CHA mounts $50 million program to fix up scattered sites – Chicago Sun-Times

It involves repairs and in some cases gut rehabs to create 217 housing units in 77 buildings. The vacant properties, many more than 40 years old and with outdated mechanical systems, are among the nearly 900 smaller properties the CHA owns citywide - its “scattered sites” portfolio that dates from when the agency, for years accused of reinforcing racial segregation, was under legal pressure to expand holdings beyond Black neighborhoods.
