The HARVEY BEAUTIFICATION AND COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM
We'd love to have you join us for the Harvey Beautification and Community Empowerment Program
The Harvey Beautification and Community Empowerment Program will launch on March 7, 2026, and run for 30 weeks through September 12, 2026. Program activities will take place every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
This initiative is designed to enhance Harvey’s visual appeal, strengthen community pride, and empower residents through hands‑on engagement. Each week, residents will participate in coordinated ward‑by‑ward cleanup efforts, ensuring that all areas of the city benefit from consistent beautification and maintenance activities.
In addition to cleanup projects, the program will feature a series of DIY improvement activities, skill‑building workshops, and youth empowerment sessions focused on leadership, environmental stewardship, and community service. These components are designed to equip residents of all ages with practical tools, creative approaches, and meaningful opportunities to contribute to Harvey’s long‑term vitality.

RESILIENCE HUB
Cook County is working to establish three resilience hubs in the Southland area, and the Harvey Neighborhood Network is leading the setup of one in Harvey. The hub prepares the community for changing climate conditions and hazard events. It is a location that residents and groups are familiar with, and that they will use during a crisis.
The hub setup is expected to take several years, and it relies on community input. Harvey will be better prepared to help residents during a crisis—for example, finding temporary shelter, food, and clothing during a natural or man-made disaster.
The built-in solutions being planned include energy and green infrastructure improvements, flooding preparedness, and a store of emergency-preparedness materials. The specifics depend on what the Harvey community identifies as most critical. One feature, solar and battery backup, will be at all hub sites so they can keep running “off the grid” during an emergency.
