The Village of Maywood is proud to join a new peer-learning cohort led by the National League of Cities’ (NLC) to reduce the inequitable and harmful impacts of fines and fees on residents’ financial health. Maywood, IL joins seven other cities across the nation as part of the Cities Addressing Fines and Fees Equitably (CAFFE) initiative to address property tax rates.

 Participating cities will engage in peer learning opportunities, virtual and in person. In addition, participants will receive tailored technical assistance from NLC staff and national content experts to help advance the city's efforts in expanding economic opportunities for low-to-moderate-income families through policy reforms and access to financial services.
