BGA releases findings in Cabrini-Green redevelopment investigation

[@PrincessPink433]

The man you’re interviewing is leaving out a large part of CHA’s early history and how it came to be the way it is today. Residents weren’t “forced” to live there, nor were they “segregated”. Many voluntarily moved into the housing projects as a means of escaping the extreme violence and poverty of their previous neighborhoods. Furthermore, the residents were also responsible for the deteriorating conditions of the projects after officials fired CHA director Elizabeth Wood for her progressive ideas that involved reforming black families. I believe mayor Daley played a role in her termination so he’s not the good guy you’re portraying him to be. Anyway, after she was fired, the new CHA leadership started to decline, along with the quality of housing and their residents because of poor screening practices, among other factors. When Elizabeth Wood was in charge families had two parent households, both parents worked and had stable income, and residents took care of the property and each other. There was a strong sense of community, family and morality. So reconstructing affordable housing is fine, but this time make sure that we rebuild the community and adopt her policies again. This will lead to lasting change for affordable housing. If I’m elected Chicago mayor, I refuse to support this reconstruction unless those terms are met. Believe me, you’re going to need my support.

I did the Census last year. I visited what was left of the projects, the Cambridge Homes, and enumerated whoever answered the door. They had that mural for Janari Ricks on the fence behind me. I stopped by Holy Family Church and worked there too. I never set foot in the Cabrini projects in the 90’s or early 00’s. I went to New City YMCA occasionally, that was as close as I would get. I don’t know what to think about it, but knowing about the past, I was shocked by the stories I used to hear.

I’d like to know if you were alive and were actually exposed to the times during the earlier periods around the beginning or at least the early 70s through to at least the late 80s early 90s era of the Cabrini Green or Chicago housing projects in general. And, living in the Chicagoland area.
