When the Chicago Housing Authority launched its ambitious Plan for Transformation in 2000, it started tearing down public housing complexes in earnest and offering residents a “right to return,” basically a right to end up back in public housing in a mixed-income community. 

According to a new WBEZ investigative report, 17 years and $3 billion later, less than eight percent of the households promised mixed-income housing actually got it. Morning Shift talks to WBEZ’s Natalie Moore about the report, in which she compares the Plan for Transformation’s stated goals and promises with reality.
