LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
We are pleased to submit the 2014 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 fifth Five-Year Housing Plan covering the years 2014-2018.
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is the lead agency for the City's affordable housing, housing preservation and homebuyer assistance programs. In the first two quarters of 2014 the Department committed over $110 million to support 4,635 units of affordable housing. This represents 42% of our annual resource allocation goal and 56% of our units assisted goal.
During the second quarter the Department approved financing for two multi-family development projects; scheduled two informational workshops for community organizations on the receivership process for vacant and abandoned buildings; and cosponsored a Housing Resource Fair for property owners, renters and prospective homebuyers on the Northwest Side.
Once again, we would like to thank our many partners for their continued support and participation. We at DPD could not succeed in our work without the ongoing support and cooperation of these valued partners-neighborhood and business groups, elected officials, state and federal agencies, and other community stakeholders. Through our combined efforts, we will continue to move forward in creating, preserving and supporting affordable housing for the people of Chicago.
