Abstract

This brief focuses on early resident experiences in two mixed-income developments, Oakwood Shores and Westhaven Park, which are part of the City of Chicago’s Plan for Transformation. We investigate how diferent residents—relocated public housing renters,2 afordable and market-rate renters, and afordable and market-rate owners—perceive the early benefts and disadvantages of living in a mixed-income development. Respondents’ refections about their early experiences in the new mixed-income developments focus on the following four areas: Physical environment and quality of life; Emotional health and stress; Social relations among residents; Financial implications
