Cabrini Now is a community-driven planning and design effort to improve the Cabrini neighborhood through new housing and economic development on CHA properties. This plan will guide what gets built and how investments are made in the area. Cabrini Now is all about making sure your voice is heard! We want to hear from everyone in Cabrini to create a plan that truly reflects what the community wants and needs.
This initiative will:
- Update and build on the existing 2015 community plans and vision in a changing neighborhood context.
- Respond to the current and future affordable housing needs of the neighborhood and Chicago.
- Embrace all voices in the neighborhood and co-create a shared vision for Cabrini’s future.
We want to hear from YOU! We’ll be hosting a series of workshops, surveys, and listening sessions throughout the process.

Background & Additional Resources
On May 8th, approximately 100 community members, including over 30 CHA residents, convened to discuss and provide input on future developments in the area. The project team is set to summarize this valuable feedback and share it with both attendees and the broader public. The insights gathered will guide the creation of revised plans and designs, encompassing new housing, enhanced green spaces, improved transportation, and additional community investments. These draft plans will be presented at upcoming community meetings to gather further feedback and refine the proposals.
