Kedzie–Homan was named Kedzie until the early 1990s, when the name was changed to Kedzie–Homan. However, signs on the platform still referred to the station as Kedzie until 2013, when signs with Kedzie-Homan were installed.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}}
In 2000–2001, Kedzie–Homan was renovated with a number of improvements for $2.6 million. The improvements included making the station handicapped accessible by modifying the entrance ramps, brighter lighting, new doors, and a redesigned entryway to improve passenger flow.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.transitchicago.com/cta-marks-official-opening-of-homan-entrance-at-blue-line-kedzie-station/|title=CTA MARKS OFFICIAL OPENING OF HOMAN ENTRANCE AT BLUE LINE KEDZIE STATION|date=23 March 2001|accessdate=27 April 2020|publisher=[[Chicago Transit Authority]]}}</ref>
