Chicago Department of Housing

This week, Commissioner Casta?eda joined WTTW/Chicago PBS for a panel discussion on homelessness and the housing crisis. We're glad to have opportunities to engage with the community on this important topic and share the work DOH is doing to expand affordable housing options across Chicago. #WTTWFirsthand #AffordableHousing #ChicagoHousing

Last week, Sarah's Circle cut the ribbon on their new complex that provides 28 apartments and wraparound services to women who’ve experienced homelessness. DOH was pleased to contribute $8mil in grants and $1.5mil in Donation Tax Credits to help bring this project to life! https://lnkd.in/gCkeHtHm

Exciting News: Today, we officially closed on the North Hotel – soon to become the new home of La Casa Norte’s youth non-congregate shelter! This space will provide private rooms and essential support for young people in need, giving them a safe, stable place to rebuild, dream, and thrive. I couldn’t be more proud of the team and everyone who helped make this possible. Together, we’re taking one more step toward creating a brighter, more hopeful future for Chicago’s youth. Thank you to the Chicago Department of Housing, all our partners, supporters, and friends who believe in this vision. Stay tuned for more updates as we start transforming this space! #HopeForYouth #LaCasaNorte #PowerOfHousing

DOH's Commissioner had the pleasure of speaking at the Lazarus Pulaski ribbon-cutting in North Lawndale. Our commitment to this development goes back to 1994 - when we funded their initial rehab. Thanks for having us back!
