Preserving Affordable Homes for Chicago Residents
Two-to-four-unit multi-family homes, which make up the bulk of affordable housing for low-income residents in Chicago, are being lost to deterioration, demolition, vacancy and abandonment—causing families to be displaced and move farther away from jobs, schools and health care. Enterprise is collaborating with State Farm, the City of Chicago, Cook County Land Bank Authority, Institute of Housing at DePaul University, and Communities United to scale a new and proven community-based preservation model in neighborhoods across the city, keeping homes and families in place for years to come.
