This grant will allow Mercy Housing Lakefront to implement housing and economic development goals throughout Chicago in 2013. Specifically, MHL will begin or complete predevelopment work and project management for five affordable housing projects within in the Austin, Pullman, Uptown, North Lawndale and Little Village communities.
