Read more in a joint press release.  CMAP and CAFHA would like to work with local governments that wish to address these issues proactively;  contact Kendra Smith (ksmith@cmap.illinois.gov or 312-386-8774).  The report can also help communities capitalize on pending requirements for U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant recipients.  Both organizations are seeking funding to support these efforts moving forward.
