Congratulations to the Chicago Housing Authority and Michaels Development company on the Re-Grand Opening of Irene McCoy Gaines Apartments! Today, we celebrate the reopening of this 17-story, 150-unit senior living building in East Garfield Park. Originally built in 1964, the Irene McCoy Gaines Apartments have been fully renovated, with updated HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, plus new community spaces that enhance residents' quality of life. Affordable housing like this helps seniors age well and stay connected to their communities. Named in honor of Irene McCoy Gaines (1892–1964), a pioneering social worker and civil rights advocate, the building is a tribute to her legacy. Gaines, a leader in the Chicago community, was known for her relentless work for affordable housing, anti-discrimination laws, and equal opportunities for African Americans and women. Her impact on housing and civil rights continues to resonate in Chicago and beyond, making this reopening a fitting tribute. A huge thank you to the residents, community leaders, architects, engineers, general contractors, and all partners who made this project possible. A special thank you to our partners Skender and Canopy / architecture + design - your dedication has helped transform this space into a vibrant, affordable home where seniors can live with dignity and support. #AffordableHousing #SeniorLiving #Community #ChicagoHousing #Legacy #ThankYou #Collaboration #Advocacy
