Will County, through the Community Development
Department, has both supported and itself undertaken several needs
assessment activities within the past five years to provide a solid
planning base moving into the new century. Applying the knowledge
gained from this extensive research and incorporating the assistance
of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community
Development Block Grant and HOME Investment Partnerships Grant programs,
Will County herein sets forth its plan to provide decent housing,
a suitable living environment, economic opportunities, and homeless
assistance for its citizens from 2005-2009.
As part of a merger with the Land Use
Department in December of 2006, the Community Development Division
began supervising the Code Enforcement Section and Zoning Enforcement
Section.
