36th Ward 2022 Budget Survey on the City's 2022 Budget and American Rescue Plan Funds
Over the next 2 years, the City of Chicago will receive approximately $1.9 billion from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in effort to help the City recover from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, the following are some acceptable uses for ARPA funding:  assistance to households, businesses, nonprofits, and industries such as hospitality and tourism; paying essential employees or grants to their employers; and other aid to impacted industries.

As valued community members of the 36th Ward, we want to hear how YOU would like ARPA funding to be used. Please submit this survey on or before, Thursday, September 23, 2021. Every submitted survey is important and will be included within the upcoming budget discussions, especially, as Alderman Villegas advocates funding priorities for this year's budget season.

Please keep in mind that the City Council does NOT approve the budgets of sister agencies like Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago Park District, and the City Colleges. Each of these entities have a separate budget process.

On behalf of the 36th Ward Team, we thank you in advance and we look forward to receiving your survey submissions!  #YourVoiceOurCommittment

In early 2021, women's workforce participation decreased at an alarming rate not seen in more than 3 decades.  Some experts have attributed this decline to the child care crisis. Should the City use ARPA funds to provide affordable child care to middle and low-income families?
Clear selection
Should the City use ARPA funds to provide new and/or additional support for violence prevention or violence interruption programs?
Clear selection
Throughout the pandemic, many mental health providers experienced exceptionally long waitlists, making it challenging for patients to access mental health services at a time where many are experiencing increased trauma. Should the City use ARPA funds to help more Chicagoans access affordable mental health care?
Clear selection
During 2020, the number of individuals who reached out to the Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline increased by 2,738%.  Should the City use ARPA funds to better ensure victims and survivors of domestic violence have access to housing, counseling, and legal services?
Clear selection
It is predicted there will be a looming “eviction cliff” once the statewide eviction ban is lifted. Chicago advocates predict up to 2x as many annual evictions in the next few years then experienced in the first half of the decade. Should the City use ARPA funds to provide additional rental assistance and housing stabilization?
Clear selection
The pandemic revealed and furthered existing inequalities experienced most often by low-income communities and communities of color,  should the City use ARPA funds for programs or initiatives that help address these inequalities?
