The Chief Executive Officer of the Chicago Housing Authority trumpeted on Tuesday a just launched development in the Bronzeville neighborhood as representing “the new direction of CHA.”
“That [direction] is to build more mixed-income housing and build new components of neighborhoods that contribute to vibrant communities,” said CHA head Charles Woodyard at Tuesday’s board meeting. The housing agency has been working for more than a year on revising its 13 year-old Plan for Transformation, which aimed to move public housing tenants into mixed-income residencies.
