LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
We are pleased to submit the 2017 Second Quarter Progress Report, which presents the Department of Planning and Development's progress on the goals set forth in Bouncing Back, the City's Five-Year Housing Plan covering the years 2014-18.
During the second quarter of 2017 the City approved funding for seven multi-family development projects containing over 500 units and passed legislation co create a new homebuyer assistance program for Chicago police officers, fire fighters and paramedics.
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is the lead agency for the City's affordable housing, housing preservation and homebuyer assistance programs. DPD also promotes economic development by helpÂing existing businesses grow and attracting new industry to the city, and it coordinates all of our zoning, land use planning, sustainabiliry and historic preservation initiatives.
With the resolution of the two-year budget impasse in Springfield and the Chicago housing market's acceleratÂing recovery from the 2007-8 collapse, we are now beginning to see a resurgence in production levels for the affordable housing programs of our department. But we at DPD could not succeed in our work without the ongoing support and cooperation of our community partners that serve Chicago's neighborhoods, together with elected officials, state and federal agencies and other community stakeholders. Through these efforts, we will continue to move forward in creating and preserving affordable housing for the people of Chicago.
