Mick Dumke and Tara Stamps listen to Etta Davis share her impressions of the Chicago Housing Authority’s Plan for Transformation at an event at New Life Community Church on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. The Plan for Transformation demolished thousands of public housing units, relocating residents into mixed-income communities to rehabilitate the housing stock of Chicago. The plan has been hotly contested, with many claiming that after 25 years, the plan is far from fulfilling its promise. Panelists included Mick Dumke, investigative editor for Block Club Chicago, Etta Davis, Vice President of the Dearborn Homes Local Advisory Council and a leader of the Lugenia Burns Hope Center, Tara Stamps, Chicago’s 1st District County Commissioner and J.L Gross, Chair of the Preserve Lathrop Campaign at the Lathrop Homes. The event also included a screening of the film 70 Acres in Chicago about the Cabrini Green housing complex, by filmmaker Ronit Bezalel. 📸: morganashleykirsch for 14eastmag #chicago...
