  • A Look Back on Eight Years of Progress
    MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD: A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL MOVING CHICAGO FORWARD • A LOOK BACK ON EIGHT YEARS OF PROGRESS LETTER FROM THE MAYOR May 2, 2019 Dear Fellow Chicagoans, It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the people of this great city as mayor for eight years. Together, we have addressed longstanding challenges, overcome old obstacles and confronted new headwinds. At the outset of my administration, Chicago was beset by fiscal, economic and academic crises. Many thought our best days were behind us, and that the ingenuity and ability to rise to meet great challenges that had defined our city for generations was part of our past, but not our future. In response, Chicagoans came together and showed the resolve and resilience that define the character of this great city. Today, Chicago’s fiscal health is stronger than it has been in many years, with a smaller structural deficit, a larger rainy day fund, true and honest accounting of city finances, and dedicated recurring revenues for all four city pension funds. Our economic landscape is dramatically improved, with historic lows in unemployment, the highest level of jobs per-capita in the city in over five decades, and a record amount of corporate relocations and foreign direct investment. Academically, Chicago’s students are raising the bar for success and making our city proud. Every year for the past seven, a new record number of Chicago’s students have graduated high school. More graduates than ever now go to college. Stanford University found CPS students are learning faster than 96 percent of students of all districts in the United States.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Kimberley Rudd, 773-213-6325 October 12, 2017 Katrina Waddy, 312-545-7392 [email protected] GRANTS TOPPING $400,000 AWARDED TO 14 COMMUNITY-BASED NONPROFIT GROUPS TO LAUNCH RANGE OF EQUITY PROJECTS NEAR TRANSIT STATIONS New citywide collaborative encourages equitable transit-oriented development CHICAGO, Ill. – Fourteen community-based nonprofit organizations in Chicago are the first recipients of grants from L-Evated Chicago and Enterprise Community Partners as part of a new initiative that intends to strengthen racial equity, prosperity and resiliency in neighborhoods by using transit-oriented development as the catalyst for progress and change. The initiative, L-Evated Chicago, is a growing collaborative that is leading community-based transformations in areas around the city’s train system. It’s working to create opportunity and connections for residents by focusing on four key areas: racial equity; health; climate change and environmental issues; and arts and culture. Enterprise Community Partners, a national organization that supports the development of well- designed, affordable and diverse communities, is a founder partner of L-Evated Chicago. Since 2014, its Chicago office has provided $2.5 million dollars in grants to the Chicago region. L-Evated Chicago’s work has started around seven transit stations along the CTA’s Green, Pink and Blue lines: 63rd/Cottage (Green); 55th/Garfield (Green); 51st (Green); Kedzie (Green); California (Pink); Logan Square (Blue); and Kedzie/Homan Square (Blue). The first two cohorts of grant recipients are listed below: Capacity-building grants: A total of $330,000 in funding has been awarded to community development organizations to build their capacity, advance transit-oriented development and carry out affordable housing activities that address the needs of low-income households.
