The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. and the Chicago Aldermanic Black Caucus have arranged for the Cook County Treasurer’s Office to help homeowners with their property tax problems at a community center in East Garfield Park, building on the success of an ongoing

Treasurer’s Office employees with laptops will help homeowners:
- Apply for $44 million in missing senior citizen property tax exemptions
- Search for $79 million in available refunds
- Learn what to do if their property taxes are delinquent
