In March 2017, only 8% of the 17,000 demolished households had been replaced with mixed-income units. In 2015, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development criticized the Chicago Housing Authority for accumulating a cash reserve of $440 million at a time when more than a quarter million people were on the agency's waiting list for affordable housing, and a large number of units (16%) remained vacant. While demolition began almost immediately, CHA was slow to develop mixed-income units or provide Section 8 vouchers as planned. The Plan for Transformation has also been plagued with problems. The plan includes the rehabilitation of other scattered-site, senior, and lower-density properties construction of mixed-income housing increasing economic sales around CHA developments and providing educational and job training to residents with Section 8 vouchers.
In April 2013, CHA created Plan Forward, the next phase of redeveloping public housing in Chicago. In 2000, the CHA began its Plan For Transformation, which called for the demolition of all of its gallery high-rise buildings and proposed a renovated housing portfolio totaling 25,000 units. The previously ordered receivership ended in 2010. After an extensive overhaul, management of the CHA was returned to a new board of commissioners, including three residents appointed by resident groups, in 1999. The situation was so dire that the entire CHA board of commissioners resigned in 1995, effectively handing over control of the agency to Housing and Urban Development. The Chicago Housing Authority Police Department was created in 1989 to provide dedicated policing for what had become one of the most impoverished and crime-ridden housing developments in the country, and was dissolved only ten years later. Things continued to deteriorate for the agency and its residents, and by the 1980s, the high concentrations of poverty and neglected infrastructure were severe. Chicago Housing Authority (see below), the CHA was placed in receivership, which would last for more than 20 years.
After the landmark court decision Gautreaux v. In 1965, a group of residents sued the CHA for racial discrimination. By 1960, it was the largest landlord in Chicago.
In addition to providing affordable housing for low-income families and combating blight, it also provided housing for industry workers during World War II and returning veterans after the war. The CHA was created in 1937 to own and operate housing built by the federal government's Public Works Administration.
