CHICAGO HOUSING AUTHORITY

The Chicago Housing Authority provides homes to more than 65,000 households while supporting healthy communities in neighborhoods throughout the city. Our mission is to create and sustain strong communities where seniors thrive and everyone can unlock their economic power. We envision a thriving city where every neighborhood has quality affordable housing and everyone feels welcome.
CHA is much more than bricks and mortar. It's also about supporting families as they strive to reach their potential. For young people especially, CHA offers a number of afterschool and summer learning programs that provide public housing and HCV youth with opportunities to learn about college and careers, participate in paid internships and work experiences as well as community service projects, and develop employability skills.
