The first campaign that SSN was ever involved in was the campaign to save Grove Parc Plaza, the Section 8 housing development between 61st and 63rd St on Cottage Grove Avenue. After a long fight concluding in a sit-in at the offices of HUD, the tenants' association successfully lobbied for the complex to be taken over by POAH (Preservation of Affordable Housing), a non-profit based in Boston. Since then, plans have been drawn up to redevelop Grove Parc whilst preserving all of the affordable units.
In this interview with Chicago Public Radio, the architect for the new Grove Parc discusses the plans.
