Dubbed the “Plan Forward,” the new strategy seeks to build on the recently stalled Plan for Transformation, a $1.6 billion effort launched in 2000 that is responsible for demolishing miles of public housing high-rises in the city and relocating thousands of impoverished families to new neighborhoods while mixed-income communities are built in their old communities.
With 15 percent of the 25,000 public housing units promised in 2000 still incomplete, the CHA is recalibrating its vision for the remaining homes, officials said. Part of that strategy includes creating subsidized units within privately owned buildings (Already in your neighborhoods), an effort that has been under way for about a year.
The updated plan also promises new educational programs, computer labs and security cameras for residents.
