The end time of this assignment is an estimate based on past meeting durations.
Assignment 1:1s We are developing more spaces for Documenters to connect with staff (India, Grace or Natalie) for one-on-one for assignment-specific support and verbal feedback. These calls are optional but highly encouraged for new Documenters, to connect what you learned in our orientation/training with an actual assignment (more experienced Documenters are also welcome to sign up).
Each call usually lasts 15-30 minutes and if you take advantage of them we’ll add the time to your total assignment pay hours.
- Pre-assignment call: walk through how to do pre-research, find relevant meeting information, address other common questions
- Post-assignment call: Debrief your experience, learnings, questions and strategies for next time
If you have the time/interest in doing either/both calls, you can sign up for an assignment one-on-one slot at www.calendly.com/chidocumenters.

Agency Information
Chicago Community Development Commission
The Community Development Commission (CDC) was established by the Chicago City Council in 1992 to assume the duties of the former Commercial District Development Commission and the Department of Urban Renewal. The CDC reviews and recommends action on the provision of Tax Increment Financing (TIF) to assist private redevelopment projects; the designation of new TIF districts and Redevelopment Areas; the sale of City-owned property located in TIF districts and Redevelopment Areas; and the appointment of members to Community Conservation Councils.
Video recordings of past meetings are posted by the Chicago Department of Planning and Development on Youtube.
