To support a variety of housing and community development activities aimed at improving the quality-of-life for Kane County residents, with a focus on affordable housing services, neighborhood infrastructure, public facility improvements, emergency shelter services, and planning or capacity-building initiatives.
The Community Development Fund was established by the Kane County Board in 1998 with funds provided annually by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The overall goal of the program is to foster vibrant and livable communities by addressing housing needs, improving neighborhoods, and expanding economic opportunities for low- and moderate-income residents. Twenty-four municipalities participate in Kane County's Community Development Program, which provides “gap" funding for a wide array of projects and programs that improve the quality-of-life for area residents.
