A Revamped Tax Program Is Offering Relief To Homeowners On Chicago’s Northwest Side – WBEZ (Chicago)

The Northwest Home Equity Assurance Program was created more than 30 years ago to prevent white flight on Chicago’s Northwest Side. But that never happened and the program ended up a dormant organization flush with millions of dollars in unused cash. With a change in state law and new organizational leadership, the program offers loans for repairs, maintenance, remodeling or other improvements.
