	Oak Park, Illinois

Oak Park residents have long valued our community’s open and inclusive nature. As such, we have consistently supported initiatives and organizations that promote racial and economic diversity. Simultaneously, we have supported initiatives that ensure an attractive and marketable housing stock. These efforts have ensured a healthy housing market, a rich cultural heritage, and pride in our village.

However, our work is not complete. Many communities in the Chicago region have experienced increasing or continuing segregation by race and income. These regional forces continue to threaten the core values of our village. Thus, we recognize that there is still an acute need for programs and organizations that will ensure that Oak Park remains an inclusive community of opportunity. As a result, we will continue to enjoy the benefits of our wonderful neighborhoods, excellent schools, top-notch services, and a sense of place.

The organizations and individuals participating in Housing Oak Park (HOP) have identified the following issues as major areas of concern that warrant special attention by the citizens and the elected officials of the Village of Oak Park.
