ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The authors would like to thank all municipalities in Lake County for their commitment to
building healthy and resilient communities. By working together to offer a variety of
housing choices in Lake County, we can address a broad range of social and economic
needs.
The authors would also like to thank the Lake County Center for Independent Living,
Lake County Housing Action Coalition, Lake County Community Foundation, Prairie
State Legal Services, and Lake County Coalition for the Homeless for your contributions
to this AI. Such community-based organizations encouraged the County to consider
questions such as the following:
Can neighborhoods be integrated economically and racially?
Can the building process itself support local residents and their search for
meaningful jobs, rather than large-scale developers?
Can nonprofits take a larger role in development?
Can Americans build affordable housing for every metropolitan household?
Can housing be tailored to support the elderly and people with disabilities? 3
Reference to an organization within this study does not constitute an endorsement of
