Like all urban centers adapting to a changing global economy, faces new challenges in meeting the demand for affordable housing.

CHA CEO Eugene Jones, Jr. will discuss how the Authority has expanded its voucher program and stepped up its development efforts, which together, with strong community partnerships, have allowed for steady innovation and collaboration. Since its inception, the CHA's mission has been rooted in building Chicago's communities by creating greater access and opportunity through housing and economic development initiatives.
