LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
We are pleased to submit the 2016 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, Bouncing Back, which covers the years 2014-18.
During the second quarter of 2016 the City approved funding tor one multi-family development project and began accepting applications for a new citywide program to help working families achieve homeownership by assisting them with down payment and closing costs.
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 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.
Despite the passage of a stopgap budget agreement in Springfield, the lack of a long-term solution to the State's budget issues only exacerbates the problems already facing both local government and our community partners that provide housing services in Chicago's neighborhoods. We at DPD could not succeed in our work without the ongoing support and cooperation of these valued partners, 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.
