Please wear a mask to protect everyone. Health data from the IDPH and CDPH shows that Illinois is having a steady increase of COVID in several counties outside of Cook County . The City continues to track COVID increases, and new data is available here .

The City has modified the Expanded Outdoor Dining Program that will make it easier for bars, taverns and breweries affected by the latest rollback of the reopening guidelines to operate outdoors. Establishments that serve alcohol without a Retail Food License may apply to use this program to operate on the sidewalk and all restaurants and bars may use the permit in outdoor areas that would typically require an Outdoor Patio License.  Details for establishments are available through BACP and will be shared with all licensees. If you are patronizing an establishment of any kind, please wear a mask at all possible times.
The Chicago Dept. of Housing and Family Independence Initiative (FII) have started a second round of the COVID-19 Housing Assistance Grants of $33 million, to help impacted Chicagoans with rent and mortgage payments. You can apply here at the Chicago Housing Assistance Portal.
