MPC Releases New Progress Report on CHA's Plan for Transformation

The July 2004 CHA Plan for Transformation Progress Report explores the status and prospects of the different communities created or directly affected by the Plan, offering updated data on development and rehabilitation activity, as well as public housing residents relocation

The impact of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) Plan for Transformation, now approaching the midpoint of its scheduled completion, is creating new communities and improving existing ones. This historic Plan is expected to create opportunities for all Chicago area residents, from public housing residents moving into new redeveloped or rehabbed apartments, to renters and buyers investing in homes built as part of the many mixed-income communities envisioned in the Plan. For a summary of a recent "Building Successful Mixed-Income Communities" forum on economic development (retail and jobs), click here

The overall success of the CHA Plan for Transformation will be gauged by the viability of the communities created or directly affected by it, namely:

(a) the new mixed-income communities comprised of public housing residents alongside affordable and market-rate tenants and homeowners;

(b) the scattered sites and renovated older buildings comprised primarily of public housing residents; and

(c) the “destination communities,” where public housing residents whose homes are being redeveloped or rehabbed relocate using Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs).

MPC's new report looks at the status of these different communities, their challenges, and their opportunities.
