38th Street and Chicago Avenue

The 38th and Chicago Corridor Housing Initiative project builds on the work of the 38th and Chicago Avenue Task Force. In early 2006 this task force completed a community development plan. The Corridor Housing Initiative is being coordinated with the next stage of this process, a small area plan.
