Rogers Park – Community of Opportunity - Housing
(10/1/1999 - 11/30/2002)
CURL supported six community-based organizations to create a collaboration to develop and implement policies to maintain and create affordable housing in Rogers Park. This was one of the projects in a 3-year initiative funded by HUD’s COPC grant.
A housing database was updated along with assessment of at-risk buildings and completed initial research as outlined by the coalition. A report, “Gentrification and Affordable Housing in Rogers Park: Community of Change - Community of Opportunity,” was produced.
