Background
In 2023, CHA announced the Restore Home initiative seeking up to $50,000,000 to renovate long vacant buildings and returning them to occupancy. This encompassed both single family homes and multi-family buildings. The initiative was approved at the December 2023 Board meeting to accomplish this goal by Q2 2025.
As a part of Restore Home, 4008-14 South Prairie Avenue is a 1960s brick 3-story/ 24-unit building that has been fully vacant for almost 6 years. The scope of the project includes the complete interior renovation of the 24 apartments and upgrades to the building exterior and landscaping. This renovation will include full electrical modernization of the property in compliance with the Chicago Energy Transformation Code.
Most importantly, this renovation will support CHA's mission, vision and values.
