Chicago’s Department of Housing is pushing for the creation of affordable, permanent supportive housing for individuals recently released from incarceration, survivors of gender-based violence and those who are on the cusp of homelessness.
Marisa Novara, the city’s commissioner for the Department of Housing, made the announcement Tuesday during a speech at the City Club of Chicago that was also livestreamed. The department is starting the process of seeking proposals for the low-income housing tax credit program, which helps fund the development of affordable housing.
