- Wilmette is more than 400 unites short of an affordable housing target set by a new state law, and creating more in coming years will be a matter of pushing developers to include lower-price units in their plans, and possibly levying a tax on teardowns, according to a village-sponsored study still under way. The Affordable Housing Planning and ppeal Act went into effect January 1, 2004 and requires minicipalities to have 10% of their housing stock affordable to moderate or low income levels or to have plans for increasing those units in future development. Comments by resident, Anne Leary, John Adler, the community development coordinator and Gail Schechter, director of the Interfaith Housing Center of the Northern Suburbs.
