ABSTRACT ONLY.

In 2003 in South Chicago, Ill., Claretian Associates, a nonprofit community development organization, and South Chicago Workforce, a local nonprofit contractor, began construction of the “New Homes for South Chicago III” development. This development, with significant support from the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, takes great steps toward making city-sponsored housing healthy, efficient, and affordable to own and operate.
