LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Wc are pleased to submit the 2016 Third Quarter Progress Report, which presents the Department of Planning and Development's progress on the goals set forth in the City's Fivc-Ycar Housing Plan, Bouncing Back, which covers the years 2014-18.
During the third quarter of 2016 the City approved financing for six multi-family development projects and authorized the expansion of two major TIP-fundcd housing assistance programs.
The Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is the lead agency for the City's affordable housing, housing preservation and homcbuycr 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.
As we have noted previously, the lack ot a long-term solution to the State's budget issues has been a growing problem for both local government and our community partners that provide housing services in Chicago's neighborhoods. In the face of these concerns, we at DPD are particularly grateful for 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 and promoting economic development for the people of Chicago.
