CHICAGO ~ Chicago City Council Approves Missing Middle Housing Initiative, Sparking Construction of 18 Three-Flats in East and West Garfield Park
In a move to revitalize and repopulate neighborhoods in Chicago, the City Council has approved ordinances introduced by Mayor Brandon Johnson that will kickstart the construction of 18 three-flats in East and West Garfield Park. This initiative, known as the Missing Middle infill housing program, aims to fill vacant lots with new homes and create opportunities for both current and new residents.
Mayor Johnson expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating that "repopulating our communities is essential to the future of Chicago." He believes that by filling vacant lots with new homes, the city can provide opportunities for current residents to stay in their community, while also attracting new residents and promoting growth in neighborhoods like East and West Garfield Park.

The projects, which represent a collective investment of $18.1 million, will receive $150,000 per unit in City assistance through Mayor Johnson's $1.25 billion Housing and Economic Development (HED) Bond. This funding will help make these homes more affordable for working people.
In East Garfield Park, the Westside Community Group will lead an $8.1 million project to replace four vacant lots on the 3800 block of W. Washington Blvd and W. End Ave with seven three-flat apartment buildings. Meanwhile, in West Garfield Park, the Garfield Together Partnership will construct 11 three-flats totaling $10 million on six vacant lots on the 3300 and 3400 blocks of W. Monroe St. and W. Adams St.
The Missing Middle program is a key part of Mayor Johnson's strategy to repopulate neighborhoods throughout Chicago by utilizing vacant City land and HED financing to facilitate construction of contemporary, medium-density housing that has been lacking in South and West Side communities due to decades of disinvestment.

This program offers City-owned lots for $1 and HED funds to empower minority-owned developers to create homes with purchase prices that are in line with market rates. With the approval of these projects, the initiative now includes over 100 Missing Middle buildings containing more than 300 homes across the West and South Side, with a total project cost of over $11 million.
Mayor Johnson remains committed to delivering more affordable homes and supporting projects that drive economic vitality in East and West Garfield Park, as well as communities across Chicago. The Johnson administration has made it a priority to build a larger, more diverse housing stock and provide thousands of new affordable homes to make Chicago more accessible for working people.
