Dolton trustees adopt 'Dalton United Housing' ordinance establishing new housing program
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted Ordinance 269001 to add Chapter 12 to Title 8, creating the Dalton United Housing program. Trustee Norwood said resident concerns were addressed and the housing committee will set application dates and next steps.
The Dolton Village Board voted Feb. 2 to adopt Ordinance 269001, amending Title 8 of the municipal code to establish the Dalton United Housing program.
Trustee Brittany Norwood, who introduced the item, said the ordinance reflects months of discussion and revisions after hearing residents' concerns. "This is the housing program that we've been discussing for the last few months," Norwood said, adding that the board had made changes in response to resident feedback and would convene a housing committee meeting to lay out application dates and implementation steps.
The motion to adopt the ordinance was made, seconded, and approved by roll call with all trustees recorded as voting in favor. The ordinance record on the public agenda lists the motion as "amending Title 8 of the Village Code and adding Chapter 12, establishing the Dalton United Housing program." Trustee Norwood told colleagues the next action is for the housing committee to finalize application dates and procedures.
The public record at the meeting did not include the full ordinance text or specific eligibility criteria; trustees said those details will be addressed in forthcoming housing-committee meetings and public notices.
The board's approval means the village can move forward with the administrative steps needed to accept applications once the committee sets dates and rules.
A housing committee meeting is expected soon to outline housekeeping rules, application windows and resident outreach.
