Lawsuit Challenging Lake Village Housing Plan
Southeast Chicago Commission and a list of plaintiffs sue over FHA approval of Lake Village with 20 percent over income units. They seek to force federal reconsideration while noting delays and potential impact on integration aims and nearby Harper Square project. Shlaes defends the plan as integral to integration and notes ongoing Amalgamated Clothing Workers project nearby.
