Big opportunities are available right here in our communities.

The Neighborhood Opportunity Fund is now accepting applications to help support commercial development and renovation projects across Chicago’s South and West Sides. Eligible businesses and property owners may qualify for grants covering up to $250,000 in construction and renovation costs.

I encourage local entrepreneurs and community leaders to explore this opportunity and continue investing in the future of our neighborhoods.

Show your support!! This might be our playground next year!

Join us as we celebrate Earth Day by taking action right here in our community.

I’m excited to support the Douglass Park Earth Day Cleanup—a day focused on family, service, and keeping our neighborhood clean and beautiful. This is more than a cleanup, it’s about coming together, building pride in our spaces, and showing what community care looks like.
Bring the whole family out, meet your neighbors, and be part of something meaningful.

🗓 Saturday, April 18
⏰ 9 AM – 1 PM

Let’s show up for our parks and for each other. All ages are welcome!
