Quality of Life Planning in Little Village is a dynamic process aimed at enhancing the overall well-being of the community. This comprehensive approach involves various stakeholders and is driven by a shared vision for a healthier, safer, and more prosperous neighborhood. The planning process actively engages community leaders, residents, and organizations, uniting them to identify and address key priorities. These priorities encompass areas such as arts and culture, economic development, education, green spaces, health, housing, immigration, and safety. In 2023, the community is intensifying its focus on these priorities through an intersectional approach, leveraging collaborative networks and partnerships. Increased focus on built environment and development opportunities will expand the impact of this plan over previous versions. Evaluation is also weaved into the planning process with an understanding that by intentionally thinking through evaluation and developing capacity now, will increase the quality of ongoing, meaningful evaluation efforts throughout implementation.
