NEW: A key Chicago City Council panel voted Thursday to reject efforts to ban video gambling from bars and restaurants in six wards, defying the decades-old tradition that gives alderpeople the final authority over licensing in their own wards. @wttw news.wttw.com/2026/03/12/key…

My God.

We are thrilled to start extensive renovations at Corcoran Place, 94 affordable senior apartments in Chicago's Austin neighborhood. Thanks to HUD, the Illinois Housing Development Authority, Hudson Housing Capital and others for making this happen.

More building on the West Side! Congrats to Melvin Bailey and everyone involved in this important development. Can't wait to see even more of this. North Lawndale housing development breaks ground as part of Chicago's Missing Middle initiative chicago.suntimes.com/real-estate/20…

Closed!! Corcoran Place apartments in Chicago set for major rehab after POAH's closing on full recapitalization. Long-term improvements and more affordability. Thanks to IHDA, HUD, Hudson Capital, and to all of our partners. And to POAH's great team. Happy holidays indeed!

Thanks to Ald. Angela Clay (46) for helping celebrate the completion of work at Heart of Uptown Apartments (HUPA), the preservation of 103 affordable homes. Thanks also to our partner Voice of the People, IHDA and the City of Chicago for major support. And our amazing team.

Love this. Affordable homeownership is critical to a diverse city. Special kudos to Bill Williams and KMW, POAH's partner on two other deals. Affordable housing push for first-time buyers on the West Side is seeing early results chicago.suntimes.com/real-estate/20…

Brand new mosaic mural celebrating Uptown is in process at 927 W. Wilson, part of the Heart of Uptown Apartments, a partnership of POAH and Voice of the People. Thanks to Greenstar Movement for organizing, and the volunteers and residents who helped on the design and creation.

chicago.suntimes.com/health/2025/11… Pretty astonishing reporting about life expectancy from neighborhood to neighborhood in Chicago. 20-year difference between W. Garfield Park and the Loop is the starkest. But there's even an 11-year gap between Hyde Park and Woodlawn, right next door.

We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry.

Congrats to Mike Zar and the team at Daley's Restaurant, a Woodlawn treasure and a great place for breakfast or lunch. You can even take the Green Line right to the front door. Best Soul Food with a Side of Belonging: Daley's Restaurant — Woodlawn – South Side Weekly
