Activists and Chicago Housing Authority residents are pushing for the replacement of the CHA leadership, saying more than 200,000 people sit on the waiting list for public housing.
About 30 protesters gathered at CHA’s office downtown Tuesday to call on Mayor Brandon Johnson to back their demands and replace the housing authority’s board and CEO Tracey Scott. A group of activists penned a letter to Johnson last week, saying current leadership “lacks vision and desire” to help more families.
