West Elsdon Civic Association is a community group in West Elsdon, Chicago, Illinois. It lobbies for street improvements and other community goals.
During World War II growth in West Elsdon resumed, and the West Elsdon Civic Association was founded.
The West Elsdon Civic Association was one of the first political enemies of the Chicago Housing Authority and its first executive secretary, Elizabeth Wood. Residents in the area remained strongly opposed to public housing. In the early 1970s the West Elsdon Civic Association was an active participant in the “No-CHA” citywide coalition opposing scattered-site public housing in predominantly middle-class white neighborhoods.
