Research is needed to quantify a dollar amount sufficient to negate the harm done in order to protect the program from potential lawsuits.
Evanston’s Reparations Committee is looking to gather information to move forward with a direct cash benefit program after City Council unanimously approved the creation of a one last month.
Cummings said he isn’t sure that the city would be able to afford the amount that would be due to each recipient, but that compiling the evidence would help make the case for the direct cash payments and hold up the program if challenged in court.“I know it’s very difficult to try and quantify what kind of harm that is,” he said. “But if we had some number associated with it, I think we would be on solid footing to create a cash benefit program.
“It takes work even to get to this initial restorative housing program,” she said. “There’s a ton of work, research and that work needs to be done.”
