New Life Coming To CHA-Owned Pullman Row House Thats Been Vacant For 2 Decades

Chicago, ILLocal News

The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) plans to redevelop a historic row house in Pullman that has stood vacant for two decades. Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives acquired the property for $15,000 to transform it into affordable housing. CHA's interim CEO Angela Hurlock highlighted the significance of such partnerships in expanding housing capacity amid a severe shortage. Renovations are expected to exceed $495,000, marking a substantial investment in the community. Work on the property is slated to begin this fall, with hopes of readying it for occupancy by next summer.

This initiative aligns with the city’s Rebuild 2. 0 program, which focuses on revitalizing disinvested neighborhoods. So far, CHA has completed renovations on 133 units across 44 buildings as part of this effort. Hurlock noted that while progress is being made, the initiative faces delays, with renovations expected to continue into 2027.
