Mandel School’s Amy T. Khare discusses plans to fix up more vacant buildings by Chicago Housing Authority

The Feds sent millions to the CHA for Lathrop homes. After 2 decades, 300 apartments are still empty

Block Club ChicagoAmy T. Khare, research assistant professor and research director at the National Initiative on Mixed-Income Communities, discussed plans from the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) to fix up more vacant buildings at a North Side development. “CHA’s past actions have proven it consistently fails to develop what it originally promises,” Khare said. “I hope advocates for affordable housing will continue to hold the CHA accountable to meet its mission and align with racial justice that is still lacking in the city’s housing arena.”
