Chicago's housing crisis, marked by insecurity, homelessness, and high vacancy rates, impacts low-income families. Despite the Chicago Housing Authority's scattered-site program, over 200,000 people face a 20-year wait for housing. The Mayor and City Council have called on the Committee on Housing and Real Estate to hold a hearing on CHA's action plan, and CEO Tracey Scott to testify about the vacancies.
