, celebrated each April, highlights the impact of programs like the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) in building stronger, safer, and more vibrant communities. It’s a time to recognize how investments in housing rehabilitation, neighborhood improvements, accessibility, and public services directly improve the quality of life for residents—especially those with the greatest needs. Community Development Month also encourages residents, local leaders, and partners to come together, share their voices, and stay engaged in shaping the future of their neighborhoods.
