Rebuilding a community: Empty lots on South and West sides to be turned into affordable homes
Thousands of lots have been sitting empty for years in neighborhoods on Chicago's South and West sides, but ground is breaking on new affordable homes.
"These are blighted communities. They were food deserts," Meeks said."Nothing can happen there but bad stuff, and so we want to revitalize that. We want to change some of these communities. It has to start somewhere. It starts right here on this lot, and it starts right now." The project will reclaim and rebuild on Chicago's empty lots. Work started in 2019 with the aim of building 2,000 affordable single family homes on the South and West sides. "Block by block, so that we can see neighborhoods revitalized and we have momentum to build off of," Totsch said.
