Ripples Throughout the Community<br />
Beyond Cottage Grove Avenue, POAH has expanded its housing efforts on<br />
surrounding streets, buying and renovating nearly two dozen vacant and abandoned<br />
buildings with the help of the City of Chicago and the Community Investment<br />
Corporation. Across the neighborhood, POAH has created 400 – plus more market<br />
and affordable rental opportunities.<br />
POAH’s significant investments are inspiring confidence in other community and<br />
educational institutions to invest as well. Woodlawn welcomed a new University of<br />
Chicago dormitory on 60 th Street, a block east of Cottage Grove Avenue and the<br />
Logan Center for the Arts at 915 E. 60 th Street.<br />
Nearly 50 new single-family and townhomes are planned to begin construction <strong>by</strong><br />
well-known developers such as Greenline, Fleishman/Steel and KMW.<br />
POAH’s participation in Renew Woodlawn, a partnership with Neighborhood<br />
Housing Services in West Woodlawn, identifies prospective home buyers and<br />
provides them with funds for renovations and a discounted purchase price for<br />
existing, architecturally significant neighborhood homes.
