Counseling program aims to shift Section 8 housing away from south suburbs
A new effort in South Suburban Cook County seeks to reduce density of subsidized housing there. The program, led by Housing Choice Partners Illinois and funded by HACC, guides 61 families to consider other Chicago area neighborhoods with growth and job opportunities. The approach mirrors the scattered-site requirement from the 1971 Gatreaux decision to counter pockets of poverty and racial segregation.
