A small portion in the northwest (north of 26th Ave) is in Ward 4, represented by LaTrisha Vetaw.^[4] Willard-Hay is in Legislative District 59B,^[5] represented by State Senator Bobby Joe Champion and State Representative Esther Agbaje.

The Homewood Historic district is located in Willard-Hay, bounded by Plymouth Avenue to the north, Penn Avenue to the east, Oak Park Avenue to the south and Xerxes Avenue to the west. This area was central to the North Side Jewish community beginning in the early 1910s.^[6] It was designated by the city as a historic district on February 28, 2017^[7] due to its rich Jewish history. This designation sparked some controversy among Homewood residents.^[8]^[9]
