Homeownership Rehabilitation Program
Fall 1997
The Resurrection Project (TRP) has developed a variety of housing programs
in the Pilsen community, including: subsidized single family home-ownership
residences
through New Homes for Chicago; rehabilitation of affordable multifamily
rental buildings; and assistance to homeowners to
repair their own older properties. In a further attempt to assist the
community’s homeowners, TRP asked the City Design Center to study
potential individual homeownership rehabilitation subsidy programs and
standards for housing unit rehabilitation. The study uncovered one program,
in particular, that has promise for Pilsen: the development of a non-profit
cooperative construction group to aid in the community’s rehabilitation
projects.
