The University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Urban Economic Development (UICUED) held a series of meetings with community-based organizations and community residents in the Austin neighborhood during 1994. Austin is a primarily African-American community of almost 100,000 people on the far West Side of Chicago with many pockets of poverty and attendant social ills.

A Report of The City of Chicago Strategic Neighborhood Action Program
The University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Urban Economic Development (CUED) was requested by the City of Chicago's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) to assist them in evaluating the process and impact of the Strategic Neighborhood Action Program (SNAP). The SNAP, a City initiative begun in 1992, targets resources for housing and business development in selected low-income communities.
