A five-year housing plan for the city of Chicago put forward by Mayor Rahm Emanuel passed out of the City Council Committee on Housing and Real Estate Tuesday amid questions from aldermen and community activists about the Chicago Housing Authority’s performance in creating public housing units.
The most recent iteration of Chicago’s five-year housing plan, which the city has compiled since the 1990s, includes $1.3 billion in planned projects covering the creation or maintenance of 40,000 units of housing.
