Project Description
The purpose of the consortium was to create an affordable housing coalition to help existing neighborhood community development corporations expand their capacity. Through this program, faculty and graduate students from the University's College of Urban Planning and Policy and the School of Architecture worked with Community Development Corporations (CDCs) served the Pilsen and Near West Side neighborhoods by sharing resources and expertise to improve housing conditions and enhance housing development efforts. One of the goals of this program was to document and share the lessons and experience gained in Pilsen and the Near West Side, which typify the many older inner-city neighborhoods in need of housing improvements.
