Organizers of the “One Stop Shop” program to provide energy efficiency upgrades to affordable housing units gave the committee an update on their work.

Bob Dean, chief executive officer of the Center for Neighborhood Technology, one of three organizations involved in the project, said they hope to start taking on home improvement projects this summer.

The project, funded with $1 million from the city’s American Rescue Plan Act grant, has experienced some operational challenges, Robbie Marcus of the Evanston Development Cooperative said, mainly in lining up contractors to participate in the program, given the competition for their services.
