Description

A promise of affordable housing sits at 18th and Peoria in Pilsen. It’s the single largest vacant and developable lot in the neighborhood, and the property has changed hands for roughly 20 years. Now the city owns the land and promises to build affordable housing – something community members have been organizing for, for years. WBEZ metro reporter Indira Khera talks about what residents are hoping for, as the city invites them into the planning process.
