LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
We are pleased to submit the 2015 Second Quarter Progress Report, which presents the Department of Planning and Development's progress on the goals set forth in the City's Five-Year Housing Plan 2014-2018. In the first two quarters of 2015 the Department committed over $151 million to support 5,179 units of affordable housing. This represents 60% of our annual resource allocation goal and 63% of our units assisted goal.
With the Second Quarter Report wc are expanding our reporting on accessible housing units produced under the Multi-Family Rehab and New Construction Program. A new table, found on page 18 of the Appendix, provides a project-by-project breakdown on the types of accessible units that will be created in developments approved for funding under this program. In the second quarter the City approved funding for four multi-family developments.
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is the lead agency for the City's affordable housing, housing preservation and homebuycr assistance programs. DPD also promotes economic development by helping existing businesses grow and attracting new industry to the city, and it coordinates all of our zoning, land use planning, sustainability and historic preservation initiatives.
We at DPD could not succeed in our work without the ongoing support and cooperation of our valued partners—neighborhood and business groups, 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.
