The Superblock, a series of replacement public housing units on the Near West Side, may be leased.
The Chicago Housing Authority is seeking permission from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Affairs to potentially lease out the Major Adams Community Center, a longtime Near West Side institution at 125 N. Hoyne.
And, the agency, may lease or transfer a block of replacement public housing between Lake, Damen, Leavitt and an alley north of Washington street to another operator.
Both property dispositions are included in a list of amendments the housing authority has proposed to the plan that CHA submits each year to HUD. View that document, in PDF form, here.
The housing authority has scheduled a public comment meeting about amendments to its plan for March 22, at the Charles Hayes Center, 4859 S. Wabash.
Chicago Journal published a story about the future of the "Superblock" - as the area between Lake, Damen, Leavitt and the alley is often called - last December.
