Housing that means freedom in Chicago’s mixed income revival
The Chicago Housing Authority led a change from high rise public housing like Cabrini Green to two story mixed income neighborhoods. Oakwood Shores shows residents guiding new builds and demanding drug tests. As of last month almost 2,000 public housing units plus 1,500 market rate and 725 affordable units are in place with high occupancy, new schools and recreation centers. The plan relies on federal HOPE VI funds and private outside financing, and residents say access to daily life in Promontory Point reflects newfound freedom.
