Let’s Talk About TIF

Published February 17, 2010By Lynn Fazekas

The Sweet Home Chicago Coalition for the Homeless is proposing an ordinance that would require the City of Chicago to dedicate 20% of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds toward affordable housing each year.

Hmmm. Should DeKalb have such an ordinance? How about for job training? Why or why not?
