 effective ways to reach out to the community, particularly through job fairs, and
 has been interacting with the Diversity and Inclusion Committee of the
 Naperville Chamber of Commerce.

 Mr. Smith indicated that the ACTF is exploring options for promoting improved
 visitability requirements for buildings in Naperville, particularly the no-step entry
 requirement. The ACTF has been advocating for more affordable housing for
 those with disabilities and has been discussing options for increasing funding at
 a city level for those with mental illness. They have also been working with the
 Naperville Park District on providing accessible playground equipment.
